CARING IS NOT ONLY SHARING....

My Second Try With Cranberries!

2009-11-14T19:15:00.005+08:00

Baking time!!

Since Andy was such a good boy last night, yours truly decided to make him some special cookies again... LOL.. Actually not special la.. this time though, instead of choc chips, I put cranberries plus walnuts, healthier and of course, more expensive as well....

Elin is right, butter plays an important role.... I use Tatura butter this time and the aroma filled up the house the minute the cookies started to warm up....

guess who's cutting the cranberries and the walnuts....
having a girl in the family is not bad after all!

while she was at that, I did this....

then folded in the flour and alllllll...
so much "extras"...i love it!

this time my girl patiently rolled them up...

gave some to my mum to try..
she said..."hmmm.. hoe heong ah.."
(it tastes good)
thanks to Elin for her idea of cranberries...

(I will post up the recipe in Let's Wallop soon!
perhaps tonight after church... :p )

Cook Or Blog = Cooking Blog

2009-11-14T15:34:00.007+08:00

I slept around 1am this morning but before I did, I told Andy to do some "refreshing" for me since he is a "night owl." (he sleeps during the day and stays up at night, goodness knows what!) Anyway, to my amazement, when I logged in this morning, there was indeed 3 posts for me to write for, thanks to Andy for being my night owl.

Woke up at 8am and had buffet breakfast in Excelsior Hotel, courtesy from a friend who didn't want to take breakfast there cos she wanted IPOH food instead of hotel food. After my breakfast and marketing, I shot off home and did some biscuits baking. Wanted to finish baking them before 1pm cos of the Badminton Live. Sitting down watching the game and blogging same time, blissful or not?... yeahhhh, sure is...

Now... the problem is, what's for dinner??? Should I continue sitting here or should I cook?

(love this pic I got from Lynette)

Migration Plans

2009-11-14T09:23:00.005+08:00

My sister had just renovated her house in Sacramento and has been sending us pictures of her "almost new house." We were truly attracted to the place where she is staying, with a big ranch and all, just like what I have seen in the some movies. She has been pestering us to go and visit her, in fact my mum has been there few times but I have not. My plan to go is still on, I will go, I shall go, most probably next year? But I told her if and when I go, I will get ready some plans to "uproot" myself, I have thought of migrating but the process will be quite complicated. Anyway, no harm trying, perhaps I better find out how to go about it, maybe invest in some property or some business ventures, they might hasten things up. With all these procedures, one need to have a good and established financial assistance, and in such case, Las Vegas CPA is one of the established certified public accountants to look out for.

Nearly Died But Rose Again..

2009-11-13T21:00:00.002+08:00

I felt a lump at my arm, suddenly the lump turned out to be an embedded NAIL as long as 2 inches in my arm. Another sudden moment, the nail reached to my tongue and forced itself through under the tongue.... blood spurted out endlessly, the doctor put a cotton wool to stop the bleeding but the blood just flew out, splattering everywhere, the doctor ran away, I put my head lower to stop the spluttering blood but instead I was choking myself to death. I looked up to the ceiling, "God, am I dy...ing? Help meeee??" and the ceiling looked blurred and blur-er... and I wanted to close my eyes ...

NO!!! I woke up with a start!! MY GOSH.. That was my dream this early morning... I really felt that, the choking, the blood all over my mouth, kept spluttering all over... GOSH!!! It was so frightening and REAL!!! Is death really like this??

It was 6am.. I couldn't continue sleeping, I woke up and switched on the computer...

Back to reality, this afternoon I took my girl for her braces "monthly service" and impromptu, I landed myself on the dentist's chair as well. I landed there for nearly half an hour, the dentist had "fun" doing all the spring cleaning in my mouth, all the water spluttering here and there, blood seeped out, my teeth felt all the tremor... URGGGHHH!!!

Just this evening while I was showering, I was thinking "HEY! Maybe my dream has something to do with the dentist! " Actually, I have forgotten all about my girl's appointment until lunch time, going for scaling was absolutely not in my mind too! It was an impromptu act on my part, doing scaling, that is. It was very "geli" so "pei"... drilling every tooth of mine from plaque and tartar and goodness knows what else!! YUCKS!!!

