Pickled traditions anyone ?

Today , due to excessive boredom of 3 generations of ladies (one of them moi who telah pun disuka-paksa-rela ) decided to make our annual dessert ONLY made once a year .Usually made on the 22nd of December which is the winter solstice or something like that la . (According to my mom ofcourse ) This dessert is called "yi" .Translated it means spheres and that is exactly what it is ,little round spheres made with tapioca flour ,water and colouring .Simple yet so absolutely delicious once added with a lil lurveeee ....Namely , SUGAR ,dirt from our grubby hands as we roll the flour into tiny balls ,spice and everything nice ! Traditionally ,all the ingredients will be mixed together and kneaded until a dough is formed .Then ,it is rolled into a sausage like thingy and cut into averagely same sizes and then rolled into lil spheres and finally boiled and dropped into sugar water .THIS is the traditional way .

This time , the renown commander in chief/head chef of all things dessert and food in the Lee residence took a back seat and more supervised the younger generation ladies as they attempted to take this dessert thing in to their own hands .One must admit that we are guilty of tweeking the tradition by skipping the rolling-out-into-sausage-and-cutting-it-into-the-same-sizes technic and evolving it into the cubit-and-agak technic .I think it worked out fine ,not exactly uniform in size but just...... fine .

Next was tackling the legendary onde-onde .It was a funny scene as all the final products seem to have taken a shape and size of their own .From an "S" to an "M" to an"XL" and even shifting colours from a green to a green dotted with brown melaka splotches to white .Well ,atleast only a handful did not pass the quality check of the almighty "mama" !

It was a good day and I think its safe to say that all 3 ladies were pleased with their work and mentally patted their selves on the back at the end of the day .Tis' the season to preserve traditions !!! (anyone get the joke ?hehehe...)

FELIZ NAVIDAD everyone !!!

(christmas does last for 12 days! )

Thirty four .....

As the smell of cardboard overwhelm the house...and the collected memories remain compressed in boxes....

I'd be lying if I told you I don't feel a thing ,I'd be lying if I told you I was ok with leaving .To be honest , my eyes well up with tears everytime I think of the amazing friends I have to leave .My mind make somersaults when I think of starting a fresh without the support of my fellow confidants .My heart aches for those who will miss me but do not know how much more I have already missed them .But all that is nothing compared to the yearning of my heart to come back to this family in Subang that I've shared so much with even before I leave .

But I'd also be lying if I told you I wasn't excited about going down under and starting a new life ,discovering the real world and stepping out of my comfort zone into the chilly waters of reality .I may fall ,but pain only reminds us were hurt and that we need to be cured .Such times is when I will deeply cherish God and my loved ones .For His strength is made PERFECT through weakness .Amen ?! I shall boast in my weakness for that is when I am strong in His power .

34 days and not counting .My legs tremble at the thought .

13 months in the making ....

Its a story of a playground .

and a seesaw
There was a girl
She was thinkin
Bout this thing .... This thing , the seesaw.
So , a boy came over and decided to play with her .Chemistry was brewing .

Up .... down .....up .....down .......
and then ,POOF !!! intruder alert ....
The boy became uncomfortable .Frustrated bout the presence of this intruder that was earning most of the girl's attention and coming in the way of both of them ......AND THEN something so unsuspected happened ... SOMETHING that would change these innocent people forever ....
A swift gush of air passed through the rear end of the boy .........it was foul and so uncalled for .It was clear ,the boy wasnt uncomfortable over the presence of this stranger but a certain urge to FART.

They left .Leaving this poor boy all alone ,trying to figure out what just happened ,stonified and everything . Poor boy ......
THE END

This is a tribute to these people who are away and cannot be here to enjoy this park for now :)

Special thanks and love from back home to these people who also don't know bout this XD (you know who u are ! )

THIS STORY IS ABSOLUTELY FICTIONAL AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE PEOPLE .(expecially the swift gush of air part ... XD )
