Baby Jairus is learning to walk now. He's also in the grab-anything-and-put-into-mouth phase. I realised remote controls are his top list!

couldn't sleep

i spent 4hrs reading all my blog entries and comments today. All the happy, sad, angry, crappy memories... Every moment is still vivid in my mind.


i miss my family.

we thought we will strike rich this time

After a long 6 months of procrasination, we finally make time for some gardening work *yes, u all can go buy toto & 4D liao*



Our very fertile garden soil grows alot of funny looking weeds, funny looking bushes and funny looking shrubs hence we pledged to dig them all out and plant some nice flowers so as to make this world a better place to live in :)




he dig and dig until he hit something hard







GW: hoh sei liao, if we can get this gold out then we will strike rich!






It was deeply rooted and will take the strength of 40 men to pull it out. But gw didn't give up, the gold somehow motivated him to persevere...

to everyone's surprise, he dug out a 1000yrs old ginseng!!!

sibeh boliao

ever since gw bought a car, we are always not at home...






seaweed fishing

shopping for popper








prep work







casting the rod!









i think i caught something!!!!





















Haha, do so much action and only caught seaweed!!!










Let me show u the way *act serious*






Got abit of commercial time so *act chio*





heh heh, this place is definitely infested with seaweeds...

We didn't stay for long as it started to drizzle. We realised we are not producing any result from our fishing & ended up clearing seaweed from the sea only lor!!! Hope we can find a better fishing spot and update with pictures of our catch soon.

Peace.

see properly it's macaron, not macaroni!!!

3 housewives were making macarons at my place. Seline was the heroine who provided all the instructions and ingredients so we can satisfy our sweet tooth :)




in case u have no idea, macarons look like this. It's a dessert from France






u need to sieve grounded almond, so there will be no clumps on ur macaron shell







Sherin: YES! I'm very hardworking, see the way i sieved the grounded almonds!





sieve icing sugar








u need egg whites






mix everything together and whisk it at full blast turbo!!!! HOHO!!






Factory workers







Seline: Aiyo, very sian leh... how long more to whisk this bloody thing? If only i have that automatic whisking machine, i could have used the time to eat my lunch, take a shower, watch desperate housewives & walk the dog...








Add in colouring of your choice... easy... GREEN!




pink is nice too!






fill the piping bag and squeeze your macarons on the baking sheet. Seline's made her macarons nice and round :)




This is sherin's macaron, they are so ugly and i couldn't stop laughing!




But mine was worse, turned out like shit. Didn't know it was so difficult. next time don't anyhow laugh at people ok!










ready to send for baking








bake at 160 degrees, for 15 mins

craving for mooncakes

yes, mooncake festival is coming and sure enough i'm starting to crave for my favourite mini greentea ping pi mooncake from bengawan solo... but here never sell leh, how???



Aiya.. make your own lah! yaya, easier said than done. I went to search for the recipes online and also played a few mooncake videos from youtube. Didn't help much and just MAKE MY CRAVING WORSE ONLY!!!! Difficult to get ingredients like cooked glutinous rice flour & tau sar etc etc. I msned with kersin and she offered to open her "provision shop" so i can get some of these rare stuff from her. So nice, will repay u when i go shopping in malmo bus ok! But hor, i just realised my mooncakes may turn out like shit cuz i do not have any mould.




Ok, whatever... will post picture of my mooncake if i succeed.
