The Tale of One the Two Mamaks


 
Finally, some time to upload videos from Denise's birthday party. I apologise if the video comes out tilted 90degrees. Change your layout for these videos if you don't want to end up having a sore neck.

I'll try and upload the other video... and then you be the judge... Who will take the Teh Tarik Crown?

Celebrating 14th Birthday With Friends Since Kindy


 
The usual suspects...
I'll find one more with just the girls. In the mean time, this will have to do.
Yesterday was Birthday Round 3 for Caitlyn. Round 4 coming up soon!
She's worked really hard this year and we are really proud of her achievements. So as a reward, she gets to choose her birthday celebration styles....
She's not showy, she just want to spend her birthday with people she loves.
Here they are, almost a decade later. Can you guess who's who?

24 October 2014 ~ Happy 14th Birthday!

 

 
Some of Caitlyn's favourite foods!

Look at the colourful Smörgåsbord!

A very unique combination from Sushi Izu. The sushi was absolutely fantastic.

No party is complete without Colonel Sander's Secret Recipe!

Let The Christmas Feasts Begin!

Thus begins a marathon of Christmas dinners with friends..... and it's only October! The theme was "Yummy Christmas!". Although we see each other at work, we hardly have time to chat. Tonight was perfect for a get-together. The food was superb in massive portions, the ambience was just perfect and the company was absolutely fabulous! Till our next one!

You Can't Be Too Careful These Days...

To deter my 3 year old niece from stealing the keys to her car and driving it, my sister bought this state-of-the-art steering wheel lock..... stashing the keys helps too. But you can never be too careful with 13 year olds... I mean 3 year olds.....

Howdy, Mommy!

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming Swimming Swimming ~ Dory

 
We'd like to thank Philina, Richard, Denise and Randall for having us over for a nice swim. While the kids were splashing about, I was clad in a hoodie, shivering from the cold winds despite the blazing sun, enjoying a cuppa tea and chinwagging with the hostess.
A relaxing afternoon indeed... and the best part was despite struggling to stay upright on the poolside chair, my back behaved itself and that, my dear readers, is one happy Adelene!
 
So happy!

Dear boy felt so at home in the water
 

This egg and custard pie deserves a worthy mention as it was made by Derrick, who provided afternoon tea. This wobbly concoction was an agak-agak sweet.

Happy Semi-Retirement, Helen!


 

Sista Bams, what were the names of the dishes again?

Words failed me, for once... so I planted a big lip print on the card instead. 
Happy gardening, Helen! 
Does the macaron match my dress and earrings?


Look at the pretty ladies all sitting together... as sweet as the sundae in front of them.
 
Another valued member of the ward and a dear friend semi-retiring and hopefully it doesn't mean we do not keep in touch. Till the next do, happy gardening & cooking, Helen! Looking forward to your chwee kueh soon!
