Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak 2023

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak 2023

It’s June again! How time flies?!?! It’s that time of the year again! Gawai! It also means it’s a long weekend for those in Sarawak (provided you are not working on Saturday). So, what’s your plan for this long weekend?

Here’s a photo of me in a white Bidayuh costume that was taken back in 2018. It was taken at the Sarawak Cultural Village and the costume was also from them. This was my first time wearing the Bidayuh costume even though I’m half-Bidayuh.

Thanks to a friend who got me this opportunity. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos for the session as the photos were meant to be for the company that sponsored this photo session. I’m just the model. The one I’m sharing here is the one posted by the photographer on his personal Facebook page.

Anyway, wishing you a very happy and blessed Gawai Dayak. Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak! Have a safe celebration. Don’t drink and drive. Take care!

Wishing you all a very blessed Lunar New Year. It’s the year of the rabbit.

Happy Lunar New Year 2023

I’ve been quite occupied these days. Made quite a number of CNY cookies and snacks. Didn’t plan to make so many but ended up making so many haha! Here are some of them. Will share the recipe individually next time.

Meanwhile, here are two that I’ve posted recently:

Simple Fried Crunchy Seaweed Snack
Easy Air Fryer Crunchy Meat Floss Spring Roll
Easy Crunchy Crab Stick Snack

If you want to try to do some CNY goodies, you can check out this post 8 Easy Recipes for CNY that I posted last year.

On the other note, I’m going to be slow in updating this month and next month. Not sure when will be the next post coming. However, you will find daily updates on my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Meanwhile, there will be weekly updates on Youtube and XHS.

Till then, take care!

Easy Air Fryer Crunchy Meat Floss Spring Roll (Popiah)

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Easy Air Fryer Crunchy Meat Floss Spring Roll (Popiah)

Have been busy since the new year started. Lunar new year in less than two weeks’ time! As usual, I’ll bake the mini popiah with an air fryer. It’s much easier with an air fryer or oven. Deep-fried is a no-no as it will be very oily. You just need spring roll pastry sheets, meat floss of your choice, and cornstarch+water as the “glue”. Next, air fry it for 20 minutes at a temperature of 140 degrees Celsius. Give it a stir or shake at mid-cycle. Do check out the video for more details.

How are your preparations for the Lunar New Year this year? I’ve done 5 types of snacks this year. Few more to go. If you want to try to do some CNY goodies, you can check out this post 8 Easy Recipes for CNY that I posted last year.

Happy New Year 2023!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy New Year 2023!

Happy New Year 2023 to all of you!

How fast?! Where did 2022 go? It’s 2023 now! Today is the second day of 2023 already. In 20 days’ time, the Lunar New Year will be coming. I will be busy baking and making some new year’s goodies these few weeks.

2022 was well… I don’t know… It’s too fast for me to process. What’s most important is that I’ve got through the year peacefully. I do not reflect too. What’s done is done. Move on!

There won’t be resolutions for 2023. I don’t do any. I will go with the flow and act accordingly. Why stress yourself with all those resolutions? *shrug* Most important is having an uneventful life. Peaceful, quiet, and healthy.

Just a quick post today.

Here’s my post on Instagram yesterday haha… These photos were taken with Realme C35 “smile shutter” feature. It’s pretty fun. Save so much time on selfies. I did do post-processing with AirBrush app.

Once again, wishing you a blessed new year!

Hello from the new server…

Posted on By sweet surrender

Hello all! The new URL of Sweet Surrender is irenelaw.com

My last update was in early June on the old server on the old URL.

Now, it’s almost the end of June. I’m on a new server already. Just got the database moved. Fixed whatever was needed and whatever I could salvage. I no longer have anything before 2006 on this new server as the broken resources is just too much to fix because it was coded purely from scratch instead of using a CMS.

Now, it’s tweaking the design (need to change the font because the default font of this theme can’t support Chinese characters and some symbols) and some other stuff of this blog. Hopefully, all will be settled soon. Too busy with so many things. Meanwhile, you can check out other social platforms of mine, I update there daily.
