I was thinking to do this when I want to introduce macaroni to my boy the other day. I bought 2 type of pasta - spirals vegeroni and macaroni. Too bad, my boy doesn’t like the cheese macaroni, he still much prefer to have rice or porridge.

This spirals vegeroni with minced beef is very easy to prepare. Here are the ingredients and steps.

(For 1-2 serving)

Ingredients:
100g+ top side Beef, minced it
⅓ pack of San Remo Spirals Vegeroni
1 hand punch full of Anchovies
¼ Cheese single slice
Few stalks of spinach leave, chop fine
Prego fresh mushroom pasta sauce

Cook the Vegeroni

1. Boil anchovies soup. Slightly fried the anchovies with garlic till it starts to turn golden, then add in water and salt to taste. Boil for 25 minutes.
2. Wash the vegeroni in running water and put it into the anchovies soup to boil.
3. Add in spinash, half way before the soup fully absorb/ dries up.
4. Add in cheese slice and stir well.

Cook the minced meat

1. Heat the wok with oil, add in garlic and fried the meat till it frangrant.
2. Add in salt and pasta sauce to taste.

It was since so long ago I wanted to try on this new and famous donuts in town, Big Apple and J Co. Monday was holiday, I have been with my family to visit my aunt and cousins. During the second half of the day I was shopping at Mid Valley.

With cousin sis

That day I was really so happy, cause finally I got to taste the donuts that I’m craving for so long. As usual, this donut store always need to queue up. I need to queue for like 10 -12 peoples before my turn, it took around 20 minutes till I check out.

There was not having the full stock of all flavours that they have. So I just pick whatever they have from the tray and here are my choice.

Pink Panther, Kimochi, Whitnut, Say Cheese and Carlifornian Almond , 6 for RM9.50 pack with contest form.

It was Big Apple 1st Golden Year Anniversary. Prizes include Berjaya Hotel and Resorts stay for 3D/2N and passes for FREE donuts. With this purchase, I got a postcard contest form. Just answer 3 questions without any slogan.

Comment on these donuts - it is fluffy, but all flavours topping are too sweet. Next I will try on J Co.

Since the USD currency rate in very weak lately, I’m not making any cash out from Paypal. Instead I use the money to shop from eBay and other online fashion store. I shop quite a few items from eBay and one of it I really like it very much - the Baby GAP Madras set (US$17).

This is a 2T size, latest 2008 Spring collection of logo shirt and pant. The size overall is looks big on him. But it is ok to be big than small; the pant waist is adjustable and the length I altered it to 1.5 inches shorter. I think the size he able to wear till age 3+.

I’m very satisfied with this seller from US. She is selling lots of GAP kids clothing, giving me a fast delivery (exactly 7 days include weekend) and charging a reasonable shipping fee. I’m not really went into our GAP outlet here to shop before, but I’m sure if this madras set is available, I think I won’t get to buy it with the price I got from eBay.

On Mother’s day, I put this on him for the first time. I would say he really looks so special and smart fitting on him. At church many praised that he looks handsome and stroke his face and head..haha… *blush*.

Here is the seller’s store - Top Shelf Resale.

It has been long my boy like to fall asleep with us on the big bed. May be he feels more comfortable sleeping on the memory foam mattress. Every night I got to stay alert to sleep beside him to make sure I’m not step on him. It is actually quite tight for 3 of us sleeping on the queen size bed. When he sleep soundly, I need to carry him back to his bed, but sometimes just too tired and lazy to transfer him, so we three just sleep together all night long.

Soon or later, I don’t think we can continue to sleep that way. One for safety purpose and somehow my boy needs his own kid’s bed soon. I was thinking that, why not our adult bed change to a bigger one; as we can get more space when sleep in 3. May be now is not the time to separate room and bed with my boy, so change a bigger bed for current use and for future is still the better solution.

