Dinner - Before & After

~ Posted on Friday, April 3, 2015 at 9:20 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..

Top part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 26th February 2015. From top left (clockwise): Prawns marinated with salt pepper, Sriracha sauce and chili powder, long beans chopped into half inches lengthwise, 3-4 cloves of garlic sliced thinly, a red onion slice thinly, 1 cube tofu chopped into 1/2 inch lengthwise, a cup of oyster sauce + water + salt pepper + sugar, pork sliced thinly marinated with Worchestershire sauce + salt pepper + sugar + cornflour, a cup of water + chili powder + Sriracha sauce

Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese - Right / Left

~ Posted on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at 6:43 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: RIGHT / LEFT

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!

Teaching & Learning Moment - Breakfast At The Park

~ Posted on Monday, March 30, 2015 at 5:46 AM ~

During the recent school holiday (1 week), I brought our 3 kiddos out to the park earlier in the morning to have our breakfast there, then I let them play at the playground a wee bit after they have their breakfast.

Teaching & Learning Moment

Now why this falls into the 'Teaching & Learning Moments!'?

* Train their patience level, to finish up their food before they can go play (VERY big temptation since the whole playground is all theirs!)

* I get to teach our 6 yrs old boy some stuff about buildings as we can see different types of buildings all around us - like what is condominium, landed property and then I got distracted and further on explained to him what does property means etc

Win-win!
