preparations for the new year

my weekends have been busying helping out in making the new year food stuffs..pineapple tarts, kueh bangkits, almond cookies.
mei posing for me while waiting for the stuff to bake

very important step for kueh bangkit - frying the flour!



enuff pineapple to puke :S
poor joy and novi grating the yam
home made traditional nian gao

my fav almond cookies!

i loveeee the packed cupboard.
we have been making alot of stuffs, but somehow they are given away instead of us eating them?! no one loves kueh bangkit at home, only joy eats the nian gao, only 2nd aunt eats the pineapple tarts and only me eats the almond cookies. i wonder why we waste time, money and effort to make stuffs that we give away in the end..weird family.

weekend eating trip!

me went to malacca over the weekend with aunt's bunch of friends. a pity mabel didnt come along, else i'd have enjoyed it more. anyways, all i got was a top from padini for travelling! so disappointed in the shopping.. but the food i ate made it up! on average, we would be eating every 2 hours.. yep but my stomach was making noise when we were climbing up a mini hill to see the st paul's ruins. there were 7 of us in total and rented a toyota estima. not very impressed with estima cos the auto doors didnt work on slightly slopey roads.
