I go my way,I speak my mind

The hidden heart cake

2012-02-19T09:00:00.002+08:00

I tweeted this a few days before Valentine's Day,

" No chocolates and flowers please. #ValentinesDay"

and guess what,

my boy bought me both!

I told Mr S I don't fancy him buying me flowers because it's a waste of money(I prefer practical things :P), but of course, it's not exactly a bad thing to receive flowers from the person you love, no? Thank you dear if you're reading this.

So I concluded that for the next V-Day, he only needs to buy me a stalk of rose and I'm a happy girl. It's pretty sad to see the flowers wilt and there's nothing you can do to save them!

From him

My baby's artwork

Chocs, always my favourite.

It was my bad that I said chocolates and roses during V-Day are boring. Well, it is but I still appreciate gifts. After all, everyone claimed that what's V-Day without chocs and roses right?

From her

Heart Cake made with love for my valentine

Surprise! Here's the hidden heart!

My bouquet of flowers

What I Wore

Hot pink dress [H&M]

Tassle belt [BKK]

Charmed bracelet [T.Sabo]

Wristlet [Coach]
Nude heels [STUDIOTangs]

Knotted headband [Gift]
A bouquet of rose [From my love!]

Another surprise for the loverboy:

Heart-shaped patties

Chicky.PiggyMooey

Ta-dahhh!

Frankly speaking, both of us have the same thoughts for V-Day. We felt that anniversaries and birthdays are far more important because as clichéd as it may seem, everyday is Valentine's Day.

To conclude our story for the fourth V-Day celebration, everything begins with an element of surprise, unpredictability and adventure. Here's ours so far.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Food galore

2012-02-17T02:49:00.001+08:00

What I've noticed so far is most people who love to cook or bake will certainly have a creative side in them. Why? Because it's the elements of creativity in oneself that takes cooking and baking to a whole new level.

Here are some of my favourites, and believe me, it's easier than you think!

Birthday Bento

Durian cream puffs

Pumpkin bread

Tricolori pasta with ham, bacon and shrimps

I still tell this to people around me,

"Everyone can cook!"

Success

2012-02-02T15:41:00.001+08:00

'Reaching the top of the tree' in one's chosen occupation is the usual standard by which success in life is measured. To me, the word 'success' is incredibly subjective. What seems to be a great success for some may be a dramatic disappointment for others or vice versa.

Certain people are born into positions which already confer affluence and power but generally, most of us have to work hard to achieve success. Perhaps the fundamental way to achieve it is first to be sure of what you want to do with life and then to be sure that you are capable of doing it. I have always liked to say this:

"If you want something badly, you'll get it"

and this has been my mantra ever since I found the true meaning behind the magical word in life: Success

One thing for sure, what keeps me standing firm on my own depends crucially on good personal relationships both within and outside the family and the social network. Also, I am strongly motivated by these three words; 'Challenge.Drive.Passion'. Somehow, it leads to happiness and self-fulfilment.

Oprah Winfrey once quoted:

"The key to realising a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning."

I'm 23. I still have a long way to go.

A Sweet Escape

2012-01-18T17:20:00.004+08:00

A Birthday Fit for The Special Boy

2011-12-17T15:48:00.003+08:00

Happy Birthday to you, the best boyfriend a girl can have!

I hope you had a memorable 22nd birthday with those surprises!

Sun-kissed

2011-12-13T23:04:00.009+08:00

I can foresee that I'll be laying by the powdery soft white sandy beach, wearing a bikini, reading the favourite storybook while leisurely sipping juice.....and of course, the boy laying beside me and having him to kiss me for no reason...

Ahhhhh......what a highly-anticipated vacation!

Halloween 2011

2011-12-06T20:04:00.005+08:00

Just in case my blog is starting to grow spiderwebs, I'll just post a few backdated photos during Halloween 2011 at Zouk.

Like a BOSS in the kitchen

2011-11-29T15:07:00.005+08:00

As much as I'm busy with studies and work, that did not deter me from posting on my personal blog though very occasionally. I have been casting magic in the kitchen for a couple of times few weeks back and these are the simple 'creations' made with love. :) :)

Fruit flan cake for my brother's birthday!

Twas my first attempt, though not baked to perfection but I was delighted to see the fairly good outcome.Yay!

Brekkie for la familia

Sushi for Sara Khong, my gorgeous sista!

Coleslaw for picnic with the girls!

More sushi!

I believe that my inner guru exists a long time ago and it's still on-going, or should I say, developing.

Food-making is where I find joy and comfort. More importantly, baking and cooking aren't for yours truly but the loved ones.

I find this quote very meaningful:

"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all."
~Harriet Van Horne

I'm done blogging.Now back to work and studies!

