What's Cooking?

2009-01-10T20:29:00.002+08:00

This is what my sister and I cooked for dinner tonight :). First attempt to make tempura and it turned out nicely ;).

It's easy to prepare if there are two of you cooking *wink wink*, one is frying and the other dipping.

For the batter i used egg with ice (which i've read from the internet) and flour and seasoned with salt and pepper for the batter; for the breading we used Tempura shrimp flakes.

School Boys and Girl

2009-01-05T19:15:00.005+08:00

January 2 was the first day of school for my 2 boys here in Singapore. Their school bus' pickup time was 6:15 am and so they woke up at 5:30am.

My eldest son was excited and anxious and was not able to sleep early. He's still awake at 2:30am. Good thing that he was excited, he was able to woke up at 5:30am!

And today is my daughter's first day of school, she's going to nursery. She's very excited to go to school and did not cry even though i didn't ride the school bus with her. She's very brave.

Happy Holidays

Happenings...

#1 Arrival
Papa, Mama, CJ and Ryan arrived last saturday :). the house is in chaos now :p hehe

#2 New' 'do
Not me but kulit (my little girl) :).

We had mama cut kulit’s hair yesterday morning. This is her first hair cut since birth. Her hair is already waist long. Why cut the hair? It’s making her eczema get worse, her hair always gets on her face, and it will all grow back eventually ;)

[share picture later]

#3 Wala na.. hehehe

It's September

2008-09-01T21:58:00.001+08:00

It’s already September, and in the Philippines, we call this the “ber” month. “ber” month meaning the start of the countdown for Christmas; radio stations are starting to play Christmas songs; the breeze is getting cold.

115 days before Christmas.

iPhone Craze

2008-08-21T15:47:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow, 22 Aug is the launch of the iPhone 3G here in Singapore and Singtel is the sole distributer of this phone. But before the launch as early as June, those who are keen on purchasing the phone can already make an online reservation. And a few days before the launch, they’ve contacted those people who made reservations via email to book an appointment if they would still want to buy a phone. The buyer would then select what phone to buy (8GB or 16GB), date and time to go to the selected Hello! branch.

Hopefully this will minimize the queue, and the maximum waiting time will be 2 hrs (not bad) compared to a whole day of waiting. We’ll see tomorrow and let’s hope for the best!

As for the price of the phone, price is quite cheap but buyers need to subscribe to 2 years mobile plan. The cheapest plan is 56sgd/month and the phone would cost 348sgd for 8GB and 508sgd for 16GB. More information can be found here.

Beijing Olympics

2008-08-09T14:36:00.003+08:00

Opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was yesterday 08.08.08 at 8:08 in the evening. The National Stadium, which is called the Bird’s Nest that was built for the Olympics was huge (Picture can be seen in http://en.beijing2008.cn/venues/nst/headlines/n214507800.shtml).

All I can say ‘bout the opening was that it was really awesome! The gigantic scroll enfolding on the stage was amazing. The choreography of each of the performance was outstanding. The painstaking practices that they have done for the past few months really paid of. The Women Chinese dancers are really graceful and the men are strong and powerful. The lighting of the Olympic torch was incredible. The imagination and artistic inclination of the Chinese are very exceptional.

Finally

2008-08-06T22:18:00.003+08:00

I was able to fix my toy, my Sylvanian family house. Whenever I try to fix this house my daughter would play with it and knock down what I’ve arranged, which makes me lazy to arrange it again. Then yesterday my husband organized our cluttered living room and placed my toy on a convenient place where I can easily reach and arrange it.

And so this is what I did lastnight..

With the help of our kumares and friends, the celebration of my daughter’s 3rd birthday was a success. Thank you Abiik, Benga, Cj, Cute#1, Mami S, without these friends, we would not be able to pull the party off!!!

The princess party was held last Saturday, 19 April at Normanton Park. My husband and friends turned the function hall into a kingdom having the Disney princess as our guest ;). I would like to share some of the photos.

