ABC Pasta

Have been thinking of what to cook for Ryan's lunch today...suddenly I remembered this ABC pasta. Dig out my fridge, have tomatoes,sausage & carrot & other vegetables.

Ok...let's make ABC Pasta for Ryan with tomatoes,sausage,carrot and big onion. I bought Mushroom Pasta sos a few weeks ago ... time to use it up.I cooked 2 plates of pasta,for me n for Ryan. I am so happy that Ryan like to eat Pasta(same with me,Pasta mania). We finished up the pasta within 20 mins.....Feel so full!!

Another Attack ***

My nose was feeling itchy last night...Juz wondering will the flu virus attacking me again?? My body is getting weaker nowadays,easily attacking by flu virus(every month will have flu). Probably I am lacking in consuming Vit C.
Bit of running nose this morning(not worse condition)... will consume my medicine after having my breakfast later.
Hope I will be fine soon as I need to take care Ryan full-time & I don't want the virus transferred to him.

Wish myself have a speedy recovery!!

See **** What am I busy about ??

What is my little son doing in front of his daddy's laptop??



I noticed Ryan know how to climb up to the chair by himself lately and sit in front of the laptop playing with the keyboard,normally he always sit at our lap while we are surfing nets.......Lastnight while his daddy was surfing nets, he said 'Ryan Ryan' insisted that he wanted to surf nets too. Okie~~...let him be the little blogger for awhile before asking him to sleep. He pretended to be a typist....kept pressing the keyboard and accidentally the screen appeared a DOG,
Ryan said : " ooh ooh-ooh ooh " (he means a dog is barking).I quickly walked to the laptop to take a look on what is on the screen. That is really a dog on the laptop screen making some cute expression.

I better pay xtra attention to Ryan in case he climb up the chair when I am not at his side next time.(scared he will fall down and knock on the table).

Dry Scallop & Cauliflower Porridge

It has been long time I never blog about Ryan's meal.Today I cooked Dry Scallop & Cauliflower porridge for Ryan as his breakfast & lunch.Dry scallop has added nice aroma and sweetness to the porridge.Added some carrots to make the porridge looks perfect and yummy.

Cauliflowers are a great fiber source.It is also a perfect source of B vitamin, which having an important part in cell growth and replication, especially for expecting mothers and for people on recovery from illness.In a short words, cauliflower is a perfect choice when you need to maintain your body healthy and also to strengthen the immune system.

On top of the porridge, I added some egg omelettes.Ryan loves it so much, he can somply finish up the porridge within 15 mins.

A simple yet delicious meal for my little Ryan.

Robot ** Robot

Lastnight after dinner, we all sat at living room watch Doraemon (Ryan's favo cartoon). In between,there was a Petronas Advertisement on Transformer Robots. Ryan was so happy and kept say 'papa,robot robot'. After the show ended, he kept say ' robot robot ' and pull his daddy's hand, wanna go out buy robot. OMG *** Ryan is fancy of new toy again.
No Choice...we went to town area and at last I bought him ' Dark Rider Batman ' for him (cheap cheap one RM6 only for 5 pcs).Ryan was so happy and showed his daddy his new robot.Is it a robot??? ~~ Ryan likes them alot. He even slept with his robot lastnight.

Sick .... Sick .... Sick

Again....Ryan falls sick. Yesterday I noticed he kept sniffing,but then no running nose at all. So I did not let him take the flu medicine. This morning after wakeup, I noticed he has running nose and also sniffed a few times. Lucky he is quite cooperative taking the medicine. Then proceed with breakfast (corn+pumpkin porridge). No shower for Ryan today as here is raining day.Appetite is no change and still active like normal. Keep say " eh eh eh" (referring to'shoes')...he wants to go jalan-jalan.
What I can say is that Ryan is not a homely boy...


Hope Ryan will recover soon.

Actually some of his cars are brought back from Medan (belong to Ryan's cousins), last Dec when we were back to Medan, his cousin gave him some cars to play and then When we were back to Sibu on Feb'09,I brought all the cars back too for Ryan.

Dragon Boat Festival '09

Another backdated post....Lately I was pretty tiring after taking care Ryan. Actually I have alot of things in mind to be write up in this blog ,but every night I was too lazy to update my blog.

