Have been traveling over the past few weeks. Visited Malaysia - KL in end of Mar and Europe during Apr.

Cooking made easy by Rilakkuma. :)

2011-01-08T13:57:00.001+08:00

Saw this Rilakkuma container from San-X online shop in Japan. I am amazed at what a simple container can do. The hole at the right corner of the container allows the user to measure the amount of pasta needed for cooking. There is also a indicator to tell the user how much water is needed for cooking the pasta. Another design on the left of the container to allow the draining of the water after

Reflection

2010-11-08T08:35:00.000+08:00

Disclaimer: This post may be out of topic with my other blog posts. It is just that I feel very emotional over something that happened and I want to find a channel to release all those emotions. A lot of things happened the two weeks. It all started from an unexpected call from "MP" that I first contacted more than one year ago. It came at a time when I am making a decision to leave the place

Pho Hoa - Vietnamese dining at Suntec City

2010-11-02T07:43:00.000+08:00

Pho Hoa is actually a franchise restaurant from the United States. I remember seeing an outlet in Holland Village, but I don't know if it is still there as I have not been there in a long time. We dined at Suntec City, and we had eaten here a few times before. We ordered two dishes. First up was the spring roll. The skin is like one big piece of kuay tiao, wrapping up various vegetables. You can

Edible chocolate deco

2010-10-30T18:54:00.000+08:00

Really admire Japanese and their ability to create such cuteness. Saw these on Meiji website. So cute and they are made of chocolate and are edible. It is quite creative of the Japanese. It is just like an edible greeting card for you to put whatever message you like. I have a hard time trying to read the instruction on the Meiji website on how to make the "glue" to be use to "stick" the

いらっしゃいませ！Today, Z and I decided to have dinner out instead of at home, as we were both pretty depressed over things that cope up at work and needed some sweet stuff to cheer us up lol. So we decided to have dinner at MOF at Raffles City. Though we reached there around 6pm, the place was already packed with customers. We ordered two dessert items and a bento. The first dessert served up was this

My conquest for the past 2 weeks

2010-10-28T07:59:00.000+08:00

A lot of new dolls to buy these few weeks, just an update on what I have bought: No new addition to the Blythe population to my collection. I did not get myself new dolls from the autumn sales at Junie Moon online site though there is a 20% discount on some dolls. I also did not buy CWC Exclusive Middie Blythe - Macaron Q-Tea party mainly due to her price. I hope I would not regret this

Dinner at Fish & Co.

2010-10-22T21:00:00.000+08:00

We had tried lunch at Fish & Co. So it was time to try dinner. If you have a citibank credit card, you can choose either two drinks or a garden salad. We chose the garden since they do provide iced water. First to arrive was the garden salad. It comes with a sprinkling of deep fried anchovies aka ikan bilis and garlic, with a splash of mayonnaise. The crunchiness of the anchovies work well with
