En Meei and Jih Fah's Wedding Ceremony and Dinner

Today is En Meei and Jih Fah's wedding ceremony follow by dinner at the Chuai Heng Restaurant at Kuchai Lama.

Since it is held on Friday, a working day, I have to rush back to my house at 5.30PM sharp to get prepared. Ezel was well dressed by Ken and other things that need to bring along was well prepared. Ezel was dressed in the new dress that I purposely bought for her for this occassion. I quickily get bathed and dressed. Then, make-up a little and rushing out.

We arrived late about 7.15PM due to the traffic although the wedding invitation stated 7PM sharp while the wedding ceremony is an half an hour earlier, 6.30PM. Apparently, both the wedding ceremony and dinner have not started yet.

At about 7.45PM, the wedding ceremony begins with the priest giving a short speech. Then, En Meei was leaded by her father to the stage whereby Jih Fah is waiting. The priest then read out the speech that we usually heard in Christian wedding ceremony in Cantonese dialect. The priest then asked if Jih Fah is willing to take En Meei as his wife and he asnwered "I agree". Then follow by En Meei's turn.

Ezel was a bit scare when the crowd clapping their hands. Maybe she never see such a big event like this. She seems confused and stunned but did not cry but I assured her that it is OK. Maybe she is wondering why people started to clap together.

About 9.15PM, dinner was served and I gave Ezel to eat some of the foods. She likes them very much and I bet it is because of the artificial flavouring. She did not make any fuss along the dinner.

The wedding dinner is ended at 11PM.

Beautiful Ezel

Laughing happily

Curious looks

Am I beautiful and cute?

Tagliatelle/Macaroni and Cheese with Broccoli and Ham

Another recipe from Healthy Baby Meal Planner : How to give you baby the best of health and vitality by Sara Lewis.

This dish is for babies aged between nine to twelve months.

Ingrediates - makes 600ml/1 pint
115g/4oz broccoli
50g/2oz thinly sliced ham
50g/2oz Cheddar or mild cheese
300ml/half pint formula milk
50g/2oz tagliatelle/macaroni

Well, some of the ingrediates are hard to find especially the cheese. I having a difficult time looking for Cheddar cheese as I am not familiar with the cheese varieties. I searched the Internet to look for it but not much information I can get. Finally, I got this Edam cheese as substitute.

Edam cheese

Actually, when I started to cook this dish, then only I realised that I do not have tagliatelle. Luckily, I have macaroni. So I used macaroni as substitute for tagliatelle. I followed the instructions in the book to cook and it turned out as shown in the book.

I gave Ezel to try but the sliced hams are still too big for her. She still get choked when she tries to sollow it. Nevertheless she likes this dish very much.

Ken said it might due to the favouring of the ham that makes it tasty and she likes the taste.

MSN Snoopy Cannot Be Use

Ever since I installed the back-dated MSN 7.5 version to cater to my beloved MSN Snoopy skin, I keeps getting MSN notice saying that I need to upgrade to the latest version - MSN 8.0. Somehow, I ignored the notice as I really like my MSN Snoopy skin so much!

However, today finally my MSN Snoopy comes to its end. MSN informed me that I need to upgrade to MSN 8.0 in order for me to use the MSN. Thus, I have no choice but to upgrade to MSN 8.0 leaving behind my MSN Snoopy. :(

Carrot, Lentil and Coriander Puree

Another recipe from Healthy Baby Meal Planner : How to give you baby the best of health and vitality by Sara Lewis.

This dish is for babies aged between six and six-and -a-half months. Somehow, I still plans to cook this dish for Ezel to try as I missed few recipes in this stage. Actually the red lentils was bought few weeks back but I do not have the time to try out this recipe.

Never too late, I try out today and here are the ingrediates :

Ingrediates - makes 600ml/1 pint
350g/12oz carrots
175g/6oz potato
50g/2oz red lentils
2.5ml/half teaspoon ground coriander
300ml/half pint formula milk

Well, I skipped one of the ingdrediates that is the ground coriander as I am not sure what it is or where can I find it. Nevertheless, I still able to cook out the dish as the instructions in the book.

However, the red lentils seems not soften even I simmer it about an hour. Finally, I gave up and scoop the dish into a plate and sieve (strain) the red lentils out from the mixture.

It is not turned out so smooth and the dish is not much leave after the sieve process. Somehow, Ezel seems to loves this dish very much!

Sorry, dear! It is too much of work and time consuming. Guess you are able to taste it once. :P

Snoopy Madness

Apart of the MSN Snoopy skin, I also downloaded the Snoopy folder icons!

Thus, I changed some of my desktop icons of usual and standard type to have Snoopy's 'look'. I changed 'My Documents', 'My Computer', My Network Places' and some of my folders icon.

It is my working place whereby I need to face it everyday. So, why not create or put something you like so that you can work happier?

MSN Snoopy Madness

I was surfing the net yesterday when I found this MSN Snoopy skin. From the preview, it looks really cool and cute. So I downloaded it and tried to install.

Unfortunately, it only allows to be run only old version of MSN, version 7.5 which my current version is MSN 8.0. As I am really wanted the MSN Snoopy skin so badly, I purposely uninstall my MSN 8.0 and download MSN 7.5 and install it. Then, I install the MSN Snoopy skin. It really works!

I am so happy and it really looks cute and adorable. I never imagine that the MSN Snoopy skin is this cute. I love it to dead.

Breakfast @ McDonald's

We brings Ezel to have our breakfast at McDonald's Mutiara Damansara. It was Ken's idea and I am wonder what Ezel can eat. Ken said that she can take bread and hash browns.

We ordered our breakfast. Ken takes a sausage McMuffin™ with egg set while me takes the Big Breakfast™ set. We place Ezel down in the McDonald's high chair and she is very happy and smilling because of the cartoon characters.

Then, I gave her some of my bread and hash browns. She enjoys it very much and keeps asking for more.

Ken said when she is older to know what is McDonald's, she will keeps asking us to bring her here.

Sure she will, my dear!

Happy seeing the McDonald's cartoon characters

Looking around

I am at McDonald's!

Ezel Can Drive?

After work, we went to Tesco to buy some groceries.

We parked our car at the parking lot. After parking, Ken said to me that Ezel likes to "drive" the steering of the car. He said Ezel enjoying it very much. I said I do not believe him.

So, he picks Ezel up from the car seat beside him and put Ezel in front of the steering. Once Ezel is on the steering, she smiles happily and enjoys it very much!

Ken said he will train her to become a drift driver since she have the "potential".

My dear, are you serious? Ezel just a baby girl!

Ready, get set and go!

VVVrrrooooommmmm........................

Am I parking OK?
