It's Brownie's First!

We brought Lil Missy Brown home around this time last year. When she was still so tiny and afraid of us, and when her ears were too long for her small frame.




















A year past by so fast! Since we don't know her real birth date, her Papa decided it shuld be on the 20th November, and so he reminded me to celebrate her birthday.

I don't know if rabbits take real cakes, so I made something else that she'd definitely enjoy.

3-tier banana 'cake'! (the candle is a shred of carrot!)
























She was really excited the moment I peeled the banana! Look how anxious she was! Couldn't even snap a proper picture!


















Now's she's such a big girl already(I think she weighs at least 2+kg), and has become super "yang-orh" (manja) and readily asks for pats whenever we walk pass her cage. Sometimes I even caught her lowering her head for Sundae to lick. Sisterly love!


















Not to mention, she's a true blue Holland Lop with an attitude!



















brownie: who say this poop is mine?!


Her present will come when her Papa comes home from USA. :)

Happy 1st Birthday Brownie! We love you!

Let's Cook!

Here's another dish I cooked by inprovising on a recipe via the net. Tasted really good!


You'll need:

1 potato, half a carrot and a garlic


















Cube the tofu - plain or egg-ed is fine.


















sliced the potato (cooks easier this way) cube the carrot. I added 2 strip of green pepper to flavour the dish
























Now for the chicken(you can use pork if you like)
I used 2 breast fillets(the size of LJS chicken), marinated with
1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon of dark soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon of sugar (can put honey if you like)
a dash of salt and pepper

Mix well and let it sit for a minimum of 1hour


















Stir fry these with enough oil.
Take it out once cooked























Add in garlic, when it starts to turn brown, add in chicken.
once the outsides are cooked, add back the potato+carrots
add about 1tablespoon of light soy sauce and 3/4cup of water
Let it come to a boil

Once it boils, turn the fire to low and add in tofu on top of the rest of the ingredients.
Cover it up. It'll be ready in 5mins.


I like my potatoes soft soft, so I simmered it double the recommended time.
Serves 2 person as a side dish. :)


love cooking, hate washing

Going Westernized

Over the past 2 weeks, I've been trying to lose some fats and began exercising and paying attention to what I put into my mouth. I kinda got sick and tired of having oats for dinner almost everyday and so I decided to whip up something healthy, tasty and not 'oh-so-boring' meal for the day!

Here's what Sundae and I had for Dinner today!




















It ain't unhealthy lah! The chicken breast fillet is being seasoned over an hour with:
-Lime
-Basil
-Parsley
-Thyme
-Rosemary
-Garlic
-Tiny(and i really mean tiny like tinier than the size of a tiny ant) amt of salt, onion & pepper
-half a teaspoon of Honey

Cubed carrot and potato stir-fried with margerine+garlic+parsley

Nothing really unhealthy right? :)

The side dish was good, sweet carrot and fragrant potato. But the chicken was kinda like hard and chewy. Don't know if it's the texture of chicken breast itself, or the lime was too acidic for the meat. Overall taste was average. But I bet my Dad would not eat this. Haha! As for Chris, he vowed to eat whatever I'd cook! Hehe!



Against any biasness, this is what I've prepared for Little Miss Brown.



























Cool right? Like a bunny's idea of a buffet salad bar! She loves the shredded carrot and her all time favourite Xiao Bai Cai, but hated the green peppers and took only a lil of that parsley.


See what the naughty girl did @ the end of the day! Play with food! Mischevious!



Hehe, she was so happy that she binky-ed loads today. It was so amusing to be able to catch her jumping, or rather, prancing up and down the whole time. Joy of having pets.











Till next time, gotta head back to the books.

And so my first Coach-es

Boyfriend told me I'll be getting a Coach sling & a wallet, they're so NOT from Factory Outlet hor. Keke. That got me happy, very happy.

I was asked what else I need. Watch? Shopping bag? Ipod? Can't think of any yet, but he better be sure he has more money for my new phone when he's back! Lalala~

Seems like things there are rather affordable. Just Imagine a pair of Levi's Jeans @ USD37!


Been studying on an average of 3hours-4hours daily for the past 1 week. Hope to stay this way until the exams are here. One big problem, is that, I'm afraid that I might not have enough questions to practice on. The lecturer insisted on giving out the extras only to students who are attending the Revision Course.

Going for it means a whopping $185 lesser in my pockets. I'm only left with not more than a four-digit bank balance to last me till exams are over. (thank god for boyfriend) So I hope whoever is reading this, and has extra Financial Accounting MCQ questionaires to share, please tell me!!


Really hope that I can pass, well! What motivates me is the prize winner's prize. Ace every module and the school's gonna pay me back whatever I paid to them! More than that, I WANT to succeed this time round.


Enough of all lengthy post, I promise I'll post pictures on the next update ya? It's been the uttermost boring 2 weeks of my life. But with him being away, I can really concentrate on studies and be independent all over again.

So I am proud to annouce, I've been eating healthy and exercising diligently throughout the week. Cycled to and fro nearby places when I need to get stuffs, jogged with Sundae on alternate days, skipped loads and "Wii-Fit"-ed in goal to gain back my beautiful waiste-line(which had since been non-existence 2years ago.)

current temptation - Long John Sliver get out of my sight!

till then,
michelle
