From Birthday Cake to Mooncake

Friday, 05/09/08, was Nicole's birthday. We had a small celebration of Steamboat and BBQ at Auntie Irene's house. The attendance was very good. Despite having a mild food poisoning, Auntie Irene still prepared the food and the cake single handedly. THANK YOU AUNTIE IRENE. We had a great time, especially Nicole.

董莉's birthday also falls on the same day, so Auntie Irene invited her over to celebrate together. That was a last minute arrangement and nobody prepared any present for her. So, I went to buy a small gift on behalf of everyone for her.

Presentation of 董莉's birthday present

Saturday, 06/09/08, went to Downtown East to attend the Young NTUC Forum Series in the morning (8.30am to 4pm), but left after the morning session to attend meeting. At first, there was no intention to go to Auntie Irene's house, but since the meeting ended early, so I decided to go there. They were having another round of BBQ as there were leftover from Friday. When I reached there, they had finished eating. So, I ate alone. Actually, they were very thoughtful..... 2 of them (M & N) BBQ the food, 1 (X) heat up the soup...... I felt very 受宠若惊!!! :) Thank you everyone.

Yummy yummy

豆沙饼 made earlier

Sunday, 07/09/08, morning after tution, went to Auntie Irene's house. As need to get something for her at Bedok, I also did some shopping a well. When I reached there, they (Nicole, Auntie Irene) already finished preparing 茶叶蛋 which will be taught by Love 972 FM's 粉樱 over "厨房笔记" on Monday & Tuesday at 11.45am. Then we began to prepare the fillings for making the mooncakes. Later, Mabel and then Margaret joined in. Auntie Irene also taught me how to make Durian Paste from fresh durians. We made 冰皮月饼, 传统烘烤月饼 the whole evening. Auntie Irene also helped me make one box for my mum. Thank you Auntie Irene. :)
