Mid Autumn & Birthday Lurve

MOONCAKES

What does Mid Autumn Festival means??? Besides lantern and moon grazing. Though officially ended yesterday, it means MOONCAKES and more mooncakes. Plenty of mooncakes but only a handful of them are halal. I remembered vividly that I never fancy mooncakes when i was young, i will only take the baked skin and pass the whole lotus paste filling to my grandma. HahHahaa...bad me....and snowskin mooncakes only make their debut years later and everyone loves snowskin for it's cooling taste.

After tasting Polar's exorbitant snowskin mooncake, i have given up in finding a 'real' chinese mooncake. Then came along Prima Deli (2nd halal bakery here), i risked my $7+ for a piece of red bean baked skin mooncake. YUCKS!! Hard and totally no taste except the red bean paste.

All hopes were not lost UNTIL my colleague introduced me to Amway Baked Skin Mooncakes. I was skeptical initially as Amway is popular for their housecleaning detergent, LOC and not for food. I went ahead and purchase as they are even cheaper than the local bakery here.

4 different flavours only costs $29, SUPER CHEAP!!! where to find such price now and 4 different flavours and it's HALAL!!! I bought the Four Season collection which consists of White Lotus (reduced sugar), Flaky Skin White Lotus with Yolk, Green Tea & Red Bean and Golden Chestnut (reduced sugar). Behold....it's sooooo good that i can't described. It's soft, nice fragrance of baked skin, authentic and aren't dry at all. Soooo good that i have already consumed 2 boxes of it, ALONE!!! Even my chinese colleagues are buying in bulk ok!

Heard that Amway sold more than thousands of mooncakes yearly and even if you are rich, when the stocks are gone, it is gone!! I'm going to grab 3 boxes next year!!

Sorry, that's all i snapped as I forgotten to take the contents. Too busy consuming them.

Imagine my happiness (to the max) when Hub's colleague (thank you!!!) gave him a box of durian snowskin mooncakes few days later! That's what life is supposed to be, enjoyment of the best food. D24 durian puree in cold and chewy snowskin. Yummy!!

They have a branch in taka

In fact i'm eating them as i'm typing these now

BIRTHDAYS (today and belated)

Today is the birthday of my dearest, irritating and farty bro in law. Happy Birthday!!! May you have bashful of hair happiness eternally. As usual with the tradition which started in August, we made a card for him!!! Same photo frame cum birthday card as sop's.

Her masterpiece

I spelled, she write and she draw. So cute right???

Granny's belated

We brought my granny to T3 for a tour and birthday dinner. She hasn't been to the airport for many years and since it's her birthday....we headed to Earle Swensens for dinner, i warned them that the prices there are different from Swensens and food aren't that great and we end up with $200+ bill for a meal that got everyone complaining about.

On our way to Changi Airport T3 - the sunshine babes

What we gobbled on- BBQ Chicken (so-so), Seafood Pasta (which my granny luved)

and Lobster Baked Rice (no taste of cheese at all)

The attendees

Birthday gal, she's so adorable right?? I mean my granny, she's already 93 years old!!

My dramatic gal

Happy 43rd Singapore

Happy 43rd Singapore!! Sorry was a little tad late in wishing 'you', the weather has been bad. Heavy rain make me so lazy and i seized every opportunity to sleep whenever i can PLUS the hyperness of the Bejing Olympics 2008, how can i miss all world breaking records moments???? Michael Phelps is like a flying fish!!!! He will take his time to swim during the first 2 laps and speed like a ferrari on the last, making his competitors impossible to catch up with him. Totally abnormal!

We stayed at home during National Day since Eili is down with flu and slight cough, which later turns out to be tonsillitis (tonsils). Sigh, 2nd time within 2 weeks but luckily this time round, there's no sign of fever..yet. The sky is celebrating the nation's 43rd as well, see what we saw outside our windows:

the rainbow is fast fading

Eili has been deprived of her usual dose of cartoons ever since Olympics started, especially when the swimming events are shown. Well, i took this chance to introduce to her the different kind of sports and the countries these sport people are from. Heee...it's a good distracting strategy also...Now i am just waiting for the track & field events...

Happy Birthday, BaoBei

Without fail, every year this day i will reminisce how i delivered her to this earth. Starting from the brown spotting on 6th July to the period where i had my contraction at the labour ward towards delivery.

It's has been four years already and it's seems so long, though i still prefer the stages when she's learning to talk and walk, so cute. Now it's pure torturement with some fun. It's not all that bad, just that after a day of work and cooking dinner, the last time you wish is to endure her tantrums. All these for a declaration of her love to us, PRICELESS!

Still she is part of me and i will always live for her...for that I LOVE YOU, my darling gal....

There you go, that sums up a 3 days celebration for a 30 yo woman which is quite divattention. Well if those msian artistes can marry for 7 days 7 nights, i am sure a 3 days are quite reasonable for me. I actually have more hilarious photos taken in office but i am sure my GANG will ripped me apart if i post it here. Hahaa.

Happy to me

Happy Birthday Angela!

Happy ____ Birthday Babe! (pls fill in your desired age)

She has been a very wonderful 'neighbour' who has been feeding me well, amph....not in term of food. I was always given breakfast, lunch, tea time and sometimes advance dinner...feeding well to my ears...wakaka...

Anyway, have a great year ahead and hopefully everything goes well to whatever you do.

2 more days to CNY...

3 more days to Batam but i don't have the mood to celebrate or enjoy as my lil baby is down with swollen tonsils. I'm just afraid her condition might worsen in Batam. Plus, something is due but yet to arrive so all these add up to my worries. Gosh...arghh
