About Me

My photo
I´m a foodie who lives to eat. A Singaporean living in the heart of Jakarta. My food blog started because I could never remember my recipes back when we travelled back and forth from here and Singapore...and I´m terrible at keeping folders! So this was my savior. I still rely on this blog to cook so just know that the recipes here are all tried and tested!

Celebrating Ramadhan






Yesterday was a busy busy day... High 5 Bread launch and thankfully everything went on smoothly. The Kaiiten Girls are a really nice fun bunch! Anyway, Mark came by as well and said he needed to arrange Nelson's wedding party. All of them are coming from CHIJMES where they are having their Chinese dinner. Thankfully there are still space in the VIP area. So all the Jewish clan will be here then.

I dugged out some old photos of me, with the family, Cik Midah, my engagement photo (there was no digital camera then!) hmmmm.. i just realized time flew by and people from my past are sprouting up again like mushrooms.

Today is also the first day of Ramadhan.. we woke up at 5am and had meatball curry, omelette & sambal belachan! ahhahahaha.. i wonder how my stomach and injest all of that. Met Mel up during lunch to Geylang.. and I was wearing boots!!! Melawa betul pergi Geylang! ehehhe... so we bought cooked lauk for buka & sahur tomorrow.. cant find much so i bought Ayam Masak Merah, Sambal Goreng Pengantin, Pais Sotong, Pais Ikan, Cheng Teng & Air Longan! Betul punya nafsu!!

Then we popped by JCC and went to RH Fashion. The sales person looked so familiar then I realized its Kak Gayah the one who did my wedding dais/pelamin!! See what i said abt meeting people from my past all of a sudden! Me & Mel ended up buying a baju kurung each.. similar patterns some more!! organza top with lining & beads with songket-like kain. Ok la... nothing too glamourous since we are both moms and have to be practical! Too mush beads will scratch our sons face, if we wear kebaya, all the buttons will pop!

So here are all the nostalgic photos....

Liebegedicht

This is so REAL... excerpts from someone else's blog that Mel sent to me...

The guy who love you , if he can't always see you,
he will try to make himself
busy, for not to have any time to
remember you, because he knew, if he did, he will keep
on missing you until he could do nothing.

The guy who love you, can't tell you the
reasonwhy he love you. he only knew that, in his
eyes, you are the only one

The guy who love you, seldom praise
you, but in his heart, you are the best, only he
know it..

The guy who love you, will scold or
complaint if you don't reply his message but others,
because he cares.

The guy who love you, Only drop his
tears in front of you, when you try to
wipe his tears, you are touching his heart ,
the heart which beat for you.

The guy who love you , will remember
e word u said , even its accidentally and he
will use the word always at the nick of time.

The guy who love you, will not give any
promise that easily, because they don't
want to break the promise, they want you to
believe him and they want to give you
the happiest and safest life ever after.

The guy who love you, always tell you not
to think too much, because they already
plan it for you, he want to give u the best life in
the future, he want to give you a surprise,
believe him that he can do it.

The guy who love you, will go to airport
to fetch you, he won't carry a bunch a rose and
call you darling like what you expect. but he
will carry your luggage and ask you " why
are you becoming that thin within two days?"
with his sincere heart.

The boy who love you, will listen quietly
to you, when you are mad, and when you
finished, he will said, you still got class
tomorrow, sleep earlier with smile.

The boy who love you, don't know that
whether he should call you when you are angry,
but he will sent a message to you after
few hours, if you ask him why he call that late, he
will said, when you are angry, my explanation are
rubbish. But when you calm down, my explanation
will only really works.

The boy who love you, always call you
little girl, but every time he want to make
a big decision, he will first want to hear your
advice.

The guy who love you, don't like little toy
like teddy bear, but he will always put the
bear you gift him at his bed.

The guy who love you, while quarreling,
he will apologize uncontrollably,
although you are the one who's wrong, and later,
he will sent a message to you with " baby,
actually you know its your fault, you know it yourself "

The guy who love you, while really miss
you he will want to buy a bunch of rose and
wait you stupidly under your apartment..
but he never knows , what he bought is daisy,
but doesn't matter, because in his heart,
that's roses.


Gals in crush, love, do you think the guy
who's beside you do really love you? if
yes, wish you have the happiest day ever
after.

guys, do u do this to the one who loves
u??
if not, try to show it to your lovers

bevor das Ende der Nacht, die ich Sie so fest halten möchte

This song by Rupee keeps playing in my head... watch & listen @ www.thisisrupee.com.. Fai went off to the Polo event which i was supposed to go but knowing that I dun have a nice outfit just kinda adds up to my reluctance of going. I am required to wear a hat somehow & i dun have any apart from my Adidas & Rip Curl.. when I asked Fai he told me to wear a French Cap!! Bloody asss.....

