Drama - 讀心神探 (Every Move You Make)


Crime Unit Senior Inspector, YIU HOK-SUM (Bowie Lam) has learnt his mind reading skills overseas. He is efficient and, by far, the most competent cop in his unit. He is able to analyze and read people’s minds just by observing their body language, facial expressions and from the tone of voice. In addition, he is also highly skilled when spotting disparities in testimonies and evidence.

However, his teammates find him to be a real pain in the neck. New comers, YIP CHIN-TING (Krystal Tin) and HO LAI-YIN (Bosco Wong) are especially annoyed by the unconventional way in which he does things. As a result, the pair often has confrontations and misunderstandings with the inspector. Things become worse when SUM learns that his half-sister, CHING PUI-YEE (Aimee Chan) is secretly going out with LAI, and that TING, who has recently been divorced, has a crush on him.

Drama - 公主嫁到 (Can't Buy Me Love)


Reluctant to marry into the Tibetan royal family, the wilful Princess CHIU YEUNG (Charmaine Sheh) has to find herself a husband as soon as possible. Owner of a gold store TING LOI-HEI (Susanna Kwan) recommends her second and third sons, KAM DOR-LUK (Moses Chan) and KAM DOR-SHAU (Raymond Wong) to the Princess, hoping that the royal marriage would bring them out of financial crisis and somehow save their family business.

Not wanting his brother to sacrifice for the family, DOR-LUK offers to marry the Princess himself. Shortly after the marriage, YEUNG begins to show her true self. She needs the KAMs to treat and respect her as a distinguished princess instead of a family member. Even the spiritual leader of the family Granny KAM (Lee Heung Kam) is not spared.

YEUNG’s handmaiden SZETO NGAN-PING (Fala Chen) is a haughty young woman who has no regard for anyone, not even the government matchmaker TING YAU-WAI (Kenneth Ma). The KAMs cannot put up with YEUNG anymore and decide ally and fight back. But to everyone’s surprise, NG SZ-TAK (Linda Chung), the most vigorous maid of the family takes YEUNG’s side and goes against the KAMs.

After back and forth bickering, LUK and YEUNG are on the verge of breaking up for the third time. The matter is drawn to the attention of the royal family and finally settled by Emperor TAIZONG. Marrying the Princess is supposed to bring LUK wealth and honour, but all that glitters is not always gold, especially when the bride is such a self-willed shrew.

Drama - 同伊 (Jewel In The Crown - Dong Yi)

This show is definitely in my highly recommended list. It had a good mix of everything that I enjoyed watching. From history to romance to comedy to action.



Set during King Sukjong's reign in the Joseon dynasty, Han Hyo Joo plays the court maid, Choi Sook Bin, who finds favor with the king and rises to become his concubine. Her son would later become the 21st king of Joseon, King Yeongjo. Han Hyo Joo’s character will be the main focus of the story.

Drama - 检察官公主 (Prosecutor Princess)

With X'mas parties to plan in 2010 and CNY preparations in 2011 really left me not much time to catch up with my K-Dramas. Now, finally get a chance to start my K-Drama once again and I got hooked to a very nice show.

Nice plot + nice OST = Drama that I cannot stop watching ... LOL



Ma Hye Ri is a woman with an excellent memory and ability to focus, which allowed her to pass the bar exam with ease. Despite her talents, she is more interested in being fashionable and dislikes hard work so she is far from being an ideal prosecutor and has doubts about her suitability for her job. Through her conflicts with senior colleagues and struggles with difficult cases; however, Hye Ri gradually matures into a brilliant prosecutor with a sense of duty and justice.


Here's some songs from the OST which I personally like ... ENJOY ^_^

Pampering my Hands n Feet!!!

The soft gel that I did before CNY was really good. I was told it could last for about 3 weeks and it did.

Booked an appointment with my medicurist today for my soft gel removal. Got to remove it because it started to peel already.

Hmm so what should I do to my nails this time ... I ended choose French Medicure for my hands and just the normal pedicure for my feet. The only thing is I got my medicurist to draw hearts to match the up coming Valentine's Day ^_^

At 12:35am, on 1st of CNY, Oswald's body temperature reads at 38.4C. Oh gosh ... the last one standing in the family had finally succumb to the evil virus.

Got to monitor him for the night. Hope his fever would be gone in the morning ... another restless night for mummy once again.

All gone wrong ... just b4 CNY!!!

Oh gosh ... It is 5:12am and I am still awake puking my guts out!!! This is exactly what Owein went through on Friday night. Now it is my turn. Sigh ...

