20200830 - A new Foldie bike! Lighter one Hito! Luke 10:4 Travel Light!

 Here's comes my Hito (S$499) ! Next to my Ranger! (S$700+)

Finally got a younger sibling for Ranger! 

Still love my Ranger which took me quite a long distance in travel now since 2011 ? But Cos we are getting older now, lifting big Ranger up can be a chore. It aint' light at 14-15kg!  Little Hito is 12 plus kg! That's the little Bro!

After much consideration - went for this 22 inch with Sports rim tyres! Looking Smart and good! Celebrating ND55 - Red and white spokes! ha ha!

Reflection

That maiden bike ride reminded me of this important principal!

Less burden, less weight allows one to ride up the slope much more at ease! Indeed as I compared with the Ranger.

So I reckon this is the same in life?

We ought to discard and de clutter our stuff in life.

Keep it simple and light. Just as the Lord Jesus commanded in Luke 10:4 "Travel Light. Comb and toothbrush and no extra luggage"!

And with less weight, we can move on more efficiently! Amen!

No looking back, no looking back!

HITO!

Here I Take Off!

20200826- Memories of Png Kueh! Mom Memories!

26/8/2020 THE DAY OF MY PNG kUEH mAKING!

 

It was so nice of my friend's mum to do this demonstration of this 'lost' teochew png kueh making!

Aunty Lim came and used her rice and tapioca flour manual recipe to show me the dough making.  Due to siome miscommunication, she did 1/2 of glutinous rice and so did I!  Well, in view of the huge amount of fillings, we decided to use another pack of soon kueh ready mix flour for the second batch.  All in in , we made about slightly over 80 pieces!

I bought 2 smaller sized plastic moulds, each costing $1-30.

At the end of the afternoon, the verdict was out - for dummies like me, guess the ready mix flour is good enough next time! The steaming was fast too! 5-6 min and I think my little steamer pot suffice, though I borrowed a big steamer from my brother just for this demo!

Reflection

It was a great afternoon of memories for me.

Bringing back fond memories of my time with late mom, making this teochew png kueh back in my younger days.

Gosh! Those good old days! Mom and us! Whee!
