On 12th of September, its was mooncake festival for all chinese in conjunction to this celebration, it was too, my mum's birthday, Happy birthday Mom!
2 weeks before her birthday, I mailed a box of ferrero Rocher chocolate and a pair of pricey golden bow hairclips to her via post express,
It arrived just on time on her birthday, Thanks Postman! *wave*

Next,
I decided to try my 2nd attempt to create a similar appearance of the Japanese Giga pudding(Refer 5 posts back).
This was how it appeared that night,

I made it in the morning, which was an hour before I left for my thursday lecture,
The above homemade giga pudding is roughly around 15 cm in width and 15cm in height.

The Recipe is simple and quick,

-2 eggyolks

Utensils:

1.Pour sugar into saucepot and gradually add water, bring it to boil until caramel is golden brown and sticky. Pour into mould.

I chilled the huge giga pudding from 9.30am to 8.30pm (Approx. 11 hours) as it was huge, hehes..

Later, shopped at jusco supermarket for the whole afternoon and went back to the dorm to cook chicken wings,mix vegetables and japanese tofu together with Eunice and Heong yee for the gang in the evening. While Simon contributed a heart soup, luncheon meat, soya chicken slices and fried eggs. And Ah xiang's mum was really generous, he brought a dish of soya meat and bamboo shoot.
It was a fun night :),
Played lanterns and candle, ate mooncakes and stared at a moon partially blinded by the clouds LOL. xp
Chit chatted about jokes and ghost stories,
and We moved to Mcdonalds for supper,
then, I headed to heong yee's house for a nights' sleepover.

Bestwishes,