With that in mind, bedroom renovation is needed to open up the space. I was thinking, wow, the floor space must be bigger than the living hall and my boy even can run in the room. So, fix in the platform bed also should not be a problem now. May be I should also consider to get some extra bedroom accessories like bedside table and dressers to match with it.

Finally, my lil’ boy for the first time on 8th May 2008 evening, he able to slide down by himself. He was so happy and keep on wanted for more. Once he slide down, he will give me a cheeky grin which says like, Yes mummy, I make it!

That was one of our evening activity to go playground for some walking and running.

I’m once experience to accompany a friend to buy furniture for his new home. He is very extreme and having high expectation on the furniture he wants. Thus, I have follow him to walk across lots of furniture shops everywhere around the town. What I admire him the most was he even paying high cost of the freight cargo to bring back those furniture piece whenever he saw he likes during his trip around the Asia country. Yes, he loves Asian furniture to the max!

Finally, the day comes after waiting 2 years long, he invites us to his house warming party and this is also the day I’m looking forward to view all his great hunting home furniture. Truly, this is a little Asian home inside out and for sure he has an unusual story on every piece of his furniture. Majority of it are make of wood, some are even with special crafting on it. Can’t believe that wooden furniture nowadays like Japanese furniture and Balinese furniture can create a modern and contemporary feel.

Knowing that he is getting part of the living room furniture from Tansu.net. Back home, I can’t wait to check out more from the site. I know I’m too much influence by him now to get a new Fiji Rattan Sofa set for my living room and some other home deco pieces. Do you feel that I’m slowly transform my little hut to a semi-Asian home too?

The strong lady in the…
FAMILY
It stands for= (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU!

I come across the meaning behind the word of MOTHER…

M - Many (She gave us many many)
O - Old (She worried of us and hence she has grow lots of white hairs)
T - Tears (because of us she tears)
H - Heart (She has a kind and warm heart)
E - Eyes (When she look at us, the sight is always full of LOVE)
R - Right (Never tell lies and teach us the right things to do)

Just a simple sharing here. Wishes all mummy and mummy-to-be, HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

This week hunting theme is TIME, I only can think of watch and clock. This is the clock hanging in my bedroom. Every morning, that’s the first thing I see and tell me the time what should I do next. I like this clock design very much, it made of cushion and other soft material.

Did you ever notice those clock set or watches in clock store, it is always pointing to 10:10, 10 past 10, or 10 to 2? It is actually symbolise the image curve of a smiley face :)

Yesterday was a public holiday. We have no plan and all day stay at home. The weather is real crazy since past week. It is sooo hot…stay at home can have natural sauna bath. It is very very stuffy and hot. Imagine the minute you dry your body after shower, you can start sweating immediately. Well, this is not that important point for this post (also one of the bad la…)

You just guess what I’m having. The feel is like this. My whole body no energy, I don’t feel hungry. 3 days ago, for the whole day, I only ate 2 slices bread, a cup of milk and glasses of plain water. I feel want to puke too and many gas burp out. Even I feel the my stomach is playing drum, but I don’t have appetite to eat..My tongue was having lots of those bitter taste. My stool were all water coming out…after eat, I must lay down and feel dizzy too..this feel have been carry till today. So what you think I’m having? Sounds like…

I also thought of the possibility, but the tester not prove of that. I’m having STOMACH UPSET! The first day I bought back Gaviscon from phamarcy to cure for the time being..even worst! later my mum brought me some So Hup Pill. After few doses also nothing improve.

The next day, feel the same. Eat very little, then got to lay down and sleep. If sit it is very hurt on stomach area. Not going to see doctor just want to wait for the So Hup Pill to recover me, but it is not too..So the whole day stay at home, sleep and sleep only..My boy is just so miserable, cause no one play with him and I keep on chase him away not to disturb me…pity boy…

Today finally went to see doctor. Took some stomach pill back and one of that is for gastrik. Now after 2 times med feel much better, but still not feel want to eat. Why I’m getting that? I must zip zip my mouth and cut finger from now on, no more ice drink or carbonated drink…

Really so suffer!
