Category: Marriage

It’s amazing how BH is just the opposite of me.. and because of that we complement each other 🙂 This is when I feel that marrying your BEST male friend is the BEST thing which had happened to me! haha..

Last saturday, we decided to bake pineapple tarts. Nope.. it’s not the first time we r baking them .. we baked them last yr too.. maybe coz I only bake them once a year.. I got quite rusty 🙁 The day before, I’ll mk the pineapple paste. However, the paste didn’t turn out well 🙁 I was very upset but I pluck up all my courage and redid it from scratch again. Yes! It turned out very well the 2nd time 🙂 Happy but tired!

The following day, I attempted to mk the pastry (dough). Somehow, the dough didn’t turned out well though I did everything the same way!!! 🙁 I was soo disapted and wanted to throw the dough away… I attribute all these ‘failures’ to omens that it is gonna be a bad year. Just when I was so upset and frustrated.. BH came to my rescue! He was like ( not like he’s an expert! I mean.. usually, I do all the preparation and he’ll just do the assembling part) ” just add more water.. it’s too dry ” I was in absolute sadness and convinced that everything is gonna go downhill… so I just let BH play with the dough… BH did a fast search online and did his magic ( put water in dough) and….. lo and behold….. he made the crumbs stick!! I’m just so glad that he was around.. I would have gave up and threw everything away!!! 🙂 The point is…. PINEAPPLE TARTS were sucessfully made and it taste better than the past year’s! As a result, I rewrote the recipe so that in future… I’ll refer to my own PINEAPPLE TARTS recipe! 😀

Thank you BH for your support and encouragement! What can I do without you??? I don’t know!! That’s why 🙁 and I hope the feeling is mutual!

Do you have a favourite surprise? 🙂 I have several!

1) My MOST favourite surprise is when BH comes home early from work! I’m not sure if such surprise will happen when we move to Redmond 🙁 anyhow, BH came home 1 ‘ my favourite surprise’ day and causally mentioned ” Hey ( sadly, he calls me ‘hey’ > another story ), i think the last week of this month, you don’t need to cook. I’ll drive to work, drop u at our new place. Pick you up for lunch. Go to work and pick u up in the evening, have dinner outside then go home!” keke… sounds cool!!

2) No need to cook?! That’s my fave surprise too!! No no… pls don’t get me wrong, I love to cook… BUT excessive cooking mks me v brain-dead, esp. thinking about ‘what to cook’ Basically, I still like cooking…

3) Learning that I can cook! You know… the most surprising POSITIVE thing i learnt about myself for the past 2 yrs since I’m here is definitely ” I am quite a good cook! ” Not being thickskin here… BUT I love reading recipes then trying them out! It’s v exciting to me! and yes… Besides the post office, I spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen! Just that I haven’t been updating my food/cooking blog 🙁

This is so random..you are reading a very random entry….. *stop here if u r bored*

At times, when u r so absorbed and focused on other things, you tend to forget what really matters. Unfortunately, it happens to me all the time.

It was last sunday, BH and I decided to pamper ourselves, so we went out to our fave Japanese resturant – Maneki for dinner! I had no idea why we were both craving for sashimi… actually, the best place for sashimi is nearby Vancouver, but driving 3hrs just for food.. sounds toooo ridiculous!

After a very happy and satisfying dinner, BH and I were on our way home. It felt like a date! I have no idea why! Then again… everyday with BH is a date! what more can I say! I found another surprise! I am on a date everyday! hahaha…

– when we are at home, BH does his stuff, I do my stuff ( HOUSE DATE)
– shopping for ‘deals’/groceries ( SHOPPING DATE.. duh!??! aka OTOT = Own Time Own Target. Coincidentally, we shop at the store TARGET. haha..)
– watch movie together ( MOVIE DATE)

and the list goes on….. I wish… we’ll nv run out of dates!!! ( That’s coz we are just stuck with each other doing all these silly things… like it or not!!! :D)

ok… 1 last picture of our date with BULLY! keke… This is called AMAZING DATE

(I hope BH won’t kill his ‘date’ as I put up such a silly picture of him with Bully!! hahaha)
