Dinner - Before & After

~ Posted on Friday, August 7, 2015 at 7:13 AM ~

Last year, I wrote about a look back into my home-cooked journey so far. Then shortly before the end of 2014, I wrote a post on my preparation when cooking. Then I thought, "Why not snap a picture of before start cooking and the final results after cooking?"

So, here you go..

Left part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 17th  April 2015. Ingredients on left (top to bottom): Pork sliced thinly marinated with sweet soy sauce and sugar, a slice of stingray marinated with turmeric and chilli powder, a bowl of cauliflower (chopped thinly), 4 cloves of garlic sliced thinly, a bowl of dark soy sauce + water + sweet soy sauce, a bowl of red onion chopped thinly, a bowl of chilli powder + water + salt + sugar + lemon zest.

Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese - My Favorite Food Is...

~ Posted on Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 7:54 AM ~

Ever since I started kindergarten at 6 years old, I have been attending public schools (main language is Bahasa Malaysia) and during my earlier years, I mixed around with a lot of Malay friends and even spoke Bahasa with my elder brother at home (he also attends public schools), even to this day. So Bahasa Malaysia used to be my main language other than Cantonese and later on English (brushed up more when I met my hubby then boyfriend through snail mails, I had to practise and brush up my English as he doesn't speak Cantonese) Anyway, I think it is fun to be able to practise back and sharing what I know with those of you who are interested.

And so, here goes our next lesson: My Favorite Food Is...

Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese

For those of you who are more often on Facebook, you can also find the tutorials on my Facebook fan page. I have created a "Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese!" album to store the phrases. Enjoy learning!

Drawing by a 3.5 Year Old

~ Posted on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 5:39 AM ~

Our 3.5 year old girl drew this 2 weeks ago.

 

At first glance, I don't know what is she drawing. I asked her what is this and she pointed to the figure on left in pink color saying that's Alyson (herself). Then I pointed to the figure on right in green color. And she said that's dog. The dog is chasing me.

Then I looked at the dog's legs. Lots and lots of legs. So many because the dog was chasing her really fast that its legs are blurry to her LOL!!

And yes, she really got chased by a dog though it was a playful dog. We sent our 2 older kiddos to my sister in law's place for them to spend few hours there with their cousins and at one point, one of their dogs chased our girl, hence the drawing hahahahahaha...

Very cute drawing! I love it!
