"treasure memories” is the place for me to treasure my memories of those joyous days, to cherish and remember people I care about and events that I attended.

My colleague was asking me today, which one is correct? "Restaurant A is now in Publika or Restaurant A is now at Publika?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I told her it should be "at" but she thought otherwise and went on saying "but the restaurant is in Publika building"?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I goggled and found this on <a href="http://en.allexperts.com/q/General-Writing-Grammar-680/x-2.htm">"allexperts".</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">In many cases "in" or "at" can be used interchangeably with no difference in meaning, especially with "the office." The way you use "in the office" in this example is fine, and your reason for using it makes sense. However, you could just as well say "at the office" in that situation. <strong>"At" is often used to a something as a place, a location, perhaps some sort of institution, such as at the theater, at the library, at the restaurant, at the office. You could use "in" with most of these nouns, too, to convey the idea of being INSIDE that place.</strong></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">There are more subtle idiomatic expressions and situations for each of these nouns than I could begin to explain. ("I was at the library when I found the book" "The book was in the library" "We met at the library" "We met in the library" are all correct and just a few examples.) But I think, on the whole, more often than not, you might use either "at" or "in" in most situations involving these sorts of nouns. It depends somewhat on a person's preference and habit, but you probably have some sense of when you are talking about something "in" (inside) a place or "at" a place ("at" a location).</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">However, the second sentence, the woman's response, is one case where I think there would be a preference; it would be preferable and more natural to say "at the office" in this case because of "welcome." There's a sense that it's "the office" that is "welcoming" you, and so it makes sense to refer the office as a place, a location, using "at," rather than to think of it as a place to be "inside." On the other hand, one might say "You are not welcome in this house." There's a territorial feeling about this expression: within these boundaries. But one might be at least as likely to say "You ARE welcome AT this house." </span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My colleague looked confused and asked "So, which is correct in my scenario? Restaurant A is now in Publika or Restaurant A is now at Publika?" I told her, for your scenario, both are correct but "at" is more appropriate to inform that Restaurant A is now at Publika. </div>

When I first started blogging in Aug 2008 with the very first post "<a data-mce-href="http://http://jaredjaden.blogspot.com/2008/08/memorable-things-on-memorable-day.html" href="http://jaredjaden.blogspot.com/2008/08/memorable-things-on-memorable-day.html" title="Memorable Things on a Memorable Day">Memorable Things on a Memorable Day</a>", it was meant as a place for me to treasure my memories of those joyous days, to cherish and remember people I care about and events that I attended. They give me great pleasure and they are very special for me to treasure those memories. It is also a place for me share information and good experience with my family and friends. After all, good things are meant to be shared.</div>

After a while, I find blogging to be very useful. It is like my virtual library, for me to note down important facts and to make reference to them whenever I need, at wherever I am. There were several occasions when my friends asked me about <a href="http://jaredjaden.blogspot.com/2011/12/maid-renewal-passport-and-levy.html">Maid Renewal procedures</a> and also about Kumon. I asked them to refer to my blog. And those were it.</div>

After my <a href="http://jaredjaden.blogspot.com/2012/07/hokkaido-chiffon-cupcakes-1st-attempt.html">first attempt of baking Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes</a>, I kept on thinking how to improve the cake better. I browsed and read several blogs on making this cake and also talked to my friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the experience and learning were still fresh in my mind, few days later, I tried baking this cake for the 2nd time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I only have one mixer at home. In my 1st attempt, I used mixer to whisk egg yolk and hand whisk for egg whites. This time round, I decided to hand whisk the egg yolk and use mixer to beat egg whites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The result is a much firmer peak of egg whites.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the 1st attempt, I took the cupcakes out from the fridge the following day and dusted the cupcakes with icing sugar. Due to condensation, the icing sugar got wet and melt. The snowy look on top of the cupcakes disappear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the 2nd attempt, I wanted to take photos of the cupcakes and as such, I dusted the cupcakes with icing sugar right after I piped the whipped cream. I put the cupcakes into container. The following day, I took the cupcakes out from fridge and the icing sugar did not melt and there was snowy look on top of the cupcakes. This is great! My friend who shared this cupcake with me asked me the same question ie how to sustain the snowy look on top of the cupcakes. I realised this is common issue that most people faced. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After I posted the picture of the 2nd attempt of the cupcakes on my Facebook, I received several good comments on the cupcakes. I did pay attention on the photography angle, background, lighting, etc when I took this photo and the result of the photo was so much better as compared to the 1st attempt photo.</div>