(only consolation now is that i can show off my teeth, now cleaner & more shining... *ting*)

Used Cars

2009-11-13T20:39:00.004+08:00

One of my best trips so far was the time when I went to Toronto, I was there for nearly a month and I can say, it has been the most memorable trip for me. I love the awesome sights of Niagara Falls, day and night, they are simply overwhelming me.. I cannot find a word to describe this one of the seven wonders in the world. God's creation is simply awesome!

During my stay there, I have to thank my childhood friend who had taken time off her work to accompany me for sight seeing. So nice of her, she is staying in Toronto and she drove me around with her MPV. Though it was quite small but it was very comfortable, I asked her where she got it from, she said there were a lot of Used Cars companies around Toronto and Ottawa. They can get cheap used cars Toronto anytime on the website. All you have to do is to just type in your favorite car model and they will oblige you with all the details. Not only in Toronto, they also have used cars Ottawa online as well. They are just very convenient, just by clicking, you can get what you would love to have. Oh, if I am given an opportunity, I would love to visit Canada once again, especially the Niagara Falls and Ottawa.

Thank U For The Simple Meal...

2009-11-12T23:54:00.001+08:00

I didn't cook this evening, too lazy and tired after working almost non stop in the office. Work left unfinished, I couldn't be bothered.... not like those days anymore, time changes... hands and legs are at slower pace now (sau kwok man chor)

Andy called home to say that he had a dinner appointment with his old classmates. That was fine with me, so I thought of going out to get some food for me and Fernie.... and then suddenly at 7pm, it started to rain like dogs and cats followed by loud thunder. Someone opened the gate, haiyah, Andy came back, said appointment cancelled ... OH DEAR, no dinner la, son...

He said "Never mind, let's eat the korean noodles, I'll cook." ~~wow... I feel very song~~

That was the best thing I heard today... phew... I am so relieved!! All I got to do is wait .... hmmm.....

this is the korean mee noodles...

ta..daaa... my bowl of mee
though it is NO shark fins soup or abalone,
I have a great time scooping up these noodles!
hhmmm... I am Famished!

(see, this mother is very easily pleased)

To Choose A Web Host

2009-11-12T23:42:00.004+08:00

Ever since I started blogging, my son has been encouraging me to have my own domain, having seen me engrossed in my blog and posting up pictures almost daily without fail. Well, finally now I have my own domain, he told me to get a good web hosting site so that my blog will look more "professional-like". I really don't know how to go about it, I am more or less illiterate when it comes to webhosting and I need some help from my friend, Ken as well.

Anyway, I hope to get more information on this web hosting thingy. From what I read here in this upperhost.com , they have a free research guide to help us users to choose the right web host for our blogs, whether it is personal or business website. For those who wants to choose the best webhosting site to suit your needs, you will definitely get your choice here because they have a wide selection where you can choose from, they are based on affordability, reliability, uptime and even tech support is available on the site here itself.

Well, meanwhile, I better start to do my own research and get more suggestions from my son before I get committed into this web hosting thingy. :)

Northam Beach Cafe

2009-11-11T18:49:00.008+08:00

Okay, time to sway away from the previous post, (Eugene, sorry, this post was "unintentionally" later than normal), at his request's I better change the subject... he is feeling quite uncomfortable about being "lengchai" and "young-looking"... ok, ok... I stop here, boy...

From my lunch in Lets Wallop blog, we went to Northam Beach Cafe for our dinner. My second time there but first time for my siblings. My sister was escastic about the food there, she simply loves western food and she ended up ordering this and that... till she could stomach no more... but she was adamant about going there again on her next trip, ie end of this month.

The ambience there is so different, nothing like IPOH... we can feel the natural breeze of the seawater (no smelly smell)... the scenery during the evening was somehow "romantic"... LOL... and it is so near to the Gurney Hotel where we stayed...

see... just next to the sea....

can see the "sampans" boats...

the evening sunset...

it was quite empty when we arrived..

but we loved it... peaceful and nice..

i "fell in love" with this french dessert
something called "crepe"
RM4.80

i love this "crepe" too
with banana & apple fillings
RM4.80

nyonya seafood noodles
RM6.50

this is called "kau chee" dumplings
(emperors used to have this for supper, true?)

my girl had this "german sausage" meal
RM9.00

Shanghai meat pancake
RM4.00

Japanese patties...

