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!

sad one

these days, DIVORCE seems to be a normal procedure for married couples who do not plan to stay together anymore....

D-I-V-O-R-C-E might just be a simple word but it means lot not onli to the couple but oso to their parents or loved ones (especially kid)....... coz it is the end of a union which was first solemnised by M-A-R-R-I-A-G-E.........

i hope that someone whom i know closely do not have to endure DIVORCE soon..... i still hope thay they have chance to get back together... it is not easy for two ppl to get together as husband & wife...

and i also hope that everyone of us here, do APPRECIATE YOUR LOVED ONES.......
we Malaysians....

yup... as a malaysian.... this scenario is almost a daily scene if you are like one of us who drives for work or leisure purposes.... nothing special.... just a normal scene taken while i was driving back from work today

Question of the day: Can u guys spot THE STUPID DUMMY CAR which tried to cut queue during a peak hour traffic jam???

donations for johor flood victims...
most of us have heard so much about the recent flood at johor... on thursday morning, 18/01/07 while listening to MIX.FM, I came across this message that they are organising a massive appeal for the Johor flood relief..... the items need to be sent to the collection centre by this weekend..... and then all the items will be delivered to Kluang on monday 22/01/07....

at first, i thought i could only collect a small amount of cash donations from my family & a few close friends to buy some items for the flood victim.... but with the help of my colleague joanne B and many others, we managed to raise about RM 640.00++ in just two days time.......!
so, last few days was a busy time for me......firstly, to collect donations, then buy the items (thanks joanne B, ivan & steven for helping to accompany me to GIANT to get all those items)....... & lastly delivered it to the collection centre near Atria (thanks hubby for being my driver!)
the 48 contributors are mainly our EI-CSD ladies, a number of TS-EI guys, my family members etc..... without their contributions, we would not be able to buy quite a number of things for the Johor flood victims..... a big THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed!

melvin's 26th birthday

08.01.07- my family celebrated my bro's 26th birthday with a simple meal of porridge at a nearby restaurant in Klang....

and later as usual, the birthday cake is the main attraction! we had our usual fav cheesecake... this time we had Secret Recipe Blueberry Cheesecake.. verdict: YUMMY... it's cheesy, the white cream not too sweet and it comes with a generous amount of blueberry as toppings.....
updates on chung wei...
SKY

my bro & his wife welcome a new addition to the family..... nope... it's not a bb but it's a puppy... hehehe.... with a simple name: SKY.... it is indeed a simple puppy.....

so, our mum has turn into a puppy-sitter ..... taking care of SKY while bro & wife at work... feeding, cleaning and even talking to SKY!

i myself is not a puppy/ dog lover... i don't mind seeing it from a distance but pleaseeee.... don't let it come near me..... i just don't feel like touching any puppy/ dog..... however, talking to SKY is not a bad idea.... coz SKY will look sleepy when I talk a lot....... hehehe.... * our parents (daddy & mummy, the "puppy sitter") *
* SKY's parents, hehehe..... *

* the cute and handsome SKY *
SUDOKU
i finally brave myself to try out this game of sudoku.... hehehe.... sound so exaggerating.... all this while i onli skip this game though it appeared in our daily newspaper... at first i was thinking how could ppl be so addicted to this game of numbers???...

the rule might be simple: complete the grid so that each row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit of 1 to 9 inclusive.

the first sudoku game i tried out was from the women's weekly magazine... it was more of a trial and error one:
for those who wanna try it out, you can check out NST online which has one daily sudoku game (each day the sudoku has different difficulty rating)..... and almost everyday b4 i start work, i will try to complete the NST online sudoku game.... maybe it can help me improve my mathematical skills?

penang trip...

yup... hubby & i was in penang.... a supposedly 3 days 2 nites trip turned out to be only 2 days and one nite....

reasons:
- not much places that we can go for jalan2 since penang was so crowded during the x'mas holidays
- still a lot of unpack boxes at our new home.....

main reason to go to penang: attend hubby's friend's wedding dinner

a summary of our short trip:

DAY ONE
dec 23rd- started journey about 9.30am.... in two separate cars, ours & hubby's friend GS, we stopped for breakfast at BIDOR for the famous duck thigh noodle... reached penang about 2.30pm....check-in to SUNWAY HOTEL.... went to nearby famous Penang Street laksa.....then wedding dinner at the FORUM chinese restaurant at Island Plaza... ended they day with "yum cha" at Gurney Drive... it was FOOD all day long.... hehehe

DAY TWO
dec 24th- visited one of my uncle, HOOI and family.... he treated us for lunch at town. hubby and i then headed to the newly opened shopping centre, QUEENSBAY MALL at Bayan Lepas(but not b4 getting jam around the complex due to MANY MANY PL were there as well)...we oso visited our friend, TEH & his gf, Vivian at his new home at Bukit Minyak(near Bkt Mertajam)....we had dinner b4 left for home...hubby & i reached home before midnight

conclusions: it was a nice trip to PENANG coz we get to go to so many places in two days time for visiting, some window shopping and not forgetting FOOD!



