One fine day in 2003, I decided to start a food blog to tease my sister and my mother who were both living in the USA. Somehow, along the way, I ended up feeding a lot of people just via the food pictures that I put up everyday. In 2005, I decided to take a break from blogging and just take it easy. So there were sporadic posts from my travels in the US as well as Germany and England. Now in 2009, I'm trying to pick it up again and start chronicaling my journey towards a better lifestyle that is more healthy than what it currently is right now.

: : 4th day of CNY : :

Okay, so I’m jumping back and forth with my postings for CNY. Forgot that I had these pics lying somewhere in the mum-mum pic folders. I went to visit a lovely couple from KL who were back visiting family. Also brought along Henry (a teddy bear made from Build-A-Bear) which I got for their son from the USA. Of course, we would have to wait for him to be born first.

Ah How : Here! Try some! Cannot find anywhere else!

Wena : *munch*munch* Taste familiar lah! Know it’s not halal but cannot place it lah!

Ah How : Aiya! It’s homemade Kai Chai Peng (Chicken biscuits). My auntie make one. Cannot find anywhere else. You probably had the thicker version from Kampar.

Wena : Oh ya! That’s rite! This is better!

I regretted not asking to tapau (get a doggie bag) some of the biscuits before leaving them.

Wena : Oohh! So cute! The little round biscuits (center) look like those old Chinese coins.

Pegs : Haha!

Wena : Cheese biscuits (lower right) and the pineapple tarts (looks like a porcupine, middle right) tastes so good.

Pegs : Here! These are also cheese biscuits.

Wena : Oohh! My favourite! (Yeah yeah… I love CNY cookies alrite).

Pegs : Ooppss! Someone makan (eat) most of it lah. I refill for you to enjoy.

Wena :

CNY is all about eating and eating and eating. Thankfully, no one made me suffer through any drinking sessions.

Calling home.

Daddy : By the way, I met up with the Chin sisters on Monday at their Dad’s house.

Wena : Really? Cool.

Daddy : Ya! The eldest said that they both visited your blog every day!

Wena : Wah! Hee hee!

Daddy : And the eldest took me aside to introduce me to the young man by her side as “This man is Wena’s father. She maintains that mum-mum blog.”

Wena : Hahaha!
