Feeling Moody...

Don know if it's because of the school reopening that i am feeling veri moody...
In less than a week time i have to go work.. Don really feel happy..maybe haven rest enough...

This holiday realli goes off fast.. I realised that i din do alot of things except to clean my house and buy alot alot of "books"... This week there is POPULAR SALES at Expo..
Went to Expo yesterday for the Metro and Popular sales and bought a number of $1 chinese books.. Me super kiasu, was thinking that if i buy now then can read to my baby after she is born.."Kiasu Parent" hahaha.. I realised that to find $1 chinese book is easy but to find $1 english book is so difficult.. so ended up i bought only chinese books (guess how many books i bought.... ans is 31) i guess over this holiday i bought at least 50 books.. bought quite a number of english toddler books too (thanks to Bro Sky who kindly lent me his kino card so got 20% discount)

Metro Sale i guess will last till end of this month... the one that i find the most worthwhile buying is the Polo Ralph "Romance" Perfume.. Luckily we went yesterday cos when YH saw it left oni with 3 bottles (its the collectible edition "total pink", not the normal "transparent" one) I have been looking for it since my trip back from taiwan this June cos i tot i could find it Spore and have regreted not buying it at the Taiwan Airport all this while but luckily found it in this sale...hmm... at least it made my trip down to Expo a fruitful one... :)

Sushi Today...

After our Breakfast, have to drive my hubby for his driving lesson...
Since i kinda feel tired today, i told him today lunch and dinner the same..."SUSHI".

Those u wanna make sushi can buy from the supermarket sushi mix for the rice if not just add vinegar, a little salt and sugar to your rice.. of cos it would be better if u are using sushi rice...
Since my honeymoon to Japan last year, i realli like the Japanese rice so now i oni buy pearl rice whether for normal cooking or porridge....
The ingredients for the sushi is not fixed so it's entirely up to u, I like the crunchy feeling of carrot and cucumber so i boiled them a little to soften them (if not too hard liao and the jaws will be too tired after ur meal) and add sesame oil. (smell nice..)
I also fried the eggs and hotdogs and also put the packed unagi in the oven (Din realli like it but hubby like unagi.... so far the unagi sushi i tried and like it is Genki Sushi's..)
Haha, realli save me alot of time but after that i also too tired also...
Feel that pregnant woman get irritated very easily.. I dunno if it's because i am disturbed during my nap (my hubby and his bro are enjoying their games) or pregnant woman is just like that...
even when i am dreaming i also get irritated in the dreams.. Hahaha.. maybe because the hormones changes.. the funni thing i totally cant recall why m i so angry in the dream....hm... must try to keep myself happy....
Ah, i also observed that the green veins around my chest area and hands are veri obvious.. Hmm.. getting worried liao.. i think i better check with my gynae next week during the detailed scan....

Pancake Roll


Wake up about 5am this morning and i cant get back to sleep again...

Since i m awake, i decided to make some pancakes.. (Most of the time i will have bread for breakfast but too bad today there isnt any)

It's quite easy to make it.. just use flour, eggs and milk. I added some sugar to it too.. Whisk them and u are ready to make ur pancakes..
I also put the ham and cheese sausage to the oven and they are wrapped in the roll....
Hm... I find that the pancake i make seems too thick.. Well will make those super thin ones that are crispy the next time round, then add ice-cream and choco syrup to it.. *Yum Yum*

Home Cooked Meal

Realised that i dint do alot of things except to do cooking today and reading an interesting blog on BENTO..
The blogger is a teacher who wakes up very early in the morning to prepare bento for herself and her husband and her friends... Quite interesting to see the way she design the bento...
http://kinigu.blogspot.com/search/label/Bento

Well, after that i have to do cooking:
Dinner: tomato with egg, cabbage and ikan bilis and meat on mushrooms with golden mushrooms.
Luckily i have my hubby to finish all the food...



Now i really feel exhausted... Have to take a rest liao..
'bb' complaining already...



Meatshrooms Rice Burger

After breakfast, i decided to prepare for lunch...

Since i have bought some minced meat since 26 nov and it sits in my freezer for too long,

i must do something about it...

Usually, people will throw away mushroom stalks, so what i did is gather all the stalk from my newly-bought mushrooms and get my hubby to grind them into small pieces...

Mixed them with the minced meat and carrots and then fried it...

With the patty ready, i decided to make rice burger as there isnt much veges left in the house except for cabbage that i would probably be using tonight.. But no worries as i still have some lettuces..

So this is my final product....



Comments from Hubby is that it's not bad... :)

So it's a good try for me....

Chicken Mayo Sandwiches

Woke up about 6am this morning by my hubby when he told me that the TV is not spoilt.

Hahaha... So happy...

