Thank You and Goodbye
June 16th - marks the 15th month since Siaopo started this blog.
Today, Siaopo regret to announce that she has finally decided to stop blogging.
http://www.penang-siaopo.blogspot.com blog will end today until further notice.
Due to her busy routine these days, she’s lost the temperament for cooking completely and maintaining this blog.
She would like to take this opportunity to thank all her dedicated readers for the great supports.
Thanks for visiting the blog these years.
Blog will NOT be deleted for recipe reference purposes.
Sincerely grateful,
Siaopo

Saturday
It's 1 pm on a Saturday afternoon.
Siaopo has finished her Sunday School teaching preparation in the morning (previous post), cooked and finished lunch and now sitting typing away on the laptop.
Except for the FM 988 over the laptop, it's a complete silence at home.
So, where's that FELLA ?
One hour ago, hubby has vamoosed off to his golfing greens with his two mates, leaving his wife at home on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Hubby says : Today's game is very important.
Siaopo laughs. What the heck is so important since you play golf every Saturday !
It's a golf competition, he added.
Three of them, will pair as a team, heading 50 miles north Newcastle to Bramburgh Castle for a golf competition.
The last few days he had been going on and on about this competition over the phone ( as he was at Portugal over the week ), on all their strategies to win this event.
And so, today is the so-called big event.
Oh yeah, Siaopo did remember to wish him Good Luck before he left.
Gambate to hubby, Peter and Keith.

Psychotic golfer - All set for the event

Moving his golf gears - bags, trolley up to his Proton Ferrari
Siaopo will spend the rest of Saturday on weekly dreadful household chores, cooking the dinner and .....lastly, watching the World Cup ENGLAND VS USA at 7.30 pm BST.
Yeah, COME ON ENGLAND !
Sunday School - Crafts Preparation
Siaopo's turn to prepare the craft activities and memory verse for Sunday School this week.
This's week bible passage in the curriculum - Prison Priase.
Aim - To know that Paul and Silas trusted Jesus, even during hard time.
Siaopo is enjoying every minute in preparing the crafts for 30 kids of the two sessions.
Sunday School - this is one of those perfect places where Siaopo finds greatest joy in.
Siaopo's extremely glad that she has been given such a great opportunity serving as Sunday School volunteer teacher.
Over the years, she had gained valuable experiences in preparing interactive lessons, dramatic, music and craft activities for the Sunday School.
For many years, Siaopo has hope to do more to make a difference in lives of young people and this has been a perfect opportunity for her.
All the lovely kids never stop to amaze her.
Thank you.

Breakage Phenomena
Household appliances breakage phenomena - one after another.
For one, it was the extractor fan. (previous post )
Two, the kitchen extractor hood came along.
Three, the most recent - the hoover !
Both Siaopo and hubby are heart-broken.
There's definitely no weekend peace for hubby.
Weekend was spent fixing the appliances - one after another.
A mission for this man - Fix everything BEFORE 11th June !

The Outdoor Lover
Yes, two and half years old now.
She's now a sweet little girl in the pretty, feminine sort of way.
She adores nice hair clips and colourful hair band.
She's one with the greatest love for outdoor.
Cycling, running, jumping and footie. She loves them all.
Give her a ball and she would kick the ball again and again to the end of the garden.
She never stop to amaze both Siaopo and hubby with her ironic stamina.
Her stamina is just like rubber band - once stretched, it gets longer and longer.
Hubby was completely knackered after running around with her. Hubby is definitely getting too old for such a hyperactivity.
Hubby then sent Siaopo as his representative whilst he rested.
Siaopo couldn't catch up with her mega energy too.
Yes, this little sweetie does have amazing stamina !
