New Game & New Toy

Lately Ryan is getting addicted playing PS game. The PS player is belong to hubby,but since Ryan has grown up, he is allowed to play once a while.Now is school holiday and sometimes, he will keep begging to let him play longer.
Ryan likes to play those "racing car" game...I guess, that is boy's favo game.Now, he can control the car better on the racing track.Sometimes, he will ask either me or his daddy to play with him.


Last few days while doing our shopping at GIANT,hubby wanted to buy Ryan a super big lorry,but Ryan seem not interested on it. Instead he chose for a set of Mini Ultraman.

He is a fan of Ultraman.....from Max, Nexus,Mebius,Tiga,Cosmos,etc....
Hubby even downloaded some Ultraman movie for Ryan to watch on weekend.

Our simple lunch : Noodle Soup

Yesterday afternoon, I decided to cook something simple for our lunch. Since only left me and Ryan at home, I decided to cook "noodle soup" (our favo dish) for today lunch.
See what I have in the fridge : carrot, vege + sausages.These are the 3 ingredients I used for the noodle soup. Ryan does not like to eat fishball,so I hardly have any fishball in my fridge,but for sausages...Yes, I always standby at least a pack.
To add more aromatic to the soup, I added in some fried ikan bilis with sliced ginger + minced garlic.

Noodle soup is ready to be served.

While cooking halfway, Ryan kept asking me...is my noodle ready?...is my noodle ready? He is just too hungry and can't wait for his lunch.

Ryan was enjoying his Noodle soup...slurpppppp...

For your info, Ryan was having slight fever out of sudden two days ago,so his appetite was a bit down.
Today Ryan is doing good,of course, after taking "fever + antibiotic". Nowadays I always standby a bottle of antibiotic medicine at home for Ryan.At least, I do not need to rush him down to the paed when tonsilitis + fever is attacking him. Ryan is prone to tonsilitis, be it, I have control his food intake,but on and off, tonsilitis will come to visit him too. I planned to bring him to ENT for a check-up next year.

Sponge Cake

Today is my second attempt making sponge cake. I always wanted to bake a cake,but no oven at home. So my lovely hubby redeemed his credit card points with ELBA electric oven for me to do my baking project. I received the oven less than a week time.
Since Ryan is having his long school holiday, I have more free time at home to do my baking project. I started look for simple cake recipe to try out.

While doing my grocery shopping last week, I spotted "sponge cake mix" at the supermarket rack. Looks easy and simple to make, grabbed one pack and tried it out last week. The sponge cake taste great and spongy. Definitely a good try !!
Since I have a Giant blackcurrent jam in the fridge, I cut half the sponge cake and applied the jam in between,it taste good. Three of us walloped the whole cake in a day.

While writing this post, I am baking the 2nd sponge cake. I need to bake 3x to finish up the batter.


Baking in process....

The sponge cake is ready......hot from the oven.


Here is the "sponge cake" recipe for sharing:

500g sponge mix/optima
500g eggs
120g water/milk (I used water)
120g oil/butter/margarine (I used butter-melted)

1. Melted the butter and leave it to cool.
2. Mix the sponge mix with egg,beat with slow speed for 1 min. Change to high speed whip till the mixture is fluffy, slowly add in the milk/water and beat for another 4 mins.
3. Fold in the melted butter slowly with slow speed to complete the mixing.
4. Preheat the oven for about 10 mins.
5. Bake with medium heat for 45 mins.

Gonna write down a list of food we want to eat while holidaying in Medan.

K2 Graduation Ceremony

Tonight, Ryan and his friends are chosen to perform a dance for K2 Graduation Ceremony. Last Friday, Ryan has went for the rehearsal and I was there to watch the whole rehearsal....Nice performance by all the K2 students.
The ceremony will start at 6pm and I was told by the teacher to sent Ryan there at 6pm later. I can't wait to see Ryan and his friends dance on stage again. It was the third performance on stage for Ryan.
Happy Sunday !!!

Exam Result

Yesterday Ryan got his exam results and I am quite happy with his effort. He has done pretty well for this final year exam. He obtained full mark for Maths,English,Mandarin,Bahasa Melayu except for Moral subject he got 99.
For this 2 weeks, Ryan still need to go to school and school holiday will resume on 18 Nov 2011 till next year Jan 2012. Of course, there will be an orientation on 27 Dec 2011.
This coming Sunday, Ryan and his friends will have a dance performance for K2 graduation ceremony.So for this week basically do nothing at school except the rehearsal for this Sunday performance.