Thank you to all or our friends who have come!!

kids

2008-03-26T18:26:00.002+08:00

2 Saturdays ago my 2 sons arrived to spend time with us during their school vacation. Daddy, little girl and me fetched them at the airport. While waiting for them to come out, I sensed that little girl was feeling excited. I was also anxious then, of what would be little girl’s reaction when she sees her brothers.

When mama and the brothers came out, little girl was very ecstatic; she kissed her grandma and brothers enthusiastically. On our way to get a taxi, the 3 kids are walking hand in hand (little girl in the middle). The sight of my 3 kids was very heartwarming.

From the airport till we got home, the kids were inseparable. Little girl would always follow her brothers wherever they go. The brothers would kiss and hug the little girl.

After days of being together, the fighting started. The little girl would always want to play with her brothers’ toys and this would often irritate the boys. And the fighting would start, little girl will cry her way out. When the brothers play with the little girl’s toys, the little girl will not allow them. She would usually snatch the toys from the 2 brothers. Then mommy will start the scolding and shouting, little girl will do her crying thing *sigh*.

But this is not always the scene you’ll find at home. There are also times when the 3 kids get along well and play together. They would tickle, wrestle (yes, even little girl) and all sorts of play. Well kids will be kids.

I hope that all the shouting and scolding I do will lose me some fats in my tummy & belly hehehe. :p

RED

2008-03-01T17:02:00.004+08:00

I was tagged by Salme. I am having a bit of Monday blues so I decided to try brighten up my day with this tag.

The Rules:

1. Post your photo wearing red, may it be a red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if you hate wearing red… If you can’t find one, you still have an option…. Either post your Significant Other’s photo or your child’s photo, if you have one. Of course, they should be wearing red.

2. Let us know the reason why you were wearing red that particular day. Was it your birthday? Is red your fave color or was it the shirt that you first saw in your closet that day?

Taken on the 23rd of Dec 2006. We are celebrating the 7th birthday of our son, Ryan. The theme of the party was Mickey Mouse. And the polo shirt I'm wearing has a mickey mouse picture :).

3. Tag 3 people close to your heart. By the way, they have to be in your blogroll. No cheating heart please.

I'm tagging alpha, lairofeilrig, chocnut.

Coffee Prince

2008-02-21T21:02:00.004+08:00

Mami S lent me a copy of the Korean tv series, Coffee Prince. And I just got hooked on the series from day 1. Started to watch it Tuesday night and was able to finish the whole series Thursday morning :p. Told you I got addicted to it, and so now, I’m a walking zombie :(. For the last 3 days i slept at 3 or 4 am and try to wake up at 7am to get ready for work. That’s how I loved the series, just can’t get enough of it :p.

It’s a romantic-comedy series like Full House, which I also got hooked into. I really really like romantic-comedy stories, it makes you feel good ;). Also the characters of the series are lovable and they compliment each other. Seems that they are very much in love with each other. Hope that they are a couple in real life, but I read that they are not :(, Oh well.

Read that they are planning to make coffee prince 2. Hope that they will still have the original cast and wait for Gong Yoo to finish his service in the military before they do the coffee prince 2.

Wow, how the days, weeks, months of 2007 just went by and in just 12 hrs we'll already be starting a new year.

2007 was not a great year for me but still there are a lot of things to be grateful and thankful for:

1. God. For Everything!!
2. Family. Have been with me through thick and thin and for being understanding.
3. Good health. Not only for me but also for my family.
4. Friends. Always there to talk to over a cup of coffee :) and share interests with.
5. Life. Even with the bumps and hick-ups stumbled upon, i'm still able to cross the finish line of 2007 and start
anew in 2008.

Wishing you All a very Prosperous New Year!!!

Festive n Lazy mood

2007-12-21T14:57:00.000+08:00

I’m in the festive mood, not that the people here in the office are in the holiday mood also. It’s because Christmas is just around the corner, only 4 days to go!

