Why Don’t You Blog About Your Relationship?

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Why Don’t You Blog About Your Relationship?

As the title of the post. I did get this question from time to time from some readers in e-mail.

If you notice, I don’t blog about my relationship in my blog ever since the passing my late-bf years ago except the stories of us last time.

I’m not revealing anything but if you do follow my blog well that includes the comment section, there might be hints of my current state of relationship *LOL* So… Are you going to dig around? Are you that busybody? Hahaha… You won’t know in my Friendster or Facebook too coz I’m forever in the state of “It’s complicated” ;p

If you think some of my emo posts are related to my relationship, sad to day, it’s not even though it sounded like it. It’s about some other stuffs.

Well… I don’t blog about it, there’s only two reasons. One, there’s none to blog about. Two, it’s not the time to reveal my love life to the world. Choose one. Whichever you like, it won’t make a difference at all as I’m not going to write anything about it until maybe one day.

Some people might know which state I’m in but most don’t in real life too because should I say I’m good in hiding or pretending or sending the wrong signals be it attached or otherwise *LOL* Whatever…

Oh well… If you are wondering just like some readers, that’s all I can say about it ;p

So many exam notes to memorize… GAH!

Oh… Today’s date is 10/04/10.

Enjoy your weekend!

Dessert Paradise

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Dessert Paradise


Went to Dessert Paradise at Precinct 88, Jalan Song(at the same row of Cosway, the same building as Starbucks) with my friend to do some gossiping few days ago ;p. It’s there since last year(if not mistaken) but never got the chance to go until that day.

The lighting in there was weird. One section yellowish, one section blueish, another section reddish. We sat at the red lighting section, that explains the odd colour of the desserts we had. It’s hard to take photo without flash with the lighting.


Left: Aloe vera, fungus, and red dates soup (RM4). The smell was so sweet but when drank it, it’s not sweet at all.

Right: Hot glutinous balls aka tang yuan (RM4). The soup is actually luo han guo soup. The bowl contained not only 3 tang yuan with filling(you can choose the filling you want, I asked them to give me assortment of the tang yuan) but also some red dates and longan. Smelt sweet too but not so sweet when drank it. It was just nice.

Would love to visit the place again even though I don’t quite like the lighting ;p They have many fancy desserts for you to try. Price wise, the drinks are a bit high but other desserts seemed not so bad.

By the way, the menu got no English translation just in case you’re thinking of going and you don’t read Chinese. Also, they are not open on Monday.

p/s: Just realized the name is wrong in the photo.

Cellnique Earth CampaignRemember I had blogged about Cellnique products before?

Check out Cellnique Earth on Facebook. They are having quiz running on a daily basis in conjunction of Earth Day and you get to win samples from those quizzes. Quickly check it out before it’s too late.

Besides that, this is a good time to check out Cellnique official site because they are having some promotions such as you can now get Cellnique Contour De-Puffy Jewel which I reviewed before at only USD50 instead of USD54!

By the way, I’m not paid for this, I just want to share it with you especially on the winning some samples part.

Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang

We don’t really collect or purposely collect cookbooks. Just happened that we have a collection of them by getting them as free gifts and old subscription of monthly cookbooks that my mom used to subscribe more than 20 years ago but we seldom try out the recipes ;p. Usually just see, see, look, look, and drool over it.

This is the latest collection to our collection, Oo… Ha! Favourites of Sarawak by Vincs Huang (bilingual edition).

I got this from joining a contest conducted by Borneoboy by submitting my experience queuing for donuts ;p

You can find many Sarawak signature food in there from some communities in Sarawak but it’s a bit disappointing that there’s no Sarawak Laksa or Kueh Chap or Cha Kueh recipe in there. The recipes featured in there are all from popular eateries in Kuching. Just to name a few, Lok Thian, Chia Heng, and It-Hng.

Besides recipes, there are also articles in there introducing food and places of interest of Sarawak.

My mum does cook most of the recipes in there and those that she doesn’t know how or require a lot of preparations, we would just buy. Makes life easier hahaha…

Nevertheless, it’s one interesting cookbook for our collection as we don’t have any that is dedicated to Sarawak.

Thanks Borneoboy for organizing the contest. 🙂

Be Bold & Go Bald

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Be Bold & Go Bald

Is Irene going bald this year for Go Bald 2010?

Ummm… Sorry to disappoint you… I’m not. Me not bold enough to go bald. If you are then good for you! Let me know if you are, I can help you get fund via my blog. No guarantee will raise any money but no harm trying 🙂 So… What is this all about?


Attended Go Bald press conference yesterday at tHe Spring. Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society is back with its second “Go Bald” event that will be held on May 16, 2010 at North Court, tHe Spring.


This is the second year they are doing it and hoping to get more people to join in this campaign to create awareness of childhood cancer and offer moral support. Also to raise RM1 million for the construction of a new SCCS centre to provide an unprecedented level of care and support.


SCCS deputy chairman of fundraising Wong Kok Ping (seated left) and SCCS president Gary Ho (seated right) were shaven bald at the press conference at tHe Spring yesterday. They were the first two to kick start the event.

Last year Kenny and Gette raised fund thru’ their blogs and went bald. Good for them.

You don’t have to buy tickets for food fair, all you need to do is offer to go bald for the cause. Just offer your hair if you can’t contribute any money, of course if you can contribute some money it would be great.

Another way is that you might want to set a target amount of money that you want to donate and tell your friends and family about it. Let them donate and if you reach the amount, you go get your head shaved on 16th May. Even if you don’t get the targeted amount, you can also still get your head shaved. It’s up to you on how you want to be a part of this campaign. Just be creative, your hair will grow back eventually.

That said… I should set an example myself, it would be more exciting right? Eeekk… Sorry… Not me. I’ll just help in creating awareness and let you bold people out there take part in it ;p