* one of the bakery shop at Queensbay Mall, rather cute name: Bread HISTORY! *
* Teh's new home at Bkt Minyak *
belated x'mas pics...

coloured jelly

this picture was taken two months ago when my mum asked me to try and add in some colouring for my plain looking "longan" jelly.... the colour turned out OK... maybe need to add a few more drops of the colouring to make it nicer....

hubby's away

my dear hubby is off to japan today for a 6 days business trip (again!).... each time my relatives/ friends would say how nice is it that he get to go to japan so frequently.... some of them wish that they are in my hubby's shoes.... and most of them will ask me, how come I don't follow him to his business trip?

but NO.... my dear hubby has set his rule very clearly.... I can never ever tag along with him to any of his business trip.... be it locally or overseas..... reason: BUSINESS is BUSINESS......

hmmm... i can accept that rule now after so many years(for the past 6 years, to be exact) coz i have been getting the same answer when I said I wanna tag along with him...... a big NO....

which means these days, I do not bother to repeat back the same question to my dear hubby: CAN I TAG ALONG, pleaseeeeee?

truthfully, which wife/ gf do not mind that their hubby/ bf to be frequently away for business trip? if i can tag along, "lain cerita" lor..... hehehe....

but I know that my dear hubby would prefer not to travel so frequently also if given the chance... and i know it's true.... coz he look sad each time before he travels... poor him....

miss you dear...

25 Reasons Why You Should Start Drinking Green Tea Now
(sharing this email article with all of you)

Green tea has increasingly become a very popular drink worldwide because of its immensely powerful health benefits. It is extraordinarily amazing what green tea can do for your health. And if you're not drinking 3 to 4 cups of green tea today, you're definitely NOT doing your health a big favor.

Here Are The 25 Reasons Why You Should Start Drinking Green Tea Right Now:

1. Green Tea and Cancer
Green tea helps reduce the risk of cancer. The antioxidant in green tea is 100 times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times better than vitamin E. This helps your body at protecting cells from damage believed to be linked to cancer.

2. Green Tea and Heart Disease
Green tea helps prevent heart disease and stroke by lowering the level of cholesterol. Even after the heart attack, it prevents cell deaths and speeds up the recovery of heart cells.

3. Green Tea and Anti-Aging
Green tea contains antioxidant known as polyphenols which fight against free radicals. What this means it helps you fight against aging and promotes longevity.

4. Green Tea and Weight Loss
Green tea helps with your body weight loss. Green tea burns fat and boosts your metabolism rate naturally. It can help you burn up to 70 calories in just one day. That translates to 7 pounds in one year.

5. Green Tea and Skin
Antioxidant in green tea protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals, which cause wrinkling and skin aging. Green tea also helps fight against skin cancer.

6. Green Tea and Arthritis
Green tea can help prevent and reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Green tea has benefit for your health as it protects the cartilage by blocking the enzyme that destroys cartilage.

7. Green Tea and Bones
The very key to this is high fluoride content found in green tea. It helps keep your bones strong. If you drink green tea every day, this will help you preserve your bone density.

8. Green Tea and Cholesterol
Green tea can help lower cholesterol level. It also improves the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol, by reducing bad cholesterol level.

9. Green Tea and Obesity
Green tea prevents obesity by stopping the movement of glucose in fat cells. If you are on a healthy diet, exercise regularly and drink green tea, it is unlikely you'll be obese.

10. Green Tea and Diabetes
Green tea improves lipid and glucose metabolisms, prevents sharp increases in blood sugar level, and balances your metabolism rate.

11. Green Tea and Alzheimer's
Green tea helps boost your memory. And although there's no cure for Alzheimer's, it helps slow the process of reduced acetylcholine in the brain, which leads to Alzheimer's.

12. Green Tea and Parkinson's
Antioxidants in green tea helps prevent against cell damage in the brain, which could cause Parkinson's. People drinking green tea also are less likely to progress with Parkinson's.

13. Green Tea and Liver Disease
Green tea helps prevent transplant failure in people with liver failure. Researches showed that green tea destroys harmful free radicals in fatty livers.

14. Green Tea and High Blood Pressure
Green tea helps prevent high blood pressure. Drinking green tea helps keep your blood pressure down by repressing angiotensin, which leads to high blood pressure.

