I don't know ITs name...

Last weekend  (Sunday) was a day for me to rest...meaning I no need to wake up so early. Don't ask me what time I woke up.....(malu to say out).
While cleaning my car porch, I saw this beautiful flowers blossomed. This flower was given by my MIL when I moved to my new house, a year ago.
My MIL bought the seed (look like big onion) from Brastagi wet market, a resort place in Medan during her first time visit to Medan.
Frankly speaking, I am not keen in gardening...so what I am doing everyday is watering this plant and plucking away those dead leaves.

.....too bad these flowers can only last less than a week..don't when it will blossom again.
I don't even know the name of this flower...Who can help me?

Ikan Asam Pedas

Last weekend, while doing the spring cleaning in my kitchen, spotted a pack of Maggi Adam Pedas which I won from Maggi Gawai contest last year..Oh no, gonna expire in a month time, so I better fully utilized it before expiring. I used "Mackerel" for this asam pedas.
This paste can be easily found in the supermarket.
It is a simple dish to prepare. Both me and my hubby love this dish. Since Ryan can't take spicy food, this  dish is out for him.

What do you think...? Delicious tak?


Happy Weekend *-*

What I collected yesterday.....

Two days ago, when I reached home after picking up Ryan from school, a piece of PosLaju slip was placed at my gate. Just wondering who sent me Things.....Never mind, yesteday I went to collect it after sending Ryan off to school.

What I have......a big parcel from Unicharm.

1 cartons of MP innovated diaper with Stripes Pad sheet + 4 packs 80pcs Mamypoko baby wipes

 

Few months back , I played a Facebook game organized by My MamyPoko and I won one of their prize in their Earn Your Stripes Challenge.
Since Ryan is no longer using diapers, no point to keep them at home. Think of selling them off....can earn some quick $$. Not bad oh:)

Banana Muffin

I have some bananas left in my kitchen the other day and think of what should I do with them since they are ripe and we can't finish eating them in a day. Searching for some cake recipes, at last, I got this simple recipe " banana muffin". Since my kitchen has all the ingredients needed...my baking project started soon....
After busying in the kitchen for an hour.....a nice smell come out from the oven........smell good,but how is the taste like. Of course, I hope it taste good too.














Letting them cool before trying it.....Yes, it taste GooD.

After trying my luck in several contests in Facebook....I won some small prizes. Not bad..although they are not big prizes, but I am very happy to receive them.

And the result....

At last..last Wednesday I received Ryan's report book...very satisfied with his result. Ryan got 1st in his class and he received a small pressie from his class teacher.

Yesterday,after having lunch, my MIL brought Ryan to FarLey to see toys. MIL also get a pressie for Ryan,a set of racing track (forget to snap the pix). Ryan was so happy.

Keep it up, Ryan !!! *-*

After been waiting for a month...

Ryan was supposed to receive his report book for his mid-term exam before school holiday. Due to his class teacher was on confinement leave at that point of time, i was dragged till now...and tomorrow is the DAY.
For the exam results, I received them before the school holiday and Ryan scored a good mark except for Maths and Mandarin (90++).

I believe every parents will get kan-cheong on their kids' performance at school and so do I. I did not put much pressure on Ryan. Of course, whatever the teacher has taught at school, he must understand and know how to read and write. Practices is done at home every night except Sunday is his off-day.

I would say....the syllabus was getting tougher and tougher especially for Mandarin. I myself give up in teaching him the Mandarin subject. Being a "banana",it is difficult for me to remember those strokes...Today I learnt, tomorrow I lupa...., So I pass this job to my hubby. He will be Ryan's tuition teacher at home.

Can't wait for tomorrow......

Jurong Bird Park, Singapore

*backdated post*

At last, I have free time to blog about my holiday trip to Jurong Bird Park,Singapore. After having our breakfast,here we were at Jurong Bird Park. Ryan was very excited..he could not wait to see those birds flying here and there and the birds performing some shows.
Since we planned to go to Jurong Bird Park + Zoo, hubby opted for 2 in 1 Park Hoppers Special promo tickets. I would say,those tickets are not cheap at all,but it was worthy to spend on it esp for the kids' knowledge.
After getting the tickets, we started to explore our walk-plan. Since we arrived there early, we managed to catch 2 shows : Kings of the Skies + Birds n Buddies Show.

KING OF THE SKIES

BIRD AND BUDDIES SHOW

As we walked around, we spotted different types of birds ..... have a quick look at those pictures...

For the special Programmes,of course, additional charges are applicable for adult and child at different rates.
Since it was also school holiday in Singapore, we spotted a big group of children from different schools in Singapore engaging fun activities at the Bird Park. So fun....!!

While walking around, we spotted a nice waterfall...we stopped by to snap a pix.

 Here is the mini playground inside the Jurong Bird Park...Ryan was having fun playing with the slide...

 Here is the last stop we dropped by : Penguin Coast

Although we all felt tired walking around the Jurong Bird Park.....but we  felt happy esp our little boy Ryan.

A visit to Marina Bay Sands

 During our visit to Singapore on 31 May 2012, we stopped by Marina Bay Sands  at night after walking around Orchard Road in the day time.
It was our first time to Marina Bay Sands, we took the train from Somerset MRT and stopped at BayFront MRT. Pretty convenience..with MRT service at every corner in Singapore, we can travel freely from east to west to north to south.

It was a big shopping mall and lots of branded good shop at this mall.

Since it was dinner time, we quickly have our simple dinner. We did not aim for the restaurant,very pricey. So we just opted for food court and we were having hard time finding the food court...I tried to find the information counter,but not avail. After walking around for 20 mins....at last, my eyes caught this grand foodcourt "Rasapura Masters". This foodcourt offered variety of foods from Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and China.

 For Ryan, he  opted for noodles, so  I order "Kolo Mee" for him. Sorry no pic for the Kolo Mee...ryan was too hungry and I forgot to capture the pix.
As for me and hubby, we ordered Mee Siam and Mee Rebus,....taste delicious and bit spicy....Good!!!

Mee Siam

Mee Rebus

Rasapura Master Foodcourt

Skating rink

But I would say, the food there were pricey. Most of the food cost SG$7 above (without drinks).
Next to the foodcourt is a skating rink...quite big space and lot of peoples are playing ice skating.

We did not go to the Sands SkyPark,it was not cheap either...From there, you can view a spectacular views of Singapore. For detailsof Sands SkyPark, hop here.

Another entertainment is Sampan Rides  along the canal at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Ticket price : SG$10 per person (Kids and Adults).

 At first, our intention to Marina Bay Sands was to watch "WonderFull", Southeast Asia's largest light and water show,but we just could not find the way to the exact location and we have run out of time. Here is the show detail:
Wonder Full is shown nightly, weather permitting. Duration is 15 minutes.
Sunday-Thursday:
8pm, 9:30pm
Friday, Saturday:
8pm, 9:30pm, 11pm  


Then we walked out from the mall... The NightView of Singapore....
