My Stash at Miri Town

I went to Miri for CNY holiday, yep, hubby bought the tickets, yeppi! I bought this Elizabeth Arden color kit and the main reason I bought it because of the design. But the colours were also beautiful, I love the coral colour- soft pink, light gold, the brown and white.

EA Cream Eyeshadow

EA Lip Gloss

EA Lip Gloss
From left (bottom) to right:
Golden Pearl, Mandarin Shine, Sheer Starlight and Honey Glaze



I did take pictures right away after I opened the box but since I'm at my in-laws house, I can't seem to find the perfect angle to snap the picture. I decided to take picture when I'm back home, that's why the palette is in that condition ;p

The packaging is really cute and I love it! For the eyeshadow, I don't really know how to use cream eyeshadow, but I found the perfect solution. I use the Moonlight (pearly white) as an cream highlighter, where I use it to highlight my cheekbone, the bridge of the nose, tip of my lips and eyes area. I use the Mink (dark brown) as a countering. The Shell (soft pink) is as a cream blusher! It's really worth it. 


For the lip gloss, I don't really like to apply it on my lips because I found it's sticky and have a particular scent to it, which I don't favors. The colours are pretty and shows up on my lips but I didn't use it that much because of the reasons I mentioned.

Ok, next..

The most flat sandals that I love! Bata @rm30++

I went to airport straight in my office wear and high heels and because I'm in rushed, I forgot to pack my sandals. So I told hubby that I need to buy sandals. We went to two malls but I can't seems to find sandals that I like. When I found something that I like, hubby was giving me this no-no look and I was "what? huh.... " I can't understand his taste at all. 

Then, we went to Merdeka Mall, it's a new mall in  town and the quest was paid off at Bata. The first time I put it I don't feel any different from the rest of the sandals that I've tried. It look simple and bleh.. it didn't look attractive to me, but this one is a keeper! I feel really comfortable wearing it. It gives me this fluffy feeling even though it's flat, dead flat. The funny things is hubby recommended this flat sandals and said that it gave me a strong character wearing it. Emm.. 

Next..

Black killer heels, bought at Lea Centre, Emilio Valentino @rm109

I just love the bows!

I love this heels. I'm so happy that Lea Centre at Miri still have this heels in my size! Super-dupper happy! :D The first time I met her was a week before Christmas last December. I didn't buy it that time because I just bought my wedges heels for Christmas. After a month, I still kept thinking about it! This was a clear proof that I need to get it. So I went back at City Mall, went straight to Lea Centre, but turns out they don't have my size anymore, it's only size 4 available, all the sizes was sold out! Y___Y I went back home with a broken heart and feeling regret. I hate the feeling.

As soon as I saw Lea Centre at Merdeka Mall, I was happy! I quickly scanned the whole racks and saw this heels at the front racks :)) I just love to see her on my shoes rack everyday.

CNY Holiday!~


During Chinese New Year holiday, we went back to my hubby hometown from 20th till 28th. The whole week I was there, hubby granted my everyday wishes which was.. durian, durian and durian! Just that, it was more expensive to buy durian in town, around rm10/kg and above, whereas I can buy durian in KK for just rm4/kg! But yeah, I still want it and hubby is really a sweetheart! :D


Tatura Cream Cheese @rm7, Khong Guan Saltcheese Biscuits @rm3, evaporated milk @rm2


Sis-in-law made this layered cream cheese biscuits using Khong Guan Saltcheese Biscuits, Tatura Cream Cheese and evaporated milk. She mixed the cream cheese with milk until it become a smooth paste. She placed the biscuits on first layer and then layered it with the paste.  The thickness of the layered paste depends on you, I like it not too thick because I don't want to feel like I'm eating cheese cream only. There, you have your layered cream cheese biscuits!

After that, just put the layered cream cheese biscuits in the fridge and leave it for at least three hours to allow the biscuits to absorbs the cream cheese paste. The longer you leave it in the fridge, the better it taste. If you eat it within the three hours fridge time, you will eat two things, a biscuit and cream cheese, not layered cream cheese biscuits. I know this because I tried it hehehe...


This is really yummeh-licious biscuits lapis ever!

The taste was so yummehlicious and no, it's not sweet. It looks sweet but it's not because we used evaporated milk and my sis-in-law put the milk just enough to sweeten it.




Slice the layered cream cheese biscuits into small pieces and make a hot cup of coffee, there.. my afternoon will be so.. satisfying :)





One more unique thing that I found during my stay this time was this. Mum-in-law used these 'periuk kera' and put half cooked sticky rice in it and then steamed it until the sticky rice is fully cook!

How amazing these are! I never knew such method exists, I thought periuk kera is only to look-look and see plant. 



About the taste, was it any different from the usual cooking method? I can't really say yes, because I didn't find the taste urm.... strongly different? It was still sticky rice taste. The periuk kera did give a slight aroma to the rice which was pleasant and savory smell, I don't know how to describe it but you won't noticed it anyways if no one told you it was cooked using periuk kera. I noticed the aroma because I was trying too hard to smell it, lol!

Too bad, I woke up late that morning, so I didn't managed to see how mum-in-law cook the sticky rice and put it in the periuk kera. I woke up with food ready on the table... everyday actually, hehe.


Chocolate and Butter Orange Cup Cakes

I bought these at my office, the cake seller was selling it from door to door, floor to floor.

Cup cakes, a box @rm5. Two chocolates and one butter orange.


The chocolate cup cakes were super yum-meh! 

I don't want to buy it at first because I had lunch and quite full. But the cake seller brought it to my office room and I felt bad for him not buying anything. Plus it's chocolate and was only rm5 a box.



The final piece.. 

Totally worth it. Thinking back now, it's quite cheap for a yummylicious taste with only rm5 for three cup cakes!
