Another year of success and happiness has passed. With every new year, comes greater challenges and obstacles in life. I wish all of you courage, hope and faith to overcome all the hurdles you face. May you have a great year and a wonderful time ahead. God bless you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends and family members. The glitter of bright decorations, the sound of joyous Christmas carols, the happy children and the cheerful "Merry Christmas" greetings. Do take this opportunity to tell your loves one how much they mean to you.
Forget the things that made us sad and remember those that made you glad.
Forget the troubles that passed your way and remember the blessing that come each day.
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings—*money cannot buy *wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
Greeting cards from Lovely friends Mai Soon, June & Sheoh.
Beside cooking and baking, let's me share with all of you my other past time wonderful hobbies.
DIY Stocking flowers, my new hobby.
Crochet handbag
This the nylon net I used, black netting is a bit on the stiff side.
Or you can use white netting which its softer.
The various designs of crochet bags and hats using cotton thread or Hamnaka Eco Andaria yarn. I already ordered my Hamnaka yarn but yet to arrive.
Cross stitches, my collection of DMC threads and cross stitch material.
My abandon project since....... don't know when!!! hahaha......
And cross stitch materials.....I brought all the leftover that's in the shop. Shop Uncle gave me 1 meter free.
To make cross stitch greetings card, fold the A4 colour paper into half.
Use a strong adhesive to glue the cross stitch design in the middle of the card.
You can make your own birthday card, Christmas card, wedding cards, etc....
Patchwork....., just starting to do another blanket.
This is my virgin patchwork, I hand stitch this queen size blanket 25 years ago.
Still using my faithful blanket. hahaha.....
And nothing better to do, I love to sew my own curtains. These hooks and heading tape, I brought at rock bottom price too.
Another nothing better to do hobby, cutting beautiful liqueur and wine bottles pictures from magazine.
Let's go back to my kitchen......my all time favorite dessert. Recipe courtesy from my good friend.

1000 mls water
1 cup milk/ thick coconut milk
180gm sugar
80gm sago
1 egg white
3 pandan leaves ( optional )
1/ Wash the sago and soak in water for 30 mins. Then drain off the water.
2/ Mix the water with agar agar powder, sugar and mix well.
3/ Throw in the pandan leaves and put to boil until sugar melted.
4/ Scoop out half cup of the agar agar solution. Divide into 2 parts and add red coloring to one portion and another portion green.
5/ Add sago to the rest of the agar agar mixture. Boil until transparent, keep stirring to prevent burn.
6/ Add the coconut milk + pinch of salt or milk and mix well. Keep warm.

May the good times and treasure of the present become the golden memories of tomorrow.
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wander what you are,
Up above the world so high like a diamond in the sky,
Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight,
I wish I my, I wish I might have the wish tonight.
Have a wonderful holiday.
