My Valentine Sweet



Well, how many of you guys have plans to celebrate the day? Me? yes, I did have one, like going to a restaurant, buying us a cake and asking my other half to be my Valentine, but my plan fells short finally. Anyway, I do make some strawberry jam at home for my family and his and I think what can be sweeter than homemade strawberry jam today. I have to admit that it is not my recipe; it is all Jamie Oliver’s and thanks a lot for teaching me how from the show. Just like he said, for 2 kilos of strawberries, I add 300 grams of sugar and smashed them first. Then, stir and bring them to boil. When it boils, turns the stove to medium heat and, skims the foam every 5 minutes. When the color turns to deep red, I have got myself a nice homemade strawberry jam, which is not for me by the way, and I am happy to give those to my beloved ones. Happy Valentine Day everyone, especially you, my beloved AiR, Happy Anniversary too!!!

Happy Birthday



I miss my family more than anyone could imagine this time of the year, not that I believe in Santa, but that this is the time I had much fun with my family. Back home in Yangon, I am sure my brother and sisters will get together to celebrate my youngest sister’s birthday, doing good deeds in the morning and drink a toast to her in the evening.

More than a decade ago, my mom went into labor this very day and gave birth a cute little baby. As most husbands do, my father was outside the labor room; anxiously waiting for the news. The following conversation took place an hour later when a nurse came out and informed him about the newly born.

“Your wife has just given birth a baby.”
“Thank you, a boy or a girl.”
“I don’t know, I just know it is a baby. Anyway, I will check again and let you know.”

Later that night we all knew about the baby girl and since then she has been with us, and stuck together through thick and thin. I just let my family knows that my heart and soul are with them today and wish my little sis “A very Happy Birthday and many happy returns of this day”.
