Js' Birthday!

Js is very happy today. He invited 4 of his friends--Nicholas, Sean, Brandon and Brenan over to our place. They had a good time playing and they enjoyed the lunch too. Some of them had not tried laksa before. I coaxed them to try and all were gungho about it--except for Brenan who didn't like it. But they all particularly enjoyed the shepherd's pie.

What made Js birthday extra special is not the presents and the makan...or the fact that he shares the same birthday as the Minister Mentor LKY, but the Akela Award which he received yesterday. This is the highest Scouts award and Js is extremely happy that he has received this award. He is displaying the trophy proudly in the living room. I thank God that He has given Js this wonderful blessing. It means a lot to him.

HOME--Here we come!

We FINALLY decided to move back home!(on 6 Sep) The renovations of the kitchen, toilets and foyer in the living room started in June. So during the June holidays, we moved to mummy's place. The place is sooo comfortable. The boys love Ah Bu's room (they get to watch TV on the bed!) G loves the exercise room too. She relaxes on the massage chair every night before she sleeps to read her book. She really knows how to enjoy life! Even the maid is happy--the kitchen gets the morning sun and the clothes dry in a jiffy! I also get to bake and grill--in a built-in oven. My previous oven is a table-top one--so it's very limited in use. That's one of the reasons why my kitchen is renovated--so that I will have a built-in oven! We really enjoyed our stay there, so much so that the kids whined about having to move back so fast!??
So we're really thankful for this wonderful place to stay. Thanks Mummy and Ah Bu!

My Very Own Blog At Last!

I've finally dragged myself to create my own blog. Have been wanting to do this but somehow didn't get down to doing it. Just did my IRAS e-filing and since I have the computer all to myself (the kids are all out--J(worship practice), G and Js(LP Thomson)), thought I'd give it a try.

I'd like to share my recipes with all who enjoys simple home-cooked food. Hopefully my kids will have something to look back to when they grow up and have their own families. It'd be wonderful if they could have fond memories of Mummy's food and crave for this or that.
