Enjoying Coffee At Victoria Peak,HKG

I'm enjoying my coffee at Victoria Peak,Hong Kong now.Today weather is really bad and I can see nothing of the Hong Kong view.Actually ,my plan is to go to Ping 360 but due to weather inclement,the cable care stop operating..So far,I really enjoy my trip in Hong Kong.I took bus,subway and ferry to wherever I'm going.The subway map and system is very clear and easy to understand.
Yesterday,I bring Mishu to Ocean Park.The park is OK,not much attraction.Of course,I was in Disney World last summer and I can't compare both park at the same level.Tonight we are going to Temple Street(Mui-Kai) and Ladies Street(Lui-Yan Kai) again.I love both street,plenty of seafood,food and bargain clothes.We stay at the hotel not far from Ladies Street.The people here is quite good and friendly .I always ask for direction and advise,they willingly assist me with map .I will definately come back to visit Hong Kong again in future.
Okay,I have to run now.Mishu want to go to bathroom..I will update as soon as I can when I have time. Continue to Read More..

Fine Lingerie

My mother in-law ask me to shop with her in our local department store for her plus size bras.She was a overweight woman is past but after her weight lose,she still have to wear plus size bra but in smaller version.I keep looking for the better and fine quality bras for her as she requested but all I can find is the regular brand selling in every department store.We even go to Tanger's factory outlet to look for her fine lingerie.She have a hard time getting the pattern and design she want for her fine lingerie .
It's really important to get fitted for a bra to make sure we are wearing the right size. Different companies may fit differently than others. I watched Oprah show about bra size and I was shocked as to how many people wear the wrong size bra.I wonder ,do I wear the wrong size bra as well?.After I gave birth to my daughter,I still gained 30 pound.I'm looking for fine lingerie that would fit me comfortably.

Millionaire East Coaster

A Malaysian friend email me this funny joke.I would love to share this joke with all my blogger and friends.I really enjoy it and hope you guys enjoy it too.
******************************************************************************
Mick appeared on the Newfoundland version of 'Who wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won $500,000.
You've done very well so far,' said the show's presenter, but for $1million dollars, you've only got one lifeline left, phone-a-friend.

Everything is riding on this question. Will you go for it?''Sure,' said Mick. 'I'll have a go!''
OK. The question is: which of the following birds does NOT build it's own nest?
(a)Robin (b)Sparrow (c)Cuckoo (d)Thrush.

''I hasn't got a clue,' said Mick, 'So I'll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Come-Bye-Chance.
'Mick called up his mate, told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.'Fookin Ell, Mick!', cried Paddy. 'Dat's just simple logic....it's Cuckoo.''Are you sure, Paddy?' asked Mick. 'I'm fookin sure' replied Paddy. Mick hung up the phone and told the TV presenter, 'I'll go with cuckoo as my answer.''Is that your final answer?' asked the host.'Dat it is Sir.
'There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won $1,000,000!.
'The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink. 'Tell me, Paddy? How in God's name did you know it was the cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest? I mean you know fook-all about birds.''Fer fooks sake!' laughed Paddy. 'Lord tunderin Jaezuz everybody knows a fooking cuckoo lives in a clock! Continue to Read More..

