Happy Day

I was so happy last night when I read a comment from facebook that I won a prize.
Yeah..at last my lucky day has come.
Last week, I tried my luck to join Jacker Potato Crisps contest (from Facebook). Only last night, I saw one of my facebook's friend tagged me that I won the 2nd prize :)

Thanks lot Jacker !!

Bake n Cook n Salad Kompiah

Last week, my baking mood was On..after doing my housechores, I started to get ready ingredients to bake Sponge Cake. My mom has brought small mould for me,so this round I baked mini sponge cake. Ryan was so happy when I told him that Mommy was going to make mini sponge cake for him to bring to school for breakfast tomorrow.
And here is the result.....


Yesterday, I cooked "Medan Rendang Ayam" for lunch. Why I said "Medan"..it is because the rendang paste was brought from Medan,my hometown. It taste spicy and tasty...and I just need to cook "steamed rice" to go with my rendang ayam. Easy meal for both me and my hubby.



After having the Rendang ayam for lunch, we continue to have a light snack "salad kompiah".
It was my first time having this salad kompiah.....thumbs up!!! it taste superb.
Kompiah is a traditional Foochow food. It is made from a combination of flour,yeast,water and alkaline. It is best to be eaten with stuffing like meat,vegetables,etc. Sometimes, I will eat with either curry or rendang...it definitely taste great.
Any blogger who come to Sibu, Kompiah is a must eat snack.

School holiday again...

At last I am back to my blog after missing in action for about a week.
Well, this month Ryan will have a few school holiday started from tomorrow onwards.
This morning when I sent Ryan to school, I saw the notice board have an announcement about the school holiday for this month of April. The school holiday is on 4th,6th,9th and 11th....(4 days in a month).
Good...Ryan must be very happy, can play n play and no need to wake up early for school.
For me, I also feel happy,meaning I no need to wake up so early too(oh no....lazy mom).

Till now, we have no plan for this school holiday yet,we just spend our quality time at home doing some revision.
We are looking forward for the coming Gawai holiday whereby we are going to the Lion City (S'pore) for a short holiday trip.

Stay tuned for my next post.....!!

Beads' time...

Saturday is always a relaxing day for me and Ryan,it is because no school for Ryan .We just spent our quality time together at home.Actually I planned to bake cheddar cheese butter cake,but after finishing do my house chores, I felt lazy so instead I took out Beads set that I bought for Ryan last week, This bead set is a complimentary for Ryan getting good result for his 1st school exam (Ryan get 1st rank for his 1st K1 exam).
It is our first time playing around with the Beads.It is fun but time consuming and my eyes easily got tired seeing those small beads and fixed them into the small hole. After fixing 3 pictures (teddy bears,car and dog), I ironed them and let them cool while we have out short nap.
Too bad the beads are too little and we only managed to create 5 shapes...Just wondering where can I buy those beads? Any idea?

Here is Ryan with his new pressie...beads set


And there is the results of our hardworks for today...

Goodies from My hometown Medan

Last week, my mom and sis came to visit me,for the very first time since I moved to my new house. Both me and Ryan can't wait for THIS DAY to come. We went to fetch my mom & sis around 2pm last Monday,then we headed home to have their late lunch. I have cooked Meesuah chicken soup & steamed siomay for lunch.At night, we went out for dinner near Medan Mall (forget the kopitiam name). The food was just "so so" (not so nice).
For the past one week, I was busy bringing my mom n sis out for a walk. We went to Star Mega Mall, Giant, Delta Mall, Medan Mall, Farley, Sing Kwong,etc.
They went back to Medan last Sunday,taking morning flight to KL before heading back to Medan.
Of course, never miss out goodies from My hometown Medan. Now, let's the pictures do the work....


RISOL SPECIAL - GOGO ( 1 box = 20 pieces )
My mom bought me 2 boxes and till now I have finished up 1 box.Left another 1 box in my fridge.


LapChiong from Pasar Sambas (taste superb to go with fried rice, fried egg,etc)


C&F Swissroll (pineapple, blueberry & mocca)- It is a must to buy if you were to visit Medan,although there are plenty of bakery selling swissroll in Medan,but overall, I still prefer C&F Swissroll.
Lou Pho Piang - 1 box = 10 pieces.


Tiny ikan bilis

Other goodies not in the above pictures are : sea cucumber,fishmaw, birdnests ,Adem Sari(for sore throat),Pocari Drink(taste like 100 plus).

Last week, I received my prize from Blackmores,another Facebook contest that I joined few weeks ago and I won a bottle of dietary supplement together with RM5 voucher. Till now I am yet to try the dietary supplement (such a big capsule...how to "telan"....I need HELP. Tell me what is the best way to Telan such a big capsule....I don't think it can go down through my throat.In my whole life, I am yet to eat such a big capsule of medicine/supplement.

Thanks Blackmores for this surprise prize.

And yesterday when I was back to my MIL's house, I saw a big envelope for me...Oh, something from my MP cum blogger's friend YeeLing. So kind of her sending me a cute pouch with some nice angpow packets(she still remember well that I collected those CNY angpow packets) and 2 cute stickers.

Thanks Ling for the gift.

Relaxing Day...

At last, Ryan has finished his school exam. Since last wednesday, Ryan was having an exam for Mandarin, English,Science/Moral,BM and Maths. Tonight is definitely a relaxing night for 3 of us. No more revision and Ryan can play his toys till max. While I am typing this post, Ryan is yet to sleep and he is still playing around with his blocks.Let it be since tomorrow is off-day for him.
Next week his exam results will be out,then only I will kan-cheong ...Is Ryan doing well in his exam? I know that he is trying his best.For the past 3 days, everytime when I fetched him back from school, I would ask whether he could do the exam questions and he answered me "YES",I can do all the questions. So just wait and see for the results next week.
School holiday is coming soon.... and we are planning for our first beach trip to Tanjong Manis.

