iMango Cheesecake

Finally I've got my hands to make this non-bake Mango Cheesecake. Texture is rather soft. Perhaps I have added too much mango. ( I never follow the recipe accurately, cutting down this and added that.. )Thats what makes them special and not a total copy cat. I would say I use those recipe only as a guide as I always change the ingredient to something I prefer.

Cut them into smaller pieces and placed in containers to be kept in the freezer. Just take it out an hour before consumption. Am keeping them for mom and brother, Aunt Stella and cousin Alina (which I promised her yesterday that next saturday I will bring them to grandpa's place for her). So Alina, if you are reading this blog, please remember to go to ah gong's place coming Saturday yeah.

Till then, I am going to enjoy a piece of this while watching The HOST on ch U.

I am a Secret Santa to????

This coming Friday night is our company's DND... as commonly celebrated every year in between Xmas and New Year. But this year, its a little different, firstly we are having it earlier than usual, and it will not be held at any hotel but in our own HS office. Theme is 70's and best dressed will be awarded with $150.00 ( seriously, I can't be bothered to dress up in 70s when I was only informed 3 days in advance. Where the hell am I going to find clothes of the 70s?)... Its okie larrrrrr... so long as I am properly dressed for the event, and having lots of fun with my colleagues (only some... not all... )... will make the night 70s fill with lots of fun and laughter. Hahaha... whatever....!!!

Secondly, everyone is someone's Secret Santa. I've got this nice bag hanger from Cedric as the gift for my lucky pick. Hopefully she likes it. I do not like to get things for the sake of buying but it has to be practical where the person will use it.

New Moon - 07.12.09

Finally, I'd watched the long awaited movie, New Moon, The Twilight Saga.

Gosh, after this movie, I have a new love for the werewolf... all because of Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Damn.. he is such a charm... and if one thinks that Edward is a charm.. well.. he is the past charm to me. With his(Jacob) new found identity in New Moon and new look, he is almost perfect. Almost.. because he is in a movie.... caring, protective, his gazing eyes.. can melt any ice in a woman's heart.. well at least mine.. I was so convinced that I only love vampires, hence I loved Edward Cullen, but in this saga, Edward looks like a skinny pale vampire... (perhaps due to his intake of only animals' blood... he prohibits himself from taking human blood... )... LOL..

... but as for Jacob.. he is the Charm... just a stare from his eyes, makes my heart skips. Oh mine.. Okie.. I shall say no more.. and let you guys go watch it... but if your gfs leave the cinema goo-goo and ga-ga-ing about Jacob Black, just forgive her, cos my Superhubby did so. Hahaha..

Yes, he is Jacob Black, the werewolf!

These are the hunks who forms the group of werewolves. Aren't they a charm?

Ribeye for dinner - 08.12.09

Superhubby went for his badminton games with his friends... so I was alone for dinner, hence I dropped by Carrefour before I went home and bought this piece of ribeye. Cooked for approximately 5 mins on both sides and I had my medium rare steak. That was all I had and it makes me a Happy Girl...

Little Hamsters

After lunch yesterday, Wee Leong, Michelle and myself, went to a pet shop at Suntec basement to get her(Michelle) new poodle puppy some supplies of dog food, dog bowl etc. She has just bought a 3 months old poodle for her MIL. While the guys are sharping their knife to get her to buy many many things for the pups, myself and "Hairy Teo" went to the front of the shop to catch a glimpse at those hamsters in the glass tank. They are so adorable that we can't help it but to snap some pics of them. Hahah... I used to have a mini Zoo at home (previous home).. where I had 2 cats, a dog (maltese), 1 chinchilla & 8 hamsters. Friends who visited me always joked about me having a mini zoo and me a zoo keeper.

Busy Sunday 06.12.09

Last sunday was a super busy day to me, given that I usually just laze at home and do nothing. Its my way of getting recharge after a tired week of working days. But this Sunday was kinda different. For the first time, I took part in a flea-market, selling my brownies. Its more of for fun and creating the opportunity for people to know the existance of my brownies. Thanks to Kim. She and her bf (whose father is a partner with actress Andrea de Cruz of a hair salon, CINQ). They let us have a little fun of flea-market at their salon on Sunday. Yeah, Andrea was there for just a short while and she bought some brownies from me.)

Superhubby took some of the photos but I will upload the photos taken from the flea-market much later.

After the flea, Superhubby dropped me at Jac's place and we went for dinner at Sushi Tei at Paragon. WOW!!! The place is fantastic, nice cozy ambience. The restaurant has moved to another unit and been nicely renovated. Quite impress and the menu is special too. We ordered food that other branches don't serve.

My all time favourite, gyu-don, but this menu has the combination of gyu-don with japanese curry. Perfecto!! Loved it but Jac prohibited me from finishing them up. *sob sob*

Uni sushi... (sea urchin)...soft but tasteless to me. Don't know why Superhubby loves it. He wasn't with us, otherwise he will be the happiest man at dinner. Whenever we go to a sushi bar.. he will always hunt for uni but just his luck, they are always out of stock. Jac ordered this for me cos she knew I have never tasted it before and she wanted me to try it.

Not sure what are these called as Jac ordered these too. All I did was to eat them. I eat almost anything in a Japanese restaurant. But these are salmon wrapped in .. ermm... don't know wat... hahaha.. oops!

Sword fish sashimi... I love this fish but I was told by friends that they contain high level of mercury and not good if eaten too much.

Now... Jac explained... "this is gonna be the right amount of rice you should be eating... nothing more that this... okie?"... and I went..."Orghhhhh... (looking horribly sad)... "

By the way, this little hill of rice... are of 4 spoonfuls. Thats it.... thats all I can have!!!!!! Not just for this dinner, but for all my meals... for a long time to come... (she and Superhubby are trying real hard to get me to lose weight... Superhubby asked for her help and here she is again... oh... Jac's profession... she is a Dietitian... but she is my BFF... so thats explain why Superhubby got her to help cos he knew, I listen to her... but I still find it rather pathetic to be eating only 4 spoonful of rice per meal.. I will try ... real hard...

After dinner, we went shopping at Paragon, CK Tang & Takashimaya, and Jac bought lots of stuff.. I am not gonna mentioned what she bought earlier but the last thing she got at Taka, is this little softy Xmas tree. So cute... it's about 1 ft tall.... and

.... if you press on this little red music note, it will play the song "O Christmas tree"... damn cute lor.. "tak boleh tahan.. ".. we couldn't help laughing at it.. she loves it instantly and bought it. (when I saw her happy laughter, I knew I wanted to get his for her as Xmas pressie.. but she bought it instantly.... now I have to think of something else to get for her Xmas pressie).

Yuriko the Onesan with Ototo Akira

These are Joel and Mayuko's kids. Little Yuriko with her newborn baby brother Akira.
Baby Akira is the latest joy of Joel and Mayuko. He was born on the 12th November. We visited him last Sunday and he was very asleep and didn't manage to see the uncles and auntie. But we had lots of fun playing with his big sister, Yuriko.