Oh ya ... one final tips. During my first attempt of baking this cake, I had sudden visit of guest. So, my Hubby and kids came down and asked for this and that. Whereas in this 2nd attempt, it was just my maid and me and we could bake the cake peacefully in the kitchen without any interruptions in the kitchen. This has proven right several times. We must have a calm and peaceful mind and not rushing and disturbed mind. The cake can sense the mood in the baker and react accordingly.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I posted Jaden's photos while he was admitted in hospital. When my friends saw the update, they were concern and posted several well wishes. Some of the friends called us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of all these, I have my school ex-classmate who stayed in the same neighbourhood as us. She was baking Hokkaido cake and she sent half a dozen to my house for my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Honestly, I've heard, read and seen so much about this cake from Japan but I've never got my hand into it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I tried the cake and hmmmmmm... it was yummy! The cake was light, not too sweet, had a very good texture and look pretty too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, I read post by <a href="http://quaypocooks.blogspot.com/2012/06/whats-worst-that-could-happen.html">Quay Po Cook</a> on her first attempt of this Hokkaido Cake. The recipes are simple and easy to prepare and the steps to make the cake is simple too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was in the mood to bake then. I wanted to put all these throat infection and high fever at the back of my mind and take life slow and easy. </div>
<div>
</div>
<br />
I went to House of Ingredients (HOI) and bought these:<br />

Unlike the normal tip for cake decoration, this tip for Hokkaido cake is longer to allow us to pipe whipped cream into the cake.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Method:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Place the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk them together with the 70g of sugar until yolks turn a pale yellow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Add the vanilla extract, followed by the milk and oil. Whisk well to combine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Sieve in the flour and baking powder and mix till all incorporated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. In another bowl, beat the egg whites on high for about 30 seconds until foamy, then add 50g of Castor sugar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Beat the egg whites until firm peaks not stiff peaks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Take a third of the egg whites and fold it into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Continue folding in the remaining egg whites gently till you get a pale yellow batter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Fill the cupcake liners until about 3/4 full. Bake the cupcakes for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops turn a golden brown and a cake skewer comes out clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the whipped cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
11. Once cupcakes are baked, let them cool completely on the wire rack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
12. Fill the piping bag with whipped cream and pipe into the cup cakes and put them in the fridge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
13. Dust the cupcakes with powdered sugar before serving. </div>

Overall, the cake tasted good, especially the whipped cream.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The one improvement required is the cake is not fluffy and light enough, resulting in difficulty to pipe whipped cream into a dense cake. I need to pay attention in beating the egg white.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am determine to try again and make this chiffon cake better. It will be soon,</div>

When I was a student, I used to admire those students whose articles were chosen and published in school’s year end book. I felt envy for their articles and names been printed on books and read by the entire school.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can’t remember how old I was then but I did attempt to write a "sajak" ie Malay poem about my love for my mother and sent in the poem to the school's editor board. Finally, when I received my school year end book in my hand, I quickly flipped through the entire book, searching and wondering if my poem was chosen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found it! It was chosen and published in the school book. I was so, so happy and felt the satisfaction and achievement in me. I wish I still have the poem or school book with me now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, I dreamed bigger. I wish to be an author, to have my own book … one day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubby and I had a meeting with a company that coaches inspiring authors to publish books. I shared with him my interests, my background and so call expertise, etc. The person shared with us the book publishing procedures, costs, risks, rewards, etc of being an author and to publish a book. We were not ready to commit on the sum to engage the company as my coach. So, the idea of being an author was shelved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few years later, when I was doing financial planning, the owner of the firm had always wanted to publish his own books too. He wrote articles for major newspapers and had the draft version of his book done but never got into publishing it. When he knew that my dream was to be an author, he approached me and asked if I was interested to help him in putting his draft book into printed copy.</div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I accepted the offer as it gave me the practical experience in publishing a book, work with editor to proof read the book, work on the book’s printed font and layout, getting advance praises for the book, organize event for the launching of book at Eastin Hotel, meeting MPH, Popular, etc to market the book and understand the mechanism, promotions and sharing of book sales proceeds, etc. After several months of hard work and enthusiasm, finally, the book was published, launched and marketed. And, when I saw my name being acknowledged in the book, there was a great satisfaction for the achievement.<br />