Loving every bit of our first 1000 days!

2011-11-24T23:34:00.005+08:00

My heart races at the word '1000 days'. I don't know about the rest but to us, reaching 1000 days in a relationship is beyond memorable.

Here's to our 1000th Day celebration!

Complimentary breadstick

All dressed up for our dinner date :)

Take a look at the medium rare steak, it is baby's favourite!

Cheese Platter : A combination of 5 types of cheese with biscuits

Classic Mojito: 7atenine's signature cocktail

(Although it's a popular choice but it's never our favourite)

Couple shots:

Just us :)

Decision is made

2011-11-19T20:28:00.001+08:00

Right , after much consideration, I have decided to keep using my HTC and wait for iPhone 5, which probably gonna be released next year. I don't know the exact date but I shall be patient.

Given that Miss Siri is just the only most highlighted feature for the new iPhone 4s, I personally think waiting for another brand new iPhone 5 wouldn't be too painful. My future-brother-in-law was right.

I shall just save up for my UK and Bali trips for the time being.

Kor kor's Graduation Day

2011-11-10T19:35:00.000+08:00

Yes, 1000 days is pretty monumental.

Marriage

2011-11-06T08:04:00.004+08:00

Just a little update here,

My high school friend got married last week! It wasn't just a wedding dinner, but a reunion for all of us from SBU/BBGS.Whether it's been 10 years or 20 years, high school reunions are a time to catch up with old friends and reminisce about days gone by. I certainly enjoyed that night with all of them.

As the saying goes,

'Old friends are gold'

The drop dead gorgeous bride,Jasmine!

Sakai gang!

And here's my simple outfit for the night:

What I Wore

Colour splash dress[Korea]

Gold peep toe pumps [Bazaar]

Gold necklace and bracelet

Satin clutch [Coast]

Congratulations and have a blessed marriage, Jasmine and the new hubby,Alvin!

Always,

Dilemma

2011-11-05T14:34:00.000+08:00

Should I stick to my HTC or should I get the iPhone 4s once it's released?

What about waiting for the next iPhone 5?

*scratches head*

27 months

2011-11-04T23:24:00.002+08:00

It's been 2 years and 3 months since you left us.

I miss you, Dad.

I'm ready for December

2011-10-28T01:38:00.000+08:00

OMG TIESTO WILL BE IN TOWN THIS DECEMBER!

Dear HELP University,

Please be nice to me by ending my exams by the 10th of December! Besides, I have a birthday celebration to do with my baby!

Always,

Oktoberfestivities

2011-10-23T21:08:00.001+08:00

The girl friends are the best things that ever happened to me!

Zouking with the hot stuff and electro progressive house guru; Laidback Luke!

Tri-Factor Glam Night with the sexy chick!

My fabulous ladies!

Aye, October has been nice to me.

My hairstylist rocks big time!

2011-10-13T00:32:00.001+08:00

This Fall is all about blunt bangs with casual loose,wavy hair.

Bambang and Jojo from Hairkunst are highly recommended!

My house is a dust centre

2011-09-25T19:20:00.001+08:00

My house is currently undergoing major renovations and as such, I only have Sundays to enjoy longer sleeping hours. It's been two weeks, and I reckon this will be going on for another three weeks thanks to the adverse weather that hits unexpectedly.

Imagine these days, the sound of drilling, hammering and knocking begins as early as 8 in the morning till approximately 6-ish. This is really getting on my nerves but there's nothing I can do. Even a good earplug wouldn't help much!

To date, the process of removing wood ceiling beams and placing new tiles on the roof is underway. As expected, the house is way too dusty that I have to mop the floor every single day.

The wet kichen: Demolished and a new one is coming up.

Then it turned into this,though still halfway complete.

My house has a big hole from the top!

The garden and also Cocoa's playground: GONE!

Poor Cocoa Khong!

Improvements inside in the meanwhile

Nonetheless, my stay was still fine and I’m looking forward to the end result especially the new kitchen!

All I'm hoping for is a new food mixer because the old one is giving so much problems to me when I bake.
I spotted some awesome mixers from Kenwood!

Raspberry food mixer I likeeeeeeeeeeee!

Besides, I found a really amazing oven from Miele. The cooking space is 43 litres and it has over 16 cooking functions. The best part is it's designed with loads of automatic programmes to choose from, making temperature, time and function settings unnecessary. I can bake with ease if only this sophisticated oven is in my kitchen!

Ok, Miele should pay me for this write up.Hee.

In the years to come, I will certainly design my own kitchen. The must-have kitchen features are an island cooktop, in-built double ovens and refrigerators, dish-washer in a drawer, warming drawer, on-counter garage and of course, ample lighting!

