All The Mess

On a typical day, this is how our living room looks like.

Toys on the sofa

Toys all over the coffee table

Blocks on the floor and Play Dough at the other end

Each time I clean up or get the lil' missy to clean up, she would take other things out. We have a 1-2-3 sofa seater at home and sometimes all the 3 seats will be filled with her toys. I have been throwing some old and broken toys away but I don't know why the toy baskets are still full. I have only one kid but just look at all the mess. Irene who came on Sunday said we have so many toys in the house that I can open a nursery *chuckle* Time to do some spring cleaning again.

You Got A Wish?

When we were at one of the malls recently, we saw Santa Claus, an elf, a gingerbread boy and a santarina walking around, greeting the shoppers. As soon as Ashley saw them, she clinged to me tightly. Later, Santa sat on a chair and the children sat next to him to take photos. I asked Ashley if she would like to sit next to Santa and have her photo taken and she said no. She even started to cry and pulled me away :)

Today I came across a site called SitOnSantasLap.com and had a fun time uploading a photo of Ashley on to the lovely CEIVA digital photo frame. She also enjoyed sitting on Santa's lap virtually and did not cry. It was so fun that I could not resist uploading my photo too. I hope Santa would grant my wish as well. Here is a photo of Ashley with Santa Claus and Santa's helper.

Want to know what my wish is? Check it out below :)

Our Visitors

I wrote about having some visitors to our home yesterday. Here is a photo of the cute little girl who dropped by with her parents.

Could you recognize her? She's none other than sweetie Krystal with her daddy and mommy. I finally get to meet Irene and her family. You look prettier in person, Irene ;) Well, Ashley had a great time playing with 'mei-mei' yesterday. I told her in the morning that we were expecting some visitors later in the afternoon and she kept asking me when is mei-mei coming. As soon as she saw Krystal, she was so happy.

The two girls playing together

It was nice to meet up with you, Irene. We have to get together more often. Ashley has been asking about Krystal :)

Our Tang Yuen

My mom woke up real early this morning to make the "tang yuen". She kneaded the rice flour and rolled them into small tang yuen. First she made 12 big ones to signify the 12 months in a year. Then the rest are small and medium sized ones.

The first step

Tang Yuen

Guess what this is?

Ashley wanted to help too and of course she took a pink one and started to roll it. It came out long and this is what she said, "Look, it's a snake". hahahahahahahahahaa

The colourful tang yuen cooking in the pot

My first bowl

I think I had about 3 bowls today *gasps*. This is the first time that Ashley had some too. No prize for guessing what colour she prefers :D So, did you eat any today? Btw, we have some visitors today. Want to know who dropped by? Don't forget to check back later *wink*

Gem of Life Episode 44

I can't wait to watch Gem of Life Episode 44. I'm still waiting for the drama to be available. Hopefully will get to watch it tomorrow. In the meantime, there is Gem of Life Episode 47 Preview available here.

Uh Oh.........

Since my recent brief bout of fever, my tastebud had changed. All of a sudden, I don't like having vegetable soup with fishball/beancurd for dinner. Neither am I keen on eating my ham or egg sandwich for lunch :( So what did I do? I make myself some blanched vegetable with oyster sauce dressing. I also added some fish balls or beancurds. The ingredients are the same as the vege soup actually. As for lunch, I make tuna sandwiches sometimes.

Then today, I strayed off from my diet. I had half a bowl of tau fu fah and 1/4 of a muffin. wawawawawawawawawa. I really regret having eaten that because I know tomorrow, being Dongzhi Festival, I will be gobbling down some "tang yuen". Sigh. I better be back on track on Monday.

Dear God,

Please don't let me fall off my diet wagon.

Please help me to stay motivated.

Thank You.

Happy Winter Solstice Festival

It's "Dongzhi" or Winter Solstice Festival already this coming Monday. Many people will be preparing and making "Tang Yuan" or glutinous rice balls. Mmmm.....delicious!!! My mom will be making them as usual. I hope Ashley would like eating them. Of course, I'll get mom to make more pink colour "tang yuan" since Ashley likes everything that's Pink :D Mom's glutinous rice balls are pretty simple with no fillings and they will be in different sizes and colours. She'll cook the balls in syrup water with pandan leaves. Maybe this year, I will try to make something different ;)

I wish everyone a Happy Dongzhi. See you on Monday :)
