A Special Day To Remember

4th September 2009 (Friday) was a very special day to me and my family. It's a day to remember and to welcome a special someone.. ^o^

Great Grandmother's Birthday

Last Saturday (8 Aug 09) was Joeynn's great grandmother's birthday. My hubby's family and relatives gather around in a restaurant in Melaka Raya area to celebrate her birthday.

Joeynn was quite excited to see the birthday cake but too bad that she was having fever and can't really enjoy much on the food.

Cup Cakes

Last Saturday after brunch (breakfast cum lunch), I brought my little angel with me to my mum’s house as I have a mission to accomplish, that is to make CUP CAKES! My hubby was busy with errands so he did not follow us.

This is my first time making cup cakes and the reason why I want to make cup cakes is because of my darling’s birthday is coming soon in October. I am going to throw her a birthday party, so I’m thinking to order some cup cakes as well but I don’t think Malacca is selling and if I really want to order, that means I have to order from KL and get my brother-in-law who’s working there to collect for me. So…. to make things easy, my mind suddenly pop up a brilliant idea – that is to make the cup cakes myself!!

With all the ingredients that I bought on Friday, we happily headed to my mum’s house. My little angel was so happy as she knew that she’ll soon be seeing her grandparents, uncles, yee yee and cousins Qian Qian and Shan Shan whom she has not seen for weeks.

When we reached grandma’s place, cousins Qian Qian and Shan Shan weren’t around. So, my eldest brother helped to take care of my little girl and without any further delay, my mum and I quickly started our mission.

The progress was rather smooth at first but when it came to the baking part, my mum’s antique oven some how didn’t really work. We started around 3pm in the afternoon and only manage to finish the whole thing at around 8pm, my goodness!!

Even though the process took very long hours due to my mum’s antique oven, but I still manage to make my very own cup cakes. So my conclusion is, just spend the money and get the job well done by the expert!!

I actually made more than these but some already gave to my family members, so no chance to take pictures.

I had extra icing so I bought this sponge cake from bakery and add on the topping

Boring...

Life is soooooo boring lately….. Certain things that you are very eager to do but cannot do (eg. spend money without thinking…); things that you can do or supposed to do but you lazy to do (eg. housework, housework and more housework…) and end up you don’t wish to do a single thing…

After watching the Korean F4 show, really feel like going to Korea or Japan, even my sister is also crazy about that movie and asked me whether want to plan a trip there this autumn? Sigh… if not because I already booked for my Bangkok trip in this November and my Hong Kong trip in January next year, definitely I will say yes to her….!!

I am the type of person who can’t sit still and do nothing; I must always keep myself busy. Even though I am a working mother, have a 21-month-old toddler to take care with and have some daily housework to do but I must still find something to do or at least have something for me to look forward to, so that I won’t feel my life so boring…. Hhhmmmm….. My holiday trips are still way too far... Shopping definitely a NO, NO because I’ve spent too much money on my skin care and cosmetic products.. Short trip?? Just went to Genting and KL last weekend. So, what else can I do now……??

Muahahahah!!! Finally!! I know what I am supposed to do now. My little girl’s birthday is coming soon in October, let’s plan a wonderful birthday party for her!!! Already had the theme in my mind and now I should start with the preparation, 3 months time is more than enough and I even find it a bit too long to wait.

Hhmmm… Let’s see… I have to start buying materials to do the costumes for my daughter, her friends and cousins. Noticed that a lot of people here are just too “chin chai” and always don’t bother to follow the theme. So, to make the party a more happening and memorable one, I will handmade a few costumes and let the kids have a real make-over. I believe the kids will definitely enjoy themselves and be very happy about their new looks.

Also, I will have to crack my head and think of what to get for the menu, cakes, decorations, party packs, tableware, prizes, presents, games and accessories… My daughter is just too lucky to have a mother like me, isn’t she?? Hhhmmm… Suddenly I find my world is full of colour again… ^_*

Kkot Bo Da Nam Ja

Recently, my colleague just borrowed me this korean drama, it's actually the korean version of Taiwanese Meteor Garden - the F4! I have not watched any korean drama for a very long time though I used to crazy about it when I was still in Singapore. The reason is because all my favourite actors like Bae Yong Jun, Lee Byung Heon, Won Bin seldom act anymore. The latest Korean shows' actors and actresses are mostly new faces whom I don't recognise.

The DVD shop which I always go to also strongly recommend this Korean Drama to me but I refused to buy it, reason? Very simple, just because I've watched the Taiwanese version of F4 and to me, I think the Korean version will never ever bit the Taiwanese drama.

Never thought that my colleague bought this drama and keep saying that this drama is very, very, very nice!! I am so curious to find out how nice will this drama be, so I lent it from her, and now I'm so terribly addicted to it. The main actor - Lee Min Ho really looks like Jerry Yan and both of them in the movies are damn Man and cute... Oh my gosh.. I'm going to faint... (Oih, back to reality pls..)

Hhhmmm.... ok, ok... After watching the drama, I told my hubby I want to go to a place which is cold or snowing like Korea or Japan. My hubby shook his head and said:" You watch Meteor Garden, you said you want to go to Spain; you watch Love in the Aegean sea, you said you want to go to Greece; watch taiwanese drama, you said you want to go to Taiwan (though I've been there once, but I really love this country and would like to revisit) and now watch this Korean drama, you said you want to go to Korea or Japan." Hahahaa.... that is because I love to travel and I've not been to so many countries yet.. Not like him, can travel few times in a year!! I told my hubby that I feel like going to Japan or Korea alone to look for my friends there, then he asked me what about him?? Huhh...?? Of course stay at home look after the kid lahh.. crazy..!! ^_*

Below are some photos and a nice song to share...

Annual Dinner - Wild Wild West

11 July 2009 was a special day as my company was having a very big event on that day and yes! It's my company's annual dinner - The Wild Wild West...! It'd caused a very big huh hah here and there in my company coz everybody was so excited and can't wait for the big day to come!!

As for me, I was half happy and half worried as every year this moment, I will be given a special assignment - to give speech for some awards ON THE STAGE!!! This special assignment always make me very nervous and I have to keep on practising and asking myself to cool down.. cool down.. take a deep breath.. slowly.. However, we indeed enjoyed ourselves so much especially with a bunch of crazy friends around.. ^_*

Numbers

Every weekday afternoon, I'll go back to my mother-in-law's house for lunch as I miss my darling little girl soooo much and can't wait to see her even though it's just for an hour.

While I was having my lunch together with my hubby, my little darling started to counting numbers.. Yi, Er, San, Si, Wu, Liu, Qi, Ba, Jiu, Shi.. Yeah... Finally!! She can count from number one to 10 in chinese. For English, she's still struggling coz my in-laws all speak Mandarin to her and I'm the only person who speaks English to her. Yes, still need to give her some time. She's only a 20 months old toddler but she can already speaks very long sentences and some times, can see that she's thinking what words or sentence to use in order to make us understand what's in her mind.

HHhmmm.. really love her soo much.. ^o^
