Experiences

Well, I am the only one to cook for the family every Chinese New Year. As usual, I had prepared myself by marketing for foodstuffs especially the vegetables, chicken and pork. My husband bought fish and prawns for me. I didn't go to work on the CNY eve as I needed to get ready for our reunion lunch. By the time my husband and kids came back from the shop, it was almost 4pm. I had already prepared the lunch. CNY reunion lunch dishes At 8pm, I just had reunion dinner with my kids as my husband was out. After the dinner, we went for a late night movie. On the first day of CNY, I prepared noodles for my family.  It was already 11am. At 3pm, we had lunch. Their father had gone out after breakfast. At 8pm, we had our CNY dinner. Their father came back just on time. Tomorrow is visiting time... Gong Xi Fa Cai!

This year, I received lovely CNY cards from some of my blogger friends and suppliers too. Thank you very much. Just recently, I received few more CNY greetings . They were nice cards and the 'fook' word is simply awesome! The above are hand-made and they are very special. The 'horse' is so 'handsome'.  Here's wishing all my blogger friends  a very Happy and Prosperous  Chinese New Year! May the year of the horse brings you lots of good health, wealth and happiness!  Thank you for being my friends!  

Remember I posted about my hamster being killed about 3 months ago? So we thought three was a crowd. Thus, the weaker one was killed. The two hamsters got along very well and they seemed to love each other's company. Once I saw the white one chasing after the black one and I was tickled. He must be a gay!  Well, they even slept so close to each other. They were great friends.  When my girl came back from UK, the first thing that she played with was our dog, Teddy. Teddy was so happy that he didn't even bark. Next she saw the two large tortoises but she didn't play with them. She just had to see her baby hamsters. She knew about Hammie and Sammie's passing. She was curious about how the baby male hamster was being killed.  Never mind about that. She just loves to play with the baby hamsters even though they are grown-ups now. Last Sunday, she cleaned the hamsters' cages. But last evening, her friends came and they were playing with the hamsters. Suddenl...

Last Friday when I was at KLIA welcoming my girl back from UK, we stopped by a chocolate shop. I wanted to buy more chocolates but I didn't have enough cash. I didn't bring my credit card as well. Actually, I had no intention to buy any chocolates in the first place. But the word Chocolate at the shop was so tempting.  I grabbed Lindor, Kinder and Hanuta. But I had to let go Hanuta. We keep the Lindor but I gave the Kinder to  my staff whose birthday was yesterday. My girl bought lots of chocolates from UK.  This Kit Kat is for my boy. Bounty is for me as she knows that it's my favorite. and Hanuta too.. I simply love chocolates!

Recently I had a challenge whereby the customers posted their breakfast at Chang Jiang. I decided to give all the participants a dim sum treat. There were 7 participants altogether. Only 3 came. Too bad the others couldn't make it. We were enjoying the dim sum.. first round.. second round.. We had fun time enjoying our dim sum and chat..

This morning I took the bus at Amanjaya Station to KLIA to welcome my girl back from UK.    the Amanjaya station  I took the 9am Yoyo bus which cost RM42 per trip. This book was bought for me by my youngest girl. Finally, I could find the time to read. It is a motivational book which talks about life and our dreams. The bus reached KLIA at 12.30pm. I went to the arrival hall and waited for my girl till 1.15pm. Then we headed back to Ipoh at 2pm. Reached Amanjaya station at 5.20pm. Reached home at almost 6pm. Took my kids to Yum Yum to have a scrumptious meal  to welcome my girl's return. Home sweet home, my girl!

Yesterday was my girl's birthday. She didn't want a cake. She said it's so unhealthy. Ok, so we decided to go for our breakfast together. She took me to a coffee shop in Ipoh Garden. While waiting for our noodles, we had the fried har kau. Then our misua came. It's good to have misua on one's birthday. Just a simple breakfast but it tasted so good. I even drank up the soup. And also tapau for the boss. He liked it and asked where we bought it. I told him and he was surprised. "All the way there for breakfast?" I replied, "Why not? It's Jean's birthday!"
