One Leceh Shopper

Below are the reasons why buying household stuff with me can get pretty irritating.

One, all I know is this one not nice, that one not nice. Seldom, or never, do I say THIS is nice and I want it.

Two, cos I can't make up my mind. See reason one. If it's something I'm not like, really attracted to, then the bo chap attitude kicks in.

Three, I don't know the market prices, hence I wouldn't know if it's the best deal or not. I've never taken an interest in the cost of things my parents bought for the house, hence the lack of general knowledge. Ask me the price of cars, I'd be better with that. So when I'm in my bo chap mode plus I am not sure if it's the best deal, I don't feel obliged to buy if the design doesn't attract me at all. If it's darn cheap and the design is so-so, I might not mind.

Four, all I have ever known is I want a chinese themed house. That has been my wish since years ago. Baba also can. Baba even better. Haha. Either that, or a retro house. Good ol' stuff! Hahahaha. Ask me about other designs? Err hmm I need to think about it. No no I will not ignore, but I will really have to think if I want it or not.

Five, I might have gotten too used to shopping alone that when someone is with me doing the surveying of possible shops, it seems like a waste of time for this other person. I always go in rounds. I can go to one shop, go to another, come back to the first one, even the second, can even come back AGAIN to the first shop and end up not buying from either one. This is, of course, based on the assumption of two shops. Imagine when five or more places offer similar items. HAHA. I'm okay when I do it alone, though. Cos I don't disturb anyone's schedule or time.

So if you need a shopping kaki for household items, bring me if you want opinions but not someone who pushes you to buy that particular item. Haha! To the person who will be stuck with me for the rest of his life with this fickle and undecided household shopper, I love you :) THANK YOU for putting up with my nonsense.

ZOO TOMORROW!!!

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