I didnt manage to snap all the food we ordered..
the mua chee was the most "wasted"
we left the whole packet on the table
forgot to take back... sigh...
maybe our stomachs too satisfied
that we overlooked it!

Anyway, we will definitely come again...

Oh, There He Is!!

2009-11-10T17:25:00.004+08:00

Yes, I made an impromptu trip to Penang, reasons known to some of you here... no, no, not just to meet up Eugene (his wife will knock my head!) This time intended to meet up Eugene so that he will not say I "tarik harga"... (no offence, Eug) and secondly, to satisfy my curiosity cos these two persons saying he is a Cool Guy, as confirmed by STP and my son, Andy.

Wanted to give him a surprise so I sms-ed him last minute, ie. only when I reached the hotel. After checking in, I called him (he called me earlier but i missed that)... and after some small talk, his next question tickled me much.... (Eugene, take this lightly, ok?) He asked, "Which room number are u in?" aaahahhhhhhh... I must have laughed very loud, (yeah, very bad of me, hor..)... "Hey, no need to come to room, I meet u at the hotel lobby la!"

(Eugene, not making fun of u la.. just that your question caught me off guarded, I know u wanted to call me from the lobby when u reached the hotel, right? thus the room number... heheeeee)

True enough, after 20 minutes or so, he arrived, I went down to meet him. Recognised him straightaway... First look, I was thinking,"wah, eugene not only cool man, leng chai also and so so so young looking! U know what, my girl who came down with me, asked me how old he is, I told her, he is in his 40s... then she told me that he looked like 30s only... WAH!! ..Eugene... how right she is! You look younger than your pictures...

Ok, here are three we took.... no editing whatsoever... i prefer the blur-ness cos someone overshadowed me.. at least my teeth can be seen.. enough la..

first pic.. me not ready...

2nd pic, my wrinkles.. i should hv touched up
this leng chai must have done some"powdering" earlier

ah, the clearer version
... the cheh cheh and the sai loe...
(big sister versus the younger brother)

And The Winner Is....

2009-11-09T18:26:00.000+08:00

Not only that, I am going to reveal the best chee cheong fun in IPOH town... (my own view, of course)....

What's Yours?

2009-11-08T14:25:00.011+08:00

A beautiful and sunny Sunday awaits me as I woke up at 9.15am... how blissful... Thank You, God for another blessed day!!

After a tedious week of work and no Internet connection plus some bad news in office, this weekend is just what I longed for....

Having done all that is needed to be done for the house, I am now relaxing myself in front of this monitor for the past hour or so... hopping here and there, no matter far or near, I can hop hop just by a click... no matter where you all are, I ~~am stalking~~ can come to read yours.... :p

Suddenly I have an idea. We are facing this square box each day.... what special picture do you display on your desktop monitor? At this moment, I am using my son's laptop, he puts this picture on his desktop... I guess this picture says it all....

We R A Family!

How about you?
What picture do u display on yours?
Can you show it in your next post?
Let us visit one another to *8*
(that no. 8 implicates me only, don't worry :p )

Work Less, Relax More...

2009-11-07T19:16:00.008+08:00

Stress... don't take this lightly... don't get stressed up with work... don't be too over anxious over unfinished work... just don't think of work too much ....

Yesterday morning just when I reached the office lift, bad news were given by a colleague. Our deputy director passed away early in the morning while doing his morning prayers. Just like that.. he collapsed and died... why? He was only 53 years old and I just had a meeting with him last Wednesday and I posted about it here.

Stress, his wife said. He was very stressed up with work, he had so many meetings to attend, so many meetings he had to chair, he had to know so much about this and that... and overall all this, he died because of stress leading to heart failure. He was a very nice man, obliging to us all.

So... yesterday while I was working my head out in the office, I told myself, don't hurry, slow down.... I have a very bad habit, I don't like to see work on my table pending for the next day, I tried to finish it all for the day.... that is not good...

So from today onwards.... I will remind myself this... WORK WILL HAVE TO WAIT !

