My First Lantern

This afternoon, Grandma (my MIL) brought Ryan a lantern,it is a robot lantern,using batteries to operate.
Ryan was so excited and can't wait to see the robot do some actions(sing a song,make a shooting and walking action).
He even brought the robot lantern to the bedroom and put it beside his bed.Sleep together with his robot lantern.

Ryan used to scare of noisy sound ,it makes me hesitate to buy this kind of lantern for him. But I am wrong, Ryan is not scared at all now. This afternoon, when his daddy 'On' the lantern, he was so curious and wanted to hold the lantern by himself.
Brave Boy !!!

Happy News for Sharing !!

Another backdated post for sharing.These are all the happy news that happened for the past one week. Due to my Flu sickness, I am delaying in updating my blog.

Let's start with all the happy news to share with my bloggers' friends.

1. My Friend 's visit (5-7 Sept '09)

Last Saturday (5th Sept 2009), my friend Lily and her cute dotter came to visit me from Kuching. I was so happy to meet them,our last meet up was in Singapore 2 years ago. Now her dotter has grown up and so cute. I went to airport to fetch them, then brought them for lunch.We had CharSiew + Chicken Rice,after that I sent them to hotel for check-in. After having their shower and rest, we headed to town area. Lily came to Sibu to buy some curtain fabric as it was cheaper in Sibu compared to Kuching. The same kind of fabric can cost RM25/mtr,whereas in Sibu only sell around RM9/mtr after further discount.She spent few hundred bucks on fabric itself. For dinner, we have steamboat at Shabu-Shabu. That night, Ryan was not joining us.He was taking care by my MIL for that whole saturday. I was glad that Ryan did not fussy and good boy for that whole day. Of course, when Ryan saw me & his daddy back home at night, he was so happy. The first word from his mouth is 'Mummy Mummy'. I am so touching and faster gave him a warmest hug.

The next day (Sunday), I fetched Lily and her dotter for breakfast. We are having 'Tien Biang Hu',this is one of the Foochow special food at Sibu. It is actually made from a flour and is served in soup.Then we headed to a supermarket for a quick shopping before headed to my house. This is 2nd time Ryan met my friend's dotter (Peixin). They feel shy to each other.We also snapped some pictures at my house.
Around 1.30pm, we went for heavy lunch.Very Very full and even have some leftover (fried mee).After lunch, we went to Famous temple at Sibu (Tua Pek Khong),a small Sibu waterfront and Lily bought some xtra curtain fabric again.
Since it was going to be 4pm, we went back home.Ryan started to get fussy.Less than 5 mins, he fall sleep and I chatted with Lily while Ryan was having his late nap.
We have late dinner that night, we went to new kopitiam for our dinner,the food are not nice (feel regret go there eat,nothing is yummy).

Next Monday, Lily and her dotter were getting ready back to Kuching. They were on 11.30am flight back to Kuching. I sent them to airport and also took some pictures at the airport.Will share the pictures in my next post...still waiting for Lily to forward me the pics.

I am so happy for their visit and Hope to see them again!!

For adding, Ryan also received small present from Lily and Peixin, a puzzle & T-shirt. As for me, Lily bought me some local titbits (Tau Sar Piah & Pong Piah), pineapple cookies and crackers.Thank you so much,Lily & Peixin!!


2. Gift from Drypers company


I received a call from SCA last week that I was selected as one of the Star Letter for Apr-Jun'09 of Drypers Parents' Circle.As a token of appreciation for my contribution, I will received some diapers and Mystery gift from SCA.
It was sent to me by courier,the content are 2 packs of XXL Drypers Wee Wee ,1 diaper bag and 1 cow hand puppet.
When Ryan saw that parcel, he could not wait to open it up and see what is the content of the box.So excited!!

Thanks to SCA again, this is my 3rd time being selected as Star Letter in Drypers Parents' Circle.

3. Another present from My Friend Lily

Yesterday, I received a parcel again from Lily,Kuching.She bought me 2 packs of mooncake,some red packets(for my collection) and a suprise present for Ryan...that's Puku Petit water bottle. I love this water bottle,big in size and good in quality too. Actually Ryan has the same kind of water bottle ,but I left it in Medan(my hometown). I was finding high and low at Sibu,can't get it here. Ryan was so happy with his new water bottle and Thanks again to Lily & Peixin for this suprise present.

Flu Flu ... I hate It

My friend from Kuching is visiting me last Saturday and today she just went back to Kuching with her cute dotter.I was so happy can meet these old friend, we have not been meet up for about 2 years. She comes from the same hometown as me (from Medan too). We get to know each other from our husband.

This afternoon , I got my nose blocked after wake up from nap and I guess, the flu virus is bugging me AGAIN...Oh Gosh, I hate it. Hope after took the medicine, I will get better by tomorrow.

Temporary , I will have a break for myself and will update my blog again after I am fully recovered,so STAY TUNED!!!

