LOOKING FORWARD TO CNY

CHINESE NEW YEAR IS ON THE 26TH JANUARY 2009. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY.

IT HAVE BEEN A BUSY WEEKEND LAST WEEK. SATURDAY IS MY DAY OFF, AND WE HAD OUR REUNION DINNER WITH MY PARENTS ON SATURDAY.

THIS YEAR, I BAKED COOKIES MYSELF. I STARTED BAKING SUGI COOKIES, PEANUT COOKIES, KUEH BANGKIT AND DID THE CHOCOLATE COATED CORNFLAKE ON SATURDAY BEFORE GOING TO MUM'S PLACE. EVERYONE LIKE THE PEANUT COOKIES SO MUCH. MUM AND JAC ORDERED MORE COS WE OPENED JAC'S PORTION TO TRY.

ON SUNDAY, I WOKE UP ABOUT 7PLUS AND STAY MY DAY OF BAKING. I BAKED THE SUGI COOKIES AGAIN, PEANUT COOKIES, ALMOND COOKIES, DID 2 TYPE OF PINEAPPLE TARTS AND LASTLY MELTING MOMENT COOKIES AND THE BAKING SESSION ENDED ABOUT 9PLUS AT NIGHT.

THAT WAS REALLY REALLY TIRING. MY WHOLE BODY WAS DAMN TIRED ON MONDAY, BUT I'M STILL VERY HAPPY AND SATISFY WITH THE PRODUCTS THAT I BAKED EXCEPT FOR KUEH BANGKIT. THAT'S WAS A FAILURE.

THE CNY GOODIES THAT WE HAVE THIS YEAR





CHOCOLATE COATED CORNFLAKE





KUEH BANGKIT





PEANUT COOKIES





ALMOND COOKIES

MELTING MOMENTS

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE.

A BRAND NEW YEAR - 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

HAD BEEN BUSY THIS WEEK. ON NYE, EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE LEFT AT 4PM BUT I HAD TO FINISH ALL MY WORK, SO LEFT AT 6.30PM. WE DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE FOR COUNTDOWN BUT STAY AT HOME. I THINK IT'S MY WORST NYE THAT I EVER SPENT, BUT ALSO A HAPPY ONE. AT LEAST I KNOW MY HUBBY STILL CARE FOR ME. HEEHEE.... I DID SOMETHING VERY DRAMATICS.... BE A RUN AWAY WIFE ON NEW YEAR.

YESTERDAY WAS A TIRING DAY COS WE PACKED MY ROOMS. REALLY SPEND THE WHOLE DAY CLEANING HERE AND THERE, REPAIRING THE DRAWINGS ETC...

THESE ARE ALL THE UNWANTED SOFT TOYS AND CLOTHES THAT ARE FROM MY ROOM TO BE GIVEN TO SALVATION ARMY.


YESTERDAY, I BAKED A MILK BREAD. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT FRESH MILK, BUT THEN I REALISED THE MILK I BOUGHT IS BANANA MILK. SO WITH NO CHOOSE, I ADDED THE BANANA MILK. THE RESULT CAME OUT TO BE PERFECT. THE BREAD SMELL OF BANANA AND IT'S SOFT TOO.

MY BANANA MILK BREAD. I DID IT IN THE BAKING TIN AND ROUND SHAPE.

YESTERDAY, MY MOTHER IN-LAW WENT TO MALAYSIA AND BOUGHT THIS MILK. CHARCOAL BREAD.

THE CHARCOAL BREAD


INGREDIENT SHOWS THERE IS CHARCOAL.


SO MANY BREAD TODAY.

HARI RAYA HAJI

TODAY IS HARI RAYA HAJI.

THIS MORNING, I HAD THE OREO CHEESECAKE THAT I MADE YESTERDAY FOR BREAKFAST. WAH, IT'S MUCH MORE BETTER THAT THE LEMON CHEESECAKE WHICH I MADE EARILER. THE CHEESE'S TEXTURE WAS SOFTER AND IT'S ALSO MUCH MORE TASTIER.




[CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW I MADE THE CHEESECAKE]

TONIGHT XRYSTAL WILL BE COMING BACK. NANTUN ALSO WENT OUT TODAY FOR HER OFF DAY.

LEFT XANDER, BEN AND ME. WE DECIDE TO GO TO TAKASHIMAYA COS THERE'S A POOH BEAR AND FRIENDS PHOTO-TAKING SECTION THERE.

