New face for christmas

Once again its Christmas. This is probably my second christmas that I celebrate far away from home. Instead of making myself even more miserable, I'm giving my bloggie a new christmas facelift!! Thanks to Ally's blog who gave me the determination to revamp and add a little spice to my boring blog!!

YAY!!

There you go, my new snowman christmas-sy background to remind the kids not to be naughty as my snowman gonna tell santa whether ur have been good or naughty.

Curiously..my snowman look kinda sad isn't he??

Merry merry christmas everybody!!

Mooncake festival

I know it sounds kinda odd to blog about mooncake festival as it is already long over. But celebrating this day in UK where u hardly see any chinese..Plus the cold weather always make me miss home more. No playing candles by the park and no lattern fighting with younger kids like what we always do back home.


Though being so far away from home, we still do celebrate mooncake festival ala UK style. Sipping tea at frens house and ate home bake mooncake. Not forgetting, "family" dinner with my chinese colleagues.


Speaking of home bake mooncake, I wouldnt wanna be shy to show off some of my baking masterpiece. Though not professional but definitely tasty and healthy.

Flaky mini mooncake with pandan lotus with almonds seed filling (1st attempt)

Mini mooncakes with yam and lotus seed filling (Definitely yummy!! tasted and tested)

Hmm.. Kinda wish that mooncake festival was celebrated back home with frens, mummy daddy sis and bro..Miss you guys back in Malaysia..

what a friend

Browsing through everyone's PM made me realise how much I had missed out on my friends. Was looking at Edwin PM. promoting a blogspot. Little did I realise that the blog belongs to nevertherless bestie tong tong.. Can't belive I din even realise that she's selling and modelling clothes on the blog..How can I be that blind..

Moving in to some of Wen's post about frens..made me feel real guilty for not catching up with all of them..I'm really so so so SORRY..thousand, million and zillions of sorry..Let me undo what I had done..

Was living in my own world with work..more homework and homework..lacking initiative to blog and FB. I realise I really miss u guys so much..

Call u guys soon..muack muack..XOXO

Baking expedition

At some point of time during my summer hols, I became a baking fanatic for no reason. I wasn't exactly a stay-at-home-and-cook kind a girl..more likely to be labeled as playful girl..

Summer got me so warmed up to make cupcakes, jelly cakes and some other asian dessert..mostly desserts...those were my favourites..I do have sweet craving all the time which is kinda scary cos I cant lose weight this way!!! arghh...and its frustrating..

The first successful cake for the first time of my life.. A dragonfruit jelly cake top with assorted fruits..





Was indeed quite suprise by myself... I guess I even surprise my mom..The cake was made when I was back in Malaysia, so my mom kinda know every single things I do..To her I'm a total baking noob. Show u guys a upclose of my cake..hehe..Never be surprise enough!!






The second I came back, seeing that my cupboard is stock with coconut milk..my cravings come again..Needed for bo-bo-cha-cha..Missed it so much when I'm far in UK. Used to eat it like every week when I was a kid in Malaysia..Mummy I miss your bo-bo-cha-cha..Sweet coconut milk concoction with "everything nice" in it. YUMMY!!!

But been so lazy lately with all my work coming up..I prefer to sleep and eat more than anything..I hope to even diminish the "eat" part if possible..I wonder how is it like if human can survive without eating!! I know I can't...cos I can't even survive without eating more than 8 hours..arghh..

Wanna add in also another un-relevant note in this post..Really and extremely unrelevant..Random stupid things I do in UK. Teaching one of my colleague how to use a nappy for his future baby while working. Stupid and definitely unrelevant..But I still need to post it up...haha..just for the fun of it..Thats how I share my love with everybody..

The larger spoon is the baby's head..the two other smaller spoon are the baby's legs. the blue cloth is none other that our improvised baby's nappy!!

I miss you Bloggie

Been a long time since I blog..miss bloggie so much...

Ntg much happening ...N thanks to all my lazy bones, my fingers and brain were all on holidays...

But my eyes do read lots of blog though..Read through almost every blog Allison, Wen, Hwee Li, Tong, Yen and Charlene blog..

Gonna regenerate, rejuvenate and revamp my blog..gonna get more more rajin and blog more..

Sorry for missing out so much!!

Oh ya, I made steam fatt-gou!! It was so beautiful..can't believe I can actually bake..A total baking dummy can actually do that...I'm happy with myself..but need so much improvement..

The beautiful burst of fatt gou..

SAY what you SEE!!

After a tired day coming back from work..wanted to just go hug my smelly pillow and sleep..But my mood of sleeping was being distrupted by donkey asawa..sending me some IQ game to spoil my sleeping mood!!

Damm..but its was pretty interesting..So can't really scold him..Though I'm resenting him deep inside my heart!! hiak hiak hiak :p

The game name is SAY what you SeE!!

The idea of this IQ game is to guess what is the "hidden" meaning of the word shown. Some could be quite easy..Some are quite tricky!!

An example :

The answer for the first 3 is :

a) six sense

b) Oversea vacation

c) What goes up, must come down

Now try to guess the others..

I don't think there are a definite answer for this quiz. Its just up to ur creativity to decipher what those words means..

Happy Guessing!!

XOXO

Now is my sleeping time!! Nite nite..

A little celebration

Ntg been going with my life lately..other than working, classes and more studio work (which I hate it 99). Getting so sick of studio work..which never seems to end..from the start of the semester, the work is already a few mountains...after half a sem, its still a few mountains I see..no progression, no benefits, learn nothing..arghh!!

The heartbeat of my life almost died of boredom playing the same beat over and over again..

Till..Jimmy's bday party and also Florence farewell party...We had a good laugh with steamboat..though not very nice or good food..(except the beef and sotong) But its nice to gather all of us together once in a while.

Our steamboat extravaganza...Tung shu sitting der waiting to be serve..

Moi oso very busy eating..hungry eh!!

Jimmy- my ex restaurant manager who I used to be very scared of him when I first came..he got the very stern look lo..as if he's gonna kill me if I did the wrong drink or serve the wrong table..like a hawk watching small little fish swimming in the pond. But after you get to know him, he's js like any one of us..with lots of principle of his own..but he's not as scary as I describe though..He's a funny elder brother!! He's not that young either..as old as asawa!! Old ppl with their whole lot of principle!!

Yay..me and uncle jimmy!! the bday man..

Florence- dunno what to say bout her..So blur and straight foward as usual..You will never expect what sudden question will she ask which you probably be damm shock of!! and she dun look like her real age either. But she's one of the nicest colleague to work with..always dunno whats happening around her...I'm really going to miss you..really wanna dedicate this post for you!! Thanks for reminding me what I need to do and what I should not..Thanks for telling all those little tips to keep myself safe in RC. Thanks for sharing little LV GUCCI secrets with me..I'm really going to miss working with you!! take care and all the best in Malaysia!!

Florence (the one with the strippy gap hoodie), Dorris and Melina ..with Jo hugging me from the back (she likes hugging ppl..her hobby..haha)