I’m lazy to do some work in the office, just forcing myself to finish some work, plus it’s hard to concentrate :(. I envy those people who are now on leave. You might ask, why not take leave? I cannot take leave since my colleague friend is already on leave and no one will be left in our team, so sad that we can’t both take leave. Well even if I can take the leave, I only have a couple of available days leave hehehe.. so what I can only do is complain.. please bare with me *wink wink*

This morning, I only managed to add several lines in my test cases and just do some random and simple tests. Then went to check on my friends’ blogs and went to blog hop :p. I wish I can just blog hop and read all day :p.

Ok, I’ll try to add some more lines in my test cases.. still 3 hrs to go :p hehe

Handwriting

2007-12-13T13:25:00.000+08:00

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person.

You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.

You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are a free thinker. You are unique, open minded, and artistic. You don't care what other people think.

You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?

i am a yellow crayon

2007-12-13T13:14:00.000+08:00

Grab this from Alpha's blog :)

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors.

You have a thoughtful and wise way about you.

Some people might even consider you a genius.

Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to

do things your way.While you seem spontaneous and free

wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme.

Your color wheel opposite is purple.

You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you

have no depth.

Kulit's Development

2007-12-13T12:46:00.000+08:00

Rhandie asked me last week why I didn’t blog about our daughter’s developments, and so here it goes..

1. She can now count from 1 to 10 in English and Chinese *still teaching her to count in Filipino.. Japanese, French, Spanish.. hahaha :p*
2. She can sing ABC which goes like this.. A B C D F G (only until G and without the E hahaha)
3. She already recognizes the basic colors (red, blue, yellow, green, white, purple/violet)
4. She can identify the different parts of the face & body
5. Whenever a dance music is playing.. she’ll shake her bonbon ;) hehe
6. She now picks what she wants to wear for the day (which oftentimes, ends up arguing with mommy :p)
7. Already knows how to say “No” when it comes to taking a bathe and brushing her teeth :(
8. She has a lot of naughty antics.. and the list goes on ;)

Thanks Daddy for this idea :)

No "away"

2007-10-09T18:19:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday, after giving eanna a bath and dressing her up, i went back to the bathroom to tidy up the toys she brought.. when I got out of the room eanna saw me..

Eanna: No away eanna ha; no away..

(transalation: don’t scold eanna ha; don't scold..)

;) hehe

Then I saw what she meant.. she’s playing with the powder.. scattering it on her mat and on the sofa and on her daddy’s face.. hehehe

Silent Mode

2007-09-13T12:39:00.000+08:00

I attended a meeting last Thursday, 6 sept, and as usual I was in “silent” mode, (not my phone coz I did not bring my it along) yep it’s me that was in silent mode.. meaning nakaupo lang walang masabi at nakikinig lang..

I wish I was gifted with self-confidence na I can talk and interact well with other people (especially sa mga bossing). Yung tipong bibo na may masasabi sa mga meetings pero yung may sense naman at hindi yung para lang may masabi.. marami kasing ganong tao eh.. oh well, ganon talaga kanya-kanyang talent.. ang masama nga lang ang parating napapansin ay yung mga magagaling magsalita kahit kulang sa gawa.. at yung gumagawa naman kadalasan nasasapawan na lang :(

Kaya sana yung mga kids ko na magkaroon ng self-confidence to talk to different types of people at di magmana sa akin na parating nasa isang sulok lang na pagtinanong tsaka lang magsasalita.. at ang kadalasang sagot eh “no question” hehehe

Hay may meeting na naman mamaya.. silent mode again.. :p

So let me be the first to greet you my friends a very Merry Christmas! :)

Ang mga kalaro ko noon...

2007-08-29T12:23:00.000+08:00

Received this email from a friend.. just want to share :)

Ang mga kalaro ko noon...

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE1950's, 60's and 70's !!

First, some of us survived being born to mothers who smoked and/ordrank while they carried us. ( sioktong ang inumin)

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, fish from a can ( brand :ligo ), and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with brightcolored lead-based paints, pati na yung laruang kabayu-kabayuhan.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets andwhen we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads , sometimeswala ngang preno yung bisikleta.

As children, we would ride in car with no seat belts or air bags –hanggang ngayon naman, di ba ? ( jeep )

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a specialtreat. ( maykaya kayo pare ! )

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle ( minsanstraight from the faucet)

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONEactually died from this. Or contacted hepatitis.