And that was it. Ever since, I have not written any book. With the emergence of online media, facebook, blogs, etc, I’ve started blogging instead, with the creation of this blog “<a href="http://jaredjaden.blogspot.com/">treasure memories</a>”. It was an attempt to realize my dream and to see how far I can grow with writing and blogging.</div>

I was having diarrhea for several days after taking the antibiotic given by my GP. After 3 days, I went to see her again as I felt lethargic and weak. She told me the side effect of the antibiotic is diarrhea. She prescribed me another course of antibiotic and asked me to stop taking the earlier antibiotic.</div>Saw Leng, KOHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01541716275175238670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826099165082739872.post-25618730119847998062012-07-05T00:02:00.000+08:002012-07-21T09:28:06.559+08:00Day 9 ...

I went back to work today. It's Friday, the last working day for the week and also the last working day for the month. My colleagues advised me to go back to work on Monday. Not sure if they care for me, wanting me to rest for another day and over the weekend or they were worried that my bacteria would spread to them.

Jared woke up with fever of 39.5C. We did not let him go for his tuition. In fact, we asked him not to go to school for the day. But he wanted and we were surprise! We thought he would be happy that he can miss class and all the homework.</div>

Jared went to school. We packed his medicine for him and advised him on the medicine intake. <br />
<br />
Jared called hubby at almost 4pm and asked him to pick him up from school. Hubby asked Jared to take the fever medicine in the canteen while waiting for hubby to pick him up.<br />
<br />
Last week, he told us that he has been selected to represent his class in a competition where he would play keyboard.<br />
<br />
According to Jared, he had school performance competition from 2.40pm to 3.40pm and Jared was the 26th contestants out of 58th contestants for his school standard. Jared told us that he won 1st place and will represent his standard in overall school competition. <br />
<br />
No wonder he insisted in going to school. This boy has a very strong determination and we are proud of him.<br />
<br />
Fei Yin suggested to give young coconut water to Jared to cool down his temperature. I am very lucky to have these caring friends surrounding me. On the way home, I stopped by a restaurant to buy young coconut for Jared. <br />
<br />
Hubby went back to our GP to pick up fever suppository, in case we need it for Jared late at night.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the pediatrician came to the room to check on Jaden, I finally made my complaint to her. Something that I wanted to complain since Day 1 in the hospital but didn't manage to see the pediatrician.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jaden was admitted to hospital at 5am+. The nurses at the Emergency Unit could not draw his blood for blood test and the blood was extracted by the pediatrician at 10am+. The nurse at the ward interpreted the blood test result wrongly as Jaden had viral fever and no antibiotic was required. Finally, when the pediatrician came at 5pm+, she told Hubby that Jaden had bacteria fever and then only gave the first antibiotic to Jaden in the hospital. I questioned the pediatrician as to why it took the hospital 12 hours to feed Jaden the very first antibiotic, especially to a 5 years old boy who had high, bacteria fever. Don't the hospital knows that it is very important for sick kids to have proper medicine on time?<br />
<br />
I cant turn back the clock but I wish the hospital improve on this and don't repeat the same incidence with other patients. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubby drove to KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital while I was carrying Jaden on my lap and sponging him. Jaden cried saying he did not want to go to hospital and asked us to go home. I also called ING to inform them of Jaden's high fever and asked them to prepare letter of guarantee to KPJ Hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We headed to the Emergency and Accident Unit. There was a few staff on duty. I carried Jaden down and told them "My son has high fever". There was no rushing and running, unlike those we watch on ER TV show. The staff direct me to a room, asked how old is Jaden, what's his weight, etc. The nurse gave him fever suppository while I distracted Jaden. There was no cold show but the nurse started to sponge Jaden, more wet than the way I did.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that, a doctor attended to Jaden. Two options were given to us:</div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Admit Jaden into the hospital for fever monitoring, blood test to find out the cause of the high fever and to be attended by pediatrician; or</li>
