Just as Renee and I were leaving for the violin class, we met our neighbours outside our door and they invited us to their 2nd child's full month celebration(I had already anticipated it to be yesterday or today) but as usual, we didn't go for the buffet, just handed them a gift when we got back from our shopping.
We came home to rest for awhile and for Renee to have her lunch after the lesson, before heading out. I needed a new fying pan and this time, I'm looking for a good stainless steel one. I've long given up on non-stick woks as it's been known to be no-good/healthy and hard ionized ones are super hard to maintain(think not very gd as well?).
Tried to look for one by WMF, Scanpan, the like but they're all super heavy! Its weight would be good for stability but what good is it if I can only cook but can't bring up the pan to pour the remaining sauce/food onto serving plate/dish? lolz. So finally, we settled for 1 by '
Vita Craft' -Seattle II, and it's a good grab - almost 50% off! And it comes with a basic cooking book which unfortunately, is in Japanese language...
UP : S$305, now S$150
Oh, there's a story to share too... Earlier, waiting for V to meet us at the cookware department, I adhered to Renee's request to go to the children's department where she explored the Halloween displays before proceeding to her usual - toys department. At one point, she was sooo engrossed with 1 of the toys that she didn't even bother to answer me when I called for her, not even reacting after I've pretended to say good-bye to her. A minute later, she began to realise that I might really be gone and started to look for me. The other mommy standing near her, saw that I was secretly watching her, knew my intention and did not tell her, though I suspected she, like most of us, would love to tell her. "Mommy, Mommy" for the 2nd time and she began to panic. She began to walk to the other side and I tried to quickly follow suit in order not to really lose her, a man saw and told her I"m there, aiya! Ok, time to show up and seeing her almost tear-ing up face, made my heart sank but I still have to chide her for not staying close and not listening to me. Then out of a sudden, I realised that her wrist's empty! The little pouch('stlyishly....' hanging on her wrist, haha) which she's sooo insisted on carrying out today was gone! We've told her many times, after she's lost I think 3(or more) of her toys whilst out, not to bring any of her stuffs out but she has insisted again that this time she'd not lose sight of it but... After a few rounds of tracing back the places she's gone to, we still coudn't find it and I told her that it should be really gone already and papa will surely scold her for again losing her belonging and she cried "mommy, protect me". OMG, people must be wondering how monstrous her daddy is, hahahahaha.
Then, whilst we were looking for the little bag, I thought I saw someone I 'knew' and seeing the kid beside him, I knew I was right. However, I didn't see Karen around and so, I decided to just carry on with our search first and there she was, pushing sleeping Ethel in the stroller, walking past infront of us! What a pleasant co-incidence! It's been a long while since we've met and hearing that Renee's lost her pouch, she asked for its description. When we have given up hope on getting the pouch back and was looking at the frying pans, I got a call from Karen and I was thinking 'could she have found it?' but as Renee would have heard it if I asked out loud and not wanting to build up hope in case it's otherwise, I didn't ask Karen so but luckily, she really did... Thanks again, Karen!
