HELLO!

I changed my mind. I'm gonna give out the angela chang tickets all in this entry instead of one per day. Haha. Say yay. (scroll to end of entry if you are interested)


Gotta love my new netbook's battery life. Im so used to having my battery drop 25% within 15 minutes that im so surprised that my new HP Mini only dropped 9%! (anyway my percentage is agar-agar one, not accurate one. haha)

Ooops, I havent took any pics of it yet. Forgot!


Anyway, i was eating breakfast with SX in the morning as usual when he suddenly say he needs to go to the washroom. After awhile, he asked me to go downstairs, and there he was, waiting for me, half body behind a mcdonalds big signboard. I then realised that he sure is got surprise one.

A BIG CAREBEAR!!!!
He remembered that i always go gaga over carebears in shops.


Hugged the bear around town that day. So paisei. But it was so comfortable when we watched a movie later on! Like bring pillow out lydat.



Watched PokerKing. I love hongkong movies.



I counted and realise i have 25 soft toys on my bed, including 2 which are super extra large. I think they take up around half the bed lor! No wonder i always no place to roll around when i sleep at night. To counter this, sometimes i hug a couple of bears, sometimes i push some off my bed, and some i lie on top of them. Lol.




A mail arrived at my home a week back. Sally Hansen Nail Polish! They sent me some to try out :)

Just got off the phone with sx.

*INSERTS BIGSMILE HERE*

I try not to be too over flamboyant with what i feel towards him because i dont wanna come across as showy, but i sort of miss him :

I really love it when he's all smallboy-ish and cute ♥ hee.





That night with the breeze in our faces,
as we see cars disappearing behind us,
i fell double in love.
BENTO #9

Ingredients needed:
Sushi rice (half a cup)
One egg

One slice of chicken patty
One or two hotdogs
Carrot

This one is easy. Im sure you can do it as well!



1) Add a pinch of salt into the rice water, if not it'll be tasteless. After the rice cooker switched to warm mode, you may scoop rice into a ricemould and cover it (make sure you squeeze enough rice, so that it wont be loose). I used a heartshape mould for this and i usually keep the rice inside the mould until i finish everything else, as i want the rice to stick together firmly.

2) Cut the chicken patty into small pieces, and then fry them with little oil. After it turns golden brown, put them into a cupcake holder like i did.



3) Fry a sunny side up. Squeeze it into the cupcake holder. I was so pleased with myself for frying an egg without bursting the yolk area. Haha.

4) Cut the hotdogs into pieces and then fry them. It is usually easier to cut them when they are hard and frozen than when they are hot and soft.


5) After this you can arrange the items in the lunch box. Use carrots and a veggie cutter to make decorations. I used sesame seeds and grass dividers as well.

Easy right?!!












BENTO #10

I was lazy to mould the rice, and i was using normal rice for this bento. I pushed it to a square, and then fried an egg, folded it into a square, and placed it on top of the rice.

Afterwards, i boiled a couple of meatballs, afew slices of meat and some veggie with the soup mum made (ok i cheated. i dont know how to make soup so i use my mum's soup. hahaha)

The fried thingy below just two pieces of marinated minced meat (marinated with salt, soya sauce, pepper, and black sauce)

Decorated with grass dividers and a flag!









BENTO #11

This is my UGLIEST BENTO EVER.

Haha, i did this in like 10 minutes i think? Haha. I took out leftover wanton from the fridge, reheated them, fried a slice of hotdog (it's behind the dog divider in this picture haha) ((okay i never fry it i microwaved it.. but then i learnt that you cannot microwave a frozen uncooked hotdog because it will taste horrible. haha)). I reheated and moulded leftover sushi rice, then added a flower carrot on top and threw small pieces of carrot all around ( to add colour but apparently it didn't do its job). And then i added grass dividers to make it look more like a specially made bento than an anyhow do one. haha.


HEN NAN KAN lor.

I pity sis, who ate everything (while complaining.)
HAHA.

Met up with Janelle and Gillian for movie!
Watched My Sister's Keeper.

I LOVED IT.
It made me cry continuously scenes after scenes. It's such a touching and meaningful show! You all should really go catch it.

Before the movie i went to Milly's to take out my acryllic nails while janelle did her pedicure.







Spectacles~ I took out all my hair extensions already! Many people commented that i look better without them but i still miss long hair :( Look at the picture, my hair so short!


Gillian.


SX brought me home :) Dropped by mcdonalds for some mcwings first!




The next day i met up with Xiaoting at FarEast.







Met up with Shuana afterwards for a Skecher's opening event at Ion. By2 was guests and they did some performances. Videoed it down. I'll write more about it on another entry :)

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

i smsed my sister one morning, asking her:
"Hey, what is iris' number?"

(i wanted to get the 'iris' bus info's number so that i can find out how long more my bus39 is going to come because me and sx have been waiting for it for 20 mins and he pekchek-ing already. haha)


The number replied:
"Good question but i have no idea"


(then i realised that i send wrong number.)
For some reason i found his/her reply funny. Haha.



