Early Moon Cakes Festival

It's been quite some time since i last update my blog. Well, have been busy with work. Ok, ok, i confessed, not really busy with work la but lazy. The fact that no one is interested in my life, puts me on hold with updating. Er......... but i said before, who cares whether anyone bothers or not. *wink wink* Haha..... ok, ok, the real confession - actually i was busy playing online silly games and i was really lazy with baking any new stuff, so there's really nothing for me to update.

Well, now here comes the opportunity. All thanks to KD and his mum for giving me a reason to update this post.

It'll be another 2 over weeks before mooncake festival but it's so kind of KD to bypass my office to pass me these delicious mooncakes that KD's mum make. #yum yum# I have these also last year but as it was so delicious that before i could get a good photography done, it's all in hubby tummy. Heehee....... this year, no matter what, i also must grab every possible angle of these delicious moon cakes.


Looks very good and delicious right? The color is so even too. As good as those selling outside, infact better and more tasty too.

Different angles taken.

Well, i really enjoyed my early mooncake festival. ^-.-^

Purpose of blog

Beginning to ponder over the purpose of blogging. When i 1st started to create a blog, it's to vent my frustrations over some matters. It's all just my personal thoughts. However, some how when there is some viewers, the blog doesn't seems to be personal anymore. It looks more like whatever your thoughts are, you are subjected to criticism - be it 善意or恶意. Really admired those people who blog as a living. They are the so call celebrative bloggers. Haha :( Sigh.... i think i would never be able to achieve such bravery to subject myself to such criticism (perhaps hurts). Guess i really minds what others thinks about me although i always tell myself "WHO CARES". Even when i see my love one's being threaten or humilated, i'll feel hurts too. But really, i blog just to register my thoughts at that very moments.

Moral : WE HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHER'S OPINION; you can see it clearly in the above Picture. We just need to wait and listen actively to others' point of view.

So why am i subjecting myself to such hurts? I really wonder too..........

This really best proved that "IGNORANCE IS BLISS". By not knowing it, i'll not subject myself to more heartache................ i tell myself, don't read anymore already..........will this works????

PS: my therapathic bake : MUNCHY OATMEAL RAISINS COOKIES - recipe available in my bon appetite blog.

Random

Attended a Malay wedding this afternoon. The bride is my colleague's niece. Haha....... everyone asking what has his niece's wedding got to do with his colleagues. Well, i can only say since i'm being invited and since i have the time, no harm in attending even though it's really costly to give a big ang pow for 2 plate of nasi bryani. Actually, my thoughts is that Malay loves crowd（爱热闹）, that why they would invite anybody whom they are associate with。

As i really don't know the bride/bridegroom or their parents at all, i feel shy to wipe out my camera to take photos. As such, i only snap 1 photo and that's the stage layout before the bride arrived.

My saturday noon's snack - bake potato chips skewer chicken.

For recipe - refer to my bon appetite blog.

SUSPICION

A lot of things happened because of suspicion. Because you suspect but you don't ask or clarify, and that's how you began to suspect, and the more suspicion you are, the more trouble could be created.

Just like when you visit a friend whom you have stopped visiting for donkey years because that friend called and asked you to and had actually said wanted to do something specially for you. However, when the visit is done and that friend have clean forgotten about what you were told earlier, do you ask or do you keep quiet? If you ask, it's like you are demanding. If you don't ask, that friend turn around and suspect your motive, what do you do? Sad to say, i personally don't know what to do. To stop all the visits altogether or to carry on visiting and start building the friendship again??? Puzzled, sigh.........

Art Festival & National Museum

Last week met up with buddy STny (to pick up some stuff from her) and another friend. As ny wanted to watch the art festival performance outside the national museum, so we decided to have dinner some where nearby which is the nasi padang at hotel rendezvous. After dinner, we walk down to the national museum, as we were pretty earlier, so decided to take a walk round the museum. It has been ages since i last visit the national museum, infact, not in this new location.

A very tradition record player

At the food exhibit hall

As not all the hall are open to public FOC, plus because it's already closed at that hour, we did not managed to walk round all the hall. I have also taken very few photos as it was pretty dark inside the hall, and i doubt my camera would give me good effect.

After that, as it was pretty near to the performance hour already, we decide to leave. Thought we would be able to catch a good spot for watching the performance by some Italian group dancer entitled "The dancing Sky", however, i was so surprised to see the whole area is already packed with many audience. This is the 1st time that i'm watching such a performance, therefore, i'm really surprised by the crowd.

As the organiser is a bit disorganise, we were forced to move a couple of times from one spot to another. At the end of the day, we couldn't get a good spot and we are so far away from the performance area. As such, with my lousy camera, i couldn't catch any photo of the performance. But, well, we could still steal a glimpse of the performance. The music is pretty good and the dancer are fantastic. Imagine being suspended in the air, they could still do very artistic stunt. Wow, i wished i was in the front row, then i could get a better look and would be able to take some photos.

Didn't finish watching the whole performance, left half way thru to catch a movie instead.

Short Memory

Suddenly discovered recently that, "OH Dear! I've such short memory."

My aunty in her 70s recently passed away in her sleep (People said this is call good death - no suffering, although it could be such a shock to dear ones). While attending her funeral for a couple of nights, i met my group of cousins which we hardly ever catch up with nowsaday. Most of them are already in their 50s to 60s already (but never look like one, which leaves me wondering how could they keep up with themselves and maintained so well). The funny thing is, they all could remember me and could even call out my name. However, i have no memory of which is which. Only upon mentioning by my brothers and sisters that i could vaguely remember them but i really couldn't recall those old memories that they were talking about. Never knew that i have such fun childhood with them all. :)

Ok, now, the more i think i should record some of my memories here.

Muruku from colleague SK.
Birthday card from buddy - STsn. Also a sexy gift from her which is not convenient to post here. haha.....:)

爱心早餐 from 阿嬷。Not all on the same day of course. But i have always been receiving regularly this kind gestures from friend's mother.

Pork dumpling

And not forgetting birthday well wishes via SMS from buddy - BL, car agent - ACC, Colleague SD, Sifu - IT, etc. etc. Thank you very much.

ERP=Every road pay=Everyday rob people

Got this on email. It's so funny, but it may really happen one of these days.

It's really getting more and more expensive to drive in Singapore already. Imagine, you can easily choke up near to 2k of car maintenance cost (including road tax, parking, petrol, insurance, ERP, etc. etc. ) if you are not careful enough. But imagine, if one day, even taking the lift will need to pay, wow.............

Take the steps la, some would say - healthier also. But........ imagine if you stays on the 20th floor.......... yoohoo........... probably may take half an hour to reach home from ground level to your home. Haha....... currently the prices of flats is such that the higher you go, the more you pay, when the lift ERP is being introduced.............. oh no, the lower you go, the more you pay, eh...... no leh, better for me....... because i don't stay high floor, heehee........

Oops! I'm talking rocks here. Urgh.............. i can't think so far away, already dying from the escalating cost of living here already............. how am i going to fulfill my WANTS list.
