A Family Outing

Another wonderful day has arrived! Er..night?? LOL. Finally I went out with my family today (been stuck at home since Chinese New Year). It was fun. Well, except the fact once we stepped out of the house, we started to spend money lol. haha..

My mum bought me a bracelet today. It looks nice coz' the price is nice too? hehe.. (shhh...the bracelet costs RM70!!). We had our lunch at McDonald's. I ordered a Happy Meal for my lil' brother and a normal lunch set for me. Yes, I just had a fast food today. I guess I just 'slightly' broke my resolution lol.

 Our lunch!

 My mum and lil' bro. ^_^

After lunch, we move on to do some window-shopping. Then I spotted some cutie pyjamas which come in sets. And yes, if you guessed it already, I did buy 2 sets of the pyjamas. Again, money is spent by me lol. We also spotted this Magnolia Fruity Sherbet which I thought is so cool. We bought Melon (honeydew) flavor one.

Look, how soft the texture is.

My review: A little too sweet for me. But still yummy!

Lunar Dragon Year

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year!! Wishing everyone have a prosperous Dragon year ahead and be blessed by good health and success.

Like I mentioned just now, today is Chinese New Year. My family didn't go anywhere. Just stayed at home the whole day. Number one, my parents claimed that they're tired so they wanted to rest. Number two, everybody including me wanted to just chill out at home (of course, enjoying those New Year cookies and drinks). Since I stayed home the whole day, I didn't get much ang pao (red packets). T_T

Anyway, I still enjoy my Lunar New Year like always except the fact that my elder brother is not with us this year (he's still in Bali). We felt like something is missing without his presence. >.< Like years before, we always started our New Year with a Lunar meal together. The meal is special because it was filled with warmth, happiness and love. It may sounds cliché, but it is the truth. If we could have a happy family together, what else could we ask for? ^_^

Fried scallops with mushrooms and broccoli. 

wu xiang rou.

I forgotten to snap the dishes pictures until when we almost finished eating lol. So only two dishes left. Actually, we still have three other dishes. T_T

Next is a sneak peak to my bed. Very beautiful new bed sheet. And it's pink colour! With cute cartoon print lol. Love the bed sheet!! ^.^ Yes, my bed is King-sized bed. Nice and comfy. haha..

I know right? It's cute. ^^

Languages of Flowers

I mentioned my mum's favourite flower (sunflower) in my earlier post. So now, it's my turn to express my love for some of my favourite flowers. I've never received bouquet of flowers from my family or my friends before, but if you send me like a bouquet of white daisies, you totally hit the jackpot lol. >_< Unlike my mother, I personally prefer white colour flowers, like white daisies, white lilies, white roses, etc. Why I love white colour flowers? It's because they look so pure, elegant and feminine. I'm not saying I dislike other colourful flowers. I equally love all of them but white colour flowers are still my bias. ^_^

I know each of the flowers represents something. I think it's called the language of flowers or floriography. I studied a little of these things and was amazed (still amazed now) by their significance! Of course the classic red roses are always loved by every ladies in the world including me! Imagine a guy gives you (lady) a bouquet of red roses. Aww..how romantic it is? Knowing that red roses have a very deep meaning, true love. ^.^

Well, I think that's it. I just can say I LOVE flowers so much that I will practically stuck looking at flowers at every flower shops that I encountered. haha..just kidding. But seriously lol.

Flower Margarine Cookies

As much as I know margarine is fattening (although not so much compared to butter), I still love my mum's Flower Margarine Cookies. It tastes delicious with smooth texture. And yes, smells good too. The flower shape of each cookies makes it looks even beautiful. It always reminds me of sunflower, my mum's favourite flower. She said sunflower gives out a joy and happy mood, which I agree. ^.^

Love this flower-like cookies.

Pretty and tastes good.

Mummy's Pineapple Tarts

Yes, like what the title told you, it's pineapple tarts for today. I just love pineapple tarts. Okay, I admit I love every cookies that my mum made. haha.. I helped my mum wrapping the pineapple tarts. It's not an easy job. If I'm not careful enough, the whole tart will mess up with pineapple jam oozing out from the dough.

 My mum's handwork.

 My own handwork. ^^

 My lil' bro handwork. Er..cute?

Glazed with egg yolk.

Also glazed with egg yolk.

Freshly baked Mummy's Pineapple Tarts! Anyone?

Mouth-watering..

I ate a few of the pineapple tarts just now. It taste so heavenly and makes me crave for some more. Bad bad.. I need to watch out on my weight now! Lol. o_O

Chocolate Chips Cookies

Our home little bakery produced some homemade chocolate chips cookies. We made them small-shape that they are of a bite size. They look so cute. As usual, the taste is superb. It was like, who can resist the temptation to have a bite out of the cookies? I knew I can't. haha.. Totally LOVE them. ^_^

 Very delicious!!

Moon Cheese Cookies

My mum and I baked cheese cookies today. Cheese is AWESOME to begin at. It smells nice and even tastes good. I LOVE cheese but my body HATE it. haha.. I can't even resist the wonderful aroma coming from the oven. So I tried the cookies just now, and they taste delicious! ^_^ I smell like cheese right now lol.

 Before being baked in the oven.

 Freshly baked.

Om..nom nom.. Yummy!!

Seaweed Shreds and Arrowhead Chips

Since Chinese New Year will arrive in a week time, my family already started to prepare for the big day. One thing you never forget is New Year's cookies. So this year, my mum and I decided to bake a few types of cookies. They will be delicious. ^.^ Yes, you heard it right. It's "will", because we just started today and it's not even cookies. I suppose tomorrow only we get started with cookies.

