My Home Cooking

Home cooked food can possibly be the freshest and more healthy food to me. I love to cook because I enjoy the sense of taste. I have my own "trade Mark" dishes, it may not match any restaurant or roadside hawker, but I strongly think that home cooked food is always the best.

My 60th Birthday

My 60th Birthday was over last week, which I was not prepared for any celebration. To me, a birthday is just the first day of another 365 days journey around the sun. You will enjoy the 'TRIP' if you 'organize' yourself.

If you know me, you will know that I am a simple lady, not demanding, no fancy with sophisticated food............ My two daughters knowing my 'style', they organized a steam-boat cum BBQ dinner at our Bukit Jalil house on 4th Sept. Everything was well planned. Thanks to Carol and Evelyn for the arrangements and the endless love that is still surrounding me and keeping me safe.

Happy moment with family and friends

(Time may be a great healer, but I hope it's not a lousy beautician)

Suprised guest: My very old colleagues from digitpress

************************************************************************

Suprised!! Suprised......!! On 5th morning, when I was busy with my daily job routine in my room, someone called nainai. I was shocked when I saw Joanne and my two grandkids. I never expected to see them at this time as I was told by YL that he was coming back from Tokyo on 12th. Everything was arranged much earlier without my knowledge. I felt proud and happy, their irreplaceable heartiness, love and understanding are the sources of my strength. Thanks to Uncle Soong, My 3 wonderful children, Joanne, Peter together with my 3 grandchildren for joining me on this special day. It was truely a Suprised Joy to have all of you surrounded me.

YL from Tokyo arrived Singapore at 2am on 5th morning

drove all the way home to share this Suprised 60th Birthday lunch with us
and back to Singapore after lunch.

M O R E 27 >>> 31 august

When I say 828, the 'YONG' knows what it means. In conjunction with the celebration on this day, Taijie and I took the opportunity to meet our brother and sister who was not able to join us in Telok Intan. After three delightful days with the birthday girl, we spend a night in Cameron Highlands. From there, with the Simpang Pulai way, we went to Ipoh for another night. During these days I manage to catch some shots I like. I decided to post more pictures, as it tells a thousand words.

It was lunch hour when we reached T. Intan on 27th. With no hesitation we went for our 1st best of the best "Steam Fresh Fishead." Uncle Tan was there, to make sure we get a place to be seated. A VIP welcome for three of us. Thanks to Alice & Tan.