Mummy's Bday Picture

Ryan was so excited when he saw his daddy took out the cake from the fridge...he faster ran to the living room...standby want to eat the cake.But then....mummy told him that has to snap some picture before we ate the cake. So my lovely hubby snapped some pictures for me(with Ryan).Too bad hubby did not snap our family picture..I myself also forget about it. I guess we couldn't wait to eat the b'day cake.
After blowing the candle...cut the cake . We all enjoyed eating the cake. The balance of the cake was sapu habis by 3 of us on the next day.(Big Appetite)!!

Happy Birthday To Me ***

Today 27 Aug 2009 is my Birthday. Don't ask me about my age. That is a secret. What I can reveal out is that I am in the midst of 30's (Already in Gear no.3). Time flies so fast...I still remember well the time I graduated from my high school,went to Spore for further studies, worked there for a couple of years,met my hubby in Spore,dating there and at last we decided to settle down back to Sibu. It was still fresh in my mind and now I am reaching age of 30+.I am now a mummy of 1 little boy.No longer enjoy my single life there.

Any special celebration for my birthday? Just a simple dinner at home and after dinner have a cut cake session.Hubby bought me a Tiramisu Cake.Ryan sang a Birthday Song for Mummy & also give me a kiss. I am so happy...tis is my 2nd time celebrating my Birthday with Ryan.

Will update some pictures in my next post.

*** Happy Birthday to Me ***

Countdown.....For my Birthday

Another 4 days...my age will add for another 1 year....so old:( Age is catching up and life is still go on.
Any celebration ??? Actually we are planning for dinner buffet on Sat night(22Aug - early celebration) at RH Hotel(only have buffet on every Sat)...at last cancel it off. Due to H1N1...better to stay indoor.

Hubby suggested to go for Pizza + KFC...tapao back home eat on 27 August. Not a bad idea since Ryan has been craving for both food.Then will get a birthday cake too (I am a cake lover). Any suprise pressie from hubby? Really don't know.Till now he never give me any hints yet.

5 4 3 2 1 .... Yeah......My Big Day !!

Food...Food...Food

I believe everybody try this Kue Lapis Beras before and that's one of my favo kueh.In Hokkien, it is also called Kow Teng Kueh.Ryan also love to eat this cake...so far, I can't find the best Kow Teng Kueh at Sibu yet...all are lack of coconut milk taste. So after googled for several recipes and make a comparison, I decided to follow this recipe.

It is my first time making Kue Lapis Beras, I reduced to half all the ingredient from this recipe. How about the outcome?? It taste not bad (according to hubby) and Ryan also love eating it too.
Probably will make this kueh again tomorrow if I am not lazy since we all love eating this kueh.


Last Sunday is a good weekend for me to try new recipe. I was craving for Chicken Rice (using rice cooker). I have tried cooking this chicken rice a few months back...and this is my 2nd attempt. Hope can get it taste better compared to my first attempt.
So Sunday morning, I went to nearby supermarket to get ready all the ingredients needed,I omitted the lap cheong and cut the chicken breast meat + mushroom into small pieces,so that easier for Ryan to eat.
Taste is yummy...and 3 of us finished up whole big bowl of chicken rice that Sunday night.


It is always a big headache for me while thinking of what to cook for Ryan today...,need to open up my fridge and checked out what ingredient available there before start cooking.I want to let Ryan try different type of food,prefer home-cooked food for him rather than tapao outside.Since there is some leftover rice in the fridge...let's try cook Fried Rice with tomatoes,sausages & leek for his lunch. I also added bit of tomatoes sauce into the fried rice...taste great and Ryan can't wait to try it out too..he kept walk to the kitchen while I was cooking the fried rice for him.

What Am I Busy Lately ???

I am just wondering what am I busy about lately apart from taking care Ryan full-time.Since MIL has started to work on her confinement job, I have to do my own cooking for dinner,been to wet market every weekend and of course have to do some house chores(mopping the living room + kitchen which is usually done by MIL when she is at home...Am I a bad Daughter-In-Law??).

I have not been touching my blog for the past few days since my last post on 10 Aug'09, the reason behind it is because I am addicted to SOMETHING. You might be wondering what's that??
------
-------------
-----------------
'The Little Nyonya' Drama is the movie that I am addicted lately. I just can't wait till 7pm and sit down in front of TV to catch up this Spore drama...Very Touching story about Nyonya & Baba Life in Spore & Malacca.I fall in love with this storyline..I managed to get this drama online via u-tube. Everynight I will spend about 1-2hrs to watch this drama online after dinner.I still have a few more episodes to go (now I am at episode-31)...before it comes to the end(total : 34 episodes).

Sorry for not dropping by all my friends' blog for the time being...Sure I will do it once I have finished with my drama.Not to forget to update my blog too.

For those who are interested to watch this drama, go to this link :
The Little Nyonya
or you can catch up at Astro AEC 7pm Monday-Friday.

Suprise Gift

Another backdated post....It supposed to be updated last 3 days..but due to my tiredness after do housechores & taking care Ryan 24/7, I just don't have an energy to update my blog at night.I need a rest after the hectic day.

