I remembered someone asking what can a couple do other than shopping, watching movie, and eating. I always thought there’s much much more than those mentioned. but, when i come to a serious brainstorm about it. surprisingly, i couldn’t find any meaningful things to do together, especially on those lazy days.

It’s like, you will be just too lazy to move your ass out from the house.
So yea, there’s this day that i felt exactly so. All i feel like doing is to SLEEP. =.=

Boyfriend then took out a box of pancake flour thingy, he knows i would never say no to FOOD.
He decided make me honey pancake! ^^

I was excited, cause finally there’s something that doesn’t require much energy
& something that i am more than willing to do.

BUT, I have no idea of how to make a pancake though.
all i could do is look at him, doing all the job. ugh. fml.

Just when the boyfriend finish adding in everything needed (the flour thingy in the packet + an egg)  into the bowl and started mixing it, I actually took boyfriend’s mixing bowl over and started mixing happily. *bigwidesmile

Next, he place the frying pan over medium fire and allow it to warm through for awhile.
A lil butter is added after the pan is heated up.

After that, mixture is about to pour into the frying pan.
Poured, and wait for about 30s to 1 min, let it brown underneath.

When the top is almost set, flip the pancake over.
wait for another 30s to 1min, the pancake should look like this.

& tadah, you are done!

okay, the boyfriend did the one above.
It looks so easy, and i thought i shall try making one too.

mine look quite burnt, but, it tastes good, still. *smileeeeee
hey, i am not comforting myself, it really tastes okay.

practice makes perfect, they said.
therefore, i tried again, and the outcome was quite satisfying. heeeee!

The whole process took us less than 20 mins.
It’s really that easy, even a noob like me succeeded in making it.

you people shall try making one too!

honey pancake. ♥

p.s. – it tastes better than how it looks like, srsly. *smile

Saturday is the “No Plastic Day“.
& I have got myself a recycle bag from Xixili to stuff in all my buys.

So yea, I went Shopping together with baby, Adele chow & Tok Song at Pyramid today.

Had a awesome day shopping with love one and best friends.
Got myself new Lingerie from Xixili, not very happy it, i prefer La Senza♥ so much more, but, I have got no choice. T.T Also, got a pretty high waist pants from Forever21 & a very chio girls’ boxer from Top Shop. ♥ ♥ ♥

Adele continue with her Cotton On fever.
While the guys, somehow, became the handyman. @@

Walked around & passed by a dessert shop name Tutti Frutti.
Adele was telling me that she’s very sure that I will definitely ♥ it.

I got so tempted and so, there we go. ^^
Adele was guiding us on how to DIY our own Frozen Yogurt Cup.

Select your cup size.

Then, dispense the yogurt of your choice.
There’s about 10 favors for you to choose. ♥

I prefer the Original favor the most.
oh, strawberry favor is ♥ too!

Next, choose your favorite toppings!
there’s chocolate and cookies toppings.

fruits and jelly toppings.

The best thing is you can DIY too!! ♥♥♥

a close up view of the heavenly yogurt! dainty!!!

also, you can add Hershey’s Syrup on to it.
yes, you can squeeze as much as you like. hee!

lastly, weight it and pay!

&, yes, it real savory, but, the price is rather high too. @@

rm5.60 for 10 grammes.
& rm12.20 for my 23 grammes.

since it’s a Saturday, i got my rm2 discount.
so, I only need to pay RM10.20.

toothsome! ♥

Tok day dreaming posing.

I have no idea what’s up with this expression of Adelechow. @@??

We then off for grocery shopping!

chicken? nop, we didn’t get any of it.
I was there just to get a packet of sweet corn.

Adelechow camwhoring happily.

told you, she loves my camera.
“Peanuts, it’s CNY!”

We left after that.
Oh, did I tell you baby allowed me to drive home from Sunway though the traffic wasn’t that good.

I am looking terribly stress!
Those “passengers” in the car kept giving me pressure! Damm!

The sweetest culprit.

Reached home, safely.

& I thought of making something for the family.
sweet corn, will do.

goldenish yellow sweet corn, DONE.
look luscious, but tastes horrible. @@

Yea, I failed, over cooked the corn. FML.

Next task, Pineapple Longan Koniyaku Jelly.

Mom loves the can longan pineapple.
But, opening a can is never an easy job for me.

it took me years to open half on it. fml.

I hate the can opener heaps.
it’s such a vampire! ugh!

layer by layer i poured the mixture, and layer by layer I added those fruits in.
Thanks God that the outcome did not disappoint me. ♥♥♥

The family loves it, and I am glad.

