If most of you had noticed, I had changed my blog header. I’m still using the cartoon drawn by Eggyolks after so many years, it’s just too cute! Thanks for the cartoon!

I’m supposed to change the whole template but couldn’t find one that can fulfill my needs. Hence, just a change of the header. Some of you might also have noticed that I had changed my blog title too after using it for so many years until I lost count, about 4-5 years.


In order to gain back some momentum in blogging, I had started an FB page for this blog too. I know… I’m late… Should have done it years ago but that time I didn’t see the need of it and felt that it’s a bit too much for small time blogger like me to have one even though many of my blogging friends all had set up theirs back then. However, it’s high time now to have one for publicity and marketing purpose if I want to jump back into this industry. Really cannot underestimate the power of social media.

Come and Like my FB page (http://www.facebook.com/irenelaw.sweetsurrender) hehehe… Need the support, the more the merrier! Who knows if there is enough people, I might conduct some giveaways or contests from time to time. This will only be possible if I have enough supporters to convince the sponsors.

For those who had already liked my page, thank you very much! This little gesture is big enough for me. Thanks again!

Do follow me on Twitter too if you will ;p http://twitter.com/irenelaw

I wanted to go on Instagram too but my phone does not have one. Too bad… Maybe should change my phone, it’s been years too hahaha but again… Not now, I’m practically jobless now, where got such money to spend when I had just replaced my laptop 2 months back!

Happy Malaysia Day! Hope you guys are enjoying the long weekend. Time to go back to work and school tomorrow.

Paris and England Trip (20/6/2013-2/7/2013) – Part 14

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Paris and England Trip (20/6/2013-2/7/2013) – Part 14

Before we headed to our accommodation, we made one final stop at Birmingham. Supposed to join the late night shopping crowd but nothing to buy, nothing fancied us in this city.

Left: St Martin’s Church.
Middle: My sister called this Mentos hahaha… It’s actually Selfridges building.
Right: Part of the major shopping mall which also housed Debenhams.


The Bull Ring is a major commercial area of Birmingham.


Even the bull sculpture was made up of jellybeans in Selfridge! Impressive! After that, we went to Chinatown in Birmingham to hunt for dinner. It’s not far, only walking distant from Bull Ring.



We had Malaysian food at Malaysian Delight Restaurant (8 Ladywell Walk, Birmingham, West Midlands B5 4ST, United Kingdom).

I don’t remember the exact name and price because I didn’t bother anymore. Too lazy hahaha…

Left: Steamed chicken.
Right: Japanese tofu with vegetables.


Left: Buttered prawn.
Right: Beef with kailan.


Left: “Wat dan mai fun”.
Right: Fried rice.

Overall, the food was ok but nothing to rave about it. My favourite was the buttered prawn simply because I’m a fan of buttered prawn *LOL*.

After dinner, we went to check-in Travelodge at one of the highway, I don’t remember the location of it as the next day we were going to drive to London. That Travelodge was horrible -.-” Very dusty and old. The door handle came off at one of our rooms and they couldn’t fix it so they had to change a new room for us.

That’s the end of day.

Kebaya & I

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Kebaya & I

It’s been a very long time not posting my camwhoring photos in my blog. Mostly it’s on my Twitter.

My very first kebaya my mom bought for me in Melaka. Actually I was contemplating whether to get it or not but at the end my mom said she’ll buy it for me and asked me to choose. This is my first traditional costume also! Hmm… Maybe should get a cheongsam next time hehehe…

Was rather surprised that it fitted so well on the shoulder part and the length was just nice. However, we had to get them to make a bit of alterations on the waist area as it was a bit too big even though the size was SS, smallest adult size they have. This whole set costs RM150 (if I recall correctly) exclude the singlet inside. I didn’t buy the brooch, I just temporarily clipped it with my hair clip ;p

So… Where should I be wearing this to otherwise it will be stored in the plastic bag for God-knows-how-long.

P/S: Lots of editing done because I didn’t wear any makeup, just plain bare face after coming out from shower, even the hair wasn’t styled, it was the just-came-out-from-shower hair too *LOL*

Paris and England Trip (20/6/2013-2/7/2013) – Part 13

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Paris and England Trip (20/6/2013-2/7/2013) – Part 13

29/6/2013, wow! More than two months ago, almost 3 months still haven’t complete my post ;p


The next day, it’s another road trip which also indicated that our trip is coming to an end real soon.


Scenery on the way to Bowness Bay where Windermere, England largest lake, can be found.



The lake… We are near to the town.


We’re here! See the lake behind?


Another kind of view.



We tried the ice cream there, heard it was good. No doubt, yes! It was good! Very rich and smooth. We tried the one at Windermere Ice Cream Co. (Chestnut Rd, Windermere LA23 2AL, United Kingdom). I don’t remember the flavours or even the price as I wasn’t the one buying it. I was too busy taking photos and enjoying the view. Lots of shops selling various types of candies along the street (pictures on the left).


Even shops selling soap, candles, all sort of aromatherapy products, spices, and various types of alcohol from the lake district can be found there. These are soaps! Goodness, looks yummy! Smells yummy too! ;p Thought of buying them but at the end I didn’t. Instead I bought 3 miniature bottles of Strawberry Bank Fruit Liqueurs hehehe… Not for drinking, just as souvenir.


It’s lunch time, we had our lunch at Hyltons Restaurant (Ash Street, Bowness-on-Windermere, LA23 3EB, England).



Left: Steak and Ale Pie (£9.75), succulent British beef in rich beer gravy topped with a short crust pastry lid and served with vegetables, and potatoes. Careful! The content is hot! Very rich and succulent indeed.

Right: Seafood Pasta (£12.95), Clams. Mussels, Prawns, Green lip Mussels, served in a Garlic & White Wine Sauce. Not bad! I like it. Not too much sauce, it was just right.


Left: Bangers & Mash (£9.75), local Cumberland sausage with creamy mashed potato and a rich onion gravy. Love the sausage.

Right: Pork belly (£11.95), slow roasted belly pork served with creamy mashed potato, and an apple cider sauce. I like this too, the pork belly just melted in the mouth. Combined with the apple cider sauce, it balanced out the oiliness.

Overall, the food was great, price was reasonable.


After lunch, we went to Pasty Presto (Royal Square, Lake Road, Bowness-on-Windermere LA23 3DB) to get some pies in case we need to eat something while driving for about 3 hours to our accommodation to call it a day. These are award winning pies but I’m really not a pie person especially pie with meat filling (except curry puff hehehe…) so I didn’t really enjoy them.


Not to forget, this shop, Peter Rabbit and Friends. Finally get to see it in real life after reading its storybooks and watching its cartoon when I was still a child. Didn’t buy any souvenir from here though. Didn’t really visit the actual site, no time at all. This is the gift shop but it’s good enough. If you are wondering what is the relationship between this place and this storybook? I’ll just tell you briefly. The Lake District’s natural beauty and abundant wildlife had inspired Beatrix Potter to come out with the characters and setting of the story.

That’s the end of our road trip for the day.
