  • One of those..

    ..weekend where I toast bread with soft boiled egg..

    P1010374 

    ..night where I made crepe cake to distress..

    P1010375 

    ..but taste more like pancake instead though it's a stack of 35 thin layer crepe..beats me!

    P1010378 

    Friday night.

    Zee Avi, Marie Claire, a nice shower, and probably some candles to help the small brain of mine to settle in for the weekend. 

    Day-long wellness programme tomorrow, pre-wedding buffet dinner, Sunday reception & gathering at ex-boss's. The eventful side contrast ridiculously with the empty mind somehow, strange.

     

  • Miracle

    It is almost miracle I can keep my hair that long, and as I have also predicted it myself, I cut it short, after this picture I took in Macau that make me look tired & fatigue, I can't be fast enough to get it cut the moment I come back from the trip!

  • Anything else besides eating?

    Stayed a few nights in Hong Kong after my Shenzhen trip.

    Hong Kong, where it appear to be the shopping paradise for girls, but for the past few times I went, I only focus on their skincare & mascara. Somehow I found their garments are expensive, maybe they carried mostly high street brand, which is around "Warehouse"s tag, so it doesn't really attract me much.

    Bought 2 mascara, eye make up remover & body lotion this time from Boujour.

    Stayed at Wanchai this time. While waiting for C & J to reach from Malaysia, me & Larry went to have late lunch at Causeway bay.

    P1010191

    Not to forget trying the Hong Kong version starbucks! They serve Almond Soy latte, nice!

    P1010194

    Dinner at Wong Kok.

    P1010199

    Had favourite Polo Bao as supper. Spent 90 minutes looking for the cafe!!!!!

    P1010200

    Lan Kwai Fong for drinks!

    P1010202

    Minnie long T- bkk, shoulder warmer, shenzhen

    Went up hill the next day, it's a windy morning!

    P1010221

    Beanie & Sweater- Warehouse,  shawl - gift from Em, skinny - bkk & longchamp bag.

    One thing I notice in Hong Kong is that normally I will only see woman above 40 to use longchamp, while in Malaysia, Longchamp is that kind of bag girls will use if they need a lot of storage. No wonder I think some girls are looking at me on the street in HK......(or was I being over sensitive?)

    P1010234

    Avenue of Star, with Jackie Chan!

    Went back at night for the laser show. It was too lousy we left half way through the show.

    Desserts at Hoi Lau Shan!

    P1010238

    Took a bus ride from Central to Stanley market

    P1010240

    P1010241

    P1010242

    Had dinner at Yong Kei for its famous Roasted Goose & Century eggs.

    P1010246

    The eggs turn out to be gorgeous... but the roast goose is just average. Maybe I'm not a goose fans so I can't really tell what makes good goose.

    P1010247

    Macau the next day. To think that we thought going to Macau doesn't need passport, till we saw the custom before we board the ferry! Crap, spent HKD 100 on cab to rush back to hotel for passport, a bit dumb dumb, haha!

    P1010248

    Senado square

    P1010252

    Look so tired with my hair leh, must CUT!P1010253

    where the Macau casino legend begins...

    P1010313

    Dim Sum the next morning at this place which said to be having a michelin-1-star chef, but the only nice dim sum they serve is the crispy pastry char siew bao, which taste like polo bao with char siew. Total dissapointment. PJ definitely serves better dim sum than this.

    P1010317

    End of holiday means back to work.

    Laptop refuse to work with me after I accidentally dropped it hard in Shenzhen. Hopefully by Thursday the IT guy can solve the issue for me, need to clear my email! haha!

    (how will the world be like if we lost internet connection today? Will we become closer, or further?)

     

  • Book shopping!

    Tada!

    P1010328

    So these are the books I bought this round, and total weight for my luggage is standing at 21kg, I think these would have contributed 5kg!

    Brought garments which are too thin for Shenzhen's weather. The forecast is totally out, just like Melbourne, you seriously have to monitor the weather forecast everyday before you leave the door, but cruel enough, for the past 2 weeks where I was checking on the weather, it shows 15c to 19c, where in actual fact it drop to 8c one of the day!!

    And it shocks my colleagues over in China when they see me in a thin jacket (thanks to the forecast, haha!)

    Travelling with Larry this round, and to meet up with Adrian who flew one day earlier to Shenzhen.

    P2060131

    P2060134

    Waiting for shuttle van to take us to SZ from HKIA

    This time I choose to stay at this hotel next to the famous walking street in SZ call Dong Men, and right after we dropped the luggage, we started the makan trip!

    P2060139

    Arabian BBQ, china-nised. They sprinkled alot of pepper onto the skewer while BBQ-ing it, but the meat is tender & juicy, RMB 7 for this. And not sure if it's tradition or to attract customer but all stalls selling Arabian BBQ will dance abit with the music they play somehow.

    P2060145

    P2060158

    Hot pot chicken in pepper gravy. Nothing too special, and it cost RMB 90 per person for this, don't think it worth so much though..

    Everything in SZ now is pepper related, guess this is to keep them warm?

    P2080168

    Had BBQ nearby office area one of the night, this chicken wing is very nicely done!

    P2080171

    Again, pepper gravy, haha! See, told you!

    In the same shop also they sells the most amazing oysters & scallops, both are BBQ-ed and sprinkled with garlic & coriander, seriously good! It was so good I didn't take picture coz both hands are busy with the shells!

    And I was wearing like this...plus a jacket to work....on a 12c, naice!

    P2070163

    bkk chiffon top, gallo pencil skirts, substance heels (which stop to serve me on the very 1st day of my trip!!!!)

    So I have to go shopping on a Monday night at this mall adrian brought call KK mall. It's like Pavillion in KL, but more expensive!!! The pair which looks nice after 50% off is selling for RMB2480 (a price tag of RM1.2K!!)

    Luckily they have H&M, the price tag that is friendlier, at RMB199 a pair, but it hurt my feets a little....aiks! 

    P2070165

    Had 3 times milk tea this round during my 6 nights stay in SZ at this place call Gong Cha. We have it in Garden too! Their milk top oolong is sooooooooooooo nice I drank that everytime!!

    Friday in office, and I was wearing my very own knitted scarf in bright fuschia! Nice? hehe!

    P2100177

    Also bought some casing, stocking, gloves, neck warmer from Dong Men, everything is so cheap it's like you are shopping in One U but everything is 90% off!

    Went over to Zhuzilin to get tea for parents too, and chat with the teochew boss for a bit. Went there 2 years ago to buy tea from him, and has been asking colleague to get tea from him for me since, so this time is a revisit from me. Catch up with him a little, and he gave me the mini tea pot & glass for free!

  • Sultana Cake

    Bought a mixer few weeks back thinking to bake a cake, and I finally got the loaf pan today so here we are, I'm going bake a cake after the fail case I had 10 years ago in Australia with the attempt to make Lemon cake, which turned out way too moist...

    P1300069

    So this is the star!

    P1300070

    Add in water, egg & butter..and mix them together..

    P1300071

    Pour into loaf pan..& send into Oven for 40 minutes.

    P1300072

    Ter-on the top heat in the oven, so the surface is not so appealing, but inside....

    P1300073

    nice nice one!!

    P1300074

    Serve it with Vanilla Ice cream would have make it looking like some cafe desserts!

    Seriously too easy to make, I want to try all other flavour, soon!

     

  • CNY~

    I'm finally feeling it. The shy feeling.
