How To Make Ice Cream?

Date:  Dec 18, 2015

Do you know how to make Ice Cream?

With two aluminium bowl, milk, cream, sugar and salt.  

After this trip, I finally knew.

This is where we learned how to make Ice Cream.  Hokkaido Ice Cream is really good.  This is gelato type of Ice Cream.

We have been here last year.  We have our wonderful Ice Cream here.

It is nice to re-visit this place.

When we came here last year, we only buy the ice cream and sit at the barn there and watch the cow and Mt. Yotei.

We didn’t know there is a short course teaching you how to make Ice Cream.  

Thanks to the private tour agency and the tour guide who brought us here to experience something that is different.

Wow, this girl looks like 广末凉子.

When she is teaching, every one watch.  The lady in the middle is Tomoko-san our private tour guide.

It is nice to have a tour guide who speaks perfect English.

I pity the next table, whom I believe the family is from Malaysia, they too have a private tour guide, but the tour guide was not doing any thing or explaining.  As for our Tomoko-san, she explained and translate every sentence the pretty girl is saying so that we know what to do.  And luckily for that, the table next door got huge benefit and fun by listening to her explanation in English.  :)

Let’s get on to it.

First we need 380cc of Milk.  Hokkaido Fresh Milk.

Then, you add 120cc of fresh cream in it.  Mix it.

Next, you will need to put 40g of fine sugar and mix everything with a stirrer.

It’s time to stir and mix the milk, cream and sugar together.

And then, the cube ice are placed in another aluminium bowl.  This is to cool down the milk plus cream.

And then, you need to place the salt onto the ice.  So that it has lesser direct ice to ice frictions and keep the temperature low.  I think.

Yup… just put all the salt in it.

Kay can do such a simple task.  Put salt onto the ice.

Meanwhile, our ice cream mix is already ready.

Place the milk cream on top of the ice bowl and start spinning.

While spinning, scrap the ice cream off the bowl.

Then, scrap more ice cream of the bowl.  keep spinning.

 

Your ice cream is almost done.

This is how cold the bowl can be.  Very cold.

And it is done!

A few more spin.  And it is completely done.  Our first home made ice cream by hand.

Now she teaches us how to make the waffle.

Place the Ice Cream on it.  Yummy.

And our successful home made ice cream.

Of course, kids learned and have lots of fun!

Time to say good bye.

See you next year.

Kay Kay Completed His Kindergarten

Date:  Dec 29, 2015

Finally, since 18 months old, Kay Kay has finally say good bye to his pre-school - Lorna Whiston.

Next year, he will be joining his brother for Primary 1.

Just after he got his blue belt in Taekwondo, he attended the Pei Tong Primary School orientation.

He felt happy on that orientation day.

He gets to wear his new uniform.  Looks a bit big.

He is funny.  So, he will definitely survive in his Primary School years.

When he was in K1, we were a bit worry about him, wonder when he can grow up.  But K2 seems completely different, and he grew up fast during that year.

His bodyguard will be protecting him for the first 3 years in Primary School.  Jay Jay!

This will be his new school bag.

On Nov 28, this is the day Kay Kay for the first time will not be sleeping at home with parents.

That day is his K2 Camp Night.  This is the traditional day where K2 students spent the night with the teachers at school.

But this year, LWPS did it differently.

Instead of having the school camp in Lorna Whiston Pre-School, the school camp is held in Sentosa Underwater World.

Yup, he is going to stay overnight at Sentosa Underwater World.

There are a lot of activity for them to do at Underwater World.  And they don’t get to sleep until 12 mid-night.  Wow.  

How exciting.

Look how happy he is sitting beside his best buddy Collette.

I think they are going to see the dolphins outside.

Of course learning the different kind of fish species in the aquarium itself.

Wow, it is amazing and it looks so fun.

Let’s take a quick pic here.

It’s dinner time.

 

More activities…

Yeah, we are taking a tour.

This is so cool.  Wearing pyjamas in the Underwater World and walk around.

Yup, I am going to sleep with this fish later.

I think it is almost 12 mid-night, and the kids are still awake??  hahaha

Amazing.  So much fun.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong

The clock strikes 12 and all have to go to bed.

Nite Nite.

Good night Kay Kay.

They sure wake up early next day.

So surprise that they can even wake up.

Let’s do more excursion.

Wah… So happy ah….

They really visited a lot of places.

Even playing with the seals.

Then, they learn more stuff from the video.

Meanwhile, the parents of the kids were having fun with their siblings too.  Play Luge.  They are waiting to fetch Kay and Collette.

And I am on my 6-days conference trip to Bangkok with 4 days playing golf.  hahahaha

And it is finally done.  Kay Kay finally done his K2 camp.

So as Collette.  With a happy face.

A big thanks to their favourite teacher.

And that concludes their happy K2 camp.

And finally Kay Kay has completed his pre-school years.  4 years and 6 months in Lorna Whiston.  It will be a very memorable memory for all these kids.
