Update


This will be a short update.
Got back from KL meeting cousins from The States. Duhh I miss them sooooo much. Been not meeting them up for five years. Time flies.
Brother and I were welcomed with big hugs when we first arrived *warmss*. Both cousins Wan Teng and Willam didn't changed much. Cousin sis was just the same, just Willam got big a bit. Taller would be better, then it'll make a perfect guy =P
Went around hunting for food mostly during those few days. Dim sum, grill fish, char kuey teow....and lotsa more. Not to mention homecook dishes. Gees~ =D
Waiting both cousins to come back Kampar next Monday and we'll be starting our whole bunch of journeyssss,hoho~ =D
They're at Redang right now,make me so jealous with the diving. Aiksss~ Next year! Next year I'll be taking the diving course. Wait me!!! >.< 0 comments

Scones!!!

Didn't try scones before until one day Aunt Esther homemade some and offered me them. Was totally in love with the buttery fragrance and of course, the sweet soury taste of the cranberries! *me loves everything related to berries!* =P
According to Aunt Esther, the secret recipe of this cranberry cream scones was the cream cheese added in it. It was the secret ingredient that made it remain soft and crumbly the next day. Even you put it in the fridge and reheat it after that, it remains moist and soft and crumble. How awesome!
Aunt told me that she got the recipe from a food blog of her friend and so I quickly got it and tried it on myself last night. Oh ya, yesterday was the last day of my work, and I baked to 'distress' XD

Killer Cranberry Cream Scones
recipe from wendyinkk

125gm all purpose flour
125gm cake flour (original recipe only called for all purpose, I substituted half with this as a safety measure)
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
80gm dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
120gm cream cheese, room temp
30gm butter
90ml milk
1 egg, 1 Tbsp removed for glazing

Glaze
1 Tbsp egg mix with 1 tsp milk
Extra melted butter for glazing

1. Preheat oven at 200C. Combine both flours and baking powder. Sift twice to aerate. Mix in salt.
2. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.
3. Combine egg and milk and pour into (2).
4. Mix with a spoon until moistened. Lightly mix in cranberries.
5. Spoon batter into floured moulds and lightly tap to flatten. Lift mould carefully. (I didn't use moulds, I shaped them myself)
6. Glaze scones with egg mixture.
7. Bake for 9 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and quickly brush on melted butter. Put them back into the oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
9. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
10. Serve warm with butter and jam. (I tried butter and it was lovely)


I ate them with a glass of milk and it was totally awesomeeeee!!! 0 comments

In The Progress

Just realized that its already more than a month since that incident happened.
After a talk with my jimui leow leow last night, I've made a decision. Enough la, really.
Maybe there won't be any 'to be continued' episodes coming after this, but I really do didn't regret for those times. At least I've did my best during the past and its time to go on. Really, its time to go on. I told myself.
Prayed hard to seek strength. Heavenly Father is my refuge and source of wisdom. May Your joy and peace be with me till I meet the one. Grant me content during these periods and look forward.

