07 MarDay 1 in New Orleans

4 Comments »

I have finally decided to blog about my trip. There was one point where I felt too lazy to blog, but I also want to make sure I keep my promise.

So here I am, blogging about my trip to New Orleans.

I have to learned to pack wisely, I always over pack stuff. This time I checked in a big luggage and 2 carry ons.

Hi, New Orleans. So Day One was basically just spending time in the airport, in the flight and checking- in and settling down.The first thing I did as we landed in New Orleans, I took out my phone and checked the weather. Surprisingly, it was quite cold around, 8-10 Celsius during the day. I didn’t bring any winter coats, not even a jacket that could keep me warm. Well, at least it was sunny.

I was quite satisfied with my hotel room and service. It wasn’t far away from everything, in fact it was right in the heart of the French Quarter.

After changing into something warm, we headed down to the main party street. It was already full of people walking around with drinks in their hands.

Beads were all over the place when we got there.

I was freezing while walking down the street, the wind was quite strong and chilly.

We headed to the French Market to have lunch.

After an hour of waiting, our food was finally here. Their famous fried chicken and gumbo. It was the best fried chicken I have ever had, juicy and crispy. Southern people love fried food, thats why they have the best fried chicken =D

After lunch, we went to take a walk around the market.

They were selling all kinds of mask, they weren’t cheap. The cheapest one was around 90 usd, thought I could get one as souvenir.

Then we headed back to Bourbon street for more beads!

Some bar decorate their balcony to attract more people.

All the balconies were full of people, and they were those who were giving out free beads!

You can try to asking for beads by doing what I’m doing in this picture, or you can do something more fun… such as showing your tits. If you’re asking for beads from guys, they will normally ask you to show them ur boobs. If you’re too shy to do so you can try asking for beads from ladies. I’m talking about aunties here not girls because girls will normally ask you to flash too.

It took me one whole day to learn how to catch a strand of beads without hurting my thumb.

After 20 minutes of beads hunting.

40 minutes…

The end of the day… *proud*

Next time if you’re planning to go over to New Orleans for Mardi gras, make sure you learn how to hold a girl up on your shoulders or sit on the shoulders of your man for more BEADS beforehand.

We ended the day watching the parade, and catching beads, and freezing ourselves.

03 MarChinese New Year 2010

2 Comments »

After reading CNY entry form my Bff’s blog, I got motivated to blog about my last CNY in The States.

As usual we always have our reunion dinner on the 30th aka New Year’s eve in Jon and frens’ place. Jon and Jo were the chefs of the day, they cooked, they prepared and they bought everything. As you all know that I’m going back to Msia for good in May, I’m pretty excited about it (倦鸟归巢). After 3 years staying here, I kinda miss everything back home. I miss celebrating important or special events with my family, I miss my small kampung. So I have made my final decision to head home right after our finals. If you’re curious I’ll definitely bring Nachoman home with me.

Ok back to my original topic…

Here are all the ingredients used tat day.

I was on my laptop the whole day while they were busy cooking.

I felt bad, so I walked into the kitchen and ask if they needed help. Well, obviously the answer was nope, so I took pictures of them cooking instead.

Preparing the sauce for  lao sheng.

I was assigned to cook rice, 8 cups of rice.

Jo’s homemade Lao Sheng.

I went back to my seat and continued surfing the net.

I’m a very traditional person when it comes to Chinese New Year, I always wear red on the eve and first day of New Year.

Then Bega came over early for dinner, so we camwhored.

Jo preparing Lao Sheng…

The final result of homemade Lao Sheng.

Looked like those Lao Sheng that they sell back in M’sia.

Boys being boys… Kept staring at the TV for some basketball match that was showing on the day.

Posed for the camera and then started to Lao… The higher the better.

It tasted exactly the same as the one I had back home.

Bega and I.

Super yummy fried ribs cooked by Jo

Spicy Shrimps cooked by Yenni

Lotus, peanuts and ribs soup by Jo

Rice cooked by Me *damn proud*

Mushrooms and Vege cooked by Jon

Steamed fish cooked by Jon

Steamed Chicken and bbq pork cooked by Jon

My personal chef

Yenni and I

Everyone was super satisfied with all the food.

After the dinner the boys got sucked back into the basketball match again…

After cleaning all the dishes, we started our usual activity- Poker. We finished the day at around 4am playing cards. My reunion dinner in The States is really sweet and warm, they made me feel like home. Thanks for all the company and laughter, nothing compared to a simple and sweet dinner I had that night with all my close friends.

27 FebThe Brush Guard

2 Comments »

Recently I have been looking for a cute case for my make up brushes but all I can find is a black and boring case. So, the other day when I was surfing net as usual, I found this very cool product that helps in storing our brushes. After doing some research on this product, Im  100% sure that this is the thing that i need to get in order to keep my brushes in prefect shape. It arrived a few days ago and after I tried it I, just couldn’t wait to share it with all my readers and friends.

So here we go,

Here it is, The Brush Guard.

I bought the variety pack, it came with..

1 large-Powder/Kabuki

2 medium- Foundation

2 small-Blush

1 extra small-Shadow/liner.

You can also get them individually.

It’s actually a stretchable, breathable plastic tube. So it helps your brush stay in shape and also keep it away from dust.

Let me show you how this cute little thing work.

First, hold you brush like this. (I’m using my powder brush as an example)

Then, slip the correct sized brush guard ( large) over the brush handle.

This is the end result. It’s really easy and handy.

The brush guard is really tough and  it can even hold up the brush. So, you don’t have to worry if you put your brushes in a normal soft case without any protection.

You might need to leave half an inch of the brush guard sticking out to keep dust away from your brushes.

Another benefit of the brush guard is right after you clean your brush, you can use the brush guard during the drying process.

This helps your brush stay in shape and also keep the water out of the brush. So, basically we are using gravity  to pull moisture away from the ferrule. In this way, the water won’t wick into the ferrule and spoil the glue.

I’m glad that I can use my old case that I have been using for my brushes without worrying about the shape of my brushes.

Isn’t it easy and useful…Love it!

27 FebA day at work

1 Comment »

As I promised I will blog about a day at work.

Ok, straight to the point. My shifts are Monday and tuesday from 2pm-8.30pm, yup 7 hour shift.

Well I have nothing much to write about my work so I’ll let my pictures do all the talking.

On the way to work…

My first shift on Monday is the Grill, which is my favorite shift of all.

First thing I do when I get into my station is cleaning the hot plate.

Then the fun part begins… start making grilled cheese, hotdogs, vege and turkey burgers.

Placing all the prepared grilled cheeses at the left hand side of the grill (my personal preference)

then placing vege/ turkey patties in the middle

Another fun part of my job, wrapping the food. It’s just like playing cooking mama in real life, if you know me you know I LOVE cooking games!

Preparing the pizza to be served.

Mixing the salad of the week.

Making sure the salad bar is clean and full.

I also learned how to make pepperoni, sausage and cheese pizzas.

First spread out the tomato sauce over the surface of the dough.

then layer it with cheese.

Then place pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Done!

Last but not least, placing them into a cart and pushing them into a giant fridge.

Well, I think thats pretty much it. It’s fun and tiring at the same time, but I kinda like it.

14 FebHappy Valentine’s Day

No Comments »

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends and readers.

Woke up to a rose beside me, I was so shock and happy.

Thank you so much my love.

♥

We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it’s been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It’s pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I’m glad you’re mine.
-Marai
