My birthday celebration

I had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant called Il forno. I like their pasta. I had pasta with clams while DH had it with lobster. They are famous for their pizza but we didn't get to try it out that day. The starters were as good. We had scallops and squids. Come to the desserts, we were very full already but we managed to finish all. We will definitely come back to this restaurant to try out their pizza and other dishes too.

New clothes for my teddy bear

I made these two outfits for my 30cm teddy bear. It is tired to knit but once you see the outcome then you will feel worth it altho it may not be perfect :) Here, I would like to introduce my new teddy bear, which added to my knitted toy collection. My toys are yet to be named. I have a request to make a graduation bear. I'm still figuring out how to knit the graduation gown. Hopefully I can get it done.

Serimuka/ Steamed egg custard with glutinous rice

I made this two days ago as I was craving for kuih-muih. I miss kuih-muih back home. I tried to make this before but I couldn't get the top to set but this time I managed to get it done although the top still looked wrinkly. I obtained the recipe from mykitchen. It is nice and not too eggy like some other recipes.

Knitted teddy bear II

I managed to get the pants done. But it is kind of big for my teddy bear. I should have stuffed more into its stomach ;) Someone commented that the bunny on the sweater looks like an old bunny because of the wrinkly whiskers.. haha.. better take them off.

A day at zoo - Part 2

Enjoy this video clip.. ;)

My knitted teddy bear

I started to make this teddy bear before x'mas and just managed to get it done few days ago. The teddy bear is naked so i thought maybe it would be a good idea to dress him up. So here comes the bunny sweater for my teddy bear. I made a red sweater because red means good luck and cny is just around the corner. Meanwhile, the bunny indicates the year of rabbit 2011. I like the cute pom pom tail. I'm trying to figure out the pant for the teddy bear. Hope I can get it done ;)

"Let's go to the zoo, there's lots of things to do.." (KFC song)

In this cold and wet weather we headed to the zoo today. We didn't expect that it would rain as the forecast didn't predict so. We reached there quite early around 10.30 a.m. The first place we visited was monkey island. The monkeys are supposed to be outside in the open air but because of the weather they are kept in the cages. Let's me share some photos and interesting facts about the monkeys.
