  • Our 5th Anniversary ♥ 1

    Halo, Im back from my little getaway with Jo. It was indeed a very relaxing and quiet getaway. Jo is always the one who complains when I want to stay in and sleep all day long. When it came to this getaway, it was totally opposite cause he was the one who fell asleep real early and woke up late in the morning, hohoho….

    Time flies, it has been 5 years since we’ve been together, so far so sweet. hehehe

    We tend to travel around during our anniversary, we went to New York on our 1st anni, Mexico on our 2nd anni, Mexico on our 3rd anni and UK &Paris on our 4th anni. I always tell myself Im the luckiest girlfriend cause Jo loves to travel and he loves bringing me around too. On our 5th anniversary, he sort of mentioned we should go to a place that is more private like an island. Since he has been to PLR many years ago, he suggested that we should totally spend a weekend there as our lil anniversary getaway. When I first looked at the rates I kinda refused to go, it’s too expensive, and we’d have to spend so much staying in a resort which is located in Msia.

    Then, he stopped planning for a few weeks and then he insisted we should spend our anniversary there, what else I could say, I agreed. Im glad that I made the right decision, the island is so beautiful. It’s quiet, the staff are really really friendly and helpful (they dont accept any tips) the most important thing is that the room is super clean and pretty! LOVED IT

    We started our journey on Friday at around 6.30am (yes, to beat the traffic).

  • ♥ Paris Picture Diary 1

    Bonjour~~~

    One of my readers suggested me to post some pictures of my trip to Paris back in the spring of 2009 and since AirAsia started flying to Paris, Im taking this opportunity to tease those who are considering.

    Paris is a MUST go city for couples!

    When I was studying in the States, I’ve always wanted to travel outside the US. I have been to Mexico twice during Fall holidays and while I was doing research online about “Where should I go for spring break?” Uk and Paris popped into my mind!

    I love Paris, croissants, castles, and the Eiffel tower, so why not travel to Paris and the UK during Spring break. Jo and I went over to the travel agent in Lansing and asked for more details.We got to travel to the UK and Paris for 6 days for a very reasonable price! Since Jo has already been to both the UK and Paris, I had no worries about getting lost there.

    So, off we went!

    P/s: Im going to just post up some pictures because I have no idea what to write ’cause I’ve already forgotten about the details of our trip.

    Well, it’s a picture diary so please don’t torture me, thanks and enjoy!

  • “Balik Kampung” It’s time to say Goodbye

    Finally, It’s time to pack up my things and leave. I have no idea what I should write about in this post and since it’s the last entry for my “Balik Kampung” series I might as well just throw in some pictures and captions.

    Went back to uncle’s place and had a very yummy pineapple bun

    Went to Mos Burger for lunch with sister cause parents were enjoying their high tea session with grandma. We tried something new; pork burger with rice instead of a bun. I was craving to have western food but ended up ordering the wrong thing and it turned out to be like having chinese in a fast food restaurant.

    Taiwanese citizens are very into recycling. They even have to separate their straws, paper cups, wrappers and trays when disposing their food in fast food restaurants. Look how complicated it is, I was so gan cheong I might throw my paper cup into a wrong bin.

    Went to walk around looking for a pink suitcase and wala I found it! Ended up I bought 2; a baby pink and a dark pink polka dot suitcase. Yup, it’s the one Audrey mentioned in her blog =D Here is the exact color of the suitcase in case u’re curious hehe.

    Then we went to have mixed ice after dinner, my sis’s fav.

    Looks like cotton candy!

    and Malaysia airlines meals sucks max! Hate it!

    Well, I think thats pretty much about it for my “Balik Kampung” series. I hope you’ve liked them as they’re not like any other travel posts I’ve done.

    It’s more about food food food and the company.

    Have a great day!

    P/s: Jo and I are planning for a little getaway trip for our 5th anni. Im pretty excited about it. Hehe I cant wait till Dec!

  • Konapun Japanese Cooking Toy

    Ever since I saw the Youtube video of this toy I have been searching up and down for it. I Googled it and found out that they are selling it on Ebay but it will cost me a bomb if Im really that desperate to get it from them, so I gave up.

    One fine day when I was in Taiwan having dumplings, I mentioned this cute little cooking set to my uncle and he was like “Lets go hunt for it after this!” I was so surprised that he was actually willing to spend all his time with us looking for this cooking set that might not even exist in Taiwan.  So after lunch, we hopped into his car and off we went.

    We went to the first mall and the salesgirls told us that they have seen this product a long time ago but they’ve already stopped producing them. I was so disappointed and thought that maybe we were too late.

    Stopped by 2nd and 3rd malls. To be honest after the 2nd mall I have already given up but my uncle insisted to go to the 3rd and 4th so I just followed.

    Well, I know god will always take care of those who show him how desperate or how much effort u’ve put into looking for something you really want. WALA, we found it in the 4th mall. It was the last set and it was also on sale!! *wink wink*

    Konapun- It creates a variety of  Japanese food by using powder & water. All you need to do is to mix, stir and wait, isn’t it easy!

    A few different packs of powders to make different types of food.

    It’s not a big deal if you have no idea how to read japanese cox the instructions include pictures. It shows u step by step, how to cook all the dishes.

    Waited for 15 minutes… and here is the end result for rice. It smells and looks like the real thing.

    Done with Ketchup. We put it into a plastic bag so it’s easier for us to decorate.

    After making ketchup, it was time to make omelets and fried eggs. We mixed the egg powder with a lil bit of water.

    Poured the eggs into a tray and put it in our mini oven and waited for 15 minutes.

    While waiting for it we cooked the omelet.

    It was done right after 15 mins so we put in a little bit of rice and wrapped it.

    We mixed the rice with a little bit of ketchup so it will “taste” better.

    Then it’s time to make some tempura and chicken chop.

    Personally I love making tempura, it’s fun and amazing. You can literary fry it in this mini kitchen!

    A pot of  “oil” is more than enough to fry 2 tempuras and a chicken chop.

    Throw all the tempura in it and wait for it to turn brown. It’s amazing that it actually sounds like you’re deep frying something.

    When it floats on the surface of the oil u know it’s ready to be served.

    Ready to be served!

    Don’t they look like a real dish!

    Another very cool dish that we did. Fish egg Sushi!

    Sashimi

    Yummy!!!

    Do you want one too?  Hehe I googled and found they are selling them in Ebay, check it out here . Now you can have your own lil cooking kitchen!

    By the way, I got the Konapun kitchen set for RM100 because it was the last one and it was on sale. The original price was RM140.

    besides tat we also bought 6 different refill packs for different dishes. We bought spaghetti, pudding, cakes, sushi, curry rice and ice cream.

    It cost us a total of RM 250 for 6 packs; It’s around RM40 per pack.

    I know we are a little bit crazy about this, my dad was like ” You spent almost RM300 for something that you cant eat or use or even keep?”

    Well, It’s just for fun!