We ate rice with tinunaw na purico ( dahil ubos na ang starmargarine), nutribuns na galing kay macoy and drank sopdrinks withsugar in it, but we weren't overweight kasi nga.....

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as wewere back when the streetlights came on. Sarap mag patintero, tumbangpreso , habulan taguan….

No one was able to reach us all day ( di uso ang celfon , walangbeepers ). And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our trolleys or slides out of scraps andthen ride down the street, only to find out we forgot the brakes.After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games atall, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound,no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chatrooms....... ...WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were nolawsuits from these accidents. The only rubbing we get is from ourfriends with the words…..masakit ba ? pero pag galit yung kalaromo,,,,ang sasabihin sa iyo…..beh buti nga !

We play in the dirt , wash our hands a little and ate with ourbarehands…we were not afraid of getting worms in our stomachs.

We have to live with homemade guns – gawa sa kahoy, tinali ngrubberband , sumpit , tirador at kung ano ano pa na puedeng makasakit…..pero walang nagrereklamo

made up games with sticks ( syatong )and cans ( tumbang preso )andalthough we were told it would happen, wala naman tayong binulag onapatay….paminsan minsan may nabubukulan.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the dooror rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team.Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Walangsumasama ang loob.

Ang magulang ay nandoon lang para tignan kung ayos lang angbata….hindi para makialam.

This generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers,problem solvers and managers ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TODEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ka-Highblood!

2007-08-28T16:04:00.000+08:00

Haaayyy!!! Just had a confrontation with a developer at naninikip pa dibdib ko sa inis!
Ayaw mong makinig sa explanation ko at ipinipilit ang gusto mo! Pinapa-assign ko na nga yung defect sa akin, pero nag-iingay ka pa rin at ang lakas pa ng boses mo. To the rescue na tuloy yung kasama ko ding tester pero pati siya na-highblood din sa’yo. Hay!

Migraine

2007-08-23T18:18:00.000+08:00

I was suppose to post this last Friday, Aug 17, but was not able to.. obvious ba.. hehehe kaya eto po huli man at magaling huli pa rin..

Nangyari ng Aug 17, 2007 :)

I have a very bad migraine when I woke up this morning and I blame this on my monthly visit.

Coz these past few months, I noticed that whenever I’m having my monthly visit, I would have this very bad migraine. Unfortunately di ako pwede mag-mc dahil may dapat akong tapusin na testing L hay kalungkot. Kaya eto wala po akong ganang magtrabaho dahil sa sakit ng ulo.. pero magblog meron.. hehehe

Ang natatandaan ko di naman ako ganito dati na mina-migraine pagdumarating ang dalaw. Bigla ko lang naisip na this might be due to the fact that I’m not getting younger anymore. (Don’t ask how “young” I am.. ok ok I’m on my early 30s *sigh* :p). I can also feel a lot of muscle aches and back pains. Hay dala na talaga ng katandaan, eto na nga ata ang tinatawag nilang hormonal imbalance (tama ba?). And dagdag pa ang stress sa buhay. Hay buhay :p.

Again Again..

2007-07-18T12:35:00.000+08:00

Base on my ticker i'm with my previous company for 1 month and 2 weeks (and 2 days to be exact).

Yep you read it right, today is my first day of work with my previous previous company where my contract ended 1 month and 2 weeks ago. It was nice to see familiar faces and new faces as well. I feel a little bit shy since i've already said goodbye before and now they are seeing me again. Well that's work life! Employees come and go and come back again.. hehehe

Also feel excited and sad at the same time, coz the reason that i'm here is, i'll be taking over Da M's work and she'll be leaving the company soon. But she'll be working nearby so we'll still be able to see her and maybe meet her for lunch :).

She's currently turning over the projects that i'll be handling.. quite scared though, hope i would be able to carry out the tasks i'm given.

I've been tagged by salme.

I must post the rules, 7 random things about me and then tag others to do the same. Sound fair enough, right? These are the rules… each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.

