Congratulations to Navin & Ranjit

March 13, 2009 dixonthum

It’s so happy to see another couple got married… This round, it’s Navin & Ranjit. The colourful celebration in Sunway was indeed an enjoyable one for everyone. Mein & I tried one of the Sikh’s traditional food called "Aloo Tikki" and loved it! It’s some sort like a piece of mashed potato served with sweet, sour and spicy sauce on it plus some preserved vegetables. Very good appetizer.

I wish both Navin & Ranjit happy forever and may them be blessed with happiness and joy in their life…

Ideas from IKEA

March 4, 2009 dixonthum

IKEA is having their sales now. We went there to survey some ideas for our future house. To my surprise, the price for their items/ furniture are not as cheap as they claimed in their ad. But we still enjoyed ourselves their strolling along the alley and looking at their showrooms.

They also have some stations with 3D interior design software for us to use and get a feel of our home with decorated with IKEA’s furniture and all. The system is quite easy to use where you just key in the measurements of the room (kitchen/ bedroom/ work room only available) and drag in your chosen IKEA furniture in from a list. Then click 3D view to have a look at your future room from the computer.

Not now???!!!

February 20, 2009October 4, 2010 dixonthum

Ma and I were busy baking a cake last night. Ma wanted to bring it for her friends the next day. Eventually, we started doing the process around 8 something (which I had to sacrifice my favourite Taiwan comedy drama – 不良笑花)… I helped to shave the orange rinds… while ma busy measuring the flour, sugar, eggs and butter… Then we stirred the ingredients accordingly and then the dough was ready for the final step – OVEN time!!!

Suddenly… "dup!"… BLACKOUT!!!

OH NO!!! Not now… what should we do now? With the raw dough… Haha… well, ma had to brought the dough to her friend’s house to bake it and bring the cake back… I think this is the best baking experience one could ever have…

Valentine’s Present for Mein

February 15, 2009February 15, 2009 dixonthum

Here is my present for Mein during this year’s Valentine’s. It’s a small booklet of photos compiled starting from the time when we were still friends in UUM until the time we got registered. I used recycled materials like used book & used papers to make this booklet as a gesture of supporting recycling campaign. Not all expensive gifts are good and not all good gifts are expensive! It’s the heart that counts…

And by the way, we did not have any fancy romantic dinner and all. We just had a normal KFC lunch and a very normal dinner at home… WHY??? Because we do not look like those fools who are rich enough to pay for extra expensive dinner or roses… Oops! 🙂

One Day Preparing for Papa’s Birthday

February 10, 2009 dixonthum

We used one day to prepare all the food for papa’s birthday. His birthday is on the 12 Feb but we celebrate it earlier as it was a public holiday yesterday. We went shopping for all the raw food and ingredients for the cake and steamboat dinner.

In the afternoon, May started to bake the cake while I wash and clean the sotongs. I also washed and cut the vegetables. Later in the evening, I blended a jar of super spicy chili sauce!!! My favourite!

Then, we had our steamboat of various choices…

After dinner, I prepared the special fruit punch – longan + orange + Excel isotonic drink + red wine (optional)… Refreshing… Ahhhhhhhh….

Surprise! Surprise! Later, May took out the cake and we sang Happy Birthday song for pa… and "swallowed" the whole cake together… Yum Yum… It’s an orange cake, recipe from Ah Yin auntie. We also had some JCO donuts too, courtesy of Jacky…
