Back to tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009. This time is from Padini Concept Store.

I never buy anything from Padini Concept Store here ;p However, I bought a necklace from the store in Sunway Pyramid last year.

Almost bought a pair of Vincci heels here for CNY but it’s too expensive so I didn’t buy. Luckily I didn’t buy, few months later, I saw the heels was discounted, 50%! Phew…

Anyway, I spotted some nice heels there but not in the mood to buy anything for now coz I don’t need it and not in my budget range, wait for discount first ;p

La Beaut̩ Expo (LBE) 2009 РMaison Monica Makeup Show

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on La Beaut̩ Expo (LBE) 2009 РMaison Monica Makeup Show


As promised, the photos of Maison Monica Makeup Show at La Beauté Expo last Friday night. So hard to take photos, the lighting was really bad. It gave this purplish tinge to all my photos, ewww…

We thought that we were late but was right on time.

The stage and the lighting were really not up to my expectation.

Seriously, why is the stage looking like this? -.-” I think this is the worst stage set up I’ve come across covering so many events. Sorry to say so but this is the fact.

Really pitied the models too. I was worrying throughout the whole show that they might step on their own gowns and fall. It’s not helping also with the stage being so narrow. Scary…

Anyway, enjoy the photos.

La Beauté Expo (LBE) 2009

Just a quick update on this. I went there last night to catch the stage show, Maison Monica – Makeup Show.


Before we went in, we had to register ourselves. There are many booths not only from local merchants but also from outstation. Kinda impressed with it at first. Later when I reached the stage, it was disappointing -.-”


Anyway, I’m given with TRADE sticker instead of VISITOR hahaha… In fact I was kinda blur actually. Simply filled in the form and left my name card and automatically they gave me this sticker. I should have just tell them I’m there for a visit only ;p Don’t care…

Also got a SISTERS magazine, April issue. I thought it’s May issue duh~ They have 4000 copies to giveaway for first 4000 visitors.

Oh! One good news for Loreal users, go get your products stock up if you want because they are having 20% discount!! Not bad. I would have get something there but I don’t have anything to stock up now so there is no point to buy.

There’s still today and tomorrow. Go check it out if you want.
Date: 8th – 10th May 2009
Time: 10AM – 9PM
Venue: 5th Floor, Permata Exhibition Hall, Kuching, Sarawak

Lots of photos from the stage show to filter, will update about it when I’m free. Having full swing class today -.-” No public holiday for me. As if public holiday got anything to do with me, holiday or not, makes no difference to me now.

tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009 – Esprit

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on tHe Spring Spring & Summer Fashion Show 2009 – Esprit

The third fashion show on last Saturday was by Esprit. Was told that the outfits they’re wearing were the same as those on Friday night. I missed the one on Friday night because I already had plan with my friends so had to let go of the chance to be the invited guest. I heard invited guests got a pair of sandals in their goodie bags that night ;p

Anyway, fashion from Esprit.


This brand is too expensive for me. Believe it or not, I had never step into this shop since the beginning. However, I did visit this shop before in KL. Still I came out empty handed. Seeing the prices is enough to make me break cold sweats.

I know… Compare to some other brands, this is still cheaper but mind you, I don’t buy branded clothes. All my clothes are below RM50, even just RM50, I also had to think twice whether to buy or not. With my standard, how is it possible for me to say this is cheap? -.-“

Glutinous Rice Ball With Soya Bean Milk

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Glutinous Rice Ball With Soya Bean Milk

I don’t really like the usual tang yuan or glutinous rice ball but I like those with fillings especially with peanut.

Went shopping the other day with my parents and I saw this frozen glutinous rice ball (RM4+) and decided to buy one to try.

It’s very easy to cook this. Great for lazy people like me ;p Just take out from the freezer, boil a pot of water, put the rice balls in and wait until they float. Add sugar to the water to taste.


Be careful though… They burst easily once they’re cooked as you can see in the photo, there are some peanuts in the syrup.

I really like it. Quick and easy.

Anyway, what I shared earlier is the lazy way. There’s a recipe provided at the back of the packet. I’ll share it here with you, also as a reference for myself:

Ingredients:
2 packets of glutinous rice ball
250gm soya beans
15 cups of water (I have no idea 15 cups refer to big, medium or small cup, I guess if you want it thick then use medium or small else use big cups for more diluted soya milk)
Sugar (depending on how sweet you want it to be)

Instructions:-
Make soya bean milk:

  1. Wash soya beans and soak it overnight.
  2. Blend the soya beans by adding water until it turns into liquid paste.
  3. Boil remaining water.
  4. Pour the soya bean paste into the boiled water and stir frequently until boil.
  5. Filter the boiled soya bean milk.
  6. Boil it again for 5 minutes.

If you want to save time or feel lazy, maybe just go to the market to buy the ready made soya bean milk will do. It’s the same thing. Not the box one OK? However, if you want to use the one from the box, I don’t think it’s wrong at all. It’s up to you.

Prepare glutinous rice balls:

  1. Take out from the freezer.
  2. Boil a pot of water.
  3. Put the rice balls in and wait until they float.

Serve:
Serve the glutinous rice balls with the soya bean milk. Add sugar to taste.
