Rantings, ravings & ramblings of a rollicking mind

Paint my love…

The other day, I took my daughter to this dental clinic for a thorough check-up before she leaves for New Zealand. I guess it would be better to get that done here just to make sure, as the charges overseas may not be so affordable. I waited for her in the waiting room and I [...]

Millennium (2)…

I have not been to this restaurant for quite sometime… …and yesterday, my friends and I, together with my daughter and one of my friends’ kids, ended up there for lunch – 5 adults and 2 children altogether. We had the mixed meat platter… …and the sweet and sour fish fillet… …as well as the [...]

Don’t throw it all away (2)…

Looking through the fridge yesterday, I found a carrot and a potato – left overs from the X’mas party. Now what on earth would I be able to cook with those? There was also a bag of tomatoes that I had bought but never got to use. In the end, I decided to use them [...]

If I could turn back time…

If I could turn back time, I would be able to go and buy something at this shop at the time when it would reopen for business… LOL!!! I saw this at the entrance of a bakery in the vicinity of the Sibu Civic Centre…but I’m sure it was just the slip of the fingers, [...]

Milk and cookies…

…I’ve got to do just what I’m told ’cause Santa Claus is gonna be dropping in on me Now is there something I might have missed I had quite a few things on my list I hope he can fit it all under that Christmas tree. Now I know what he likes for a late [...]

Get the party started…

Well, it had started…and ended, and I sure am glad that everything went well. The company was great and there was more than enough food for everybody… My sister brought a cake – blueberry… …and intechfly, formerly known as housefly, gave some turkey. He also has a post on the party in his blog. My [...]

Waiting for tonight…

Well, it’s Christmas morning… …and we’ll be going for the church service later and after that, we’ll have to drop by my parents’ house for a while to wish them a Happy Christmas and then, I guess we’ll have to rush home to get ready for tonight. My missus has called her family over for [...]

I say a little prayer

Christmas trees, tinsel and lights aglow It’s Christmas time once more Gaily-wrapped presents under the tree Faces full of smiles and glee Christmas turkey, pudding and pies A feast to behold before our eyes Clinking glasses, filled to the brim Friends and kin in candlelight dim But in the gaiety, let us remember Somewhere in [...]

Mouse loves rice…

Well, this is some sort of unsung hero…as one hardly hears anybody mentioning it unlike the celebrated kampua noodles in Sibu. If I’m not mistaken, it is made from rice flour…and is shaped something like cendol except that it is white in colour and not green. Owing to its resemblance, it is called ngiau chu [...]

You spin me round (like a record)…

When I was young, we would have open houses twice a year – once for Christmas and another time for Chinese New Year…and I would be stuck in the kitchen with my mum helping her with the preparation of the ingredients for the cakes and cookies or the chicken curry that we would serve to [...]
