Home cooked meals

Its tiring cooking 3 meals a day but i prefer home cooked or baked food as its healthier and more hygienic. i buy meat every fornight and fruit n vege every week.I spent 40 mins cooking lunch and i cook enough for 2 meals so i only cook lunch 3 times a week.today i cooked angelhair pasta in minced chicken bolognaise sauce.for dinner i spent an hour cooking cantonese steamed egg roll with fish paste and stir fried french beans,shitake mushroom n chinese sausage in oyster sauce.to buy a packet of readymade egg roll will cost rm28.for rm 20 i can make 2 egg rolls and handmade 10 bpuncy fishballs.home cooking my comfort food of childhood.

Japandi

i like the east west fusion of Japandi as it is clean and simple minimalist style.i like the hygge comfort of Scandinavian designs with the natural Zen minimalist principles of Japan

.It exudes a serene mood. i like living spaces that are functional for daily needs and then it must reflect our cultural identity.i saw in architectural digest designs of indian homes that reflect ethnic identity .i mix and match the traditional n the contemporary in a living space.

Beautiful sunday

Heavy rain yesterday ruined my morning zumba but today was beautiful sunday zumba at kiara park.My mates said i looked like a different person in short hair but its easy now to wash,dry n go and swimming is easier without long hair.yipee i like the free and easy lifestyle.

In the swing

My niece Cal is like me,a teacher who has a zest for dancing.She enjoyed learning modern dance when she was small,was captain of her high school cheerleading team until she fell and broke her wrist doing a back flip.But when she went to work,she continued her passion for swing dances in a social dance club.i prefer to dance outdoor in the park to enjoy the sun and fresh air.At least we are not like the China damas who dance to loud music at public places,disturbing residents nearby.the worst place they dance is at the cemetery for war hero memorial.they have no respect for the dead.Aiya let the ghost rest in peace.maybe they feel that the zombies wont complain of loud music unlike living beings.what crazy damas is totally socially unacceptable.creepy to dance next to tombs.

In a calm zone

The yoga cum meditation spaces allows the body and mind to relax.i like quiet space to spend time alone to reflect n prioritise self care away from digital devices.digital detox can clear the mind from.clutter and i feel after i empty out ,i have more lightness of being.

Happy Mooncake festival

My zumba mates went for Tai Chi at 6am.They were supposed to pick me up at a food court but they couldnt find me.They couldnt recognise me with short hair as i havent cut it so short for 10 years.we went to a new village wet market and the cost of meat n vegetables is at least 30 per cent cheaper.then we had breakfast at a kopi tiam.good n cheap food. After cooking festival dinner of hawthorn sweet sour chicken,a radish carrot soup and baked salmon in pesto n sundried tomato in olive oil,,lo hon mixed vegetables. tonite i played a lantern with kitty.he doesnt think lanterns are cool.i dont think he should try sweet mooncakes.one is cantonese pandan lotus with egg yolk,another is rose jelly mooncake,yam snowskin n finally osmanthus jelly mooncake

Crazy weather

Sunday zumba was cancelled due to. heavy rain.i got wet in the rain as it was unexpected.so went to yum cha at dim sum comfort food at SS 2 with steaming plates of rice rolls n crystal prawn dumplings. then did grocery shopping for the next 2 weeks and went Lotus n Giant for chicken,frozen satay n fish.wet market for kenya avocados n local papayas n green vegetables.back home sent clothes to spin dry at coin laundry as rain made clothes damp again.then i cooked soba with chicken for lunch and braised chicken wings and chinese spinach in big clams and goji berry soup Last nite i had cramp in my leg so this morning i went park to do an hour of qi gong and workout machines for an hour.felt my body is aching all over so i went for Thai massage at Sawadee.its my twice a year annual massage.the Thai masseur says my muscles are hard and taut like a boys body .She is brutal and uses elbow,feet and knees to prod,push and pull n i nearly yelled in pain.but after that banyak syiok as body felt totally tuned up after a maintenance.she got me hot ginger juice to drink and i had a good nap like kitty.
