Dublin Arrival

Hey ya! hey ya!!

Had quite a short flight from Birm Int Airport to Dublin via Ryan Air. The flight was comfy and not pricey. :) We got ourselves quite a good deal.

I'm right now in Dublin, announcing my arrival!! :) Updates with pictures will come soon...

Lifehouse - Everything

Simple, yet good & meaningful. :)

Dashing through the snow ~♥

The Snow saga.. :) on the 17th December 2009

The snow lasted for only 10 minutes.. which forms a very thin layer of snow.

The first day of snow, we were all so so so excited! People in their flops came out with flops, with bathrobes - came out with bathrobes! haha

It snowed very heavily on the 5th January 2010.

The snow lasted throughout and it was really solid and thick!!

What thick snow we have! That's so rare in Brum!

Dash through the snow!!

Christmas in Birmingham

O yes, I know I know.. this post is long overdue. :)

There's this Frankfurt (German) Market fiesta throughout the Christmas month. I didn't get to visit it until the final 2 days.. 22nd & 23rd Dec 2009, phewh!! Was so busy with deadlines before that! :)

- Christmas Lightings and decos along Corporation Street -

In Bullring, christmas hangout with Yin Nee. :)

Frankfurt dines !!

Potato pancake

..with cinnamon topping. It's somewhat like sprinkling sugar on a hash brown. That's exactly what it taste like. :D

German Hotdog

Yin Nee and I bought 1 red sausage and 1 white sausage hotdog!! Both taste awesome!!! :) It's really really good!!!! Honestly!

I want more!!!! You can't find the same texture and taste anywhere else in Brum. whoa!! Worth a try!

German Burger, Mushroom and potato

The mushrooms are really really good!! whoa!! I love German food! haha

Yup, that's a summarised version of my Christmas month in Birmingham.. :) 

As always, food is great, lightings are lovely, decos are catchy.. hehe.. and most of all, people are spending! :) If I posted this up 2 weeks ago, I'll end this post with " MERRY CHRISTMAS" everyone. Since it's not the case, I shall say, "Hope you'd spent your Christmas well!!" :) take care!

Euro headstart.

Yippee dee doo!!

End of this month, I'll be heading to Dublin, Ireland - my first Europe destination. :) I'm finally going out of UK for the first time.. as in, since the day I stepped into UK. haha.. woohoo.. excited!! :)

Yeap, I'll be flying.. on Ryanair. :) Lots of prep to be done.. Tickets, Exchange of pounds to Euro.. etc.
Pray for a safe journey to, in & fro !! :)

A fresh look.. :)

I haven't log into my blog for, 1/2 a month, and yesterday I noticed the background of my blog went empty, plain white, rather than denim-y (my previous skin).. This is wrong. But I didn't know why.

So, I sourced my blog skin to sites I downloaded the template, and guess what, the website's dead.. AHhh... no wonder. And so that's why, My blog skin's gone. 

Not much choices I have in hand, and thus, I began the hunt for new blog skins. :) n yes, also re-doing the blog widgets which is honestly time consuming! 

After more or less 10 hours, the restoration of my blog is fully completed. *Wipe sweat* :) 

I tried something different this round.. something plain, something white. This isn't one of my usual blog skin choice. :) but I was thinking of giving my blog something fresh, since it's 2010. 

What do u think peeps? hehehe..

sss.... hot! Hot!

14th January 2010

I was opening the lid of a wok while steaming some stuff in it.... and poof goes the steam vent... giving me a real strong heat stain on my arm...

2 days passed, and the pain subside. But, the redness remains still..

sss.... hot!! hot!!

Kitchen kills boredom :p

All of us were still kinda in our post-holiday mood. Hence our motherly Melissa suggested 

some 'feminine' sessions on the 9th January 2010!! :) It was so fun!!! *wink*

SESSION 1: Cake Baking

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man,

Pat me a cake, as fast as you can.

Roll it and pat it, and mark it with a 'star' ★

Put it to the oven for 'Flat 6' and me!! :)

Oh yea.. we had no mixer.. So the ingredients stirring was a 'great' experience! hahaha.. We had to stir for approx 2 hours, taking turn. :D cool or what!

Before and after..The ★ due to the vast temperature difference in the oven and out :)

Spread with choc topping, let it cool ! :)

SESSION 2: Tong Shui

Jess made us "Hak Lo Mai" (in Cantonese)  - Black Glutinous Dessert.

SESSION 3: Garlic Bread Making

Melissa's secret recipe!! :) Her self-made garlic butter spread.

Ready..*drool*

Cooking was superb fun today!! Thanks Melissa, Jess, Yin Nee & Rachel!!! :)
