In The Mood For...Chinese New Year!

Saw this lion dance while doing last minute grocery shopping...


Spent an entire week in Malacca...New Year's mood in Jonker's Street as seen below...every street was filled with cars and people...so joyous unlike in KL....


Also learned something new this year...picture of ' fa gao' on 'nian gao' (prosperity cake on sticky cake) with a cute meaning...'nian-nian fa' (Prosperity every year!)

Flowers for All Occasions...

Don't know the names of some of these (mostly chrysanthemums) but don't they just look beautiful...

Wedding Preparation Checklist continued...

I have more wedding checklist to share....again, I have no idea how to post an Excel file here....

The above is for gown collection day and bride's side dinner...and below is for wedding day and dinner preparation.

Just Fruits...

Attempted to make a cake out of fruits for my dad's birthday....actually, there's no cake...just fruits!



But the wordings in m&m's chocolate failed miserably. Melted blue liquid...*sigh* Shall not use coloured sugar coated chocolates again....

Yummy Cupcakes

I have no baking utensils. BUT, i made do with whatever I have...NO, I did not bake the cupcakes...I have no time for that. Bought the cupcakes at only RM2 for 10 pcs (good deal eh...they also taste GREAT!) I made the icing tho....

Buttercream icing
150gms of margarine (did not use butter because my sis is allergic to milk)
150gms of sugar (used the coarse type...the only type I have at home)
*did not exactly measure these but estimated*
2 pcs of lime
A tiny drop of red colouring
Love letters (from our bunch of snacks)

Creamed the margarine until fluffy white using only a spoon and a metal bowl. Then added in sugar and stir till sugar is not so coarse anymore....my hand aches from the continuous half hour stirring....*sweats* But, the cream still tasted crunchy....Then stirred in the lime juice for some flavouring...was supposed to be for our maggi goreng...*hish*

And finally piped out using plastic and magazine paper....tore out from hon's iproperty.com...he hasn't read it yet...hehe...besides, it's outdated...

Piping failed miserably...ended up using spoon to smooth over the cupcakes instead : )

Beauty Blog...

Girls are vain...emm...i mean ladies are vain...we all want to be beautiful! This interesting blog features a list of items tested by this blogger in her quest to being a pretty. I want her stuffs....I Wanna Be Lenglui too....

Langkawi's Wildlife Park...

Can't exactly remember the name of the place but I believe it's the only animal park they have there...was previously a bird park converted into a wildlife park.....but, I guess they still have more birds compared to any other animals...

Entrance fee: RM12/adult I think
Feedings: RM2/packet of about 10ogms with choices of nuts, carrots, cabbage, seeds...etc.
Ratings: 8/10

This is Wendy...as claimed by it's owner...doesn't she look like Rolls-Royce, our neighbour's....




Check out his little fingers....so delicate....





We were allowed to play freely with the animals, some of them in cages of course...enjoyed ourselves very much after a full day drive of beaches and paddy fields...haha...we didn't even get to the waterfall bit...climbed all the way up for Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells) and only realized that there isn't any at all! The waterfall was less than half the distance up but we were already too exhauted from the SUPER steep 15 minutes climb....
