Chinese Glutinous Rice Dumpling

Year 2012, my sister, my mom and I made these Chinese Glutinous Rice dumpling together.

Well, basically as usual my mom cooked all the ingredients, and I teach my sister how to wrap the dumpling.

Just a few attempts, she can manage to wrap the dumpling without making any single dumpling being "open" while cooking it in the pot.

Last few years, my mom;s neighbor is the one who helped her to wrap the dumpling, but she got to be away for this year. So my mom got no choice but pick me to wrap the dumpling for her. Yeah, she does not know how to wrap, surprisingly, haha!

But she accused me i used to wrap too loose and made some dumpling too loose and it opened when cooking in the pot. I kept denying, because I know I did wrap it tightly.

Finally, I got my name clean!

Not even single dumpling loose and open!!!! Yay!!! ...

My sister and I made 40 dumplings for the first day, and another 40 the next day as my mom got not enough cooked glutinous rice for the first day.

Sigh, tired ... but thank God we manage to finish it all ^^

Mom fried the glutinous rice with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, a little bit of salt, sugar & MSG

All ingredients were prepared:

1) Fried glutinous rice (as mentioned above)

2) Fried mushroom with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce & garlic

3) Braised pork with dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, garlic, spices

4) Fried chestnut

5) Fried green bean without shell

Here the dumpling we just finished wrapping, wait to be cooked in a big pot of boiling water!

Dumpling after cooked in the hot water

Look forward

Wow, the last post is about a year ago!

I am 4 more blogs to maintain, most of them are business online blogs,
hehe, well, not much profit though as I am just do it out of interest.

TRAVEL

* mom happily DIY her kimchi.

Traveled to Seoul & Jeju Island last July 2011 with mom. It's a raining season, so almost carrying umbrella for the whole long journey everywhere. But as long as my mom enjoyed the trip, it worth the money.

* Sis Mei-lin "borrowed" my mom to kiss, I should have charged her!

This August 2012, my mom and I traveled to England & Amsterdam.
My mom prefer to go Taiwan, but I love to go back Sheffield and visit friends there.
Not much things changed, but a lot of things not the same though.

Have not encounter the next trip with my mom, but I'm going to travel again end of the year to Japan & Taiwan with my hubby's family.
Sorry mom, please hang in there, will bring you again soon.
So, your leg gonna be strong ya.


WORK
Work wise, I am still working in the same company. It will be 2 years for next February...
Pray for the best to come!


MARRIAGE LIFE
One and a half year passed.

Yeah yeah yeah, baby baby baby... Many people keep asking, quite annoying.
But being polite I didn't shout out loud, "STOP asking!"
If one ask one of this question, when I meet 10 people, I have already got 10 same questions bugging me, so just imagine how annoying is this.
I just reply with a polite smile ~

Don't we have other topic to chat about?

But good thing is, after a few cooks, my hubby "pregnant" instead, hahahha!!! He got a big tummy oo.

一位垂死的祖母對她的孫子說：

“我可能幾分鐘後就會死去，所以希望你能繼承我的遺產， 包括別墅，拖拉機，農場和所有家禽及現金$22,389,630.00”。

孫子說：“哇！ 謝謝奶奶，我不知道你有一個農場，還有這麼多的財產？在哪裡？ ”

奶奶用最後一口氣說：

"在我的Facebook"

Fun work

I've made a call to a top brand mobile company situated in Singapore, to talk to the top management. But i was guarded down by the receptionist, I am not even reach the secretary office. She asked for my name and contact, and can't even give me the name of the top management PA, reason was "security reason". Wow ... ~ (it should sound like a wild cat)

Flashing Sky

I noticed a series of consistent lightning this morning. I woke up around 6.15am and found flashing on my window. At first I thought it's lightning, but after 5 minutes, I notice the flashing like a siren. So I thought it might not be lightning as it kept flashing. So I open the window and look to the sky, it is lightning in the cloud - unusual one. There were about 4 lightning in one minutes, one lightning has about 5 flashes. I did not see the lightning but flashing in the cloud. Yeah, you might seen it before in drama that a few bombs or fire shots in the haven and when people looking up, it's just flashing inside the cloud. It was 6.30am with grey cloud in the sky.



