Delicious Konnyaku Jelly

My girl asked, "Mum, why did everyone loves your jelly?"

It just finished within few minutes served. I was so delighted. I actually made some for a potluck gathering and then, someone asked me to make for her daughter's birthday. There was no secret actually, you just need to make sure using the correct ingredients and supplied. The fruits need to be fresh and colourful. And, this jelly powder brand that I used below so far was the best and easiest.

I actually bought few collections from this company, The Book People;-

1) Complete set of encyclopedia (20 series)- cheap and informative for my girl.
2) Read at Home (40 series)- Biff, Kipper - My 3 years old son love it.
3) Girls' story (20 series)- Interesting story and related esp for my girl.

It's all paperback but the price is reasonable and interesting. All is only RM200 including the postage from a relative from UK. I can't get this price in Malaysia and most bookstores did not sell a complete set. You may have to run from MPH to Borders just to get a complete collection.

Bukit Tinggi

We went to Bukit Tinggi last weekend, which is after the school holidays to avoid the crowd. It only took 45 minutes to reach our apartment. The 3 days 2 nights trip turned out to be 2 days 1 night! We departed after lunch from PJ. Packed dinner over Bukit Tinggi was well known to be super expensive. Staying in Meranti Suite was rather disappointing, due to lack of maintenance.

So after dinner, we travelled to the Colmer, which is the landmark of Bukit Tinggi for its French Medieval village. Nice to take pictures but not much of activities for the children, so rather boring after that. Back to the apartment, nothing much, slept early.

Colmer, Bukit Tinggi

Next day, visit the animal farm - rabbit, donkey and what else? Rather disappointed as it was similar to our local zoo's condition. Then, we went to the Japanese Garden. This was better as it was better maintained and the scenery was good. Afterthat, we went to the Colmer again for lunch. There was only 3 eateries, not much of choices. Again took pictures and then, hanging (lepaking around)...We left around 3pm. Too bored.
My advise, this place is worth to visit for a day trip or an overnight will do.

Junior Music Course Part 2

My girl has completed Term 2 and going to Term 3. Four students had dropped/withdrawn from this course. Not easy, weekly commitment and daily discipline to force your kid to practise!!!
I can say my girl is not interested but I told her that she has to complete the whole course, which is 2 years. Then, she can chooose for some other activities that she likes.
So for parents, my advice is you have to be determine, and prepared for this 2 years commitment if you wish to enrol your kids for this JMC.
Anyway, this course is a good exposure on finger exercise & keyboard.
