a surprise from the mom

along the way, brad told me that he has another surprise for me but this time it's not from him... i was in awe, when he said his mom has something for me...

when he finally hand it to me i was out of words... it's a silver necklace with 14k palm tree pendant. i tried it on and it looks so nice ;) though i never really wear any jewelry... 

but she didn't know that the price tag was left inside the box hidden... another speechless moment for me when i saw how much it is...

i feel so happy and so special to experience such gesture from brad's mom...

gorgeous :))

happy(iest) days again

yey...! after months of waiting my baby is here again :))
it's his second visit after he's been here last christmas and new year's...

this will be a fun, fun, fun summer...

we were both paranoid few days before his departure from his place because of bad weather... there had been storm and flood in chicago. but we're glad that on the day of his flight the weather is just fine...

the next two weeks will be happy(iest) days again...

#bostonMarathon

the last thing we want to know early in the morning is sad news... we always wanted to start our day with something good and wonderful...

but this morning we read news about bomb explosions on boston marathon... it's so sad :( 

runners poured so much passion and dedication in their training prior to the said event. each respective supporter were their to cheer them up to finish line.

but only to be ruined by such incident, by heartless people... 

finish line is where fulfillment is achieved not grief... 

egg sarciado

i tried to cook an egg sarciado and it turned out nice... as always fritz and 'te azon liked it :))

i have to try cooking it before saturday. lerie, uncle boon cheow and me have to prepare for lunch after sabbath worship...

another easy recipe from del monte kitchenomics... click here, for the recipe...

i used 32 quail eggs instead of 18... also, i used italian style tomato sauce so i had to add 2 tsp of white sugar...
