One Way Ticket

Sorry for the lack of updates...been busy lately with some changes in my life :)

So many things to do in such a short time! *runs around in a circle*

Buah Sukun aka Bread Fruit

Someone gave us sukun (bread fruit) last week. Sukun is one of my favouritest food! =) And i m always overjoyed to see buah sukun in the house :P

I love to eat it fried...

First, it is sliced thinly...

then deep fried to perfection!

it has a certain unique starchy taste which i absolutely love! do you like sukun?

A Walk in the Park

I have started a new regime for a few weeks now...making it a point to go for a walk in the neighbourhood park after work everyday :)

Bought my 5-toe socks especially for this! lol

nice or not??? love my 5-toe socks so much! LOL
5-toe socks is my solution as i tend to get blisters in between my toes whenever i wear my walking shoes

it is nice to go for a walk in the park after a busy day in the office...breathe in the fresh air, soothing my tired eyes with some greenery

and getting to know some 4-legged friends in the park...

i love to look at this one especially who likes to frolick around in the dirty puddles every evening...

if Red Sponge is here, i bet she would run for her life :D

Imperial Duck

One day, at Imperial Duck (same row as Lok Thian)...
this guy came out with the very very long spouted teapot to pour tea for us

Sorry for the blur pic...but u get the idea :D
It seems that hes some sort of an invited guest from China to err..'perform' for the guests. But i dont get what is so special about pouring tea out of a long-spouted teapot *shrugs*

The signature dish...the imperial duck rice

This is the combination rice

And my imperial duck noodles

I love the noodles...

The first time i tried out the imperial duck, it was soooo good...but after that, i dont really think highly of it anymore..

p/s shopping blog updated! :)

Secret Rendezvous

Last Friday, my 2 sisters and I took the day off for a secret rendezvous :) This is not the first time we organize a secret rendezvous but it is always something to look forward to!

We usually start early in the morning with breakfast...

This is my first time here...situated somewhere around Padungan

Hehehe looks cute? :D

This is the char siew pau which doesnt really look like char siew to me

I really underestimated this little pau. For some reason or another, eating just one of this small pau is enough to sustain me till 2.30pm! And we had this at around 9am. As a result, we did not manage to eat the rest of the sio bee (siew mai) and egg tarts :P

And this is the lotus paste pau

In between breakfast and lunch, we went to do our hair!... no pics for that :D

For lunch, we decided to go for Sushi King! The waiter recommended the special promotion of the month....

which is actually deep fried salmon belly with rice and some shredded vege

and its only rm8.90!!! valid till 31st march only ;)

i really really love this and have been craving for it ever since! wahaha...

someone did not leave me his sushi king member card before he left Kuching..grrr...so i rummaged around my purse and found this!

this is even better than 10% off..no? :)

after some shopping, we stopped by Starbucks to chill out

2 more stamps before i get a free drink!

p/s shopping blog updated! :)

Disturbing Ad

I saw this advertisement on a public bus a few months ago and for some reason or another...i find it disturbing!!!

Can you see that?? Biscuits coming out of the cow's tits! =_="

I know they are trying to say that the biscuits has real milk goodness and therefore, the cartoon used in the advertisement. Is it just me or have i just lose my sense of humor? Go figure...

Do you love hip hop?

Are you a fan of the hip hop music genre? Let me introduce you to a new face in the world of hip hop....Nyce Billy! He was was just signed under Everything to Gain Entertainment
out of NYC. So you can be sure he will be the next big thing in the music scene. He gained some serious industry attention and international recognition after winning first place at the Faces in the Crowds Showcase.A recent life performance of his upcoming album's debut single "Feel So Good" landed him the first place in the Faces in the Crowds showcase. If you have heard the song "Pour it on the floor" playing on your local radio station, it is Nyce Billy's famous single!

I have heard the song from Nyce Billy's myspace page, and i find it a nice and fresh change from the hip hop songs your normally hear. He was born on July 14, 1988 and he is only 20 years old! Can you imagine? And he has already accomplished so much. He is best known for his debut single "You Madd" which featured well-known New York rapper Jae Millz. Bill Nuyce shows a wide range of talent ranging Rap to R&B.

Colors!

Still remember my little Christmas wish for an 88 color palette?

Well...seems that i m a good girl after all 'x' Cos i really got it for Christmas...wahaha

ahh...all the nice colors...it is a pleasure just looking at it :)

its a nice palette with vibrant colors but my only vice is that its too big to bring when im travelling =\

but still it is a nice thing to have :)

Light Graffitti

Read about light graffitti from November 2008's issue of Digital Cameras and so i decided to try it out :)

Camera mode set to Shutter priority...following pictures taken at exp 2 sec, F/20, ISO 800 :D

first attempt...

FAILED...

2nd attempt...

FAILED...i was using my handphone to "draw"

so i resorted to using a flash light next...

better but still cant see what im writing...

ahhh....at last...

i was actually trying to write PC ..short for PINKCOTTON ...but it turned out like PE...bah!

World's Most Expensive Laptop

What is the most expensive laptop you have ever seen?

