Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese - Good Morning!

~ Posted on Friday, January 16, 2015 at 6:19 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: GOOD MORNING!

Dinner - Before & After

~ Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 8:42 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 2nd January 2015. From top left (clockwise): Chicken thighs marinated with turmeric powder + salt pepper + Sriracha sauce at least for 1 hour before cooking, a bowl of my concocted spicy sauce (dried chili deseeded and sliced thinly + Sriracha sauce + chili sauce + salt + sugar + water), a bowl of eggs with chopped scallions (3 eggs), bite-sized fish fillet coated with cornflour, 2 stalks of lemongrass

Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese - Good & Not Good

~ Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 11:42 AM ~

It started out with a personal message sent from one of my Facebook page fans asking me whether I can teach her some Malaysian words as her son is half Malaysian and she would love to b able to teach him some words to surprise his grandmother. So I replied her back with some basic greetings to start off our lessons hahaha...

And then I thought why not share it with the page as well? So I asked around on my page to see the response:

Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese

And the response is very encouraging! One even asked whether I can teach her Cantonese. Okay, sure sure!

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.

And so, here goes our next lesson: GOOD & NOT GOOD

You say this few words in response to questions like 'How are you?' (refer previous lesson) or when you want to let others know how you feel or think basically.
