Fabulous Finds - September Goodies

Yippie..It's Finally here....!!

To be honest so far, all the Fabulous Finds boxes that i received have been amazing and surprising. But this time round, the September goodies are the best....Check out what i have received...!

I started to try out all the items one by one since yesterday night...

To wipe away the remaining Monday blues, I started off with Elizabeth Arden Elizabeth Arden (Gold Ultra Restorative Capsules And Gold Ultra Lift And Strengthening Eye Capsules) for my night time skin care regime. I love the texture so much and its not very oily. good for combination skin. Helps to address the signs of aging by strengthening skin's barrier with the power of CLX complex. 

This item is price at RM 116.20 and its a full size item !

I started my Tuesday Morning,  with a fresh hair wash using Clairol Professional colour radiance shampoo and Visible Repair Intensive Mask. Infuse with passion fruit and orange peel lipids, the shampoo feels fresh and energizing. Good for color hair! 

Next, I dress up myself with colors using Essence duo eye shadow and long lasting lip gloss.  I particularly like the eye shadow color. It's easy to apply and sharp. 

The eye shadow is price at RM8.90 and the gloss is at RM10.90 (both are full size item too)

Lastly, I scent myself with Narciso Rodriguez EDT.  I love this scent so much...it smells so sensual and floral. Not a very heavy smell just smooth and nice.

The whole box is worth more than RM 136 and i only pay RM35 for it. 

Isn't it a FABULOUS FIND  for this month!

I am so in love with beauty box now...!!!! can't wait for next month box to arrive...

My 'Ang Ku' Class

Don't play-play...Home made 'Ang Ku' k... ^_^

I was so delighted and excited when my friend invited me over weekend to their Sunday church where they have an 'Ang Ku' making class which was conducted by her mother in law. I brought 'ang ku fans' along (which is my hubby and my mom) to the class in SDAC Church in Sunway Damansara. (just next to Rhimba Hills development)

Recipe :
1. Glutinous rice floor (500 gm)
2. Warm water (about 2 cups )
3. Cooking oil (about 1/2 cup)
4. Pandan leaf extract (1/2 cup) - for colouring purpose
5. angku mould
6. banana leaft
7. brush
8. steamer and steamer pots
9. fillings - depends on what do you like (you can have green paste, lotus paste or red bean paste)

The ingredients

open up the floor on a big plate and then slowly add in little bit of water and panda extract. 

Don't pour in all water..add in bit by bit and mixed well till you get a desire dough

when the desire dough is ready, add in oil and mixed again. Once the dough does not stick on the hand anymore means its ready. transfer the dough on to table top and work on it for a while more (roughly 3 mins) for it to really blend

Take a small amount of the dough (roughly 30 gm), make it into a ball and flatten it

scoop the filling and make it into a ball as well (about 20 gm) and place it in the center of the flatten dough.

Close the dough. make sure the filling is all fully covered by the dough. i call it the 'ang ku' ball

grease the angku mould with oil (so that it doesn't stick). and fit in the ang ku ball into the ang ku mould. 

Flatten the surface. once its flatten, knock it out on a hard surface to get the moulded ang ku out of the mould

place the moulded angku on the banana left 

(don't forget to lightly grease the banana leaf 1st before putting the angku on top of it)

send it to steam for 5 mins over medium low fire.

TA-DA..!! my angku is ready...!!! doesn't it look yummy...

Who Let The Dogs Out..whoff ! whoff !

Doggies Party Of The Year !

I thrilled when I saw on my Facebook on the invites for MDDB dogs party on 31^st August 2012 at ‘SuperPetFans Pet Center’ in The Strand, Kota Damansara.. I was thinking how cool could this be…

When I reach there is was an eye-opener.. Personally I have never been into such a lovely pet center. Even the staffs are super friendly. They took us on a tour of their center before proceeding to the café for the party.. on this ground floor is the grooming center and also the pet supplies shop. A cozy shopping environment. You can get almost anything for your pets here. Next we went to the pet lodging area. The moment I enter the pet hotel (which i think is a more suitable word for it, is located on the 1^st floor), I was wondering if it’s for human or for pets, coz the deco is so lovely with chandelier lighting and comfy doggie bed for each room (it’s room ok.. NOT cages !). Trust me, if you place your pets here over the holidays, I am very sure your pets won’t feel stress or home sick at all. My god..even i also feel like staying there...

Isn't it a lovely place for your pet to stay while you away for holiday...

After that we proceed to the café which is located on the 2^nd floor of the premise. In this café they provide not only cooked meals for human but also special home cooked food for your pets. It’s like a human-pet buddies hang out area, where you get to read your book while your pets get to play at the playground created for them..Cool ler…!! Their pricing wise? Super affordable..serious..

This is ms.chin eye for the food.."hey dude. don't hold me so tight. i want to launch attack soon" 

"hey pretty lady...feed me some while i am waiting for my pasta"

A heaven for all dogs...

The doggies play land...

They have merchandise for sale which you can give as gift for friends

The Special home cooked pasta for all the furry friends

A special cake to thank MDDB for all it's effort towards the furry friends

This is Justice...

This is the famous Mr.Gwing..(mainly this party is to celebrate his 1st anniversary with his adopter) and to thank MDDB for not giving up hope on him

Watch this video of his story...

This is Priscilla...she is an old woman who loves food..!!

Dogs from all walks of life getting to know one another...

The next time round, try bring your friends who has pets and hang out together at this particular place (while you enjoy a chat with your friends, your pets get busy getting to know each other)

My merdeka effort...

For this year merdeka celebration, i made an effort to actually visit our 1Malaysia store..since it has been open for so many years, i have never been to one before...i have heard from others that the items sold under the 1malaysia label is pretty cheap..i decided to have my try on it...

The 1Malaysia store near my home in bukit rahman putra

I bought durian ice cream (which taste like magnolia) and apple juice 1liter (which taste like fruit tree)

My total purchase only amount to RM5 , after rounding up adjustment...if in normal supermarket..it would have cost me RM8 to RM9 

Princess - My Foster Dog

An NGO that help me see the world differently...

About 3 weeks ago, i came across an update mention on my friend facebook page on  a NGO known as 'Malaysian Dog Deserve Better'. MDDB is actually an NGO that not only believe but also provide hope for all abandon dogs, lost dogs, stray dogs for a chance to be loved and have a home.

I started my first help out by fostering for a lost dog...which i name her 'princess' . Princess is a small spitz mix about 3 years old. she is a lovely dog who doesn't bark or make noise. She wont boher you , maybe occasionally she will come and peek and what you are doing, otherwise she mainly will not disturb you at all...

Her favourite will be her ikea sleeping bag (those blue shopping bag that ikea sell at their check out counters). No idea why...she just love to sleep in them...even there is pillow or towels for her, she will still choose the blue ikea bag..my hubby always tease me that the dog do look like the fosterer -which is me (who has a craze for ikea stuff)..

I was so sad that i have to send her back for the adoption drive after fostering her for 3 weeks...the night before the adoption drive i couldn't sleep..and even princess can't seem to sleep. I guess she know we will be separating very soon...i guess we have develop the so-call 'human dog buddies' relationship..but i am glad that she found a good home. Princess was adopted by 2 lovely gals from puchong. She will always be reminded in my heart.

"mmmh....why is my human taking photo of me. lets check what the big guy is doing"

"hey big guy...you sure you know what you are doing..coz you are blocking my way"
