<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yesterday was "Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah." Husband had to send his bike for repair and service over the weekend. So we had to ride the mini scooter to work. After lunch, he pinged me that the orange bike is ready and either we take on the next day, which means i have to drive all the way to work and stuck in the stupid jam OR he rides on the big bike while i follow him with the scooter. Sounds like a plan. So off we went for the second option.....bad choice!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While we were on the way to the bike shop, the sky started to get dark. Damn! Of all days, yesterday was the day we did not bring our raincoats due to the box key was attached to the orange bike key which was passed to the mechanic at the bike shop. And even if we were to ride home straight, we would still be caught in the rain and get wet. We proceeded with our initial plan, to ride home on 2 bikes. I was a bit worried with my riding skill, esp we had to ride in the rain & it's a scooter!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Before going up the bridge, i was tailing husband very closely. He turned left, i turned left. He braked, i braked. Until when we're on the bridge, he asked me to go first while he followed closely from behind. It was raining cats & dogs, fish & frogs. I was very nervous yet excited. Surprisingly, i did not feel too cold. Could it be me being over excited or the weather was still hot though it was raining. Anyway, we reached home safely in about an hour or so. I proudly announced to husband that i'm fit to ride on the scooter to work myself. Then, he spilled the beans.....it was him who followed me behind while fending off the other bikers who were trying to overtake my bike!! Owwww...so sweet huh!</span></div>

I have no idea where the gun men were and have absolutely no idea why i didn't even protect khye. When everything stopped, i was unhurt but khye was brutally shot in his legs, chest, and arms!!! Somebody had just shot my 20-mth old baby!! He looked half conscious but didn't make any noise. I guessed he was in too much pain to show any reaction. I screamed and carried him before running all the way to the hospital. All i could remember when i reached hospital was, i was shouting "Doctor! Doctor! Emergency!" I put khye down on the stretcher and asked the doc to take good care of my one and only baby. Then, i jolted up from my sleep. I could feel the feeling of emptiness, the feeling like i just lost a child, and i cried. Leaning over to khye's baby cot to find him sleeping peacefully...... and very much <em>ALIVE</em>.<br /><br />Watching too much of CSI & violent shows does have its drawbacks. It's a "zombie-ing" day for me again today.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-77695814985548893602009-08-05T02:53:00.000-07:002009-08-05T02:57:31.627-07:00chatWas chatting with one of my old friends....<br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><em>Me : GO DIE!!<br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Fren : mommy not suppose to be like this,k </span></em></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><em><span style="color:#000099;">Me : mommy can type & swear online.

Hubby asked mil to get us a piece of pork belly with skin on Monday morning. I googled high and low for the easiest recipe and even called an aunt of mine who owns the exact same turbo oven as i do.<br /><br />I asked mil not to buy a big piece in case it turns out bad and at least the meat will not go to waste. And this is what i found when i went home on Monday night.<br /><a title="before marinated by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3771151302/"><img style="WIDTH: 441px; HEIGHT: 221px" height="281" alt="before marinated" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2564/3771151302_57e4fd9407.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />It's a BIG piece of meat that goes up to 2kg+ easily. The butcher already slit the meat nicely and it was cleaned by MIL. All i needed to do was to wipe it dry before marinating. Imagine how this fatty portion will turn out to be like after roasting. I will remember to snap the exact angle tonight.<br /><a title="fatty meat by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3770352779/"><img style="WIDTH: 412px; HEIGHT: 288px" height="353" alt="fatty meat" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3503/3770352779_5f688ebcfd.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />To marinade the skin:<br />1.5 tablespoons of vinegar<br />1.5 tablespoons of salt<br /><br />To marinade the meat:<br />1.5 tablespoons of 5-spice powder<br />1.5 tablespoons of pepper<br />1 tablespoon of salt<br />1 tablespoon of oyster sauce (to replace "Nam Yue" or fermented beancurd)<br /><a title="ingredients by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3770352189/"><img style="WIDTH: 433px; HEIGHT: 210px" height="281" alt="ingredients" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/3770352189_8759d47512.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />Before marinating process, i poked hundred of holes on the skin using the tip of my knife. This is to create bubbles that will make the skin crispy during roasting. Scoring is quite dangerous (at least, for me) cos i maybe slitting the skin too deep whereby the salt + vinegar will go into the meat portion. Stabbing on the skin was so much, but hubby who was in the kitchen too, refused to join in the crazy fun.