潮州家族 - 好戏！
这部连续剧讲述的故事从40年代跨越到90年代，在大时空下以一个 极其大家长似的潮州男子蔡庆阳（曾江饰演）的打拼史为主线，多个悲伤爱情故事为副线，展现一个大家族的兴衰起伏爱恨情伤。
这是一部新加坡经典老片。在1995年播的。近年来，都没有好戏看，在网里找到了这部戏。开始看了就不能停下来。戏里的演员都是势力派的。演技高级。郑惠玉、周初明、洪慧芳、陈澍承、曾慧芬 、朱厚任。。。等。全班人都把角色给演活了！
有水，有田，才有米。有人，有爱，才有家。好一句话。
李维松作曲，歌神，张学友唱的主题曲， 把这部戏弄得非常好！一个字 ：赞!!!!
现在要看这样好看的戏，难了。悲呀！
跟你们分享吧！潮州家族
Her first published work
Kai came home with a Chinese book. A collection of Chinese essays done by students in school.
Love the title, love the cover
I was flipping through it and reading some of the essays and chanced upon a wonderful piece…
On closer look, it was written by none other than my…
…little princess. You should have seen the big sweet smile on her face when I read it out loud
That's why I love this school. They have very special ways of encouraging and motivating students. Why only the best of the best deserved to be published. Even simple writings deserved a space in a publication. So going to miss everything about this school.

Cold fermentation…bad choice
Read about using cold fermentation to raise a bread dough. Decided to try it out…bad idea. But then, never try, never know. Never fail, never succeed. *Wink*
Cranberry cinnamon roll and a braided loaf. Looked good on the outside but the inside…
Too dense, not at all a bread. Reason…suspect the temperature in the fridge was way too cold, it killed the yeast.
I shall stick to warm fermentation. However, the spouse loved the cranberry cinnamon roll.

Today, I have a sad boy
Kai came out from school, looking rather sad. He said he may have failed his Chinese test.
I could understand his feeling. I know he has been trying very hard, studying very hard. Chinese, being a language paper, studying hard is just not enough. You need to have a wide vocabulary to do well. Take the comprehension paper for example. Knowing the textbook in and out will not help you do well in comprehension. This is Higher Chinese paper. It is tough. Sometimes, I can't even read some words.
"It is ok, my son. You have done your best!"

Near accident
Today the car almost knocked down a biker. It wasn't the driver's fault. In Shanghai, apart from dare-devil drivers, they also have hell-riders. They just simply don't care. Yes, I repeat…"DON'T CARE". This biker just came out from behind a bus and ride straight onto our path. The driver jammed brake and thank God for safety belts. Always, always belt up, even seated behind.

A very short trip
So, it was the Golden Week in China, we decided to have a short holiday in Hong Kong (HK). In all our past holidays in HK, we have always avoided staying in the city as we very much preferred the outskirts lifestyle. This time round, we decided to go for a change. We chose to stay in the hearts of the city. One other reason was because we needed to replenish the cod liver oil for the children.
I have always booked our accommodation through reading reviews from the Tripadvisor. It has never failed me. The comments were real, honest and not sugar-coated. This time round, I booked the CHI Residence at Shanghai Street, HK. It was really a great location. Within walking distance to the Temple Street night market, the Ladies' Street night market, Fa Yuen Kai, food streets and all the shopping malls. Do I need anything else? From the airport to CHI, it just took us 20mins to get there. Cab fare HK280. The Airport Express train would cost more and it wouldn't bring us to the hotel. All in all it would cost us about HK450. Sometimes, it is always good to check. The train may not always be cheaper than the cab.
The entrance of the hotel. Actually it is more of a mini service apartment. What is this? The lift shalf. So cool, isn't it?
Once you enter, was the mini kitchen. Fully equipped. On the right was the bathroom
Bedroom and a living room. Very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids
Outside the apartment, the hustle and bustle of a Hong Kong street. The surprise….
The street was lined with lots of shops selling baking/cooking wares. I was the happiest of all and guess what I bought…
An old weighing scales…something fun for the kids
Just five minutes walk, the food street
The colourful streets of Hong Kong
Ondeh-ondeh? No, not the norm…it was filled with durian! Never miss the food of Hong Kong!!!
When you have kids going to Hong Kong with you, it cannot be just food and shopping. You must always include some other activities. The Hong Kong Museum of History is an interesting place both for the adults and children.
Descending into His –Story
The early Hong Kongers, the boat people. Peng-Cai was already existing in the past. It was a big dish shared among many people. Now, this poor man dish has become an expensive dish for the Chinese New Year. How ironical!
Do you know what this is? This is a mountain of paos (buns).
This is how they look like. It is a kind of festival called the Cheung Chau Bun Festival
Outside an old house. Inside an old bus. Driving the old bus
The spouse is very interested in anything historical. This is an old pawnshop
The old postal office and all the PO boxes. I think red is nicer than silver, agree?
Old provision shop and tea shop
A tailor shop….a Woon tailor shop? That's my surname up there.
Typewriter and that must be a quarter for workers.
Look at how they store their utensils and that was how the kitchen looked like in the past
Outside a cinema, "buying tickets for a movie". Do you remember that clock. Looked like the one hanging at the Golden City cinema in Queenstown
Before the movie, must buy titbits. Oh, I so love that old fridge
After movie, supper time of course! I still see some of the tea houses in HK using these seats
So nostalgic. That was an old calendar. The date was 23 April 1966. I was still in my mum's tummy!
From the past, we went to the present. The Hong Kong Science Museum. This was very exciting for the kids as there were lots of hands-on activities.
Now who's on TV?
These are my favourites
