Just the way I am blogging. MiKu (Pink tortoise mantou). My two daughters love mantou. I love miku (in Hokkien), miku is actually a pink tortoise pau that Chinese would make to pray to ancestors on altar at home, or bring to temples. I actually made this during the Nine Emperor Celebration (九皇爷诞）. My pink tortoise mantou were in mini size one. I used raisin to make their eyes. They were actually very soft and nice. Next time, I must try to make yellow tortoise mantou by using pumpkin. Golden Sand, Penang.

Just the way I am blogging. May is nine today. Today is my little May 9 years old birthday. We have celebrated her birthday in advance on weekend. Her big sister too, stick a post-it marker on the calendar. April wrote "阿臭生日", we called May as 阿臭(stinky) at home. lol! Because she is very funny and silly at time. She lines all her stuffs that she is going to use from Monday to Friday on weekends. Should I praise her for getting ready in advance or should I label her as lazy bum? We are the champions.

I love exercise | Blog with Yan
http://sheohyan.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-love-exercise.html
Just the way I am blogging. 5 years ago, my husband signed up the family package at one of the two recreation clubs in the town. Upon joining the club, I took up the yoga lesson, my daughters started their ping pong lesson and we went to the pool occasionally. I can easily spend 2 to 3 hours in the gym, I run my 7km here and 10km there, while chatting with other members to kill the boredom, otherwise Lite FM or My FM from radio are my best companions in the gym. I love exercise because I know I'm fitter.

Just the way I am blogging. Wish me luck to be King of Bukit Larut. I missed the Taiping Run on 21 December 2014 due to my Archilles tendonitis. I swear to myself that I must sign up another run once my ankle is fully recovered. Desperately, I signed up the 10 KM, Women Open King of Bukit Larut on 26 April 2015. Tomorrow is the date. I am kind of nervous. I know that it is going to be very tough for me, as I only run on treadmill. Morning, I must take something nutritious, energy-packed and healthy. ...

Just the way I am blogging. My weekly red beans soup. I have been cooking red beans soup religiously on every weekend.

I put in "kuih bakul" just 5 minutes before I off the slow cooker, otherwise the "kuih bakul" would melt and dissolve inside the soup. Red beans soup is...

Just the way I am blogging. YAM's Belly button challenge. After seeing so many people posted their pictures on FB, YAM (Yan, April and May) also took belly button challenge on one of the evenings during the last school break. My 11 years old, April attempted the challenge by wrapping her left arm over her waist. She succeeded without much hassle. Then, April attempted with her right hand. Again, she didn't have much problem. Lastly, the fattest woman in the house attempted the belly button challenge too.

Just the way I am blogging. Rainbow looming fun and Disney Princess songs. My two girls got their two sets of Rainbow Loom from two lovely friends of me. Thanks ladies. April shows more interest in rainbow looming than May. Actually I show no interest in this new toy too. Thank Goodness that April is able to seek help from YouTube. She manages to loom some very nice bracelets by viewing the step by step from the videos. So far, she made a few bracelets for May and me. She also made for her classmates.