<li>To take Jaden home for own monitoring at home.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We chose Option 1 as we had never experience such a high fever of 40.3C and we would like Jaden to have the blood test to find out the cause of the high fever and to be treated and given the right medicine for his fever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thereafter, the hospital proceeded with admission procedures. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thereafter, the staff brought us up to 2nd floor, the admission ward. Jaden had a single bed room. Initially, Jaden refused to stay in hospital but luckily, there was a television with cartoon channel for him to watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I applied for emergency leave from work to take care of Jaden. We wrote down a list of things that we need to pack and bring to the hospital. The first thing came to our mind is iPad. Hubby went back to freshen up and organise things. Pediatrician came to see Jaden at about 10am and said Jaden had acute tonsillitis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubby came back to the hospital with my mother in-law. She offered to help us out during this period but I told her we should be fine. As the earlier blood draw for blood test was unsuccessful, the pediatrician drew the blood herself. She informed us the blood test result should be out by lunch time. Hubby left hospital to send his mother to Klang to visit her elder sister.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were constantly nurses coming in and out of the room to check Jaden's fever temperature, give him medicine, nebuliser, etc and hospital staff to bring in food and clean the room. I was trying to catch some sleep but it is almost impossible. The room was also very cold as the air-con was set at 20C to help to bring down Jaden's fever.<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text"> Jaden and I were
fighting over the iPad and I only got to use it after convinced Jaden to sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At about 2pm, I asked the nurse who came in and feed Jaden medicine about the blood test result. The nurse said Jaden had viral infection and no antibiotic is required.<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">
We have to wait for doctor to inform us when can Jaden be discharged from the hospital. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubby came back to hospital and I left the hospital at about 4.30pm to freshen up and catch some rest at home while I would be back after dinner to take care of Jaden in the hospital, if he still needs to stay in the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hubby called at about 5.30pm+ and told me the pediatrician advised Jaden has bacteria fever and they would give him antibiotic drip. We were confused with the different interpretation of the blood test result. The pediatrician also advised that Jaden needs to be monitored another night in the hospital as he still have fever of 38-39C.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I picked up Jared from school, came back for dinner and sent Jared to Kumon. By this time, I had not slept for almost 40 hours and I wasn't feeling good. I went to see GP and the GP told me I had fever with bad throat infection and give me 2 days MC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By the time I picked up Jared from Kumon and sent him home, it's almost 10pm. I was not fit to move any further. I told Hubby about it and he asked me to rest at home. The poor Hubby did not have his pajama or any fresh clothes to change.</div>

After medicine, I went to sleep.<br />

The start of Fever Marathon and Levain Boulangerie Patisserie<b>24 Jun 2012</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jaden woke up at 6am and came to sleep on our bed. I felt the warm in his body and took his body temperature. It was above 38C.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We fed him with his milk and gave him fever medicine. Later in the morning, while I was running my usual wet market shopping, Hubby took Jaden to see GP near our house. The GP said Jaden's throat is infected and prescribed him with antibiotic, fever and cough medicine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
After lunch, my plans are to visit our 3rd Auntie in General Hospital, have afternoon tea at Levain and go to temple for prayer.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We visited our 3rd Auntie in General Hospital. She had operation on her throat as her airway was closing and causing her difficulty in breathing. She was trying to eat green bean paste prepared by the hospital but had choke. She couldn't swallow food properly. A tube was connected to her throat. The nurse used a vacuum to suck and clear phlegm from the tube. It was so heartache to see her in the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the hospital visit, I suggested to have afternoon tea at <a href="http://www.levain.com.my/">Levain Boulangerie Patisserie</a>. I wanted to bring my mother in-law there. I have read so much and heard the good review on this cafe.</div>

