My nephew turning 4

It's my nephew Donald 4-year-old's birthday today! And he was so excited for this day to come. He talked about it for at least a week before it, and thus he has been listening to us more, as we "threatened" him not to host his birthday party if he's not behaving. It's magic - it worked for most of the time :)

Yesterday, my family and I went to 5 different supermarkets (yeah, you read it right - it's FIVE) to buy food and stuff for the party. We need certain things at certain place, and those places don't overlap. And so we run from places to places for 5 hours. It's crazy - but it seems we had fun.

In this big chaotic cooking, I also stepped up and contributed a bit. I tried to cook Italian seafood soup (Zuppa di Pesce) for the very first time. My previous roommate (mommy Pink) cooked it before, and I loved it - so i gave it a try. This is the recipe I followed:

I also cooked the Grilled Salmon (Sue Harman’s Salmon Marinade) that I got the recipe from my gsb classmate Kevin. Absolutely loved it, and my family/guests liked it too.

I bought my nephew a Cars 2 luggage from Disney store - now he can travel to new places with his favorite suitcase. I personally loved it too, and wouldn't mind carrying it for my business travel later on, except i might look like an idiot. So I dropped that idea :)

Now time to sleep, and a new week starts tomorrow.

Happy birthday to you, Donald!
