My Breakfast

I am always having bread with kaya or jam,Pau,Mantao,or porridge for my breakfast.

After my hubby went to work, I started my project in the kitchen.
I opened up my cabinet...oh, just nice a can of luncheon meat and few slices of white bread.
Then opened my fridge, I have a KRAFT Cheese,carrot and some butter.
My brain started to think what to cook for my breakfast today.....*think think think*, got an idea,let's try make my "OWN RECIPE", not sure what is the title for my recipe.
I will think later as my stomach started to make noise.

Faster get out the steamer ,sliced the luncheon meat thinly and let it steeam for 10 minutes.
Once it is done, sprinkle few slices of thinly cut cheese on top of a bread,placed the luncheon meat and some sliced carrots,then top it with some cheese again and place another slice of bed..it looks like a sandwiches now.Apply some butter on both side of the breads.

I have not been eating toasted bread for very long time and my toaster has been in the store room for quite some time.It is time to make use of it.

I placed the sandwiches into the toaster.Toasted it for 3 minutes...smell not bad.
3 minutes is done,opened up the toaster,pour bit of honey on top of the sandwiches and toast for another 1 minute.

......... Ting Ting......... A ring from my toaster.

^

My sandwiches is ready to be served.Taste good....Cheesy and I love the honey mixed with butter taste.
Tomorrow I will be making this sandwiches again for my hubby to try out.

While eating, I kept thinking what should I name this recipe...
How about "Honey Cheesy Sandwiches"? Does it sound good.....?

All in One Again...

5. My Birthday Celebration (27 aug 2010).
At last, I can have a break for that night...no cooking for me and my husband decided
to bring us for dinner at RH HOTEL.They are having Ramadhan buffet and it is only available during the Ramadhan period.
Since we never tried before..let's go and have a our dinner there.
It was full house and lucky ,we managed to get the last table(just nice*table for 3*)
Then I was walking to see what kind of food they served for this Ramadhan buffet.Most of the tray are empty .. sure all sapu habis by other customers,as I saw some customers was having their fruits when we just arrived. We arrived there around 7pm,still early,but the buffet started at 6pm,so within that one hour, most of the nice food was sapu clean clean. Never mind,the chef was cooking to top up the empty food.
So I took non-spicy food for Ryan and for myself, Of course, I will choose those spicy food like rendang beef,prawn masak merah,ayam pongteh,etc..whatever balance food in the tray, I took some and tried them out.Not bad....I love those spicy food.
I was so hungry and did not took photo of the food.
We was there for almost 2 hours.....I was so full.Only after eating full,I realized that we have not taken any pics,faster grab my camera and snap few pics before we left the Hotel cafe.

** Wear a HAT **

I love to see my son Ryan putting on a hat...he just looks cute on it and he has few hats, all are a present from my mum since he was born.Since he has grown up now , it is time to get him a new hat as the size of his head has grown bigger .
I have been looking for some children hats at my town here,but seem can't find any nice one and I don't like those designs,not my taste...or maybe I have too high expectation...I guess so !!

When I was busy google for some nice hats online,I came across this Winter Hats Boutique.
They have largest selection of high quality winter hats at the best possible prices. For those who stay in USA and Canada, they will entitle for free shipping.
Such a good customer service...

Winterhats boutique has wide varieties from Woman's winterhats,Men's winterhats and even kids winterhats.
I love this "Herringbone Driver",the design looks simple and nice.


Not to forget, I also google for some of its Woman hats collection.Among its Womens Winter Hats collection, I am falling in love with this "Womens Wool Felted Hat".


Does it looks nice??.....Yes,I definitely love this hat design.(**hope my husband will read this post & give me a suprise gift**)

Shopping......for Children SHOES..

Am I a shopalholic?? Yes..I used to be a shopalholic when I was "Single" and still working in Singapore. Almost every weekend, I will go for shopping,not to forget buy something for myself,of course, I was not aiming for those branded goods.
As long as the things I like,suit me and the price is reasonable,then I will
grabbed it.That was my past...