The concept of the cafe was interesting with good selection of fresh breads, pastries, pizza, cakes, etc. Probably the cafe was too packed with customers and busy, I didn't like the feel of it. You have to look or wait for seat, self service, queue to pay and inform the cashier your table number and then, the staff will serve your drinks to your table.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The afternoon tea cost us RM62.10 for the few things that we had.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mother in-law was tired and suggested to go home. We did not make it to the temple for our prayer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At 7pm, Jaden's fever shot up to 40.3C. It was scary! We put fever suppository but Jaden made a fuss of it and took it out. I quickly sponge him and fed him his fever medicine. After a while, the fever temperature came down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 4 hours, Jaden's fever temperature went up again. At 11pm+, while Jaden fell asleep, we put fever suppository. Unfortunately, after 1.5 hours the temperature did not come down but shot up to 40.2C. We sponge him and fed him with his fever medicine and after a while, the fever temperature came down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I couldn't sleep the whole night but constantly sponging Jaden and checking his body temperature. I felt very discomfort and not at ease. After 2.5 hours from his fever medicine, I noticed his fever temperature on the rise again. It was worrying as it was just 2.5 hours since his last fever medicine intake. Finally at about 5am, when Jaden's temperature hit 39.5C we rushed Jaden to hospital.</div>

<b>23 Jun 12</b></div>
<div>
<br />
My mother in-law came to stay with
us as she planned to visit our 3rd Auntie in hospital, her friend who
stay in our neighbourhood and suffered from lung cancer and thereafter
to visit her sister in Klang.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It
was Jaden's kinder Parents Teacher Day where we had to go to the
kindergarten to review Jaden's learning and performance in school. Jaden
has been naughty lately and didn't want us to go to his kindergarten to
meet his teachers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our
review was at 8.30am. Hubby and I went to see the teachers. The review
was not that bad after all. Jaden is a quick learner and he stops once
he thinks he is good enough, which he does not attempt to excel further.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After
the review with teachers, we left the kindergarten and heard funny
sound coming from my car. We drove to our neighborhood tyre shop and asked
them to check out my car.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The
first technician said the sound came from the right rear of the car. He checked the rear tyres but could not find anything. Thereafter, another
technician came with cigarette on his hand and took a drive of my car.
He said the funny sound came from right front of the car. </div>

He
checked the front right tyre and saw this nail on my car tyre. What a
start of Saturday morning!<br />
<br />
Thereafter, I had my usual Saturday errands to run. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Mother in-law visited her friend who stay in our neighborhood and suffered from lung cancer. They used to do social works together.</div>

In the evening, we had 4 tickets for Shrek The Musical from our Auntie YC.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The musical was at Plenary Hall of Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. We planned to have dinner there before the musical starts at 8pm.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were not many choices of restaurant in KL Convention Centre. Jared chose Kenny Rogers and we had dinner there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
restaurant requires improvement on its cleanliness. The floor was wet
and dirty. I informed the cashier and told her it's dangerous too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
At
the foyer of the Plenary Hall, lots of people taking photos with Shrek and Fiona
cut out boards. They were also people selling Shrek souvenirs ie T-shirt,
Shrek hair band, Fiona hair band and program book, all at RM35 each.
We bought the Shrek The Musical T-shirt for Jared for remembrance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Surprisingly, the hall was not full. Lots of people said the tickets are expensive and indeed they are.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My
aunt bought RM390 category of tickets for us (out of RM190, RM290,
RM390, RM490 and RM590) and we thought we should be sitting in the
middle of the hall. But we were wrong. Our seats were way up, higher, towards the end of
the hall.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The musical was disappointing. I must say the Shrek movie is much nicer. The story line, the songs and pace are not interesting.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During
the 20 minutes intermission, we had coffee at the foyer and bumped into
Fatboybakes and family at the cafe. He shared the same comment and
opinion of the musical.</div>
<br />
Luckily, the 2nd set of the musical was slightly more interesting. By
that time, Jaden kept on asking me "when can we go home?" and "how long
more?".<br />

Amy Beh is my idol. In fact, she's my first baking teacher and her book "At Home with Amy Beh" by The Star is the very first cooking book that I refer to and had my hands on and ... they work! After several successful attempts, it gave me the confidence to cook and bake more. Nowadays, I always search and refer to her recipes on <a href="http://kuali.com/">The Star Online's Kuali</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we were there, it was 12pm+ and the cooking workshop was at 2.30pm. I saw Amy Beh getting ready and preparing for the cooking workshop. I couldn't recognise her as she looked younger than what I remembered her to be from her cooking book. I spoke to her and she must had seen the excitement in me and suggested that I register for the workshop.</div>

