Jason's Birthday

Lovely night out with the gang with plenty of drinks and games, in celebration of Jason's birthday on 23rd May! Jason, Iv, Cel, Jov, Ed, Ken and wifey, Leng. It's my first time meeting Leng, however we hit it off very well. =) Then I realized both of us are leos. Hee! Trac meant to join but somehow got cropped up with stuff. Very happy to see all of them. =D Everyone is busy and I'm very glad we can all come together year after year to celebrate each other's birthday. It will be my wish that we can all stay as close knitted no matter we're at which life stage, single/married/with kids etc. Kudos to mummies like Cel and Jov. Appreciate their hubbies' kind understanding too. =D

Oh Jov left slightly earlier before we started to take pictures. Nevermind, next time! =D

Had fun ktv-ing too at the BQ pubs too. =D

Jason and Iv were just back from Taiwan not long ago.

Key pouch from Jason. Did I mention before I love personlized gifts? =D



At first I almost fainted when Iv tossed me this in public. I thought he bought me sanitary napkin! ZzZzzZ After that then realized it's marshmallows. Haha. I like blueberry. =)

Thanks guys!!

SHESHOPS.COM & Kaori's Creations & Lookbooks!

Lately, I've been having lots of fun creating lookbooks at sheshops.com

It strucked me as a very atas kind of shopping community or rather, shopping paradise, because not only designer labels and exclusive limited editions items are being sold there, you get to enjoy all the fun creating lookbooks using different items from everyone's closets. From there, you get to know more like-minded individuals, with different sense of styles as well as get inspirations from all the lookbooks being posted up. You can socialize, drop comments on their walls etc. =)

Most of the items are for sale. You can simply shop in the community or click on the items on any lookbooks and get directed to the link immediately. It's so easy.

I got to know some very nice friends too! They're so friendly, helpful and nice. =) There are contests held regularly as well. Too bad I didnt really catch the instructions of the Canon IXUS camera contest on the homepage else I might just be one of the 3 lucky winners who won the Canon IXUS cameras with their winning lookbooks. =(

I have my own "Closet" too! Do add me!!! View my lookbook too! Hee!

Below are a few lookbooks which I've created with Kaori's Creations fine jewellery. =P

Carnelian Crush Lady

Orange is such a vibrant and cheery colour!
It's bright, and yet doesnt come as loud as siren red.
Toss some orange in your look, it'll definitely spice up your look as well as your day!

Does it reminds you of a Wood Nymph Fairy...prancing around in the Spring Woods? =)
Spring Wood earrings, made of dragonfly charms and lime green smooth chalcedony heart briolettes certainly lends joy to a wonderful day out in the sun! =)

Homemade Osmanthus Jelly & Wonderful Custard buns

*Yawnz* I dont think I have the time to transfer any old entries from the old blog at all from wordpress. The buzzing weekend had passed in a breeze. I still have quite a number of pictures pending as well as events to blog. And I'm so freaking tired! Will blog about the past weekend's events soon.

Tonight is the first night that dearie is not sleeping beside me ever since we shifted to our own house. I'm glad Vickki is around to accompany me. But wow...it's simply a different feeling when the house is empty because hubby is out at work OR because he's simply not in the country for a few days. The feeling is different.... No wonder Hui said she felt unbearable when her hubby was overseas at work for months, facing an empty house. I bet I cant even stand few weeks. The only consolation is perhaps I can have the whole bed to myself and I can sing to my heart's content anytime. Muahahaha~

Sharing a few interesting and yummy stuff with you all. =)

Yummy home-made Osmanthus Jelly! =D

Check out my pretty tissue box! Hee! Bought from a stall at Toa Payoh Central at $9. Suits my pretty side table to a T isnt it? =D

I'm a lover of osmanthus in terms of smell and taste but it's not readily available in Singapore. I've tried finding in local chinese shops like Fu Hua but nobody has it. Therefore imagine my glee when I saw a stall selling it at Sembawang, Sun Plaza level 1.

Arkon, Coral Seaweed Jelly (Product of Taiwan)

They're other flavours too. And the nice lady boss even passed me an A4 size paper with all it's benefits. Heard there's plenty of minerals, collagen, etc in it. I dont really care, haha, most importantly must be nice to eat. =P It's 100% vegetarian too by the way.

It's super easy to make. This is the smaller pack priced at $13(pretty pricey hor) and it has 9 cubes inside. Each cube can make 2.5 bowls like the one above.

Simply boil 1 cube with 500ml(normal mineral water bottle) of water till it totally dissolves. Let it cool for few minutes before pouring into bowls or moulds which you deem fit.
Chill in fridge(not freezer) for a couple of hours and you're done! The amazing thing is, even if you chilled it for more than a day, the texture stays the same and will not harden. Ahh...of course I cant guarantee the same if you keep it inside your fridge for 30 days la.

Garnish with longans if you want. =D But personally feel they taste better alone! The texture is really wonderful and the level of sweetness suits me just right. Chilled desserts like these are great for hot days! =D

I use a frying pan of diameter 30cm to boil at medium fire over 5-10minutes(so that it's faster). Do note if you put lesser water than 500ml or boil them longer than needed, the jelly will be firmer and sweeter. You can add more water if you prefer them to be less sweet and softer.

Custard Buns

*Updated* Time to time, I went back to buy and the size of the buns were like shrinking everytime I went back. Like from a C cup to B cup and recently I went back to buy and I'm so disgusted that the size of them had shrink to smaller than an A cup. It's that pathetic and the price is the same, which easily made it like a triple in price. I was so appalled that I voiced it out why the drastic shink in size but was answered back in attitude, "Where got?!?!" So annoyed!! Business became better but drop so much in quality!! Had decided to omit the address of the shop as well as boycott!! Humph!!

This is my love. I can eat 2 everyday for consecutive 3 days and dont feel sick at all. =)
Therefore dearie usually buy in dozens as we both love it very much. Generous fillings most of the time, not too sweet too! Priced at $1.50 each and every 5 free 1 after 9pm. Warning though, sometimes they closed shop at 9pm. Best served chilled!

Actually I saw similar looking custard buns at The Icing Room at Jurong Point. They're priced slightly cheaper when you buy in pairs but I'm not sure they taste the same. Will try soon.

Actually posting pictures at blogger also posed some problems. I realised when I upload them, they simply appear far smaller than they should, despite having chosen the biggest size. I have to upload them at Flickr first. But...I think at least the pictures are sharper than those in wordpress. =) Anyway, like my new blog layout? =) Will add more stuff in time. =P

Hi blogger(again)

Oh yes. Finally I had enough of wordpress blur pictures that I've once again, decided to change a blogging platform. I cant possibly let my crisp pictures by my precious Lumix put to waste, right?
I did online research about pictures appearing blurry though. However, I can only find solutions(which work) for blogger but not for wordpress. Else, they're far too troublesome or complicated for an IT idiot like me to comprehend. Somehow, blogger entries can be exported to wordpress but it's very difficult for the vice versa. So..see how...perhaps I'll shift few entries day by day if I have the time...or I'll just transfer the more significant entries(like events etc)

Okie. Hear from me soon. Gotta tweak a new blog layout, design and everything. I like this part though. Heez.
