Errr.. Updates again?

. . . . .

Cannot like that lor you all. Keep bugging me for an update but don't comment wor.
Oh well, I guess the Raya fever is not over yet thus the drop in stats and comment.


Anyway, as requested by my dearie Theen... I'm posting the below pictures up and hold it as a proof. (So that 'someone' can no longer complain =p )

FYI, this "someone".



To be fair so that you guys won't go thinking she's being demanding, her birthday falls on 29th of July.. which is almost 3 months ago.

Click here and here if you had missed the previous posts.



Anyway, back to the topic.

So having quite a number of days off for the Hari Raya celebration, Theen and I finally get to lay our fingers working on Kelly's belated requested gifts.



Not bad huh? 100% made by Theen!!! Each and every step from baking to decorating. Yet she claimed its actually a failure and refused to tell us what it is till Kelly cut it.

So can you guess what cake is it?

I bet no one can. Because we couldn't tell what is it even after eating it!
We're like,

"Hmmm...... It's sweet..... I taste strawberry.... and there's a bit of coffee aroma in it. Eh? That's cheese right? . . . . *three seconds pause* Theen ah, what is it oh? "

Theen would probably scream at me for posting the above photo up because she was blocking our eyes when we tried to get a closer look of the cake and told us,

"Cannot see! Cannot see! Very sak-pai 失败 inside. Cannot see! Cannot complain! I spent a lot of money for making this, and xing-suet 心血 too! "


Despite it being a weird-combination cake, it's not bad really. Just that cake isn't really my kind of thing.

(Hint: No cake for my birthday please. I prefer salt than sugar. Still Yong Theen Theen, I want one from you, just a small small one can liao. Yi-si Yi-si 意思意思 for me to blow candles mah)

I was teasing Theen that she really bake a "CHEESE" cake 'cos got holes in them. *LOL* She thought the cheese batter would actually get those "sponge cubes?" sunk in them, laid flat and look nice in a single layer. But I guess the cake had its own character and attitude.

* * * * *

Now my dear friends and readers, get a deep breathe and behold the pwettiest and cutest and nicest and fluffiest pillow you'll ever see.

Hahahahaa. Okay, I exaggerated a bit.
It's just a normal looking pillow... No need so gan-cheong scroll down.

*Dang Dang Dang Dang*



I now present you.....


*drum roll*

Nice ah nice ah?

Oh wait, before any of you come and praise me thinking that I did those letterings... I got to clarify this.

I did NOT make those letters and leaves. I sent it to a very ganas tailor for the embroideries and damn, she's good! It's really worth the waiting and it's pretty cheap. I told her the letters I want on it, the size and color. Told her briefly what I had in mine and how I want it to be and *wa-la*, she sketched the draft out in seconds, showed me and asked if that's what I wanted. I said yes and she sat straight in front of her sewing machine and start doing it.

I was shocked how fast she could do it without any errors. And the needle was so close to her fingers! Scary.

After that I brought the fabric back home, draw the heart shape (requested by Ms. Lim) and asked my yiyi (auntie) to help me sew them because she has sewing machine and in fact, she's a tailor herself.

And later I stuffed the cotton in and sew it by hand to close up the hole.

Wait, before you go bombard me with comments like what Theen and Kelly gave, "Chewwwwww..... Thought you did those letters. Even the pillow also not fully sewed by you. So proud for what?", actually.. I spent most of my time driving around looking for a shop who do embroidery.

I did say its "customized" right? I didn't say its a DIY from me wor.

I bluff you not, I think I did surveyed not less than 10 shops. And drove up and down Seria - KB a few times just to get it done. Not to mention, the time I spent in just completing it.

Also got put in sweat and effort okay.

(And money for the fuel leh~
Okay lah Kelly Lim, I know you want to say, "Cheh! Your car diesel lah!")

* * * * * *

In case you're wondering why am I blogging less these few days, here.. my explanation.

He he he . . .





What can I say,

I super love my very advanced birthday gift!

p/s: Theen, don't forget buying me those pretty accessories for it as my birthday gift. Come, we go shopping together and I tell you which one I want ya.

Cute right? He really thought msg = message (SMS texting). I was thinking, what make him think that we have to sms while cooking fried rice? Has he see any chef doing that in AFC?

Note to self: Never use short form when talking to a beginner in cooking.