I had a great Saturday.
& hope tomorrow will be better. ♥

The other day, I was telling one of my best friend that I want to bake a cake for my boyfriend.
She suggested, ferrero rocher cupcakes.

But I told her, I would prefer a cake. Perhaps, we could just follow the ubersuperbakes‘ recipe,
but instead baking cupcakes, we will bake a cake.

we both thought no harm giving it a try.

so yea, this is CHUAHKEHUI.
a million thanks for lending me your kitchen and guiding me through the whole process.

the recipe:

Ferrero Rocher Cupcakes
as adapted from the ubersuperbakes.

For the cakes:
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Nutella
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup milk
1/4 tsp instant coffee powder
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp castor sugar

For the Topping:
8oz dark chocolate
2/3 cup whipping cream.
1/2 cup nuts

this is enough for 2 heart shaped cakes.

This is the end product after mixing everything together.
we were basically to busy baking and forgotten to snap photos of it. I am sorry for that.

however. click here and you will find a full guide of how to bake it.

It’s pretty simple, just make sure you follow it steps by steps.
Kehui & I didn’t, and causes a lil havoc in the kitchen. as in, we almost causes an explosion, FML.

Pre-heat oven to 180C.

we use 40 mins to bake the first cake, 20-25mins for the next 2 cakes,
to have the tester come out clean.

toasted and roughly chopped the nuts.
Kehui got too smart and put it into the blender, causes the outcome to be in powder form.
*smack forehead*

I insisted to chop the rest of it.

mix it in to the chilled ganache and put it in to the fridge.
chilled ganache – boil the whipped cream, put in the roughly chopped dark chocolate and let it melts.

“When the ganache is fully chilled and thick enough, gingerly pour the ganache over the cooled cupcake.”
& it’s ready to be serve, let it be hot/cold.

I prefer it hot though.

& yes, kehui and I called it a success.
my mummy likes it too. ♥

for the boyfriend’s cake, I decorated it with red hearts. ♥

pretty, isn’t it.

♥ boyfriend’s belated birthday celebration up next.

這一次，我再次抓住了我們的愛情與承諾。那，下次呢？
親愛的，別再讓我們的承諾離得太遠，好嗎？

♥♥♥

The other day, the boyfriend randomly suggested to go for some “healthier” activities instead of our usual lifeless & “unhealthy” daily routine. He came out with a brilliant idea which I first refuse to join him.

Guess what we did, with the knife the red thingy which I don’t know what it is.

clue no.1.

clue no. 2. ^^

yes, yours truly went fishing prawning.
No doubt, it’s something really new to me. I didn’t even went fishing before.

went with the boyfriend, and AH TOK!

On the first hour, ah tok & me failed to fish any prawn.
but boyfriend already caught 2, actually it’s only one. The other one he “rasuah-ed”.

tick tock, tick tock, time passed.

I learned that it requires a certain level of skill to jerk the rod on the moment when the prawn bites,
otherwise, the prawn might just ate the hum and swim off.
as a conclusion, I still got nothing.

Started to feel really bored.
I then threw my rod aside, and started camwhoring.

boyfriend, waiting patiently.

Ah tok got nothing too, he then started to get busy with his phone.
playing some fishing game with his very canggih phone, trying hard to learn some skills from it.

He told bii:” If i failed to prawn pawn, i will pawn you!”

Everyone in the shop was looking at me when I started camwhoring, I paiseh, like yeaaa.
& so I started killing my time by chopping the red thingy. it’s like I am playing MASAK MASAK, they said.

suddenly my rod moved, I got so intense, & without a second thought, I pulled my rod ignoring those skills which they said it’s important after failing so badly in the previous attempts, and surprisingly, I succeeded in getting myself the first prawn.

I was so excited, and started to think it wasn’t that bad after all. No more complains about how bored I am right after I caught the 1st prawn. Satisfaction, overwhelmed.

I did nothing after that but staring at the indicator of my rod, check whether it sank into the water which indicating the weight on the rod. If it sank, it means, there’s prawns that hooked on my rod already, & it’s time to jerk the rod. wee!

*round of applause please. ^^

I caught 2 prawns in 2 and a half hour time. It’s very little, but I am pretty satisfied already. ^^
ah tok got one in the very end, while the others was caught by the boyfriend.

went back to the boyfriend’s place and it’s time to prepare the “cheesy butter prawn”.
it’s so easy that all of you could have try if you have prawns in your fridge.

Boyfriend’s aunt first helped us to clean the prawns
& marinated it with pepper and butter.

put the cheese on the aluminum foil, followed by the marinated prawns and butter.
if you are a cheese lover like me, put more cheese on the top of the prawns before you fold it up.

after that place it into a toaster/oven for about 20 mins.