We only need to pay RM10 for the workshop and received a goodies bag with the above items ... 2 cans of Carnation evaporated creamer, 2 Carnation recipe books with recipes created by Amy Beh, a towel and a mug in a recycle bag. I registered for my 3rd Auntie and also for my youngest sister to attend the workshop together.</div>

Once the rice is cook, stir in shallots and ginger and toss well. Amy Beh did not recommend to fry the shallots or ginger as the taste does not go well with Nasi Dagang.</div>

The second dish that Amy Beh demonstrated was Thai Green Curry.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The green curry that we cook at home is from ready made paste that we bought from Bangkok. This recipe from Amy Beh shows how to make and blend green curry paste from scratch.</div>

The cupcakes were steamed for 10-12 minutes. I've never tried steamed cupcakes and find this to be very interesting. <br />

Amy Beh said she likes to steam cupcakes because the cakes are more moist and have softer texture. <br />

She added 2 cans of evaporated ceamer into the big pot of soups. Initially, my sister and I did not think the soup would be nice as it's very seldom for soup to have evaporated creamer added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But after we've tried it, we thought the soup was nice. It tasted like Fish Head Noodle soup. Amy Beh also suggested that we may add mee hoon to the soup and have it for lunch ... which is what we are going to have for tomorrow's lunch.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Mother's Day last month, we had our usual Family dinner at parent's house and I bought crepe cakes from Food Foundry. I bought the same cake from the same shop for the last Mother's Day celebration too. There was no fancy dinner at nice restaurant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this month June, there'll be Father's Day celebration. In addition, coincidentally, both of my parents will be celebrating their birthday on the same day. We have decided to celebrate all these celebrations in ONE and lavish dinner for both of our parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest, it is not easy to organise family dinner during Mother's Day and Father's Day as we need to find dates that all of us can make it. Not forgetting my siblings will also be celebrating the same celebration with their in-laws. We do not fancy pack, busy and noisy restaurants with bad service and compromise on food quality and yet at much expensive costs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We decided to celebrate Mother's Day, Father's Day, mother's birthday and father's birthday yesterday, a week ahead of Father's Day and also to accommodate my brother's family from Singapore to join us while it's school holiday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, I always wanted to bring my parents to experience the sashimi and steamboat Australian lobster and California Geoduck at Unique Seafood. Both are pricey dishes and not something that we eat often.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A week earlier, I browsed thru <a href="http://www.unique-seafood.com.my/index.html">Unique Seafood website</a> and was surprise to see the contents of the website which are very user friendly and informative ie locations of restaurants, promotion, signature dishes, their menu, etc. The "Member's Corner" with interesting Member Plan attracted me to find out more. </div>

For its Platinum Card Member Plan where for one-time RM1,500 membership charge, we will get RM2,000 worth of dining
vouchers. That is like 25% discount! I knew the dinner for our family will not be cheap and I bought the above membership plan.</div>

I made reservation at Unique Seafood a week ahead of our dinner. I requested for room with Karaoke as my parents, siblings and nieces like to sing. There's no additional charge for the room except for the service charge is at 10%, whereas if we sit at the restaurant hall, the service charge will be only 5%.</div>

Unique Seafood was packed with customers and we waited long for our food. According to the restaurant staff, some families celebrated Father's Day a week earlier.

