A letter to Dad. by aunty loh

Dear papa,

Happy Father Day!~ hoping you enjoy the simple father day celebration and hope you like the shirt that i bought for you as gift.  :D

I remembered when we were small, we used to make you a card on your birthday or father day. But later on, we found out that our titik peluh artwork creation was being throw here and there and never will be kept well. Since then, we never will make you any card again because we knew that you will not appreciate for this kind of gift. Haha. As we grew elder and elder, we tend to kongsi money and buy you something that is really useful  :D   It’s glad to see you wear on the clothes that we bought because u look great in the cloth that we had choosen. haha.

Unlike others daddy, you are neither fierce nor strict to all of us children. I remembered i used to sent my school exam record card to you for signature whenever i got a B or dropped in the exam result. Mummy surely will scold if she see the result and i knew that, you is much more kind and will never take any “discipline action” to me. Ngek Ngek Ngek.

Papa, you are really a very  forgetful person. I bet you don’t remember anyone of your children birthday because i never receive any birthday greeting from you for the past 23 years!~ Surprisingly, 2 years before u gave me a Diary Book as Birthday present that made my siblings jealous on me!~ hehe. I am the lucky one!~  :P   I remembered there was a time when i was small, u bring me out for shopping and you HAVE FORGOTTEN that i am following you. It ended up with my name was being reported to public and you come to bring me at the LOSS AND FOUND COUNTER in shopping mall. kns.

Papa, sometimes you are really do better than mummy because everything i asked for you to buy, you will never reject. HEHE. I remembered last time when i wanted to buy an expensive swimming suit very much and asked for you sponsor, straight away you give me the money!~   For the same thing i asked from mummy before that, she is not allowed no matter how tired i begged just because the old swimming suit is not broken yet.

Papa, sometimes i really feel that you very berat sebelah 1 loh!~ You sayang my youngest brother more than anyone of us loh!~  Last time when we were all primary school, you always bring my youngest brother ONLY for movie, fast food and left me with elder bro and sister at home during weekend. After came back home still want to show off to us how great the movie is!~ gerrkkkk……

Papa do you know that your cooking is very geli ? haha. I remembered last time when mummy is not at home and you become the Chef to cook dinner for us. You cooked the curry fish without cleaning the fish’s organ!~ all the items in the fish stomach come out and mixed with the curry. Walaoyeh!~ this is the most terrible dishes in the world!~ and i remember you cooked the steam chicken until all its skin hangus and you cut the chicken to either too big size or too small pieces. Aiya, in conclusion, bad in taste and appearance also lah. Can you pls don’t cooked again? Honestly, i really dont dare to eat at all even a very small pieces. HAHA.  :D

On the other hand,  i feel lucky enough that papa you do not has the same attitude like me toward Geli Food, otherwise, all my FAIL COOKED FOOD have nobody to support already. You are my Biggest Supporter!~ I remembered there was a time that i put so much effort to bake a tin of coconut cookies, and dunno due to what reason, my cookies is just like YUCKKKSSS!~ Even myself don’t take it after tried the 1st piece. Guess What?? My dad helped me to finish the whole tin!! hehe. This make me not giving up to try something new recipe because i know that all the ingredients / effort/ energy will not be wasted. Someone is going to help me finish it. Ngek Ngek Ngek.

Aiyoyo, papa, you know that your stomach is already so big like 9 month pregnant lady ah? *shake head* Sorry..partly is our fault because we used to feed you with all the food that we cannot finished. haha. I am so proud of you to have a big stomach that can put in soooo muchhhh food, so that we will not feel guity to the food wastage!~

oops. i wrote so long story edi.

Papa, hope you always pink in health and happy forever!~ I am sorry if i had any mistakes that make you sad or disappointed sometimes. I am very thankful to have you as my father!~ :)

Love you Forever.

Loved From your daughter,

Hsiling

Actually there are still a lot a lot of stories about my dad that will not has the ending.

I do not stick to dad as sticky compared to my mum. We talk less to each others and mostly our topic is more on discussing the serious stuff like loan, fees, rather than tell jokes or sharing story. My dad like to keep everything at his bottom of heart instead to share with us. But, we know that everything he did is for all of us benefit.

I am so glad that this year father day all my siblings able to come back home to have a simple celebration. :D

We have our reunion dinner at Mushroom Stall and we ordered all types of famous food at there!~ Yummy…Yummy… Deliciuos!~ The dishes included: Oyster Sauce Crab, Ikan Bakar, fried Lala with special spicy sauce, thai fried rice, Man Yee Mee, Dai Lok Mee, Popiah and roasted chicken wing.

Dad and his most look alike son, youngest brother.  hehe.

My dad’s wife, eldest son and his youngest daughter.

I REALLY FEEL BORED TO WORK LIAO LA!! Gerrkkk…

Ohya. Not to forget wish unclechan good luck and all the best in tomorrow exam!~  :D

Good night, bye.

Chicken Soup with Sea Coconut by aunty loh

I love soup very much and i just couldn’t stop myself to have 2 or 3 bowls of soup continuously in order to keep my belly satisfied. hehe.  :) There is nothing best than having a bowl of hot and yummy soup in front of you, right after you are come back home from an extremely stressful workplace , it is even best if it is prepared by your loved one. Ngek Ngek.

I believe most of the Chinese also view soup as a soul and indispensable part of a perfect meal as i do.

Frankly to say, i am quite bored to have the almost same soup everyday. I WANT SOMETHING NEW!! and i wish TO DISCOVER MORE DELICIOUS SOUP!! So, i have bought a recipe book which included more than 100 types of most popular soup  from China, South-east Asia and Western Countries. Some soups have the healing qualities as well. Hopefully i have enough patient to try every single recipe   :oops:

Today, i have boiled the first soup in the recipe book and i wish to share the recipe of Chicken Soup with Sea Coconut to those who are interested :D   According to the recipe book, this soup heals coughing, reduces night time urination as well as nourished the lungs and skin.

Ingrdients:

300g sea coconut
1 chicken
19g red dates (stoned)
12-16 cup water
pinch of salt

Method:

1. Clean the chicken. Scald and rinse in cold water.

2. Peel the outer coat of sea coconut. Stone red dates. Put both in a pot and add water.

3. Bring water to the boil. Put chicken in a pot. It takes about 15 minute for the soup to boil after adding the chicken. Once it boilds, turn to low heat and simmer for 3 hours.

4. Sprinkle salt to season.

Da da.. this is the outcome!~

The taste is really fresh to me. *thumbs up* This is what i am looking for. Something different and Delicious!

Few days before, I heard that Balsam Pear 苦瓜 can fight for pimples. I hate Balsam Pear :(   But i hate my pimples even more.  So, no choice, this evening i have bought some balsam pear from hypermarket and mixed it with orange and blended into juice.

Surprisingly, the taste is not as bitter as i thought. Maybe i have added in orange to neutral back its bitterness. Quite a healthy juice because no sugar is added. I am thinking to make it as a habit to have a cup of blended vege / fruit juice everyday. Yeah… this is a way toward a healthy life..  :P

I have heard many to say that  The way to man’s heart is through his stomach. I dunno how true it is? We gals all know how we feel when boyfriend gives us flowers, maybe men feel this same way when a woman cooks for them?

Whatever lah.. But i do believe that when you make his stomach happy, you also make his heart happy!  :lol:

When men are fed, men are happy.  :cool:

So girls out there, Sek Zhou lah!

and also man out there, i believe the easiest way to approach a girl successfully is to cook her a perfect meal. It saved you alot of time and money. hehehe.  :P

Dunno when only i can eat something cook by unclechan leh? haiz….    :cry:
