Tonight's dinner and as well as tomorrow hubby's lunch will be
These are the ingredients:
Started preparing them at 2pm
Hope hubby will be back early today
Hubby got home at about 7pm, he changed into his exercise attire then head to the gym le
Then, I started cooking for dinner
The outcome looks good!
Hubby being a big eater, this amt of Hor Fun definitely not enough for him
so i cooked a cup of rice to share
Pour the gravy over steam rice then it becomes
"Mui Fan"
Hubby got the permission from his superior to report to work late today
Cos' he had to bring the car to the workshop for repair @7.30am
then the workshop will assign him with a rental car
we do not need to pay for the rental fee as it is included in the insurance policy
Our vehicle will be ready latest by Thursday


Woke up since 6:15am.. very sleepy but can't sleep.Very horrible feeling!
since the weather is so cooling (21 degrees), decided to go out for a walk..
Guess where i went?
I walked to Walgreen!
It took me 10mins to reach there.. considered very fast rite?
I went there for the deals again!
See wat i bought this time....


I will try to workout deals that only need to pay the minimal cost
I paid $3.90 and got $4 extra bucks.. so all these are free again!
I seldom buy stuff from Walgreen unless there are really good deals
not really sure about their extra bucks policy too

example: This item is priced @ $5.99; after deducting a $2/1 manufacturer's coupon, still need to pay $3.99, i gave the cashier a $4 extra bucks... by right it should be able to take off.. but the cashier was unable to process, in the end I have a buy a travel Colgate @$0.99 in order for me to use the $4 extra bucks!

Is it suppose to that way... I find it very ridiculous
This is the first time I experience this
anyway... will take note of this in future!

A day with Great Deals!

Its Sunday again!

A day with Great deals

Have to drag ourselves out of bed early in the morning

despite, only having a few hours of sleep

We'll have to scarify a little in order to get great deals @ CVS & walgreen de

These are what I have got for this week:

Only paid CVS: $4.76 & Walgreen: $1.13

In return, I got Extra bucks (CVS: $17.50 & Walgreen $6)

Which means... I got all these absolutely FREE!

We also make a trip to Tom Thumb

This week, they have a promtion for Kashi Cereals (Buy 5 and get $5 off)

Love Kashi Cereals...they are so healthy... whole grain and 0g of sugar

Got them @ $0.30 each after coupon

Oh my gosh.... really sound so aunty rite!

LOL! that's life in USA after all

No work = no income

so really have to save and get more great deals as possible!

Busy Saturday!

