Laura Mercier's eau de parfum

Finally found this parfum after a search for 2 years. Previously can only get in the US. But when I was having lunch with Sharon (an ex-client), she said that I can now purchase it at Ngee Ann city, by True Colors. Damn, I walked passed that shop many a times but never knew they sell fragrances from Laura Mercier. I thought they only sell cosmetic products.

Anyway, its worth the search now that I found it.

Nobody - Cute Animation

Found this on youtube. Damn cute. The person who created this animation is a talent.

My advanced Xmas Pressie

Remember last week when I blogged a post about my 1st anniversary and advanced Xmas pressie ? Initially Superhubby told me that the kitchen mixer would be it. But somehow, on Monday, he sent me a message on MSN, saying that he has a surprise Xmas pressie for me. (GOSH!!!... This surprise shocked me even more cos I wasn't expecting any thing more, as I've not gotten him anything for the anniversary. I wasn't sure what to get him!! I am such a horrible wife. I know!!!! Aiksssss....)

Then when I came home, forever being an impatient person, I asked him what it was (so anti-climax isn't it?).. haha.. I can't help it. He said "You sure you want it now? Don't you want to wait till Xmas to open it?".. I hesitated and just leave it to Xmas. But when he left for BKK yesterday, he left the pressie on the bed. When I came home from work, I was surprised to see a nice Jo Malone paper bag on the bed. I knew what it was.

Prof Kum and gf Clara got this for Jac for her birthday pressie. She opened it and let us smelled the lotion, I loved it instantly. Superhubby knew then that I was going to buy this lotion, cos me, being a person who is very sensitive to smell and I love fresh fragrance toiletries, & perfume.... this would make the perfect gift, cos I was asking Clara where she got it from and she didn't seems to want to tell me where so I stop asking. I thought to myself, I will go google it online and I will know where to get it. But somehow, after I got home, I have totally forgotten about it. But little did I know that Superhubby knew whats on my mind and got it before I could remember it.

So, here it is...sorry guys.. can't share the fragrance with you as I can't upload it virtually. Hahaha...


Baby Nathanael Ng

Baby Nathanael was born on 19.11.2009. He is the bundle of joy for new parent, Andy and Jennifer Ng. Andy is Superhubby's first cousin.

Isn't this little angel Supercute? I can't get my eyes off him when we visited him on M0nday. So wanted to carry him.. but he is less than a week old. Too fragile to be carried by someone who have not been handling such little creature for a long long time. I used to help mom when I was young as she baby sitted babies from a month old till they are 3 to 4 years old. I grew up with kids around me, hence I have always love kids.
He seems to know whats happening around him. When we arrived, he was kicking a big fuss... crying non stop till new daddy Andy was holding him and walking around not knowing what to do while new mommy Jennifer warmed up the bottle of breast milk for him. Cranky little boy. But he is so adorable, you will just ignore the crankiness and continue to admire his cutieness. After some effort of getting him to drink the milk, which he did eventually, (hey.. he drinks a lot man... ).. then he started to open his eyes, one and then the other.. then forced open both to see who is uncle Norman and auntie Lanny.
Then, he blinked at me.. How cute right? I am loving this boy already.

Special Gift in the making

This muffler is in the making... for a very special friend. When its complete and presented, will update with more pictures. In the meantime, trying to rush this out on time to be presented.

My special pralines bitezzz

I made this on Saturday...as a snack (substitute for popcorn) while watching my Hong Kong drama D.I.E. II.

Very simple. Just break cream crackers into pieces, lined them into a baking tin, ( I lined my tin with aluminium foil so as to easy clean up after baking)...

On a saucepan, bring to boil a cup of packed brown sugar with 100g of butter. Once the mixture has come to a boil, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar. You may add some cashew nuts, or walnut ( I hate walnut, hence I used honey roasted cashew nuts). Stir well and remove from stove.

Pour the mixture onto the crackers. You may sprinkle some bite size milk chocolates on top of these ( I used Hersheys but didn't melt that well. Lindt would be a better choice) and bake for 10-15 mins. Remove from oven and cut into pieces. Do take note that as these are crispy, they will break into many small little pieces. But tasted as yummy.

You may cut down the amount of sugar if you do not like it too sweet.

Happy 1st Anniversary 22.11.2009

Today, we celebrate our 1st Anniversary. At this date a year ago, we exchanged our vow, to love one another, to be there for each other in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. We promise to love one another unconditionally, to support, to honor and respect, to laugh with and cry with, and to cherish for as long as we both shall live.

We have been together for 8 years before we tie the knot last year and up till today, our love and trust for each other, stand strong. And I hope we will have more of this years to come, and along with little ones... God Bless!

We didn't have a lavish celebration, as we are not someone who likes attention and crowds. We prefer serenity in life and enjoy just having each other's company. I spent whole day watching my Hong Kong drama, D.I.E. II (Detective Investigations Extension). Funny drama. Managed to finish the whole set today and went to Compassvale Mall to have our dinner at Ajisen Ramen. Yucks!!! The standard drop drastically... tasted like shit. speechless... sigh... but anyway... after dinner we went to Ya Kun for a cup of tea, then went to Bengawan Solo to exchange for a cake from a voucher which our neighbour gave us for his baby girl's full month celebration. Saw a hand wax corner and thought it would be fun when my brother is here. We can join our hand to have the wax done and will get him to bring it home for display. Hahaha.. What a weird idea. Well, I know my brother is always up for any funny ideas whenever he comes to Spore. Hubby thinks I am crazy when I asked him to have the hand wax done with me. hahaha..

Anyway, I can't wait for them to be here. I am sure its gonna be lots of fun! But stupid brother will only arrive on the eve. He always make such short trip. Horrible him.