Met up with Amanda for movie.
Watched "TALENTIME"
I felt that the show was abit too draggy at times, but i guess that's the director's style: to show a point by using a scene instead of just saying it out directly.

No wonder the movie is 2 hours.
Head felt heavy after i left the theatre. Haha but then i like the parts towards the ending. The storyline is cruel and true, although the languages and cultures used might not be very relevant to us because the scenes took place in malaysia.

Had crystal jade eggtarts after the movie. Very nice! I dont usually like to eat eggtarts cos once upon a time i had eggtarts almost everyday until i got scared of it, but this one is really sweet :)




Went over to Novena to eat XinWang! It's a new branch, heh. Ate my favourite again while amanda ate her favourite toast.









Amanda had almost no makeup on and i was in my dress-down state again. Not much camwhoring then!




Alright, my playfish games download just finished! Gonna play it now. Bye!

Never celebrate halloween this year!

I forgot about it, thought that still got afew more weeks, then i went to allocate work on the day itself. lol. Stupid sia.

Here's are some neoprint pictures me and sx took last time. Usually people look better in neoprints but dont know why sx look bad in neoprints. Haha.

(i dropped and lost a bunch of neoprints. tsk)

Woah, lack of sleep for the past few days.
Have been busy! Always sleep after midnight and wake up damn early.

I've got alot more pictures from my camera to be blogged! But i need to finish some school project stuffs first before i can sit down properly and blog a proper post! For now, it's gonna be advertorials, bento entries, and maybe some short updates. Gosh, can't wait to finish schooling and then i'll take up this particular course that im interested in. Damn expensive, $10,000 leh =( Let you all know what the course is when i successfully save enough for the course okay!

I've cleared payment for my new netbook and im so excited. Gonna show you people when it arrives after 3 weeks alright?
:)

And so after the payment, im now broke.
More advertorials please. Haha.

(for those who are gonna say my blog is flooded with advertorials recently, shutup unless you want to pay for my monthly expenses. This is my ONLY source of $ for daily needs because i've not been as active in events already. I dont take pocket money like you do, and i give my working salary to my family for groceries, etc. If i dont have advertorials, i'll starve. And when i starve, this blog will die. And so, me accepting blogshop advertorials is NECESSARY. well, unless you want to pay me to NOT write adverts. I'd gladly do so. )

Saycheezels has been in the scene for a longgggggggg time, and it's great that they are still here!




They'll also be launching their self-manufactured designs in November. Can you wait? I can't! It's just in time for xmas and the new year too!

There'll be more self manufactured pieces in 2010. That is definitely good news for their fans because who doesn't like exclusive clothings? i'm really glad that more and more blogshops are venturing into designing and manufacturing their own apparels. Soon, the saying that blogshops selling the same things would be a thing of the past.




There's a promotion for all bloggers

SCIENCE CENTRE

yes i know. so random!
ya, on a random afternoon, me and sx went to the science centre. haha.

It's soooooooooo far away.
I live in pasir ris and it is at jurong, the other side of the island.

Didn't really take much pictures, but i did have fun.

At the entrance was this real-looking dinosaur, hovering above us with occasional growling sounds and movement. Sx acted scared like a small boy and hid behind me. So cute =P





This illusion table was always my favourite part of the science centre. I remember being awed with curiousity when i saw it for the first time when i was young. I was shocked how come my father's body gone. Lol. But then i realised the trick was in the mirrors that reflects the floor.

"if you critisize me, my head is gonna appear on your fruit platter...."



We stared at these chicks for a damn long time. It was the hatching day and i wanted to see how the chick pokes its way out of the egg. I also wanted to see the whole sequence. Sadly, we stared and stared but none wanted to poke out :( Some of the baby chicks are fat and fluffy, while some are still wet and weak. Very interesting to observe their actions!



Cute :)



Ewww! This is like a nightmare come true.


Placed sx behind this mirror that made him fatty. Laughed at him for quite awhile. haha. I think he looked much better when he's not fat.


Mini playhouses! I loved going into these when i was a small girl. At that time, I so wished for mum to buy one to put in our house. Got door got window, so fun!



This is quite fun also.



Damn sad, no more mirrormaze exhibition. That was the ultimate fun! It's a maze where the walls are actually mirrors, so it's super difficult to find your way out cos the mirror tricks you to believing that there's a opening but actually you would be banging the mirror.


Im going to milly's to remove my hair extensions now! I think that my hair is almost the length of hair extensions already, so it's unnecessary to wear them liao! Really have to thank the discovery of hair extensions. I managed to make my hair look longer while it's slowly growing from ugly shoulder length to my current waist length :D

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Seem like alot people prefer my previous blogskin. Now thinking whether want to change back anot. But then i think this blogskin reflects my inner personality and entries more, since im so much nearer to being simple than being sophiscated glam.

How? :(
I wish i know how to make my blogskin alternate between the two headers.