SKINFOOD ♥

I'm totally an idiot in skincare and cosmetics but as I grow, I've started to be conscious about it, hoping it won't be too late,haha XD And once I started with Skinfood, i just can't help falling in love with it
The first Skinfood product I owned was the Aloe Sun BB cream. After pondering for some time about which brand's BB cream I should buy and browsing over reviews about it, finally I settled down with this. And hoho, it really didn't turned me down.
Just as other Skinfood products. it comes with super duper nice packaging! Packaging is really a crucial factor in nowadays marketing sales,hoho =P
I thought of buying a BB cream because I don't do make ups(I'm a make-up idiot >.<). But with just a BB, it'll give you some kinda natural and 'no make up' feel. Suits for me,haha =D
Like what many reviews said, this Aloe Sun BB Cream from Skinfood feels light as if you didn't apply anything on your face. It has perfect oil controlling functions too as BB cream tends to make your face oily, like what my friends experienced with other brands' BB. Somemore, it smells good! ^.^
For some random outings, I just apply this after the skincare steps and tadaa! Ready for outings,haha =D
Been recommending this for my girls too =)
I'm using Skinfood masks too as Helen complimented that their masks are really great! And after trying them out myself, they're really good. And till now, I've owned quite some types of them. Can't resist =P
All of them are great, especially the Rice Mask Wash Off. It was among the top sellers of Skinfood products. Its formula softens the skin and lifts dead skin cells. The rice grounds did feel nice and helped to massage the dead cells away. It has some whitening effects too as the skin kinda brightens when u wash it off. Heard that their Black Sugar Wash Off works well too, might get it someday =P
They have mask sheets too and this is the only one that I've tried out. According to the beauty advisers when I visited their outlet the other day, I had dry skin that she recommended me to try this out. Its a watermelon mask sheet, it really smells watermelon when I put them on, lmao XD
Truly, it is very moisturizing. It keeps my face hydrated whole day long on the day I tried it. Might getting it again perhaps. =)
The latest product I got from skinfood was this. The Pink Salt Body Scrub.
I've been having some skin problems on my upper arms for quite some time. It was like some kinda little breakouts, which the difference is they appear on my upper arms instead on my face =.=lll I wonder why. It was annoying although they're not obvious, but I do mind. It makes me feel that I had skin disease. Aiksss >.<
So, the other day when I went to Skinfood outlet, I asked one of the beauty advisers what product should I use to get rid of them. She recommended me their body scrub to scrub them off. It was the new product in their outlet and it just arrived the day before I bought it, LOLX.
After trying it for some time, my skin problem really did improve as the breakouts became less and even fading! How happy I was, totally impressed. ^.^
Skinfood products I've owned untill now. Still counting!♥ 0 comments

7th of June

It's 7th of June. It's your birthday.
Called you up on the very right time when the clock strikes 12am and pop! Being turned down.
Never. It never happen in my life for the past five years, I'm always the first. Heartache.
Got your reply after about an hour and yes, exactly as what I'd thought of.
It's not as easy as I thought I can. But I'll try.
I believe there's a strong me inside. I'll be able to do it.
Still emo-ing. But it'll fade. With time.
Be calm, stay still and wait patiently. Commit in Your hands.


Happy birthday. Best wishes to you. 0 comments

Heartache

Have you experienced pain at the right hand side of your chest?It's like the heart had a hole in it. Very pain, heartache.
Been experiencing heartaches these few days. Been emo-ing these few days. Been saddening these few days. Been recalling memories these few days. Been waiting for texts these few days.
I've never regret in making decisions in my life before. This is the only decision that I regretted. One decision I've made last year.
I'm late. Perhaps, late for a forever. 2 comments

Grandma, we'll meet in the Heavens

Haven't been updating for some time due to cases in my family. Not something good though.
Grandma of maternal side of mine had passed away on last Thursday. Ya, although we've known this day would probably arrive very soon during those period as Grandma actually was diagnosed with colon cancer last year before Christmas. But still, everyone were sad on the loss. We mourned and grieved during the three days funeral ceremony. Times were hard for all of us, especially Mum.
Anyhow, deep down, we feel gratitude and give thanks to God as we knew actually Grandma had been set free from illness and pain. No more tears, no more worries. Grandma is now resting in God's arm, enjoying the promising joy and peace in the Heavens.
Thank God for giving us this hope---the reunion of all of us in the promised land one day. I believe Grandma will be waiting for us with her lovely wide smile at the doorsteps.
Ya, Grandma loved to smile very much. A joyful and jovial lady whom we loved a lot.

Loads of  memories with beloved Grandma. Here are some of them during cny, family gatherings, birthdays, mother's day...








Grandma has lotsa sons, daughters and us, grandchildren who loved her very much. She'll be forever in our hearts.





Jesus is the Lord of my family

Rest In Peace, Grandma~


And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4


With love,

Happy Weekend!

Started my morning with the sunshine. Oh yeah, there was a big sun this morning, haha! :D
After brushing up, went for the household chores. Cleaning the windows and mopping the floor. Not to mention changing the bedsheets after the cleaning jobs. With my younger brother, of course. XD
Dealing with households works are common during weekends, to lend mummy a helping hand as she really has a lot of things to deal with everyday. MAMA IS SUPERB ♥ And also, as an exercise for myslef la, cause I hardly sweat after my schooldays. Very unhealthy jor >.<
It always make me feel good after done with the whole house because it feels clean, like it 'blinks' XD
Then I went for bathing, with a body scrub, hoho~ Then pampered myself with lotions and masks *winks* That's what girls do during weekends, haha XD *Skinfood lovesss*
The whole me is so moisturized and happy...Nightout with the girls tonite, as a farewell for ps. She'll be going for the National Service next week. Lucky her! Haha! =P
HAPPY WEEKEND PEOPLE!^.^ 2 comments

Happy Mama Day!