Sunday Outing

Today is Sunday and we don't have much programme to spend our family day. As usual, wake up around 7+am,then prepare simple breakfast for 3 of us. We have chicken charsiew pau for breakfast.
Lately my immune system is weak and easily get flu. Lucky I have the right medicine Clarinase to cure my illness.
As for lunch, I make a quick simple lunch ( noodle soup ) and we walloped everything clean. Even Ryan can eat 1 big bowl of noodle soup. Of course, I added some sausages,vegetables balls,etc (bought from Giant). After that, I have a nap for awhile and lucky as of now, it seems my flu is getting better. No more sneeze and runny nose.
Tonight, we will have a birthday party to attend. It is my husband's uncle birthday. For Foochow tradition, when a man reached 69 years old, he will be celebrating his birthday grandly (hope I get this info right)...correct me if I am wrong.

Another good news to share....Ryan just have another little "uncle" born last Friday.Although Ryan is older than the baby,but Ryan has to call him "Uncle".

So how do you enjoy your Sunday?.....

Ryan @ 4 years 9 mths

Another 3 more months Ryan will reach 5 years old. He is getting more independent and asking more Question (why ..why...why), I guessed it happened to all kids at his stage of age.Sometimes, I really don't know how to asnwer to his questions.
As for school, Ryan will be in K1 next year. At this moment, Ryan has finished his final year exam and now is waiting for his exam result. Hope Ryan can pass with flying color.
The happiest news is WE are going back to Medan next month (Yes...another 30 more days we will be in Medan for 3 weeks). I can't wait for that day as I miss my family & food alot. Yeah **** Medan, we are coming soon....

Looks good

Thanks for all the kind concern from Mummy's bloggers..Ryan is doing well now. I would say that he is recovering well ,however, still under medication as the doctor advised me to let Ryan finish up all the medicines.
The only problem I encounter now is to stop Ryan having biscuit at school. I have reminded him not to eat biscuit anymore since I always prepared tea snack for him everyday,but to my dissapointed, he still took some biscuits of from the biscuit box at school. My very concern is Ryan gets heaty easily and biscuit is not the right snack for him.
Yesterday I was very angry with Ryan as I got to know he ate biscuit again at school. As for the punishment, I did not let him watch his favo "ultraman" show for a week.
Am I too fierce to Ryan?....I guess, No.

Skin Allergy

This morning, while preparing Ryan for school, I noticed his leg has some red patches and when I took off his clothes, his body did have some too...Oh, what happen to him? Then I recalled he told me that his leg was bitten by mosquito,swollen big.....actually not mosquito bites,but it was the red patches. At last, I decided to let Ryan rest at home.
At first, I thought is "Hong Mok" (in hokkien ~ sorry, I did not know how to call in English or Mandarin). So I quickly warm up some white wine and applied on red patches and hope they will went off in few hours later. But it did not happened. Till his nap time, the red patches still there and around 4pm, Ryan woke up from his nap and his face started to get red too.
Tonight, we have a quick dinner and I quickly brought Ryan to Dr.Law, Unfortunately, it was closed and will only open on this Friday. Hubby drove to another child specialist centre and lucky Dr.Herman was in. It was also Ryan's first visit to this doc. After waiting for half an hour,we met the doct and Ryan 's throat bit red and have skin allergy. Got 4 medicine back home and paid Rm62.
Really hope Ryan will recover soon as he will be having his final year exam next Tuesday....

Good.....Good

I did mentioned in my previous's post that Ryan was having trial exam last week and yesterday the teacher have given back all the exam paper. I was quite suprised that Ryan scored good for this exam. He managed to obtain full marks for 4 subjects(BC, BI, BM and Maths) except Moral he scored 97.Not bad :)
Overall, I feel happy with his exam result and hope Ryan can maintain the same result for his coming final exam in the next 2 weeks(very soon....)
I do not give pressure to Ryan,but everyday I will give him some practices to do just to make him remember the vocabs.
Ryan, keep up your good work!!.....a new bicycle is on the way if he manage to get 1st place in his class(MIL promised to buy Ryan a new bicycle).