Anyway, all the other women there are gonna be dressed top to toe in high end couture.. forget it... the only couture i have is stuff i cant even put a feet in! lol

End of the weekend..the kids are asleep and i am clueless on what to do. To take a quick snooze would be ridiculous.. by the time Faiz wakes up I'll be groggy.. Hopefully next week will past by quickly too with the Hi-5 Bread launch on Tuesday & La Promenade party on Thursday. Hai.. puasa also must go back late!
Now that I am driving the car, looks like I gotta pay for the wear & tear too... sigh.. so I bumped the rear end last week at Sheng Siong but that wasnt my fault.. mama can vouch for me! So I should wait until i bumped the back real bad before sending it for repair la.

fabelhafter Sonntag

Its Sunday and the Bali blast had taken 30 lives and injured 100 others... dugong left for Meulaboh last night as well.. he told me his fiancee has been crying since morning and the worse part... not even telling his mom as her mobile was off! gut vom Glück my friend! Then this morning he told he he'll be back tomorrow! Just bringing some sick kids to SGH... tu takpe.. dia sempat melantak nasi padang & juice alpokat pulak!!! Then watch Kadir & Doyok!!! Obitttttt!!!!
I was online with 'Ein as well last night and she told me she's just hoping no SCC players are injured. Just the other day her ex flame Iszal was online with me at the same time! He just had a baby boy and the weirdest part, when i knew both of them in school (he was from GES) I thought they'll last forever! They had this wonderful connection everyone could see and then, I had hoped I would find someone with the same electricity.
I havent had lunch with Mel in awhile now since this 2 months she'll be running around places to places. Her job at GE sounds very easy, simple and she gets to meet men! ehhehehehe

es ist nie zu spät, bis es rüber sein

Can someone tell me the deeper meaning to that?? Its never too late until its over??
Anyway, Fai left for Jakarta on Wednesday and there was a demonstration.... he'll be back today though. Fetching him @ the aiport at 3pm. Faris denied missing his abah refusing to talk when Fai calls saying Abah boring and all that but in his own little way he shows it... like blowing a kiss on the phone after talking to Fai this morning.... Faris went for his dental check up yesterday and they did the upper molar filling for him. The doctor handling him sooooo gooodd.. she entertained him, made him felt at ease... calling him 'taik gigi' wriggly worms so that he'll brush his teeth often!

Entlastung


Anyway, here's a pic of the 3 girls.. Ismail's cousins.. Anol the eldest, Elin & Naz.. Anol just told me that Is was ok... huh?? Ok why?? I was online with her since midnight and I havent watched TV the entire day after fetching Fai from the airport. I didn't know there was a bombing in Bali @ Jimbaran & Kuta. Just a few days ago i was joking telling him to be careful takut BOMB!! My exact words! Smsed him and he replied saying he's alright.

Anol or rather Lyana goes online periodically and she's just finish her Refregiration & Air Cond exam yesterday.. what a boring topic!!! She said she mssed all my cookies & cakes..after 11 years...how time flew..

Mein Alter Gefundener Freund




I know this is really backlogged.... but i was so silly!!! I forgot my user name and thought that I lost my blog for good!!! Anyway.. a few updates .. i started work and its been really productive. Fun colleagues, great companion.. the sort of feel that makes me look forward to work instead of dreadding it. I joined the School Friends @ Yahoo and searched Pei Tong, Crescent & SHATEC friends that I've lost touch with...and I was elated when Sulaiman's name came to light! He was this vivacious, untra funny, laid back character who did his Diploma in Pastry & Baking on the April intake. The last time i met him was for a picnic 5 years ago when I told him my news of getting engaged and possibly tying the knot! I've got 2 princes now so time has definately flew by!!

So I send him an email, resigned to fate not knowing if he'll reply... when he did it was hillarious!! He didn't change a bit!! He was still bubbly with that booming laugh...we agreed to catch up with lunch. So after exchanges of sad, funny and surreal stories.. he mentioned that he will be tying the knot on January 1st 2006. It would be unlikely that i can attend as it is also Honey Nanny's wedding day but i'll be contented for now having a listeninng ear and sharing many booming laughters.

Aufgeregt!



I'm getting all excited about tomorrow! My flea market!! I've got 6 boxes & 2 bags of clothes to sell... lets hope I make more than the last trip.. if not i'll be sorely disappointed! Here's Faiz wearing the UCB jacket that Inne Frunz bought for Faris!

Geteiltes Leid Ist Halbes Leid

A quote someone very close to my heart always said..... Anyway Thumper came back with their offer.. I realize the basic is more than KN anyway plus the commissions are heavy so why not! Plus its 5 day work week... 10 to 6... almost like EYHO.

