Work’s been crazy lately have had no time to update anything!!! So here’s a quick one:

1. Merry Christmas to everyone!!
2. Merv and I have been dating for one year! (that was on 15-Dec) :D
3. We celebrated by going for a buffet at parkroyal and spa at Danai spa! (more on that later)
4. I have (finally) joined a gym!
5. …to be updated when i think of something else :P…

Ciao!

I’ve been addicted to reading blogs on beauty and makeup for some time now :D Love reading about the gazillion types of beauty products out there, beauty tips (yes, I am vain), and of course, reviews from people who’ve actually tried out the stuff.

One of my favourite blogers is Paris B and she writes a blog called My Women Stuff which I check out almost everyday! She’s got a really fun style of writing and I love reading her posts on makeup and beauty (although most of the time I’m too kiamsiap to get the products and try out myself - haha).

Paris has come up with fabulous christmas giveaways for her readers, and it is really easy to enter! Here’s the link to her post: My Women Stuff Christmas Giveaway. Just follow the instructions there. I’ve been lusting after a Roo-tote for ever so long and am keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll win! :D

Good luck!

Update: I didn’t win the Roo-tote after all! Looks like I’ll have to get it the old-fashioned way then :P But thanks a lot to Paris for running such a yummy givewaway! :)

No… no… hold on to your panties… I’m not getting married… not yet anyway *grin* (i can just hear Merv heaving a sigh of relief)

However, I’ve been invited to no less than FOUR weddings in December!!! o_O

Maybe everyone is trying to get married in 2008 (eight = fatt = prosperity) cos it’s auspicious…? Or maybe it’s just that the people my age are starting to settle down…? *sweat* Pressure… pressure…

Wedding dinners have become such a normal affair these days, and they usually follow quite a ’standard’ formula - nice hotel, gawdawful over-the-top performance by hotel staff during the first course (it’s usually compulsory, unfortunately), speeches, toasts (okla, these two are normal la), entertainment… It’s all so formal… y’know?

Me I want a party! :D I want a wedding dinner party where I can actually have FUN with my close friends and family. I want dancing! I want to be able to actually interact with all my guests. I want an actual celebration!!! :D

Eh, what do you people think about themed weddings? :D Would it even work here in Malaysia? I mean, if you have a retro-themed wedding but everyone turns up in formal dinner clothes - it would be abit… sad, right?

Didnt feel like going out for lunch today so Merv and I rummaged around in the fridge for something we could cook. This was how I used to cook when I was a student - get pot, throw in chicken stock, throw in whatever’s available, and voila! Lunch. Or dinner :)

Today, we had on hand: Egg noodles, frankfurters, choi sam (veggie), carrots and golden needle mushrooms (the stringy ones with little caps on top).

The finished product:

I’m domestically challenge so I’m quite proud of this effort haha. Nothing like the tempura that Merv cooked up of course *wink*.

Wouldn’t that make the title of a great song? :D
To the tune of My Baby Just Cares For Me:

My baby just cooked for me
My baby just cooked for me
My baby chopped carrots for me…
My baby whipped up a bowl’a tempura
My baby fried up some prawns in the batt-ah……

Here’s a video from U-tube with Nat King Cole singing My Baby Just Cares For Me. I prefer this version to the Nina Simone one, although that one’s fun too :)

So yes, we had tempura for dinner. Carrots, prawns, onions and mushrooms. Also slices of fried fish fillet. All dipped in wasabi. Yummy!

A pic of Mervbear tempura-ing :)

… and one of him getting hit by hot oil *grin*

This is why smart gals like me prefer to stand aside, hold camera and look on adoringly as our men labour to feed us kekeke.

Thanks for the dinner hun! :)

I have finally FINALLY got myself a blog! :D Thanks to the boyfie who bought me my own domain and helped to setup. He’s my HTML guru! Muacks baby :)

So… here’s me (on left) and the boyfie (on right) :)