15. Green Tea and Food Poisoning
Catechin found in green tea can kill bacteria which causes food poisoning and kills the toxins produced by those bacteria.

16. Green Tea and Blood Sugar
Blood sugar tends to increase with age, but polyphenols and polysaccharides in green tea help lower your blood sugar level.

17. Green Tea and Immunity
Polyphenols and flavenoids found in green tea help boost your immune system, making your health stronger in fighting against infections.

18. Green Tea and Cold and Flu
Green tea prevents you from getting a cold or flu. Vitamin C in green tea helps you treat the flu and the common cold.

19. Green Tea and Asthma
Theophylline in green tea relaxes the muscles which support the bronchial tubes, reducing the severity of asthma.

20. Green Tea and Ear Infection
Green tea helps with ear infection problem. For natural ear cleaning, soak a cutton ball in green tea and clean the infected ear.

21. Green Tea and Herpes
Green tea increases the effectiveness of topical interferon treatment of herpes. First green tea compress is applied, and then let the skin dry before the interferon treatment.

22. Green Tea and Tooth Decay
Green tea destroys bacteria and viruses that cause many dental diseases. It also slows the growth of bacteria which leads to bad breath.

23. Green Tea and Stress
L-theanine, which is a kind of amino acids in green tea, can help relieve stress and anxiety.

24. Green Tea and Allergies
EGCG found in green tea relieves allergies. So, if you have allergies, you should really consider drinking green tea.

25. Green Tea and HIV
Scientists in Japan have found that EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) in green tea can stop HIV from binding to healthy immune cells. What this means is that green tea can help stop the HIV virus from spreading.

How's that for only some of the health benefits that green tea has to offer you? Almost miraculous, I'd say. Now, your health is in your hands. You know you're smart. So, start drinking three to four cups of green tea every day for a drug-free and healthier YOU!

ETERNITY

do you believe in eternity?
i mean do you believe in lasting relationships?
be it friendship, marriage or love?

even before i got married, I alwiz believe that "EVERY BEGINNING, THERE IS AN ENDING"
and until today, I still do

how true is it? just see the number of ppl who broke up, divorce or losing a friend (for many reasons e.g. quarrels / accidents)

GOD has arranged things to happen for a reason.... i also believe that "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON (GOOD REASON)"

treasure the one you love for as long as you can( be it friends, family, hubby/wife etc).... we would not know when it will END but at least we were happy in the BEGINNING.....
chung wei

i finally manage to see my cute lil' nephew after almost two months when SIL dropped by yesterday... MIL no longer babysitting him... that explains why i have not uploaded any photos on bb chung wei...

updates on him: he can sit up... he can lay down and turn his body around and around... no more struggling....

interviews

i usually conduct the first level of interview for my boss (since she is so so busy with her work). I will then shortlist those "better" candidates for her. A few main points that i look for when I conduct interview.
  1. appearance: no need someone with a model look. we just need someone who is presentable.
  2. dressing: preferably formal (first impression is very important mah)
  3. application form: thank god if all candidates can fill up all the required info
  4. documents: i mean certificates & UPDATED passport size photo
  5. conversation skill: basic good spoken English (since we spend most of the time on the phone talking to customer)

(Un)fortunately today is not a good day for interviews. Today we had three (3) candidates.

Candidate A

- appearance: average
- dressing: semi-formal
- application form: i can onli see scribble of words......
- documents: no SPM certificate. reason given: dunno where she put it liao. no updated passpost size photo also. reason given: the shop that she goes to do not hv express photo service. hello! is that the onli photo shop around??? and i had actually informed her four days earlier to get ready for interview..... sigh....
- English: average

reason to leave current company: wanna join a bigger company like ours.... but our company not that big oso..... hehehe

Candidate B

- appearance: average
- dressing: very IN. thought she's going for modelling job
- application form: all info fill up......
- documents: all complete except of a UPDATED passport size photo (she brought one that has a young model look)
- English: below average

reason to leave current company: wanna learn more new things (but she onli work at her current company for about two months plus onli)


Candidate C

- appearance: below below average (sori to say but she reminds me of a drug addict)
- dressing: casual
- application form: all info fill up

- documents: all complete except of a UPDATED passport size photo (forgot to bring... good excuse huh???)
- English: below average

reason to leave current company: for a better working environment.... how good is GOOD?


IN CONCLUSION: it ain't easy to shortlist anyone of them for 2nd interview, rite? and this is so TRUE......
lovely

WHAT'S ALL THIS LOVE / HEARTS / HUGS .....?



it's actually my new quilt cover set bought from AUSSINO....... lovely isn't it?
