Home cooked Dinner @ 16.11.2011

Rendang Squid

 

Petai with Dried Shrimp

Sweet & Sour Pig's Trotter

Lotus Root Soup

Since my morning sickness has slowly disappear, now i can start back my usual hobby to cook for the family. I believe by now we all should have eat more healthy home cook food. Over the past few months, we have has enough of outside food for dinner. Eating out is a headache, we need to think of what kind of food to have and going merry go rounds to search for what to eat.

With all my heart, i plan to cook something Carmen and hubby favorite dishes tonight.  Carmen will have her favorite petai, while hubby is a meat lover, he will be enjoying the pig trotter. I am a simple person, i can eat a little bit of this and that to satisfy my hunger pangs. The most important is for them to enjoy my wholesome home cooked food!

An outing with Carmen 11.11.2011

 Lunch at Black Canyon : The couch was too comfy, until Carmen can lie and rest her body on it

 This girl was too busy checking out all the sauces & flavoring available

Carmen having her favourite soup

Carmen will be having Teriyaki Chicken for lunch

 Not forgetting every child's favorite ~ Ice cream for dessert

 This is the Tom Yum Udon i am looking forward

Joyride after lunch before we get back home

I have promised Carmen that i will pick her up from school after half day class today.I plan to bring her for registration at her new school, so called Little MBA, near our neighborhood. This school origins from Singapore and will be teaching in Singapore syllabus. We favour this pre-school even though its a bit expensive compare to the others as the quality is rest assured with strict control govern by a big organization in Singapore. 

I called up the principal and make an appointment with them, but, to my disappointment, their 5 year old class for next year has been fully occupied. The only thing that they can assist is to put us in KIV list. *Sigh* I believe that chances are slim now. I have to look out for other opportunity available now.

Since nothing much we can do today, i bring Carmen to JJ in our neighborhood for a lunch at Black Canyon, as i have been craving to have their Tom Yum soup lately, follow by a shopping spree, ending with her joyride on almost all the machines available in JJ.

Breakfast @ Home 10.11.2011

 Sunshine Egg

Egg Tarts

 Frozen Roti Prata

Frozen Dhall

Carmen always like to have roti canai for breakfast, she has been asking me whether i know how to make roti canai. I told her i know how to make it (i play cheating with her), because i have bought some frozen roti home stored in the fridge. I can prepare for her anytime, and i did bought some frozen dhall to try out too.

So, i decided to make home breakfast today after much persuasion from Carmen. All the above was what we have had for this morning. The food looks nice, but, in fact, i dont really like it myself! I rather go out for breakfast as usual.

Special Homemade Egg Spring Roll 09.11.2011

 The spring roll fillings of yam bean & dried shrimp, nice but a bit salty

 Homemade Egg Spring Roll Skin

 The output : Mini spring roll

After my first bite to taste!

Since nothing to do, i try out to make spring roll for myself at one evening at home! No one has tried it, as i made only a few pieces to try on my own. I try out of scratch.........the taste not bad too, except that it's a bit salty. I think the overall presentation looks good! How do you think?

My niece was born on 3rd Nov 2011

Baby Victoria

I received a call from my mom early morning to tell me about the good news! Congratulations to my brother & my SIL in getting another offspring! I am eagerly waiting for weekend approaching, i want to go back Ipoh to see the newborn baby. I love to see babies. Soon, will be my turn cuddling my own baby, in another 4 months +  time.

5 Months Check Up @ 02.11.2011

 
Today i am having my 5th months check up at hospital again. It's a remarkable day, as i have achieve the halfway pregnancy! Yahoo! There is another 4 months plus to anticipate the arrival of our little one, our third and we called it our last baby.

I always have a feeling that the baby wants to hide the gender. Most women already aware of the gender of their baby at 3-4 months, but mine will be pretty late most of the time. At the gynae consultation room, we waited a few minutes for the baby to open up the crossed leg, and it does, a short moment that my gynaae only managed to have a glimpse of it. He told me that think it is probably a baby girl, but he needs to reconfirm with me in the next visit.

Even though i have been hoping for a baby boy this round, but i have been preparing myself mentally to accept another baby girl if fate doesn't permits. It's my own flesh and blood anyway. I am lucky as i did not get any pressure from hubby and also my in-laws. So, there is nothing to be sad of! Just be positive!

Celebrating Grandpa's 90's Birthday @ 30.10.2011

 My grandparents still a loving couple at their age, envy!

The very traditional Birthday Cake 

Last week I and hubby purposely travel back to Ipoh to celebrate my grandpa birthday dinner. I do not know the actual age of my grandpa, all i know that he is actually more than 90 years old. To my surprise, i only got to know that my grandpa and grandma shared the same birth date, at a different year. Most of the time, they only emphasis on celebrating grandpa birthday, i not sure of any reason behind it.

We attended the dinner, but we have to leave halfway the dinner as Carmen was so sick, she was having terrible stomach pain and vomiting. It's such a waste as we do not have time to catch up with other relatives.We hardly can meet each other at normal times. Earlier that morning we have brought Carmen to clinic, yet still, another round of visit is necessary. *Sigh*