After my shower, I still can see the flashing behind my window curtain. I was thinking it might be a war having in the heaven. I kept praying that Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Lords, and He will win every war. No one can defeat Him because He is the most powerful.

A flash thought in my mind, if He is powerful yet how come He made so little thing in me? I did not blame Him but feeling guilty for trusting Him so little and I submit so little to Him. My small faith has stopped Jesus to do big thing in my life. I have fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23). I kept saying sorry in my heart, shouting guiltily. I kept thinking, if I see Jesus today, I will be empty handed to see him, ashamed. When I arrived at the car park in the office, it seems not much cars around. I doubted whether am I left behind? I read a fiction story before called "Left Behind", in fact I just read a few pages in front when I was 17? Well, it was hard to hang on the habit to read English story book by a Chinese educated young girl. I got to search for 10 words in the dictionary in a page before I can fully understand what is going on. But I managed to find out it was about a father and a daughter or son left behind, and the rest of the family members were "raptured", leaving the rest of the world in chaotic. I was asking myself, am I the left behind because I am not doing good :(

Wake up my soul!

问

曾经有朋友对我说,"你知道吗? 我有一天会信耶稣, 做基督徒的; 但不是现在..."

我感谢他/她的坦白, 也知道那一刻的他/她还没有做好准备接受耶稣基督为他/她的个人救主. 但是, 我鼓励他/她, 不要只停在那一刻, 继续前进吧朋友. 不怕你现在不信, 只怕你停留.

"耶稣说：凡寻找的就寻见，凡叩门的就给他开门..."(摘自圣经), 这句话对你来说, 可能半懂不懂的. 另一句话是说, 只要你愿意不断的寻求和不耻下问, 你不明白圣经的道理,一定要问到低; 也要去思考. 如果你不明白什么是圣经, 为什么要读圣经? 也要问. 耶稣是谁? 问! 为什么基督徒称他是神? 问! 因为只要你愿意求告耶稣基督, 他一定会回答你的问题. 怎么回答? ...

下一次告诉你... 只要你愿意知道.

人心

那天牧师讲道, 分享了一个很可怕的故事 ...

有一个林先生, 结婚多年却依然还没有孩子.
有一天, 有位天使出现并让他有三个愿望.
但是, 条件是- 他所求的, 他的邻居会得到他的双倍.
他想了想, 还是答应了.

第一个愿望是, 希望有个孩子.
没多久, 太太真的怀孕了!
不久, 还生下了一个白白胖胖的宝宝. 派送了红鸡蛋给邻居.
但是, 他自己也收到了邻居的红鸡蛋, 还是双倍的! 原来邻居家, 出生了双胞胎!
他心里有点不舒服, 因为天使本是冲着他来的.

天使又出现了, 问他的第二个愿望.

他想了想...
家庭有了, 孩子也有了, 就要了一箩黄金.
天使说, 那邻居会有两箩黄金哦.
他苦恼的再想了一回, 还是决定了.

他领了一箩黄金, 隔壁传来欢呼声! 领了两箩黄金...
他心里难受极了!!!

不久后,天使再次出现, 问他要了最后一个愿望.

这次, 他说"让我瞎了半支眼" ... ...

圣经说: 人心比万物都诡诈，坏到极处，谁能识透呢？"我耶和华是监察人心、试验人肺腑的，要照各人所行的和他作事的结果报应他。" — 耶利米书十七9，10

我听了故事, 我的口开得像苹果一样大. 第一时间完全没有回过神来他的意思... 大概3秒后, 我才发现林先生的第三个愿望是多么的难以想象的可怕! 他的愿望会让邻居瞎了两支眼睛, 因为他的愿望将会让邻居得到双倍的回酬.

我听了一阵寒...

当然, 天使不会象神灯一样出现在你眼前. 但是很多时候, 我们无形的得到了很多的祝福, 周围的朋友也因你得福, 而且有一天你会发现, 他们比你更好的时候, 你是否会开始嫉妒? 开始不再帮助他, 开始远离他, 开始比较, 开始说一些伤害他的话...? 慢慢, 你让这一些堆积起来, 恶念头一个一个的浮现在你脑海里. 你一不注意的时候, 你伤害了别人, 伤害了自己.
