Road Trip June 14

Image
Sometime planning for a trip can be stressful, have to plan the route, check out the places to eat, ensure we have packed enough clothes for everyone, there are medicine prepared for every situation that we can anticipate. Especially for working parents like us, we can really work ourselves to prepare to get office settled and then checked that everything in place till late night. Usual I will sleep the latest cos I have to make sure the kids get enough sleep so they are able to wake up tmr and Law get enough sleep because he is the driver. Checking through and ensure I have packed the passport, snacks, water, camera battery are charged, my restaurant list for all the various locations was plotted and finally I can go to sleep. Kiasu driver to have a standby GPS in the car. 

Chinese Book Festival.

Walk into the hall and there are books and books. I told myself to stop buying anymore storybooks for the kids but I also know sometime it is very hard to find suitable books the kids like in the library. Julian's form teacher wanted us to let him chose the books he will like to read. Janelle is a season reader and she read almost every thing but no Chinese book. I was only intended to get books for kids, trying my luck to see if I could grab some offering interesting books. Walked to a booth and was introduced to an British author very famous for writing kids books. I was told that the schools took a section of his story as a comprehension topic in test and exam paper. Impressive, kan cheong and Kiasu personality kicks in. I must have the books for the kids to read,  it must be good else the schools will not adopt his passage for papers. Here increase my collection of kids books again. I hope the kids will like it and beneficial to their progress. The othe...

Selfie

New gadget and happy kids selfie.

New collection of "JUNK"

Image
I actually not sure if I am getting more junk back home but I know I will be using them shortly. Selfie pod and remote shutter. I wanted it for our coming road trip and when I show them to the kids and demonstrate how to use it, they went crazy over th remote shutter. They started jump, making funny faces infront of my phone camera. A good memory to safe keep. Another product is an electric cooker, a mini one. This is not very usual for me cos I usually get big pot and pan cos my kitchen usually equip with gadget to prepare for big party.  But it was such a tiny craving to get my hand on this cooker. There are many models and brands around so which one to purchase? One user in FB recommend this 小熊 brand which has a lid for the two pots comparing to other that doesnt have. 

太婆, 生日快乐

Image
I rbr I cooked for Law grandma last year during her bday. This year MIL ordered buffet to celebrate with her at home. Calling her closest siblings only and u done my part to cook the sweet n sour fish maw soup that grandma love. On top of that I did kueh kosui and tapioca cake for her. She told me I managed to create the kueh kosui she like. She likes the soft texture n the sweetness is what she likes. Knowing that it was so easy to make but yet so expansive to get outside. She was so happy that we went down to celebrate her bday for her but upset that some of her children actually forgotten about it. Hope grandma of good health and longivity.

Honey Lemon

Read so much of it so I decide to try out as well. Got myself the ikea glass container to marinate the lemon in the honey. One layer of lemon slices, one coat of honey. It take about 4 to 5 lemons to fill up the jar. Read that to fridge for 6 days or 1 week before consuming. Okay I will wait.
