Anthony and Joanne

My niece (Cleo's sister's daughter) is currently staying with us, while my sis in law looks for a new maid to help out.

Fong Fong now has a new playmate...

Fong Fong has not gotten used to the idea that he has to share his toys...

Get off my toy!!!!

Fong Fong has also decided that sitting in the basket is more comfortable...

Lately he has taken to climbing and sitting on the basket...

Fong Fong tends to like to push Joanne around when she is in the stroller...

Fong Fong to chasing after Joanne...

But ultimately they get along ok...as long as Fong Fong is the one holding on to the toy!!!
Barbecue at Beh Deh's House
We decided to have a bbq at Beh Deh's house over the CNY holidays. Initially Khai Yee and me were supposed to foot the cost of the bbq, but Beh Deh was kind enough to "belanja"

The boss and host for the BBQ making sure that the table is setup...

The host and his "kuli" adding more charcoal to the BBQ pit...

No time to talk...just eat...

Only Fong Fong has the time to look around...

Curry Puffs
I made curry puffs over the weekend. It is surprisingly not as complicated as I thought it would be. I followed a recipe by Amy Beh from The Star newspaper. I still need to work on my fluting technique so that they look prettier. They tasted just like the ones you would buy from the makcik at the roadside stall. YUM!!! :)

Chinese New Year 2007

A usual Chinese New Years Eve dinner was a lavish affair....so much food for 4 adults and one baby.

Abalone, Celery and mushrooms...

The obligatory but politically incorrect shark fin soup with crab roe...what the heck, it taste good!!!

Cleo's inherent artistic abilities resulted in this "masterpiece"...

Ancestral prayers...

All dressed in red for 1st day of CNY...

Even Fong Fong and Cleo were dressed in red...

Fong Fong receiving "ang pow"...

Refusing to be carried....

Fong Fong loves "playing" the piano...

Ladies dressed in their finest...
