My Companion

 

Dora my companion, photo taken during dinner time

Dora is my companion during mealtime.  She would come to me when I eat.  She would also come to the kitchen when I was preparing food.  She is just so curious about everything.  When I open parcel, she would come and explore also.  She is just so cute.  

In the beginning, it was Isaac who wanted to keep her.  They seek my permission and I was okay with it.  As the days past, my affection for her grows.  Now I like her so much.  

Whenever I have fish, I would give her some of it.  She loves to eat prawns also.  She also eat chicken and crab.  But her favourite is seabass and golden pomfret.

Goodbye Animals

 

Plastic animals toy in the toy box

Clearing some of the things in the house.  This box of animals toys are in very good condition, as good as new.  So we clear this first.  I took a picture and put it up for sale in Facebook.  I put a price of only $5 and the next day, I got endless queries coming in.  

I was working and have no time to respond to the incoming message.  As I was cycling, I could hear all the message coming in.  It was an overwhelming good response for such a cheap price.  When I finished my work, I respond to the questions.  I did not manage to go through all the list of people.  As I was responding to just a few, in the end I managed to sell to a Facebook user already.  

The animals definitely cost more than $5 but I just randomly quote a price.  The animals were very useful.  Can be used as educational toys for children.

Nghee Zhang

 

Nghee Zhang purchased from the market

Last week, 14 June 2021 was dumpling festival.  I managed to purchase a bunch of Nghee Zhang from the market at $5 as shown in the picture above.  Nghee Zhang is tasteless and it is nice to eat with sugar.  It is yellowish on the inside as shown in the picture below.  It just glutinous rice dipped with sugar.  It is nice.  

Nghee Zhang to be eaten with sugar

This year I had never eaten Bak Zhang.  Bak Zhang is so expensive now.  Each cost like averagely at least $6.  Then there is no guarantee that it is nice.  As I don't really like eating meat, I decided not to buy any Bak Zhang.  The children don't really like it either.  Then my mother never make any because father just died.  According to her, a few years cannot wrap dumpling.

Longevity noodle

 

Noodles from Crystal Jade

Yesterday was mum's birthday.  She had been sick for almost four days.  Her blood pressure was high.  But after drinking Methi seeds drink, she was better.  I planned to buy durian cake for her but on Thursday night, my brother wanted me to buy longevity noodle for mum.  He said durian cake is too heaty.  

So I went Causeway Point at 11am.  When I reached 5th floor, the shop was all dark and no one was around.  The sign was shown: Closed.  They will only open at 1130am.  So I went to walk around first.  At 1130am, I looked at the menu and I asked the staff, "Do you sell longevity noodle?"  They showed me the noodle page.  They don't sell noodles that are cooked for like 3-4 people.  They only sell noodles that are consumed by 1 person.  So in the end, I bought 2 packet of different noodle.  

In the photograph above, on the left is Ee Fu Mushroom Noodle and on the right is Fried Mee Sua with XO sauce.  The Ee Fu Noodle cost $16.80 and the Fried Mee Sua cost $20.80.  Mum thought one packet of noodle cost around $8.  The portion was very little, but mum ate little only, and 2 packet of noodle was enough for the 3 of us.  

I wanted to have 2 red eggs for mum.  I asked the Crystal Jade staff if they can sell me 2 red eggs.  They said red eggs are only available for dine in.  They don't have red eggs for take away.  So in the end, no red eggs for mum.  

My sister and I did not sing Happy Birthday song for mum, but we wished her Happy Birthday, and said good and auspicious words to her.  After eating the food, we spent some time together.  I taught her how to play Candy Crush.  She likes the game very much.
