19 Oct : B.A.K.E
We took off. clear some of my leave, and also to spend some time with my mom after her op.
Sista also took leave. that means ryan also pon-ten from child care. =)
We gathered at coris, and we B.A.K.E (d).
the other time i made kueh salat, and i used the wrong pandan juice. so this time, i tried again,
with yours truly grinding the pandan leaves, and squeezing the juice out of it.
so there you go, pandan juice, self-made. no need to buy.
fyi, 1 bottle of pandan juice is $21 from phoon huat.
after some steaming and cooking, we have the entire kueh done.
heh heh....
packed, and gave some to mabel who came up to give me my birthday present! (Thanks Mabel, Sean, Huiming and William!!)
also packed some for budd who is coming over later at nite.
Concurrently, we decided to bake some muffins, and ryan suggested m&m muffins.
so, there you are!
how easy is it to grant him his wish now!
when he woke up, sista carried him to see how the muffins are rising.
he asked for a muffin before we went for dinner.
i tell him to feed me, he say 'u take urself from there la'
we can really tell that he likes them!
After we sent them home, we hurried back to our neighbourhood to catch the procession of the 9th emperor. yah, if u rem, we were at the parade last year too. =)
This year, we had a new experience, we were standing real next to the mascots!!
heh heh...
last yr, we gong-gong waited by the big drain, for the mascots, lion dance and dragon dance, etc, to march to the finishing point. But, we are actually able to be up close and personal with them, right before they started marching! aiyoyo....
don see them short, when the pple goes into this mascot, it stands twice my height, at least.
the almost entangled dragon ...
the giant lion. the head had to be hold by 3-4 pple.
by 11.30pm, budd had called to inform that she had reached our block, so we rushed back, in double quick time steps!
It was a nite we shared to bake some muffins meant for her birthday. =)
we made a variety of muffins! from nutella, to white & dark choc chips, to raisins! yummy!!
budd emptied the cup as she tasted one.... =)
nice or not nice? we leave it to u to imagine. art is subjective. =)
the session ended at 2am.
As I showered, and lay myself on the bed, i rx her sms,
"Budd, Thks for the muffins. They r really better gifts than any material stuffs though i know they r available fr u upon request...Hee...no lots liao, I have to park a few blocks away...Good night."
This is an entire quality day spent.... =)
