Trip to Boringham!

One lazy noon to Birmingham with Burger King's Chicken Royale.

Pixeled block building.


Walk along the freezing iced sungai. Nope, she din't fall. Just playing with the ice.


The German Market. London is prettier.





Instead of kaya ball, this one is flatter and topped with Nutella.


Hang Li Poh restaurant reminds me of my Grandma in Malacca.





Whatever chinese resturant that we passed by all the time but never dine in.


3 roast meat rice.

This is where we stayed. No, not a hotel but an apartment.
Looks like Police Diraja's hostel, isnt? hhaha!





Last but not least, it's Thong Yuen day so we decided to make thong yuen but this time it's in longish shape. We dint do this on purpose. It's just so happened when we pour them
inside a bowl. ahahaha!

Rain is in white

That's literally called SNOW! I received a sms from my friend telling me it's snow outside. I woke up and stared outside my window; it just started to snow. Compared to last year, snow came late this year and the scenery around my place is not that pretty =( A couple of days I've read from adik's blog regarding about the sleet in London and he had the feeling of going to have snow soon. I was like "NOooooooooooooo~no snow please". Not say I don't like seeing snow. I like it but I just don't like it when the snows end. It will caused sleet and making the street in a mess! Therefore, I'm going down London for Boxing Day! I just thought of wearing lesser clothes instead of super thick winter clothes =( damn damn!!!! Go away snow! RAWR!

This what I see everyday whenever I looked out compared to my previous house I lived. The moment I looked out, I see kids playing on their mini playground. How sweet <3

Oh, and and this is my first video I've edited using Windows Media Maker! hahaha! Video taken by Mochi (captured video without sound) It's pretty simple than I thought. I only took a couple of minutes to make a video with music. Will make another video that I have previously took using Mochi in London. It would be great. hahahaha!




And and, let me introduce my friend, the TOAD! It is actually a candy casing. It's too cute for me to NOT buying it and I'm willing to fork out 3.50pounds to get this cute little thing.

Filled with onigiris

My stomach filled with 4 smoked salmon onigiris & kimichi for 'branch' and enjoy it with Born Rich episode 23. My mom called me on Skype after 20 minutes =.= and we chat for more than 1 and a half hours. As soon as we ended our chat, I've finally finished my onigiris. I couldn't even swallow anymore waters. Filling die =.=

This time, my onigiris are too dry compared to my first ones and I've added some sushi vinegar. I think is not a good idea to add vinegar first because your rice will eventually became sticky and dry-ish. It turns out ok tho :D I guess I'll stop making onigiris until I feel like making. It's a nightmare for eating too many onigiris today. aaaaaaaaaaah~

My first time <3

My first time playing Monopoly City.

This is one of my favourite board game however, this Monopoly City's rules is rather confusing! I need to crack my head to understand the rules logically. The rules book provided inside is isn't clear enough!! There's a lot of possibilities and confusions when reading the guide book. I just don't understand why din't they make it clear? Monopoly City's rules are completely different from the original Monopoly game except for the "Go to jail and double dice" rules! I've done research in the internet & I've found some players are having the same problems too. Seriously, they should guide us in details! Does anyone knows how to play Monopoly City?

My first time visiting Christmas Market.

When I walked to the market, the first thing that came into my mind was "DISNEYLAND"! hahaha! I never been to any Disneyland but somehow, decorations and architecture makes me feel so. It had very christmas feel. There are ferris wheel, rollercoaster, FOODS, accesories and lots more! If you happened to visit London, don't forget to visit Christmas Market! Nearest station Hyde Park Corner and Marble Arch (10 minutes walk. You will see a ferris wheel on your right from Marble Arch station).





My first time made onigiri.

I've bought the rice mould from Japan Centre. It was too cute for me to NOT buying it! hahaha! First try, a little bit fail because my rice is too wet =( I sprinkled some dry seaweeds and added fried potatoes.



My first time baking cupcakes.


I never learn how to bake anything before. When I was younger, I often seen my mom baked muffins, cream puff, cookies and all however, i never get to steal any recipes and technique from her because I was too young to learn. hahaha! My mom stop baking after awhile because she said it's too much of hassle preparing ingredients and make a mess during the process. It was our anniversary a couple of days ago so I've decided to bake cupcakes for him <3>


Well, this is my first time. What about yours? =) Christmas is coming! Are you ready for a HUGE turkey? Wrapping presents? Shoppings? Prepare all of them before christmas eve! Have fun!

Portobello Market @ Notting Hill Gate

Portobello Market is one of the tourist attraction in UK because of a movie called Notting Hill where Julia Roberts meets Hugh Grant. I was not interested in that movie so I watch it for 20 mins and I eventually fell asleep. hahah! Supposed to meet my friend there but it was MEGA LOTS OF PEOPLE!!! You wouldn't get to stop in front of the street and take picture for a min because the crowd just keep walking and walking and walking towards you.

Surprisingly, after more than a year I've been living in UK, I only sat in a typical London's black car taxi twice. hahaha!


It's roughly about 20 mins from Marble Arc to Notting Hill Gate by car. Here you go, the Portobello Market!! They sell most of the antique stuff, arts, photography, new items, food and vegetables. This market are divided into various section from antique stuff to food.






They have lots of cute acessories and vintage bag but I guess because it is a tourist spot, that's why their prices were way to costly. This little hat pin cost about 3.50 pounds.




The Good Fairy sell really really old stuff like old cds, deorations, cutlery and more. Their cutlery doesn't seems to be clean at all. Looks like they just search it under a decade long kitchen or whatever.


Look at this stupid tiny bottles! It's at 3 pounds each. What a rip off @.@ Melaka got more lah and it's only like RM1.5? hahaahah!
Even every little things like that, they do sell it there. The seller was both old woman & man. Looks like they lelong their stuff which they bought it from China or where ever =.= Maybe bought it in Malaysia. hahaah!


Wooo~ I love this!! Antique "portable" cameras!! I wonder where they get those. Probably the seller owned a camera shop decades ago. Tak laku that's why they are here. hahah! Not cheap. Price ranging from 50 pounds - 200 pounds.


Those stamps are hand craft by an old man.



Look! It's a PAC CHOI! hahaha!

This seafood platter only cost 4 pounds and they give freaking alot. However, don't be happy with the amount of seafood they gave. You will eat until you puke @.@







I dont know what rice is this but I have to tell you, it's yummmyy!!
