My 2009 Winter Solstice Dinner

22DEC2009 - Winter Solstice or also known as Tung Chee Festival!

This year it is just only my brother and I celebrating together in KL so seeing we can't think of what we wud like to eat so.. what better way than to eat a nice home cooked meal.

Just a few simple dishes with a main theme -- MORE MEAT!! (special request frm Kevin Lau ha ha) So I tried to incorporate as much meat dishes as possible ha ha

Of course, we had to have dumpling which I bought ready made and frozen. For a change, I decided to use soya bean milk as a soup base. I must say it turn out quite refreshing after being chilled. It was a long time since I last cooked.. so I must say it turned out alright after all :P

All in all it is a cozy meal :) That's what the festival is all about right?

Meet Squirrel -- My Master, The Chihuahua

Meet Squirrel, my beloved best pet Chihuahua!

He is black and tan little boy! Not that small anymore I guess, he is 7 yrs or more in human years and 1 1/2 yrs old in dog years.

It was love at first sight when I saw him at the pet safari in Ikano. Once I picked him up, I just had to take him home. The lady at the store, said "Chihuahua are quite timid so you shud keep him in the cage at least for a few days, otherwise it may be to traumatic for them in a new environment" Not my squirrel.. within minutes in our home -- he was galloping around following me! He never had any problems getting used to us.

So here he is .. still hyperactive, dare devil and he secretly thinks he is a rottweiler :)

If you have ever been around a chi hua hua, you will know he is not like any average dog. They don't do tricks, they don't follow rules and they don't take no for an answer ha ha! They are excellent people reader btw....he knows exactly how to worm how to behave around each individual to get their way. Sneaky little things!

But.. all I can say, a pet makes so much difference to your life.. suddenly you have a higher purpose and someone who is waiting for you to come home.. Be really excited everyday to see you! :)

Blogss...

Hi there..
Yes, I am about to join the fray of bloggers and I have no idea how to start or what to say but I reckon blogging gives you the freedom to say whatever you want right?

Well, you might ask -- why now?! Hmmmm.. to be honest, I think it is just because I wud like to have a space to share the happier things in life. Too many times.. we spend our day complaining (myself a guilty party as well) that we seem to miss the lovely things in life...

Most of the time there's plenty of blogs about what is wrong with the world, about food but I do love blogs which are "much ado about nothing" ha ha.. just some interesting things you see around the world and little details which makes life all worthwhile.. hope I can keep it up!
