Fun at the Bakers' Supply Shop

It had been ages since I last baked anything. Seriously.

Not that I dropped that hobby - though I wish to defend that I am still very much passionate with baking! - but I am for sure know that I have been lazy, very lazy.

I guess working adults face this dilemma - unless you are a working wife and mother which drives you to squeeze every second out of every minute, or you are a hyperactive person who has high energy 24/7.

So what triggers me to run a trip all the way to my fav Bakers' Supply Shop in Glenmarie? An addidtive Iphone application * haha! * Was playing Bakery Story and it sort of make me want to bake real time too other than virtually.

I spent a whooping one hour and a half there - choosing my stuff with the other half of the time ogling at the nice-to-haves. If only I have a rich hubby who can afford to indulge me with my hobbies and not needing me to report to anyone other than him * =P *

A reminder to all : Please do not get carried away when you are in there! The price tags look harmless, of a Rm5 here and a Rm 6 there. The check-put bill is what will harm your wallet.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself, and vow to bake over this long weekend. With CNY about a month away, good to jump start my "baking engine" and hopefully am able to produce some edible cookies for my dearies as a token of appreciation * =) *

Christmas 2010

Christmas was anticipated, came and gone with 2 days more of 2010. I find this year's Xmas decors more elaborate than the last - could this be a sign the economy is better or just another war of the malls to attract more shoppers? Whichever or whatever the reason it is, my eyes feasted on this and no complains! * =) *


Which one did I like most, someone asked me last Thursday. Of course I will choose Midvalley Megamall. Their main theme of teddy bears - HUGE ONES! - and toys brought the inner child out of everyone!


Huge Bears

Really HUGE ones - see how "small" big meow me looked next to this giant cutie? * =P *


They even have carousel horses! My Fave! And it looked eerily like the one I have next to my bed but like 100 times bigger!

And What everyone likes most about Xmas would be......

Presents! All mine! Muahahahahaha!

I<> like candy canes and what more one which comes with a bell! * jingle jingle meow~~~ *

One present which really gets my heart beating quick...


Mr Boo tumbler! It is so hard to find NICI merchandise of Mr Boo and here I got one! I can now have guzzle away with my favorite companion! Thanks VGC for this!

P/S : Apologies for those whom requested for the Xmas hat as on Mr Boo above, I couldnt make them in time. Will try to crochet more for you who likes it the next Xmas ya!

Shangri-La Putrajaya

** Delayed Entry **


Checked into Shangri-La Putrajaya for a meeting recently and was a lil impressed how this hotel tucked away in Putrajaya has a very intimate and quiet aura to it much to my surprise. The hotel itself is not huge, and are surrounded by lush greeneries located on top of a small hill.


The moment you check-in, you find yourself at a quiet, peaceful location as if you are away in some remote place - do not have any trace of feeling that you are still in town.


Like their high-rise beds


Somehow nowadays hotels fancy such "sexy" set-up where one can have access of either looking into the bathroom or able to practically step INTO the bathroom. Such insecurities if you have to share the room with someone who can cheekily just walk in or watch you taking a bath...


Another pleasant surprise, my room has a porch with own small water feature




For the vain you to get ready to go out...




I like their very spacious bathroom - which is almost the same size with the sleeping area as well as giving me the option of a bath and a shower cubicle at the same time. Bubble bath time!


And this is something light up my visit - a carefully thought item along with their toiletries - hair band for the ladies (or some gents) to tie your tresses! I may be jakun, but this is the first time I checked into a hotel which provides me a hairband * =) *

This is definitely a nice place to go for a quick getaway nearby the city if you dont want to travel away from KL/Selangor - peace and serenity in an hour's drive (or less).






Boo with purses?

Stylo Boo nows not only wears a hoodie but also carries designer purses...



I like this pic the most!

Thanks to PCC for her purses for inviting Mr Boo to model them * heehee *

My all time favorite

Am reminiscing the past dramas I lurve and come to realization that I don't actually have much in my list.

Please don't jump into any conclusion - I do like to watch dramas but to list out names of those actually etched deep impression, wrench my heart and engraved into my memory (on top of the buckets of tears shed!) would only be the following 2:

1. Stairways to Heaven
2. Autumn Concerto

A mere mention of the drama title will have the OSTs flooding my eardrums and tears swimming.

Unable to answer why these dramas affect me in such manner. Silly this may sound, but it somehow reminds me of the feelings I used to have,in which somehow this is comforting to know that I am still capable of feeling so...
