chronicles of young

啊~ 又到了拜六，坐在上个礼拜坐的位置。  荣耀大君王， 欢迎你在我们中间。 你应许了我们，而且是远比我们敢想象或启求的。  真的是化腐朽为神奇，哈哈想到这是我的华文老师跟爸妈说她不能做的。你在我们里面成了奇迹，通过这些渺小胆怯的心灵动工。 好期待主日，Sunday School 后要和姐妹们 (haha literally; it's Mrs Yong and Dilys) 去吃韩国buffet :> 然后回家，静静地在主面前。又是一个充满福分的星期。  过后 | 贪吃记 在从小吃到大的咖啡店等爸妈，都说不饿。看到新开的中国拉面店，就叫了碗一起吃。妈妈说，没拿辣椒啊~ 我就去拿，不小心拿了一大把麻辣油，她竟然都搅进面里。惨了爸爸不吃了。  流了大把鼻涕，舌头麻到痛，不过吃到很爽： 走过香味肉干店，妈妈问，要吃豆沙饼吗？ 我说想吃旗子饼，那种没馅的。  啊！妈妈就走向我因为怕衅臭从来都没去过的店铺，那个五金店卖各种各样的饼干酥饼，看了很开心。两个贪吃婆好像眼看就满足了，没有旗子饼。又走到另一个店铺，那边暖暖的，因为她再磨花生，香味莫名令我快活。又是不同的粿，在那里终于有我们想吃的。Angku kueh <3 一边走一边吃的零食最好吃。咬一口，喂妈妈一口，一人一半感情不散。

一个美好的早晨。吃着慢煎糕 （因为昨天在美食节目上看到厦门的慢煎糕好好吃）。我告诉妈妈，和表妹因为婆婆开始的Google 照片文件夹，有一张大姨的照片，照得好像模特儿，好美。妈妈说，你跟她讲，以后一定买好吃的给你吃。（哈哈我在爸妈眼里一直还是贪吃鬼） 过后我说，要找一个适合的旅行，不用走太多路，但也不是很轻松，带婆婆去。  妈妈就说，带她去越南咯！爸爸插进一句：她哪都想去，要你们带她去。  啊，不懂婆婆有没有跟你讲，以前有个邻居，现在中了Parkinson's，婆婆去看她，一直流眼泪，好心痛。她的手指鸡爪一样，虽然脑袋清醒可是不能动。我就跟她说咯，不要懒惰，现在可以走的时候就不要一直呆在家里。  这个阿婶是有读书的，是她们当中的 leader 这样。 记得以前折报纸做纸袋, 以前哪里有plastic bag! 还有那些喝水的袋子，那些绳子都是手工串，绑的，现在都是机器 liao。100 个，两毛钱，补贴家用。我们还是比其他孩子幸运的啦，婆婆没有叫我们一定要做，喜欢做就做一下，没有说要在家里不可以出门。 哇，还有以前都是一块儿的，有个卖lor mai gaai 的，不知道她的名就叫她 lor mai gaai 阿姨。新年的时候，有一个邻居做kueh bangkit, 就会招我们：来啊来啊！以后久了就像一个commitment 了，每次都帮她。就在家门口烧炭，现在做这样，一定 tio complain! 她新年就一定会买一件新衣上门。 Ah Leng Ah Peng 的爸爸她们小时候就带到婆婆那边，拜拜就上班了。公公在家的时候就会带她们去kindergarten，会买吃的给她们，所以也是跟公公很亲。  哦，公公也是每次买东西给我吃。公公说的，卖烧肉的，说这个baby 很可爱，就切烧肉给你吃。你这个贪吃的就吃了。  好啦，快点喝完一起洗，不要浪费水。

That was what I really wanted to do, many times this past few months of 2015. The last weekend of May I literally slept it away (Yes, that was the week I wrote my previous post which was brimming with passionate adrenaline). Fast forward to this weekend. Saturday Woke up at 7am to travel to Aljunied for Playmax 4 briefing. Got horribly lost even with Google Maps when walking through many Lorong Geylang Roads. But I was feeling inquisitive and didn't mind it one bit (except for the fact that I was running quite late). Walking through the roads with the temples, migrant worker hostels and jumbled mix of buildings, I felt like I was on an adventure. Hightailed back home to make onde onde, buoyed by the wonderful opportunity to fulfill Jesus' commission in such an exciting way. Life lessons from making onde onde : 1. The recipe looked so easy I cannot resist making it because onde onde is like the trademark of a domestic goddess; alas the too-easily-thrown-toget...

Attempts at vegan recipes. Kimchi fritters Vegan choc cake Made the rest below in one day with my good old friend. With a lot of help and advice from A, her domestic helper. Onde onde! Glutinous rice packets that pack a real punch cos of the bird's eye chilli. Most of the work done by A Kueh Dadar

Hey. Its a clinche, but time flies huh. School, serious stuff, teen angst... ... just couldn't find the mood to blog. Or take pictures of what I made. I have my own brownie recipe now!! No pictures though :( But take a look at these: Onde- onde, pronounced onday onday. Its a type of kuih, which is Asian pastries/cakes/snacks mainly steamed. This has palm sugar, gula melaka in it. The green colour comes from the pandan (screwpine leaves)  juice incorporated into the dough. Yum. And this is sorta a failed thing.. There are sliced apples below with cinnamon oatmeal cookie dough on top. Though it tasted superb, it was a pain to take it out. But still, yum. That's all for today.. no more remotely interesting photos to show off. :) a random photo of Marina Boardwalk in dear lil' Singapore.