Since he cant sleep as he is hungry and i also cant sleep cos woken up by him, i decided to make sandwiches then..

With some left-over chicken in the fridge, I boiled them, shredded them and add some mayonnaise to them..

Together with some lettuce, the sandwiches are ready to be eaten in 15 minutes...

My TV is Spoilt...

Had been trying to figure out alot of blog stuff today in the morning and afternoon...
My bro-in-law came over to play x-box with my hubby...
since i dont play, i just cooked lunch (fried mee today: result to me not satisfactory) and work on my blog again...

then after that drove hubby to attend a malay wedding and after that we went to POPULAR...
sometimes even if u wanna spend the money, u also have to spent alot of time to decide what to buy.. i have a few $5 discount vouchers for every $20 which expires today. You cant purchase with any other promotion, no textbooks, no nett items.. imagine we spend an hour plus just to decide what to buy.. we try to make sure that we hit just nice $20 to be able entitled to that $5 discount. (in this case it would be 25% off, much more worth it than the 20% voucher)
since we cant finish the voucher i offer to another family but too bad their parents did not want it since they have the 20% voucher.. (Think their maths not realli good.. if i am offered it, i will try to take the $5 discount and the remainder then use the 20% voucher, like that save even more..)

When we came home, i realised that my TV is spoilt......%^#&^!@#!!@*
so angry man... TV is my life.. i watch TV the moment i wake up till i sleep..
now it's spoilt, how do i live without it.... Argh.........
Definitely have to call the repairman to fix it.... he better get the job done quick...
This is the 2nd time it's spoilt... We onli had it for 2 years...
Last year there was something wrong with the colour panel, so we send for repair, imagine today i cant even switch it on... STUPID TV... %^#&^!@#!!@*
Guess cant do anything liao but to go sleep... maybe it will be okie tomolo...
Hard to say....

Kueh Lapis

Guess my sis is super inspired by those cook bloggers that she decided to make some Kueh Lapis today. Although it's her first attempt, the kueh lapis really taste good....

Hahaha.. I am not into baking so all i need to do is to eat.....Yum Yum...

This is the Kueh Lapis made by my sis... It doesnt look any different from those selling outside...

Got to take home some from my mom place as only my mom's oven can be used to make the kueh lapis. You need to have the grill function to bake it... it's rather different from the normal cake... no wonder the price of these is not cheap outside...

Anyway they are going to bake the kueh lapis again for the coming CNY....

hahaha.. Again i will have the cake to eat again.. (so good cos no need to do anything still can eat...)

Egg Mayo Sandwiches

Kinda of hungry today the moment i woke up cos i guess probably is becos i din sleep well last night. About 4+ am, i was woke up by my hubby as he was feeling very cold and wanted to switch off the air con. Then after that he fell asleep again in less than 10 mins. I ended up being awake for about 1.5 hours before falling asleep again.


Well, today decided to make egg mayo sandwiches as i am feeling really hungry and it's so easy to make. Since i still have cucumber leftover from the previous breakfast, decided to add it in again. Together with tomato, ham, i boiled the eggs and add mayonise to it. They do taste well... :) at least i can have my breakfast in less than 15 mins.

Fried Mee Hoon.. (My First Try!!!)

Woke up this morning and had the intention to fry mee hoon...
Got inspired by some of the bloggers on cooking so decided to try frying mee hoon.
It's my first attempt and my hubby had no choice but to be my guinea pig...

Since only 3 persons eating (My hubby, myself, Bro-in-law:he is sick so we check with him if he want to eat noodles since he stay nearby and i am about to do the cooking), so i decided to put french beans, carrots, fish cakes, chickens and eggs..

It's really not easy to fry cos everytime i stir the noodles the sauces dont blend well...
Got my hubby to try and he said: "Well, give you 60 marks cos some parts are quite bland and no sunnny-side-up(his fav but i beat and fried the eggs) and no luncheon meat."
Hmm..... well, will take his words into consideration and try again.. (hahahaha...)
Actually he din wan me to cook mee hoon again, not becos its not nice but rather i made a mess of the whole kitchen and he spent quite some time to clean up the dishes...



After our bunch, meet up with my parents to go orchard. Bought some new blouses at Isetan.
:( it's realli difficult for a pregnant woman to find nice something that she can wear.
Then we walked all the way to Robinson and went back to wheellock place again.
Guess what, i am oni 15 minutes late when i reached the public carpark and i am giving a summon. Time i arrive at the carpark: 4.45pm, time my car is given summon: 4.41pm...
Ah... my god, this summon cost me $6.

Then my mom suggested that we go bugis so that she can buy bird nests to bu the 'bb'. Another hole in my wallet again... But it's okie since it's meant for my 'bb'....

And guess what, when we are on our way back, gana ERP..... Sigh...spent another unnecessary amount again.....
