Happy New Year 2016

Happy New Year 2016!!!

This photo was taken in Queenstown, New Zealand last year - 26 Sep 2015. It felt as if we were there yesterday for our holiday~ But here we are~ we just ushered in 2016!!! Time really passes too fast!! 

Looking back, 2015 had been a pretty fruitful year indeed. 

Just listing a few:

- learnt to crochet (sweater, pants, bookmarks, hats, bags, etc.)

- did more freelance jobs (database, publishing, ...)

- QW went from crawling, to standing and now walking/running~

- visited NZ medical center for the 1st time *Opps! I promised to blogged about the trip last year! *

- learnt more about babywearing and tried my hands at being wraps tester

- hubs surprised me with my very 1st Raffles experience at Tiffin Room

and the list goes on... 

*Haa~ Yes~ I am attempting to VERY briefly and "1st minute" (not last minute since 2015 is history now *LOL*) document 2015's highlights*

I hope that 2016 will also be yet another enriching or more enriching year =)

Wishing all that 2016 will be a even better year than 2015 =) 

Once again, Happy 2016 =)

Vegetarianism: Milo Inspired Recipes

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone :) Greetings from QW, my hubby and I!

QW ootd: Carter's

Now, back to the topic on Milo. What does 'Milo' mean to you? Most of us would probably just think of it as just a drink right? For me, Milo means a lot of other things, including memories.

I really LOVE and still have fond memories of Milo trucks! My primary and secondary schools hired them to provide drinks for our Sports Day at Kallang Stadium and Macritchie reservoir respectively. But no matter how I try to recreate the taste, I just cannot seem to get my homemade Milo to taste as delicious as those from the Milo trucks! If you know the secrets behind, please share!!!

Milo was also one of the few food that my mother was able to stomach when she experienced morning sickness. Milo porridge is still what I will have if I need a quick and nutritious meal (and of course when I am feeling lazy).

Anyway, featuring yet another brilliantly written article by my by my ex-band student Denise Bay! This round, she consolidated 20 Milo recipes! Out of those 20 recipes, I have only tried one: Milo porridge. I guess it is time for me to head to the kitchen to try more then!

Bon appetit!
May 2015 be as wonderful as 2014 for you all!
