Daddy's Love

Father's Day is coming soon and what do you plan for your dad? It's this Sunday, 17 June 2007. Nothing? No plan yet? Don't know? Hey!!! Come on. What is this? Don't you think your dad is important?

This is what I realise - when it's Mother's Day, you can see every kids in the family is so excited. Go shopping and plan where to go for dinner but when it comes to Father's Day, it more quiet down. Even the cakes in the bakery are not so sell able. Why is this happening? What is going wrong here?

Daddy's are as important as mummy, ok? Just that their duty are different. I can understand how certain kids feel towards their dad but no matter what, that is our dad. A month ago when I were on my "Jalan Jalan Cari Makan" trip in Bidor, I saw this girl who slap her dad. I do not know what were the conversation. I were sitting inside eating and I hear her screaming her dad and then slap him twice. They were selling fruits outside this shop. I get really mad and wanted to walk to her and tell her off but I did not. I have forgotten to take some photos and post it for all of you to see. No matter what, it's not rite for us as their kids to hit them. NO!!!

Daddy's also have got their job to do as a family leader. They may not spend as much time as mother with us but do you know what do they do outside? Working hard to make a living for the family. Make sure that all of us have enough food to eat, have clothes to wear and a good and proper shelter to live in. I were so touch when I read about what Kenny Ng wrote about his dad. You hardly find a guy who write like that. I kept silence for a while and thought of my dad. What he had done for me and the family. Honestly, I have not get beaten or punished by my dad before. None at all! Until today, I am already in my 30's, he still call to check whether I am ok or not. Yes, that is what he does even though I am already a wife to someone and a mother of 2 kids. That is my dad. On my birthday, he will be the first to call to wish me Happy Birthday. I still remember when I were still young and everytime when I get my punishment from my mum, he will be the one who rescue me. Hahahaha........................... We hardly have time to talk but when we do, we will talk non-stop. I still remember when I told my parents that I will be joining a Bread Showcase Competition, my dad is so 'kun cheong'. Ask my mum whether can I do it afterall who am I to challenge the chefs. He knows if I wanted something, I will go all the way out to do it, not matter what. He was also the first person to call me to ask me how was everything and he were so afraid that I feel sad if I lost. I told him, I got a 4th placing where they award me a Diploma. He was so happy. That is DADDY!!!

My hubby is a person who love to cook but will later mess up my kitchen. That is what I don't like. Why??? I got to clean it up mah. Last few days, my hubby told me that I don't need to cook dinner for my son and he say we will go out for dinner. Later, I hear some noise from the kitchen and discover he wanted to cook something. So, I asked him what is he doing. He said, he wanted to cook something for my son who is going to come back soon from nursery. So,he ask me to go out and not to disturb him. Cheh!!! Now he think he can cook better liau. Later, I also peep at him. Hahaha............ he is doing steam rice for his son. See!!! A daddy can also cook for his son even though mummy is around. Want to see what he had done?

Frying turkey ham, garlic, onion with some butter. Later add in the rice

After that, place it in a bowl. Add an egg in it. This is a different one. He used the porcelain with a cover one. I used that to double boil soup.

After that, he place some cheddar cheese on top. Apa lagi? He wanted to do steam cheese rice. Then, steam it for about 10 minutes.

This is how it looks like after 10 minutes of steaming.

Later, I asked him whether will my son like it or not and he said "off course, I cook with love leh" *give him a funny face look*. When, my son came back he was whispering in my son ear then his son smile and he look at me back with a funny look. What is this 2 male talking about har? So, he say he wanted to feed his son. My hubby asked me to go ahead with what I am doing and he will settle all the things. Good!!! After 15 minutes, they walk out and I were surprise. He smile and said, "finished liau lo". Let's go for our dinner. My son like that??? OMG.....................

Actually, I steal some to taste and it's not that bad after all leh. So, I asked my hubby how he does it and here is my hubby recipe

1 bowl of rice

2 slice of turkey ham

some chopped garlic and onion

1 tablespoon of butter

1 egg

1 slice of cheddar cheese (break into a few pieces)

Soya sos - he used the malay soya sos which is a little bit sweet. Cap Kipas Udang

Optional : Mix vegetables or any other veges that you like

Fried the onion and garlic with butter. Then, place in the turkey ham. Stir a while and add in the rice. Then, pour in the soya sos. Mix well and put in the bowl. Break the egg on the rice and top it with some cheese. Steam it for 10 minutes. Ready to serve.

So, give it a try and tell me whether you like it or not.

Dear readers, daddy is someone important and special too. Do plan some activities and have fun celebrating Father's Day. Me? I still haven't decide whether I want to cook or take him out. My dad love to eat at home. So, most probably I will cook and make him a cake. My dad is a pastry lover - cakes, bread and cookies are his all time favourite. Most important, I love my dad!!!

To my hubby - this kids are so glad to have you as their dad. You never fail to shower them with your love. No matter how tired you are from work, you still spend good time with them. You are 1 of the world best daddy. I am so proud of you!!!