Whole body ache like crazy due to the gagging. Seems like gotta drag myself to the doctor early in the morning and don't think I will be able to send Oswald to school. Luckily in laws decided to help take care of Owein ... Cannot imagine having to lag 2boys to the clinic in my sick condition.

Just before I decide to head out to see the doctor, I'd decided to call TMM to check on owein. But guess what ... Not only that owein had a relapse, my MIL is also down. Oh gosh, how bad can that be. Sent an SOS SMS to hubby for him to bring Owein to see doctor.

Hubby came back, went all the way down in law's place to bring Owein to see doctor while I rest at home. But guess who is next to see a doc after Owein. I think you must have guessed it ... it was my darling hub. Including my MIL, 4 of us are down all at the same time!!!

What a terrible way to welcome CNY, which is just a few days later.

Rest ... Rest ... Rest ... Is all what we need. Hope we will all be better just in time.

兔年快来了!!!

Getting ready to welcome 兔年!!!

This year, I'd decide to 'gel' up my nails so that I no need to head to the medicurist 2 times just to get my nails all done up for CNY.

A new gel product (soft gel) had arrived at my regular medicure shop and it is not as harmful to the nails compared to hard gel.

Macarons @ Palate Sensations

Perle and myself attended our very 1st workshop in 2011.

This is a session on Macarons with Palate Sensations. We were so looking forward to the class as we both love to eat Macarons.

Perle had a book full of Macarons receipe but we hadn't had the courage to try any of the recipe in there yet. We read about too many failures on the internet and how temperamental Macarons can be.

Ok, back to our class ... lesson starts at 10am this morning. We paid 101% attention during class and made extra effort to get our products right. This is so brain draining ... especially on a Sunday morning!!!

But just look at our results ... 100% successful Macarons!!!


We were taught how to make these too ... Chocolat Noisette ^_^


How exciting right ... ^_^

Recipe - Rice Cubes

So inspired by those pretty bentos prepared by people I am very tempted to give it a try. For a kick start, I went shopping with the boys at Daiso and let them picked up rice moulds and other decorative items.

Armed with the necessary equipments but no recipe, I've got to come up with something on my own ... LOL.

Gut feeling + imagination = Edible 'bite' size rice cubes


Not bad for 1st try and luckily both the boys like it. And when the boys like it, mummy like it too ^_^. Judging from responds, this would be one of my favourite 'to cook' dish when the boys need a fast meal or when we are on the move.

LOL ... this year I am going crazy over cookies. ^_^

After attended the cookie decoration class with Perle, it had inspired me and I'd decided to make everyone a cookie for X'mas so that I can play with ICING ... wahahaha.

20 Dec 2010, Monday. In order to present perfect cookies on our X'mas gathering on the 25th, I've decided to start practice early. I've gather all ingredients required and started making my cookie dough. As I was baking my cookies, I'd also started to gather friends to come join in the fun. After the whole afternoon of baking and the whole night of cookie decoration ... 3 girls (me, Perle and Lishan) ended the session with pride ...

** Cookie design by Lishan **

Drama - IRIS

This is an action pack drama. The 1st action pack korean drama I've watched. There were many talks about this show on Arirang (Starhub CH 146) and hence it really sparks off my interest.



The plot revolves around two friends from the 707th Special Mission Battalion recruited into a secret South Korean black ops agency known as the National Security Service. Of the pair, recruit Kim Hyun-jun begins to uncover evidence that his foggy past may not be so irrelevant to his joining of the secret organization after all. As the two friends find their loyalties tested and forge new, unlikely alliances, the journey takes them from their home country to Hungary, Japan, and China where they find themselves at the center of an international conspiracy.


For a change from romance drama, I highly recommend this!!!

Xmas Cookie Art Workshop

Today get to go attend class with Perle again. We'd sign up for a Xmas Cookie Art Workshop with Sugar Inc. It had been a while since we last went for class together ... so excited.

At the workshop, we were given a cookie recipe to follow and make our own cookie. After that, the rest of the time is spend decorating up the cookies. That is also the main attraction for us to attend this workshop.

Really had great fun today ... check out our creativity!!!

K-Pop - 2AM (Like Crazy)

With nice voice and good 'acting skills', this group brings out the sorrows in the song. Unlike most K-Pop groups who enhance the music with dance move or their talent with musical instrument. This group sole touches you with their voice ... style very similar to Bohemian. But I find their voice more manly compared to Bohemian whose voice is so angelic.

Enjoy the music ^_^

Check out their LIVE performance.
