my house

as recommended by Mrs Ha, i found this personality site interesting as i spent almost 15 minutes sketching this house of mine.... hehehe....


Based on my drawing and the 10 answers i gave this is a summary of my personality:

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

weird dream

i hv this weird dream(s) last nite(or early this morning)....... i can still remember it clearly.... dunno why.......

1st case
went to this company trip with my hubby....and when hubby reversed his car, accidentally scratch my colleague, rachel's car..... she straight away got into her car and drive it to bang my hubby's car :(

she then very pissed of me......... and don't want to lunch with my from that day onwards..... she then ask my hubby to compensate back RM 7,744.00........

2nd case
went to cinema, bought movie tickets but the seats are 3 front rows from the screen... but when we entered the cinema hall, the tickets are for the 1st front row from the screen... what the heck? i'm the type of person who insist getting what i have purchased/ promised...

and when i tell the usherer that i wanna complain, he answered "Please feel free to complain but the complaint place is further down the road"...and so, off i went to complain together with my boss, joanne wong......... if i don't remember wrongly, i did not manage to complain... dunno office close or wat.... forget oledi.....

back to the story, as we walk back to the cinema, we passed by many stalls selling sugar cane, roasted chestnuts etc......... but never bought anything..... and before we entered back the cinema hall, i need to use the toilet.... and guess what type of toilets that the cinema had there? i saw two toilet doors....

1st one is with the label MEN/ LADIES (one sharing toilet with a few cubicles inside)......... and 2nd one is for KIDS.... of course i chose the MEN/ LADIES one-lah... coz i'm not a kid mah....... bad luck..... the toilet was super dirty... with a lot of "maggi mee" lying on the floor..... sigh..... i need to use the toilet badly.... so, off i went to the KIDS toilet.... as i wanna lock the toilet door, someone(a lady) wanna use it too and i tried my best to close the door as she tried to push in....... then..... RRrriiiingg....... my alarm clock buzz off........

bb joo yee's update

my good fren, Hsiu Yea's bb girl is already one year old..... so happy for her and her hubby..... and this year, they joined us for our trip to KS on the 3rd day of CNY .....here are some of the cute pics i took of her before we went to KS for lunch.....

CNY day 3

as usual, since my uni days, most of my CNY is not complete without a trip to Kuala Selangor(KS) for house visiting & seafood lunch with a few good frens.....

and now from my new home at Setia Alam plus with the smooth road all along the way & no traffic jam, we managed to reach KS in about 30 minutes.... not bad huh.....

this time around, we went in two cars (hubby, me, mr yeoh, mrs yeoh, ms yeoh joo yee- one year old bb girl...... hehehe, jian yee & li sun).......... our usual local KS tour guide , boo guan's house was the 1st stop....

then... what else but the lovely seafood lunch at Sungai Yu Restaurant .....7 adults and one bb girl...... the meal cost us about RM 140.00 ++ (just about RM 20.00 per person)........ thanks hubby for the treat!

~ claypot tauhu ~

~ their famous "ikan bakar" with their specialty dippings ~

~ stir-fry kai-lan ~

~ fried oyster (this the only regret of the day coz it's too "flour" ) ~

~ "kam heong" mantis prawn ~

~ butter sotong ~

~ salted egg yolk crab ~

white dragon fruit jelly

what else that i can prepare to welcome back my hubby from his business trip? JELLY lor.... and this time around, i used fresh fruit, the white dragon fruit......... surprisingly this fruit which i bought when i went shoping with my parents at Petaling Street turned out to be real SWEET....

made in U.S.A.

i got this pack of microwave popcorn from my dear fren, Mr Ha who has just returned from his US business trip... haven't try it yet... wonder if it works and turn out like those cinema popcorn or not.... according to Mrs Ha, it is slighlty saltish compare to our malaysian version of popcorn... will later post a picture of the "cooked" popcorn... but dunno when lah....

