Panic

caLi bb slept super early today...7plus....tomorrow sure wake up early...lol..

My hard disk is faulty...must send it for repair first thing in the morning cos all my important files were saved in that HD....hopefully my files were not corrupted or lost..*fingers-crossed*

I think i'm unable to sleep well tonight...

demoralized......

moodless......

Simplified "Claypot" Rice

Let me share a simple recipe with you....Claypot Rice!!..miUmiU & caLi bb's all time favourite..

Ingredients needed :

3 Chicken Thighs(skin removed and cut into bite size pieces)

2 cups of Dried Mushrooms(soaked in water till it turns soft)

4 Chinese sausage(sliced,depends on how many you wish to add to your Claypot rice)

Rice,rinsed

5tbsp of oyster sauce

3 slices of ginger

1 tbsp of oil(depends on individual;in this case i used corn oil)

Seasoning:

1 tbsp of dark soya sauce

1 tsp of salt & MSG

Methods:

A. Mix the chicken thighs and soaked mushrooms together with the oyster sauce, marinate it & leave it for 10 minutes.

B. Stir fry the sliced chinese sausage till it turned crispy & removed it from the wok.

C. Stir fry (A) together with the sliced ginger till the chicken is cooked.

D. Add in the rice & stir well for 1 minute.

E. Remove them and put into your rice cooker, add water & seasonings as well

F. Cooked it for about 25 minutes

It is served best with sambal chilli...

P.S. In this case..i used rice cooker instead of claypot cos it's less hassle..=))..

Let me know if i missed out any points..Enjoy~~

3/4 Done

I bought this last year...till now is still not completed...left with the hair & a little bit here and there..lol..hmm..the skin color is kinda weird..saw similar design at Yishun but different colors of thread given(it's much more nicer than the above)..anyway already bought so fret not..well..it's my first almost completed piece of stitch..will be one of caLi bb's birthday present..keke.. =))

Hellloooo

Been rather lazy to blog again...plurk more instead..keke..it's getting hotter each day..scorching sun makes me dread to go out..think we'll get sunburn easily..life is as usual for me..babysitting & playing with caLi bb everyday..she knows how to say "milk milk" when she's hungry..

Weeks ago..in-laws bought a remote control car at Kiddy Palace for caLi bb to sit on..initially she seems enthusiastic towards her new toy...but now she dare not sit in her car due to the sound produced..actually both miUmiU & I already told his parents not to waste that money on the car cos my precious little one is very timid..even a laughter could scare her off..well anyway...it's been bought so no point telling them(cos they appeared sad when caLi bb doesn't want to sit in)..lol...

Saturday-220809

miUmiU & i woke up super early in the morning cos we were needed to help out for the 中元会....caLi bb was there too and many uncles & aunties enjoyed playing with her...some managed to carry her while others not..my cheeky baby..she prefers ladies cos more things(necklace..hair..etc..) to explore on them..guys on the other hand..only glasses...keke..after the rites..we needed burn all the joss papers..gosh...you cannot imagine that day's weather...simply HOT!!!..i could feel my skin burning...one of the aunties teased me,"Ah Lin ar..your face super red lei..." lol..explained to her that i seldom go out when it's so freaking sunny..haha...had the dinner function at night..MIL attended too even though she was sick..Rachel & Priscilla were present too except for Derek(3 of them are my childhood friends..)..had a heartily chat with them during the dinner..miUmiU, Daddy, My bRo & me eyed on this apple-lookalike(looks like orange also) for the coin storage(gosh..what should i call that besides coin storage?? =pPp)..4 of us felt love at first sight for that cos we felt that it resembled our little precious princess....lol..such a coincidence...i bid the price at $288 but m0mmy's friend was so bad that he purposely jack up the price..was pissed(but in a happy mood)...MIL ended the last bid at $408...but it was not for my caLi bb BUT FIL...lol..it doesn't matter cos we're the last bidder...keke..

Short Getaway Trip

Went to Genting & KL last friday morning..1 night stay at Genting Resort Hotel & another night stay at KL's Mirama Hotel....this time went without boi & daddy...cos daddy's having meeting while boi's exams are around the corner..Therefore only drove PILs car...left miUmiU's 小姨子 at woodlands multi-storey carpark..We took 4 hours plus to reach Genting Highland cos it was having a minor traffic jam at KL...really enjoyed my stay at the Resort Hotel cos the room was very spick & span especially the toilet..did not really shopped around except for taking a family photosticker at the arcade...it cost 34ringgits!!..expensive right?..lol..i guess it's almost the same in sgp..probably few dollars different..at least everyone enjoyed the photo-taking session..still not yet scanned to my com..shall do that when i'm not lazy..keke..

Had Mac for our breakfast before heading down to KL...i must said that driving downhill simply 要我的命..was feeling so giddy & almost vomitted..wasted on a regular caramel ice blend..couldn't finish cos am still feeling very nauseous...hate that feeling...next time must take cable car down..lol..did not really spend much on shopping this time as everyone was totally exhausted after a Japanese buffet lunch at a 5-star hotel..forgot the name of the hotel..lol..

Started our journey at 1045hrs & reached JB at abt 1245hrs..fast right...you should know why...lol..caLi bb was fast asleep throughout the journey...luckily both customs were not congested..it was super duper smooth!!..however..it wasn't for those people going to JB...it was so packed & congested all the way from JB's custom to BKE..what the...lol...reached home at abt 2plus cos we're having our lunch at JB before heading back home..

Some pictures taken...enjoy..=))

Problems..

Blogger seems to have never-ending problems..the necessary tools are missing..cannot change fonts, colors and even upload pictures..sianz..is there anyway we can solve this problem?..it's really getting on my nerves..=((

m00dy days~

Finally the missing tools are back..days ago..i couldn't changed my fonts & colors cos the tools were missing..lol..wonder where they went to...=P..It's been 4 days and i still have not recovered..hopefully is not that H1N1..*not so suay right*...Been rather moody for months cos can feel that my caLi bb has been rejecting me whenever she was with my MIL..she don't yearn for me..cried whenever i wana carry her from my MIL...very depressing..she's the first grandchild so definitely everyone dotes & pamper her ALOT...Everyone acts as the goody therefore me..the BAD one..i've no choice but to be the BAD one cos in future when she grows up..nobody is able to control her at all...Whenever she does silly things or throw temper, I will scold her..she will cry very pathetically...it breaks my heart too..but no choice...sometimes I was wondering if caLi bb really knows who her mother is?..I've read blogs & seen so many real life experience whereby the child is so sticky to their mother..NOT mine...upon seeing that..I often shed tears a few times...I know I shouldnt compare this or that..probably there's too many caregivers around till she doesnt know who her mommy is....There are alot of things which were kept in my heart...nobody to talk to...nobody understands how i feel...miUmiU will say i'm being over-sensitive & paranoid..haiz...whatever..so sick of life..sometimes I wish that I can be deaf to whatever things they said...Bad remarks..miUmiU will always side his parents by saying "They don't meant anything.."..if that's so..why comment in the first place?...sianz...