Shopping at Trader Joe's

I am so busy now,shopping ,cooking for storage hubby foods,packaging our luggage,cleaning the house,draft note"things to do for hubby" to do while I'm away,arrange and instruct bills for hubby to pay online and offline , doing my homework for my " DIY" Hong Kong trip and still writing my post!!.I shopped at Trader Joe's last week after visit Marshall and Linen & Things.This trader Joe's is just 3 miles from my home. I like Trader Joe's unique foods
Look what I found there!! Matcha Green Tea Mix!!.
Ready cooked dinner meal,just microwave and there you go...
Prepacked sushi
Trader Joe's own brand juice
Frozen food section
The sale person gave me tarte sample to try,it's not bad...
I also try some vegetarian chips
This is how the tarte look like in whole.
Frozen food section...Vegetable Burger
Dessert section
More desert
Frozen Asian food section,just microwave and you have your dinner ready to serve!!
Ready to eat Asian rice..The price is not bad at all.
All vacuum pack tuna,swordfish,cod fish,catfish and etc...I like to get my tuna here to make sushi
Cookies on the top shelf ,Asian sauces and paste at the bottom shelf
Trader Joe's carried alot of ready cooked Asian food that no other store sell
Love this String beans or french beans.Depend where you live and how you want to call it ,it's still the same beans.Actually Trader Joe's frozen Green beans is better in price and quality than fresh green beans we found in our local market.It's come from French!!.
I bought this artichoke once and it's really good.Usually what we bought at green market it's a whole artichoke and we can't eat the outside layer leaves.I still prefer to get the heart artichoke.
Look at this Thai's product price!!..What a great buy!.
This is my latest purchase...not much since I'm going away..My kitchen is going to close soon.Let me tell you what happen to me when I was in Trader Joe's taking all these photos.A guy approached me and introduce himself."Hi,I'm ABC working here as manager".He keep looking at my camera.I quickly sound apologetic.."eerrhh,sorry sir,I should ask your permission to take the photos here but don't worried I'm just posting the photo in my blog not for sale".Then the manager feel bad and blushing,he said "oh!!.it's OK." he said and quickly walk away..I quickly put my camera inside my bag..I don't feel comfortable after been question..On my way to the cashier,a overhear 2 woman talking,one of the woman said she want to take some photo for her work.I quickly warn her that she should ask permission because I was been question by the manager.But she ask her friend to pretend as a model,I guess she refused to ask for permission.Well,that is not my problem.I thought it's nice of me to warn her.I guess not!!..
I didn't take some products like cereal,nuts and beans.It's my fault,I should know better not asking permission in the first place.I know some big supermarket doesn't mind,but who know Trader Joe's have different policy!!

Mishu's Birthday Party

I celebrate Mishu 3rd Birthday on MLK Day instead of her actual Birthday,which is on 25th.No school on MLK,so the girls next door can come in early and stay late.Her actual Birthday date is too close to the date we are going to depart for our vacation.That one of the reason I didn't choose hubby day off. oh boy!!.To organise a party at home all by myself is really tiring and tough!!.I prepared and cooked all the food from scratch for 2 days.Beside that I have to entertain all the guests by myself...Hubby just come back from work and he is really tired.At least he help me to pump up all the balloons.
Mishu is really frightened of all this balloons.It's burst off to her face yesterday when I pump it.She keep hiding in room,SO we have to put away all the balloons in a guest room.
Mishu ready and want to be Cinderella with glass slipper and new dress.
My buffet table...Tortellini with meat sauce,homemade cheese nugget,egg potato salad,tuna casserole.Both cheesy nugget and tortellini pasta fall of the chafing dish stand,later I just removed the stand and let it sit on the table with out warmer.
Bacon and cheese tart, Fresh green salad and chicken spring roll.Everybody love spring roll,I guess it's have dry shrimp flavor to make them coming for more serving!!
Tortellini cheese with meat pasta.
Homemade Cheesy chicken nugget..I used some deli cheese and some cheddar cheese in block,that why both the color look different...
oh!! I took too much time to make the crusty tart pie...You can see all the tart or pie shape differently..but I love the crispy layers.I have no idea I can make layer puff tart!! Amazing...right?.I also make Chicken corn soup ,hubby and "L" our neighbour said it's good!! But I didn't take photo...too tired,out of power!!
"C" our wonderful neighbour help me to lid the candle and arrange the game"PIN THE TAIL DONKEY"..It's really fun,who can pin the tail on the spot or nearest to the spot win the prize!! Anyway, I give everyone the prize.Everybody is singing "Happy Birthday to Mishu"..Mishu keep want to blow the candle!!

Mishu wallop her ice cream so fast,waiting for second serving.
After dessert,watching TV time and play with her gift....Guess who is in her hand now??
Yes,Sleeping Beauty!!
Another gift from our wonderful neighbour "L"..She afraid both Pj's are too big for her,so she insert gift receipt for her. Mishu not interested in Prince Philip..too bad..
Mishu still didn't know who is BRATZ yet!!.....Well,I should keep it for a while until she really know them before open for her if not she just think it's another of her toys! It call "Whatever toy"!.We change our mind to give Mishu Cinderella toy today.We are going to give her Cinderella at the airport,so she can bring to vacation with her.When she getting bored in the long flight ,at least Cinderella will entertain her.
