For those who celebrates Chinese New Year i would like to wish you Xin Nian Kuai Le! For me CNY means a long break for me from work..still it feels too short for me to shout Horrayyy..will be going back to KL tomorrow night:(

This festive season break ive been baking and making dishes! Considered that i do not have an oven and complete kitchen utensils back in kl, this is the only time i would bake and cook for my ownself n for my family.

1 tablespoon buttercup

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 apple (peeled & sliced)

1 or 2 slice fruit bread/white bread (toasted)

honey syrup

Methods: Fry the butter on the pan with grounded cinnamon. Add apple slices and fry it for a few minutes until the apple turns brown. Once cooked, pour it onto bread (that already toast) and lastly pour the honey syrup.

For Cake

2 eggs
3/4 cups vegetable oil
1 cups white sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped pecans/almonds

For Frosting
1/2 cup buttercup
8 ounces cream cheese
3 cups confectioners/granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans/almonds

Methods: Beat all the cake ingredients in a large bowl and add grated carrots together with pecans/almonds. Pour the mixture into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool it off for 10 minutes before frosting. For frosting, beat all the ingredients in another bowl and add the pecans/almonds together with the mixture.Once done it is ready to be frost on the cake:)

It was a short break for me before i start work again next monday.So yesterday me and Mr.E have decided to have our little adventure together. We went across another state just to have a great coffee time and bread toasts! Its a day roadtrip-sounds insane right?but that's what an 'adventure' suppose to be! :D

The shop is actually located at the kluang railway station itself.That's how they've gotten their name from..."Kluang Rail Coffee":) They've got so famous and were franchised all over especially in KL, they have also one franchise here in my hometown Malacca-but it is sad to say that the originality of the taste is gone:( The real original Kluang Rail Coffee shop is so much better plus with the real environment where actual trains past you by:)

wearing: polka dot ribbon headband-i bought it from random store.print ribbony shirt from Forever21.pants-MNG.stripey shoes-Brands Outlet.blackrose ring from Diva (no close up here).

Im going back to KL this Sunday to prepare myself for work...hurmph~ 1 week break is definitely not enough! Probably this is gonna be my last post for this year. I hope i get to update more frequently as i have so much things to share.But my next entry would be a while as i didnt have proper internet connection back in kl. So please do keep in touch with me via fb and twitter (i can connect these via phone). For those who haven't added me yet, you are welcome to do so...i would love to hear from all of you more in 2011 (get out from the closet gorgeous! we could manage a blogger meet up one day! i would really2 love to do so). My wish for 2011: though i know its gonna be a challenging sucky year for me, but with God bless i hope i could go through it all.

As irony as it sounds i dont have new year resolutions and i dont believe in it...cuz for me if you want something to get it done you can get it done now, if u feel like u want to change yourself to be a better person the next day,you could take that spirit and change on the next day itself.You dont have to wait for a year to do so:) But i believe in wish(doa) and prayers so i wish and pray for all of you the best of 2011! Be a good daughter/son, a good friend and a good person as a whole, always be greatful with what you have and remember Him in everything you do:) Happy New Year everyone! Till we meet again next year!;) signing off for 2010.

Now and then... by nayrell

Technically speaking last saturday night i went to berbuka puasa-ing with my girlfriends at Tony Roma's the curve.Chit chatting, gossiping,rantings about life and whats new&latest bout each other.The night is filled with surprises..one of 'em had jump into a part time modeling carrier and planned to leave her current firm to a new firm, another just started to work in a well known firm owned by the current Minister of Women, and another good friend of mine who also happens to be my ex-colleague for a brief while had just started her passionate carrier in SUHAKAM (stands for Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Malaysia-the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia). Wow~ my brain is still trying to digest these news all at once.Deep in my heart i was soo proud of my girls success and what they had achieved in life.Time does flies with a blink of an eye.I wish all these young aspiring lawyers the best of luck.And as for me..there's nuthin much to say, just the same old ordinary me:) My work is almost come to an end as i decided not to extend my terms here, and there's a BIG decision that i have to make for my next move.Hope He will show me the way, what's best for me.In a mean time i'll keep praying and with a bit of luck i hope everything will goes well...

I bought a plant to replace my dead one that was lacking of love and care:( i should have buy 2 as both of my plants were dead,so i still have one small empty pot still waiting to be filled.With that, we ended the night and said our goodbyes.

Fullfilling weekend... by nayrell

my menu : grill chicken chop with mushroom gravy

I actually discovered this particular restaurant was when i watched 'Jalan jalan cari makan' (a tv program that does reviews&recommendations for the best places to eat, in town and outside of town.yes im a food hunter people!:D) and without thinking twice, i hunted down the place and give it a shot.Seriously it was one of the best place that you MUST TRY if ur looking for an ala carte western cuisines to fill ur appetite.

I couldn't recalled each one of the cuisines name to recommend, but seriously just randomly pick anything from the menu...you wont be dissapointed! This is my second time by the way..and am looking foward to go there again next time. And if you're wondering what is the name of the restaurant, it is called Big Brothers Restaurant & Grill...keep that in mind folks!;)

mr.E menu: grill chicken chop with mashed potatoes

miss Aizul menu: home made hamburger (the patty is thick and xl size)

Cupcakes and Happy Hearts by nayrell

Last Saturday I had my 'sweet tooth craving calls'. Hence i decided to drop by at Cupcake Chic with Mr.E tagging along.Before filling myself with sugar frosting, we did managed to walk around in shopping malls .I was quite frustrated cuz there’s sales frenzy everywhere(am broke), but as soon as my teeth sunk in to those delectable cupcakes, I was SUGAR-HIGH-FLYING and I could see colours of RAINBOWS once again! >.<

Cupcakes can really do magic and wonders!Dont u guys think so?
