人生中的过客

突然想起一个曾是我童年里的过客。
他,邻家的小孩...迷迷糊糊记忆里他好像是个混血儿。
婆婆是岜岜娘儿后裔...妈妈英文名叫Maggie
年龄大概大我一两岁吧...不记得他的全名...只懂得他叫Michael.

他是香蕉仔而我的英文半桶水,语言上是有点障碍但还可以天天在厨房里爬上椅子与他交谈。

经典的是我想问他"你要吃我婆婆种的芒果吗?"那时候的我并不懂芒果的英文名,只好酱问他‘Do you want to eat my grandma's "suan kia"'

从此这就变成了我一生的笑话,家人常模范当时我念 'suan kia’的发音。是有点洋人说福建话的感觉啦...

可惜..他在我五六岁那年就搬走了。
从此就没在联络,只晓得全家搬到吉隆坡。
不知这位曾是我生命的里的过客现在还好吗?

注:"suan kia" - 福建话@芒果。

The Real masak-masak

Being away from home, it makes me craving for dishes that used to prepare by my grandmother. Although she never taught me how to prepare, but base on my imaginary and common sense I tested out a couples of dishes.

How it taste? Hahaha.. I think is Okie.. It meet my expectation. (Of coz la… will not condemn own cooking)

Grandma’s old cucumber soup (For 1-2pax)
Ingredient:
1 Old Cucumber, 2 Tomatoes, 100gram of pork ribs, approx 1litre of water, little bit of salt.

Direction:
Wash all the ingredient --> throw into a pot and start boiling. Timing? The longer the better. Add in salt when it almost cook. (Base on individual preference)

hc01

hc02A bowl of rice flooded with old cucumber soup is an ideal meal for dinner.

Baked Bean with Egg (For 1-2pax)
Ingredient: Canned bake bean (Must be Ayam Brand). 2 Eggs (Depend on your preference, If you are not an eggy person then opt of 1 egg.)

Direction: Fried the egg, add in bake bean. Done!

My first time preparing this, I mix the egg and bake bean so ended up with weird bake bean and it’s different from the one was prepared by my grandma. Later on, I realize that the egg need to be fried first. =.=”

OR like that.

Momo The Monster

Momo - it means Peach (桃)in Japanese.
Momo - the name of our cat

Photos that make us adopted her without any hesitation


Hello I'm Momo-chan..


Little monster in action




Get Ready to attack!
That's the way she attack prince albert from the back


*yawn* I'm sleepy


Self Stenching...


Ready to sleep... (Act cute)
All photos above received from Itching on 10/04/2006 :)

Momo's
first week at home. She was so active running around the house.
This is the best shot I can get while chasing after her for photo taking.

Later on, we came back from Kuching and my aunt bought this basket..opss it's handbag. Before she can be the first person to use it, Momo has conquered it.

It has been 3 years she is with us. She is now a playful, naughty, possessive, big bully cat yet still maintain her loveliness in front of us. (Typical cat behaviour)
