Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Sarawak Chinese Slang Season 2 is Up!

It’s been awhile. Finally I got the second season of Sarawak Chinese Slang series up! Was procrastinating to do it until I realized I’m running out of things to vlog. There will be another 16 slang to share with you. Was thinking of doing it in a different way but I don’t have the resources for it, so for now it’s back to how it was done in Season 1.

Anyway, this is the introduction episode:

This is the first episode 😉

New episode will be up every Wednesday, 3pm on my YouTube channel. Feel to free to subscribe, hope I can reach 200 subscribers this year 🙂 If you have subscribed, thanks.

Unbox & Try One Leaf Limited Edition Beauty Fresh Mask from China

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Unbox & Try One Leaf Limited Edition Beauty Fresh Mask from China

If you’ve been a fan of Chinese reality show, One Leaf facial mask will definitely be no stranger to you. They’ve been big sponsors for those shows. I was given the mask by a friend from Beijing who came for visit last year. I finally opened it up and used it. It’s surprising good! The quality is even better than many other brands. The essence is generous, no dripping, not sticky, very thin, smooth, durable, and adhere to the face well.

I’ve used facial mask made in China before(also given by friend), they were not really nice, the quality was not up to my standard in terms of the texture and thickness of the mask and how it’s being packed inside.

Check out this video to see how it looks like and I’ve also included my take in the video.

How to Prepare Hai Di Lao Self-Heating Hot Pot (海底撈懶人自煮自熱小火鍋 )? Only Need Water!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Prepare Hai Di Lao Self-Heating Hot Pot (海底撈懶人自煮自熱小火鍋 )? Only Need Water!

Have you ever try self-heating hot pot? It’s been around for few years, finally I got to try it out myself. Pretty interesting.

The first one I bought was spicy beef tripe flavour. Not bad, I really like the tofu strips, beef tripe, and the spicy hot pot base. The crackers is quite nice too but I do not recommend you to add it into the hot pot, just eat it on its own. In fact all the ingredients provided are cooked and vacuum packed except the tofu strips. The heat generated by the self-heating pack is enough to heat them all up and cook the tofu strip. You can share this with 2 or 3 people and paired it with plain rice. Very flavourful, tastes exactly like the mala hot pot you have in hot pot restaurant. Even though it is spicy, it is not too spicy for me. If you can’t handle spiciness, then this flavour is definitely not for you. Check out the unboxing and the preparations in this video 😉

The next one is tomato chicken flavour. This one is not spicy. The broth is more on the sweeter side with subtle sour taste, a bit too sweet for my liking though. I also don’t like the chicken meat texture, it’s just werid hmm… The rest are OK. Here’s my unboxing and preparations video 🙂

Before I end this post, I must stress that DO NOT TOUCH the self-heating pack with wet hand or when it is already in the water. You are going to burn yourself! I watched quite a number of people unboxing this hot pot and handled the self-heating pack dangerously. Also, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before you start! Different flavour has different sequence in unpacking the ingredients into the container.

Have fun trying it and let me know what do you think.

My Experience with 5D Diamond Embroidery (Diamond Painting)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on My Experience with 5D Diamond Embroidery (Diamond Painting)

I’ve been wanting to post about this since 2018 and guess what?!?! I’ve totally forgotten about publishing hahaha…

If you have noticed back in 2018(doubt you even remember or have seen it, it’s 2020 now!), I’ve been making quite a few 5D diamond embroideries and shared it on my social media accounts(Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter). Many people were wondering about it, it looked fun and they would love to try.

Let me share my experience with you. The key components of the embroidery set made up of:

1. A canvas with your preferred image, the areas to stick the resin diamonds are sticky.
2. Packs of resin diamonds for you to stick on the canvas.
3. A tray for you to pour the resin diamond when you work on the canvas.
4. A drill with a piece of sticky patch for you to pick up the resin diamond so that you can easily fill the canvas with it.


It’s not hard to do, all you need it a lot of patience and time. It is pretty addictive too once you got the hang of it.

What you need to bear in mind is to make sure you don’t soil the sticky area, otherwise the resin diamonds will not stick. Normally I did it by colour rather than by area. Do not remove the layer of plastic completely, only reveal the part where you want to work with. Cover the plastic back after you’re done with the part so that those area that you’ve not work on will still stay sticky. Don’t rest anything or even your arm or wrist on the sticky part.

So far, I did 5 already. Framed them up too.


Try it out if you want to. Not too expensive when you buy it online. It’s so much easier than cross-stich. No need to tinker with needle and it’s safe for children too. Just like colouring except you colour with resin diamonds. Here’s what I’ve done over the 7 months of 2018 hehehe…

By the way, I’ve stopped doing it already. I’ve given my last set to a friend as birthday present because I just can’t find time to do it anymore(just an excuse ;p). It can really take up your whole day doing it and continue on for days! The fun and enthusiasm will be gone if I can’t glue myself to it for hours and days. Once I got it all done, aside from feeling accomplished, I would feel guilty because I spent too much time on it. At least I’ve done 5 ;p You really need to control yourself and manage your time when you want to do this.
