Let's go holiday !!! but when ? I have to clear 8 days of AL before year end but my hb can't take leave so how to go holiday ?
Anyhow, I am going for company trip on 19 Oct 2013 for 2d1n.  I am one of the organising committee and I am also the annual dinner emcee. Few of the committee members visited the site on 11 Sept.

Another Coach ?

The other day my sister who is residing in Singapore asked whether I want to buy Coach bag or purse or not.  Should I get another Coach bag ?  It costs around SGD200.
Still struggling as my free Coach bag is still new

Cyn sitting for UPSR and after exam destress

Cyn - our eldest daughter is sitting UPSR 2 weeks ago.  After exam we went to KLCC Aquaria for a break. Since we have 3 days break during Malaysia Day holiday, we took the opportunity to go KLCC.  Since Maine never ride on LRT, we decided to take LRT from Kelana Jaya station to KLCC.

Let's enjoy the photos

Marble Cake

Last weekend, the mood of baking cake came back.  I baked the most simple marble cake using the butter cake recipe.  

Here is the simple recipe and this is the first cake I learnt to bake during my teenage year.

Basic Butter Cake

Ingredients :
250g Self raising flour
4 eggs (Grade A)

200g sugar
4 tbsp fresh milk
2 drops vanilla essences
250g butter (room temperature)

Beat the butter and the sugar till butter turns creamy, put in the eggs one at the time ,put in the vanilla essences.

Beat till fluffy and pale.then put in the flour and the milk and beat till all mixed well.

Then put in the cake tin and bake in oven for 1 hour or till cooked in oven 200C

Add in 1 tbsp of cocoa powder (for marble cake)

I brought some for my colleagues

4-day holiday is over

The 4-day holiday just over. 2 days PH plus 2 days weekend.  I had a enjoyable and relaxing holiday with my family.  We spend our time at our home sweet home.

I cooked kuah kacang and pork rendang to go along with nasi impit and ketupat palas on first day raya.  For pork rendang, I use the instant rendang paste from Mak Nyonya.  As for kuah kacang, I get the recipe from my friend.  For dinner, my mum cooked Laksa Sarawak again ! special request from my sister who fly back from Singapore for holiday.
On Friday, I make siew yoke.  I would said it is super easy to make and it is as nice as the one sell in chicken stall.  I like the crispyness of the skin and juicyness of the meat. Yummy !