Now, after married, no working(means no income), my shopalholic habit has "GONE".
I only shop for whatever necessary and most of my shopping is goes to my son Ryan.I seldom shop for myself.

I have been planning to get a pair of new shoes for Ryan since the one he is having now started to get tight for his feet.
While browsing through some online store for children shoes, I came across this children shoes website - baby shoes.
Start-rite today is an eighth generation family business. They are a wholesaler whose brand retails through a network of over 400 independent and multiple retailers across the UK and internationally.Apart from it,Start-rite shoes achieved another first when, as supplier of footwear to the Windsor children, it was granted the Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth in 1955.

After browsing through this interesting website, I definitely fall in love with some of the shoes displayed especially these Trainer GSR 1905.
The shoes is ultra lightweight and non-marking whilst the cushioned sock offers additional support and comfort. The additional benefit is the anti-bacterial lining which eliminates any odours. This is definitely the best shoes for sport(ie: football).

How I wish I have a daughter, as the shoes range for girls in Star-rite are so tempting. I can't resist to google more on Girls' shoes section and I found some girls' shoes that I like.
Does it means... I am planning for my second child?? ...... " A Big Question Mark"......Let's you guys GUESS !!*****

Lastly, I found this useful tutorial in youtube on how to on how to measure your own kids' feet using Start-rite's programme called Click 'n' Fit. By using this programme, you can accurately measure your child's feet, determine the footwear size appropriate for your child and make your order from Start-rite. Pretty simple...,right?

Take your sweet time to have a close look on this tutorial:


Star-rite is not only offer best range for children shoes,but it does have provide a good information on how to get the best shoes which fit your child's feet ,not to forget, it does have "win free shoes" contest opened to UK residents only.Don't miss out this good chance!!

Today is My Birthday

*** Not Ryan's birthday,but is Ryan's mummy birthday ***
This morning, I told RYan that today is his mummy's bday,then he said...
No No...is Ryan's birthday.
I guess my boy like to have birthday few times in a year,because he likes
to eat cake.
Not to forget, ryan sing a birthday song(malay style) this morning before
he goes to school. So cute.. and I definitely feel happy today.

I wish myself " Happy Birthday "...

My Bad Day...

My Birthday is fall in August...another 4 more days to go will be
my BIRTHDAY. However,alot of bad things happened to me within these two
weeks.

The first case is happened last week when I went to renew my VISA.
It has been my fifth year for Visa Renewal and I always park my car at the
roadside(yellow line area) because the car park is always Full-house.
I reached there in the morning around 8.40am...unfortunately, I forget to
bring enough cash ,therefore, I drove back to Maybank to do the withdrawal and drove
back again to the Immigration Office.
Parked my car at the same place (yellow line area) which I used to park there
every year when I renewed my visa.
Walked up to the office and it was DONE within 15 mins...Super Fast!!
OMG...when I reached my car, I saw a slip of paper near the mirror there, I was
thinking it should be some promotion notice of certain goods.Unfortunately,
when I read carefully, it was a SUMMON from trafik polis...Oh gosh, it was my first
time to get a summon and one thing for sure, my wallet is going to have another hole
again.
I have just spend RM105 for my visa renewal and now I have to pay for the Summon.
Anyway, it cost me RM30 for the summon(not a big sum...but also money lol).