Mel agrees.. money is not everything once you have kids.....

Thursday, August 25, 2005

Solch eine Angst!

Today is real dread.. i've diverted my phone so that KN won't be able to reach me... just needed to know what the offer is from Thumper... sigh.... then the phone rang... they called home and I had to pretend I was someone else... heheheheh

Please..please.. please... let me know soon! I'm nervous, I'm agitated, I'm frustrated.... aaaaaaaaaarrrggggghhhhhhh.. and the worse bit.. tomorrow will be another waiting day..

At least listening to other people problems help lighten my burden...Mel is still waiting for the CB offer which will by 27th! I know she's as agitated as I am.. I cooked Ayam Panggang today to eat with rice, ulam, keropok, ikan kering & sambal belachan...

Ein Glücklicher Tag

I did my 2 teeth yday... and the fillings were so cool!! They were PINK! Of course it looks like I've got strawberries perpetually stuck to my mouth but hey.. no ones playing tonsil hockey with me apart from Fai...heheeheh .. They waive off the consultation fee and charged me $40 per filling.. of course la.. after the $7000 Mama spent on doing her crowns there!

The monkey is still etched in my mind... I wonder what happened.. do the other monkey carry him to be buried or do they leave him on the road to rot..

Mela went for another interview yday and I sincerely hope she gets the one at CB. It'll be good for her and I'm sure the money's good too. Our flea market is next week! Its so fast! I dunno how i'll sell my stuff.. there's just too many! What with mama & mak donated... its amazing! I have to get that rack at Ikea to hang the clothes!

I'm worried about the job offers too.. KN have not called abt the contract and CHIJMES said yes but its only the salary thats turning me off!! Lets hope I have a better offer today.

Mein Erstes




I found these pics last night and I realized how much pictures I have of Faris!!!

Ein Trauriger Tag

It started off as a great day with me going for another interview at CHIJMES, having a nice lunch break then heading home to pick the kids up for an outing. Thought of heading off to Ikea as Mama wanted new curtains then she decided on the ones at Metro so in the end we ended up at Gelenggang (which was closed on Monday we realized) as she was craving for their Mee Soto.

So we had prata & mee hoon goreng at Casuarina before feeding the monkey.. we brought peanuts and bread and after all that something tragic happened... it all seemed to go in slow-mo... monkey scattred all over the place, car coming, monkey trapped under the wheel, monkey lay motionless, monkey started heaving, blood trickled down the nose, then mouth then suddenly there was a pool of blood around the monkey.. it just didn't register in my head what was happening until Mama shouted.. "Is DRIVE!!! i cannot see this!"

Somehow time just pass by in a blur.. before I knew it, time for dinner and I have no appetite. I cooked Salmon Masak Merah with Bening Sayur and Mama said it looked like the monkey's blood!~!! Gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ein nagelneuer Tag



Its a brand new day... after being jobless for 3 weeks.. K+N finally made their offer.. and at the same time, April just called saying I've got an interview lined up on Monday!! Che just emailed asking if I am keen in a Marketing job at Thumper at Goodwood Park!!! I also applied at Legends at Fort Canning........ sigh.... now I've got too much choices!! Wait til' fai hears about it!

Last night we celebrated our 4th Anniversary & his 34th birthday...it was funny.. after indulging in a very expensive meal at Senso.. it ended up to be complimentary!!! The restaurant manager used to work with me at CHIJMES and fai knows him from Mambo Kings.... lucky huh!!!

Fai gave me a shopping voucher .. i know its definately gonna be spent on faris & faiz!!!!

Unser Jahrestag



Its our Anniversary!! Dunno where we're going to tonight but Fai has already opened his gift last night!! Managed to get 50% off the Ferragamo wallet he wanted.... guess it pays to have connection!! lol
Trying not to be disappointed if he doesn't get wat I want but I guess I am used to it.. then again, men are usually clueless on what their woman wants!

Meine zwei Helder




Faiz & Faris....

This was taken when Faiz was 2 months old... he's a really big boy!Faris is learning the letter P this week so he has prawn printing, pencil holder as artwork... he's also asking when our trip to "Aussalia" will be... hehehhehe..

Can't wait for Faiz to talk... he's staring to walk on his walker and shouting and blabbling all the time.. I'll miss him when I start to work...


Tuesday, August 16, 2005

Mündlicher Austausch

Not a very good day.. Fai almost left the house cuz he misunderstood about what I said to Mummy!! sigh.... every single year in between her birthday & our anniversary is always tough... tension!!! I guess he's not happy that I didn't bring the kids to her place for cake cutting!! I honestly didn't have the time!! By the time I got back from my interview, it was almost 3pm and we still had to go to Ikea, fetch papa, send him home....
