Tis the season to be jolly

Indeed the reason to be jolly is about the birth of Jesus. The is what Christmas is all about.

In the morning, my family attended the Christmas service at Trinity Christian Centre near to our home. When I walked into the building, I was impressed with how big the premise is. And when I walked into the santuary, I even more impressed with the Nativity-theme decoration. As we begin to worship in carols, I felt at home in this church as it reminded me of FCBC (the pre-Magic of Love day) which I grew up in. The worship was clearly filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit and I walked out of the service with the experience of receiving God's Love, Joy and Peace.

We adjourn to our next celebration - The annual Xmas gathering at my PIL's with the extended family.

We had Curry Fishhead with Nasi Brani, Cze Char, finger food consisting of sotong balls and sausages and my MIL's famous Fried Chicken Wings. What a feast we had!

No celebration is complete without the joys of exchanging presents. This is a pix I took earlier of the boys posing with their gifts from Mummy and Daddy.

Bye bye, Pizza Hut

This is my 2nd attempt at making a pizza. I had better result this time round as I added yeast to the thin-crust and thus it is not soggy as compared to my 1st attempt which I made without adding yeast.

With just 300grams of flour, I am able to churn out 3 regular pizza filled with ham, pineapple, mushroom and cheese toppings which the boys love. J could finish 1/2 of a regular pizza all by himself. I have also learnt to make baked rice and pasta from K's nephew, D.

All we have to do is to add soup and we have a complete pizza hut menu. I have also saved at least $30 as a meal at Pizza Hut would cost us at least $50.

Japanese Nite

I put together a simple meal of fish tempura, japanese curry, miso soup and rice for the family.

It is very rewarding to see the 2 boys finish their dinner without any coaxing or having to feed them.

After dinner, J said "Mum, you sure can cook well.".....awwww.
