Tom Yum Gai (Chicken Tomyum Soup)

Hubby was craving for Tom Yum soup, and he told me that he planned to go tapau after he finished with his workout. I told him just to come home straight from the gym as I'm going to make him a Tom Yum soup. Here's the recipe which I modified a bit (sebab tidak banyak raw materials yang ada dalam dapur). You can get the original recipe here.

The Mirror Test

Jeffrey Hayzlett is an accomplished marketer, and a successful businessman. He was a Vice President and CMO of Kodak. He's not a novel in marketing, and I admire his vast experience. A friend from Goodreads recommends me to read this as he found out that I'm more interested in Marketing, and Management subject.

Noel Cruz's Arts

Noel Cruz is a Filipino artist who transforms mass-produced dolls to create stunningly realistic one-of-a-kind figures of celebrities. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. I'm very impressed with his artworks. Check out for some of his works below.

Cold Thursday

It's still raining outside and hubby still asleep. I wake up and make breakfast for us. I've decided to stay at home today as I've done with the works in the office. Dad has asked me to get ample of rest as I had a few OT last week. While waiting for hubby to get ready, I'm watching this funny Andy Griffith's Play The Game. A very funny movie about the ego between man and woman.

A few slices of Pandan Pudding Cake, and a glass of fresh orange juice for breakfast. It's pretty cold outside, anyway. Hubby has asked me to make Chicken Soup for dinner. It feels so nice to cook for hubby. It makes me happy when he had 2 bowls of rice last evening. I'm going to make Chicken Soup, and Vegetarian Shrimp for dinner later.

Chicken Curry with Potatoes

I went browsing to get some ideas for today's dinner and I stumbled upon a blog which has lots of recipes. That's why I love the month of Ramadhan! Banyak makanan dan masak-masak di TV. As for dinner, I make Chicken Curry with Potatoes. Here's the recipe which I got from Dapur Tanpa Sempadan. By the way, bahan-bahan kasi kurang sebab 2 orang saja bah kami ni makan. I also omit and replace some of the ingredients.

Raspberry and Blackberry

My mini bubble bath creme and body butter cream set is here, and I cannot wait to try it at home later. It has yummy raspberry and blackberry scent. I hope it would leave my skin fragranced. Gonna deliver the other 2 sets to Rita, and Hazloria later. ^_^

It's my half day in the office today. Have a nice day! ^ω^

Ginger Chicken in Black Soy Sauce (酱油鸡)

This has been me & my hubby's favourite, and I'm going to cook this for our dinner tonight. It's a very simple recipe, tidak terlampau susah. I found a simple recipe from a blog, and decided to replicate it with my own touch. Habis semua diubah untuk ikut sedap lidah sendiri. Sedap atau tidak itu belakang kira.
