Yummy Birthday Treats on a Friday

Chocolate Brownie
On Wednesday I had a great 34th birthday celebration. This year I decided to bake myself a chocolate brownie cake to share with friends and family.  I initially wanted to make a Tiramisu cake but realized that some of the ingredients which were needed were missing at the last minute. I’ll save making the Tiramisu or change it to a Chocomisu and bake it next week instead. The kids loved eating the brownie.

It was the first time that Tiger girl too took a bite of the brownie. She normally passes on all the bakes that I make. I guess that it must have been super yummy for her to get her stamp of approval on it. My friends who I met for lunch too liked the brownie.

Firehouse ice-cream

Tea was spend with my mum and we went to Swensons for their firehouse birthday special.  It felt nice to have a mother child bonding session with her without the kids. It has been a long time since both of us went out together on a mother daughter outing.

Sushi

I ended up the day with having dinner with R at Itacho Sushi at the airport. The food was really yummy but a bit pricy. It was great to finally be able to have some couple time with him.

It was really great to have time to spend  my time with my friends and family without the distraction from the kids.

How was your week?

Writer’s Workshop: Memories of Childhood

When I was young

Memories are things that help to build up your life experiences. Good and Bad they help to shape your life and groom you into the person you are today.

The earliest childhood memory that I had was about my interest with the camera. I loved having my parents take photos of me and posing for the camera.  I would smile readily whenever the camera is pointed at me.

I guess that my fascination with camera started from there.  I liked to see myself on print. Back then there were no digital cameras and everything was on film and printed out. My parents took many pictures of my sister and me and there are loads of albums of our old pictures back at their place.

I remember that I like to pose with my favourite teddy bear which was given to me by my nanny. However looking through the album which I have on hand I couldn’t find any nice photos of the bear. It is great that  I have all these photos of my childhood years all in print. Even though the photos have yellowed with age but they are really precious keepsakes which I have.

Do you help your children capture the memories of their childhood?

Are they documented?
