With my new Samsung Galaxy SII, I can now WhatsApp. Meredith has been learning and using whatapps to her dad.
This was what she wrote to him. All the chinese words were done by her without asking for help. I am impressed with her. Eugene was delighted. See the screen below and you will know why Eugene was so happy.
2nd try making egg tarts after seeing Laura’s photo in Facebook.
Glad that they turned out to be tasty as endorsed by Eugene, Meredith, Sean and my mother-in-law. However, still got to work on the egg to make it more tasty.
Ingredients:

2 tablespoon cornflour
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg yolk
100g butter
Method
1) Mix butter to the flour and cornflour follow by salt
2) Add yolk egg
3) Knead it into a dough
4) Press the pastry into the moulds gently using your two thumbs. Try not to have a thick pastry bottom.
5) Pook holes into the pastry using a fork
Egg filing
2 eggs
1 tablespoon condensed milk
a pinch salt
100ml evaporate milk
200ml water
2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
6) Melt water and sugar together
7) Add condensed & evaporate milk, vanilla extract, salt and eggs, beat and mix well
8) Sieve the mixture two times to get a smooth egg filling

Meredith having her eye sight checked after 3 days of Atropine drop. Degree drop from 400 to 275 for right & 150 to 0 for left, only with 75 of astigmatism. Will have her cool new progressive transition lens in 10 days time.
The side effects are light sensitive, allergic reactions and inability to focus near. That is why we got to make progressive transition lens. The lens + the frame costs $420.00.
The myopia control program is for 1 year. Got to put the atropine drop every night for 1 year and go back for review every 3 mths. Just hope everything goes well for her.
It has been a long time since Keegan sees his zoo phonics friends. Today we had a gathering at Takashimaya. There is a new restaurant at B2 (formly Mac Donald), it is called Pique Nique. Quite nice, there is a long table which can sits up to 10 persons.
Seeing from the photo, Keegan did enjoyed himself playing with Shannon.