IT'S A GOOD BUY AT TAKASHIMAYA TODAY. I BOUGHT A 'STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE' LUNCH BOX FOR MYSELF, 2 FOR XRYSTAL AND 1 'THOMSON AND FRIEND' LUNCH BOX FOR XANDER. THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE'S LUNCH BOX ARE WORTH BUYING COS THEY COST $3/- EACH. THE THOMAS AND FRIEND LUNCH BOX COST ABOUT $6PLUS. BEN BOUGHT TRANSFORMER TOY. HE SAYS THAT'S FOR XANDER TO PLAY BUT I SAY IT'S FOR HIM TO PLAY RATHER THAN FOR XANDER. ANYWAY, THAT'S ALSO WORTH COS THE ORIGINAL PRICE IS $50 AND WE ONLY PAID $40 AND MOREOVER, THERE ARE 2 TOYS INSIDE THE BOX. BEN ALSO BOUGHT SOME STICKER-MAKER FOR XRYSTAL FOR X'MAS PRESENT.

I DID NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT I BOUGHT COS EVERYTHING ARE NOW UNDER THE X'MAS TREE.


BEN WAS TIRED AND WE WENT HOME. BEFORE GOING TO THE CARPARK @ LIDO, WE WENT TO ISETAN TO BUY A WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN AND LETTUCE. WE REACHED HOME ABOUT 5PLUS AND I DID OUR DINNER.

THIS IS XANDER'S DINNER


THIS IS MY DINNER


THIS IS BEN'S DINNER


I MADE THE RICE BURGER FOR ME AND BEN. THE RICE IS THE CHICKEN RICE WHICH ARE LEFTOVER FROM SATURDAY DINNER. I GAVE XANDER THE BUTTER BUN INSTEAD COS WE DON'T WANT HIM TO HAVE LEFTOVER FOOD.

IT'S REALLY FEELS GOOD HAVING A NICE AND BEAUTIFUL DINNER.

LOVE LINDSAY

I'M SO HAPPY. NEXT WEEK, BOSS AND CAROL COMING BACK. AT LEAST I'LL NOT FEEL STRESS.

XRYTSAL GOES TO PENANG TODAY WITH MY MOTHER IN-LAW, SISTER AND BROTHER IN-LAW AND ALSO THEIR COUSINS. THEY LEFT EARLY IN THE MORNING AT ABOUT 3AM.

AFTER WORK, I MET UP WITH MY SIS AND BRO IN-LAW AT PLAZA SINGAPURA. NANTUN BROUGHT XANDER TO MEET ME AT THE MRT STATION. WE WENT TO DAISO AND CARREFOUR TO BUY INGREDIENTS FOR BAKING THE CHEESECAKE.

WE REACHED HOME AT 6PM AND WE DECIDED TO MAKE BENTO FOR DINNER. WE SPENT ABOUT 1 AND HALF HOURS TO COMPLETE OUR FIRST BENTO FOR XANDER COS HE'S VERY HUNGRY.
[please click here to see the bento that we have made for dinner]

IT'S REALLY FUN DECORATING OUR DINNER.

OH, MY CHEESECAKE IS BAKED, BUT HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN, 30MINS IN THE OVEN AFTER SWITCH OFF. AND IT'S NOW 11.15PM. AND AFTER 30MINS, NEED TO TAKE OUT AND COOL BEFORE I CAN PUT INTO THE FRIDGE TO CHILLED. WAH, LOOK!! I TOOK THE PIX OF THE CHEESECAKE AFTER BAKED. NOW RESTING INSIDE THE OVEN.

LUCKILY, TONIGHT HAVE GOLDEN HORSE AWARD, SO I WILL BE WATCHING WHILE WAITING FOR MY CHEESECAKE. JAC, U HAVE 口福 TOMORROW.

What I have today.

Today, out of the happen, I have craving for "Peng Kueh" or Peach-Shape Kueh.

We reached home after shopping at Tampines Giant about 4pm. Nantun start preparing the ingredients and also the dinner - Chicken Rice. We like to eat chicken rice. I think the last time we had the chicken rice is about 2 weeks ago.

**********************************

YESTERDAY, WENT TO MY MUM'S PLACE AFTER WORK. I DECIDED TO MAKE KUEH LAPIS.

IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE KUEH LAPIS. TOO MANY PROCEDURES AND ALOT OF TIME ARE SPENT. NO WONDER BENGAWASOLO SELL THE KUEH LAPIS SO EXPENSIVE.

BUT FINALLY RESULT IS REALLY GOOD. THE KUEH LAPIS REALLY IS DAMN YUMMY.

ON FRIDAY, I ALSO TRIED THE CHILLED OREO CHEESECAKE. IT DID NOT TURN OUT AS WHAT I EXPECTED. BUT STILL CAN BE EATEN, LIKE ICE-CREAM. THIS CHEESECAKE DO NOT REQUIRED ANY BAKING.



NEXT SATURDAY, I WILL TRY OUT THE NEW YORK CHEESECAKE. HOPEFULLY IT WILL TURN OUT NICE AND DELICIOUS.