Overall, it was a good dinner, albeit a little expensive (total bill came up to RM2,475). My family enjoyed the dinner which taste good and something special. I am glad that we had a room for our dinner with karaoke facility.</div>
<br />
My family left the restaurant at 11.10pm while the rest of them staying back to continue singing.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I subscribe to allrecipes.com. Just a few days ago, I received an email from allrecipes and its "Your Daily Recipe" was on grilled chicken with bacon and rosemary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remembered eating delicious roast bacon with dates prepared by Aunty Jenny. I'm not a fan of dates and now this recipe of bacon with chicken sounds good, especially I have rosemary in my herbs garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We tried the <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-chicken-with-rosemary-and-bacon/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=bacon%20chicken%20rosemary&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Recipe">Grilled Chicken with Bacon and Rosemary</a> from allrecipes.com for dinner tonight. It was quite easy to prepare. I've made minor changes to the recipe.<br />
</div>
<div class="ingredients" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<h3>
Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">Skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 8 bite pieces <span style="font-size: small;"><i>(don't cut too small as the chicken will shrink after grilled)</i></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">salt
and pepper to taste</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">4
sprigs (cut into 8 halves) fresh rosemary</li>
<li class="plaincharacterwrap ingredient">4 thick (cut into 8 halves) slices of bacon</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="directions" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<h3>
Directions</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Rub 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic on chicken breast and season with salt and pepper.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Lay one rosemary sprig on the
chicken breast. Wrap the bacon around the chicken to hold the rosemary on.
Secure the bacon with a toothpick.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break"></span><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Preheat microwave convection oven </span><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">and cook the chicken breasts for 25 minutes.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">If</span><span class="plaincharacterwrap break"> use an outdoor grill, preheat for
medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cook the chicken breasts until no
longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 minutes per side. An
instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165
degrees F (74 degrees C). Stay near the grill to combat any flare ups from the
bacon.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Remove toothpicks before serving. </span></li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
While the chicken was grilling in the oven, Jared loved the nice aroma of bacon coming out from the oven and kept on telling us that he's hungry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jared and Jaden love the grilled chicken with bacon. Hubby gave 9 out of 10 marks. I never expect full marks from him as he wanted me to keep on trying and cook it for him. If it's something that he doesn't like, he will politely say "Can I pay you not to cook this anymore?". Hmmm ... having said this, I've not heard this from him for a long, long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We can also cut the chicken breasts into smaller bite pieces and with the toothpick securing the bacon intact, it can be served as finger food during party or gathering.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is school holiday. For the last 2 years, Hubby and I would have our own holiday without the kids, in conjunction with our wedding anniversary. Hubby has been waiting for me to give him dates that I'm able to get away for a few days trip. I just came back from company's team planning session in Seoul and have not planned for any trip during this 2 weeks school holiday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two days ago, Hubby suggested to make a day trip to Kuala Gandah and Bentong. A parent of Kumon student recommended him to visit <a href="http://www.wildlife.gov.my/index.php/en/pusat-konservasi-gajah-kebangsaan-kuala-gandah-pahang">Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary</a>. He made some browsing on the internet and noticed that travel agent usually bring visitors for day trip to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary and <a href="http://pahangtrekker.malaysiatrekker.com/deerland.htm">Deerland Park</a>. He also read about <a href="http://waterfallsofmalaysia.com/25chamang.php">Bentong Chamang Fall</a> and since these 3 attractions are quite close by, he planned the itinerary for a day trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Initially, we were thinking of going on this coming Saturday of Agung's Birthday Holiday. Since it is school holiday, a week end and public holiday, we believe these places would have lots of people. Since I was able to take a day off from work, we decided to go on mid week instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We left home at 10am and reached Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary at 11am. Hubby read that limited stickers will be given out to visitors in a day and made the first stop at this Elephant Sanctuary to register and obtained stickers for the day. There's no entrance fee but visitors are encouraged to make some contribution to the sanctuary. </div>

Since it was still early, Hubby suggested that we visited Deerland Park which is located not far away. <br />

We reached this restaurant at Bukit Tinggi at 6pm and had our early dinner there. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We reached home about 7.30pm and were all tired, sweaty and smelly. But it was a good and productive day trip for the family.</div>
<br />
Suggestion for the trip:<br />
<ol>
<li>Wear light and comfortable clothes.</li>
<li>Bring water, sunglasses and caps as there are a bit of walking under hot sun.</li>
<li>Wear comfortable shoes and shoes that can resist water if go to the Chamang Fall</li>
<li>Make the first stop at Elephant Sanctuary to register and collect stickers as there is limited stickers given out in a day, especially the yellow sticker for rides and bath with elephants. </li>
<li>Allow ample time for lunch, suggest have early lunch as there's only 1 cafe in Elephant Sanctuary and everyone is rushing for the 1.30pm video show.</li>
<li>Bring peanuts and banana to feed elephants.</li>
<li>Make some contribution to the Elephant Sanctuary as there's no entrance fee, for the maintenance of the elephants and park. </li>
<li>Bring extra changing clothes and towel.</li>
<li>Be careful if swim at the Bentong Chamang Fall</li>
</ol>

