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…

Something Fun to Do…

February 8, 2009February 10, 2009 dixonthum

It’s the 13th day of the Lunar New Year and we went to a party on The Chia Clansmen Association of KL. Ma joined this association not long ago. It’s an association for anybody with the surname of Chia "谢". Since it’s not a frequent event, we accompanied ma to this event just to see what kind of activities they do in these kind of associations. I am actually looking for the similar association for the THUMs "谭"… Haha! Anyone knows where can I find them? 🙂

The party is held in their HQ in KL along Jalan Kampong Attap. Food was served to all guests on the rooftop, while their performances were shown in their small hall. It was quite fun… listening to some "amateur" karaoke singers and watching their "same steps" line dance…

Views from the rooftop…

These were the only thing left AFTER the dinner… BEFORE – food covered the whole full table!!!

Ma joined a game but didn’t win any prizes. But it was fun though…

The God of Wealth distributing angpows… RM5 each!!! 🙂

Got Appetite for This?

I saw this aquarium of frogs in a restaurant. They were big and jumping around actively… Dare to put them in your mouth?

"Hi! My name is Mr. Froggy. Wanna taste me?"

You Know What I Did This CNY – On Demand

February 5, 2009February 5, 2009 dixonthum

I was about to skip talking about my CNY but due to popular demand, I’ve decided to update generally what I’ve done during the CNY 2009. Basically, nothing special happened. Haha! As usual, went to visit relatives and friends. First day, back to Sentul. Second day in Cheras. Third day to sixth, in Penang (and back). Really nothing happened…

*thinking thinking* On the fourth day morning, my ex-room mate called me and broke a shocking news to me. His friend (whom I know) met with an accident and passed away. It was indeed very sad to know someone we know is no longer with us (especially during the festive season)… I pray for his soul to rest in peace.

The two lanterns Mein made. Decorating the main hall of the house in Sentul.

Mischievous Kin Kin… and Ah Boy… my cousins…

Thanks popo for the delicious dinner!!!

Gathering with friends from UUM… in Kenny Rogers @ Queensbay Mall. Basically, I was there in Queensbay Mall 3 days in a row… doing nothing… Hahaha!

Thanks Hong Wai (Mein’s brother) for the lunch in Sakae Sushi… My favourite dish – Baby Octopus!!! Yum Yum!!! And there is this special dish called Soft Shell Crabs… Price – quite reasonable…

Hong Wai’s new house… Currently, his plan is to rent out the unit…

Thanks auntie for the tasty home dishes, which I miss sooooo much!!!

The cute lucky cow which brought luck to 5th Uncle when he’s at the table! Haha! He did this very cute slogan… "牛转乾坤" and make circles with the cow… to bring him luck… very cute…
