Knitting

I browsed the net and I found this website. Then I told BB that I wanna learn knitting. I even wanna go to buy the yarns & needles immediately. Then my MIL told me that Precious has it.

With the book, yarn, needles & youtube, I am starting my knitting journey from now onwards.

Have learned to cast on, knit & purl stitch.

BB teased me that I will take a year to knit him a scarf. Hmm.... don't "pley-pley" with me, ok. I am sure I will get it done for you in less than a year. Muahaha....

Neti Pot

Hi everyone, wanna make a guess what is this Neti Pot for? A tea pot? An aromatherapy burner? Lets watch the clip & you will know how useful this thing is.



Yes, it is for your sinus health. In our daily life, we are exposed to pollution, dust & chemicals. With the use of this neti pot, it helps to cleanse our nasal passages & also make our breathing easier & more free. Though the video demonstration looks unpleasant but for those who has tried it, the feeling is simply fantastic.

My First Digital Camera

All this while, I used either my SIL's camera or my K800i phone camera to shoot the pictures. I have always thinking of buying a digital camera. Last Friday, when I was shopping at MP, I passed by Fotokem. Just for the fun of it, I enquired the man for Sony latest cybershot camera, Album-T or Sont Cyber-shot DSC T2.

Throughout our conversation, the man actually recommended me to take Canon Ixus 860 IS than going for the stylish Sony Cybershot camera. The features in Canon is greater (wide angle, 3.8x optical zoom, multi-face detection) & the picture quality in the outdoor & indoor are equally good as well. With the price of RM 1499, they have given me 2GB memory card, 3 years warranty, one mini tripod & a pouch too. Moreover, it was the last day of promotion. So without much hesitation, I have bought my very first digital camera finally.

Green Tea Ice Cream

While doing our shopping in Jusco this afternoon, Hubby B offered to make Green Tea ice-cream for me. Of course I will be glad to try out his skills. He also pampered me with the Chicken Delight's Rojak. **I'm in cloud nine today**

Though it is just an instant pack, but you can see how serious Hubby B was when preparing for this dessert. He also added a pack of green tea to enhance the aromatic of this ice-cream.

After coming back from Alfred & Leanne's wedding, I tried the icre-cream. Hmmm.......Not bad. The texture is smooth except a bit creamy. When I gave him my comment, then he told me that he has poured extra 50ml of fresh milk. No wonder! Anyway, he would want to give it a try again & I will give him my support too.

I appreciated his hard work. Thanks Hubby B!

Fig Jelly (Ai -Yu Ping - 檸檬愛玉冰.)

I believe that most of you have tasted this dessert before. I was truly, madly & deeply in love with him when I was young. After the peak, my loves to him started to fade off.

This amber, gelatinous-like dessert is as beautiful to look at as it is tasty. It is normaly serve in a sweet syrup with lime and ice. I always wonder what is this jelly made from. However, I never bother to find it out until recently I saw this Ai Yu Jelly instant pack from the backery equipment shop. Without much hesitation, I grabbed a pack of Ai Yu Jelly for myself.

This dessert is made from the seeds of the Ficus awkeotsang (Ai Yu Zi). It mainly grows on the mountain side of 1000 to 1800 meters above sea level. The most common way to eat Ai Yu Zi is to pick the fruit and then turn the fruit inside out and sun-dry it. The condensed gel gotten from Ai Yu Zi mixed with water is the dessert called Ai Yu Jelly. Ai Yu Zi is rich in pectin which can counteract with the calcium ion in the water. Used as a Chinese medicine, it can promote vessel distention and prevent vascular sclerosis. At summertime, served chilled, sweetened and flavoured with lemon, Ai -Yu jelly can give you the feeling of cool and freshness.

My Ai Yu Jelly is now set in the fridge. I did some modification in the syrup. Instead of using sugar, I used honey and lemon. It is much more healthy right?

Hubby B has just asked me to set up a stall to sell Ai Yu Ping after tasted it. Haha...

I'm a Cake Mania

I'm addicted to Cake Mania recently. I bought it for RM 8 from Maxis. It isn't a complete game because it only has the Home Bakery & Beach version. The full version should included the Circus & Casino.

