First Ever Handmade Ferrero Rocher Bouquet

Selina's Birthday is coming up. My SIL and I was discussing one day what to give her.

She suggested why not a Rocher Bouquet?

Now, I have never done ANY bouquet before.

It took me 1 night to think about how to do the "stalk" and "petals" AAHAHA

But finally I manage to complete all the stalks of Rochers in two nights.



















This is how 18 stalks looked like before I wrap it. It may look simple, but its not as easy as you think. All the sewing and cutting and cello-taping.
























Hmm, not very satisfied with my wrapping (the stalks are too short). But at least its nice and presentable. So here is my first ever hand made Ferrero Rocher bouquet.

Happy Birthday Selina!

There's some SICK bastard(s) out there

My man was happy that I woke up earlier to make him a nice breakfast. We ate happily，heartily.

It was when he was opening the front gate that I heard him yell "F$$K!!"..followed by "不知道谁这样变态！"

Of course I was curious and ask him what happened from the front door. You see, recently we bought a kitchen hood for our new kitchen (will blog about it soon), and we didn't want to keep the big box that came with it. When we tidied and cleaned our new kitchen last weekend, arranging stuff into our new kitchen cabinet, we threw away some unwanted items which includes plastic containers (we had lots of them), expired goods, biscuits (that I don't want to eat anymore, so..into the box they go 'x'), and when I was making dinner, I threw garlic skins into the box 'x', and a broken light bulb.

SO

There I was standing at the door, asking Oink what happened.I can't really hear clearly of what he said, he was outside. But I heard "Box....don't know who...and left the garbage..." But from where I was standing, I can see the broken light bulb lying on the road. So I thought,may be the garbage truck worker didn't lift the box properly, and the broken light bulb fell out of it or something.

I need to get to work by then, so I turn back to get my bag, my car key, got into the car, started the car, reverse. And that's when I saw the horrible horrible sight! The big box was gone alright. But the content (the rubbish) we put inside, are left strewn on the road! Someone SICK-TMD-ASSHOLE took the box, and left our rubbish right at where we left the box! Oh the rain soaked biscuits!The bottles of expired goods! All there! T-M-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looked like a mini dump site area! ARGGGHH..

Its April Fool!

BUT I totally forgot to fool anybody!

I am just too demotivated at work this whole week that all I look forward to was lunch break and the time to go home. :D!!!

Anyway, although I was very demotivated, I managed to finish my targeted workload for the week. Am happy for that. But my most productive moment was when I was photoshopping a butterfly as wall decor for my new kitchen. I was damn excited when doing the editing work. How I wish I can have half the passion for my job. 'x'!

Laksa @ Li Yuan Cafe, Jalan Song

We first tried this place out of curiosity. Bored of the usual breakfast places. We decided to try this place.

They have only 2 stalls. Laksa & Kolo Mee. For the first visit, we tried the Laksa. It's quite good. Back then, you can count the customers with your fingers. We went back a few times after that. Since its very near to our house. And now, for most of the time we were there, its almost full. Once Oink tried the kolo mee. Nothing special. We don't think its good also.

Sorry, we don't have the photo for the Laksa. AHAHAH. Always realize we forgot to take the photo half way into eating.:-p

Li Yuan Cafe is at one of the small shops behind Precint 88.

If there's a will, there's a way

I don't brush Mango's teeth. Instead I buy her Pedigree Dental Stix from time to time, which claims to prevent tartar buildup.

Mango loves her Dental Stix. If she sees me going into the store room, she will follow me and hoping I will give her one.

So that weekend, the packet of Dental Stix was in a big plastic bag beside her cage. She manage to catch the scent. And this SNEAKY PUG!She actually manage to get it out of the big plastic bag. There was 3 good stix left it the packet. And the opening was secured with a rubber band. I don't know how she did it, she manage to remove the rubber band and get her prize.

























By the time Oink found out, one and a half of the 3 stix were already gone. Needless for me to say that Oink gave her a good scolding after that, topped with some butt slapping. Calling her a thief.

He then close the door to the room to prevent her from doing it again. Now...This happened in the morning.

