摰友的生日 Happy Birthday to Nancy

神的恩典真的是奇妙豐盛，當初我來到星加坡，差不多一個朋友都沒有，在我工作的公司更像一個鱷魚潭，但主已準備了愛主的姐妹在當中，讓我們互相扶持，互相幫助，互相鼓勵。記得我當初坐的桌子還是她早已定了，但還未來上班，給我先坐的哪！

Nancy 就是我在這十六年工作旅程的良伴，經過三間公司，無數的起與落，神就是值著Nancy教導我，她愛主的心，她對神的信賴事奉都是我的好榜樣，我真心的感謝主！今天是她的生日 （與我同年），祝她

主恩滿溢

主的愛永遠環繞她

Nancy is my colleague，spiritual teacher，prayer support，good friend all rolled in one。 God knew that I needed someone to help me， guide me， teach me， and pray for me; so He put Nancy there in our first company 16 years ago。 Amazing，we are the same age n ve quite a bit in common. I even sat at her work station when I first joined the company because she was to start work only 2 weeks later. Not only that, we saw through the birth of her two younger kids, went through three different companies together, and wallowed through my spiritual ups and downs.

I think it will not be too much to call her my guardian angel ... yes... her faith in God, her service in church and her Christian testimony is just so EVIDENT in our work place too .... thank you God for Your Providence for ME, putting Nancy in my path...

Today is Nancy's birthday, wish her

God's abundant blessings, peace and joy throughout her years!

LOVE YOU NAN, really appreciate you!

人人的生日派對 Lunar 7th day birthday dinner

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to all my dear friends, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU and many more!

Tortilla soup, very thick and yummy!

Babe Dearest's request of cheesy grilled fish, served with mashed potatoes

Burrito before

Burrito by the foot, tata!

Authentic salsa airflown from Mexico, served with nachos

Fideo, Babe Dearest and Bryan's favorite, really yummy and I added some cheese inside too, nice touch

must follow some Chinese tradition for CNY, and the must have is "tong yuen"...black sesame seed paste flavor, my favorite

星期六是人日，同各位說聲生日快樂！生日最開心是有得慶祝，食食食啊！

新年日日食中餐，我的生日當然任我搞，咁我就煮我的至愛—墨西哥餐吧！ 太好了，簡直不要臉的自己讚自己，不要誤會，我真的很少這樣的自誇，可能老了一年變成這樣，哈哈哈哈。。。你們自己來評評吧！

Saturday was Lunar 7th day, which is everybody's birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE!

Of course the highlight of any birthday is the BIRTHDAY PARTY...yeah... Since it was MY birthday, I got to choose which type of food I served at the party...heee...not forgetting I WAS the one who was going to cook it, hoot hoot. So, after all the CNY Chinese food that I had to eat all these days, I decided on having one of my favorites - MEXICAN FOOD... yeah...

It was JUST fantastically great, yummiliciously yummy.... Mrs Leung of Trial & Error introduced the Tortilla soup to me, and it was just superb. I bought some from LA on my last trip and it was easy and nice. I also tried out one fish dish that my princess saw on the newspaper, basically it was grilled fish fillet topped with tons of cheese, she loved it and so did everyone else. Burritos by the foot was a copycat version from a Mexican restaurant in LA; served with my own homemade salsa & nachos too. I actually have 3 bottles of REAL salsa from Mexican, brought back by my girlfriend who went there for a vacation and of course KNEW I LUV salsa... it was very salty and a bit of disappointment; nevertheless, first time I get authentic salsa hailed from Mexico..heee... thanks Oabre for your thoughtfulness!

Bon Appetit, everyone and once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU YOU YOU!

答應angfoo給她看我家的花草，其實也不是什麼樣的好看，想想不如食言，但又唔好意思，算了，不要見笑啊。。。

Angfoo has asked me to show her my flowers and plants for awhile， but somehow after seeing all her photos， really felt inadequate。 Short of breaking my promise, it took me lots of courage to post all these pictures to see my humble garden...hmmm....

好兆頭：福到 Great blessings

尋日沒去拜年，爸爸我愛你去后園忽然看見一隻蝙蝠在果樹上，太好了，快叫全家去欣賞主的創造，順便沾沾自喜它的好意頭。。。哈哈啊！

For Chinese，bat in Chinese character signifies Blessed。。and LOOK what Daddy dearest found on our jambu tree in the backyard this morning - a baby bat hanging there。 Hubby was so excited that he asked us to see it and of course must take one for the album。。。Yeah!

Daddy Dearest's special request - Thai style fried chicken

泰式雞翼

年初二，請了二十多位好友午餐聚舊，一大清早起床準備。幸好佣人好幫手。。。

好久沒有請這麼多客人了，十道菜頗為吃力，好彩連老公都贊好，累也值得！

Today hosted a luncheon for about 30 of my close friends and it sure took a LONG time to get it all together。Woke up at 8 to do the last few dishes, as four of the braised dishes were done ahead for the flavors to soak in.

Though it was rather tiring, it sure was worth all the work as we had great time eating, chatting and just enjoy each other's company!

Have a great year ahead , everyone!