The second case is happened TODAY (23/8/2010). I went to fetch Ryan back from school and these two days Sibu was kept raining and some area has flooded.
Outside my house main road was bit flooded and it was jammed with so many cars, so
I thought of going back home from another route.However, I never knew that the place I intended to passby was so terrible...it was flooded very high and I got myself stuck in between. I should say " I am stupid", I should not drive all the way through
the flood water in the first place,but I also never realized that the water level
can be so high and it was not only flooded at that part of street, It was almost
the whole street was full with water.
I could not blame others..I should blame myself being " so stupid ",what to do....???
My heart was beating fast and my brain kept thinking, should I u-turn back in order to go back home...and If I were to u-turn back,of course, I have to pass through again the flooded area where I have pastby just now and for my car...it is pretty dangerous...my car engine can be easily stop working and I will be in the middle of the "SEA"(really looks like a sea..yellowish water).
Luckily ,there was another uncle who followed my car and he was stucked here with me.
Have a short chat with him on what is his next plan...at last, I decided to park my car at the road side(that car park has no water),then follow that Uncle's car back home with Ryan. This Uncle was kind enough to send me home...Thanks God!! I have a rescuer.
Before I went off to his car, I noticed that my Plat number(front part) has gone missing and I believe it was lying in the flood (the yellowish water)...what to do...
I have to spent Money again to make the new plat number,or else, police will catch me
again.
After reached home and have my lunch...my MIL sent me to nearby neighbourhood to
get the Plat Number done,cost me RM40.At that point of time, the sun was bright and the water level started to slow down...best time to fetch my car back home.So MIL
sent me back to the place where I parked my car. Still flooded,but at least the water started to slow down(not that high level).
Slowly, I drove back home safely. Thanks god....I managed to get my car back home.

I pray hard that no more bad things happened to me AGAIN.
My birthday is coming soon (this 27 Aug) and I wish all those bad things will bring
some good luck to me.Pray hard!!

" Sand Castle and Christmas Tree "

I am back...after MIA for 3 weeks,at last I have time to update my blogs.

I have been busy with daily routine and was fall sick last few days(sore throat,fever and body-ache).
Today I feel much more better,just need to drink plenty of water to make my
throat feels comfortable.

Let's go back to the topic...It is another backdated post about Ryan's
creation.
My husband has been buying MacDonalds Set Meal just to collect the McD World Cup Contour Glass,for 5 consecutive weeks and he also bought 2 sets for each week.
The set meal came with ice-cream sundae and I kept all the ice-cream cups for
Ryan to play(as his toys).
Ryan has been using them to play bowlings,create sandcastle,christmas tree,etc...
Whatever he can think of,he will do it.So I just let him play around with the Mcd cup and see him play happily, I also feel happy.

Let's the picture do the talking now.......



**Sand castle**

**Christmas tree**

Do they look like SandCastle and Christmas Tree?
For sure...Ryan will say "YES".....

Ryan's progress..

After resting at home for 2 months, Ryan has started his half day nursery class in July 2010.

I was so worried that he will cry and make a fuss at school. Thanks GOD,...everything is going well and he can adapt well.
The only problem is that he still refuse to eat the food given by the school. I have to tapao some cake or bread for him to school,or else, he will get hungry.
Of course, every morning, he will have a bottle of milk before goes to school.

Ryan can sing lot of nursery songs and his writing and colouring skills has improved too.
Every night, I will do some revision with him on letters and numbers.
Last night, we did a writing of number 4. and he managed to write it well.
Tonite, we will be doing number 5 and number 6.

Sometimes when I read out certain letter, he will be able to write it out too.

My big problem is writing a mandarin words. Since I am BLIND with mandarin words, for sure I won't be able to teach him Mandarin in future.It is time for me to learn Mandarin too. Oh Gosh ** .... am I too old for it??
I have to start myself up from the basic level........I am not sure whether my brain is working well or not,after retiring from my study for so long.Need some motivation to do it well !!! Help Help Help..........

New Look......New Day **

After resting at home for 2 days due to stomach upset, Ryan has started school again today. Everything goes well... He can adapt well except does not want to eat the food given by the school.
Really hope he will stay healthy always !!

Today, as usual I picked Ryan up from school around 11.45am,then we headed home for lunch. He has home-cooked kampua with green vege + capscium.
After resting for a while, I brought him for a hair cut.Ryan gets sweat easily, therefore I prefer to keep his hair short.
He sit well while the auntie cut his hair. No cry .... Well done, Ryan!!

Once reached home, I washed his hair & showered him at the same time. Ryan put on his own clothes after showering.
Then he stood in front of the TV, saw his own reflection and told me : "Mummy, Ryan botak".I told him he is not Botak,but his hair is short only.

