So have you been notti/nice in year 2008?

Howdy Howdy.... so how you feeling on the last day of 2008? Happy? Sad? Drowsy? Party mood? Sexy? Horny? hahaha.. AND what have you done during the year of rat?

Lemme recap a lil' of what we've been doing in 2008:-

-Not much updating in this blog.

-Tried to eat less but failed..ha! ha!

-Been to many foodie-goodie places.

-Went to Bangkok with Senapang. Had fun eating, enjoyed the MRT ride, enjoyed being led straight-straight and also an eye-opening experience at the bars.

-Still swearing when I talked to some of my friends. e.g Freddie. Cannot talk normal..must add some @##%! and !)#@(!#$ when am chatting with him.

-Itchy butt, got ourselves into marriage plan. Planned for about 10-11months got married and now expired.

-Started baking butter cake and marble cake.

-Baked Almond crisp ..failure project! The cookie was thick ~ shall try again soon.

--Was invited by Deron to attend Sexy RedBabe wedding and Kluang. A memorable wedding and had a good experience being the emcee of the night.

-Itchy mouth argue with Mangkee then my ATM was eaten by the machine~ YES, it's like a curse, everytime after I sound him something stupid will happen to me. Who cares, I still wanna sound him! ha! ha! ha! Cannot blame me lah weh..after marriage, I tend to me more naggy~ no idea why. Perhaps you can tell me? :)

-Finally got the shoes I wanted at 30% off. Bought myself some nice clothes for new year.

-Changed my hairstyle.

-Attended weddings.

-Attended Christmas gathering.

-Mangkee started doing some small business.

-Addicted to Smallville at the moment. Ya, am slow.. Have yet to finish Season 3. :p

-Tried to shed some weight off for Cody but failed. He got fatter instead.

Guess, that's it of my lil' recap for 2008.

Not going anywhere for countdown ... hmm... maybe it's time to test some wine tonight!

TRAVIN WISHES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A HAPPY NEW YEAR

03/12.. Mangkee's 27th & Cody's 3rd

It's the time of the year where Mangkee and Cody celebrated their birthday together. This year we did at home (Subang) with Mom & Dad around. As usual, I gotta chuck out $$$ to buy 2 cakes.. Biasalah, I asked Mangkee the same question every year.. Eh, you want to share cake with Cody or not? I was hoping he will ... you know lah , my pocket burned very kau this month. Mana-tau he said NO! So ok lo... buy 2 cakes! ish...

Mangkee making his long-long birthday wish..tsktsk!


Ang pao from parents and cake cutting ceremony...cheh wah!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK Cody's turn....He seems to know that day was his birthday ( I told him 1 day earlier). And as usual he's been waiting for his cake when he saw Mangkee's....

Bought this from RT Pastry House .. Nice right?
No.. He didn't get to eat the strawberry & Choc.. I ate them~ ahaha

Cody: Teddy, like I told everyone in Facebook..
I swear I'll ask Kakak to mandi everyday if you blow my cake
Teddy: OK OK! Fine!


Cody: Mom, why is my cake smaller each year?

Fried Mee Hoon -kosong-

Wooot? Snake can cook too? haha..yes! surprise surprise.. I've been playing masak-masak for quite sometimes and only have time to blog about it now.

Thanks mom for the recepi! So here's how we cook it~

6) 2-3 tbsp soy sauce;
7) 1 teaspoon salt (own tasting);
8) 1/2 cup of plain water OR 1/2 cup of chicken cube soup;
9) 1 egg.

Cooking method:

1) chopped garlic and shallot. (see picture no. 2)

2) soaked mee hoon for about 15mins. Put it on a plate/bowl when times up.

3) while waiting for the mee hoon, beat the egg add a pinch of salt and dash pepper.
Heat the wok and fried until golden brown; dig up and slice it.

3) heat your wok and put some oil to fried the chopped garlic and shallot until it is golden brown.

4) add in the dark soy sauce, soy sauce; salt and water/chicken cube soup.

Kin No Uma

Last Saturday, we were invited to join Senapang & Frank to check out Kin No Uma at Palace of the Golden Horses Hotel, Sri Kembangan. Its a Japanese restaurant serving buffet. WHY we choose to go? Ha! ha! Because there's a 40% off voucher.. So its about RM55/pax.