Spent this year's Mother's Day with both my mothers---who are my biological mum and my godmother (whom i called laima XD) *lovesss*
Celebrated Mother's Day at noon in Wah Loong old house as we were celebrating with waipo. Godmum tag along too. Very happy indeed. ^.^
So, there were my own mummy, my laima and my mummy's mummy---waipo...confused???Many mama XD
Asked my younger brother go out to buy bundles of carnations this very early morning. Carnation is a must during Mother's Day, right? At least I'm buying it for mum every year don't know since when. However, this year I bought for many mums, hehe.
Presented mum one in the early morning before heading to church. And I bought for godmum and godsis too, hehe =) Of course, not excluding waipo and aunt. =)
Bought pizzas to waipo's place while mum ordered fried mee, meehoon and fried rice from our shop. Had some nice time there. Headed out for dinner with laima & her family later in the evening. =)

carnations for mum ♥
lovely ♥
Grant both my mums and waipo with Your pouring blessings, God. With great health and Your joy always.

Dreams come true

Got a big news this noon. Someone who posses an important position in my life, who is a HE, suddenly texted me and told me that he had accepted Jesus Christ through prayer. How overjoyed I am!
Although this dream of mine came true after few years, and its late for some instant, that I waited very long till I've lost faith and lost patience and I eventually gave him up. But never mind, most important is, it finally came true. It was always my biggest dream in the past few years.
I've got to know that he was currently serving in Lutheran Church, never heard before, but I'll gotta get know of it more later. He built good relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ and seek for pastor when he faces problems and things which he doesn't understand in the Bible. This is all that I wish him to be before, being a christian and leads a healthy christian life.
On that very moment I got this news, I prayed and give thanks to God, for my prayer is answered although it took a long waiting period and many sorrows, tears, unhappiness. So much touched that time, and I finally relieved. =)
I believe that God has His plans that He answered my prayer at this time. He sure knows everything well. God has His time.
Most important is, don't lose faith and keep praying as you don't know when is His time. I've learned. =)

Dear Heavenly Father, teach me to be forgiving like You~

Can't imagine Satan's work is going on so much publicly nowadays. Perhaps I'm living in a still considered sin-less environment, that's why the incident happened in my current working place is so much terrifying to me. Really didn't imagine such case will happen to me, and friends I've known for years were included. It hurts me, and surprisingly, it affects me a lot. At that very night I know the truth, I had insomnia. I didn't aspect it affects me this much, maybe subconsciously, I really do care them, but they disappointed me.
Oh Lord Father, please forgive them, and grant me strength. Jesus said, 'Forgive them, Father! They don't know what they are doing.'(Luke 23:34) Father please have mercy, wake up their lost soul and show them Your grace. And strengthen me, to be the testimony of You.
Anyway, I've feel better now. Pray for them =)

Blogskin scandal

I still don't have time to figure out how to change my blogskin yet. Aiksss~>.<
I want it to be with the strawberry theme as me really lovey strawberry super duper muchie =P somemore it should be suit with my blog name.*Strawberry loves* hoho~ ^.^
Okay, enough for craps XD
Went for sushi king bonanza yesterday with ps and her colleagues. Not syok eating actually. Maybe its because imma not really close with them yet although I went to their place to 'blow water' every day. And maybe, generation gap (oops, did I say that???LOLS XD) Just kidding, easy people, haha =D
Actually not syok eating is because we didn't get to eat many types of sushi that day. The stupid...emm, should I call them 'sushi guru-s'??? as I don't know what are they called in english,lolx. They're totally in slow motion while making the sushi-sss lor. That's why in the one hour of limited dining time, we just managed to eat few types. Sobsss T.T
One thing very strange I found out was, izzit Kampar Utarians don't eat sushi-s with raw fishes such as salmon and scallops? They were grabbing the eggs only. Its just hard-boiled egg with colestraw i think? And its with normal price. Wonder why~ =.=lll
The sushi belt was full with salmon and scallop sushi-s. So strange! You guys were scared of radioactive pollution is it?LOLX~ common sense larr, salmon not only found in Japan ge lor, somemore I don't think Japan food are still imported into Malaysia. @.@
Somemore I miss eating with the girls. The feel is totally different as we fooled around as we eat. Ohh I miss the days~ >.< 0 comments

