CNY Reunion Dinner at Restoran Masakan Sedap (Photo)

CNY Reunion Dinner at Restoran Masakan Sedap

Last Saturday I tried to book Supertanker Restaurant for our family CNY reunion dinner but the restaurant was fully booked for tonight. Then I called Gaya Seafood Restaurant but they were not opened for business today.

So mum suggested Restoran Masakan Sedap. Since 26 January 2008, we had patronized this restaurant twice. The cooking has been quite good up until now. Since tonight a lot of people are having reunion dinner, the restaurant offered set menus. We arrived after 7pm and the food did not come out until about 8pm. Barnabas Ng fell asleep while waiting for the food to arrive.

Besides our family, my sis-in-law’s parents and Uncle Philip Lee also joined us.

The appetizer is fully sold out so the restaurant deducted RM50 from the supposedly RM388 set menu.

First dish to arrive was the black bean fish head. I liked this dish the best and it was quite tasty. Next came all of the other dishes ie. deep fried soft shelled crabs, dry buttered prawns, chicken chops with veges, deer meat, and veges. Uncle Philip liked the deep fried soft shelled crabs because he said he did not have to take out the crab from its shell in order to eat. The rest of the dishes were ok.

Dessert was watermelon, papaya and coconut jelly.

Dinner at Home

This evening Jeff came back from Kuala Lumpur. He will be in Kota Kinabalu until 20 February 2008.

We had dinner at home and mum cooked all of the dishes (shark fin and fish stomach soup, veges, prawn salad with ‘hoi jit’, fried fish, lamb slices and braised chicken & pork with eggs). Aunty Shirley Chong brought over the pig trotters.

Besides our family members and Aunty Shirley, Uncle Philip Lee, my brother in law Mervis Chong and my sister-in-law’s parents also joined us for dinner.

After dinner we watched the photos taken by Uncle Philip using the television.

Medical Bonus

Since I was on leave on 1 February 2008 to attend grannie’s funeral and 2 February 2008 to rest after one month of non-stop activities, I was only able to do the payroll when I went back to work this morning.

Besides our monthly pay, we also received our medical bonus. The bosses have been very generous this year.

For the previous year’s medical bonus, those who had a clean bill of health were given RM300.

This time round the rates are as follows.

1) Did not take any medical leave in 2007 – Bonus of RM1000.00
2) Took one day medical leave in 2007 – Bonus of RM800.00
3) Took one and a half day medical leave in 2007 – Bonus of RM700
4) Took two days of medical leave in 2007 – Bonus of RM600.00
5) Took three days of medical leave in 2007 – Bonus of RM400.00

Half of the people received RM1K including me. Yeah! And I gave half to mum for CNY.

Flower Arrangement (Photo)

Flower Arrangement

Today I placed a flower arrangement at the Canaanland Celebration.

The following message was printed in the bulletin.

"Today’s flower arrangement is by Jenny Ng to thank BCCM KK (E), Rev. Lee, brothers and sisters in Christ for the wreath, gifts, condolences and prayers in conjunction with the recent demise of her 102 years old grandmother, the late Mdm. Cheong Choi Kiew. God bless you all."

I ordered the flower arrangement from David Wan, one of my church members. David is an engineer by profession but loves to do flower arrangement in his spare time. Thank you David for the beautiful flower arrangement.