<br /><a title="holes by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3771271204/"><img style="WIDTH: 416px; HEIGHT: 176px" height="253" alt="holes" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3771271204_2fa0e292ec.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />After making sure there are enough holes on the skin, i marinated the meat first, though most of the recipes i found stated otherwise. You need to "massage" all the ingredients into every corner of the meat so that they can penetrate into the meat. Do the same for the skin. After massaging, put the marinated meat into fridge and lower the temp. The secret to get crispy siew bak is to have a very dry skin before roasting. Preferable 4 days. Mine will be only for 2 days cos mil needs the siew bak to be ready by Friday morning for prayers.<br /><a title="marinated meat by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3771151366/"><img style="WIDTH: 432px; HEIGHT: 150px" height="223" alt="marinated meat" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3554/3771151366_43b9d28782.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Do you know that siew bak or siew pai (roast pork belly / roast pork ribs) are selling at RM100++ per piece during 8th day of CNY? Let you know the result tomorrow.<br />Stay tuned....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-42163012393291755622009-07-27T19:34:00.000-07:002009-07-30T23:13:52.415-07:00Cookies - Choc Chunk CookiesBefore we got married, mil told me that she bought a set of "Space Wok" (turbo oven) so that i can bake cakes or cookies. It costed her about RM2K at that time, 4-5years ago. I didn't know how to use it or even want to take the bulky oven out from our kitchen cabinets.<br /><br />After reading several cooking/baking blogs & watching AFC on Astro, we finally bought a packet of ingredients to make cookies. Before we bought it, i was making sure that i do not need to add any additional fancy ingredients or use a mixer. My kitchen does not equip with a lot of cooking equipment. We could live with a pot & non-stick frying pan, not forgetting a microwave.<br /><br />After sending Khye to mil & a long nap, i started to take out the giant turbo oven from my cabinet & wiped it clean. I just need to add an egg & some veggie oil to the cookie flour. Since we do not have veggie oil, i substituted it with our newly bought Naturel Olive Oil, hoping the cookies would still taste good. I do not have any baking utensils at home, i had to borrow baking tray from mil, using knife from Secret Recipe to mix the dough. Instead of using ungreased paper, i put some margarine (no butter) before throwing chunks of cookies dough into the tray :P<br /><a title="choc chunk cookies dough by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3763656661/"><img style="WIDTH: 395px; HEIGHT: 247px" height="375" alt="choc chunk cookies dough" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/3763656661_85fd25e386.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />It says, i need to pre-heat the oven at 360F. It's a good thing there is a Converter function in my phone, from Fahrenheit to Celsius. For a first timer, i adjusted the temp & on the switch. Nothing happened. Then i turned off the switch and re-adjusted the temp. Again nothing happened. Finally, after a few rounds of testing, i only realised, i forgot to adjust the timer. Temp > power on > time. That simple! Once the power is on, the fan of the turbo oven started to swirl the air into a hot tornado-like air. The baking tray was shaking non-stop in the oven, could be due to the uneven base of the baking tray.<br /><a title="spacewok - turbo oven by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3764453778/"><img style="WIDTH: 419px; HEIGHT: 245px" height="281" alt="spacewok - turbo oven" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2529/3764453778_df74ddff2a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />The instruction said the cookies need to be in the oven for 8-10mins at 360F, but the cookies turned brown after 5mins. I guess the air must be pretty hot and the cookies were heated up very fast. I only need 5 trays and completed the whole baking session in an hour. I also did a quick check and the oven consumed 2 units of electricity within the 1 hour baking session. Although the color of the cookies is not exactly presentable, the taste is excellent, with a bit of burnt smell. Hubby has placed order for cornflakes cookies :P<br /><a title="choc chunk cookies by clsyee, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/10534308@N04/3763656807/"><img style="WIDTH: 415px; HEIGHT: 283px" height="375" alt="choc chunk cookies" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3446/3763656807_7e57183b4c.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />My next big challenge would be roasting pork belly or "siew bak". I've been searching and collecting recipes on how to roast siew bak using turbo oven. Some of the recipes looks pretty simple. Wait till i give it a try and post up the pics of the whole process yah...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-68501857290012598132009-06-28T23:07:00.000-07:002009-06-28T23:10:21.723-07:00patience<div align="center">The following conversation proved that i still have patience.