Later in the afternoon, I actually opened to door to get something, and left the door open. I went to the kitchen and when I came out, this is what I saw (thank god camera was nearby).
























WHAT THE!! ROFL! OOPS SHE DID IT AGAIN! All 3 stix gone in a day! Oink was furious, again calling her a thief, slapping Mango's butt butt and you know what? She acted like she didn't give a damn, happily chewing her Stix. But when she finished her Stix, Oink was still yelling at her, and what do you know?She came to me for refuge. Hoping I will protect her from Oink. HAHA! Who says pug is the stupidest breed of canine?! My Mango is so bright OK?! AHAHHA.. I told Oink, Mango was not stealing, the Stix are meant for her anyway. At least she put some effort to get what she wants. RIGHT??

Cheezy Station & Young Su's Ice Cream

I've heard of this place from Selina before. So we decided to try. If you know where Jln Song's Young Su's Ice Cream is, this shop is behind/ next to Young Su (depends on which direction you come from).



















At first we sit inside. Got aircon ma.




















While waiting for our order, I studied menu and spotted this typo. HAHA. Soon enough, we can smell the food they are preparing. Its a small place, the kitchen hood doesn't help much. I don't really like the oily smell. So we moved outside.




















Our drinks. I ordered Mineral Water (RM1.2) which turns out to be drinking water, and was given a glass with ice and a slice of lemon. Oink had tea (RM2).



















Parmesan Chicken. (RM10++). First bite was not bad. The chips were too oily for me. But I didn't really like it after having a few more bites. Its deep fried, heaty and oily.


























Calzone Kiev (RM10++). I like this wayyyy more than the Parmesan Chicken. Look at the size of it compared to Oink's big hand.



















If I ever visit here again. I might order this again. It tasted just nice.

After stuffing ourselves with all the food. We moved next door to Young Su's Ice Cream.





















This is my first time here. I always wonder what kind of Ice Creams they sell here.





















Unfortunately I was too too full.

I would love to try the Yoghurt Ice Cream next time.
























And its very very affordable!

I flipped through the menu. The most expensive thing i saw was Korean Ginseng Tea pricing at RM6.5.

We ordered Chocolate Ice Cream blended if I'm not mistaken (RM6)to share.

























Its not very sweet. But its refreshing enough.I think this is a good place to hang out with friends.

You can see Young Su if you come from Jalan Urat Mata.

If you come from Jalan Song, Young Su is actually behind Precinct 88, if you are not sure what is Precinct 88, look for Starbucks.

Another Mango Bath Story

Well, I still can't resist. I blog about her bath before. But she's so cute ler..I can't resist to blog about it again. HEEEEEE...

























That's her..tired of waiting and decided to sit in the pail.


























But once the bucket is full of water, she don't want to sit anymore and stood on her hind legs. LOL!

Read the other Mango Bath story here.

Surprised One Morning

It was my turn to wake up early and feed Mango that morning.

I woke up groggily and grouchily. I was really reluctant to get out of bed. It was drizzling, its so nice for sleeping in. But I don't want my dear Mango to get starved. So I got up anyway.


She heard my footsteps and was making all the "manja" noises. I let her out. And was heading to the door. As soon as I open the door, my half-closed eyes registered something is not right. What is all those white stuff on the floor?




















DAMN CAT! Must be playing with the toilet roll we left outside AGAIN! We have 2 suspects. One is the White Persian cat that belongs to one of the neighbors. And another one is a striped cat that looks like he's wearing white socks. But who's the real culprit? I can't believe it! Our house got mess up by a cat on a CNY morning..Don't know whether should I laugh or be angry..

CNY Thingies

After nights of watering, putting chicken shits on it once in a few months...

finally!

FINALLY!


























It flowers! Just in time for Chinese New Year too! I proudly display it next to the door, so that everyone who enters can have a good look. :-)

























I took this photo one afternoon while I was alone in the house, waiting for my friends to come for visiting. Oink was away playing poker with his friends. I like the combination of colors the cakes and fruits made.