Valentine's Day cum ROM

feb 14th.... valentine's day...... and oso my registration of marriage (ROM) 2nd anniversary... yup two years ago i was legally recognized as MRS LAM YEOW SIANG.... actually, i am still proud to use this title....... hehehe

it is just a week away from feb 14th...... hubby & i don't really celebrate it (valentine's or ROM anni).... we just go for dinner..... normal dinner as in not those special VALENTINE's set dinner.... call us "kiam siap" or anything but i just don't feel paying so much for those so called VALENTINE's dinner... really not worth it....

it would be nice if once a while on a "normal" day, my dear hubby can bring me to some fancy restaurant and hv a romantic dinner together.... no need for the reason to celebrate any special occasions... a surprise would be better * wink * wink*(for your hint, dear hubby)....

to me, what is more important is being with someone you love so much.... be it hubby, family, friends, colleagues etc...... enjoy their company on this special day or any other day.....

spend some quality time together with them (walk in the park, watch DVD, hv a candlelit dinner at home, listen to music, chat with them etc...)....

as for this year, it will be the 2nd time i celebrate valentine's without hubby around..... i can still remember the first year we "pak thor", i was in USM & he was in TAR college..... so called long distance relationship ah & we both are not so romantic until either one of us would actually volunteer to travel a few hundreds kilometres to spend the day together... in the end, both of us chat chat chat on the phone onli lor..... hmmm.... this memory still fresh in my mind.......

home cooked food

hubby's still in japan..... sob..sob... what did i do today? hmmm... cooked dinner for my lil' bro and sis coz my mum went out for CNY shopping..... this is the first time that they joined me & my parents-in-law for dinner... i actually cook one of my specialty dish & my MIL prepared the rest.....

PEGGY'S SPECIAL MARINATED CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS (serve for 2-3 persons)

2 chicken drumsticks
oyster sauce
abalone sauce
sesame oil
chinese cooking wine
1 teaspoon of sugar

* no measurements of the sauce/oil or wine coz it's up to individual taste. just make sure the meat are all covered/ marinated with the sauce *

STEPS:

- cut the drumstick to smaller pieces
- marinate the chicken with the oyster sauce, abalone sauce, sesame oil, chinese cooking wine & sugar
- then leave it in the fridge to marinate for at least four hours before cooking (i prefer to marinate it for at least one day in advance).
- add a little bit of oil to non-stick pan, use low fire and pan fried until the meat is cooked
- serve hot

Guang Liang - Tong Hua (with english subtitles)

being a "Banana", i still enjoy chinese songs even though i don't understand the meaning of the song.... and today on youtube.com, i found this music clip with english subtitles.... this song has won many awards... nice melody... meaningful lyrics... it is perfect...... just sit back & ENJOY!

fish leong - nuan nuan 暖暖

this music clip is dedicated to my good frens, the newly married couple, MR & MRS HA..... the main reason why i actually upload it is oso becoz it was requested by MR HA.... hehehehe...coz it was their wedding theme song lor (for their slide presentation)

I Knew I Loved You (my wedding theme song for my slide presentation)

so much memory.....

day 1

hubby just boarded the MAS flight to japan.. same place: utsunomiya.... now i'm counting the days for him to come back... it's just day 1 now but i'm already starting to miss my dear dear oledi.... got to wait till feb 16th, friday for him to come home... this means 13 days without him..... sigh...... and not to mention his next BT schedule is end of feb..... SIEN!

what to do.???...... he's not going there for fun... he oso poor thing.... now winter season there...... no home cooked food for almost two weeks.... and no PS2 games for him too.....

dear... if you are reading this, i miss you so much......

mcD

my fav fast food is at McDonald's.... fillet-o-fish burger especially.... and their McFlurry ice-cream with M&M's....... a day b4 hubby leave for japan.... i got him to bring me to McD to try one of their new CNY promo, the RED BEAN SUNDAE....
comment: it's so sweet..... i still prefer their strawberry sundae than this.... maybe you guys should try the other CNY promo, their pineapple sundae instead... it might be a wiser choice....

nata de coco jelly

hubby will be leaving to japan again for business trip, BT.... his schedule this time round: feb 4th to feb 16th........... and his next trip will be feb 24th to march 16th.....i will be so SIEN again.... hmm..i hope to find more time to go lepak-ing with family, "ji mui" and frens..... or else, maybe i should learn some new recipes to try out....

meanwhile, i made this jelly with longan flavoured nata de coco for dear hubby plus some for my frens as well... result: not so yummy.... don't plan to use it again next time... better stick to ribena jelly/ SUNQUICK orange jelly/ fresh fruit jelly/ other flavoured nata de coco jelly....