Few days ago, my colleague gave me the link to the Dell website and look what we have here...

A laptop that costs RM112,620!!! Even if you pay by instalment, you still have to pay RM9,386 a month!

Now we have seen it all ;)

p/s This was a mistake on the part of Dell, few days later they changed the price...it was supposed to be RM2,620! =_=""

pp/s My shopping blog updated again with CoastalScents brushes :)

Products for Pregnant Mums

I have never been pregnant before, so I certainly do not know the complications and hardships associated with pregnancy. But from what I have learned from pregnant women, they have to be extra careful on the products or food that they eat and use as they have to make sure that the products will not harm the fetus. It is too bad that I only hear Beaute de Maman products now as I could have recommended it to all the pregnant ladies before this :D

They offer a line health and beauty products developed by obstetrician to treat problems related to physiological and hormonal changes experienced by women during pregnancy. They only use natural and herbal ingredients so that it is safe for both mothers and fetus. Among the many products that they have are stretch mark creams, facial scrubs, face and body cream and lots more.

Their products are so popular that they have managed to find their way into the hands of Hollywood celebrity mums-to-be like Penelope Ann Miller! If you are a pregnant mum or you know someone who is pregnant, why not introduce them to this line of products? Order now and you can get free shipping for orders above $25!

Off to Penang!

Bye bye im flying off to Penang for the weekend =)

Till then...see u!!!

p/s just a filler post to hide the paid post below 'x'

Lost Doggie

It was raining quite heavily at around 6.30pm last Friday...and i was at the airport sending someone off...

So i parked my car...and as i got out, someone startled me abit. Actually it was as if he was waiting by my door for me to get out =\

THIS someone...

ya very blur i know...but my one hand was holding the umbrella and my other hand was holding my handphone trying to take this pic

He looked very pitiful and cold under the heavy rain and he just squinted at me thru the pouring rain. I didnt knwo what to do with him lar...cos i was hurrying to walk to the airport building

So i called him doggie...and he walked a few steps following me! And stopped n looked at me...

I called him again..and he walked another 3 steps...this went on a few times

so i was trying to shield him from the pouring rain by sharing my umbrella with him until a car drove past and the people in it was like staring at me for sharing my umbrella with a dog! =_=

So i had to leave him alone there under the pouring rain, bcos i was pressed for time u see

The poor lost doggie...i hope u r alrite...LOL

Guardian's Paddington Bear Promo

Been crazy collecting these stamps lately...

For every RM25 spent at Guardian, you get 1 paddington bear stamps...when u collect up to a certain number of stamps, you can redeem the bear for free!!!

I am so crazy about the stamps that i :-

1. no longer shop at Watson's
2. ended up with extra bottles of shower foam,contact lens solution,shampoo,conditioner just to get extra paddington stamps 'x'

Guardian really know how to CHEAT us ladies =)

The thing is i m not really a big fan of paddington bear...must be the excitement of redeeming a bear by collecting stamps painstakingly...

I still have 7 more stamps to go...need to collect at least 20 stamps to redeem the smallest bear :(

but even if i cannot manage to collect up to 20 stamps by the due date, i will buy it for RM19.90 with 10 stamps...what is wrong with me!!!

p/s anyone have spare stamps for me? 'x'!

The Horrible Incident

Still remember my Pekingese..DeeDee??

Not sure whether any of you have heard about pekingese eyes popping out of its sockets...but i have...and if u have not, then you have! lol. I heard of it few yrs ago and i was like half laughing to myself...hw could that happen...Until last nite...being chap goh meh and all...the neighbourhood tried to outdo each other with endless firecrackers and fireworks...

at around 8pm...my mum went out to put the dogs into their cage for the nite and saw my dog deedee with one eye hanging out of its socket!!! THE HORROR!!! I was SHOCKED beyond words...and didnt know what to do for a moment...

I knwo its unbelievable...but u better believe it! This is the first time i see this...and the painful thing was he was still moving around as if nothing happened...altho he was distressed..arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

So went sent him to the vet and the vet acted as tho pekingese with eyes hanging out of their sockets come to see her everyday =_=

Apparently its a common thing with pekingese...i quote

"I have recived a few ugly emails stating I am miss leading people into thinking a Pekingese eyes will not pop out of their head. I have spoke with Vets and Vet techs and there was the same responce from all of them. No a Pekingese eyes will not "just pop out" for NO reason. Its not like they are going to be just walking along and one day and the eye is going to fall out. HOWEVER if one becomes very upset and begains to strain (thus causing the eyes to buldge) the eye sockets are shallow enough to cause the eye to pop out due to the pressure from behind the eye. If they catch the eye on something or hit it on something the eye can pop out. And a blow to the head can cause it to pop out." (from http://www.pekingesebyseminoleranch.com/Questions_about_Pekingese.php)

We suspect the fireworks scared him and perhaps he knocked against something in his distress.
The doc had to remove that eye cos we didnt discover him soon enough :(

Brought him back today and he seems to be quite ok with one eye....he was even trying to play with us just now altho everyone was extra extra careful with him :P

Back from surgery :D
