Winter Solstice, 冬至

冬至, Winter Solstice Festival - a big day for the Chinese to get together, making and eating of tangyuan, 汤圆.

This is one of Jane's favourite traditional Chinese dessert and she used to make them with ama when she was young.
This year, she insists to try on her own. She started with the simplest type, unfilled tangyuan served with a sweet broth. She has Michy to help her to roll the dough into small balls. I can see these 2 young pretty ladies were having fun.
She also cooked chicken rice without taking my help. I was so impressed the way she and Michy cut the apples, cucumber, onions and chillies for the salad. The best part is that they did not mess up the kitchen. The kitchen is kept so clean after the cooking except an unexpected accident caused by me, this "lao tai po" =p
Oooopsss.....I m sorry.....
Let's see the food....
The tangyuan are too big and tasteless, but it's a very good start, good try...
The chicken rice, the chicken, the salad....emm..... yummy!!!
O.o, we forgot to take pics of the rice and the salad, not very keen in taking photos....

Rich, the food she cooked may not turn out as well, but she has spent the whole morning in it with love and passion. She told me that you have been working very hard in shop, must give you some home-cooked food rather than all the time eating cheap stuff. "Sayang" you oh!!!
Both of you are still young. Keep learning of whatever is part of growing up.
May you have sweet memories of growing up together....
Love u 2....

My Office PC is DEAD!!!

Yesh! My office pc is dead.
I was doing material reservation. Half way through, the power was suddenly switched off by itself...... no noises, no lights.....nothing, completely silent, completely dead.
My pc must have worked too hard until it got heart attack. It's high time to take a rest. Not only the pc, the person who is using it every day - ME!!!
I don't want to end my life just like that!
I still have a lot of things in my mind yet to be done.
I need a rest.
For those who read this blog, don't be surprised why I still can write blog. I am using my princess's network, hahaha.....

Dumb Bitch!!!!!

I'd inherited an incredibly stupid but at the same time was really stubborn subordinate in my workplace.
He is so confused and dumb, beyond salvation. Needs spoon feeding and reassurance all the time and yet can't get the simplest job done.
Why do I need an assistant in the first place if I myself am solving all the problems delegated to him?
Just a 3 days 2 nights travelling - doing the simplest delivery of stock ..........arrhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
How much problems he has created for me to settle already? I can't even have a peaceful talk with the doctor in the clinic. Forget about the MC, I don't think I can have a good rest.
I thought today he will come back safe and sound so that I can have a peaceful weekend. Oh no!!! Something happen again.............
Sigh...... you dumb bitch!!! You have made my life very difficult at the workplace. It's been such a stressful time even since I accepted you to work under me. I get fed up and tired of solving your problems over and over again. You are an adult and a father of three, you should know how to handle your problems without using up all my time. Do you know that I feel so annoyed and unlucky having to deal with all those kind of things?
@#$%^*+*^>

Puzzle???

I am feeling tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally.......really tired.
Its not easy to maintain positive relationships with my siblings though I have been trying real hard. Why? Just because they have better life and can never put themselves in my shoes?
Tensions.....we can no longer communicate nicely. More often our conversations will end up with a fight. But do you know that behind every fight there is a reason? Why are all the arrows pointing at me only? Because I am the youngest? I can't even defend myself when I am being penalised. I am rebellious when I stand out for my rights.
Feelings are hurt............ my heart aches...........
All of a sudden, I think of you, mama.
Mama, I miss you very much.
You are the only one that I can have heart to heart talk. You are using your tough life experiences to understand my problems. You are a truly honest caring mama.
Talk to me, answer me....... I beg you, mama........or just open your eyes and look at me, that will be enough.
I don't have energy to stand any longer, I am falling........

Proud of You, Ah Liang!!!

My boy Ah Liang, the Corporal of BB Boys organised a 2 days 1 night fun camp in Lundu over the weekend for around 30 people.

He took charge and arranged the whole thing including preparing food for all the officers and juniors who joined in the camp.

After coming back from the camp, he started to help me with preparing dinner every evening. I am very glad that Ah Liang is starting to take interest and responsibility with food.
Thank you Liang for preparing all the home-cooked food. They are simple but nice to eat. I also can relax my mind from tiring and hectic schedule in cooking food everyday after coming back from work. One thing very important to me is the hidden love and affection behind the food that you cooked.
I feel very proud to have you as my son.

You are a good son and an excellent cook! Hey, fit and good looking some more. Cool especially when girls read your wall messages in face book ha. (Tell you all a secret, one of his friends asked him to publish some cool and emotional phrases to suspend girls......O.o, I once thought it was true.....^.^)

Anyone? Want to try his cooking? I'll send him round to you if you want, hahaha......

Who ever marries him in future, "chap tou" wor..... who will be that lucky girl is yet to see!!!

Here are some of the food that he cooked......
Look healthy, colourful and nice to eat......