After the “plain and expensive” steamboat from Bandar
Menjalara over the CNY, I’ve decided to have my own steamboat at home. I think
I can do better than that session of steamboat. I invited Meng Siew and group
of friends over for steamboat lunch.</div>

and told Moch what to prepare for the steamboat and off I went to TTDI market

The group started off with Meng Siew and I back in 1985. The group
expanded to our spouse and spouse friends and it expanded further to our
kids. It is certainly a friendship that I treasure very much.</div>

I like steamboat. It is healthier as compared to BBQ, easier to prepare and wash up after meal. I enjoy having steamboat with family and friends, have a good catch up while waiting for soup to boil.<br />
<br />
I've had steamboats at restaurants, family and friends houses. My best friend, Christina had also invited us for steamboat dinner in Klang and also at her house. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based on testings and eating steamboat at all these places, I've been making and having guests over to our house for steamboat meals several times. I'm compiling them here so that I can share with friends and also for my own reference.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Occasionally, Jared would have this "clearing throat" sounds and it was getting more frequent that its affecting his sleep and study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We took him to our neighbourhood doctor and doctor gave him medicine and dose of antibiotics. After several weeks, the condition still did not improve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We like this paediatrician in SDMC but we do not frequent him often as SDMC is far away from our house. Previously, this paediatrician only prescribed him with a small bottle of nose drop (sodium cloride).<br />
<br />
I suggested to Hubby to take Jared to see him for his situation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Lee said Jared has nose allergy and his nose lining damage. The drip from the nose drip down through the throat causing the irritation to this throat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Lee advised Jared to stop the bad habit of clearing the throat which is not necessary. He advised Jared to swallow saliva and drink warm water.</div>

<b>5 May 2012</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Wesak Day, I used to go to the temple at Brickfields with my sisters and family. After a few years, we changed to Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Society at SS3 Petaling Jaya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few years ago, my 2nd sister recommended us to go to this Maha Karuna Buddhist Society at Bandar Pinggiran Subang 2. To me, I am OK to go to whichever Buddhist Center so long I can celebrate Wesak Day with my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We've been to Maha Karuna Buddhist Society for several years now. There were quite a number of activities lined up for the Wesak Day Celebration ... bathing of young Prince Siddhartha's image, chanting, sprinkling of holy water by monks, offering of food to monks, donation, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were also vegetarian food offerings at the Maha Karuna Buddhist Society. There were lots and lots of food donated by devotees and volunteers from the center. Last year, I told myself that I would make something, either cupcakes or puddings, for the food offering too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, the Wesak Day fell on the weekend just before Jared's mid year exam. I was thinking if I should still make cupcakes. If there's a will, there's a way? Let's just make it happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I planned the cupcakes, ingredients, cupcake liners, plastic containers, etc. I bought all the things a week before as I know I'll be busy at work and also preparing for Jared's exam.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was already 10.30pm when the last batch of butter cupcakes came out from the oven. For the frosting and finishing of cupcakes, Moch and I did it like factory production method. She put cupcake into cupcake container, pass to me for icing frosting and she would put fondant flower on top of the icing and cover the container with dome lid.</div>

These boys were sitting next to us. Their mother, without knowing that I made these cupcakes, complained to me that her kids just wanted to eat those cupcakes and nothing else. The mother has to stop one of the boy who had eaten 4 cupcakes!</div>

My sister saw this monk eating my cupcake and asked me to take photo. But I was a bit late and he had finished the Mocha cupcake. I was so thrilled that the monk ate my cupcake as the food offering on the table was so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cupcakes were all eaten or taken home. It was such a nice feeling and it's great that how a small little thought and contribution can make me feel so great, especially on this meaningful Wesak Day.</div>
