Makeup Stuff

Rasa2nya dh berkurun tak update blog ni... hehe :D bukan tak mahu update.. tapi tak masakkk kat umah.. main beli jek sejak dua menjak ni... mmg malasss betul nk masak.. tak tahula napa... hehehe.. i'm not a mother & a housewife.. so tak kisah la.. makan pun takpe.. tak makan pun takpe.. lainla kalau dh ada husband & kids nanti.. I'll make sure I'll cook sendiri food for 'em walau sibuk camne sekalipun.. more healthy, hygienic & delicous hehehe.. (sounds like i'm ready for marriage..isn't it? insya allah.... pray for me!) maybe ida kena tukarlah tajuk blog ni drpd blog masakan ke blog pelbagai... cam HaSue punya blog tu.. so, bila time tak masak boleh update cite2 lain kan... ehh.. ada ke yg nk baca cite2 lain kita? :D hopefully ada la..... :)

Oklah... hari ni kita nk tayang barang2 makeup kita.. teringat last week masa duk chat ngan HaSue.. terkeluar citer2 pasal makeup ni.. masa tu kul 6.30 pagi..

Cian kt Hasue... ampuunn sue.. tahun baru nanti kita berazam tak nk nyakat hang dah.. hihi.. eh, leh caya ke ni? :D

I am not all that a brand conscious person.. tapi kalau untuk makeup stuff, perfumes & undergarments.. Ida mesti dapatkan yg berjenama.. i don't mind spending much money on these three items.. tapi kalau baju, kasut, bag, etc.. tu Ida langsung tak kisah.. yg branded ok.. yg tak ada brand pun ok.. semua belasah asalkan they fit me well and suit me... (biasanya beli yg takde brand je..)




Semalam, Ida pergi Kerteh just to buy makeup stuff.. sanggup drive 2 jam tu heheh.. kat kay tee mana mau cari yang.. nk beli online, tak leh test lak.. rasanya dh lama benar tak beli makeup stuff ni.. sampaikan byk barang2 tu yg dh nak habis isinya.. I use Dior & YSL prodcuts.. they are wonderful & boleh tahan bertahun2.. love 'em so much!

Ni first time Ida guna jenama The Body Shop... not bad.. bought oil free balancing foundation (RM65), black eye definer shade (RM35), pink eye color (RM35), starlight sparkle eye liner (RM45) , iced candy shimmer gloss (RM49.90) & pencil sharpener (RM11). Pastu boleh ambil brg free for RM30. I took sparkle roller ball (RM39.90). I like the oil free foundation.. eye color lak.. not that long lasting tapi still ok..

Kek Marie Koko

I made this kek marie koko (kek batik) a few weeks ago but only got the chance to post the pic and share it with all of you today. I've been very extremely busy with exam marking and other stuff related to the exam, and now, thank god, it's over.. yeahhh!!

-

It was my first time making kek batik. I know it's a big sloppy but it was quite a new & fun experience! I made just half of the recipe, and maybe, that's one of the reasons why the kek batik appeared sooooo 'untidy' and 'unattractive'. I guess if I made using the whole recipe, the cake would look better! LOL... To me, when making a cake, it should always taste and look good! I know there are some people don't really care about how their cake looks like, as long as it tastes good, most people will be happy to eat. hehe well, that's quite true, but I think nothing can beat the satisfaction of being able to make both delicious and nice homemade cake with our own hands and then serve it to our family members ;)

-

I loved the taste of this kek marie koko, it is a chocoholic's dream! My family also loved it. To kak azita, thanks for sharing this wonderful kek batik recipe :)

Baked Macaroni

Hello all... I know it's been a while since my last post (I've been pretty busy with work, which is why I haven't been updating much lately) so here is the 'scoop' for the delay - Baked Mac!

-

-

I love pasta. I guess I could eat pasta every day. hehe From macaroni and spaghetti to lasagne and penne, pasta will always be my personal favorite and my 'go to' when I want to make something fast. Talking about pasta, it's been quite some time since I last made baked macaroni. The first time I made them was a few years ago and they didn't turn out and taste good enough hehe... that's normal for a first timer!

-

Well, it's clear everyone has their own version of baked mac. It depends on one's taste preference. Obviously this baked mac that I made is the version that I want - soft, a bit creamy and cheesy!

-

Note: This baked mac recipe is a combination of chef Hanieliza's recipe and my own.

Sardine Curry & Honeydew Pudding

Chinese Chives with Seafood

You never know until you try. Seriously, I never thought of stir-frying chinese chive leaves. Because of their stronger smell and 'oniony' flavor, I don't think to cook the leaves would be a good idea. What I normally do is I would throw in a few short lengths of chive leaves when I cook fresh bean sprouts to complete the taste. Yeah, they make a perfect partner in any stir-fry and dumpling. I stumbled upon this easy stir-fry recipe using chive leaves in a quick search of the internet and gave it a try. It made the difference and I quite liked it!

Note: The recipe is copied from Tan Wiratchada's blog.

Ingredients:

2 g shrimps
2-3 squids, cut
1 g Chinese chive flowers, cut
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 ½ tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce

Preparation:

1. Chop garlic. Cut the Chinese chive flowers into 1 ½ inch long. Peel and devain shrimp. For a presentation, you can use whole shrimp (with head) and peel.
2. Heat a wok or a pan on high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and chopped garlic and stir.
3. Add shrimp and squids when the garlic starts to brown. Stir to get the shrimp and squid somewhat cooked. The shrimp shoud start to get pinky but not all pink or cooked.
4. Add the chive flowers and stir to cook them.
5. Add oyster sauce and fish sauce. The flowers shouldn't take long to cook. You want the flowers to just cook, but not overcook and still retain their crunchiness.
6. When the color turns bright green, it indicates that they are cooked.
7. Turn off the heat and pour on a plate immediately. Serve with hot steamed rice.
