It's just so good to be cuddling in his arms again :)

Played masak-masak again (as how mr-penman puts it!) on Sunday night. Made dinner for the hubby. I'm sure he missed home-cook meals :)

Celery with lotus root

Ginger and serai chicken

Chinese herbal soup

Well *ahem* ok, the other reason for cooking was because Sunday night was the height of the Hungry Ghost Festival (14th day of the Chinese Lunar 7th month). Mama advised not to go out at night >_<

*makes mental note to cook the chicken longer next time* LOL

Hubby got some gifts from China. For us and our families >_< He went to the part very close to the Russian border, and therefore he got some Russian gifts as well.

Matryoshka. Russian nesting dolls. These are painted wooden figurines ...



... that open in the middle. To reveal another smaller doll, within which there's another one, and another one, and another one, and so on >_<



Then there's this red little gooey piggy that he got for my nephew. Which you splat it on the floor and see it form back into the piggy it is.



A Chinese wooden scroll. With some wordings that look resemble carvings. Though I doubt they're real carvings :P I think it's about the "36 Strategies" of Ancient China. Anybody reads Chinese?



The hubby wants to frame it up and hang it on the wall >_<

Wild ginseng. Nice box. Even comes with a certificate -_-" Which I doubt means anything to me *LOL*



I was taking pics of this, when I noticed something. So I teased him, "Did you notice? That the ginseng is broken??!!!" :P



>_<

There're also some sweets, more Chinese medicine/herb stuffs, caviar for ourselves, etc etc.

But I think these are the best of the lot ...



Mmm-mmmmmm. Chocolates!!!

And of course, nothing beats the hubby returning home safely >_<
