Need a Break

Last weekend, I had dinner with HM at Sagano. This was the 2nd times we've been there. The first time was last year to celebrate HM's B'day, we had buffet lunch. This time we went there for no celebration but just want a peaceful & quiet dinner, haahaa =). (w/o kid's disturbance)

I think every parent wish once in a while to have a short break and enjoy their own sweet times without their children disturbance. The break can be long or even short as few hours, as long as to get rid of their kids. I & HM really really really enjoying these few hours break.
Back to dinner, I ordered a Gyuniku Teriyaki and Tempura Set (Grilled beef with teriyaki sauce and mixed tempura) The set served with appetizers, steamed egg custard, steamed rice, miso soup and green tea ice cream with fruits.HM ordered Oyako Don (simmered sliced chicken, egg and onion served on steamed rice)... sorry no picture :)

We have finished all the food. So, I no need to comment lah and you will know how delicious was the food. Y-U-M-M-Y !!!

Graduation & Concert 2008

Last Sunday, KV was performanced in the Willian & Luisa DanceWorld - Graduation & Concert 2008. The theme of the dance was Marching Princess. The whole group really put in effort in this performance and they had been practising since the past two months. Thanks to teacher Luisa & teacher Jovita for their effort too.

Mooncake Festival 中秋节

Yesterday 八月十五, we celebrating Mooncake Festival. As usual, we have prepared mooncake & fruits for praying. Normally we will buy some vege-mooncakes (素月饼) for praying, but this year my parent decided to buy extra mooncakes. So after dinner we went to 5 bakery & confectionery shops to buy mooncake, but all mooncakes sold out. Finally we got the Six Happiness' Mooncakes from Chinese Herbalist Shop ... funny hor!


These the stuff we used for praying... got mooncakes, oranges, apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes, pomelo, flowers, peanuts, baby yams, 菱角 and chinese tea.

Lanterns for KV (Minnie) & JD (Nemo).
Look at JD, so happy playing with his Nemo's lantern.
All my parents' grandchildren were gathered at my house. They really enjoyed!

Lunch

I found a new place for lunch - NZ garden Cafe. It's located next to Selangor Dredging, Jln Ampang. The cafe likes high-class mamak stall. They serves local & some western food. The price range from RM2 to RM20. No air-cond but got fans and not stuffy. The place quite comfortable & cozy.
I ordered nasi goreng - RM5.00. Got some vege & small prawns. The taste was good and something different from Cozy house. The waiter will give you this card while making the order. Need to present this card to the cashier when making payment. The card treats like a bill.

KV's Part-time Hairstylist

I bought these two brushes two weeks ago at Watson - a Vidal Sassoon's Ceramic Straightening Brush and a Ceramic Round Brush. These two brushes help to straighten, add shine and not damaging to the hair. The total cost for these two brushes was less than RM50.

With the help of these two brushes, I manage to dry KV's hair very easily.

Look at the result ...

Busy Saturday

We spent the last weekend at The Gardens. We reached there about 12pm and met my brother, sister-in-law & their daughter Shayn-E at the lower ground food court. We had porridge, 'yau zha guai', soy milk & 'tau fu fa' for lunch. After we have taken the lunch, we just hang out there and my sister-in-law went to salon to trim & rebonding her hair.

We left from The Gardens at about 6pm and went to Kg Kayu Ara which is nearby Bdr Utama for seafood dinner. My sister & bro-in-law met us there. We finished the dinner and reached home almost 9pm. What a busy Saturday!

Wherever he is, JD (柞希）always carrying his toy cars along. He likes to line-up his toy cars on the table.

My parents with their beloved grandchilds - Shayn-E, JD (柞希) & KV. JD always carrying his blue bag wherever he go and the bag is always full of toy cars.

Me & JD (柞希). I seldom taking photo with my children bcoz I'm always the cameraman who holding the camera. Sigh!
KV did not dare to open her mouth bcoz the front primary teeth was gone. Hi Hi Hi !We have finished all seafood and left shells & tissues all over the table.

Watermelon Mooncake

Last Saturday, I went to Mid-Valley with my family. I passed by one shop which selling fruitmooncake and I saw this very cute moon cake - Watermelon. The watermelon moon cake's crust is 'snowskin' (冰皮) with watermelon flavour and the fillings are lotus seed paste mixed with dragon fruits. The taste was nice, not oily and not so sweet.

I bought the apple moon cake as well. The apple moon cake's crust is 'snowskin' with apple flavour and fillings just as normal moon cake, lotus seed paste with a yolk.

Impressive Intellectual

I read this yesterday, just wanna to share with you all.


You are more concerned about impressing others with your competence than in being happy today. You need to know that you are loved because you are good at what you do. But even if you are capable, beautiful and well liked, you still may feel unfulfilled. Look beyond appearances - yours and others - to discover what really matters.

Kung Fu Panda

Recently, JD (柞希) is addicted to Kung Fu Panda. He is watching this animated film repeatedly everyday. He almost watches it 4 times a day, like on medication; Morning before school, after school, evening after nap and before sleep. Every scene, he still very excited even though he has been watching it for n times.

Kuala Lumpur

Few weeks ago, I went to Renaissance Hotel for lunch, I took few photos of KL city view. That day the weather was good, the sky is clear & blue.
