Birthday Eve

I had a mini birthday's celebration with my "daughter" (the youngest girl that I taking care) this afternoon. If you ask me where is my another 2 girls? Well, they went to vacation house with my host dad yesterday, and my host mom will take Avery meet them tomorrow. That mean they can't celebrate my birthday with me tomorrow... never mind I am going out to celebrate with my friends...

I bought 2 cupcakes, cause I don't think we can finish whole cake, and Avery and I love to eat cupcake. My birthday cupcake has a crab on it, it is because my Zodiac is Cancer（巨蟹座）. Avery choose the turtle cupcake, it also has a good meaning, turtle mean longevity（长寿）.

The following video I took when Avery was singing the 3 languages Birthday Song for me, Hebrew, English and Mandarin. She so cute and adorable...

Lemon Broccoli Chicken

In our refrigerate have so much chicken breast, so I decided to cook them for dinner, since no one will be home for dinner, only me and Avery. Normally my host mom cook dinner for us.

At first I was thinking to cook chicken with plum sauce, but after that I saw Campbell's Cream of Broccoli that I bought the other day, and at the back of the can has a recipe, then I look thru the recipe I found out that I have all the ingredients, so I decided to follow the recipe, that is Lemon Broccoli Chicken.

Gift From Malaysia

Guess what? I had received a mail from Malaysia...
I am curious at first, because the envelope didn't has sender's name or sender's address.


So I opened it, I got this inside and nothing else!! Not even has a note...
After I figured out, it might be from Uncle Dragon, because I had won his contest couple weeks ago.


Are they cute? Yup, they are... I love all of them!
Thank you Uncle Dragon! muaks... :*


I was thinking how to take a nice photo of them, then suddenly an idea pop up in my mind, since have 5 of them and I have 5 fingers, so I hanged them on my finger to take a photo. Izzit nice? haha... (^.^)


Now one of them is hanging on my Malaysia Line cellphone.
Why I choose her, not others one? Let me introduce her to you.
Her name NiNi, she is a swallow, she brought spring and happiness to us, when she fly over you, she wishing you Good Luck!


p/s: Uncle Dragon next time must write sender's name and address, if not the postman can't give it back to you when they can't get to the receiver! And please... at least write a note that showing is from you, if not, it like drop down from sky, from no one... luckily I am good in guessing... haha... :D