Fortunately, i was early and by the time i dropped hubby at the airport and reached Batu Maung post office, it was only 7.20am. I waited in the car for like an hour before the post office opened the main gate and was only attended by the officer at around 8.45am. Managed to open ASM account for khye easily and reached office around 9.15am. Surprisingly, there are so many people walking into the office at that time, and i thought our flexi working hour is from 8-8.30am.<br /><br />This morning, we reached the Butterworth post office much later, around 8am. There was already 11people queueing up in front of us. Iskh!! I cannot stop blaming hubby on that. The main door was opened at 8.30am sharp and we got no. 11 & 12. Only one counter was available for new account application cos "tak cukup kakitangan". Konon lar. So it took about approx. 12mins per account and by the time we finished our transactions, it was already 9.30am. Hubby sped all the way to office and reached by 10am. We created a sejarah for ourselves for arriving at that time. My colls who went to Batu Maung office came back to office empty handed cos the online system was down. They told me the people queueing in front of them were cheating cos they took extra numbers for their friends who are on the way. So instead of getting 20-something number, my colls got 60-something number. Bad isn't it. It was a good thing, hubby suggested we go to the one near our place. The gang didn't want to give up and tried their luck again during lunch time. Unfortunately the 2billions ASW 2020 was snapped up right before 12pm, barely 3 hours after launched. Scary. Either there are a lot of rich people out there or people are using backdoor concept.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-78923309520593090222009-03-11T20:32:00.000-07:002009-03-11T20:39:24.667-07:00colors of the faceGirls ought to install bright lights in their rooms or bathrooms. You will be surprised to see girls with super white or super red faces walking around in public area. Haven't they realised that the color of their faces do not match their necks or worse still, if they are wearing sleeveless, their arms? Personally, i hate face foundation a lot. Putting on moisturizer or sunblock is a very irritating task for me. My face can't breathe after applying them. Even if i use oil-free or grease-free or whatever, i still feel a layer on top of my face. I even minimized the things i apply on my face to work - toner, moisturizer, sunblock lotion, light blusher & a bit of eye shadows. No lipstick. My lips can't breathe either :P<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-58028272296211759892008-12-16T20:17:00.000-08:002008-12-16T20:51:05.401-08:00groceries<div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwnRHtOdiBfPJ_e0K_xTjPTpjJkGdrifqii_XsBMOwnLoB-cTXCB-3LPLdgVA8hQZUJbhfGfVs97gS0mi4G6zTEHzRsrvWGUULn66w46iiCTFfjZKVQBlmGKEQNPNye_h84AJXGkaPU3E/s1600-h/PICT0214.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280613086034823298" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwnRHtOdiBfPJ_e0K_xTjPTpjJkGdrifqii_XsBMOwnLoB-cTXCB-3LPLdgVA8hQZUJbhfGfVs97gS0mi4G6zTEHzRsrvWGUULn66w46iiCTFfjZKVQBlmGKEQNPNye_h84AJXGkaPU3E/s200/PICT0214.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div>I did spring cleaning yesterday and i was so surprised to find so many empty bottles of Eu Yan Sang chicken essence.

They have finally bought a brand new piano. Before that, they were only using keyboard. The piano practice hours are weird, the player starts at 10pm every night and 10am during weekends. Best hours to practice according to Lilian Too? Recently, the player is practicing lots of chords and scales...remembering our good old days where we sisters had to take turn to do that. Torturing leh. I'm wondering when will i get to hear nice pieces such as Pachelbel's Canon in D Major =) Do you think i should let Khye learn up piano or violin? Or cello, saxaphone...hahahaha? I really like guys who play musical instruments :D<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-62417814504656078412008-10-15T06:26:00.000-07:002008-10-15T06:47:24.742-07:00gadgetsFinally our new gadgets arrived at 12.30pm today. The first gadget i would like to introduce is our Ogawa mini massager. Small and handy but i dun find the vibration any useful. It's free so no complaint.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257373901359042114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4op8LZiqI1I9kIJsoHKEsLezGPojhNFCTEK3Fd9cnFSlv6oDZDSTY-RBsYdepeneWEVjakGR2CbpaTGGp41gajIV3gJurPnAOypicagwdw-D2Gf5nRMq-tX4H1sxfX-Kzr29csgzuDvY/s200/PICT0180.JPG" border="0" /> Our second gadget is the thing which i've been wanting to get since long ago. I don't think i will but it's quite pricey. And i dun think i'll use it very often since it's so bulky. Now i get it for free too. <div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257373905640174546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVZF5-J55r37zE2iJXwHY5ndphUgxPYq4ItjZBH9kXWfq72JPKNzBHTrHmrfhAYD-SoIKgQs9RGoGFuIRMtNUqv_DEu0j134KZnS06GOuDEBjVL7VERKlYdyzMvCSXbkmK3e6ZaKGvHXQ/s200/PICT0182.JPG" border="0" /> The highlight of the day, which is not free - our home latest addition - Ogawa Sensual Spa Massage Chair. It's smaller than the size of our single sofa but the weighs around 80kg. We spent the whole of last night moving our furniture around to find the suitable space for this giant chair. Hubby was not very satisfied the new arrangement of our living room but there is no other suitable arrangement, unless we threw away some sofas :P When the chair finally arrived and i managed to ask the servicemen to re-arrange our furniture which is back to their original places despite the effort spent last night. We wanted a brown one initially but it was out of stock and it takes 45days for them to replenish their stock. Finally, we settled with a grey one, not too bad huh. Hopefully no more backache after today =) The reason why we didn't choose an Osim massage chair is they are way too pricey & if we want to have all the functions of the one we bought, we have to get 3 different type of Osim massage chairs. As long as the chair comes with a warranty and good service, who cares??