ChIneSE NEw YeAR PrEp

A busy busy month of January! I am so pre-occupied with the CNY stuffs... i have become very forgetful! To start off.. what is prep without baking!? And so, this year i bought all my ingredients and also not forgetting the very important plastic container (that i really regret last year for not using and ended up my cookies went soft). I made altogether 4 types of goodies. They are Almond Melting Moments, Chocolate chip with Rasin Cookie, Apricot with Almond Cookie (Drizzled with melted choco) and also my must have Choco Cornflake Crisp!

For consecutively 2 days, my unit was soaked in the aroma of baked cookies and i am not sure about my neighbours, but to me it is aromatherapy... Mmmmm... Though i was really tired at the end of it..hur hur... I did not take any pics when baking as it was really like a warzone. Therefore I only have the final packed products for your to see... =)

What is CNY without new clothes??? !! A must have for all people regardless you are young, old, fat, thin, gal or boy! I bought a lot of clothes for this CNY. I also did my gel nails at Iputa... my first time and i must say, it is really pretty and durable! Next up will be to trim my hair.. Here is a little sneak peak at my clothes and my nails!!!

An update on my lil garden collection. As said in my previous entry, I kept my word and add on a few more plants to my garden... A very sad news to share as well. My rose plant died. I am not sure, but i feel is that i over-watered it and also the salt level of the soil is too high. Anyways... it died. I had to move on. Luckily all my other plants are doing fine and i googled (How can I live without Google?!!) on how to look after them more professionally. Most are growing by day and budding even (for my tie shu) =)

Well... That is all for the time being folks... Will update you more on my prep and CNY celebration when time allows.. Wishing all my chinese readers and fellow bloggers happy CNY Preping!!! =)

HaPPy NeW YEAR 2011! - BackDated

Have been some time since my last entry. Some quick updates on my New Year Celebration. I invited my bro and sis over for a dinner since my Dad and Mom had their own events to attend to.

I knocked off early on New year eve and rush back home to whipped up the dessert - Tiramisu. Followed by cooking the pasta for the Sausage Baked Pasta and also Chicken Breast Cesaer's Salad as a Starter. There you have it.. a simple meal and celebration to mark the ending of Yr 2010 and staying hopeful for the new year 2011!

Apologies for the limted pictures, as i was too busy eating .. hur hur...
