Are you a Book Lover?

Yes, I am!!

I think my love for reading was planted deeply the moment my English teacher, I think her name is Mrs. Thiang passed me three free copies of Reader's Digest. I was hooked instantaneously from then on. I would be reading Reader's Digest even right before taking the 1119 Exam :P

And when I started working(still single), the moment I get my paycheck, I would go to Popular, MPH or Kinokuniya for my book shopping. As I always end up with more books than I can finished in a month, I would have to fix my each purchase to three per trip. However once, I ended up buying 16 books(totalled close to MYR300) at MPH warehouse sales. Woot...that was the extreme(for me at least!!)


And naturally I am not missing out in buying books for my kids, from cloth book, to those tiny hard cover ones which we can bring along when travellling. Below is the picture of KY(I think when she is about 5-6mths old). But back then she prefered to chew on the book :P. Somehow I glad that my love of reading does rub a bit on her..she would now grab a book whereever she goes..even when I bring her to visit my friends.






And, yep one good news I would to share that Kitty Cat is having a giveaway at her blog aPregnantpause.net (1ChildrenBooks.com is giving away 2 (TWO) hardcover copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", each worth RM109.90). So if you are Harry Potter fans, do check out the giveaway here.



Happy Reading!



Cheers!

Rock up with Rock sugar egg noodle



Tah dah…my rock sugar noodle for my birthday…to ROCK me up. If you read my post about what special dish you normally eat during your birthday here, I was being introduced to this special Teochew dish by a non-Teochew friend, JS, who having the same birthday as me(minus the year..he’s more senior..hehe…).

 

And for the noodle, I specially added some kelps following the Korean style…I remembered one Korean drama they mentioned about taking kelps soup on their birthday…so I added plenty into mine for that extra iron and calcium.

 

Actually I made this on my “sickish” day..was down with fever(yea..on my birthday if you read my post here) and trying to make some soup and brunch then suddenly remembered this dish to try out…

 

And how was it? The verdict is….it TASTE yummy..and Jo(if you are reading this…) the sugary egg taste ok…BUT I must admit I prefer my egg salty for soupy noodle..haha…but at the end I don’t have the strength and patience to wait till the sugary water turn dry(if you see how to cook here), I just scoop the egg up when it is ready cooked..but at the end I drank the sugar water…it taste just like “tong sui” or those sweet desserts/soup we take.

 

So..are you Teochew and do you need some food to ROCK you up?

 

Try this dish if you dare..haha..

 

Cheers!

birthday exactly same day ddmmyyy as KY..yep they were born on the
same day! What coincidence!), my Accounting Teacher(in Form 4 &
5)..opps...I forgot her surname..gosh..memory lapsed...comrades from
Convent...you guys can recall? Was it Ms. Lee or what's her surname
already...cham...really getting old liao man...and I think my buddy
from my Convent school, Niu's father also falls on this day...and many
more I am sure...so......

Let's celebrate and sing along....

Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to
everyone...Happy Birthday to ALL!

Why Happy Birthday to ALL? Because..the fact that we are
ALIVE...("sheng" in chinese) today is our sheng ri (alive day) so Have
