LOL... she is just so cute. =) many of my frens commented that she looks like me.. well, i was flattered of cos! it's also johnson's bday, we had dinner at prinsep street, steamboat.. his favourite. i commented that veron looked so full tat she will give birth the next day. ha ha...

13th feb
eagerly awaited for ah mei's pics, which i posted for the 12th's entry... i had wanted to send her pics to rick who's also her godfather. strangely, can't find him on msn... must be veron go into labour liao! and how right we (serena n i)were... ard 9pm, we got a mass sms announcing the birth of andre chung. =)

since the last time i updated this rusty blog of mine. lavigne is now 8weeks old... i wanted to keep myself fit and at the same time slim down after the birth of lil lavigne girl. so i decided to go swimming after i send ashton to his nursery class. but... it was not meant to be. =/ on the very first day tat i went swimming, the sun was so blardy hot that i fell sick the following day. *faintz* down with sore throat and runny nose... till today i m still having flu. sianz... meanwhile, i decided to ask mark to attach the chariot to my bicycle so tat i can send ashton to his class and at the same time do some working out. =) wah.. the first day tat i tried to ride the bike, i almost died when i peddled a little up slope with ashton in his chariot! hahaha...
really no stamina lor... after 10 over mths of hiatus. i have been sending ashton to his classes daily with the bike and then picking him back home at 1pm. can feel the strain in my arms and legs man! the chariot attracted a no of onlookers who were wowed by the majestic feel of it. LOL... ya, it's my little majesty sitting in there ma... almost all did a second take when i go past them, even the maids!
mark's always saying tat i can't cook, tat i dun cook or bake for him...

today, i decided to bake pineapple tarts the tangerine style for him. was quite confident tat it would turn out well. woke up at the same time as usual, drop ashton to class on foot today. coz i dun wan my bike to get stolen lah. keke... bought my pineapples, flour, butter, baking powder and vanilla essence etc. went home straight to prepare my pineapple filling. i used a hand held blender to blend the pineapple and then stood there for almost 2hrs cooking the filling. =)

half time - i went to pick ashton up from his class... was a tad late though. he was already waiting for me outside the door.

reached home, took my pineapple fillings out and rolled them out in balls, i thought they were quite small liao. took a little rest then i continued to make my dough. took almost 2 hrs again to complete putting the pineapple filling into the dough!

wah lau... damn hard work lor. but it was fun lah. =) i thought they were small enuff liao, who knows after baking they turn out to look like tau sar pia!

*fainted* it tasted quite nice though... abit dry and pastry a little thick lah. the first batch look abit too brownish coz i forgot to lower the tray in the oven.. too hot liao! i want to try again tomorrow... hope to get good results. =) will reduce the flour this time round and add more butter.
