There is Santa Claus

see!! people are weird, or, I'll say, people really have nothing better to do... (sometimes... ooh, especially the american! see!!! even to breastfeed or not to breastfeed, they need to argue on and on and on, do write up, publish paper..., then, to breastfeed in the public or not, they need to make such a big hoohah!!! then, to co-sleep or not... again, they make such a big hoohah, I guess, their common sense sucks, sometimes...)

and now, "whether to tell your kids, if there is/isn't a Santa Claus", sometimes, is still debatable...

come on!!! give me a break...

a simple kid's story book, can tell you, how to tell your kids...

if you bother to learn...

I love Usborne publication...

in fact, though, those books are targeted to children, BUT I thought, by reading to my baby... I learn a lot from there,

particularly, the story of chocolate, and now...

nearing the festive season,

on... how the people around the world celebrate christmas!!!

and why you guys wanna debate if there's santa claus, or if santa claus exist??

yes, there is, he's St. Nicholas!! that's all...

see!!! the american, they buy tonnes and tonnes of presents to their kids during christmas, and yet, they fail to tell their kids...

christmas is about giving... and St. Nicholas, is a giving person...

bla!

 

 

At the end of the day... Alcohol's the BEST~~

ya... at the end of the day...

see... he started to be not that well... in our household... since... 1.5 week ago???

then, finally, my turn...

it's all about weekends...

cos, weekends, despite of the REST that normally what people do...

it's family time,

it's friends' time,

it's outing time...

we go to church,

we go to dinner appointment,

we do grocery shop, + window shopping...

and bla bla bla...

end up, all three! very very very tired...

so, when tiredness hit us... we're bound to get sick...

what more to say, as my EDD's near soon,

I've to get up early every saturday, for the routine checkup... till THE day...

right?

then, sunday? no, can't sleep late, gotta go to church,

I told him, we'll try to go for the evening mass on saturday, but then, if we're too tired, during the day, we end up not able to get up again... there, we have to go to the sunday morning mass... bla bla bla...

anyway...

so, finally, I got the virus too... just not too severe in me, only a bit of coughing... that's all... but then, I was worried... after the BIG day... I can't afford to laugh out loud, I can't afford to sneeze, and what more to say, the cough... it'll be damn painful on the wound man!!!

(I still remember, for my first one, I actually requested one of my friend, who'll always make me laugh-out-loud, not to come visit me in the hospital... cos, I don't want to hurt the wound on my belly!)

so, I was thinking... hm... I can't let the cough continue till then...

I can't be taking simply any medication over the counter... and anything herbal, simply works SLOW!!!

and it happened that, he's always complaining that, he's tired, even he goes to bed early, but he doesn't get much quality sleep...

so, I thought about all the good tonic wine, Yomeishu, DOM...

and it also happened that, he thought I'll need some during my confinement month, and he bought from the airport... while I told him, there're still a few bottles left at home...

why?? see!!! during my last confinement, in year 2009, I blamed it all to the confinement lady that we had...

first, she didn't know how to really cook proper confinement meal... and I asked her to use DOM wine, she cooked one, tasted damn awful... and I can't even swallow a bit... so, end up, the food went to the bin, and that's it... and she DARED tell me that, anything cooked with DOM is like this... DOM doesn't taste good...

so, I'd the impression that, DOM wine's awful... and that's the reason, those 2 bottles just sat in the cold storage... still this day, when he added another bottle to the "collection"...

and I decided to take it out for a try...

since cooking's bad, maybe I shall just drink it...

and he can try having some, I read that, if you drink it, before you go to bed, you'll have a very good sleep...

and I can't remember how and why and when, somehow in my memory, if cough's bad... had some hard liquor, it'll cure... ^_^ haha!!!!!!!

so, DOM is out...

he'd it,

I'd it...

I told him this,

it doesn't really cure the cough dramatically and immediately, but somehow... it makes it not worse and definitely controllable... AND yes... I sleep well at night...

I asked him... same thing happened to him, sleep well...

see!!!!

sigh... though I'm not an alcoholic...

but at the end of the day,

alcohol, does solve a lot of problem...

cheers...