Tonight, I feel more fresh and would like to stay up late to update blog & surf net.

I received this suprise gift from Mummy Yugene 3 days ago..A nice Mickey T-Shirt for my boy Ryan. The colour is nice and that's on of Ryan's favo cartoon character.

* Ryan would like to say ' Thank you ' to Auntie Yugene being so sweet to send him this little gift.

Steamed Cream Cracker Cake & Konnyaku Jelly

I have been craving for some Jellys & Steamed Cream Cracker Cake since last weekend,but just lazy to make it. Today, I decided to make both of them since hubby can help me takecare of Ryan while I am busy at the kitchen. This morning I went to nearby supermarket to get ready all the ingredients needed.

After having our breakfast, I started preparing the ingredients for Steamed Cracker Cake. FYI, I only learnt how to make this cake after I married and move back to Sibu. My hubby was telling me that he wanted to eat Steamed Cream Cracker Cake few yrs back so I asked my MIL how to make it.Not so difficult and I gave a try, taste not bad and I like it too.Even my boy Ryan also like to eat this cake.He can simply finish 1 whole piece by himself.

------------------
Let's me share with you this recipe :

Ingredients:
1.Sliced some carrots ,1 big onion, 1 can of luncheon meat and some leeks into small pieces.
2.Seasoning : pepper,Maggi Seasoning (powder form).
3.1 pack of cream cracker biscuit (I used Tiger Brand - the best is to use Jacob brand).
4.1 tin of Evaporated milk(any brand will do).
5.8-10 eggs (depend on the size of the egg).

Method:
1.Grease the baking tray(square size) with some butter ( that is to prevent the cake stick to the tray - easier to wash the tray).
I need 9 pcs of cream cracker biscuit per layer.You can use smaller size of baking tray,but must be in Square Size.

2.Stir fried the carrots,leeks,big onions + luncheon meat.Add the seasoning too. The put aside.

3.Beat the eggs,add in Evaporated Milk and mixed them well.

4.Soak the cream cracker biscuits into the step (3).

5.Layer the cream cracker biscuits into the baking tray (3x3).

6.Put in the mixed carrot+leek+luncheon meat+onion (from step-2)in the next layer.

7.Repeat till all the ingredients are used up.It will looks like a layer cake.

8.Steam high heat for about half an hour/till cooked. Served with Chilly Sos.

-------------------

We are having this Steamed Cream Cracker Cake for lunch. Ryan also having 1 piece of steamed cake + 1 bowl of Beetroot porridge for his lunch.

After lunch, I started to make Konnyaku Jelly (orange flavour).I am using Konnyaku Jelly Premix Powder from Jelea. So far, I only can find 2 flavours avail in supermarket : Lychee & Orange.


Hubby and Ryan only like to eat 'Jelly',they dislike 'Agar-Agar'. Since weather is so hot lately.... eating Jelly after dinner is the best appetizer for tonight.


** Happy Sunday **

Fried Kampua Noodle

It was a backdated post...I cook Fried Kampua Noodle for Ryan 2 days ago for his lunch.But no time to update this post.

Sibu is very famous of its Kampua Mee.You can easily find it available at the Kopitiam anytime.It is a Foochow noodle dish which is tasty and economical and loved by local people.

Normally,I will buy the Kampua mee from wet market (sell in wet or dry) and cook them myself at home.
Most of the times, I will toast the kampua mee with fried onion+garlic,add bit of oil and seasoning and add some spring onion. This time, I tried to cook it in another way by frying the kampua mee,added some sausages,sayur sawi + tomatoes.

The taste is good and Ryan likes it alot....a simple dish for our lunch!!

Babylove Organic Cleanser

Another backdated post...I received this Babylover organic Cleanser few weeks ago,sent to me by courier. I saw their advertisement in The Parenthood Magazine June'09 edition and they are giving free sample of 150ml Baby Organic Cleanser worth Rm9.90. So I faster sent them an email....3-4 weeks later I got their sample and till today I am yet to try it on as my current Pureen bottle cleanser still have some.They also gave me 2 pcs of gift vouchers.

To request for free sample of Baby Organic Cleanser ,please email them at : babylove@babyloveasia.com....Hope you will receive the sample soon.

Long Life Noodle(meesuah) Soup

Again... about food!!!
I always have to plan at least one day in advance for Ryan's meal. Since he has tried all kind of porridge since he was 6 mths old,has been eating noodle at least once a week...let's cook for him 'long life noodle(Mee Suah) soup' for his lunch today.Normally I will cook meesuah for Ryan when I have xtra chicken soup the night before. So today is the first time I cook meesuah for him without chicken soup.

Added some green vegetables(grown by MIL at house's compound),egg and some spring onions.I did not cook the meesuah together with the soup, coz the meesuah is bit salty. So I boiled the meesuah separately. Taste good...with this simple dishes, it takes 20 mins for Ryan to finish up the whole bowl.

Now...I have to think again, what is tomorrow meal for Ryan?? Porridge ?? Beehoon??