Din dins with dudes and dudettes

2011-09-22T22:53:00.003+08:00

Finally, I've successfully kissed my finals goodbye after months of struggling to juggle between work and studies. Honestly, the entire semester had a tinge of bittersweet but I am glad that I've made it a fruitful one.

In order to bid farewell for Annie and Kitts (in a way to celebrate my freedom for 3 weeks!), we had dinner buffet at Jogoya again. I promised to work out after this crazy meal and I swear I'm gonna make it happen.

Here are the few snapshots:

Dudes and dudettes!

Failure

2011-08-14T01:50:00.000+08:00

An individual is bound to have experienced some failures or setback in what he/she does in every part of life.

Usually failure is not a very pleasant feeling and people tend to want to avoid failing. We know, failure should not necessarily be seen as something bad or negative. Instead, we should learn from our mistakes for the benefit of ourselves in the subsequent life. From self reflection, we will be able to come to terms with the defeat and strive to rectify ourselves so as to avoid the same pitfall again. If we could muster up the courage to really appraise ourselves after each setback instead of brushing it off lightly, we would be able to adapt ourselves much better to any future exigencies.

I know, failure can have potential positive consequences,but it has to be faced squarely. Such self evaluation requires strong self discipline and courage as we have to face up to our own inadequacies. More importantly though, we must be willing to listen and to digest the advice given by others instead of dismissing them. Again, this boils down to our own self discipline.Right?

Do I really want to change? In this sense then, failure is good only if we can face it without the slightest flinch, than our own character can only benefit from the honest soul searching and we will ultimately emerge stronger mentally.

I hope you get what I mean.

Always,

Bestie is backkk!

2011-08-11T22:15:00.000+08:00

The long awaited moment is here because bestie just came back from UK!

The placard =)

The Datin pose ;)

Pisceans!

I guess the surprise did work out.

Just a night out

2011-08-10T02:02:00.001+08:00

Twas a indeed a fun outing and I totally deserve it after days of sleepless nights.

Catching up with old mates, birthday celebration, non-stop laughter, singing session, pool and Chocolate Cheesecake.

What more can I ask for?

Enough of the brief post. Now back to work for Fashiono.my!

Through the lens

2011-08-08T23:24:00.003+08:00

Perhaps I should invest on a DSLR for my sister's wedding.

This is gonna be pretty meaningful.

Revisit

2011-08-07T09:02:00.004+08:00

I am looking forward for the trip!

Memories of childhood

2011-08-06T12:18:00.005+08:00

The memories of childhood have their own kind of nostalgia. With the passage of time, one feels more attached to this childhood, the best period of an individual's life.

During my childhood time, I have no worries, anxieties and no work. I was free from the dirty and filthy noises of the world. The motto of life remains: eat, drink and be merry. The charm of childhood cannot be forgotten as these memories have everlasting impression in my life.

When I recollect the days of my childhood, I feel very delighted over that pleasant period which I spent in high spirits. It was carefree, having no worries at all. I used to wander like a deer in the open field and enjoyed the beauty of playground with my parents and siblings.

It is this special period of childhood which will continue to live in my mind. I miss those good old days which had flown by ever so quickly.

Always,

On the count of 6!

2011-08-05T18:35:00.002+08:00

Quickly come back home ADELEINE LAU.

We've so much to catch up on!

In between the lines

2011-08-05T00:01:00.009+08:00

I forgo the opportunity to be part of Student Council as I have to prioritize Fashiono.my. I don't know if it's worth it but I strongly believe that it's all depending on myself to make this opportunity cost worth while.

When you're solely responsible for all the right choices and miscalculations, the brain cells just wouldn't stop tolerating with the ongoing stress. Life is no bed of roses.

Well,

business always come first in the life of a go-getter, no matter what.

Now I speak like a Business student oh yeah!

***

Let me digress just a little.

My newly revamped blog made its first grand appearance after all the procrastination.It took me a few good hours to mend here and there. Perfectionist being perfectionist. I am very particular about every single details (sometimes I'm quite sick of this attitude but I'm just being me!)

So yeah, cheers to the new layout and fancy bright colours!

Always,

August is crazyyyy

2011-08-04T20:05:00.001+08:00

I am so tempted to bake again but how can I find the extra time?

Cupcakes with fondant

Raisin and nuts bread

24 hours is just not enough!

=/

What sign is this?

2011-08-04T04:40:00.008+08:00

Recently, mom bought me a Mickey Mouse t-shirt from Hong Kong Disneyland. I squinted my eyes as if a white light shone upon my face. Perhaps it was a reflex reaction, just like when someone hits your knee and your leg bounces, or when you touch a hot stove and you instantly draw your hand away. I gave her a blank stare and said,

"Mommm, I don't wear cartoon characters tees anymore..."

