Her Very First Trip . . . .

My elder princess - Jou Nin was chosen to represented her school Chinese Orchestra group to play Cello at Genting Highland for the International Chinese Orchestra Competition. It was the world ranking competition which was also participated by the candidates/students from as far as China, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand & etc. She was very excited and happy, getting all her stuff packed as early as few days ago and even ask me to get her a new pair of pink sport shoes just for her journey to Genting Highland. I can see she really look like going to Genting holiday than competition.





Students were asked to pray at school before the journey starts ..


Lining up waiting for the bus to arrive.



This is her first outstation trip alone without me. I'm a bit worry !!


Spotted her new shoes?? Nice ?? :)



Parents with their kids before departure ..



Look at my girl carrying her luggage and stuff ... look like the things are much heavier than her own weight ... :(( I hope she manage to carry it all the way to Genting Highland ..



There is Bus A & Bus B - my princess was in Bus B (PJB9399) the bus with orange color stripes one.



Parents waited the bus to depart before can go home ... They will be in Genting Highland from 22 Nov - 25 Nov 2010.


Jou Nin, mommy miss you already !!! Please take a good care of yourself & have a safe trip ya!

Book worms?? or Recipes worms? ...

Most girls would like to spent their time in a beauty salon or shopping. But, I like to visit bookshops & spent hours there to go thru all the books that I like - especially all the recipe books for baking & cooking. I love to flipped over the colorful pages with those yummy pictures of the food in it. Admire the food cooked & steal some idea on how to snap a good foodie pics :) I just can't resist when I saw recipe books, I must flipped to see what's in it.
My very first recipe book was the recipe textbook that I'm using when I'm still in secondary school. I was in the home-science class and every Thursday, we have to bring the ingredients according to the recipe that we need to cook on that day to cook in our school kitchen. I wonder, if there are home-science classes for the form 4 & 5 students now??

I still remember my home-science teacher Mrs Molly Tan screaming & scolding us all the way from start till the end of our cooking class. She is very "garang" & we all so scare of her :( She will even pull our ears if we did anything wrongly ... hehe !! I still can recall her pretty face & screaming voice till now... we have learn a lot of cooking tips from her, Mrs Molly Tan - if u see this, Thank you so much & I miss u !! :p

Yeah, talk about recipe books ... I've really huge collection of good recipe book at home. Some of it are more than 10 yrs ald. I like to flipped on the recipe books when I'm free & from there, I'll come out with the idea on what I want to cook for my family.. At here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my foodie blogger friend - PENNY for present me 3 recipe books when we meet up when I'm in KL. Thank you so much my dear (^.^) !! (Will snap the pictures of the recipe books she gave me to show all of u soon)

For those who knows me, I'm not chinese-educated & dunno chinese ... I'm those who will call us Bananas!!! hahaa... Please PARDON ME?? why u all call the ppl who dunno chinese BANANA?? I didn't look anything like BANANA ok?? & I don't really like yellow color as well .. that's my youngest daughter favourite color, hehe!! Can anyone tell me, why banana??

I always or sometime once a while will blame my mom, for why she didn't sent me to a chinese primary ... I try to learn chinese by myself since younger days .. but till now, I still cannot master it all. Chinese language are the hardest to learn not to mention writing all those weird characters .. I will CRY!! For the reason that I don't know chinese ... I have missed out all those nice chinese language books & novels .. can't read them.. kelian lo!!

Anyway, beside chinese cookbooks & magazines ... here are 2 chinese books that I buy for myself for the very first time ... Just want to learn reading it, not that easy tho.. I think these 2 books will last me 5 yrs to finished them .. ha ha ha ... :)



Both books are very interesting, got help from my daughter 2 read the first chapter for me ald... will ask her to help me again when school holidays starts .. :)


My best regards,

AMY
