草草了事
草菅人命
拈花惹草

284 of Project 365: 嬉戏

This is the main draw at My Waterway @ Punggol.
We can hear the shrieks of laughter & screaming even from afar.
During my visit to the park, I counted only 2 kites (one belonged to my sis), a few joggers, a roller bladder, quite a handful of cyclists but add them together, can't beat the crowd at the water feature to chase away the heat.

Malaysian Food Street @ RWS

My family & I finally found the opportunity to visit the Malysian Food Street (MFS) @ RWS on 14 April 2012, Saturday. 2 points to park at RWS if you are member. Other options to go to MFS include the monorail (S$3) from Vivo City or take a short walk along the Sentosa Boardwalk (S$1 entry fee).

We reached the place around noon & they were still plenty of seats available and the queue to buy our food was pretty short, except for the char koay teow which I have to wait for almost 10 mins.

Selamat Datang ke Malaysian Food Street

Berlayer Creek & Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk

I was looking forward to a day of fun sighting exotic fauna & flora but was disappointed because after walking for less than 15 mins, my mom & I realised that the variety of plants are the same few along the boarded walk. 

I was half expecting that we would be the lone visitors but was pleasantly surprised by the number of people along the way especially as we get closer to Reflections @ Keppel Bay.

282 of Project 365: The Trombone Player

Instruments I've learnt to play:

1. Recorder

2. Pianica

3. Trumpet

4. Guitar

5. Piano

Among all these instruments, I played the first 3 the best because I learnt these during my Primary School days & had participated in performances and competitions. It also goes to show that I have better lung prowess than fingers deftness. To be fair to myself, I only started learning the last 2 when I'm pretty advance in age, so that might explain the lack of agility in certain motor skills.

I always envy and admire those who can play any types of musical instruments, I think besides hard work and interest, talent is also important.

281 of Project 365: Modified Ondeh Ondeh

It seems like this is fast becoming a food blog soon.

Today, I tried making ondeh ondeh with greater success compared to my first try last week.

I leave the ondeh ondeh to cook longer so that the palm sugar wrapped within can melt fully. I used crushed almond flakes with sugar instead of grated coconut to coat the ondeh ondeh. 

Huh, isn't this mochi? Haha, yes, a hybrid of ondeh ondeh & mochi. 

Well, cooking is about creativity & personal preference, and it's so much fun. 

Remember to clean up the mess in the kitchen when you are done : )