Then, tadah, it’s good to be served.
it smells good and tastes even better.

i am loving it! slurppps.

just a blink of eye, it’s already the second month me and bii get together.

On our second anniversary day, bii woke up extraordinary early to prepare breakfast for me.
went into the kitchen and see whether I could help but ended up got kicked out from the kitchen, he said it’s my day, princess should not get into the kitchen. oh well.

mushroom soup, my favorite cheese bread & vitagen.

had a bite on the cheese bread and realize that it tastes really odd, it’s not like the previous one.
i said :” bii, how come this turkey ham tastes like pork?”

he had a bite, and told me that the turkey ham might be not fresh already.
He threw it all away, *i should have take a photo of how disappointed is him towards himself on that second. teehee. Well, effort counts, he’s forgiven. furthermore, the big bowl of mushroom soup is more than enough to fill up my stomach.

later on, we went out to meet up with my sweet little adele.
headed to subang parade, to get my digi campus thingy done.

before we left, camwhore a little. photography credits to adele chow.

bii, thanks for pampering me like a princess.

♥ helping me to remove my make up when I am too exhausted to do so.
♥ helping me to dry my hair so I could get others things done at the same time.
♥ helping me to untied my shoe lace just because I am too lazy.
♥ helping me to tidy up my room cause i practically don’t know how to do it.

thanks, for spoiling me and THANKS for causing me getting lazy and lazier.

i ♥ you.
happy 2 months anniversary

got bii a quicksilver boxer with my name sew on it.

& he told me that he will surprise me with something later on at night, thought that he will be getting me bigger mickey mouse like what we had mentioned earlier. but nop, he send a pretty Guess bag to my house at night.

a pretty big, white, glossy surface bag. good enough for a clumsy, careless doreamon that carry so many things with her who so gonna dirty the bag in days.

also, it’s exactly what I am craving for. thanks, bi, for being so thoughtful. ♥

bii, i know that things weren’t going that well lately.
but hopefully, it will be better soon. *hugs

p.s. – I want to go home really badly. I miss my family, a lot.

p.p.s. – something really EMBARRASSING happened on the same day too, will update bout it in the next post, stay tune.

I have been staying without my family at Kampar for quite some time. but sadly, I still do not know how to OPERATE a can opener. Everytime, i feel CAMPBELL i need to asked for help from my friends which i find it real troublesome.

Till last weekend, there’s a sudden urge that made me…
took out the can opener in my house…

and went to asked mom whether she has any can that need to be open. She knew that I am trying to learn how to use the can opener, and asked me to open up the longan and peach can instead. desserts? it motivated me even more.

& the clumpsy me here, started off learning hard on how to use a can opener.

after long hours of hard work, i finally successfully opened up the two cans. *satisfaction, wee!

& now, desserts is ready to be served.

lil sis : kor, do you know what mixture did cheche use to prepare this?
bro : what?
lil sis : longan juice, peach juice, 7 up, sweats, tap water(somehow), & BLOOD.
bro : =.= *continue eating

yes, i cut my hand when I was trying to open the can. indeed a hard work.

but hey, it looks good. doesn’t it?

& guess what, lil sister is the one who taught me how to use the can opener.
yea, she will definitely made me better wife/mother or whatsoever than I will.

The night before I left to Kampar, boyfriend said he will be dropping by my house tomorrow cause he has something to pass to me. I nodded my head, and went to bed. The next morning, as early as 8 in the morning, my handphone rang, forcing my the other eye to open, stretched out my arm and got my phone, picked up, and he said he is already outside. Got up from the bed and being sort of gone into a daze, i walked out from my house with a pair of sleepy eye.

He passed me a bunch of hand made flowers & a letter.
also, a Tupperware which is still warm.

After they left, I rushed back right into my room, wanted to curl up and go back to sleep.
But hell, the letter and the warm tupperware is way to tempting.

& as expected the hand made flowers and the letter is enough to jerk out my tears.
I told him I love flowers, but flowers don’t last long, and he got me handmade flowers. *smitten*
bout the letter.. *watery eyes*

last but not least, when I open the tupperware, I found this…
I am really surprised yet got really touched at the same time!

he isn’t feeling well that day, yet staying up late just to prepare this for me,
& send it over to my door step early in the morning.

It’s no doubt yummy, and my siblings agreed.

it’s just really so sweet of him, I am always blissed out.
guess, besides my family, he’s my sweetest blessing.

p.s. – i was sleeping with my retainer, and when I woke up this morning, I realize the lower part has just disappeared, weird. I had swallowed it, perhaps. ugh, I don’t know.

p.p.s. – adele psycho-ed me the BEST present ever. it reminds me of the roti canai’s “dial”. lol.
