Scrapbooking is Loved
Thank you.....

Towel Embroidery
Embroidery was done using the sewing machines. They do create beautiful designs on the fabrics. Now, i wish i have one of those that can do embroidery at home too!
The 2 designs above were done on the towel given by Dr Mok.
This Tea Party word was done on the table runner project.
I love the outcome of the words on my towel and on my table runner but I realised that it wasn't easy to do the embroidery. The top thread somehow might come off, the bobbin thread might be too lose, the overall tension might not be right........ But above all those problems faced, I liked the outcome of the embroidery stitches.

Wooden Door Hanger
Wooden Door Hanger
This wooden door hanger was done using the Napkin Technique.
It was the first time i heard of this technique but it really beautifies the things you do with it.
Let me show you the door hanger that i did using the Napkin technique.
The pictures on the door hanger was done using the napkin technique. Amazing isn't it??
The napkins are just ordinary napkins that can be found in departmental stores like Tangs and Robinsons and even Ikea.
The first time when i saw samples of what Dr Mok did, i couldn't believe that the pictures were done using napkins! Pretty amazing but they are really good ways you can use to beautify your things at home like your bookshelves, wardrobe, mirrors and more....

Woven colourful handbag
Another of our textile project.... Woven bag.
A very long and tedious process was taken to complete this bag.
After this bag was completed i felt a great sense of achievement. I took a lot of time to iron the fabrics to the interfacing, to iron the fabrics so that it has no air bubbles trapped in between, to weave the fabric, to glue it together layer by layer and blowing it with the hair dryer at the same time, to sew the extra weaves at the top, to insert the handles, to sew the top of the bag together using hand stitch.
It really wasn't easy.... But i'm glad i made it! =))

Grilled with Love
My brother won a Philips Griller during his school's annual dinner. Hence, my mum thought of using the new griller last weekend to try it out before CNY dinner next year. My brother's gf was invited over for dinner and we were the ones grilling ALL the food for our family... These are some of the food that was cooked by my bro's gf and me.
Dou Miao stir-fried on the griller. A very simple and easy way of cooking but the taste was INCREDIBLE! Only garlic and soy sauce but it tasted great and beyond what my bro's gf and I had expected. This was in fact the first time I stir-fried dou miao on a griller.
A word of advice for those who are going to stir-fry it on the griller: You have to stir-fry it at a very fast rate as it tends to be overcooked very fast. =))
Grilled prawns with garlic and butter.
Almost done! =))
What do you think about the cooking method grilling?? Is it a healthy method of cooking??
The method that I did at home was not exactly a very healthy method of cooking. Why do I say so? I used quite a fair amount of margarine to coat the griller to prevent the food from sticking especially when i am grilling the meats.
What is your say for this cooking method? Is it like what the textbook says "a relatively healthy cooking method as the fat and oil is dripped away"? Maybe for the actual grilling or BBQ-ing method it is....?

The Art of Cutting
The different cuts of vegetables.......
Onions, carrots, garlic and cai xin (if i'm not wrong)
Sliced onions
Diced carrots
Julienne carrots
Minced garlic
Chiffonade cai xin
Shredded carrots
These are the different cuts of vegetables that we have done during the very first practical lesson of our module The Teaching of F&N.
The different cuts not only give variety of shapes, it also determines the cooking time of your dish and the cooking method.

Polkadots drawstring bag
The very first textile project of NIE.
Our very cute and colourful drawstring bag without the cord!
Dr Mok taught us how to quilt our bag.
THE COMPLETED DRAWSTRING BAG!!!!!!!! =))) I love the colours of this bag! ♥
Do you know that this bag is actually reversible! We learnt how to sew a reversible bag this time round and i realised that it wasn't difficult to do so in fact.
I shall be patient and wait for the cord to be given so that it is really completed.

记得吃 dessert photography
Had always been in love with this dessert shop.
It serves really nice, value for money and very presentable desserts.
The one that i ordered is the middle bowl. It's mocha shaved ice. Take a look at their actual serving to decide if it looks exactly like the picture.
Peanut Paste.
Mango filled mochi
Mocha shaved ice! Looks almost the same as the one in their picture!
The colour of the ice reminds me of sharpened pencils....
Durian puffs topped with icing and strawberry.
This dessert shop is one of the best that I have eated in Singapore, not to mention those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It's comparable and all of you should try their shaved ice! The ice will just melt in your mouth smoothly and it has a very fine texture. Trust me, if you choose a flavour that you like, you'll be in love with it! But it's meant to be for 2 or more servings. One bowl might be too sweet and too much for you to handle without getting a sugar rush. =))
Very Very good desserts ranging from cold to hot. You'll be in love with it! Do try it out, it's definately worth it!
