Boxing Day Sale!!

Mum asked me a few nights before about Boxing Day Sale that I always wanted to go.. and so there I go..for the first time going for crazy sales like this.. waking up at 4am something 5am and got ready to go David Jones for the sale. I went there with my housemate Joy, Min Li who stayed over in the city with us and Manfred. While Manfred started shopping at Myers, we girls headed to go and queue in front of David Jones, hoping to get some sort of voucher or discount but unfortunately we did not get cause we were not the first 100. :(

Anyway, the most interesting story would be to get ready to rush to the bags area of DJs. David Jones got Natalie Imbruglia to officiate the sale. I got a few snaps of her, she really look good in real life. :P





Anyway, I spent buying some clothes, bags (one really ex one), presents for my family and a juicer!! There goes the money!!! :(

Christmas Party - 22nd December 2007

I know this update is rather late.. but better late than never?? :P

Well, this is the first year celebrating Christmas in Sydney for me and therefore with my hobby of loving to bake and cook.. i decided to organise a Christmas Party the weekend before Christmas with everything prepared by ME from scratch!! It took me 3 days to prepare everything and i must say after the night, I turned to have OCD-ness and extra muscle added to my right hand.

The Menu was:

1. Cheese Fondue - Crackers and Sausages as dippers
2. Mayo-Peach Chicken Dip
3. Tandoori Pappadams - tandoori chicken on pappadams
4. Coleslaw
5. Mashed Potato
6. Sticked Nuggets
7. Pasta - Red sauce Chicken Spiral Pasta
8. Turkey Ham - with black pepper and mushroom sauces
9. Seafood Fried Rice
10. Beef Lasagna
11. Chocolate Marshmallow & Vanilla Raisin Cupcakes
12. Christmas Brownies
13. Cheesecakes - New Yorker Style
14. Drink- Lychee, Longan & Pineapple Mocktails

Adding into the Christmas feel, I had a slightly-taller-than-me Christmas tree which amazingly I bid it from ebay for AUD$1!! At the same time with a little other feel of Snow Spray on the window and red and green deco. I guess I would say it's a good and successful event that I did.

-limited photos taken.. so whoever have more, send to me?? -

I would definitely need to thank Pek Lynn for helping with all the food on the day itself as with her extra hand, things go on according to time well. Thanks to Angeline for the deco she helped me to add the last hour before the party start. Thanks to Joy for helping me entertaining the guests. And not to forget, thanks to Dominic for sending me get Halal meat the day before. LASTLY, thanks to everyone - about 30 of you-who came to the party.. without you all the party won't be a blast. Thanks to some who brought drinks and chocolates and alcohols.. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

If you ask me when is next round? ahha.. maybe CHINESE NEW YEAR?? CHAP GOH MEH?? See whether I really have another round of partying :P

Updates.. after a long while...

It's been a while since I last blogged. Funny to say, many things happen and I managed to achieve many things. I made a couple of great creation in terms of food, cakes and desserts.

1) First attempt of fondant icing
Angeline and I tried making a mini cake of fondant as we planned to make one for Ru Jih's 18th Birthday. This was done a week before her party.

2) After that, we have some balance cakes crumbs and Angeline did tiramisu in cups.

3) A few days later, Yien Von and I thought of making 'Loh Mee' and I attempted doing 'Tang Yuen'.



So far, every attempt have been quite successful and I had Lynn tried it and was glad that she loved it. The noodle is not the best. Could be better I guess.

4) Ru Jih's Birthday Party



We did some cupcakes of vanilla raisins and chocolate-white choc chips. Angeline did the batter, I did the icing design. The icing would be good if it's thicker.



This is the 2 tier chocolate cake that is coated with pink fondant, her favorite colour. We also did about 2 portion of curry puffs.

At the party, the birthday girl is so happy. We decorate the Coogee BBQ hunt area with pink stuff and the birthday girl was in her lovely pink dress too. Funny about her, she keep wanting to give us something in return for helping her with her party but we just enjoyed doing it. At the end she gave us something we didn't want to accept. So, Ru Jih, don't need to pay us the cost of the stuff we did la. DEAL k? :P


Anyway, I have my Nintendo DS Lite already. Yay!! And this few days, I went shopping with Yien Von and did buy some baking utensils too. I might be doing more in the future.

I hope Shaheera, Sunny and Zek and whoever who tried the vanilla cupcakes I did, enjoy the cupcakes? I will make more? ahha..

That's all for now, I'll be back!! :P
