FMY (Fanny, Megan, Yvonne) in Chinatown

Fanny, Yvonne and myself decided to join in the crowd in Chinatown last Friday after our badminton game. We went to People's Park for dinner, after that shop around before we proceed to go across the road. We saw the crowd at 牛车水, we were a bit reluctant to join in the human jam. We were thinking probably we will just look at the deco on the Garden Bridge, take a few photos then go home. Yvonne suggested that we go Temple Street for dessert, which means we will meet up with the human jam liao...really can feel the mood of CNY there...every year it's almost the same things, people go there and buy nuts, sweets, mochi, melon seeds, cny deco, fruits and plants...and not forgetting the long queue at Lim Chee Guan.

The dessert stall was so crowded, no place to sit...so I suggested that we will ta pau and eat at the Garden Bridge since the weather is so good and so windy...wow as we were eating the shave ice, we felt like we were in Taiwan cos the cold breeze was so nice!

By the time I reached home it was almost 10.45pm.

Even though we know Chinatown will be crowded but it's always good to go there to feel the atmosphere and mood!

Ribbon Biscuit

I've been helping my mum do this biscuit since I was in Primary school...mum always do this during CNY cos the received a lot of orders. But my job is always helper nia where I only help to fold it into a ribbon shape.

Since I bought a noodle machine, my sister suggested that I can try making this biscuit. She gave me her improvice recipe cos my mum's is based on agaration.

On Saturday, thought of giving it a try. Wow...super tiring in kneading the dough and it's all based on feel since it's my 1st time doing it on my own without the help from my mum and sis. FYI, the last time I saw my mum did it was more than 10 years ago....

Thank God everything turn out well. With the help of Mary, we finished everything quite fast. Am thinking of making it again this Saturday, probably as CNY gift. I already gave 1 box to my good neighbour Ms. Koh!

NEW HAIRSTYLE FOR THE YEAR OF OX

Look at this prosperous (aka fat) looking lady....how you like my hairstyle???? I think my hb don't really like it cos when he saw me, he asked..."Dear, why you cut your hair like that???"...

Goodbye 2008 and Hello 2009

On 31st December 2008, my church had a watchnight service. The theme is on bearing fruits for year 2009. Therefore the supper's main dish is FRUITS...we had lots of different kinds of fruits...Cherries, Strawberries, Oranges, Honey Melons, Grapes, Fragrant Pears, Longans and Persimmons. We contributed the Persimmons!

We had a good time worshipping God, a time of ice breaking games, many good testimonies and last but not least the makan time. I didn't stay throughout, left in the middle of some testimonies cos I know my dearest son is very tired and sleepy liao...JW sent us back and went back to join the service...of cos he did the countdown in church...as for me the countdown was on my bed together with RJ....haha...anyway around 12.03 my eldest sis called to wished me Happy New Year!!!

Many people are worried about year 2009 because of the financial turmoil but I started my new year with receiving blessings from others.

IN the morning, I'm suppose to go out to buy a new pair of white shoes for RJ (school requirement), but before I went, I meet Joyce (RJ's classmate's mum) at the market. Told her about it and she offer to bless RJ with a new shoe. She has a spare pair of new shoes she bought in Malaysia. Wow a wonderful blessing early in the morning. She even gave us a pair of socks together with the shoe. Wow I save around $16 for a pair of shoe! Praise God!

In the evening, My nice neighbour Ms. Koh called me as tell me that she will paste me some chili rempah that her maid made. Was told that it will be nice to cook with fish, however I don't have any fish in my fridge. Guess what??? Ms Koh gave me the rempah and also gave me some fish...Wow...free dish for dinner!!!

Isn't God wonderful??? He is indeed my Jehovah Jireh, My Provider. He provided me with so blessing through so many channels. I am going to boldly confess that year 2009 will be a good year for me cos my God Almighty is Able to turn things around!!!

May year 2009 be a year of abundance blessing to all of you too!!!
