Birthday cake

My son's birthday cake...


My first time to baked chocolate moist cake for my son's birthday.  Sad to say, it didn't turned out the way I expected.  The icings wasn't nice as it seems.  My family played on the design for the cake.  I'm still happy though cos it tastes good and not wasted :-D.  It's been a long time since I bake a cake, I was still single when I did my very first cake.  I won't lose hope,  I will try to bake again soon :-P

Dear John

Directed by Lasse Halstrom and based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, "Dear John" tells the story of John Tyree (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), the idealistic college student he falls in love with during her spring vacation. Over the next seven tumultuous years, the couple is separated by John's increasingly dangerous deployments. While meeting only sporadically, they stay in touch by sending a continuous stream of love letters overseas-correspondence that eventually triggers fateful consequences.
I'm a crybaby but on this film...I didn't cried at all.  Seems I wasn't able to connect with the characters.  Acting wise - not convincing.  But I like the songs especially the 3 songs I grabbed from YouTube.

Broccoli and Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce

Broccoli and shiitake mushrooms are pack with many to mention nutrients, that's why I so love to serve these to my family. 



My favorite side dish is Broccoli and Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce.  I cook this especially when our main course is fried.


Saute garlic, onion and mushrooms.  When mushrooms almost done, add broccoli and oyster sauce.  Finally, add pepper to taste.