She ended up wearing it herself.(and hopefully she's not offended!)

Be it Angry Bird, Domokun, Winnie the Pooh, Sesame Street,Smurfs or Sponge Bob t-shirt(wow surprisingly I'm good in naming them), thumbs down to all. I find it weird seeing people of my age or adults wearing them, an oddity I know. The fact that looking at grown ups walking around with a fake human or animal on their chest sort of makes them look super lame, or can't be taken seriously? I know it's called a t-shirt but they are generally not made for women as they don't fit correctly and perfectly.

The thing is, as far as I could remember, I wore more of SEED apparel during the younger times, not so much of Kiki Lala.Maybe that explains it all.

UNLESS it's attached with the real Doraemon magic pocket, I will be the first in line to wear a tee like that. Gosh, look what am I blabbering now.

Also, buying new clothes,new shoes and new bags for Chinese New Year wasn't the same as how I felt a decade ago mainly because the 'must-do' things on a festive season isn't a 'must-do' anymore, if you get what I mean.

Stuffed toys, teddy bears and plush animal toys are a waste of money, eat up valuable space and collect dust. Again, I would go for something more practical, like gold? =) Nevertheless, such gifts are deemed to be likeable if it's given by special someone.

Even animation movies aired on cinema wouldn't be my first choice if it not because of somebody else prompts me to watch it.

Overused emoticons in SMS/Facebook/MSN etc is plain stupid. Why I said this is because I've seen people who are an avid emoticons fans never fail to insert emoticons in whatever they say. It's not cool to end ALL your sentences with XD =D :) =D =S :] =)))))). Worst, the T underscore T emoticon (you should be able to imagine it by now, if you can't, here goes: T_____T). How about this, T Dot T, T.T? One more, equal dot equal, =.=. 'Funny' much!

[Whoops, the sarcastic side of me outshines the moon at this point in time]

Everyone knows my boyfriend has baby face, but I always tell myself I wouldn't wear a Hello Kitty shirt just to get compliment like, "You look good together with him!". I prefer it to come in a natural manner. I mean, thank goodness, the boyfriend doesn't fancy cartoon t-shirts and never a fan of them! If he does, I would be dating my 'little brother'. Phew!

There was this day I wore a Naf Naf lime green dress and upon returning home, my bro commented,

" Eeeee, the dress doesn't match your age."

[Please note that he has got problems with my picks on clothing most of the time that I couldn't be bothered with his remarks but instead I tried to lecture him on his fashion taste on women.For one, he always thinks I'm his little sister, like very LITTLE?! Besides, he figured I should wear more decent clothes. AM I NOT? HAHAHA)

I came to a realisation that my style is never about cuteness.

My point is, have I grown up or is it a sign of ageing or both?

I can't tell either.

=?

Dad, I miss you.

Mid-of-the year crunch

2011-07-17T15:16:00.000+08:00

At this period of time, exams are pretty much routine work. I don't loathe them nor do I love them. Given that exams are mostly testing our memory retention and ability to work under time pressure, I would suggest my university should be more kind to me by not placing 4 subjects in two consecutive days.

This is such a nonsense timetable.

Hmmph!

On a side note, there's another event to cover coming Sunday. It seems like my job is getting more interesting.Yes, I'm so very excited for now! Well well well, at least there's something to cheer me up.And oh, I can't wait to see horsieeee too!


Nerding mode continues.................

A form of adversity

2011-07-13T00:22:00.001+08:00

In the silent midnight hours, I came to a realization that I have the tendency to possess something that I like, or in this case, love.

In other words, I usually get what I want, and also when I want it. Sometimes it takes just a mere second to get hold of it but sometimes it only happens in a very long time. I questioned myself repeatedly as to whether is it worth waiting for.

Now, I'd conclude that,

waiting is a form of TORTURE.

Aye.

Then again,

it seems like you'll only learn to appreciate when something is hard to get.

I reckon this is the best time to apply the following idiom:

'Patience is a virtue'

I am waiting, patiently waiting......

Always,

Chow

The destination is set

The balancing act

Perhaps the most fortunate people are those whose life-work is a continuation of what they did best at school. The rewards, whether great or small, for this work are incidental to the interest, and therefore the enjoyment of the job. The danger here is that 'work' of this kind can be so absorbing that other activities are excluded, leading to an imbalance lifestyle.

STOP.

The 'workaholic' is beginning to reveal its trueself.

but

THANKFULLY,

there's so much enjoyment in both work and leisure.The best situation is a reasonable balance between two extremes.

I am ready to strenuously persevere.