Good Investment

2009-11-07T17:09:00.004+08:00

Due to the rampant of robberies happening in my town lately, many of us have resorted to opening safety deposit boxes to keep our jewelries and other valuable documents. Over breakfast the other morning, my friends and I were discussing about the safety measure of how to take precaution during the day and night. Putting our valuables away in the bank is a good measure and installing alarm is another suggestion for our own safety at home.
One of the reason why robberies are rampant nowadays is due to the gold price which has gone up tremendously! Their main target is gold and cash. When my friend told me that the gold price has gone up 4 times more than the price that I bough many years ago, I was really stunted! Never did I expect it to go up so sky high, if I had followed the commodity news, I would have find ways to invest in gold rather than putting in the bank. Guess this is the time to pay more attention to the Monex.

Say Cheese!!!

2009-11-06T22:50:00.000+08:00

Andy is back for almost a week and he has been eating heartily.. ~~ask him if u dont believe me~~ He told me one night that he will gain weight in no time. Well, nothing to worry about since he has lost so much weight since he started college in May this year. As mums, we love to feed our kids, right?

Plump, plump means healthy and wealthy... oooppss.. sorry, don't take this statement seriously, it is very backdated already. Just eat healthily...but eating healthily is one thing, once awhile, it is okay to indulge in this "irresistable" dessert such as this...

specially presented by Elin..

Upon my request, she baked this for us...

BAKED CHEESE CAKE!!!
Andy's request has been granted..

as for me, I only "nibbled" two slices.. LOL...

how can I resist dessert such as this???

ok, time for aerobicS!!
one, two, three, four..
LET'S DO IT!!

My Pigmentated Hand

2009-11-06T22:42:00.004+08:00

I received a call from my regular facial saloon this evening, she reminded me that it is time for my facial treatment again. Oh yeah, I nearly forgotten about that, now that I am in my mid forties (secret revealed!), I have to take good care of my face. In fact I should have started taking good care of my face when I was young. But due to "poverty" during my younger days, it was not possible at all till I started working and earning my own income.

It might not be too late if I were to take care of my skin now, it might help to go for some treatments, applying and using the right cleanser, toner, moisturiser and of course, the Best Sunblock one can find in the market. What makes a best sunblock lotion? My sister once told me that SPF 15 is definitely not enough for tropical countries such as here where I am staying. At least I need a SPF25 or 30 sunblock cream for my face and body. Why do I need sunblock? Well, ask any lady, do they fear wrinkles, especially around their eyes and lips when they smile or laugh? The answer will definitely be YES....

This evening before I blog this, I have a good look at my hand and I couldn't help snapping one picture here to display my pigmentation. Yes, I did not take good care of my hands when I was younger, I didn't apply sunblock on them and see what the consequences now. So, for younger ladies, do not wait, apply some sunblock before you go out in the sun. We cannot be hiding from the sun forever so all we need to do is to protect our skin from further damage. :)

My Gift From FoongPc

2009-11-05T20:12:00.009+08:00

When I reached home from office, I was surprised to see a brown package on my table. For a moment, I couldn't recall what it might be, but after reading my name on the package, a blogger by the name of FoongPc came into my mind... I am sure by now, many of us here knows who FoongPC is, am I right? He is one great blogger who blogs endlessly about his trips lately, his adventures as a backpacker. His latest random post made me laughed... ladies, gentlemen, go read this post... u might be the one he is looking for!! LOL....

Ok back to this topic, I wanna thank you, FoongPC (if u r reading this) for allowing me to win this great RA+d tshirt. (first time in history I won, very big issue already!) I guess u allow me to win cos this is really my size..LOL...

Some of you may agree with me that FoongPC is a generous guy, I remember when he came back from Guilin, (if i m not mistaken), he handed out some souvenirs to his fellow bloggers as well, (Tekkaus, I love the mini mahjong u chose! LOL...

Once again, FoongPc, thanks for your gift!

a personal note
signed with a smiley..

My COOL "I heart KL" shirt!

oh, see the specs on the bed?
while arranging the tshirt,
i saw my girl's specs on the bed
a bad habit of hers..

she will "receive" a scolding from me soon!
(maybe she is hinting for a new pair... )

Better Safe or Never?