1. Always have a hard time buying shoes because the size of my feet is very small, 4.5in.

Adjustments

2007-06-15T21:47:00.000+08:00

It's exactly two weeks since i have started my new work. I don't want to complain but.. I just can’t help myself not to. Compared to my previous work, it’s more demanding and very overwhelming.

My PM expect me to finish both the test scripts and test data in 4 days, but unfortunately I can’t :(. For several days I’ve started going home late (and going to work on time.. :p) just to be able to meet the deadline but to no avail. *Sigh* I want to but I just can’t. (di na ako sanay na umuwi ng late! hehe)

I just hope and pray that things will get better soon. :)

Blessings

God is sooooo Good

2007-05-18T13:13:00.000+08:00

I received an advance birthday gift from God last Tuesday.

I received a call from my agent and it was a job offer from their client. It was truly an answered prayer.

Salamat sa lahat ng kumare, friends and inaanak ko na tumulong sa akin sa pagdadasal :) and for giving me moral support. Thank you God for answering our prayers :)

Glory to God!

Hi-5 Effect

2007-05-16T12:37:00.000+08:00

Hi-5 is the fave tv show that eanna loves to watch anytime of the day. So when eanna watches hi-5, everybody at home do not have a choice but to watch it also.

So last Sunday, as we are going home from Great World City, my eldest son CJ, suddenly sang a Hi-5 song, nagkatinginan kami ng asawa ko at napangiti.. this is how the song goes (not sure if the words are correct :p) …

"Busy liver ant got a job to do

Working night and day

No time to play

Building up the leaves high up on a tree

Building up a nest for my family.."

the song was sang in an OZ accent hihihi. ;)

Job Hunting

2007-05-03T12:14:00.000+08:00

Today is the 3rd day of May and still doing my job hunting. I'm getting soooo worried now, my contract will be ending on the 31st of May. Have sent my CV to a lot of companys and agents but have not gotten any reply yet :(.

I keep on reminding myself that God will not abandon me that He is my strength. With this in mind, I'm browsing thru the emails I have received and run into this email sent by CJ.

Subject: God Will Never Turn His Back On You

Hebrews 13:5-6
5… He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

For six whole hours, the Son of God was suspended between heaven and earth. And at the height of His suffering on the cross, He cried out in the deep darkness, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:45-46)For the first time, Jesus addressed His Father as "God". The Father had forsaken the Son. As Judge of the universe, God had to turn His back on His Son, who was carrying all the filth of the world's sins, for His eyes are too pure to behold evil. (Habakkuk 1:13)If the Father had not turned His back on His Son, He would have to turn His back on you today when you call out to Him in your hour of need. But because Jesus took your place, today, you take His place, and have God's face smiling on you always! Right now, God's face is smiling on you. His countenance is shining on you. I can stand before you and declare, "The Lord make His face shine upon you." (Numbers 6:25-26) And it is all because Jesus has paid the price for God to never leave you nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) As Judge, God turned His back on His Son. But as Father, He cried. His heart was broken because Christ was never more pleasing to Him than when He was on the cross. Christ's suffering was a sweet-smelling aroma to the Father. (Ephesians 5:2)Do you remember what Jesus said? "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again." (John 10:17) If you are a parent, you love each one of your children equally. But when one of them does something special for you out of love, it touches your heart, and you just want to run to him and hug him. That was what happened at the cross, except that the Father could not embrace His Son. Instead, He had to turn His back on His Son because our sins had to be punished in His Son's body.Beloved, when you cry out to the Father for help, know that He hears you and will surely help you. Because of Jesus, He will never turn His back on you!

Monday Blues

2007-04-30T12:35:00.000+08:00

All alone in the test lab of our office at cityhall, my officemates are at our chai chee office. Today is a very lazy day because tomorrow is a holiday. Wishing that it's already 6:30pm so that I can already pack my bags and go home :p.

I'm trying to simulate a defect, (started Friday doing this hoping to reproduce the error today), already getting a headache but still no luck :( *sigh*. I still have half a day to do this *sigh again*. On the positive note this will help me fill my timesheet for today :).
