PostHeaderIcon These Few Days

1) Hairspray
Yup I watched Hairspray the musical with Melody and my cheche in Millennium Centre at the Bay! IT was AMAZIGNZ!! I was entertained at every second! It's definitely a few good musical and every one should watch it if they have the chance. My favourite song was "I can hear the bells". They performed so well for that part! hehe. Besides that, we bought our tickets for 15pounds! Dirt cheap eh? So happy to have the opportunity to watch the original cast all the way from London. Im blessed!!! I love the man who played the role of main actress' mother...He(She) was hilarious at the last dancing scene with the father! haha they actually had to hold themselves back from laughing. It was obvious as there were a few obscene impromptu lines made right there and then and boy, do the audience love them!!


I never knew that it was so beautiful, modern and clean inside!
Very comfortable!


Another reason to fall in love with Cardiff.

My sister. A warrior!
She's tough, independent, kind, generous & definitely one smarty pants.


2) Andre's 21st bday bash!

Yeah letting down my hair was a wise decision. haha.

Walking down to the bus stop. Taken with flash.

At the bus stop. hehe.

I post this picture up coz I really like the colour of my hair. It looks like it has brown highlights rite? Kenneth says it's perfect and he told me that I should never ever dye my hair coz it's naturally beautiful the way it is. :) Bless him. heehe.

The venue. Gorgeous.

3) Flowers in the House

My sister's.

I love tulips! Influenced by my mother who loves them dearly.

Now, this is for me :)

Hehe Kenneth bought this on the 16th of April as it marks our 3 years 7 months being together. Im thankful to be able to celebrate the 16th of every month :)

So pretty! I love the dramatic two-toned orange and yellow combination.

Taken today. Fully bloomed:)
Hv no idea y it looks more orangey here.
I think there was more light exposure when i took this pic.

4) On the way in becoming a chef/a very intellectual housewife

Recipe: http://rasamalaysia.com/ginger-and-scallion-fish-recipe/

This is by far one of the best dishes that I've cooked.It tastes exactly like what you have outside! I was so proud to tell my parents that I have successfully master the skill in cooking this ginger and scallion fish! (Actually it's so easy, anyone can cook this to perfection) Looking back, it was a mere coincidence that I bought Basa fish- a Vietnamese catfish which was the ideal fish for this dish! :D

This is called Chilli Bean Spare Ribs with spring onions and dried chilli.

Tastes exactly like the dish Kakak cooks at home.
MMMmmmmm.. My sister and I absolutely love it!

Very easy. Firstly, stirfry some ginger (about 2 inches, sliced), 1 onion (diced) and some dried chilli until u harum the bau wangi of the ingredients. After 5 minutes, throw in the spare ribs that have been splashed with 2 full teaspoons of corn flour (B4 that, I also poured over boiling water and sifted it to get rid of the pork smell). Turn the heat to maximum and give it a good stir. (Make sure u added enough olive oil) Then add in 2 teaspoon of chilli bean sauce. After that, put in some dark sauce, light soya sauce, sugar to your own preference. Add in 2 bowls of water. Turn the fire heat to the lowest and let it simmer for 45 minutes. When it's almost ready and the pork is succulent, pour in diced spring onion (cut into 2 inches long). Dish out. Yumm. (p.s: I used 600g of pork ribs)

Closed up picture.

Stir fried 'pak choi' with garlicand mixed vegetables.
Yummy!

I just made this for dinner tonight! AMMMAAZZING!
Drumsticks marinated with Pesto sauce, garnished with pepper, onions and sprinkled with a healthy load of cheese!

I marinated drumsticks with a pesto sauce that i bought from Tesco called 'Sun dried tomato pesto sauce'..something like that. It costs 2 pounds for a small bottle. Firstly, I washed the drumsticks. After that, I marinated the drumsticks with 2 TBSP of pesto sauce and 1 and a half TBSP of plain flour. (Secret: Plain flour makes the chicken skin crunchy- Just a bit will do) I added in 2 teaspoon of sugar coz i accidentally added salt when the pesto sauce is already salty. Add 2/3 dashes of white pepper.

While the chicken is in the oven, I stir fried 1 red peppers (sliced) and one onion (diced). It takes quite a while for the peppers to become soft. I added in 2 tsp of the pesto sauce, 2 tsp of sugar and also some water to speed up the boiling process of the peppers.

Leave the chicken in the oven at 170-180 degrees for about 30 minutes or until you think it's done. Halfway through, I took the chicken out and used the kitchen scissors to make an 'X' mark around the bone area so that it'll cook faster. Before u serve the chicken, spread the peppers and onions over the chicken, sprinkle some cheese on top and leave it in the oven for awhile with the temperature still on!! OMGG!!! salivate. Darn good. This dish will make your BF love you more. hahahha.

Did I ever mention that Im addicted to 'Super Sweet Sweetcorn' sold at Tescos. Fresh ones. 2 for 1.88 pounds. Quite expensive but it's so yummy & healthy! Boil it for 8 minutes, sift it, sprinkle some salt and spread some butter - voila! There you go- Goodness on the cob.