Exam again...

Next wednesday, Ryan will have his first exam for K1 class (exam for 3 days). At this time, I started to get stress and doing more revisions with him on all the subjects that are going to be tested.
This year Ryan is entering Plus K1 class,for maths and mandarin it will be more difficult compared to Normal K1 class. For me, being a "BANANA", seeing those mandarin words stroke, my head started to spin. Actually it is a good chance for me to learn Mandarin while teaching Ryan his Mandarin subjects. But as day passed,his Mandarin lesson is getting tougher especially writing a mandarin words with more than 5 strokes...Oh no, I just can't remember them well. Today I learnt how to write this word, tomorrow I will forget about it and have to flip back the book to check. I would say, Ryan is writing and memorizing better than me for those Mandarin words.
Since Ryan is not attending any tuition class,of course, both me and my hubby have to put more effort in teaching him every night at home. I am teaching both Malay and English while my hubby is teaching him both Mandarin and Maths.
Both me and my hubby are trying our best to teach Ryan for his coming exam. Hope Ryan can pass and get good results.

Colouring Competition

Today is the first time Ryan joined colouring competition opposite Bukit Aup. Before registrating his name to his school teacher, I asked Ryan whether he is interested to join. Getting a "YES" answer from him and here we are at Bukit Aup this morning. (sorry no picture was taken as I forget to bring my camera).
It was started at 7am-9pm,but at last we stayed there till 11pm as the competition started late and we have to wait for the winner announcement.
You guys might ask....did he win the competition???

.........After been waiting for an hour, at last the result was out and Ryan did not win anything,not even the conso prize. He was bit unhappy,but lucky no cry.
I kept told Ryan..never mind, this round never win, next time do even better to get better prize.
I do think of letting Ryan join "colouring class" at his school,at least it does help to improve his colouring skills.

Although not a good news,but I just wanna to mark down this "Day" in my blog.

My Valentine 2012

Yesterday is a Valentine Day..How do I celebrate it? I just lazed at home with my hubby and Ryan. Nothing special for this Valentine Day. I also did not expect to receive roses or any gift from hubby. Since we got married, there is no more celebration on Valentine Day. Sometimes, we even forget about this DAY. For me, roses is just a waste of money, of course, If my hubby bought it for me, I would feel very happy.
This morning, I simply asked my hubby...no gift for me on this Valentine Day..and my hubby quickly replied, I have bought you an Air Ticket for this coming Nov for your trip back to "your kampung". Then I just smiled and kept quiet. In my heart, of course, I felt happy to receive the news that I am going back to Medan again this coming Nov.Can't wait for that DAY to come.
Down in my heart, everyday can also be a Valentine Day..as long as we love and respect each other, it is more than enough for me.

CNY performance @Civic Centre

On 14 Jan 2012, we went to watch CNY performance organized by Sibu RTM at Civic Centre (that was the night where our car was almost stolen).
The performance was started at 7pm,so we have an early dinner and quickly get ready for the performance. Ryan was getting excited to watch the dragon show,etc.
It was started slightly late around 7.30pm and was crowded,lucky we managed to get 4th row seat.
Ryan enjoyed the show for the first half an hour,after that he started to get bored and complained hungry.I forgot to bring some snacks for Ryan to eat.

Let's the pictures do the work now.....


















It was our first time watching CNY performance at Civic Centre and bad incident happened to us,such a bad luck!!
However, we enjoyed the whole performance...

Lastly, I wish all my bloggers' friends " happy chinese new year "

Gong Xi Gong Xi

On the first day of CNY, we just have a simply day going on. I would say, we spent almost wholeday at my in-laws house and visiting my hubby's aunt in the afternoon.

Wishing all my bloggers' friends "Happy Chinese New Year"

Bad Day

Last saturday (14 Jan 2012) was a very bad day for us.Why do I say so? That saturday night, we went for Chinese New Year performance by RTM at Civic Centre,Sibu. My husband received an invitation cards. We reached there before 7pm and parked our car near the market parking lot.I would say the place is bit dark because don't have lot of lamp posts.There are other cars were parking there too.
By the time the performance ended, it was around 10.30pm and Ryan was feeling hungry, so I went to nearby kopitiam tapaoed fried noodle for him. Hubby and Ryan walked to the car waiting for me. My hubby was shocked to see out behind car's lights were keep blinking and he sensed "something fishy" must be going on there. He opened up the car door and OMG....only left the gear stick,the whole gear cover was taken out by the thieves.Lucky, my hubby has the habit to Lock the gear before we went off for the performance,or else, our car sure went missing that night.Then my hubby started the car engine and see whether it worked...the car still can move.
When I reached the car, my hubby asked me to take a look at the gear and told me what has happened, it was dark at the surrounding and I did not even noticed our gear cover was taken out.Since the car could move,so hubby drove back home slowly and we managed to reach home safely.
Then we tried to re-call back...that night, it was raining heavily while we were watching the performance and we believed it was happened during raining time because the front seat mirror was bit wet. But we did not even noticed that the thieves was actually broke in through the car bonnet. Until the next morning, when hubby reached the workshop and they checked,then they told that the thieves came into the car through the car bonnet.The key hole was taken off too.
No choice, the bad incident has happened and we just hope our car can quickly get fix before CNY. We are still waiting for the sparepart to reach Sibu as there is no ready stock at Perodua workshop.
Hopefully we can claim back the expenses from our car insurance company as it costs around RM1500 for the whole repair.