Never say never

Hello there

I hope its not too late to wish you Gong Xi Fatt Chai..if there's anybody still reading :D

I remember when I was a child, primary school age to be exact, I was bullied by a guy. He was really mean. And his surname was SIM. I have forgotten his full name though. And I quickly conclude that all SIM MUST be EVIL. And when I grow up, I WILL NEVER EVER marry a SIM.
And whadda ya know, 10++ years later, I married one *ROFL*


And when I was in my teens. I told people around me, my future Boyfriend MUST NOT be younger than me, not even a day, and cannot be more than 4 yrs older than me. And whadda ya know, a few years later, I married one who is 7 yrs my senior *ROFLLLLL*

SO U KNOW WHAT IS THE LESSON OF THE DAY?

That is never say never

ROFFLLLL~

Nothing

I got NOTHING to blog about. Except for the few photos in my HP.

But forgot to bring cable. 'x'

Very lazy to work lately, holiday mood already. I wonder...Is it just me?Or got others also holiday mood.

Waisted post

Alone at home now. So went to look at old photos in my ext hdd. I looked at the photos before I got married.

























This is the cheongsam I wore at my Wedding Banquet. Nice? I tried it 2 nights before the wedding to make sure it fits. Was still quite slim back then. That was back in Nov 2007. Then we went to HK, China, Macau in March 2008. HK food was so good, I keep stuffing food into my face. I came back with extra inches to my waist. BIG MISTAKE. After that hor, I keep giving myself excuses such as, AIYAH, married already, no need keep fit liao lah..'x' BIG MISTAKE 2! The hor, I lazy go exercise also. BIG MISTAKE 3!

Then I bought tickets to Krabi for Oink and I (sept 2008). Bought a bikini. Made a promise to slim back so I will look sexy in the bikini. Even told oren & redsponge I will keep fit. BUT LERRRRR, I didn't do anything, didn't watch what I eat, didn't exercise much. And I looked back at my Krabi photos, I looked HORRENDOUS!














Booohooohoo..like an elephant lo.

Krabi is a very beautiful place. I feel like I spoiled the whole picture. :(

After that, I joined Tai Chi. Played Badminton. Got back to Yoga. And I can feel that I slowly starting to lose the extras I gained. It's a very very very very slow process though. But at least its better than nothing. At least in my Taiwan photos, I looked sooooo much better compared to the Krabi ones.

I felt slapped on the face when I was looking at my Krabi photos just now. T.T It gave me more motivation to lose weight.

My motto now is to lose more for the upcoming CNY. MUST.BE.DISCIPLINED.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!

TIME FLIES, almost unbelievable.

Today is the first day of 2010, but I want to post about something happened last year.ROFL. A very belated post. I admit. I was lazy. Almost don't want to blog anymore. But when I thought about the joy I will have in the future years when I read back what I wrote, its what motivated me. :)

The date was 20.12.09. And it was a meaningful day.

















We went to help at Cheshire's with Selina and MIL.

























They needed a Santa. ROFL. First choice was Jee, but too bad he can't fit the costume.


















First, lets have lunch. MIL and Selina helping to distribute lunch to the people at Chesire.


















After lunch, its time for entertainment.


















The one organizing the event is the nice lady in the middle. If not mistaken, her name is Annie. She was the one that sponsored lunch also.


















Everybody enjoying themselves. :)

























Then we are off on our mission.

























Can't help it. Oink is too cute as a Santa.


























Oink the Santa giving away presents.


























This guy was watching wrestling on TV when we came. AHAHA.


















Its good to see them so happy when they get their presents.

After the event at Chesire. We had a break and off we go to SSPCA.

This is what we manage to collect this year. EH! I mean last year. :-p


















Not bad eh? Btw, they need a lot of newspaper everyday. So if you have, can send yours over.

Its the most meaningful Xmas I ever had.

Sign of Aging

WHITE HAIR.TMD. 'x'

Eyes only

Someone has been nagging me to quick quick post on this topic.

well..


I got my hands on some stuff lately. All on beautifying my panda eyes.

Some more lately got so many wedding banquets to attend to. So I get to experiment and play with them.

