1st impression, waaaa so nice ah this hotel. Hello cannot blame me lah, its my 1st time to the hotel. Its beautiful..then we find our way to the restaurant. Called Senapang, he's sitting outside. OK lah no good, he made reservation few days before but his name was not in the list. Well who's fault is it? U tell me :)

This is where we eat. Nice?

Without wasting anytime Mangkee went to take food. I had a lot of tempura prawns cause its fresh and crunchy! YUMMY! I also tried out Sashimi for the 1st time, its good. The cooked food selection is not much and its not really tasty. Cannot grill own Yakitori :( The one they made was too cooked and dry. No shiock!

No, this is not Mangkee. This is Senapang muching his food

YUMMY Tempura! Not the oyster!


Fresh Shashimi & Oysters (picture stolen from Senapang)

Wait a minute... I haven't tell you about the drinks and dessert. Drinks selection not much, coffee so-so only. Dessert wise- lotsa delicious cakes and kuih-muih. Fresh cut fruits. I had a few kiwi. What else? You can make your own ABC (Ais Kacang) and scoop dozens of ice cream. BURPZzz!

Can You Keep A Secret?

Oh hey hi... hello.. Can You Keep A Secret?

Not sure if you fancy reading but I am *at times* ... I've just finished reading this book named Can You Keep A Secret written by Sophie Kinsella. Its about a girl name Emma who met a stranger name Jack Harper on the plane. And she told him everything about herself and the story goes on.. I love the story. Emma has a down-to-earth character although she might be "kan cheong" at times. She's lucky to have Lissy as her best friend and Jack Harper really melt my heart..ha! ha! ha! Cannot blame me OK; which girls doesn't like a guy shower her with her fav. things and arrange for a perfect date!

3 weeks after...

It's been 3 weeks after our wedding. Am happy to be in the Yeow family and certainly hope everything will be good. Errr...YES, you can call Tracy :p feels younger mah .. *blueks*

Everything seems to be back to normal now. hak! hak! hak! Normal means work-eat-sleep-work- lah. What else? Nothing to look forward for and the best part is we actually took approx. 1yr to prepare for the wedding and *blink* it only took 1 day to finish the entire celebration. lolz! Not that I want a long wedding lah hello.. penat tau, but its just *blink* and blank. Hmm, its time to think of something or plan for something...meet up with old buddies? baking? cooking? sewing? gardening?

OK back to the wedding. It was great and everybody had fun. Also felt guilty for not having enough time with families and friends. AND ALSO DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO MUNCH THE WEDDING DINNER! Dengz, I should have ask them to pack whatever is for me and Mangkee. Wasted! lolz... Just gotta look pretty and act innocent.. for those who know me for years haha! they know am not the innocent type especially when am wearing the gown!

Would like to thanked everyone for taking part and attending our wedding. Also thanks to my friends who bring us pretty gifts.

03.09.2008

Our Delivery of Bethrothal Gifts ("GDL") OR you may call it dowry day, was set on 03.09.2008.Both of us took 2 days off apart from the Merdeka public holidays to prepare the necessary. I went back to my parents house few days earlier to kick starts everything. Dad was the excited one when it comes to packing/wrapping. Don't play play OK~my papa has good skill. We prepared 3 baskets in total. 1st basket was done on 31.08.08.

2nd basket & 3rd basket was done 1 night before the GDL. Dad ordered 2 big "fatt gou" which means super big luck to both family and the newly weds. ha! ha! YES " 8 8 8 8 ". I'm lucky cause dad is not only good in wrapping but also good in buying stuff. See the fruits he bought? Very colourful. Mom on the other hand has a very good cooking skill. Yea, my cooking skill is still far behind hers. Hope to inherit her skill someday...Err.... when am not LAZY lah..ha! ha!ha!

Before Mangkee reaches our place, dad went to take the roast pork from market and Mangkee carry it into the house when he reaches. The pork is HUGE! 65kg tau...But not as heavy as me lah. Aisheh.... Mangkee and his aunty reached our place approx 10am and bring along baskets containing lotsa goodies. After the prayer; we return some of the things from the baskets to Mangkee and dad cut the pork (middle part) and return the head and tail to Mangkee's side.