Easter brought me good news~

Its Easter Day!
A day that should be celebrated with great joy as our Lord Jesus had rose on the third day after He died for us sinners on the cross. Such great love that no other can give.He died innocently on the cross, just to obey Heavenly Father's. He bled to cleanse us, to set us free from sins, and to give us hope, the eternal life as He had conquered death.
So, on this very third day, we should celebrate it with great joy!My heart was filled with joy the whole day as Easter Day reminds me about the hope that God gave me. I'm no longer feared. Thank God for I was the chosen one since I was young. I was brought to Sunday School since young to know about God and also gifted to serve when I've grown up.*give thanks give thanks* ^.^
Hmm...get an Easter egg from church as usual years did. Its actually a red egg that we used to get on our birthday,haha. Never mind la,same same larrr XD
I'm the Easter egg ^.^
Never get an Easter bunny leh...should be cute and sweet...and in colourful easter eggs!!!*winks*
cute ehh??? =D
Actually do you know why Easter Day are related to bunnies and eggs??? They're totally not related to christianity, haha. It was originate from the western culture that rabbits and eggs represents new life. This is because rabbits give birth to a lot of bunnies once and for eggs, no need me to explain further larrr~LOLX
So tadaa! There goes Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs during Easter Day. There was one Big Bunny going around Tesco today, giving away candies. It came in and gave me some too...Aww so sweet~ XD
But do remember people, Easter Day is to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death, for you and for me. I love Him much too.
God really do loves you very much my dear, think again

p/s: got a good news this morning...hope it'll come true =) 


Till then, xx

It's Good Friday

Its Good Friday and the sky was gloomy whole day...its feeling sad too huh?I guess~
Hmmm...thought of starting blogging for past few weeks before I ended my teaching job because I feel some strong sense of writing but yet I'm too lazy to start off,haha!So,Imma off today(yea, from my new job that has a not-so-healthy working environment =x) and I'm so free the whole morning after my morning devotion and try DIY curling my hair(a new hairstyle in need!),so there goes this bloggie get started...hoho~
After I ended my teaching job, when i saw little kids in the church's Sunday school or when my students called me ''潘老师'' when they saw me somewhere...it somehow makes me recall my teaching life...ohhh I miss my kids so much >.< and of course, the easy and relax working life. Its has short working hours and I had plenty of my own personal time after school. *baking and movie loves* Somemore I got to see cute little smiling faces everyday and for sure, they brighten my day. Yeah I love kids ^.^

 see how joyful are them! lovesss~ ^.^



For now, my job its a super duper big contrast! Gotta deal with kinda many leceh customers...Aiksss~ >.< Not gonna talk much about this anyhow.
Back to teaching, I think I had real passion in it! It somehow makes me feel like I'm doing a very meaningful job as I get to teach the kids to study, to calculate, to sing and to play a flute( ya I teach music classes XD)...From something that the kids don't know at all to they understand and  master the skills is a great progress. Can I say, its magical. I feel real happy when they did well, I can see them through homeworks they hand in. =)
They're just simply innocent and ya, teacher really do play a main role in a kid's life. "Teacher's one word is better than parent's ten phrases" as many mama says,haha XD Teach them the right from wrong is an important thing too. When kids got into a fight, or bully-ing cases, ask them to say sorry to each other is what I always do...learn to apologize and to forgive...It's not easy okay, even many adults couldn't do that,serious saying...Not just spilting the words from your mouth, but mean it...hope it works =D
One more thing is, kids love story tellings *winks* Actually I didn't manage to tell them much, but at least I told some classes about Adam & Eve which I was sharing gospel at the same time,sowing seeds ^.^ and for standard2 kids was the story from their working exercise book, animal stories...get me?Neh, those kiddo stories with the monkeys and lions,haha XD I got actions, face expressions and voice switching ehhh, professional leh...never know I can do that,haha! *proud of myself* I got real talents, should go for story telling during my primary school times XD
Think I really do miss my teaching, feel so happy now although I'm just writing it out...I miss the days >.<
Arrghh...forget about it...be prepared for tonite's Good Friday prayer meeting and gals night out follows...some celebration *lovesss*

this touches me the most *loves* worth my all efforts <3

Till then, xx
