Xixili Makes Me Happy

Aaahhh, there’s nothing like a good dose of shopping with the girlfriends to brighten my day. Especially during a lingerie sale.


I’m a complete sucker for xixili’s Lingerie collection. There’s no other way to describe it - I’m a girl and they’re just so preeeeeeeety.

A Breather


I'd like to share a wonderful article to everyone today.

What Happens in Heaven.

I gotta slow down.

My life is insanely crazy with activity. Everyday is a huge adventure. People. Parties. Dinners. Lunches. Gatherings. Shopping. Visiting. Organising. Cooking. Running the studio.

I just want a day where I do NOTHING.

I want to put my feet up. I want to remember how to be still. To contemplate and have meaningful thoughts. To remember that life is good. That things could be worse.

And that my little problems aren’t so bad in the bigger scale of things.

Exquisite Roast Vegetables


This is another of my favourite, healthy and very lazy meals.

Use any sort of vegetables. Egg plant, tomatoes, capsicum, red onions, pumpkin, sweet potato, baby carrots, beetroot, turnips. Add fresh herbs from the garden.

Drizzle lots of olive oil, salt, pepper.

Into a 180C oven for 1.5 hours.

Serving ideas: Toss with pasta. Serve with rice. Or pita bread. Or a bunch of fresh green salad.

Blue eyes

I've always wanted a cat in such a long time.

Guess what?

There was a blue eyes kitty appeared at my studio's staircase yesterday. She has cried for hours. Poor thing! I beg she must be starving.

She's tiny (just about a palm size), dirty and looks terrified. I've absolutely no ideas of taking care for cats, especially a kitty. Luckily my god brother Melvin is a cats lover, he's an expert and has three cats at home.

We straight away sent the kitty to my god father's house after work last night. Everybody was excited about the little one. We gave her some milk but she doesn't seems to like it. Then Mel gave her some mince tuna, she loves it so much!

We have brought her to doctor this morning, and decided to leave her at Melvin's place for the first week since she's being deworm. She's got a little infection on her eyes as well. It's better to let them take good care of her till she get well.

And I've just found out from the doctor that my little kitty is actually not a normal stray cat but a Blue Eyes Siamese!

Oh my sweet God it's October

Wooo, that was fun. But time consuming!

I’ve already had a few friends and family members ask me what my students want for Christmas. Aakk! It’s still OCTOBER! Damn you super-organised people.

Anyway, I decided to make an online Wish List of books, toys, and music for my little ones - and hopefully provide some direction for the kind-hearted. Ah, the internet is a wonderful thing.

Beautiful noon

I had a gorgeous afternoon chilling with my girls. It's been long enough since our last hang out.

We went for a drink at starbucks after K-section. Quin and Eve manage to catch a movie. But I couldn't join them because of class start at 4pm. *sniff*



Yet it's a wonderful day, thanks to you girls who had really made my day! *heart*

Here are some of my favorites.

Lesson time.

Wedding Dinner

This weekend I went to a wedding of some good friends of mine, Addy's eldest brother wedding. It was *SUCH* a lovely wedding. Their families and friends were already so intergrated with each other. It was a really nice feelings. There were also zillions of great stories ranging from the hilarious drunken ones to the sweetest romantic stories.

The wedding dinner was at the Grand Ball Room of Bukit Jalil Golf Club Resort. The food was fantastic, the music (Live band) was just perfect. I drank a few glass of red wines. I'm quite particular on wines but it was absolutely not bad at all.

We were on a table with excellent company - full of laughter, chatting, and crazy antics.

Anyway, the bride and groom looked great and extremely happy! The speeches from addy's dad were funny and touching. The MC did a great job. I ate sooooo much food. We had lots of laughs and took lots of photos. We had a fabulous time!

Random Things about Me

I love beautiful things. Art, design, photography, rocks, flowers, landscapes, pottery, jewellery, textures, colours, buildings, people.

I always wanted a tattoo on my back, but couldn’t find/design an image that I’d be happy with for the rest of my life.

I love reading. I think life is too short to read crap books, so I only read books that come highly recommended. I like reading from all genres. Trashy chick lit, hard-core sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers, crime, classics.

I enjoy keeping healthy and active. I like taking walks, jogging, swimming and being outdoors. I’d like to do a bit more scuba diving, snorkeling, kick boxing, and Latin dancing. I also like the occasional game of squash, netball, soccer, tennis and beach cricket.

I enjoy crafty designy things. Ceramics, pottery, knitting, sewing, paper crafts, painting, printing, illustrating, drawing.

I love cooking! And eating. I get such a buzz from experimenting with food and recipes. I prefer fresh, healthy, low-fat, low-sugar foods. But I can’t live without dim sum, pizza, pasta, hamburgers, chocolate and KFC.

I can drink pretty well, and love alcohol but I'm not a drunker. Given a choice, I'd reach for a beer over wine and cocktails.

I’ve worked and studied in Singapore. It was great fun. But the crazy expat life wore me down, and I just wanted to come home to my mother’s cooking and the big Malaysia skies.

I’m a Christian. I reckon that God is cool, loving, down-to-earth and has an awesome sense of humour. But his PR people need to lift their game.

In my list of dating/relationship requirements, I really didn’t care about a guy’s look or race. It was all about confidence, stability, eloquence, a sense of humour and the ability to hold an interesting conversation. But so far I've only dated Asian guys.

I’ve always wanted at least three children. I love big families.

I love going out. Sitting in cafes, dancing in clubs, talking in bars, dining out, house gatherings, parties, barbecues, weddings, picnics! I also love an occasional trip to watch movies, theatre, musicals, symphonies, stand up comedy, rock concerts and live bands.

At the same time, I can’t think of anything more satisfying than sitting in front of TV, eating take-away, lights down low, in my pyjamas and watching crap on TV. I’m a home girl at heart.

Basically, I strive to live a balanced life. Fun. Serious. Fast. Slow. Brainy. Bimbotic. Intense. Lazy. You get the drift.
