january 2010 so far

How’s everyone so far?

Me, absolutely fantastic!
2010 is good to me so far.
Haha, it might be too early to say.
But I seriously got a feeling that this year will be a good year for me :D
Amen

so, what I have been doing since December last year?

well, I would say pretty busy :D
busy = not bored.

1. Christmas dinner and activities throughout the festival month
Christmas dinners and activities were almost on every weekend with different awesome people since December.
Last few days when I tried to uploaded photos on fb, I just discovered I accidentally deleted all the pictures that I took on our combined cells Christmas dinner on the 19th. T__T

2. the start and the end of the making macarons journey
since I promised to make some macarons for jade’s wedding, I have been practising ever since… :D
After 5th attempt, my macarons are now so M.A.C.A.R.O.N  ^ ^
Gone through many ups and downs. I have to thank two people here for the success of the macarons. One is james who gave me many tips and information about how to do this little thing. The other one is kofanna, who has supported me and kept me company when I spent almost two full days in the kitchen last week just before the wedding.
I guess it is the best thing that I did this year… (ya right, while it’s only like first month in 2010) XDDDDD

3. shopping with kofanna = spent a lot… and lots of fun!
Not like she inducing me to spend, it’s just happen I shopped with her and bought a lot… L
Her good sense of fashion makes me look more like a normal girl.
Haha… coz I am a very casual person. I hate doing make up and dress up, as I am too lazy to think the mix & match and too lazy to remove the make up. so if I don’t dress up, I don’t have to do this kind of unnecessary stuff… heh~
To conclude, I am super lazy and just CAN”T BE BOTHERED!!!! Heh~

4. An awesome wedding is a good start of the year.
So… from proposal to wedding, it was in six months time. I can’t believe jade and her wedding team can actually did such a wonderful job with this limited time!
Decorations and ideas are very creative. Something different = special and memorable :D which made the wedding unique and amazing.
Congratulations Wally and Jade :D

5. new blog for our household :D
Haha… yes, we start a new blog. Who is the “we”?? Kofanna and I, plus our adorable natto!!! Hehe…
Well, the theme of the blog is “two and a half women”, as you can tell it’s taken the name from “two and a half men” XDDDD
here is the site address: http://twoandhalfwomen.blogspot.com
Basically, this is blog is about our daily life with one another and the interesting thing that happened in our “family”.
We have this idea as we were bored and making fun of each other, when I was making the macarons in the kitchen…
Both kofan and I love to talk crappy stuff… so as to entertain ourselves!!! LOL
Ya, I know we are very silly… heh~ but we are happy! Think that’s our way to enjoy life and the way to enjoy each other’s company :)
We don’t have to be serious every moment right?

Think the updates are getting too long and it is time to sleep too…
Wish you all have a blessed year

salmon & potato patties

 
happy new year everyone :)
hope you all did have a great christmas and wonderful new year!

this was one of the dishes on our christmas eve dinner.
since i had to work on that day, i did not have much time to cook a tradtional christmas dinner.
find this recipe, think it is pretty easy to make and can be a good starter too.

it turned out great, though i did not use the breadcrumbs.
however, it could look better and be more crispy if i did use the breadcrumbs... heh~

more recipes for our christmas eve dinner is coming :D
by then, enjoy these tiny little patties :P
