A day of hearts, pie and flowers

Time is short and the night is almost over. Time to sleep. But before that, I leave you with a series of photos.. Enjoy! :)

My heart, I give you.

Pie for lunch.

Mr. and Mrs. Leong

Little treasures in my garden.

Roses are red, daisies are white.

My visit to the library resulted in...

Homecooked linguini bolognaise...

Fry mince pork with diced onions, chopped garlic with olive oil.

Add in sliced mushrooms and tomato paste with some oregano and bay leaves.

And VOILA! Dinner is served!

This is how I look with NO double eye lids and make up!!

My day in pictures

A little tired and short of time tonight, hence, I shall let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy! :)

#1 Today's healthy lunch

#2 Mr. C's lunch

#3 Books I wish to buy that I saw at Aldi

#4 Classics of all kinds

#5 Did you know that Rudyard Kipling is the author of The Jungle Book?

#6 Oh Oscar Wilde... and your Dorian Gray piece that gave me the shivers

#7 The man who gave us Alice in Wonderland

#7 A classic English literature

#8 Of a giant and mean little men

#9 I've heard about The Great Gatsby on numerous occasions but for the life of me,

I am utterly clueless to what it's about.

#10 Domokun kiddy boots taken for Arty, a Domokun fan.

#11 Hello Kitty for Miss Bubbly, a fan of the cat with a red bow.

#12 Today's office attire, at the tv room.

#13 In the formal dining room with no dining table but a wall of mirrors.

#14 Where I take pictures of me

#15 Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

#16 Looking knackered out than cute...

#16 If only...

#17 Shorter right eyebrow

#16 Looking knackered out rather than cute

#17 I don't do smoldering, sultry, seductive looks

#18 I just huff and puff

#19 Sob my heart out being true to my Eeyore self

#20 Each doing our own things

#21 Finally, back to the tv room and suave Nick Cafferty

#22 Unhealthy dinner of dumplings and bacon strips in Asam Laksa flavoured Maggie Mee

#23 How to make chocolate chips

#24 It's easy as 1,2,3

#25 Essential tools

#26 Mix 125g of butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar till fluffy than mix in 1 egg and 1tsp of vanilla essence

#27 Next, sift 1 and 1/2 cups of self raising flour into mixture and combine

#28 Lastly, pour 3/4 cup of Cadbury chocolate chips and 2 tbs of peanut butter, optional.

#29 Scoop 1 tsp full of cookie dough and lay them onto lined cookie tray

#30 With this recipe, make the dough small like Malaysian 20cents coin size.

Preheat oven at 160degrees for 10 minutes BEFORE putting the cookie in to bake. According to instructions, bake cookies for 10-15minutes.

However, for my experiment today, I had to bake them slightly longer as I probably made each cookie a tad too big!

Just one of those days

Yesterday's dinner and today's lunch... tom yam mee hoon.

Clueless as to why I teared earlier. It can't be due to that time of the month. Perhaps it's the aftermath. My body clock or rather emotions seem to have gone haywire and now decides to kick a hissy fit AFTER that awesome time of the month rather than before. 

I was fine the whole day. In fact, working hours passed by relatively fast - it wasn't fast like a blink of an eye kind of fast but instead of the usual drag, before I knew it, it was time to pack up and head home. I guess the given task was achievable and I've finally grasp the VLOOKUP and IF function on Excel!

Everything was okay till I headed to shower and Mr. C made some comment about my not keeping abreast with world events such as The UK rioting despite almost always being on the internet. Somehow, it upset me and one thought led to another and the dam just burst!

My vitamin C intake...

Nutella spread on sourdough bread with tea...

Hand wrapped birthday present for a thoughtful aunt's special day

Oh well, hopefully I get a grip of my emotions before it goes yo-yo ing everywhere. 

Good news is that big boss won't be in office tomorrow, so I can relax a bit. 

Reminder : to use time wisely. :)

Whee... two more weeks till I head home to Malaysia. Gosh. I initially thought I'll be home for a long while but after factoring my plans and having a good look through, I don't have much time! *sobs* If only I had more time and money. Then again, tell me who doesn't!

My friend reminded me that my wedding should be about Mr. C and I and not so much about the other things ie dress, gifts and what nots. I guess it's just me to think about the nitty gritty details of even the smallest things. Sometimes, I wished to scrape the big hoo haa and have a small one instead.

Anyways, headed over to the neighbours and to wish Aunt M happy birthday!! =)
