6 Weird Things

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on 6 Weird Things

Secret Recipe is only open for business on 20th April! Not today… It’s delayed…

WOW! I found a new hobby! And I spent almost USD100 on it -.-” Not revealing what it is yet 😛 Hehehe… That’s the luxury of having USD in Paypal, don’t know is good or bad. *SHRUG* Hope I can earn back this money with it.

OMG! Johan got married already! I’m sure many girls will be heart broken 😛 You can see his wedding photos in Friendster. Nevermind if you don’t know who he is *LOL* this is meant for my collegemates.

Got tagged by akho. Tagged me with 2 memes in one go -.-” Not tagging anyone. It will stop here hahaha…

Here are the rules:
Each one starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on.

1. Whenever I eat something like soup noodle, at the end the soup would be left behind and all the stuffs inside would be gone.

2. As everyone knows, I’m moneyface hahaha… Yet the strange thing is that I don’t know how to spend the money, if I have the money I don’t splurge on things, instead the first thing comes to me is that how to I make it into more money or keep it.

3. No matter which stage of life I’m in, there will always be a guy that is very close to me, as in best friend and most people would mistaken that he’s my boyfriend hahaha… It’s just all platonic. Well, I might admit there were a bit of crush or something but as time goes by it’s just as platonic as it can be.

4. I have a water bottle that I will always have next to me at home so that I can drink whenever I want without going to the kitchen to get a cup of water and then have to wash the cup after that. I’m just plain lazy besides I will not remember to drink any water if there is no water near me. So, this is the best way to get me to drink water hahaha…

5. Hmmm… I don’t think I’m the only weird one on this hehehe.. Most bloggers are especially those blogging about food. I will take picture of your food and ask you the name and the price when you dine with me hehehe… For those that know me, they’re used to it already, for those that don’t they will look at me in a very strange way and thinking to themselves, “Like that also want to take”.

6. My camera is usually not for taking photos of those hanging out with me but for stuffs like food, sceneries, and of course for self-portrait :P. I seldom ask people to pose for my camera that’s why many people is wondering why am I bringing camera around when I don’t take photos of them *LOL* I only do it when somebody brought it up or special occasion else I won’t take it out to shoot people hahaha… This might have offended some friends becasue they might be hoping to have photo taking session during our meetings since I bring a camera but at the end there isn’t any. *shrug* It’s not my habit to take photo of people, if you want to take photo might as well tell me else it will never cross my mind. That’s it. Don’t get too sensitive over it. Aiyooo…

Took me 3 days to come out with my 6 weird things. -.-“

Country Decastle

Posted on By sweet surrender 21 Comments on Country Decastle

Secret Recipe will be opening for business on 18th April. I’m definitely going on that day! HAHAHA!!! Cheeeeeeseeeeee… Cakessssssssss… *drool*

Actually we wanted to go to Bestberry to try ou their new menu but forgot that Monday is their off day hahaha… So we ended up at Country Decastle. It’s situated at Jalan Song Thian Cheok sort of behind EON Bank and DHL. Previously it’s Dynasty (had my lunch there that fateful day of 2004, I almost spilt my drinks and spilt a spoonful of chili paste). Now it’s taken over by new management and the name is changed to Country Decastle Restaurant Sdn. Bhd.


Left: Decastle Ma-Lak Beef(RM6). Nothing special, just spicy beef with plain rice.
Right: Miss Strawberry(RM4), it’s just shake with chocolate rice and colourful sugar rice, and Ice Grape Tea(RM3).

Nothing special about this place.

Cheesy Spice Cookies

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Cheesy Spice Cookies

Here’s another cookie that I did for Chinese New Year.
Ingredients:
A
200g plain flour
30g corn flour
30g milk powder
1 teaspoon mixed spices(Make sure they are in powder form. I’m not sure you can buy them in powder form or not. If you can’t find them, then just buy the normal packet of mixed spice, then you heat them in the wok, make sure you stir it while it’s heating. If you feel that they are crispy enough already, then pound them or blend them into powder.)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

B
50g finely crushed cornflakes
50g grated cheese
200g butter/margerine
50g castor sugar
2 egg yolks

Instrcutions:
1. Sift together ingredients A; then stir in cornflakes; mix well and set aside.
2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg yolks and beat well.

3. Fold in mixture A and grated cheese.

4. Mix well until soft dough forms.
5. Roll the dough into a rod about 1 1/2 inches, then use the fork to make the pattern. It looks like a mini bun 😛 If you want to glaze it with egg yolk, you can do that aslo. I skipped that part. Or another way is using cookie cutter to get the shape that you like.

6. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree Celcius for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let it stand for 20 minutes.

This cookies is a bit more tedious but I love the cheeseeeeeeeeeeee… You can modified this recipe to make it a into Curry Cheese Cookies by replacing the spice powder with curry powder! This recipe uses a bit of sugar only therefore it’s not very sweet, if you like it sweeter then add a bit more sugar 😛 but don’t eat too sweet, reduce on the sugar intake is good for you.

Ornamental Fish & Pets Expo 2007(2)

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Ornamental Fish & Pets Expo 2007(2)

…Continue… Here kitty kitty kitty…
Couldn’t get nice shoot of them and they were all in not very good mood because it was so HOT!


Left: Persians. They seemed to like cameras 😛 but look “sien”(no mood) in the photo because they were very HOT!
Right: The small one is Malaysia Cat. The big one is European Burmese. Hmm… You’re European, then also a Burmese? Hmmm…


Left: British Shorthair. It didn’t move much, just sat there quietly.
Right: Scottish Fold & Scottish Shorthair. I have no idea which is which.


Left: Bengal. Looks like leopard.
Middle: Gossh… This one is ugly and it reminded me of Garfield. Sorry Garfield’s fans but Garfield is much cuter than this Exotic Shorthair.

Poor kitties… They were very HOT due to the weather. The owners kept directing the mist fans to their directions. These cats are so much luckier than human.

There will be a cat show/competition this Sunday. If you are interested, do go over for a visit but make sure you can stand the heat.
