Little Surprises

Love that the weekend has finally arrived… Well, it’s end of November and December just around the corner and seems like can’t wait to step in. Am not a Christian so have no massive Christmas list of to- do’s, to have’s or try to-do’s…lol. But, am looking forward to dine with my love one this weekend and walking along the street with full of holiday season’s decorations. From mini to huge Christmas trees, Christmas lights along the road side and buildings, from classic elements to handmade and unique pieces, am very sure everything will be inspired me all night long.

Besides that, I wanted to give him something unique that I’ve had bought couple week ago. Not a pre-Christmas gift item of course but I do hope he will like it! I love the wrapping idea, it's so luxurious and such a customized touch to presents! Don't you think it's too pretty to open?

found HER

Yipppeee! I found my dream sandals. Black shade may already be very classic but with an open toe and a zip to fasten made her achieved an edgy and sumptuous look. It's totally very comfort and feminine and only cost me less than $20. What else can we demand on if the shoes just can last for 3 months? But am sure I can pair it with anything and can have it for more than a season!

A crush with BEAN

Here u come, Saturday! I've started daydreaming about all the delicious treats I'll be eating soon and, unfinished soya bean milk to drink along this weekend.

Couple days ago, I found out my ex colleugue (hi vs!) know how to made soya bean. Guess what, we decided to let soya bean to join us in our afternoon gathering. I love it so much since I am not really like to get carton of high preservative soya bean milk in supermarket and usually I only can get it through street stall when I pass by.

My weekend was wonderfull. Because of bean, I get to know Vs's two lovely puppies Keiga and Take, gorgeous pets. Moreover, I packed lot of fashion magazines for spending on a sunday rainy afternoon. Of course, with a glass of soya bean milk.

实兆远的猪油

周末往北走了一趟。去回都是入夜凌晨,没法一瞻适耕庄田野之浩荡,也看不了红土坑的绿意盎然。有一尝当地小吃,买上几瓶辣酱,也总算对此行有个交代。

来到间小面摊,以鲁Lak 闻名。无需去猜测它与历代或当地社会有什么联系,观其字就是鲁面+ Asam Laksa。当然,也有分别卖这两种面食。友人说难得到这一定要尝,看看此摊子离住家不远,要真是搅肚子连走带跑到家料想也不会拉到裤子,就和它拼了!不是出奇的美味,但也不难吃,胜在特别。料你也无法将Asam Laksa 煮到像鲁面的样子,或是鲁面煮得像Asam Laksa 的味道吧!

盼了两天才买到的福州光饼就实实在在是到地品牌。內馅简单,猪油和葱头仔搅碎置入粉团,压平再烘。它的香和脆,秘诀就在那团猪油。小时候白饭加两匙羹猪油,一扒就是两碗。要简单烹煮,杂货店菜市场都可买到的罐头扣肉,烧热锅子直接倒入,想要拌料可放些预先炸香的马铃薯或豆腐皮,再加上些包菜,其它的菜拌猪油一起烹煮都不会脆口,唯有包菜。上桌,肉还未夹上两块,乌黑的猪油汁就少了一半。家人也喜欢将胡椒酱油等酱料腌制好的厚厚生肉片中夹芋头来蒸煮,又或者端出屋后以煤炭炉来蒸烤,两者皆佳,不过却以后者略胜一筹。皆因炭烤味的那份传统根本无法被取代,不过后人的生活与节奏,在逼不得已的情况下就以煤气取而代之。

猪油饼也好,什么芋头扣肉还是猪油饭也罢,吃的是一份回忆,一份温情,一份家的味道,一份道道地地华人社会的味道,一份身为华族子弟们的幸福。

A big thanks to VS

Welcome to the new week! How was your weekend? I've had a great escape to North of Penisular Malaysia. It's supposed to be a beautiful and lovely weekend which is pretty exciting for end of the year. I do love sunshine. Sunny days really makes me excited. I like the smell of the sea especially when warm and comfy wind blowing off up to the sky. I wanto send a big thanks and kiss to one of my dear friends (hi vs!) for sending me a nice and warm message to cheer up my life again the next morning.