Attended a gathering organized by hubby's colleague at 6pm


Feeling pai sieh to go empty handed so prepared a thai dessert


~~~Mango Sticky Rice~~~


Got the recipe online... and it was easy to do!


We also have a list of dessert that we are craving for:


1.Red Bean Soup with Sago and Glutinous rice balls


2.Sweetened bean curb, barley and ginko nuts


3.Tau Suan (so sad can't find "you tiao" in Hmart)


4.Cantaloupe Sago Shake


5.Black Glutinous rice (aka Bubur Pulut Hitam - my fav)

So, we went marketing early in the morning...

1st stop Yue mei then followed by Hmart

to get all the ingredients for these desserts.


By the time we reached home... it was already late afternoon


Hubby went to gym and I started to prepare the dessert


It was kinda rush!!!


This was my first time making this dessert


super worry that it might not turn out well


But.... hmmmm.... the outcome looks great and taste great..


So proud of myself...LOL

Lunch & dinner for today

Today lunch and Hubby's dinner
2 dish and 1 soup
  • Diced chicken with shimeji mushroom
  • Broccoli with carrot and button mushroom
  • Watress soup with fish ball and wolfberries

Think I overcooked today

This is the remaining portion after packing for hubby's dinner

I managed to finish the soup

as for the rest, we will have it for tomorrow's lunch!

Absolutely NO Integrity

Received a call from the insurance company this morning

Informing me that they are NOT going to be responsible for the damages

I was so fuming and disappointed

I do not understand how on earth they justify my claim..

after clarifying with them, then I realised that the driver had changed her statement

Instead of admitted her fault, she had declined all her responsibilities

Absolutely NO Integrity

Guess wat!

she even told her insurance that the fault lies with me.. the accident occurred because I was driving in the centre of 2 lanes... Oh my gosh.... I really cannot believe it...

there are no witnesses, no police report & they do not any photos

but they just believe wat the driver have said...

fuming..... fuming.....fuming...Arrgh...

We immediately called our own insurance USAA and file a case against her

this time.. i attached all the relevant photos and sketches for them to fight the case for me

we are confident that this time we will win the case!

In the meantime, we had to fork out $500 for the deductible to get our car repaired.. once we won the case, we will be able to get a refund.

Hubby went back to work today
working night shift @ 7pm
We woke up early and prepared breakfast together
We had tuna sandwiches
Hubby loves it!


At 1pm, we brought our car to the assigned workshop along I35
to assess the damages
apparently, the insurance company have yet to assume their liability
their decision will only be out in 2 days time..
Hope that they will take full responsibilities


Reached home at abt 230pm, started to prepare for lunch plus hubby's dinner
Cooked chicken curry and plain prata
This is the first time we had prata since we left home!
Both of us miss prata so much!
Bought it from India Bazzar (5pcs for $0.69)
Cheap cheap!
It is really nice...
But we still prefer the egg prata so will try adding a egg between 2 plains prata
Hope it will work!

Lunch at Red Lobster

To celebrate hubby's return from detachment, hubby wanted to bring me out for a special lunch.So he decided to dine at Red Lobster. Hubby had 1 1/4 steam maine lobster and I had shrimp lobster tail pasta. We even had a chocolate cookie desert.Initially we have no idea how big is the lobster untill when it was served to us, we thought that it was quite worth the price, hubby really enjoyed it and had a great time extracting the meat out of the lobster's shell. Yummy!!!



Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Hubby was so surprised for the things that I had prepared for him...He loves it!
Can't wait to open his present LOL!


He loves all the graphic tees and started trying all of them... All fits him well except the Polo Ralph surfer short... the size is too small le... got to return le!



After that, we went for our dinner at Pan Asian... hubby had Omelette fried rice and I had scallop curry noodle... Nice!

Earlier today, I ordered 2 free 8*10 collage at walgreen. They are ready for collection le...so ask hubby to send me there for collection. They are so nice..... very worth it!

Yesterday, went marketing with Liyi and Angel. We went to Yue Mei, Hmart, Oriental food market and lastly India Bazzar. I spent a total of $38 bucks for 2 weeks of groceries. Considered very cheap le.

Menu in mind what to cook for hubby: -
  • Vegetable with TaoFu and carrot
  • Prawns with Golden Garlic
  • Japanese curry rice
  • Laska
  • Curry Chicken and prata
  • Seafood with Vermicelli
  • Diced Chicken with Shimeji mushroom
  • Steam egg with Tao Fu
  • Bean sprouts with mushroom
  • Watercress soup
  • Corn, tomatoes and potatoes soup
  • Cabbage and fish ball soup

After marketing, we went to yogurtland to have ice yogurt located next to Hmart. The pricing is very reasonable and is calculated based on oz... so the more u get the more u have to pay! I paid $3.50 for 4 flavours and 3 toppings... so happy.. will definitely go back home for more!!!!!

Surprise for Hubby

Did a little surprise for hubby

Updates on car accidental

yesterday hubby got advised from his colleagues

to file a case directly on the other party's insurance company

when he/she had already admitted the fault

Therefore, it is not necessary to notify our own insurance co.

Unless there is a dispute in the accidental

In this way, it will not affect our next year insurance premium


After knowing that, I called the 24hours auto claims to file a case

apparently, the driver had already notified her own insurance Co.

they had given me the contact for the officer in-charge of this claim

I called several times and left numerous phone messages

but did not receive any reply so far....

Was kinda angry de Argh...

They are always so slow in their response!


No choice ... have to wait patiently... Hope will call me tmr!

No Car = No life

Haiz.. today is the first day of hubby's detachment

and such things happen on me...

Just emailed hubby on the driver's insurance details
