lina, how's ur bkk trip? got buy at least 1/2 of bkk back? :p

sch, i use such massenger for my lower back aches lah.. n hor, i gained some weight from all the biz trip food.. not sure if it works for slimming thou.. i got smth similar at home too but bgt from shenzhen n is more exp in shenzhen lor.. so when i see it so cheap in watson, die die must buy.. as my backup if the shenzhen one decides to kong ka kiao..

eh, tdy never see the jwee tiao bu bunny?
 
LINA!!!!! welcome back!!! juz realised your name if change the letters a bit, become LIAN leh... wahahahaha... no wonder....

everybody go holiday lor... good lor. me so envy... xian la. dunno when can go again.

ant... control control!!! dun buy back the whole watson leh...
 
ant, i wish 2 buy 1/2 of bkk back =) but not enuf time & $$ lah. i post some pix within the next 1-2 days 2 let u gals c. the mini massager nice 2 use meh?? i had something similar in the past, but didn't like the feeling, felt more like being electricuted rather than msg ...

hahaha levynn, now u noe huh, tt's y i hv 2 live up 2 my name. u also can go mah, those short weekend gateaways can b quite shiok as well. btw, can u recall roughly hw much u spend in Redang? hubby thot of gg, but by cruise instead, maybe the angmoh new year period.
 
heehee.. lev, i got no more HKD to spare to buy hk watson back.. ahaha.. i reserving my $$ to buy taipei's watson back.. taipei's has very interesting products.. they even have heat pads just for menses cramps n alot of funny slimming products..

lev, u can go holidays during sch vacations right? plan something lor.. holiday getaways are very good!

lina, when i first try those massager, i also have tat feeling.. den slowly get used to it.. really good when my back aches esp nearing menses timing..

n hor, if go redang or tioman during ang moh new yr period, it is their monsoon season leh.. alot of water activities can't do, boat ride to the resorts is damn choppy.. i tried tat once to bintan, nearly puke lor although it is only 45mins boat ride..

now wairing for my colls to end mtg in order to go for lunch.. grrrrrr... stomach growling already..
 
lian lina... that time we went to Redang... we only spent on food, which can b quite a lot. coz we can only eat at the restaurant in the hotel. food not cheap leh... convert to sing$, almost like we go eat at swensen's here. n they even ran out of water, so no choice, we had to take fr the mini bar. all in all, according to my ah lao, we spent ard $600 betw the 2 of us.

ant... this sch holiday only 1 week. think not enuf time. guess have to wait til nov lor...
 
My cyst will be removed tis Sat lor.. gg for my Op this sat.. as for my FIL suspected cancer so still waiting for the result lor.. not too sure yet..

terrible traffic conditions on one of the nites. thank god 4 the BTS and MRT, if not will b damn sian 2 keep stucking in traffic jams when u wan 2 go out. heng i only gena 1 traffic jam, on day of arrival, took >1 hr 2 get 2 Asia from airport
 
399019.jpg


our "snack" at Fuji Restaurant at MBK. damn happening, all the ingredients very fresh, cheap & good. & i bought abt 8 kg worth of local food products (pork floss, dried mango, etc) 2 feed the army at home. the lady at chinatown very nice, helped us packed swee swee in a carton ...
 
wah lina - u bought sooooo much..make me feel like goin bkk again!

joniel - my fren who eat the red rice say her parent soak them overnight leh..if overnight sounds too long, y don u soak the brown rice in he mornin b4 u go to work?
 
lina... u really bought a lot of things leh! how long were u at Chatuchak? i dun think i bought as much as u when i went there last yr. n 8kg worth of food pdts??!!! *faintz*
 
happy.gif
quite alot hor. CTC's one of my favourite shopping area cos the pple r warm & friendly, the one place where i feel tt bargaining can b fun (though i'm nt good at it p). my hubby was so sweet 2 follow me ard, w/o complaints, + he had 2 help me lug all my purchases =)

Levynn, i was there on sat, 8.30 am to 4 pm. i bgt the food pdts at chinatown on fri noon, the best part is i only kept 1 pack of pork floss + 1 pack of dried mango 4 myself + hubby, & gave the rest away.
 
Good Morning!!!

WOW LINA!!! Happening sia!!!! Oh yah....i love their Fuji Jap Restn....nice, shiok & cheap! I also love their Coca steamboat too, their tom yum nicer.

Levynn - indeed my ah lau shop more than me. That's true!!!!!
 
KA... really ah, ur ah alo shop more than u?? then not bad leh... at least he won't complain if u shop for too long, or juz go window shopping. my ah lao already warned me long ago... if shopping dun ask him along.

lina... pei fu leh! u can stay so long there? when we were there, we reached CTC ard 9am, then by 1 pm plus, already cannot tahan... esp we had to squeeze thru the crowd who is trying to set up some more stalls in betw those other shops. that time was really very bad... we were so squashed up that we had no choice but to really push our way thru, if not others will push u along another direction...
 
i was surprised tt i could stay there so long. heng the crowd tt day was ok, not too overly crowded. after we left CTC, we went back hotel to shower and rest (abt 1 hr), then went 2 MBK shop abit more, then went 2 Patpong 2 get cufflinks. round off the day wif foot msg at midnite! really engergetic then, now tt i'm back, i feel lethargic, hehe
 
Normally I will reach CTC as early as 7am. Lesser crowd & not that hot too. By 1pm, I almost cover those that i wanted to shop than back to hotel to pong pong!

Levynn - true also. if my ah lau is those who dun like shopping at all...than i rather go with my galfrens than asking or forcing him to join me. Coz end up you wont enjoy yrself at all.
 
wa dng lai liao. nah, sch, your fav SQ table cloth lai liao!

sweet and sour chicken
chilli prawn
wong bok and hir yee (thanks, skylar)

sweet sour chicken:
marinate chicken with salt, pepper, sesame oil, rice wine
soak mixed veg in hot water
in a bowl, mix tomato ketchup, chilli sauce, rice wine, vinegar, sugar, cornflour, water
fry chicken till brown then add the sauce and then the mix veg

KA - CTC open as early as 7am? wah.... i want....

lina - next time when you want to go BKK, can i tag along? :D

joniel - we just put about 10% brown rice to 90% white, then more water than usual. we don't soak btw
 
elloooooo.. greetings from taipei..

deadbeat siahz.. juz reached hotel from 1 full day of market visit.. had very nice lunch and dinner.. lunch was typical taiwanese cuisine but it has an interesting concept.. upload pics n show u gers another day.. dinner was hubei dishes which is very spicy.. very shiok..

wanted to go night market tonight but too tired from work.. hopefully tml will not be too tired..

lev, u asked about brown rice right? mine is short brown grain, not sure if it is any different from yours. but i realised when i mixed with white rice and cook, brown rice damn tough. so what i do is add alot of water to the brown rice to cook. abit like cooking porridge. then when the brown rice is 'boiling' like porridge, i will add white rice grain and cook. den this combi will be just nice.

my mil say got some types of brown grain rice that do not need such longer cooking time, so i'm not sure too.
 
sch/pink: thanks for the advice on brown rice.

ant: is i ask not levynn ask abt brown rice..haha..u fly until blur liao. i dun quite get the part u say abt adding the white rice grain. does it mean u cook the brown rice in a separate pot and then when it boils, u scope up and add into the rice cooker together with the white rice grain, tio bo??

thanks.
/joniel
