花果山

最近迷上了水果,以前在家,水果都是妈妈买的,现在自己买,才知道水果比蔬菜,肉类,海鲜来得贵的呢。
我家现有水果,两个人吃,会不会太夸张?(有些还在冰箱里)。。。。

自食其果

所谓有多少风流,就有多少折堕。星期六和友人吃了大餐。真的是大大的餐喔。。。


很内疚的星期日晚餐只好乖乖的吃水果餐。。。。

一日复一日

做工了,在家的时间也少了,累了,也罢工不做饭。
公司搬了去金桥,一个鸟不拉屎的地方,回家路途更远了,更累了,厨房更加少开炉。

星期一到五,大少爷回家比我更夜。
有时候,两三天也没见到他 (虽然晚上应该还是有睡在我身旁。。。)

一天又一天,一日复一日。
工作天五天,有时加班。每个quarter end 有一两个周末也要加。

不知不觉,五月要来了。。。 日子就这样溜走。

Never empty bag

Let's say in a week,
7 tops + 7 bottoms + 7 under wears = 21,
Then, 3 (weekends clothes or kai kai clothes) + 4 (stay home clothes) + 3 bottoms = 9
So one person = 30 pieces of laundry per week and two will be 60 pieces.
I am doing 3 times laundry per week which means each time 20 pieces.....
AND my laundry bag still never empty ....... headache....

P/S : ohh I still have two pieces of towels to change per week, 1 set of bed sheets and cover in a fortnight.

宴客

来一盘炒豆瓣啦垃。
加个香辣咖哩鸡吧。

再来碟芥兰。。。。。。

哇赛,宴客了!!!!!!

以上都不是我煮的,我只是其中一个肚子贡献者。

前三样菜是我在上海对我十分关照的友人煮的。她,美丽大方,事业有成,经济独立,又烧得一手好菜。如今还是找着有感觉,陪她开心难过,能让她不厌烦的另一半。我也望祝君好!

Chefs around me

God must be love me in some way because He knows my cooking sucks. :P Since we move to Shanghai, we often get invited to have makan session in friend's house. I have good chefs around me even away from home.

We were lucky enough and served with big feast, lovely home cook food or even Malaysian style nasi lemak meal. Very often, I am too excited to see the good food and forgot to take pictures. I only managed or remembered to take 2 photos out of so many good meals.

Since a friend left me a package of Prima Taste Chicken Rice pack before she left, I guess it's time to return the treat back to my friends. But Chew Chin said, ARE YOU SURE?!!!???

Ohh well, there will always be the first time.

Highest degree

Can you see it? This is the first time I encounter the highest degree since I am here. Ohh ya, I've been hiding my two pairs of lovely legs and meaty arms since I got here. I am so sick of the turtle neck shirts, long sleeves and long pants. I guess it's the time to let them out to see and feel the sunshine!

我的天堂 - 任天堂

Finally, I got my new toy - Nintendo WII. I've been thinking to buy it for so long actually. We brought back a set for a friend during Chinese New Year. That time, I already tempted to buy but still as usual, I am still hovering around and indecisive. Yesterday, we were back to the IT mall to exchange a default Nintendo WII gun which also bought earlier on for my godson. Ha, this time, we got back a set for our own. Even though Chew Chin didn't say any specific reason to get me a set but I guess this should be the Valentine's gift. Thank you so much. Hopefully I won't be playing until forget to cook for him. Maybe one of the reasons he bought for me because I can stay put at home and do less shopping. Nevermind, now this is my new heaven, 任天堂.

First Hair Cut

I decided to go for a hair cut today because I can't stand my split ends anymore. I surveyed 3 salons in Super Brand Mall and made up my mind in Toni & Guys. As I am not willing to pay for higher price, I ended up with senior hairstylist which also cost me RMB150 (RM75) for wash, cut & blow. I told the stylist I wanted to cut my split ends and when I noticed my hair length, it already reached my shoulder. Aikss......
It was pretty decent and tidy after cut and blow but when I got home and took a bath and wet my hair, the bad hair day starts........ yew yew yew...... Now I am thinking, should I really cut it into BOB..........??!!???

My before and after look.

Book Shopping in Popular

There are two things that definitely worth to buy in China, one is the Chinese book as in Mandarin books, another one is CD, music CD.
The CDs which are selling in big store like Popular, I deemed as original, just they are repackaging here to have Chinese words and translation, it's around RMB30-RMB60 (RM15-RM30), including those western singers. So those who are interested to get, can just let me know and I can check the price for you. I love Shopping!
For books, after the Saturday dinner, Hwai Chuin and I went to the Popular as I wanted to get some books. I bought 5 books with the Popular discount card and I paid around RMB110 (RM55), it's super cheap. Hwai Chuin said, "I have no eye see when u move back to Malaysia one day with all your junk"

Hwai Chuin insisted to take a picture of my aunty book shopping look.
Look at my penguin and bak chang look. Gosh.......

淘宝乐

刚才冲凉时, 手机响了, 也不知怎样搞的, 通常都在我冲凉时响. 包着毛巾, 冲出去, "喂... " "有快递" "哦, 我在冲凉..." "冲凉啊, 那我放前台." "好, 那我好了下去拿."

哈, 我的淘宝物到了. 前天去了邮政局, 买生平第一次的淘宝充值码, 昨天才买下生平第一次的淘宝物. 哈哈, 不用出门, 购物到我家, 哈哈..... 那我淘了什么宝. 我买两个, 还好啦, RMB19 一个, 加快递 RMB5 (Averagely, RM11 for one). 虽然两个颜色有点不同, 有待改进. 不过 beh hiam beh pai lah :P

什么是淘宝? 淘宝网 是一个中国非常出名的购物网站, 包罗万象, 应有尽有, http://www.taobao.com, 如果你们看上了哪个便宜又大块的东西, 我可代买, 不过, don't pay high expectation on the quality.

My weekly grocery

I've reached Shanghai about a month and still no luck to get a job. Thus, I have my temp. job as housewife and my weekly routine is grocery shopping. Today, I decided to go to Carrefour instead my usual place, Wallmart. I've learnt a lot of new Chinese words from the road name here like the Carrefour I went is at 芳甸路 as in fang1 dian4 lu4. I didn't know how to read the dian4 word before this. Hehe, pardon me for my poor Chinese.
Even though I am doing a weekly grocery and only two of us eating, I am still manage to fill up the whole trolley every time. Do I look like professional housewife with the food I bought?
I can't buy more than that because I only have two hands to carry. Normally when I paid, I will be getting 左一包,右一袋 and looks very clumsy. *Luckily I know nobody and nobody knows me here ~phew phew~*
P/S : We have to prepare own recycle bag as the hypermarkets here charge for plastic bags.
