Basking in the world of PINK

Ever since the Pink Weighing scale got introduced into my life, I couldn't live without anything that's pink! Gosh, what's happening? What's happening!

I don't deny the fact that I can be a frantic for pink occasionally but I realised that I got hooked onto it after getting married! Is it a sign of auntie-hood? Is it a sign of wannabe-girlish-hood?

Anyway, it doesnt matter. So long I dont wear pink apparels, it should be okay!

By the way, totally engrossed in Cooking and Baking recently. Was thinking of converting my blog into a Recipe sharing blog but not too sure if I have the time to do so. I'll try! The 1st step to commence would be getting some essential tools for my cooking and baking schedules. As a norm, all visitors will have to sponsor me one of the following item listen below.

Overly Delicious High Tea

Today's a special day because it's the 1st time both Hubby and me will have our mini High tea session at home. It's seriously exciting because you don't quite often get to see people having high tea session at home.

I've always longed for that and today indeed was a good timing. Hubby and me woke up early in the morning and went to Compass Point to had our breakfast at Ya Kun. We both ordered the Kaya Bread set which costs $3.90 each. It's indeed expensive comparing to the rate Kopitiams are selling. Nevertheless, its worth paying for it since the Kaya make me a happy girl even though my super big eyebags were on me.

After our breakfast, we headed to Cold storage for our usual grocery shopping. Bought tones of stuffs mainly for the high tea session. I've decided to make Mango Swiss Roll ,Rashberries Cheese cake and not forgetting Hubby's favourite Chocolate fondue.

Spent the whole whole day in the kitchen. Oh, I bought a pink weighing scale! I tell you, it's so damn chio, I totally heart it. Heh. Actually, Chicken pie was supposed to be one of the items for our High tea but due to the time constraint, we decided to hold it for some other days.

Truly enjoyed the high tea session and totally had a full delicious desserts. Hopefully, I can arrange another High tea sessions for both Hubby and my friends. I'll be putting that in my schedule~!

I'm so proud of my Mango Swiss Roll

Look at that! I'm drooling again

Too much sugar creates Hyperactives. No idea? See below and you shall know.

Indeed, too much sugar causes nut loose and hyperactives.

Art of Photoshop

Finally, the home PC is installed with Adobe Photoshop. I missed using that for like hundred years since the PC was down and everything was gone. The home PC a.k.a newest gadget we got in our home does not come with any Photoshop because that Royal Prince Charming of mine just wouldn't want to install it because he is always busy with his Bit torrent, Battlefield, Clubsnap Forum, Timepieces Forum, Tin Toy projects and the list goes on.


Furthermore, I don't really use the computer that much since I'm like dead beat after my yoga sessions. BUT, miracles create wonders and Photoshop makes me a energetic girl =P *Does that link?* Anyway, doesn't matter. Was so engross with doing Photoshop recently that I'm like sleeping at 12 near to 1am every night. YESH, EVERY NIGHT!


Royal Prince Charming a.k.a my hubby who's a super night owl even went to bed earlier than me! Man, that shows how much I adore Photoshop and how much I love photoshopping away my eye bags, pimples, fats etc etc. . .


Rachie was telling me that she wanted to learn how to photoshop her pictures. For the sake of her, Miss Rachie Lee MF, I'm gonna start a mini tutorial class for you, FOC. Listen, its FOC. If you feel like giving me a little fees, I'll be most happy to accept =p


Please see below why the world love photoshop.

Before and After Photoshop

It's not a one day skill to do that. I mean Photoshop really require practises. I used to rely Macromedia Fireworks for all my pictures and images because they do fantastic graphics and animations but after graduating from polytechnic, I switched rather more to Photoshop because I don't get to do much animations anymore.

In the above pictures, you can see that I made dramatic changes to my eyes and skin tones. So, before you starts to comment or praise me for my photoshop skills if any, let me do just one justice for myself. MY EYES AIN'T THAT SMALL LIKE THE BEFORE PICTURE. That picture was like almost 1.5 years ago and as you can see clearly, I don't really know how to apply eyeliner that well. Now, its different okay? My eyes are small when :

1. I don't get enough sleep

2. I drank too much water the night before

3. I slept too much

4. I feel sick

To prove that photoshop does take up quite an amount of time. Please see below for the 5 minutes Photoshop work that I've done. Awfully un-natural.

Come slap me tight in the face for making my eyes so disgustingly fake. I pity myself for being the Photoshop Guinea pig .