As I'm new to this game, I was a bit slow when I played it at the first time. After my frequent practising & also my familiarization with the operation, then I started to score better & better on my each game.

Hey... It is not an easy game to play. You need to bake the cakes as required by the customers at a specific time given. With the amount of money that you earn, you'll need to plan of which equipments to buy so that it will maximize your sales. If you bake the cake wrongly, it is either you keep it for the next customer who need it or you just have to throw it into the dustbin.

I'm expert of playing the game now. Haha... I shared it with BB yesterday. You can notice that he was like me during his first few games. But I do see his improvement if were to compared with his past few games. Great job, BB.

Try it & you will definitely addicted to it. However, I need to let you know that the one that played in the mobile phone is much more fun compared to the PC application. Believe it or not?

Life is the same too. We are not always on the smooth path. Sometimes there are up & down too. It is all depending on how we manage it. I believe with the determination & faith, we will succeed one fine day.

Will You Try It?

I was thirsty after having my homemade satay celup. So I thought of getting a glass of orange juice to drink. Suddenly I have this crazy idea to mix this Sunkist Orange Juice with balckcurrant Vitagen. Haha... wonder will it cause me diarrhea later???

Curious to see how it turned out to be after their marriage, right? Wait ya....

The presentation was good. The taste? Extremely good...........

If we never try, we will never know. If we never ask, we will never get!

Happy trying & more to come from me. :-)

Our First Music Video Clip

I created this music video clip from Animoto! The host is given the guest to try a 30 seconds music video clip for free. You may download your images with your favourite music as the background. So don't wait there. Come & give it a try!

The Lane of Memory

Suddenly I feel like doing this for my parents. My mum was pretty, wasn't she? But too bad, I do not inherit her beautiful features.

My First Handheld

I got my handheld finally after a long process of survey & negotiation with few sellers from mypdacafe.com

Among the sellers, I chosen Teohjo because of his honesty & also his sincerity. In addition, his handheld is pretty new. He only used it for 2 weeks & kept it in the box after that. So it is a 1-month old gadget.

He did complain on the battery issue & I was worried initially. So I checked it with BB & also my Pda addict's friend, Mr. Lui. They have assured me that this wasn't a big issue. Hence, before the confirmation, I have BB's help to meet up with him to view the phone condition first.

This handheld is finally reached home safely with BB. Haha... Wow... It is really new & it comes with WM6. Hmmm... I need to touch up my handheld before using it. So BB will bring him to boutique to purchase screen protector, leather casing & also a car charger next week.

Till I see him again in two weeks time...

My Ugly Heels

Most of the women will encounter this problem. I have it sometimes. This is usually caused by dry skin. It do not looks good at all. Cracked heels are unattractive and annoying. When the cracks are deep, they will hurt. It can bleed and get infected too.

I tried applying generous amount of foot lotion and put on socks before going to bed, but still.... the dryness comes back if I skipped that for a week.

Then, I came accross this Dermalife Hydrating Heel Patch from Guardian. It sounds good & convenience to me. So, I bought it for a try! However, it is kind of pricey for a 8-course treatment (RM 24).

I tried it for 2 days with socks & without socks. Poor thing. I still gotta put on socks when using it. Else, the edge of the patch will rub against the bedsheet & the whole thing is gone! Haha... or maybe I am too rough.

Anyway, I think that cracked heels are a long term treatment. Once I get my current heels treated, then I guess I gotta be a bit hardworking to maintain it.

Everyone Can Decorate Nail at Home

I got this set of Konad's Stamping Nail Art from Dataran Pahlawan. It comes with 3 small bottles of special polishes, 2 image plates (M2, M3), 1 scraper & 1 stamp.

So I tried it for the very first time. It is kind of difficult to get the stamp to pick up the designs from the plate. Then I recalled the sales girl advice that we need to season the new rubber stamp first before we start using it. So I kept on rubbing the stamp onto my jeans. Hey surprise! It finally picked up the design!

Look at my toe nails. How do you find it? Not bad right? Well I would say that it does require some techniques as with many nail art things... "Practice makes perfect!"