What do you like to read from someone blog??? Last time (before I really get to know what is blogging all about) I just wonder why people like to read blogs and why someone love to write a blog. To me people are writing a blog are mainly to share their experience with you. Readers pulak leh they want to find out some information, laughter or jokes and bla bla bla bla................

For me, the same!!! I am writing to share and also picking up something to occupy my free time. When I read someone blog is when I find them interesting and informative.

Steam Egg

I wanted to steam egg for my kids but I do not want to do the usual way. Very 'sian' already. So, I decided to do something different and also added something else to enhance the flavour. Very adventurous hor? Hahaha.............

When it's done, I it tasty and wanted to share the recipe with all of you.

3 eggs

1 salted egg yolk (used a fork to break the yolk into smaller size)

180g water

3 filament stick (slice small)

30g green beans

some chop onion

1/2 cup of yau char kueh (cut small)

salt & pepper for taste

1. Beat eggs and add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

2. Add in salt and pepper to your taste.

3. Pour into a plate and steam for 10 minutes on high fire or till cooked.

Note : Make sure your water is boiling when you place your egg to steam. Do not place anything to steam when the water is not boiling.

This is my steam egg. The picture did not look so clear because I am the photographer. Bad photographer, hor? My kids love it so much.

Beware Who You Are Looking At!!!

As usual before I go back to my shop, me and my hubby will go for our breakfast. Must feed ourselves well before we start to work mah......... So, today we decided to go for Indian breakfast - Tosai. The shop that we went to were quite crowded this morning. Found a place, sit down and order our food. Me and my hubby like to look around what are going on and kepo sikit lor. Sitting in front of us were a lady and a man. This man is from Public Mutual Fund and he was explaining some plans to this lady. I were whispering to my hubby that nowadays are very hard to cari makan. So, he giggle and nod his head. Why I say that? Hey it's only 8.30am leh and he is so busy working liau. Hardworking sales person. Very hardworking!!!

They left after 15 minutes and we were about to finish our food. This guy came back and stand in front of us. At first, we thought he left something behind and wanted to ask us if we see it. But, we were wrong. He pass us his card and told us that his friend say we were looking at them just now and maybe we are interested with the plan. My hubby say no but he insisted to pass us his business card. Then, he left. The two of us laugh and find him stupid.

Will you do what this guy is doing????

HELP!!!!

I am leaving to Beranang this Friday and I do not know is there any hotel in Kajang. Wingz advised me Metro Inn but they are so 'laku' - fully booked liau. Anyway, I wanna thanks him for helping me. So, do any of you know where can I find a hotel or inn in Kajang.

I do not need a exclusive hotel coz I will arrive there late and the next day I will check out early to drive to Beranang to pick up my sister who has finally completed her National Service training. Finally...................... I am no good in KL route so it's better for me to fidn a hotel or inn nearer to Beranang. Bit Nee, don't think I can pay you a visit this time too. Sorry. But, I am planning for a trip to KL maybe in July or August. I wanna join Wingz, Kenny and a few of them for a golf session. I am not a golfer but would like to go and kepo. Believe me, I have never been to driving range, ok? Never, even my hubby is a golfer - used to be................. he gave up after we had our 1st baby. So, the golf sticks are for deco at home now. Hahaha................

So hor, if any of you know there is a hotel or inn in Kajang, please share with me. Wingz did told me there are quite a few 'chicken den' there wor. What for??? If duck one ok lar. Chicken??? Aiseh!!!

Best Friend

How many good friends or best friend that you have? How long is your relationship?

I guess everyone do have at least a good or best friend, rite? One of my best friend, Bit Nee -soon to be mummy in few months time. I am so excited. Macam lar, I am going to give birth. Hehehe........... I love babies but 2 are enough for me. My kids are the active type so, we can't take care of another one liau. Moreover, it's not cheap to raise a kid, ok? I and Bit Nee had known each others for almost 20 years liau. Wow!!!! That is so so long, hor? Still remember our olden days. The 2 of us are so siew where we can hang on the phone to talk for hours until we kena scolded. But, still tarak takut. The next time, we talk again. Btw, that time I were from Taiping and Bit Nee is from Batu Gajah. So far leh? I think our record is about 3 hours on the phone. Ya ya ya.............. I know you all sure say hor, porridge also can cook liau. You will also ask what the hell are the 2 of us talk until so long. Apa apa also the 2 of us can talk one - food, study, school, friends, books and bla bla bla. The 2 of us call each other quite often too. Sometimes, it can be 3 -4 times in a week. The minimum that we talk on to the phone is 1 hour plus. We are not 'long winded' (cheong hei) but there are so many things we can talk about.

Now, I am so glad she is pregnant. Hmmm..................... I have got a son at the age of 4 and a girl at the age of 2. So, if she happen to have a girl then, I can ask my son to go after her daughter lor. LOL.

So, how long do you know your good friend and what is the best things that you like to do together.

Have A Nice Weekend. For me, I will go cari makan again. Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan. Let me share with you things that I do during this weekend and in case I find something interesting, I will kepo and share with all of you.
