4 in the bed...

and the little one say roll over, roll over,
they all rolled over and one fell down.

Guess who fell down?

The father of course!

Big C fell down that day cos Jayden was "kungfu" kicking in sleep and he was sleeping sideways with his leg facing the father. hahahhahaha

Imagine if Justin sleeps with us on the king size bed? hahahhahaha

Anyway the lil one managed to roll over before cny. Approx 4 months 15 days, just before I shaved him botak.
Yeap, he's a very happy botak boy!

Today, he is 5 months old. Time flies eh?

Sunmaid Raisin Cornflakes Cookies

One of my favourite cookies EVER! I lost my mum's cornflakes cookie recipe and I thought I can never eat such a nice cookie anymore until my sis brought over a copy of cookies magazine. Immediately i flip through and saw CORNFLAKES cookies! YAY! So I baked some for CNY. My first batch was slightly overcooked cos Jayden refused to let me go into the kitchen. But I ate ALL. So I tried again and I thought I should double up the ingredients and make more. I thought I wanna share and give some to my neighbour- menjalinkan hubungan baik ma.. but then hahaahahah I looked at my cookies and then I ate some.. then I though... NEXT TIME LA! But what I was so pissed about was, I went out to buy something and I came home with half the cookie missing. My maid sapu half the container! $#@%#$ can really eat like no tomorrow but that proved something also la.. means it tasted good. :) Must give warning to her - Do Not Touch My Corn Flakes Cookies!

I added raisin into the ingredient cos :
1. my mum used to bake cornflakes cookies with raisin.
2. Teik Senn sent some over for me to try together with Sunsweet Prunes, Tulip Ham, Diamond Zipper bags, and many more. Thanks Hui Min!

So here goes:

Ingredients:
A
100 gm butter
80 gm caster sugar

B
1 egg (grade A)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

C
150gm plain flour
15g custard powder
30g cornflakes
50 gm Sunmaid Raisin

D
Smashed cornflakes

Steps
1. Beat ingredient A until fluffy, add in ingredient B. Mix well, fold in ingredient C to form soft dough.

2. Use spoon to scoop out small dollops of cornflakes raisin dough and drop it into D, smashed cornflakes. Coat well and leave in paper cups. Place on baking trays.

3. Bake in preheated oven at 170˚ for 15-20 minutes. Cool and store in airtight jars.

Result: YUMMY!


Additional tips from Teik Senn/Sunmaid: Soak the raisin in hot water for 10 mins to get better results. The raisin will be soft and yummylicious compared to using it straight (it will be slightly dry)

Abandoned Project ~ Continued

This was one of my abandoned project for more than a year. After I have done the first part, then I found out I was pregnant. So I abandoned this project and now that Justin is out, its time to continue and finish up the project.

The idea came when we wanted to get some nice art deco for our house. But we went and look around , either its tooo expensive OR we have no idea what that art is trying to tell us. (yeah la.. u know the colour splash here and there and you want me to pay for that ah? Jayden also can colour like that...) So I told Big C, nevermind let me do something that we will all appreciate and look at it very often.

So I drop by a walk in shop in DU and got Justin's pic printed on a tarpauline and then headed over to the hardware shop to buy some wood. Those flers just can't cut the wood straight. But I make use of whatever I have and assemble everything and everything went crooked.

Then our door guy came to fix our very crooked door ( old houses in these area got crooked doors- we need specialist to come and fix the door). I tell you.. he looked like this fler...


Eh dream On la.... he looked like this fler more!

Muahahahahah

Since he was here, I asked him to pinjam-ed me his saw so that I can redo the frame and make it more sturdy. This uncle is really nice, not only that he pinjamed me his saw he even taught me how to make exact 45˚ corner. Dun play play .. his saw very sharp. Satu kali move the thing patah..


You need to put the corners so that the frame will stay intact. You can see its senget without the corners...


And then I joint the corners to the frame with nails and then placed the tarpauline photo on the frame. I forgot to buy thumbtacks so I used stapler


And the final result...


It might not be perfect (in fact slightly senget cos we need to put the pictures really high up on staircase wall and then we didn't have the right tools and cny is round the corner..so just hantam la) and it might not be so beautiful that makes u go WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. But we like it, cos it relates to us. Something that we will appreciate and look at everyday when we walk up and down the staircase.

P/S: If you wanna make one for yourself, go to Ikea and buy the frame at Rm15. I got to know about the frame AFTER I completed this project. But its slightly smaller than mine, Ikea's is 1.5ft x 1.5ft.
