Easter break with #1

Spent two days at Bicester Village (outlet shopping) with #1 in England last week. They have all the major branded names like Ralph Lauren, Kipling, LOccitane, Accessorize, Timberland, Salvatore Ferragamo , Prada etc, etc. Look here.








Took a break and had some crepes. Ham and cheese and Sugar and lemon.



We were at Borough market. Lots of freebies for tasting. At the rate we were going round tasting, we were spoilt for choice!


Macchiato!!

Banoffee pie!


Cod fish burger!

Fried Risotto ball!

Chorizo, rocket and roasted pepper burger!

Raclette sandwiches made out of these!

Lots of fresh food stuff for sale!!

At Changi and trying to blog!

I'm now at Changi Airport waiting for my flight home. I tried to post some pictures via my Blackberry to no avail.

I took #2 for an early birthday treat for a short trip to Universal Studios and to watch Lion King at Marina Sands.

If you have a chance, Lion King shouldn't be missed!
Hopefully, I'll post some pictures when I get back!

Blogging via Blackberry

Test!

#2 downloaded an app for me to blog via Blackberry because I've been so busy lately.

I'm trying it out for the first time. Actually, I'm bored waiting in the car while my husband is sorting out some utilities matters. So here's me trying my hand at blogging via Blackberry!

Hopefully, my posts become more regular after this.

Last weekend at JLSM

This was my last class with JLSM which took place last weekend. I've got a hectic two months ahead and have requested for a break. Green Tea Tiramisu and Oden!

I might resume in May when my commitments ease a little. It's really an enjoyable teaching experience at JLSM. All the participants are adults who attend Japanese Language lessons there on a regular basis. The staff are very polite and helpful and allow me to do what I love best - cook! The best thing of all is, I don't have to wash! LOL!

Busy weekend with the kids

Saturday saw #3 and I at 19 Culinary Studio in Damansara Heights attending a bread "baking" session!

I read a short article in the newspaper on Friday about baking bread. I mentioned it to #3 and she got all excited and insisted that we should attend.

We did and we learnt to "bake" frozen breads. It was delicious and really crusty. I believe they take the frozen breads from Hiestand. They look exactly the same from the ones I order from a nearby bakery.

Delicious Croissont

Thawed pastries from the freezer

Baked and ready after 18 minutes

#3 and I enjoyed an array of freshly baked breads and pastries

On Sunday, #2 and #3 spent the morning with me at a fund raiser at Church. I sold American Breakfast again! Raised a tidy sum for the ministry!

#2 helped at the Smoothie store. One of her friends brought his mothers Vitamix. Worked like magic! #2 raved about it's "powerful motor" and amazing speed!

#3 was busy playing 'assistant' to a professional make up artist doing tattoos using an airbrush spray gun.

We all had lots of 'bonding time' and fun as we spent our money and time for a good cause!
