KY been a great help lately…here is the picture of her helping me to fold clothes...besides helping me in the kitchen and filing as written in my blog entries here and here.
Recently a friend of mine (who has the same birthday as I am and coincidently his dotter’s birthdate..yes birthdate here means even the year is the same as my dotter..how small can this world of coincidence be haha..try getting a table full of-means 10 pax the same birthdate all being your friends..wow…ONG- “lucky” man…)
Anyway just like to share this recipe he shared with me…Rock Sugar Noodles which is a traditional Teochew dish that is served for VIPs only. So taking this on your birthday (being a Teochew descendant I am) supposed to give me some ONG so to speak…haha…well at least this is what I would like to think it ..ha..ha…
So core ingredients would be:
That’s all.
Steps:
Put some rock suger in water and boil it
Note: Noodle is to be cooked separately
So after put in the egg
Then we can have a bowl of rock sugar egg noodle and it will rock us up
Cheers to all! Wait till after I experiment with this recipe and update the outcome of it..haha….

This week I bought some bitter gourd (because I have been a fan of it but hardly cook it at all for the past 3 years being a wife..hmm..why..well…unsure..but I have been eating it everywhere..bitter gourd noodle soup, bitter gourd dish in mixed rice…you name it!)
Is there any bitter gourd fans out there? How do you like your bitter gourd to be cooked?
I thought of frying it with egg, adding in noodle soup or even cooked it with salted beans or make it into soup.
Any other ways to cook up a yummy bitter gourd? Hmm…
Recently I stumble upon a nice site from Jamie Oliver and over at the site it has a steamed aubergine (some of us known it as “eggplant” or “terung” in Bahasa
I think cooking is an art really…and is a hobby to many…talking about this….I am tempted to try making my own pizza dough this weekend…crossed my finger and may I succeed on baking my first pizza for my DH birthday!
Cheers!
Previously a mom said to me ..oh my tummy…(pointing to bulging tummy) and said she hardly got time to exercise…
For me (who used to job 30mins daily if not thrice a week), honestly I have yet to return to my jogging regime..partly due to the fact that I have moved to a place whereby road running is not deem safe ..neither is there any safe jogging park at near vicinity.
But no excuses, I should be hitting the gym instead since the facility is there at my place…in fact KY been there more than I do when my dad is here taking care of her….she would run on the treadmill every morning at the speed of 4-5…woot…
So, perhaps it’ll be good that I bring her along so both of us get to sweat it out….while my DH take care the younger one and not two at the same time while I jog..yep..that is part of the reason why I don’t get to jog that regularly anymore…since erm I can’t really bring the stroller with two kids into the gym can I?
Hmm..enough said…I missed my jogging at the park or road out in the nature at better time…better secured environment and nicer weather…
What kinda exercise regime do you do as a mom/dad? Care to share?
I think exercise is still important despite the fact that breastfeeding helps me to back in shape pretty fast…by now I can wear those tight shirts and jeans.
So gym, here I come…
Well..not yet …at least not this year…but coming June I will be seeing my last age starting with “2”(opps..am I revealing my age here? Well..it’s not a secret to me..at least not now..maybe when I hit the no. 3)
Last weekend when I was planning to celeb for my sil and hubby(both falls on May), I can’t help but contemplating about my life (it’s been my habit ever since in my teens to do such yearly assessment and reflection before my birthday each year), what have I done(rather than accomplished..too big a word for me.. :P )..and what would I hope to do (accomplish yes this time this word..does sounds suitable)….in 10 years time(during my thirties that is)
What have many people (around me) in their thirties?
By the way, one friend of mine (who’s having the same birthdate as I do, even though older than me few years) have suggested I take a day off for ME time..well much that I would love such idea…BUT..hmm.. as working parents we might need to take EL or
And the friend shared with me a recipe that I should take on my birthday..Rock Sugar Egg(a traditional Teochew dish eaten during birthday which supposed to means that you are a VIP).supposingly can give me some pick-me-up…so stay tuned for my updates on this…at least this is one item that I will be doing on my birthday…something to give me some ONG(good luck)!
Cheers to All…do you all have anything to share about your birthdayssss? I am all EARS!
