tHe Spring Autumn & Winter Fashion Show 2009 – Xixili Pre-show

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on tHe Spring Autumn & Winter Fashion Show 2009 – Xixili Pre-show

Finally decided to go to tHe Spring yesterday for the launch of tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt and autumn & winter fashion show. I haven’t edit the photo for the launch, so I’ll blog about Xixili first but it’s not the fashion show, it’s the pre-show. Similar to previous fashion show, they had Q&A session and session to interact with the audience.


I did take part in the Q&A session, the second question ;p Answered the same question as the one I answered previously and I got it wrong again! *LOL* Seemed like I never learn from my mistake. It’s ground floor!! Not first floor, not second floor! Thanks to them, I still got the goodie bag that contained a BSE(breast self examination) t-shirt, Two Tough Cookies!

Then in second round, they wanted 20 ladies to go up the stage for a group photo. Since I won one earlier on, I was thinking that I might as well give others a chance but after seeing the content in the goodie bag, it’s different from the earlier one, I thought to myself, “don’t be greedy! you got one already!”. Who knows, not many volunteered to go up so I took the chance to go up, hehehe… Show some supports mar… Pity them kept asking people to go up and not many wanted to go up, all shy shy. *blek*

Before I went up the stage, somebody that was in-charged there told me she saw my photos in the previous fashion show. WAH! Paiseh…


The second goodie bag contained a manicure tool set and buy 1 free 1 bra voucher. Went to tHe Spring just now just to buy the bras hehehe… Actually I’ve been planning to get some new bras but haven’t got the chance/mood to get them yet. Since the voucher only valid till today(got it yesterday, and today is the last day -.-“), so I quickly went to buy. I got two new bras now! I’m a happy girl now! Will blog about it when I’m free, I’m quite impressed with them.


Here! Our group photo. I didn’t know which camera to look at, so many of them. Also didn’t know how long I have to smile until my face became so stiff ;p

This card was found in the goodie bags too. If you would like to know how to conduct breast self examination, just click on the picture below for bigger picture.

Actually this post is composed in conjunction of the pink ribbon campaign, October is Breast Cancer Month. I’m giving this post the priority so that I can share about BSE with you. Early detection is important! Early detection saves lives!

Happy Mid Autumn 2009

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Happy Mid Autumn 2009

Today is moon cake festival aka mid autumn festival. This is celebrated by the Chinese community on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calender every year.


Paid a visit to the Inter-Cultural Mooncake Festival long Carpenter Street, Ewe Hai Street, China Street, and Bishopgate Street with my family last night.


Not much stalls this year. Not many people too compare to previous years.

Bought some food there:

Left: Pork burger.
Right: Cotton candy.


Left: A pillar of cotton candy. It stood out from the crowd and stalls.
Right: Bought belacan bee hoon too.

How are you going to spend your mooncake festival this year? Nothing much for us, it’s just another day, had our mooncake since months back and no more left ;p



Some of the mooncake we bought. The box of mooncake was bought actually for my sister to bring back to UK. The rest you see here, we had eaten them last month.


This is one new type of mooncake that we bought, it’s called creamy milk tea. The brown part was lotus paste and the middle part was the part that had milk tea flavour. Nice or not? I don’t know! I’m not a mooncake lover but there’s really milk tea flavour in this mooncake.

Wish you all a happy mooncake festival and have fun!

Guilinggao

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Guilinggao


My aunt bought few containers of guilinggao back few months back. It’s not the usual type, it came with a small container of syrup(honey+fruit juice) for you to mix it with the guilinggao and this is flavoured guilinggao. Best served chilled.

Managed to try 4 different types of flavours: original, sweet osmanthus(gui hua), ginseng, and fructus momordicae(luo han guo). All were OK except sweet osmanthus(gui hua), it’s a bit sourish, I don’t like.

I remember last time I had guilinggao before and it stained my teeth, only managed to remove the stain after brushing my teeth. After that, I don’t dare to eat too much.

If you want to learn more about guilinggao, you can check out wiki for it.

Guīlínggāo is a Chinese medicine that is traditionally made with the powdered shell from the critically endangered three-lined box turtle (金錢龜) and China roots (土伏苓; Smilax glabra). It is also eaten as a dessert, made in the form of a jelly. Commercially available guīlínggāo are always sold as a dessert and do not contain turtle shell powder (despite the prominent turtle images on most brands). They do, however, share the same herbal additives as the medicine and are similarly marketed as being good for skin complexion when ingested.

KFC Cheezy Chickaroni

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on KFC Cheezy Chickaroni

When it was first introduced I didn’t bother to try it out but after hearing some good feedbacks about it, I decided to try it out but they no longer selling it. Now… It’s back!


It’s good! I like it but too bad I was in a rush that day so I only had few mouths of it, the rest was finished up by my family.

The cheese used was the same as Cheezy wedges. If you love Cheezy wedges then you would love this too. You could find meatballs in there besides macaroni. It’s quite a filling dish even though it seemed very small in portion.

If I’m not mistaken, this set cost RM5+ came with a regular cup of soft drink.
