CNY day 9

We partook in the tradition of preparing platters of fresh fruit, buns, ang ku kueh, and other dishes as offerings to the God right approximately at 00.00am tat day (大年初九).

Mom always superb at baking since her young age.

Lil sis was mimicking what she saw at grocery store few days ago and she did it daintily! =)

Ang Ku Kueh a.k.a. red tortoise cakes in Hokkien (bought from the godma).
The skin does not stick to the teeth and gives a good chewy feeling. The fillings are smooth and mixed very well with the skin.I like!

I clashed to the site which offers magnanimous numbers of cupcakes for any occasions before CNY, but the organizer repelled me with the pretext that the orders have overwhelmed her.
Well, I placed the order for the 8th day of CNY.
I texted her in the early morning to make sure tat I will be there at her place to pick the cupcakes up at around 6pm.
In the evening... See see see... the tigger!!! Awww... it is too cute...!!!
But too bad, the taste was a disaster!! The cakes are not any better and smoother than those sold at wet market.
The last 2 pcs were sitting nicely and neatly in trash bin on the next 2 days :(

We managed to click a few good shots during the time left.

2nd day of CNY

Whoa.. Please grant me an apology, guys! :)

Have been lingering far behind these days. I seem to be a slave to my work at times, hovering inside the workplace until 7 or 8pm at least twice or thrice a week is not my option. I talked to the colleague that I tremendously need another hand to help me.

Working on Saturday is totally a bliss (at least for now). I need tranquility and space to sort out all the things and deal with the filing and archiving. I dont have any time in between to do all those junk jobs on weekdays! Phones, emails, ym-es and bbms is driving me haywire the whole day!! *sob sob...*

Come back to the track now :)

I recalled I ever blogged about houses times ago (but cannot find the link).

Yes, mom and dad are intending to move to a new loft. But we haven't sign any covenant until now. We are still hunting.

We went to a new estate on CNY day 2. It seems special and unique, but still not the correct domicile needed.

We need a spacious one, not this little puny one! ;)

I will be back!

I will be back very very soon....!!!
Give me some potential time to let me keep you updated with my latest ramblings ;)

The day before CNY and the 1st day of CNY

I have back to work since yesterday, I granted myself a 2 days leave.
Well, I have an utterly lazy days. Phew..
Just gulped down a panadol and thanks God after an intermittent nap, I feel okay for another couple of hours now. As wat my dude uttered, Panadol is our bestest friend!

Back to my topic for today, a laggard post.
I left office much earlier than usual on Saturday and lent mom a hand in preparing for the reunion dinner. We were hankering so much to savor ourselves with those sumptuous home cooked cuisines. Super duper yummy!!

After the dinner, I was tasked to wash all the dirty dishes while sis was mopping the floor.

Pardon me for the lack of words on this post. I think I'm having trouble writing things since I came back here on my blog. hahaha..

Kindly refer to the photos below, I trust that you will able to depict the storyline.

1st day of CNY.

We both are too idle! Hahaha...

Gong Xi Gong Xi !!!

*complete update will be up soon*

Yeehaa... I will onli go to work on Wednesday.

Happy Roar Roar Year!!!

My best wishes to all of my readers (the dear friends and those whom I don't know) for a healthy, prosperous and successful Tiger year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!! Wan Shi Ru Yi!!
Also have a lovable Happy Valentine's day with the loved ones.


With lots of love....,
Me

Last dinner with the pals in Ox' year

-----Emblem of the day : Dinner with Double Fen-----

We were there in Sushi Tei again for sushi feasting on Thursday.
*first pic with the new dyed hair*
I lugged along my lovey dovey Nikon, but didnt memorize all the orders.
These were only part of the massive dinner we had last Thursday. Tis is not such a new issue tat we have super spacious 'parking space' to accommodate palatable cuisines. =D

Wondering whether they have roes inside? New menu in my list. Yums.. Saba shio, it's simple and goes perfectly with plain rice.
My all the time favourite crispy roll.
We finished off this splendiferous meal with an almost 1 hour plus of chit-chatting and gossiping. Whoa.. Ladies will never detach themselves from gossiping!
A lovely dinner we had :)

Welcoming the CNY

For me, its not a tactful thought to negate the pineapple tarts in CNY. It shud occupy the first 'must do' in my very own list. And there I was beseeching mom to bake some since several weeks ago. She proclaimed a very stern warning to me, tat I am the one have to be there to knead and mould the dough.

Did it clash with my own plan (get my hair tinted on Sunday) there would be no sacrifice too great for me to ask for a half day leave on Saturday, so I will have the full day free on Sunday for baking the pineapple tarts.
I left office at 12.30pm on Saturday and coming back home after burned a hole in my wallet.
I have a newly dyed hair now. hehee.. (photos will be uploaded soon since I didnt take any after the hair tint).

Sunday 12.00pm .....
I might be snobbish at time, these are all my works. ^v^
I restrained everyone from offering helps to mould the dough. Thanks,I still have the energy.Xiao Mei is infatuated to cheese cookies. She did almost 80% of the whole progress. She loves to garnish it with shredded cheese.
After the whole things done, I am rigid and stiff....
TIRED......

P.S. : I am now ready for dong dong dong qiang, Rae! ^^

Happy in tears

Address me as an emotional soul, I weep easily.
Several days ago, I heard a super good news from a dearest and it made me hard to chill my tears. I wailed.
The tears very soon formed in my eyes and it trickled down my cheeks. It was a godsend for the dearest, and as well for me. I was wailing while chatting with her over msn. I cried buckets, I swear!
This is the most mammoth good news I've ever heard!
I am thrilled, I am ecstatic, I'm in jubilation, I am enthusiastic about it.
Phew.. I so wanted to express my joy! Feeling deeply touched....
Dear buddy, please take good care of yorself...
