GARTIEN PINEAPPLE CAKES PENANG IS STORMING THIS COMING CHINESE NEW YEAR 2014 WITH NEW PACKAGING DESIGNS

Christmas is just around the corner but did you realize that some places started to play Chinese New Year songs? I bet some of you started to feel the frus on what to buy as gifts for your friends and relatives. perhaps some Pineapple cake? Here's a choice for you.  

Gartien (小田佳園), a local pineapple cakes manufacturer, located within a heritage house along Lorong Macalister, Penang. Best of all, they are coming out with fresh new packaging designs and that what makes them stood out from the rest. The little pineapple cake packages have Chinese ink printing of Peony (Mudan/牡丹) flowers, the theme set for Chinese New Year 2014.

The new packaging designs looking elegant in red and gold just too presentable as a gift box. 500 sets have been been booked by their valuable friends and customers. So, what are you waiting for?

Mine just arrived safely and wow!!! I can have GARTIEN even in KL!!!How cool right?

 elegant in red and gold 

I'm surprise that despite the journey from penang, the little pineapple cake still remain in a good condition!
so...no worries about that!

  Chinese ink printing of Peony (Mudan/牡丹) flowers

 For me, the best way to have my pineapple cake is to pair with a cup of warm Chinese Tea.
Best combination of teatime!

 I love the fragrance from the slightly brownish outer skin of GARTIEN pineapple cake.

 and the size is just nice for me and hold and have a bite on it!

 As no preservatives and artificial flavoring, and please kept in refrigerator for its freshness.

 I love GARTIEN's filling more than the rest because it has more fiber compared to others. Which means they used more fresh pineapple in their ingredients rather than some artificial pineapple taste.

 Ohh my gosh!!!Just love the chewy filling and it's not overly sweet. Even my parents give two thumbs for this!

Bonjour Garden Bakery Cafe,The Intermark K.L

I'm a huge fan of bread and I guess it's an influenced by my dad because he can have bread as his meal for the whole day! Freaky right? I love bread as it has a variety and I won't get bored of eating it in different sizes, textures and tastes! Out of so many, sour dough is always my choice because I love the love the natural bread fragrance but be careful as the texture is harder than the rest so you have to chew it slowly.  

I'm so glad when the invitation came in and finally you can have Bonjour nearer in K.L area which is located in The Intermark. The latest lifestyle garden cafe storms town, exhibiting Japanese at its french best!

终于病倒了。。。

突然伤风、喷嚏打个不停
喉咙又干又痛、气喘也回来了

好久没病了
病一下下
也好的
虽然辛苦
但这是让我真正沉淀下来、让我休息的唯一途径
听起来有些可悲吧 
从踏入社会到现在
才体会到在家休息的可贵
一旦有假期
我都会选择留在家
就是享受躺在沙发
什么都不碰的那种感觉
可是如此机会确实是少之又少
现在我的时间表可说是早出晚归
9点早上出门
12点才回到家
不是去泡夜店啦
而是choir演出即将来临
所以自然练习时间也加长了
以为这个过后就可以卸下
刚刚又被同事叫去帮忙学生的演出
朋友都说你要学会推啊
教我怎么推吧
这也许是我的弱点吧
“Miss OK"
今晚是青年团25周年
而我与几位姐妹会有Acapella的演出
病到酱的我还能唱吗？
可是我不想因为我而破坏了其他人
希望在这短短时间里快快好回！ 

来支持我们吧
练习过程真的很辛苦。。。又跳又唱的

Project Runway:Plastic Bag Fashion Collection 2013

Everybody says:Teaching is so easy just like walking in a park but only teachers know that the park is "JURASSIC PARK" with a variety of dinosaurs!!!
and I can assure you that this class consists of lots of T-rex!!!! **faint

Anyways, I always believe and put hope on every kids no matter how good or how bad they are. Don't ever give up any of them cause as long as there is a hope there is a chance for them to learn. Keep reminding myself that I have to let them enjoy their childhood just like how I enjoyed mine last time when I was still a kid in my primary school SJK(C) Chi Man. I don't know how long I can keep this spirit on but I believe God will give me the strength. But I must admit that at times, I get exhausted and had my down moments or demotivated especially when they misbehave.

So, this is my second year into teaching Bahasa Malaysia. What the heck is this Music teacher teaching language subject??? Oh this is the fact for primary school teachers. We have to be versatile once we entered this field. hahahahah....no joke my expression was like "WHAT???" when I was assigned to teach BM. That is why you can see me slotting some arts and music into my Year 2 BM class. At least it's least boredom for the student and ME!!!! XD   
 

Heineken Legendary Traveler Instagram Contest

If you know me well, I am quite active in instagram nowadays compared to blogging. Generally, instagram is all about hash tags # and @. Nothing complicated nor fancy. It's just a place for me to share my daily capture since I love photography that much. It's like a life photo album to me.