2009-11-05T19:42:00.004+08:00

Robberies are very rampant nowadays, in fact, most towns are affected by these crimes. The thugs are getting braver, they can just go in and rob even in broad daylight. During my younger days, I stay in a town shophouse. Those days, shops are widely opened, anyone can go in and out without fear. But nowadays, things have changed. Shop owners are getting "paranoid" of the rampant robberies and most of the shops are locked from inside, it is like becoming prisoners in your own shop. During the day, they can watch out but at night, a ADT Home Security is needed.
I am still contemplating whether to get a home alarm for my own house or not. Most probably I will be installing one, at least we can sleep with a peace of mind. How wonderful the world is if there is no fear of going in and out of your own home, how wonderful it will be if we can be safe wherever we are. Now as it is, friends whom I know are considering installing an ADT Security in their own houses and shops. They said, "better safe or never" same as in "better late or never."

No Internet 'n' No Interncourse

2009-11-04T19:11:00.010+08:00

Woke up at 7.30am, getting myself ready to go straight to an IT department for an one-day "Open Office" computer course.

At 8am sharp, my handphone rang, my colleague's name blinked... I answered and she asked me to hold on.. another voice took over and since it was unfamiliar, I asked, "Siapa ni?" (who is this?) "So-n-so here...." (chey.. it was my superior)

"Come back to the office, you have to go for a meeting at 11am." But I retaliated saying I was supposed to go for the course. What she answered turned me off.. "If you go for the course, then you come back at 11am.... " HUH??? Go for 3 hours and excused myself? Where got meaning? The course is supposed to be whole day!

Giving me no choice, still fuming and biting my lips (exaggerated), I told her OK, OK.. I'm coming to office now! So sui... shouldn't have answered the call...

Reaching office at 8.15am, she smiled at me when I entered... "kan siew".. . my heart was still fuming, thinking why she must spoilt my day, can't she call another person to go for the meeting meh... after all, mainly not my scope of work... (har tak yau har, bullying me...huhuhu....)

11.30am... yours truly ended up writing minutes in the meeting, mind wandered away, yawning at times... cheeees.. cannot blog hop too cos no Internet connection ...... what an awful day!

Blog Hop

2009-11-04T19:01:00.004+08:00

Each day I never miss visiting blogs, especially those in my list, I love to hop over to see/read what they write and will leave a comment whenever possible. This has been my daily routine, working or at home, if the Internet permits me to do so, blogging has become one of my passions since a year ago. If not for my son who taught and create this template, I think I would still be complaining that time passed so slow... But now it is different, time really flies... so much to do and so little time... I am sure many of you agree with me, right? Ok, time to go blog hop again, wanna join me to this Fail Blog?

The Old And The New....

2009-11-03T19:23:00.007+08:00

Aaron left his laptop behind for yours truly here to utilize, since the day he did his internship in July. Well, I am of course, ecstatic about it, at least no more "fighting" and hassling with my Girlie over the computer. So now each of us have a laptop and a desktop to use whenever we want, no more negotiating over time factor too!

So normally I like to sit back in my own room, the laptop on my bed and a chair to sit on beside it. But lately I have been suffering backpain.... was it due to this chair??? LOL... It looks disastrous, right? Hey, don't ask me to throw it away, this one sentimental value chor.... it has been with me since I was born leh... and how many years was that... secret, secret... :)

an antique already..
all I did was to put some cushions on and behind it..
sayang to throw it away
Hospital fees will cost RM30...
But I will do it one day...

hey, see what I bought 2 days ago...
cute or not?
Now my bumps will be more comfortable
While the old one goes to "hospital",
this new one will do for now...
Cost me RM47!!

Flashing My Business Card

2009-11-03T19:02:00.003+08:00

Yesterday I met up with an old schoolmate of mine at the badminton court and she asked me whether I was interested to go for a reunion party or not. I was told that many of them will be going for this party held in another two weeks at a popular restaurant here in our hometown. She was quite keen and she kept pestering me to come along, she said she will take along our old school magazine, just for laughs. It has been nearly 3 decades since we last saw each other.

Well, I am quite hesitant, a bit shy in fact, for I heard that most of them are mostly professionals, earning and living a very comfortable lifestyle. I can imagine the would-be-scenario, everyone will be flashing their business cards to each other and I? I do not even have a business card to show, perhaps I should go online and get some free business cards, not actually free of course, but it comes with many designs, either that or you can make your own personalized cards to start with a price as low as $3.95 only. An idea hit me, maybe I can start off with my own personalized card displaying "Claire, sole owner of www.reanaclaire.com." How about that? :)

Choc Chips Walnuts Cookies

2009-11-02T22:58:00.011+08:00

I'm late tonight...really late... its 11pm already... a very busy day indeed. How I wish I am at least 10 years younger, ok ok... at least 5 years younger, can ah... then I won't tire so easily.