Here's what had written in the mail: Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

VS, I know you never expected your mail can create such huge impact on me. Thanks alot my dear, greatly apprecaited!

Panties panties!

Im busy with my closet makeover recently. An organised closet really does make things alot simpler when you have everything right infront of you. I don't have a huge wardrobe and my accessories including shoes and handbags were "parked" in a different place so the variety of closet consider large enought (at this moment, ahaha) for me to place my clothes.

Surprisingly, I found that I've soooooooooo many new panties that I bought earlier before especially when am traveling. Am started to think of, do I addicted in a "panties collection"? Different color and fabric does makes us feel comfy and looks great besides of physical appreance. I started to buy different kind of collections, great colours combination, lovely fabrics and styles of panties after I've had received the first dozen of panties from him years ago. It is same like when you see something classy and chic and detailed with some laces and symbols when you passing by a wardrobe window, where you toes will be headed to?

Front-Zip Platform Sandals

It looks so chic and stunning. Wearing it would surely captivate attention. It’s usual to see them in black since black really brings tough look. I have already seen some of tough-looking footwear designs but I recently found that it’s so interesting and I started to fall in love with it. With a zip to fasten and an open toe, glamour is the best word to describe her. Furthermore, I like the platform so that easily to walk.

I want to get one for myself. Of course not from these brands which the tags in between $700-$990…! I know where to get something glamour and cheap and suit the size of my wallet.

取名。

当某人得知他们的孩子即将诞生,之后所忙的就是想个好的名字。何谓好?古时候做老婆生男孩,顺利顺发添财根本不会显得单调。如一连几胎都生女,其中一个女儿就名为“帯娣”,和弟同音,用意明显。等生到第六第九胎的时候,什么莲娣梅凤兰用尽,“妹”字给了第六的,刚好老爸打麻将捡个九索大吃三家的话,高兴之余认为孩子脚头好,名字还算unisex,也不管呱呱落地了没,九索的名字就这样与那孩子衔接。

来到这个时代,取个好名更是都市人所讲究的话题。文学修养深厚的家庭,长辈就视此为艰巨任务还时不时都翻字词典讨论。说到讲究,现在社会有求必应的,吃这门饭的人也不少。拿孩子的时晨八字配上五行,厚厚的红包就换得了盖世雄伟的名字。

都市人,养人育人是责任,不过如今却演变成如买屋买车视能力而为了。不过,十个家庭一半以上都养宠物。背后的目的因人而异。无论是从宠物店买回,路边捡走,回到家洗净喂饱,就是谈论“取名”。给宠物取名,是很大的学问,那些讲究生活的,更是相信名字取不好,一路衰到老,衰的当然不是狗,是它的主人。华人家,狗的名字也讲究六六大顺,你们所讨论的那只旺财不是我家的那只;你家的也叫小黄么?撞名比去ball撞衫更屡见不鲜。有些先生小姐失恋,狗名就更容易取了,十之八九都源自于忘情女负心汉。当你八卦问为什么你家的狗名好象是曾相识?他们可能会答你:拿来当狗名,便宜他们了!

中文字,妙的就是不止可以表意,还可谐音,所以取名这门功夫,人人都使计好让生活更增添趣味。家里多了两条小菜狗。一个蒙猪眼白毛加几挞黑团,另个脸如沙皮狗全身巧克色。在想,白的叫“蒙猪”也不错,好在不用上学,目前不用以后就很难说,不让然第一堂课叫写自己的名字,老师都不愿改它的簿子。不过老爸有更贴切的名字办--“猪股”。此乃客家方言也与“蒙猪”同义,不过感觉上就趣味得多。巧克色那只,老爸命名MILO。好名!毫无意义,胜在够经济效益之余,好听又易记。

Yellow day

A New month! But this great year end season was welcomed by A yellow day…pfff…! My grandma always telling me when I was a child, your bed will get floated in a yellow day. Is a raining season in the Ninth God Festival, a grand celebration for Chinese society . Done all the washing and cleaning, the best thing to do now is lying on my comfy coach and spend the rest afternoon with the latest fashion magazine and a glass of honey of course lol.
