Do you cam-whoring?

I have a confession to make here.  I think I have new addiction!  Cam-whoring.

It means "To take pictures of either you or/and with your friends execessively".  And sometimes I think I were over-doing it too.  Lol!

When I was younger. I loved to take photographs, either I were the subject or behind the lens.  After I have kids, my kids are my models.  I seldom take pictures of myself since then. 

And I think my addiction came back after I got my new Samsung Galaxy III few months ago. Cam-whoring is so much easier with Samsung Galaxy and I enjoyed taking photographs with it.  Some more my kids are not around lately, so I have no one to take pictures, ended up I take pictures of myself.  But don't fret.  I only take when I am in full clothing.  *wink*

Have a great weekend guys!  So look forward to the month of December.  December, the month of joy!

Our corners

A peek at our home.  Special corners of our home. 

My Princess' room wardrobe with her favourite dolls and toys in one corner.  Also keep her kindergarden's certificate and trophies she had won. 



Baby Jay's room with his toys corner.  Not a lot because mostly are sealed in boxes.  Too many that I do not think we have enough spaces to display them all.  And I cannot imagine all those  dusting and cleaning I have to do if everything is up on the shelves.

Our family hall in the upper floor.  Suppose to be a tv hall for the kids but since we have not yet get sofa for the hall, I am turning it into multi-purpose corner.  For ironing purpose. 

All our books, DVD albums and photo albums are kept in the shelves in this hall.

Come to look at them, look like we do not have enough spaces to keep our things!  Lol!

2 months

That is how long we have been staying in our current home.  2 months coming tomorrow. 

Few things that we have not get down to doing it are:

1. telephone and streamyx line - we have not go to Telekom requesting for change of lines.  So other than iPad and Samsung Gallaxy III, I do not have other source of going online at home
2. ASTRO - we have not register our ASTRO line.  So we are on DVD for time beings.  Hubby has so many DVD at home that I joked to him on selling them off and earn money. 
3. Car porch tiles - we have not hunt for tiles and get people to place on the porch.  Need to budget for the tiles and works
4. Roofing - need to do the roofing at the backyard. 
5. Auto gate - Hubby insisted on it although I do not like it.  Because if no electricity how??  We do not have small side gate to go into the house in case of emergency. 

Still a lot to upgrade and install....Sigh! 

Dinner in Happy Valley

Invited my staff and sis for dinner in Happy Valley (opposite Crowne Square) on Sunday night.  It has been ages since I went to Happy Valley.  Used to enjoy its bbq lamb.  And it still the same tasty bbq meat!  Glad that the food still taste the same although I could not recognised Happy Valley on Sunday night when we reached there. 

It changes a lot.  They upgraded the place 5 years ago.  The last time I were there was before I had my first child.  And recently they added new feature to the place.  A pub-theme seating area for sports lovers.  Still, it is children friendly and the atmosphere is very nice and cooling during the night.

The view from my seat.  A lot of people sitting at the parlor across us.  Different ambiance I guess.  Next round I would want to sit there.

Our food has arrived!  Less than 10 minutes waiting!!

Pork chop set RM9.90

My curry chicken with rice RM9.50.  Too spicy but great tastebud teaser!

The super delicious and tender BBQ lamb.  The grilling kitchen is just in front of us so we can see the kitchen assistant grilling the lamb. 

Our dinner costs RM63.00 including drinks.  Not expensive and my 2 dinner companions cannot stop complimenting the good service and good food especially the BBQ lamb.  Their first time to Happy Valley and glad that they enjoyed their food.

Me and my 2 lovely dinner companions

One thing I like about Happy Valley is that it opens daily.  No off day! Of course they only rest on CNY. 

Playing with turquoise

I know it is Monday today.  Most people would be having Monday Blues after 2 rest days.  Not for me!  *wink*  Because I see TURQUOISE instead!

Over the weekend I were experimenting with colours again.  This time with one of my favourite colours.  Turquoise.  I love this lovely combination colour of green and blue. 

Nothing extravagant.  Just something fun and lively to look at.  Use sheer polish with blue glitters. Then paint turqouise colour on the tip of the nails.  Dab some white colour lightly on the wet turqouise colours with toothpick or unused eye liner.  Once the colours have dried up, paint coat polish on nails. 

Like it? 

I found a very useful nail polish remover wipes! Cost less than RM5.00 per pack with 30 pieces in it. And it comes with few scents and I choose apple as my wipes. Cute right???

 

It cleans and removes the nail polish effectively and even moisture my nails. No strong smell at all.

 

Have a great week, everyone!

Stayover

Sent hubby off to Kuching Airport this morning, he was catching a flight to KL for a meeting in Port Dickson for 2 days.  Since no one is at home as the kids are not around, I would be staying over with my family for 2 nights.  My house is too quiet at night and I do not like the feeling of being alone.  Not that I have a phobia of being home alone, but I still not used to my house although have been staying here for nearly 2 months now.

When we stayed in BDC, the area was rather lively at night.  Neighbours can be seen loitering outside the house, noises from the tv etc.  But in my current neighbourhood, it is rather quiet.  Too quiet to my liking.  It is like everyone retire early and no sounds from surrounding houses. And sometimes I heard noises in the cabinet etc.  Or maybe I am dreaming? 

I think staying over with my family is a good choice.  Near to the shop and save my time and petrol.     

Got to go now.  Need to go to shop as one staff is not coming, on sick leave. 

Weekend Menu #40: Hakka Stuffed Tofu

It is weekend again!  Cooking time!  Made Hakka Stuffed Tofu which I love so much.  I can eat few pieces of the tofu.  I prefer the fried ones than the steamed tofu.

Ingredients:

Minced meat with fat
4 pieces of Tofu, cut diagonally into half
6 Chinese mushrooms, soaked and stem taken off
Dried prawns, washed and soaked
Pepper and salt to taste

Methods:

1. Chop the washed Chinese mushrooms into smaller pieces.  Chop dried prawns into smaller pieces.
2. Combine minced meat, mushroom and dried prawns.  Chop and mix them well. 
3. Add salt and pepper to the mixed meat mixture and mix them well.
4. Use a chopstick, cut the tofu in the centre on the cut side to make a slit.  Wash your hands clean.  With your hand, insert some meat mixture into the slit. Press the meat into the slit.
5. Repeat all the 8 pieces of tofu.  Any balance meat mixture, roll them into meat balls.

6. Heat up the oil in the wok.  When it is hot, turn to low heat.  Add in the tofu one by one.  Turn to the other side when the tofu is turning golden at the bottom (about 4 minutes).  Dish up when the meat mixture has turn golden brown. Fry the meat balls (if any) until they are cooked.
7. Serve with lettuces wrapped around the tofu or any dipping of your choices.  I prefer chilli sauces
