Planning again

Image
I am gear to plan for June holiday. Where are we going? Hmm quite standard as we are going back to Sitiawan for Grandma birthday. However for this year Cousin Ah Long is also holding his wedding around that date. Good for us as it kills two birds with a stone and we also get to travel all the way to Ipoh, driving in to Ipoh for the 1st time. Thinking of the food that we can eat.. yummy.. 大舅has booked a 2 storey semi-detached apartment for us at Ipoh which he told us consisted 4 bedrooms and only cost us RM$250 per night. With a kampong of us going back, I think we need that big square area of apartment. It is so cheap! If the apartment is well maintenance and clean, I dun mind going back again. Beside the food, people and places I can go and meet, I am thinking to bring the kids for another beach retreat. This time going to Pulua Pangkor, Xiao Yee was saying there was a nice golden beach on the island and all i need to do was to find out where is the beach and the closet hotel to the ...

Look what I found in my computer. Janelle was N1 when this photo was taken. 2.5year apart and yet Janelle looked so big beside baby Julian.

I was needed

Got a call from Eng Boon, asking if I will be interested in balloon sculpturing. Yes but the timing wasnt right. Another house visit is coming on 1 April, and I will be going to help. Last round was quite fun but this time Eng Boon wanted me to do more. I will be rotating with another member to take down concerns that residents are facing. Errr... secretary job, not my niche but I can try, hope I didnt not miss out anything.

我是煮饭婆

Law sent me this pictures and told me about the wok that he and MIL has discovered while shopping at OG. MIL said this was supposed to be a good wok according to the wok material. After much discussion Law had with MIL, he got me a new wok. It was quite rare for a husband to get a wok for his wife. This was what he got me, I just 开锅 last Sunday. Yes, like it claimed I did not need to use much oil during cooking and the surface was smooth and yet I did not need to worry if I will "flower" the surface cos there wasnt any coating on the surface. The con was it was heavy for me to do the food flipping by swinging the wok and yet it was still a pro to be heavy as it will not move while I doing large quantity frying like frying large amount of bee hoon.

A $20 Crab

My craving for crab was so strong that I paid a $20 for a single crab. Crazy? Oh if u were a crabby person this was definitely worth it but u think what is the different with this crab and other crabs u have other places then u really dun know how to enjoy crab. How I wish I could fork out another $20 or another crabs like this. I was not going after the meat, I am going after the ROE... yes the high Calories ROE only... Before I married my hubby, before I killed, prepared and cook my own crabs at home. Crabs to me are all the same but that was not true. My MIL taught me how to see the different type of crabs, I accoy her to Tekka market one morning when we needed to get crabs for a special get together occassion. As she was a gourmet expert so I have to make sure the ingredient I got must be of fresh and good grade. We went to a seafoos stalls that selling crabs, MIL asked for "Yellow Roe" crabs. The lady took out a plastic bag that was not from the big baskets that placed ...

A life long experience

It was indeed an experience for me and I never thought I will experience so much in just two days. 1st I was called to help out with the house visit. I went cos I thot if I participated more event, there will be more chances for my face to show around in the group and the committee will confirmed me earlier. My last impression of the meeting wasnt as pleasant and I have totally no expectation. However, the advisor surprised me of his friendliness and humour. The other members had also taught me alot during the session, I began to let down my guard and be myself. I was even surprised another volunteer like me who served with the same motive and was actually a mother of Julian's classmate. It was so nice to find someone who also working toward the same goal. I wished I will be able to give more to the neighbourhood.