AND............Yeah, this is Ryan's new look.


How's my new look??? Nice or not....???

** Ryan 41 mths old **

Time flies so fast...Ryan has reached 41 mths old today. Today is marked as his 1st day school after having long break for the past 2 mths.
I am so glad that he is doing fine today at school,no cry,never look for "mummy" & behaved well too. The only problem is that he did not want to eat the food provided by the school.Therefore, I have to tapao some light snack for him everyday.

So what are we doing for the past 2 mths since Ryan was at home with me all the while.
I teached him writing,colouring,play puzzles, watch his favo show ULTRAMAN,play toys,sing songs,etc...

I can see some improvement in his colouring skills, Ryan can hold the colour pencil properly & colour within the range(sometimes will out a bit here n there). But overall, it shows an improvement & he has done a good job.



I also has trained him in writing A to Z,but I noticed Ryan can only memorize those words with either vertical or horizontal line,those letters come with bit of curve,susah for him to remember yet.
So far, he can write H,L,I,T,C,E,F and number 1.Need more practice on his writing skill.

Recently, Ryan has a new favo comedian show "Backkom". It is aired on Astro Ceria, very short show,but super funny. Either I myself also like to watch. This comedian show should be originated from Korea.

Not to forget, Ryan likes to eat ice-cream, he prefer walls mini cornetto. He also like to drink Vitagen & Solivite. Tomatoes & barley water have been a light snack for him almost everyday.

Lastly, I wish Ryan stay healthy always.
* Mummy & Daddy Love Ryan *

TQ so much SCA for the gifts...definitely can save my $$, I have not been buying diapers for more than 2 years.


2. Parcel from my hometown.
My friend Lily from Kuching is going back to my hometown Medan last month. This time I asked for her help to bring back " some goodies " for me, get my brother to buy: Immuno8 Chewable Vitamin for Ryan (my niece Yixin is taking these vit,so I decided to give Ryan a try too to boost up his immune system),Clarinase (flu medicine - Medan is selling super cheap 10 tablets less than Rm15 ,while Sibu is selling Rm3/tablet),Pocari Sweat (it taste like 100plus,but no gas...), shirt for me & Ryan (get it chopped @ temple during CNY - called "pho un" in hokkien).

TQ so much Lily for your help....brought back my "goodies" from Medan & sent to me via Poslaju from Kuching to Sibu.


3. Thomas & Friends Train Set.
Ryan has been fancied about Train....Since he did not have any train toy, I went to nearby supermarket to get this train set for him. Not expensive Rm11.60 with 10% disc.
Ryan was so happy with this Train set...played it everyday. As of today, he started to get bored with these train set & I have kept it inside the cabinet.
What I can say is Sibu don't have much toys to choose...designs & ranges are pretty limited.


4. Puzzles.
I bought Turtle wood puzzle for Ryan somewhere last year & only recently I took out for him to play. He is very good in solving this puzzle nowadays.
So I bought 3 new paper puzzles for Ryan to play with picture of Thomas & friends, Mickey & friends , Vehicles (less than 20pcs/set). He can fix all those puzzles well too.

I Hate IT...

Really not sure why I easily fall sick recently. Almost every month I will get minor sickness and most of the time is Flu.
Lastnight, before going to bed, I sneezed a few times,then I went to sleep without any medication.
This morning, I felt my throat is pain & bit of blocked nose. OMG....the flu bug is attacking me again. I HATE IT ...
I prayed hard I fast fast recover,don't spread the germs to my boy Ryan. I have been taking the medicine I got it from doctor last month when I was down with flu & sore throat too.
Now feel slightly better,but on & off I feel bit headache. I also drink ginger water,home remedy that I found online which works for me previously.

Wish myself have a speedy recovery as I need to takecare of Ryan full time.Lucky tomorrow is Sunday, so hubby can help me up in taking care Ryan.

Wish everyone " have a nice weekend ".
