I am sometimes truly amazed with myself. For instant.. the cooking of the liver with ginger. I tell ya.. it would never have crossed my mind.. to cook it on my own.. if i were still living in Singapore. Afterall, why cook when you can get them at your friendly neighbourhood “cze zar” store.. right..?? for a mere few dollars too.

For someone .. who haven’t really learned how to cook anything at all..because my mom never like us to mess up the kitchen.. i think in my case .. it’s call ” ma sei lok dei hung” (in cantonese) .. meaning.. horse die .. you just get down the horse and walk. My cooking is still very limited.. but that’s only because i can’t find the ingredients here.. and secondly .. really have no time. But i’ve cooked chicken rice.. pineapple rice.. and yong chow fried rice.. and even made my own tahu-goreng..

Yes.. i’m not usually one .. who looked back and lament about things.. but i am truly, truly amazed with myself.. for making the best outta my current food situation. The food i make/cook may not be the best.. nor authentic in taste.. but like the saying goes.. “beggars can’t be choosers right..??

Flowers from Grampie.. picked from the garden. I think my FIL is a romantic..!

My brat is much loved by everyone.. be it a relative or friend.. and even customers. Look.. at what she got for a present.. from Aunt Verna.. ! Aunt Verna is 90 something years old.. and she lives in New Brunswick.. and yet.. she remembers Chloe everytime she visits… and this time.. it was Aunt Helena .. who was up visiting her. But she still got a gift for Chloe.. and sent it back with Aunt Helena. Isn’t she thoughtful and kind .. to my lil’ brat..!

The things the brat says.. sometimes.. they tickle me so much.

“beep, beep..! excuse me..! coming through.. ! ” hahhahahahaha!! now that’s funny..!!
