Preview of my new HairDo!


A preview of my newly chopped locks! Gosh! I am so brave! I finally did it! Of coz heartpain la but being practical wins over vanity this time round. The weather's finally too hot for me to take. I've never had my hair cut so short since Sec 1 ok!

Definitely a "breakthrough"!

Food Fair@Expo!

Mabel & I went to Expo to check out the Food Fair, Robinsons & Popular Fairs on Saturday. Phew! It was so tiring as we walked & walked & shopped & ate for hours! Feet ached like mad after that!

She bought 12 ice-cream cones, nicely packed in a ice-cooler bag

Me & my fav. multi-grain bread

Owl brand Kopi-C Kosong...like the dark blue cloth bag with the owl print on it though.

Fresh hot crispy waffles with warm Belgium to-die-for Belgium chocolate

Utterly melt-in-your-mouth yam paste with ginkgo nuts from Teochew City Restaurant. I can eat this forever & ever! :P

Healthy Jap Food b4 Cell!

Was blessed by a simple & healthy Japanese meal by Sharon, that was delicious, fast & ez to cook & amazingly wonderful!

Fresh plump cherries bought from the wholesaler at Pasir Panjang

Soba noodles. You have to soak it in iced water after boiling it

Must place in a nice Jap tray, eat already then got mood k!

U can do the same thing with udon noodles too

This is the special soya sauce that you dip your chilled noodles in. It's very flavourful & just a little goes a long way!

Dried sea kelp, supposed to be good for your hear & skin

All you have to do is to soak it in hot water till it expands, drain it & season it with sesame oil & salad dressing

Yellow pickle, my mom's fav!

Juicy oranges to finish the meal on a sweet note!

Interesting Random Snacks in School


Chocolate-covered dates from Dubai from a kid's dad.

I hate dates but the chocolate made it easier to go down. There was a crunchy almond in the middle too!

Twiggies: Chocolate flavour! Vanilla one is not bad too. $1 for 2 pieces from the school canteen. Sinful but so shiok!

Nice rojak: only crunchy you char kuay at the coffeeshop when we go for our weekly walks.

This is not exactly a snack. They looked so cute, I just had to post it up! Look carefully, each of them have different intricate details leh!

I Can't Bake Cookies for Nuts!


I added too much vegetable oil into this mix. Instead of 1/4 cup, I added 1/2 cup thus the liquidy texture.

This one came out quite fine





The first batch that cannot make it & landed straight into the bin!







Ta da! Practice makes perfect what!

I Want to Go Further

It has been abt 3 years since I've obtained my DISE (Diploma in Special Education) qualification. Having worked in this field for close to 6 years, it is time for me to upgrade, update myself & renew my passion & increase my knowledge & expertise in this area.

How, what & when, I really don't know yet. All I know is that God has been placing the right people and connections along the way so far. I pray that in whatever decision I make in the end will be guarded by God's peace and blessed assurance.

Lord, may Your perfect will be done.