Let's get back to this topic. Last Thurday 27 May'09 was marked as Duan Wu Jie (Dragon Boat Festival). As usual, MIL started make zongzi a few days before Duan Wu Jie. I did not how to make....I will only contribute my mouth to eat...hahaha:)
MIL make 3 types of zongzi : peanut,bak chang & red bean.


On 27 May'09, MIL cooked alot of food for dinner to celebrate the Duan Wu Jie (almost 10 dihes served on the table). Same time, MIL also invited some guest came to our house for dinner.Ryan also enjoyed eating fried mee with vege+fried chicken that day.Sorry too busy eating...so never snapped any pics.

Let's me share with you all the history of Dragon Boat Festival:-
Dragon Boat Festival is called Duan Wu Jie in Chinese. Jie means festival. The festival is celebrated on the 5th of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar (June 4, 2003).

The most popular theory of the origin of the festival is that it was derived from the activities of commemorating a great patriot poet, Qu Yuan. The story about Qu Yuan has been deeply rooted in Chinese culture and this festival, so it is definitely a very important factor for the origin of the festival.

But since some of the well-known traditions of the festival already existed even before Qu Yuan, other origins of the festival were also suggested. Wen Yiduo suggested that the festival may be associated with dragon closely because two of the most important activities of the festival, dragon boat racing and eating zongzi, are related to dragon. Another view is that the festival is originated from the taboo of evil days. The fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is traditionally considered an evil month and the 5th of the month is particularly a bad day, so a lot of taboo had been developed.

Most likely, the festival was gradually derived from all of the suggestions and the story of Qu Yuan is certainly the driving power to make it a great festival today.

Like other Chinese festivals, there is also a legend behind the festival. Qu Yuan served in the court of Emperor Huai during the Warring States (475 - 221 BC). He was a wise and erudite man. His ability and fight against corruption antagonized other court officials. They exerted their evil influence on the Emperor, so the Emperor gradually dismissed Qu Yuan and eventually exiled him. During his exile, Qu Yuan did not give up. He traveled extensively, taught and wrote about his ideas. His works, the Lament (Li Sao), the Nine Chapters (Jiu Zhang), and Wen tian, are masterpieces and invaluable for studying ancient Chinese culture. He saw the gradual decline of his mother country, the Chu State. And when he heard that the Chu State was defeated by the strong Qin State, he was so despaired that he ended his life by flinging himself into the Miluo River.

Legend says after people heard he drowned, they were greatly dismayed. Fishermen raced to the spot in their boats to search for his body. Unable to find his body, people threw zongzi, eggs and other food into the river to feed fish, so hoped to salvage his body. Since then, people started to commemorate Qu Yuan through dragon boat races, eating zongzi and other activities, on the anniversary of his death, the 5th of the fifth month.

Zongzi is the most popular food for the festival. Zongzi is a special kind of dumpling. It is usually made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. Fresh bamboo leaves are the best for the wrapping since the taste and smell of the fresh bamboo leaves is part of zongzi. Unfortunately fresh bamboo leaves are hard to find.

Today you may see zongzi in different shapes and with a variety of fillings. The most popular shapes are triangular and pyramidal. The fillings include dates, meat, yolk of egg, etc. The most popular fillings are dates. The festival is closely associated with zongzi and dragon boat races. More importantly this is also a national patriot festival through commemorating the great patriot poet, Qu Yuan. People are reminded that the importance of loyalty and commitment to the community in the festival.

Lastly I wish all my friends ~~ Happy Belated Dragon Boat Festival ~~

My New Horse

** A present from Grandma **
Ryan like playing with the horse,he will say ' yau yau yau' while riding the horse. The horse has 2 functions : rock like a rocking chair & use leg to ride/move the horse around.

Put on a Tie

Ryan likes to play with new thing..whenever he saw something new in the drawer or table, he will grab & play with it. One day, I took out measuring tape to measure his height...he was curious on the long long thing that I took out from the drawer. After measuring his height, he asked for this measuring tape,then he climbed to the bed & try to think what he could do with this measuring tape.He tried to put on his neck and it seem like he was trying to put on a tie.Of course, he did not know how to do it. He was keep trying n trying....Looking at him so enjoy playing the measuring tape, just let him play for awhile while I was busy taking his pics.
