Honeycomb Cake / Kek Sarang Lebah

Honeycomb cake is my favourite cake and I started eating it since I was very young.  I only have chance to have it during CNY in our relatives' house. This is one of the delicacy that I will look for when I visit people's house during festivals even till now.

Now, I don't have to wait till CNY to enjoy this cake.  Besides me, my mum also loves this cake very much.  I have google for this recipe for so long and till I found one easy to follow recipe here complete with photos and video. Thanks to Annie for sharing such a easy to follow recipe.  I bake this cake few times and this is the first time I am sharing it here.

Sorry for the blur photo.  The taste is yummy

I am baking this cake for a gathering with ex colleagues on Saturday's afternoon.  Hope all my ex colleagues love this cake as I do.  This cake always received good response from my family member except my 2 girls.  This is a compulsory cake that I will bake during CNY.

For CNY, I am making ngaku chip this weekend.  Lots of work !

A gloomy morning

After week going to pre-school, Maine cried this morning and told me that she doesn't want to go to school today.  I managed to get her ready for school but she refused to get down from my car when we reached her school.  So, I parked my car and accompanied her to her class and again she refused to enter her class.  I believe she must be fear of something.  I will take to her tonight to find out more.  She never behave like that all this while and she always looking forward to go to school.

Need some counselling session for my little girl.

Happy New Year 2013

Good morning and Happy New Year 2013 !

Today is the first working day of the year and also the new school term starting.  Cyn is in Standard 6 and as usual she will follows her Aunty Yap to school.  Aunty Yap will comes and fetches her at 6.10am.  She has been following Aunty Yap since she is in Standard 1.  
As for our Little Maine, she is in her Level 2 this year, 2nd year in her kindergarten.  I will send her to kindy and she will follow her teacher (her class' teacher) back after school.  When I sent her this morning, she was ok and even bid me goodbye before I leave her with her teacher unlike last year whereby she cried and want to follow me home.  My post about her last year is here.  I didn't take leave this year but I asked for time off to be a bit late to office this morning.

I will back to work as usual on 2 January 2013 because Maine has assured me that she will be fine in kindergarten.  But I will stay up to 8.45am to ensure that she is fine before goes to office.

Today is the last day of 2012.  Any celebration to bid farewell for 2012 and welcome 2013 ? I just want a quiet night with my beloved family.  A simple dinner at home will be a blessed one for us.  No special dinner, just a simple home cooked food.

Actually we had early new year dinner with our 2 lovely girls last Saturday at Sunway Pyramid.  We had a wonderful time together.

Yesterday, we sneaked into our new house to take the measurement of the window so that I can start to shop for curtain.  Measurement for the room and hall also taken to ensure that the furniture we bought will be able to fix in.  Plan to shop for material for curtain tomorrow so that my mum can start sewing it before she is off for holiday for 2 months.  Will head to Nagoya in Tesco Klang for the curtain shopping.

Recap 2012

Today is 29 Dec 2012 and also the last Saturday for this year.  To recap what happen this year, I think this year is not a good year for me.  I suppose to get the new key to my new house but it is still not done.  Still waiting & waiting.  Even thought I changed job mid of the year, but I find that it is not as good as I thought. But life has to go on.  

There are so many FIRST time for me this year.  Some of them are like ....

1) Got my passport :)
2) Went overseas - Medan, Indonesia for our 2nd honeymoon
3) Went to Singapore for the very 1st time (don't laugh, ok).  I went there twice in a week.
4)  Boarded on ambulance in Singapore. Refer to my post here

and many more but I think that the above few is the most unforgettable one for me :)

I hope for a better year in 2013 and I believe that's everyone's wish.

I think 2013 will be a busy year for me. Cyn is sitting for her UPSR, mum is going back to hometown for few months so I will have to manage on my own.  We are expected to get the key of the house after CNY.  So now we already start to survey some of the furniture and electrical items which needs to replace.  We are expected to start minor renovation after CNY.  I will be going back to hometown next year for Ching Ming.

Those are some of my plans for 2013.

To celebrate the end of 2012, the year of dragon....we will bring the girls for shopping and nice dinner tonight before we welcomed 2013.

Another movie - CZ12

We went for movie again with our daughters last Saturday.  We are actually not sure whether to bring Maine for the movie or not because we worried that she might not enjoyed the movie as we are watching Jackie Chan action movie - CZ 12.  But finally we decided to let her tag along to enjoy her popcorn while we watched the movie.  To our surprise, she enjoyed the movie as we do.  I am not sure how far she enjoyed the movie, but she said the movie is nice and funny.  Most important thing is she never asked for toilet break.  She just complained that she was sleepy towards the end of show which is almost 12 midnight.

This movie is Jackie Chan last action movie.  I have been watching his movie since I was young and I grown up with his movie because my eldest brother is his fanatic fan.  So, he introduced his movie to me.  I will never get bored watching his movie over and over again.  

For those who have yet to watch this movie, go and watch it now !