Today, we made seaweed shreds. It's super easy. We just need some popiah skins and some seaweeds. Just sandwich a piece of seaweed in between two pieces of popiah skins. Then, secure the seaweed with some eggs or liquid starch. Then, cut them into strips. Obviously, the last step is to fry them. Easy, huh?

Crispy and tasty.

Another popular snack eaten during Chinese New Year is fried arrowhead chips. I myself enjoy this snack as much as other Chinese do. They actually taste quite unique. But I can assure you; once you try it, you will love it too. ^^

Were made 5 days ago and put in the container.

P/s: I fished some out just to take this pic lol.

MBLAQ's 4th mini album, 100%Ver.

Hello everyone! I just want to quickly blog about my favourite korean boy band, MBLAQ. Yes, I am an A+ (read as A Plus). A+ is the official fan club for MBLAQ. You might ask, why A+? Well, it is because all the members have the same blood type A. I don't remember when exactly I started to be obsessed with this group, but I think it was 2 years ago. I saw Lee Joon in a south korean variety show and GOSH!!...I was like, he is so so HOT! Yeah, that's me back then. Since I love him so much, I started finding his information on the web like what a fan always do. That was when I realised he is a member of MBLAQ. Even though now I equally like all the other members of MBLAQ, I'm still kind of Lee Joon biased fan. haha..

After that, I started listening to their songs and guess what? Yeah, I totally LOVE them. Their voices are so good. ^_^ Oops, I forgot to mention the members' names. Every group got a leader right? So in MBLAQ, Seungho is the leader. The rest of the members are G.O (previously a member of TYKEYS), Lee Joon, Cheondung (a.k.a. Thunder) and Mir (maknae).

Okay, let's get back to the topic of the day. MBLAQ released their 4th mini album "100% Ver." today. And as an A+, I must listen to their new songs of course! I listened to "It's War" and watched the music video. What can I say? As always, Lee Joon is so gorgeous and HOT!! haha.. Pardon me for being a Lee Joon biased fan, I can't help it. ^.^ Mir's rap is so sexy while Thunder's acting is pretty good actually. On the other hand, G.O and Seungho's vocals are equally good. Anyway, "It's War" is definitely a great song and this makes me even more adore MBLAQ.

MBLAQ "It's War"

Another new song of theirs is "Scribble". Believe me, this song is also very good. It's rhythm is slower and soothing if I must say. LOVE LOVE LOVE MBLAQ!! ^.^

MBLAQ "Scribble"

My 2012 Life Resolution

Hey guys! It's officially the brand new year now. I, hereby, wish all of you a very wonderful Happy New Year!! I am so excited for the new year and I'm all ready to build beautiful memories for my loved ones and of course for myself too. ^_^

With the arrival of 2012, there would be many among us who would have started to make new year resolutions for themselves. New Year is always something which gives you hope and freshness. You tend to have new energies. It is a fact that each individual differs from the other and so are the new year resolutions. I will start with my new year resolutions then.

BE TIDY

Mum always joke that nobody will want me because of my messy habits. I make messes wherever I go. For example; after I sleep, I don't fold my own blanket. When it comes to house chores, I am so lazy. I shall try to be more domestic by being a tidier person.

PROTECTING MY HANDS

Whenever I do chores such as cleaning or doing the dishes, I'm always like "Sssh rubber gloves, they only slow me down", but these days my hands seem to feel drier than usual. I think it is thanks to the weather and my bad habits. I will apply lotion on my hands daily.

EAT LESS CHOCOLATE

Like most of the girls in this world, I LOVE chocolates. Every time I eat chocolates, I feel so happy like I own the world. But chocolate is bad for my body, especially when it makes me fat. I envy those people who doesn't even gain a pound after all the chocolates that they had. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them lol. Chocolates also generates pimples. So for my own good sake, I definitely must realise this resolution.

SHED EXCESS BODY WEIGHT

Getting rid of excessive weight might be a new year resolution for many of us, but it is a very important one. Who doesn't want to appear healthy and looks good? For this, we need to burn off our extra fats. I will exercise more and uses the home sauna regularly.

SLEEP EARLY AND WAKE UP EARLY

I sleep at crazy o'clock hours and wake up at stupid o'clock hours. I sometimes wake up in the afternoon and half of my day is already gone. I would then try to make up for it by staying up till late. I will learn to manage my time better so I get enough sleep.

STAY HAPPY

Most of people think that childhood is the period of life when one can be really happy. I beg to differ. What actually happens is that as we grow up, we tend to take up many responsibilities and forget to be happy. Responsibilities are there to be taken care of, but one should always have time for himself and cherish the moments of life. For me, thinking optimistically is also important towards being a happy person. Positive is always good. With these, I think I will be getting nearer to be a happier person.

QUIT ALCOHOL

Well, I don't think I'm addicted to alcohol but if you count Shandy as an alcoholic beverage, then it's a different matter. I like to drink Shandy. Shandy just tastes so good. ^.^ Okay, I will cut down Shandy and fizzy drinks as well.

REDUCE JUNK/FAST FOOD INTAKE

Like many youngsters, I enjoy eating junk food and fast food. I'm always tempted by potato chips, fries, ramen, burgers, pizza, etc. I know right? I must reduce these kind of unhealthy food. I hope I will be stronger and not easily tempted the next time I saw them lol.

BE MORE CONSCIOUS

I don't know why, but I'm always uninterested with the world's ongoing issues. I don't like reading newspaper or watching the news. The only thing that I'm always curious about is everything regarding South Korean idols or stars. In other words, if you ask me to say out who is who in a popular idol group, I'll be able to do it. I guess I need to be more realistic now. I'll start from reading the newspaper today.