Been reading that some pretty bloggers uses this. Now I get to try it.















The comb looks like this. And it has 2 sides. I am not sure which to use first, so I start with the wider width one (1) . Then refine my lashes with the finer one (2).










Now this is how I look before makeup. ERM, not totally :p without any makeup at all. I had BB cream and drew my brow with an eyebrow pencil and also put on concealer. SIGH..my lashes are short. And someone commented how come my lashes are shorter at the corners. VERY THE CIS!










And this is how I looked after I am done with my eyes. Am not very good at makeup though. 'x' But the mascara really make my lashes look more prominent and longer. I can feel the lashes getting hard when I applied another layer of the mascara, making it easy to curl it and make it stay curled.

Then, on the other night, I experimented on false lashes. I find it quite hard to use my hand to put on the false lashes nicely, but, with the help of a tweezer, I did it in less than 30 secs.









HOW?VERY NICE RIGHT??!

I put on one eye only to show you the difference.









Look quite natural hor?









A close up look.












NICE! Looks like own lashes. I should try these long ago!


So now, for a more glam look, I will put on false lashes, if not, on lazier occasions, I'll just use the Majolica Majorca Mascara. TEEHEEHEE.

You can get them too @3prettygirls.

Its almost xmas!

and I haven't finish my Christmas shopping!


HEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP!

6 Weddings

I've got invited to 6 weddings, can't attend one, cause I'll be at Sibu for another wedding. After 4 fishes, 2 shark fin soups, 2 fish lip soup, COUNTLESS food and expanding waistline that started last Saturday (YES! I have been stuffing myself fat everynight since Saturday!OMG), I still got one more wedding to attend! ONE MORE TOMORROW! After that, it will be diet and detox time. *SIGH* My choice of dress also gets looser and looser by the day.AHAHAH!

26.11.09

2 years ago. This date. We got married. :)


I got a big surprise in the morning.

























Oink got someone sent this to me at the office. Its such a big surprise. So sweet of him. Actually I didn't think its from him at first. Cos you know, after we got married, I never got any flowers from him anymore. :D This is the first after we got married. Such a lovely surprise.




But I can recognize this handwriting anywhere! AHAHA! So we got a date to go Magenta, 7.30pm. Feels like we are back to our dating time. Ahhh, this warm and fuzzy feeling.



Getting ready. My eye makeup. Nah...give you my panda eyes to see. And got some fine lines as bonus. SIGH..getting old already.

Anyway, after doing my hair, which I did lousily still (so no pictures of my hair), it was late. Already after 7.30pm. AHAHAHA.




For starter, we had pumpkin soup. I LOVE PUMPKIN SOUP! But this one not creamy enough. But still good. I just wish it could be creamier. The portion is enough for 2 person.

























My nice Oreo Smoothie. SINFUL!


























Oink's Mocha Smoothie.


















My main course : Wild Mushroom Sirloin. YUMS!

















Oink's Main Course : Lamb Shank. Yums too! But most places also got Lamb Shank. 'x'


























Our dessert. Creme Brulee. This is the worst Creme Brulee I ever had. Luckily its FOC.

After dinner, we went to the movies. I get to pick.*GRIN*


















NEW MOON! I finished reading all the books. I've watched Twilight like a million times. I love it so much lo. Edward is soooo handsome. But don't know why I think he is no longer that dashing in New Moon. Hmm...much paler...Jacob on the other hand..wah..got such a nice bod..:D~~~

Oink keep asking me questions while we are watching the movie, because he didn't watch the first installment. And he there keep saying "why so loso? All talk, no action." AHAHAH..but I am very grateful that he willing to watch this movie with me. He queued up with the many people during lunch hour just to buy us the tickets.

Edward asked Bella "Will you marry me?" at the end of the movie. And I heard a girl at the next row squealed and clapped. AHAHAHA.

















I saw this on the bed. HHMM. Since when Oink know how to buy such gift? All these while, most of the gifts I got from him are gadgets.AHAHAH. No photo of what's inside. Nothing naughty. Its something pink and sweet. That's all you needed to know. 'x'
