Missy Donut

For my first time with Missy Donut, I was amazed by the different donuts they serve. There was more than 20 choices I think. Having a hard time deciding which to buy, I asked Hubs for opinion. He told me if he where to choose, he'll get beaten. I was quite surprise but not for long, for he said he would choose the original taste donut which cost RM1.90 instead of the usual Rm0.70 elsewhere - _"' A peep into my paper bag.At last I settled for a Chocolate Power. I'm die hard chocolate lover. So anything have to do with choc, I'll have to try.
See the overflowing choc...that's chocolate power. Probably at that time, I was still full. So with the overflowing choc and the harden icing on top, it was too sweet and chocolaty for me to truly enjoy it.I might go back and give it another try another day.....when I'm not that full.

My Day: The bright side....the not so bright side

I made a simpler breakfast for Hubs today, homemade garlic bread. It doesn't taste as delicious as those in restaurant but it's considered good for the first try. Today is the second day I follow Hubs to the office, sitting here doing my own stuff. Photo editing, blogging, ghost reading others blog, trading, and even become Ah Sie to Hubs. We had an early lunch at home. By 3pm, he's making noise already. So me being road idiotic, I drove the car round and round to search for food. I wanted to get some from Padang but then it was not open when I reached there. So I drove over to the cafe behind Giant. One look around the cafe, I walked out empty handed. I ended up in First World. Lady Luck was on my side. I went over to tapau Pasembur, the Aunty gave me curry chicken for FREE. It was extremely delicious I tell you. Hopped over to tapau banana pan cake (Ban Chan Kuey). The Uncle gave me extra banana..yummy.

However, I was not all that lucky when I saw my phone. It was dead, even though I had it charged to max yesterday. Wasn't sure what went wrong but I have to connect and disconnect a few times before it actually allowed me to start up the machine. The moment it was ON, SMS-es kept following in. One message that sadden me was from my ex-colleague.

She took the initiative to ask me for one last lunch before Puasa (Fasting month) starts. And they had been calling me for 7 times since 10am this morn. I hate this handphone. It has died on me a few times already. Now, it caused me to missed this lunch. When I called her back twice, she didn't answer my phone. She must have been pissed off with me...all because of this stupid phone. Sigh...

Photoshop Magic: Photo Enhancing

I'm totally in love with Photoshop. It can do wonders, from a volcano face to flawless skin, underexpose photos to great photos and from amateur pictures to pro-like one. Gosh..the people who created this must be a super genius. For those who had not lay their hand on Photoshop before, let me show you how amazing this thing is and you can do the judging yourself.

This photo was taken in Bali when we went there for honeymoon trip 2 months ago. The view was spectacular but after a click, this is what we had. I wasn't too happy with the shots I took. But I know Photoshop will help a lot.


I stumble upon Karen Cheng website and discovered how such a simple edit can do this. Am I good or what? Haha..self praise that I learnt from Hubs.

Not convince? I hope this will get you excited...
If you want to get the step by step procedure, you can drop by Karen's website and learn directly from the sifu.

Homecook Breakfast

This morning I made another hearty meal for Hubs. My only dream is I can do that more often.


Homecook Meal

Yesterday was the first day of my self indulgence. Coincidentally it was also Hubs birthday. So I prepared a special meal for him...my first time cooking. What I initially planned was modified according to the outcome and ingredient I had at that moment.

Ingredient: Shredded cheese, luncheon meat, garlic, onion, soy sauce,
black pepper sauce, black pepper, rice, butter, prawn, marinated meat
Love shape luncheon meat

Self marinated dory fillet with salt and black pepper

Golden egg yolk

Final piece...Heart Cheese bake Rice

Beauty of Penang

All these photos were taken after dinner. This was the dinner right after my last day of 8-5pm. I never realise how beautiful Gurney Drive was until the other night.



As the sky grew darker...

First step

This blog marked the day I'm free from 8-5 factory job. Although I've only been in the working industry for slightly more than 2 years, my brain is almost 50% dead. Living the life of waking up in the morning--> getting ready to work --> stuck in the jam --> waiting for lunch time --> waiting to get off work --> stuck in the jam again --> laze a while --> up on the bed and routinely doing it for 2 years..that is totally not a life I will want to continue.

Lots of 'what if' came up (financial, next step) before I finally decided Enough is Enough. With full support from Hubs, now I'm a freeman. I'm no longer stuck to a job I have totally no passion in. Yes, the job paid me well but life is much more than that. Everyone deserve to do what they like to do and still get paid. The road might not be smooth in the beginning. It's extremely hard to take the first step, to leave the comfort 4x4 cube and explore new stuff. But with faith and support, I believe this will pay off.