My Visions

Visions! The pots!!! The Visions… hahahahahaha!!!

Did I tell you, I'm sooooo in love with these pots??

If you can read chinese language, you can go visit other countries' visions websites in worldkitchenasia.com,

For eg. Taiwanese visions, they share some different type of recipes… ie. chinese way…

Then, I learnt that, ooh… I could really try using visions to cook rice…

I've been using visions to boil soup, cook porridge, and stew…

But not really rice,

Then, after I tried… hm… not bad, it's just that, you gotta keep an eye on the fire… (if you happened to use gas stove…)

Anyway,

Now, I could almost use visions pots to do/cook anything, seriously, anything, except one last thing… ie. fry fish (the chinese way) and fry eggs… a wok still can still do a better job…

However, though, I can use a wok to fry fish, fry eggs, I don't really like to stand in front of the stove too long, inhaling all the oil… the smoke and so on…

That's why, VISIONS?? Is damn perfect for my cooking style…

I even use it to cook pasta, stir fry the pasta…

That's WHY… where I'm leading to is…

I've already had these… (which I got as a set from parkson)

 

You see?? They're kinda narrow…

And now, my wish list…

 

Haha!!! The biggest one's 5L… the one in the middle…

The smaller ones, you can use it to cook instant noodle, and boil eggs, and so on… or heat up milk… (if you wanna have hot chocolate)

The point about visions is…

You can just cook in it… and serve… and also,

Come on!! Glassware's the best… stainless steel? Tefal? All had "bad" comments about these products, and glass??? The most ori material, used to make these pots… no-smell, no chemical reaction and bla bla bla…

Gosh!! I really so damn love Visions man!

AND if you're an oven person?? Ooh… you can just chuck it into the oven… I just have to keep telling you, this piece of product, is damn good!

Don Quixote

ok... this will be a short post... very short...

supposed to tweet, but more than a tweet, so, I post...

japanese drama,

Don Quixote... (you can go wiki, apparently a hero??)

anyway,

1. matsuda shota... gosh!! gorgeous, especially as mobster head...

2. see, I'm not so a kimono person, I mean, I don't really find any woman in kimono will be THAT attractive, but then, uchida yuki... ahem... I thought, she looks damn good in Don Quixote...

3. drama itself?? though japanese had come out with "soul-swap" type of story line, I thought this one is pretty funny... I do laugh... well, somehow, I do appreciate japanese joke... ya, somehow...

Anybody know where to get these?

Dominos Online Order Trackers...

Cute isn't it??

Order placed at 4 something in the afternoon, I scheduled it to be delivered at 6pm,

Then… I saw this monitor window, and I didn't logout, just wanna see if it works…

Ooh… actually it does oh…

Cute! That makes me wanna order from Dominos more often in the future…

the New Shinichi...

Ok… I remember what I've said about the new shinichi (conan) before…

And ok… I need to correct what I've said…

See! it's my weakness… ie. japanese guys… ^_^

And again, I think, partly this owes to the main role, ie. shinici - performed by Mizobata Junpei (溝端 淳平), ok… he's kinda cute!! (see! my weakness… any japanese 男優 is kinda cute to me… kakaka!)

  

See!! After watching the series (not the SP version) I've decided, both him, and Shiori Kutsuna's not too bad afterall…

Ok… ever since I saw Mizobata in Shinzanmono, he really IS kinda kawaii~~ ^_^

If they will make a part II, then, I don't mind either… but now, I know the internet is flooded with the Ranma 1/2 real person's version… however, all the guys… err… (frankly, not really looking forward to it… ^3^)

ooh, she's quite observant indeed...

she stared at this game for a while,
suddenly, she said, "2 lemons",
at first, I didn't get what she meant,
she repeated,
blink!
I said, "oh! ya! there are two lemonade stalls...!"
^_^ maybe she likes lemon,
that's why she picked that up... but then, that reminded me,
what he's told me,
ie. kids are actually more observant in regards to the surrounding, as compared to adults…
