Mothers are the place where love

Emerges from the earth,

And happiness rings out like bellsIn honor of our birth.
Mothers are the sun that lights

For life our inner sky,

So we may know that we are loved

And need not question why.
Mothers are the moon that shines

Upon our black despair,

So even when we weep, we know

That someone's always there.
Whatever fear, or stress, or pain

Might them to anger move,

We know that underneath the storm

We have, always, their love.

Icon of Singapore Zoo Dies....

Ah Meng, icon of Singapore Zoo, dies of old age

SINGAPORE:

Ah Meng, the Sumatran Orang Utan that was considered an icon at the Singapore Zoo, died on Friday. She was 48 years old and had likely died of old age. In 1971, Ah Meng was confiscated from a family which had illegally kept her as a pet. She then found her home at the Singapore Zoo.

Ah Meng was the first to host the zoo's famous 'Breakfast With An Orang Utan' programme.

She soon became a celebrity, both locally and internationally. She had been featured in over 30 travel films and 'interviewed' by more than 300 writers.

In 1992, Ah Meng received a special award from the Singapore Tourism Board in recognition of her contribution towards tourism in Singapore. Ah Meng also contributed to the Singapore Zoo's captive breeding programme. She had five children and became a grandmother in 1990.

The Singapore Zoo will hold a memorial service for Ah Meng on Sunday at 11am.

NB: I am sure you'll be happy wherever you are Gal! Me being an animal lover, and visitor of the zoo on a yearly basis, will miss looking for this big old mama!

Maximise Your Food Dollars

I was reading this article and thought it would be useful for bored people like me out there...
NB: i read an article from a magazine, a woman's world magazine.. *faint*


Forget foil and plastic wrap!
Why keep tossing precious resources like aluminium and petroleum (used to make plastic wraps), when using them doesn't prevent bacteria from reaching your leftovers? Your better bet: airtight, reusable glass or plastic food storage containers.

Refrigerate fruits and vegetables in separate drawers
Some fruits emit a gas that speeds the ripening of other produce!
Tip: Squash, tomatoes and oranges actually last longer when kept at room temperature.

Before freezing meat....
Repackage it in heavy-duty, vacuum-sealed or zip-locked bags; squeezed out all the air first. Store packaging does not protect from freezer burn.

Sooo...

Underdogs Won - NY Giants!!!

I was never a football fan, soccer yes, and getting free tickets, sitting in the VIP seat is something you never turn down.... and of course the World Cup, where the only time of the year gambling, drinking, cursing all comes alive in one night, every night till the Finals...!

So, i rooted for the underdogs, NY Giants, where they were there on the fields, chosen as a wildcard, and NE Patriots has been winning 19 games straight...

I cooked chicken curry, fried chicken, stir fried french beans with minced beef, lars made dessert. We had friends over (Frank, Joanne, Patricia, Natasha), chilli, wine, another desserts was brought... (sorry, forgot all about the pictures.)

We ate, i actually watched football, learned all about it from Patricia and Lars and heck, it was not that bad, the most interesting and fun part about watching football.. you get to see the guys tight ass! Man, that was worth sitting 4 hours of football....

so, till next year....!