</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-74428031331339802382008-10-14T02:20:00.000-07:002008-10-14T02:26:47.483-07:00it starts with an "O"Last Sunday, hubby left me for my facial at Jusco before he went for his badminton practice. The only time i get time off for facial is when Khye's at mum's place. When i passed the atrium, i saw Ogawa was having road show...hmmm...... I was quite proud of myself this time as i didn't sign up for any additional facial program or bought any product at all. Well, i added RM35 for eye massage which i needed badly due to sleep deprivation since 3 weeks ago. Khye is teething and 3 of us were lack of sleep. Terrible. Anyway, i will be on leave tomorrow, to have a whole day of good rest before Khye returns. And also to wait for something that starts with an "O" to arrive =)<br /><br />Will update again tomorrow ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-12522202640461362172008-09-02T17:35:00.000-07:002008-09-02T17:40:34.718-07:00titleJust a thought, when parents call their kids princes or princesses, are they calling themselves kings & queens?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-13945691425454141192008-08-10T02:46:00.000-07:002008-08-10T02:53:02.349-07:00decisionIt's always tough when it comes to making decision and worse if the decision is going to change your life. It's not the end of the world but yet i have to decide on something so big. Ask me to decide what to wear, where to eat, what movie to watch, what pic i like best, etc, i can tell you within seconds. Ask me to change my lifestyle or work, i can only give you an answer several months later. If only i can rewind & forward my life as i like, just like the movie "Clicks" or "Click", whatever. Frankly, i've not seen this movie even though Adam Sandlers is one of my favourite actors besides Will Smith, George Clooney, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. Yeap, i like veteran actors. I fall for older guys. Did i mention my hubby and i are 4 years apart but yet people still mistaken we're of same age and worse, i'm his elder sis?!?! @#$@!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-78935208221725894852008-05-29T19:46:00.000-07:002008-05-29T19:47:09.594-07:00dreamI had an odd dream last night. My family and I were waiting for lift inside a building which was not familiar to me. When the lift door opened a man walked out holding a portable polystyrene cutter. He instructed us to remove our belongings and put into his bag. Okay, so he’s using the cutter as a weapon to rob us. Some of us refused to hand over our money & what he did was to place the cutter against our legs & arms leaving nice clean cuts. Ouch!! Afraid of getting the same fate, I reluctantly hand over the only RM50 note in my pocket. Yet, he still placed the hot cutter on my thighs!! Hot and burning, my thighs bleed. That’s when i woke up. I checked on my thighs, no cut, no burnt mark. Was still shaking before realizing it was just a dream. Who would imagine being robbed by someone who used a portable polystyrene cutter? I think that only happens in dream.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-77006685704801955452008-01-03T16:11:00.000-08:002008-01-03T16:14:50.195-08:00happy new yearHappy New Year to everybody!!

Woke up at 5.30am since hubby wanted me to fetch him to the airport rather than taking a cab. So before we went to sleep at 10pm last night, we on 2 alarms in case one is malfunction. It did happen before though. Reached airport at 6.30pm, dropped him and here i am now sitting in my cubicle, 50% blur and typing out this post :p<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/2b5ojn"></script></div>syhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355880645508708318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578823466488170032.post-42503267472542743742007-12-05T22:52:00.000-08:002007-12-05T22:55:26.808-08:00pig knuckles<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dCmQFZup_SB1bqnKF68hcQBxQ3g4k0C3veAPmIbemv8NPr1xai-18BTL2lDLJxbYUlgfquOmP46Vcc-6IFeIhd3zRbp_x7icvcH2tkAnbpM22jatDqi5OIcRxGxoKOt51QeqcuLJrsc/s1600-h/PICT0055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140749855003435842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dCmQFZup_SB1bqnKF68hcQBxQ3g4k0C3veAPmIbemv8NPr1xai-18BTL2lDLJxbYUlgfquOmP46Vcc-6IFeIhd3zRbp_x7icvcH2tkAnbpM22jatDqi5OIcRxGxoKOt51QeqcuLJrsc/s200/PICT0055.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Last night, while waiting for hubby to take his bath, i took another pic of my swollen legs.

I have "food luck" today, free lunch and free pizza. I'm still bloated from the heavy lunch. My lunch partners were all small-eaters so i vacuumed most of the dishes.