Last Saturday I was being blind folded and "dropped" at unknown destination with other participants which consists of a bunch of bloggers and instagrammers. Thanks to John #Igermalaysia for the invite as one of the instagrammer. First time with this title instead of blogger...Follow me at @chowyinyin7 !!!hahahahh self- promo XP

夺命游戏2 (The Game2)

剧名：夺命游戏2 (The Game2)
播出日期：2013年8月20日(星期二/农历七月十四)
播出时间：晚上9点30分
播出频道：ntv7
导演：陈炳丰、池家庆
主要演员：王爱玲、蔡佩璇、林静苗、庄惟翔、林冰冰、魏幽兰、盛博泽、吴欣婷
特别嘉宾：陈峰
拍摄地点：金马仑

如果您还记得，去年于8月30日配合中元节及国庆日献上的本地首部中文实境电视剧(Reality Drama) 《夺命游戏》，在圆满播毕后，广受观众的热烈回响与讨论，更夺下当天全马所有中文电视节目中的收视之冠！可想而知，夺命2是值得一看的！

为什么我说这是值得一看的电视剧呢？
如果你以为这是演员跟剧本背出来的台词，编排好的表情动作，那你就错了！

谢谢ntv7的邀请下，让我有机会先睹为快。看了幕后花絮，我才知道原来演员们根本不知下一步会发生什么事，就连他们的情绪、思路也被导演搞得团团钻，真真假假难分难解！对演员们的入戏我感到十分赞叹，也佩服他们情绪被拉扯得如此还可以撑下去，接下挑战。这部戏让我觉得它像是真实发生而非一部编好、策划好的戏，超真实！因此，你们一定要看！

回首上个星期的发布会：

《小丑。心情篇》 忙

真的好久好久没写心情篇了
有时想到要写
但却因为累
而把字吞下
 不写了

自从作工后
我的步伐
从没停过
就算假期的我
也排到满满的

朋友都说
你好忙好忙哦
为什么要搞到自己酱忙
也许我的性格吧
我对很多东西都很有兴趣
尤其音乐和摄影是我最爱的
结果弄得自己真的有点累了

忙学校的
忙教会的
忙部落的
忙音乐的
忙到我的阿姨问我
为什么你忙这忙那
就是没时间忙拍拖

ermmmm.....
 好了下次再继续。。。
累了

Croisette Cafe.法式风情

说实，我对这间Croisette Cafe一点儿也不陌生了原因只有一个老板的亲切款待让我宾至如归。再加上这次可是我第三次光临！由此可见，它必定有着一些魅力！

为什么我会酱喜欢这里呢？
-Chef Pierre 对食物和食材的讲究
-健康的烹调
-温馨而幽静的家庭式cafe
-超好吃的法式甜点 ( 没有试过他们的甜点就等于没来过 Croisette Cafe! )

而且也在此特别提醒大家：
由于Croisette Cafe 坐落于一栋公寓里所以有点难找，但美食就是值得大家翻山越岭的对吧？


RM74 nett per person (food only)
RM108 nett per person (including 2 glasses of wine or 2 cans of beer)

Set Dinner:
Amuse bouche (依据厨师的灵感所定)

这个有点像Canape~看到那酸酸的pickles, 口水直流了吧？底层的法式脆面包让整个口感提升了不少，而且可以让你吃得优雅，因为就那么一口吗！

Vanish did the magic tricks!

[all picture taken by my Samsung S3 without any filter or further edit]

Recently, I got some samples of Vanish detergent and I was curious with the effectiveness of this brand because honestly I never tried it before....So no harm give it a try!

"VANISH AND YOU Save Water: Using Vanish, your clothes do not need to be washed more than once."

That's the promising tagline from Vanish so let's put it to test! 

So here I'm going to test on the white one and the pink one...
#1 (White) Fabric Stain Remover+Whitener
#2 (Pink) Fabric Stain Remover

ohh ohh minion sneak into my picture....helping me out with the laundry =P

Despicable Me2 craft

Ba Ba Ba Babanana *slap*
okok sorry for the haters but I love them so much especially when they giggles....XD
so continue on my journey in teaching...so far so good....just that sometimes I get bored with teaching lauguage! yes especially BM....Into my second year of teaching BM and I just couldn't repeat those activities again and again!

So here's a little idea on what I did with my year 2 student.
Topic on: "Lambang Negara"
(Checkout Year 2 BM Text Book)
Idea of this activity:

• they have to design their minion with all sorts of lambang negara, for ex: jalur gemilang, bunga raya, ringgit malaysia..... 
• next, they need to create a tag for their minion's biodata, (Nama, Umur, Makanan Kegemaran)
• follow up with a presentation infront

Of course, you might be thinking, year 2 can present infront, you must be kidding me?

Well, let's start of with the smartest person in class and you will be seeing everyone copying him/her.

Let them learn from copy first then you add a little spice into it by guiding them....
