Nothing exciting happened these few days.

As usual, Zack got either me or Phil to "lar" = car, means play cars with him. Hahaha... Only those who had played with him understand his words.
When someone started a motorbike or a motorbike passed by, it kind of frightened him, so he will go "pa pa".
Occasionally, when he think of someone, he will call some one's name, like "por por" means grandma, "gong gong" means grandad, "fong" which is my youngest sister, "zzaacck" in a rhythm means calling for "juan" which is my 1st sister. Sorry fen, he didn't say your name...
And occasionally, I will show Zack photos of us in Singapore and Vietnam, he will point to the person and call that person, eg. he will point to my mum and called "por por". Good memory huh?


This morning, I took the courage or risk of cooking curry. Went supermarket yesterday, bought some chicken wings, coconut milk and curry paste (Indian curry - Tikka Masala, the only curry paste I found). Sms-ed my mum how to cook, she replied asked, how many ml coconut milk, dry or wet curry paste, after that, no sms from her. Well, I will have to learn my mistake isn't it. So I took the courage or risk to cook it, fortunately there is an instruction of how to cook Thai Chicken curry on the Amoy coconut milk can, so I followed it. 1st, I put 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in the wok, put the chicken wings, stir fried for about 6 minutes or lightly brown, stirred in the curry paste for about a minute, and lastly, poured in the whole can of coconut milk. I wasn't confidence with the coconut, I thought it either taste weird or awful, don't think it is a success. Anyway, I transferred it to a big saucepan, boiled it for awhile then turned the fire off. Left it aside for my lunch to try it before serving it for dinner. Lunch time came, I warm up the curry, scooped 2 scoops of curry in a bowl and a chicken wing, know what???? It was not bad at all. I was very impressed. And it wasn't difficult at all. WELL DONE, Ping... hahaha...Phil called from work, told him I cooked curry. He said he is looking forward to his curry...hahaha....