Ok, my busy schedule started after work at 5pm.. rushed home to change into my attire for my badminton appointment. (sorry kids, monday is mum's off day from the kitchen, just go do your own cooking, OK?) No la, I am not so bad a-mother-one... got tar-pau curry fish from the canteen... LOL.. (still bad, huh?)

Anywaysss.. back from badminton around 7.15pm... Girlie said, "Mi, lets make some cookies!" HUH? At this time of the night? My body still on the cooling down mode... but seeing her anticipated face, I don't have the heart to say NO... "Ok, ok... but promise you help me till the end, DEAL?"

So.... after my shower, body clean clean, we went to the kitchen, butter was still hard but then, who cares... just do it quick and as Frank Sinatra said, "Do It My Way" (elin, don't laugh!)

My way... yeah... All who see this, please don't laugh, OK (but u can snicker, though :) )

The making of an amateurish cookie maker...

the dough...

(Elin, i know u r stiffling your laughter now...
i can sense it!)

my odd shaped cookies in the baking...

and after 15-20 min....the outcome

phew.... phew... after 3 hours...
our mission accomplished ... finally!!

oh btw, this is choc chips walnut cookies
(siapa wants recipe, hands up? oh, no one geh...)

Girlie is very "kan", halfway through, she went missing and Mummy has to shout like Tarzan then only she reappeared... (next time cannot trust her words).. after much grumbling, we managed to get 4 plastic tins of cookies...
(one for u, one for her , one for him, one for....... Italy boy? macam tak cukup.. guess he has to wait for another round... )

Some Printing Services

2009-11-02T22:38:00.004+08:00

Year end is coming, at this time, my friend, Tam will be very busy organizing her schedule for next year. Her boss dedicates most of his duties to her and she is more or less a manager in an agriculture firm. Well, she always complain that her post might sound enterprising but her salary is way below par. But then, due to the poor economy these days, one cannot be too fussy or choosy about jobs, as long as there is a fixed monthly income, it is considered a blessing, right?

Coming back to the topic, around this time, she will be making frantic calls to printing companies for quotations. She will have to collect a few quotations and then decide which will give her the most appropriate pricing of printing out calendars and diaries as well. Besides that, she has to get some brochure printing to promote her company's products for the new year. So much to do, she complained and yet shortage of staff. Perhaps she can find some ideas by looking through the website but then, I guess she will have no time for that as well. Anyway, no harm telling her, right?

Homecoming Meal

2009-11-01T16:43:00.006+08:00

One of the requests from Andy when he reached home was "Mi, please feed me with home cooked food...." oh dear... that was what I feared, I do not go marketing often, now that he is back, I got to... I am sure this statement is quite common among our youngsters... Though yours truly here only knows a few selective dishes, he really doesn't mind. LOL.... But lately, I learn a few good dishes from my good fren, Elin, but of course, not as delicious looking as hers...

these were our dinner yesterday....

ahh.. my new profound dish from u-know-who..
Buttered Japanese Taufoo with Chicken Meat..
(original recipe no chicken meat)

A-Must-Dish for Andy
guess no need to introduce anymore...
(i bet u all jemu already)

I hope my friend, Lynn will stop feeling sad over the second loss of her laptop, no doubt it is just within six months, things just happened when we least expected it to be. I know how it feels to lose something dear to us, especially her baby photos, there were all in the laptop data, they mean a lot to her. Hope I can enlighten her a bit when she goes to see these baby shower favor in this website which I came across this afternoon. Seeing those cute baby favors, she might need something from here for her cute baby. Lynn, if you are reading this, choose something you like to have, charge them to me, just get something nice and tell me the price...LOL..
They have a large selection of lovely gifts meant for babies, from edible baby shower favors including personalized mint tins, personalized cookies and a variety of candy jar are some of their gifts. As I browsed through, a cute time keeper in a shape of an Egg caught my eye. This Baby Egg Timer makes an adorable accent in the kitchen and is practical for new mummies especially they are cooking something in the kitchen and at the same time, their babies need their attention too. This will make a lovely gift to hand out to any new mummies and besides that, there are other lots of cute baby favors gifts as well.
