Happy 2008!

After so much Christmas partying, we decided to do something different for our New Year countdown... We booked a six star seaview resort...

Here's our resort, we were not alone..

Ready for home sweet home...

Yummy Yummy Food...

I was in the kitchen one day when Ning came in and said this to me...

"mama I wan eat some yummy yummy food peas..." she put together all the singular words she knew and form this sentence on her own. And thats the longest sentence I've heard from her so far... see the power of food?

Whenever I say... " Ning Ning, say Mama I love you..."

She would say... "Mama love me too..."

Dong Zhi

I made some "tang yuen" with Ning on "Dong Zhi"... She sure had fun!

"mama .. can?"
"mama.. see..."

yummy!

A Merry Christmas

December is my favourite month in the year, I love the mood of Christmas. Now that its over and I'm glad my life has finally gotton back to normal, I found myself standing in front of the oven today, thinking .. what do I NEED to bake today.. I've been baking so much I feel weird when I'm not baking... We had 5 parties. It's been a really busy month. Not to mention and the never ending mahjong sessions thats leaves my body aching all over... Overall, My family and I had a good season, we are looking forward to the new year.

That's Ning's very 1st pair of shoes, hanging on our X'mas tree...

Xmas Party 2007

My buddy and I host a xmas party at my place for our friends, It was one of the best xmas party I've had. Lots of friends, yummy food, wine and VERY VERY loud music. Thanks to the DJ - my hubby! We had our condo security officers knocking at our door right after midnight.. hehe... who cares, we all had fun!

We had personalised cupcakes to welcome our guests!

Amy baked this delicious turkey, it was very good! The whole bird was almost gone by the end of the night. I wonder what happen to the wish bone!

We had a dress code for our party.. Yes, White Christmas! Don't these guys look handsome in white?

We finished this much, whoever threw away the JD's cap and thought we could finished that too.. keke...

Fruit Cakes

I don't really like to eat fruit cakes, but I'm happy with the batch i baked for one of our xmas party. They are not dense and overly sweet like the traditional fruit cake. I can still taste the 5 different fruits I had in there, apricots, cranberries, rasins, pinapple, prunes. The trick to make your fruit cake well-liked - CUT DOWN ON THE SUGAR.
