Happy New Year 2016!

Happy New Year to everyone I know and care about - my family, my friends, my students, my colleagues (both overseas and in Singapore). Make 2016 a good one!

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year. May 2013 bring you good health, wisdom, love and all that you wish for!

We started the first day of the new year by going to the temple to pray for the new year. I pray that the girls will have a good start to the new school year. :)
After our prayers, we went to The House of Robert Timms, Wheelock Place for brunch/ lunch. The House of Robert Timms serves Australian food. :) What a great start to the new year with my Stout Braised Kangaroo Loin ($26.90) served in stout brown sauce with carrots, zucchini, mashed potato and cripsy puff pastry!! :) I just love roo meat! :P Most of the kangaroo meat pieces were tender (a few pieces were tough but I could bear with it) and tasty with the sauce.

Marieann had Garlic Cilantro Prawns Spaghetti ($20.50). The pasta was spicy as chilli flakes were added although it was not stated to be so in the menu. I am surprised that Marieann managed to finish most of her spaghetti before the spiciness got to her. The prawns were really fresh.

Juliane ordered from the Kids' Menu, Sausage and Eggs Combo ($9.80): cheesy chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, toast and baked beans and fruit salad. She enjoyed her eggs and sausage.

The girls' father had French Toasts with Fresh Fruits ($11.80). We all shared a Pot of Clams in White Wine. The clams were tasty and the sauce was delicious.

Both Marieann and I had dessert: Red Velvet Cupcake with cream cheese ($5.60) and Lemon Crumble Bar ($5). The cupcake was yummy and the lemon crumble bar had the right balance of sour and sweet. :)

A great meal and it is a GREAT start for the NEW YEAR. :)

Happy 2009, Happy Birthday Marieann (in advance)

Happy New Year to all! May 2009 be bright and cheerful for everyone. :)

We celebrated Marieann's 7th birthday today (one day in advance) because tomorrow, her birthday, is also the first day of school on her birthday. We invited my cousins, a close family friend aunty, my good friend Hoon and her parents and the in-laws for Marieann's birthday lunch. My mother prepared and cooked Marieann's favourite food - Mango Chicken Rice, Fried Wanton, Braised Pork Bun, and Braised Eggs. In addition, she also prepared Fruit Salad, her new dish, Crispy Roast Pork, Vegetable Wrap and Chinese Yam with Pork Ribs Soup. Everyone enjoyed the birthday lunch. After lunch, we brought out the birthday cake. Coincidentally, it was also my friend, Hoon's Chinese birthday. So Marieann and Hoon celebrated their birthdays together. :)






Marieann was really happy and greatly enjoyed her birthday party , even though it was celebrated one day earlier.

Happy New Year! Happy 2008!

New Year isn't just about party, fireworks, ... It is also about togetherness and warmth...

To my family,

Here's wishing you a New Year sparkling with hopes for a bright future, sparkling with affection and love, sparkling with happiness, success and joy. Happy 2008 to you!


To my friends,

Some things are better when they don't change with time like our friendship and the great times we share! New Year is the best time to tell you anew... for your loving, caring and sharing ways... I will always cherish your friendship in my heart. Here's to our friendship and living it up in the New Year. Happy 2008 to you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Happy 2008!

love, kisses and hugs,
