I hate being stuck in a massive jam in the cab. It’s not the rate the meter is jumping. It’s the fact that it’s making me sick! I feel like puking and wish I can teleport home now! Bah.

We celebrated Barley’s birthday one day in advance! She will turn two (fourteen dog’s year) tomorrow and Jason’s mum lovingly made a carrot walnut cake for Barley! Our birthday present for her? A handy de-shedding tool! HAHA. You can probably tell we are practical dog owners.

Happy Birthday Barley! Stay cheerful and happy! Got to keep wagging your bushy tail!

// Please don’t turn into one of those emo teenagers we see on the news! I can’t handle a teenager! HAHA.

I’ve stopped blogging on my Taiwan trip, I may have missed out on some details but it doesn’t matter. Thank you baby for this trip! Muack! Love you!




While cleaning up the items I hoarded over the weeks and months, I’ve decided to start working on the DIY Owl Craft kit I bought in Taiwan.

Please don’t laugh at me, but I once thought that I would pick up sewing as a hobby if I would ever become a stay home mum. Before I whack your head, no not the granny-like sewing, instead it is more towards craft sewing – making cute little plushies for my kids and perhaps selling them online, or making simple clothes or vintage items. Just a thought. Don’t laugh.

This mini owl sewing project is fun but it sure tested my patience. I almost wanted to get my house keeper to do all the boring stuff – cloth cutting and basic sewing – while I work on cotton wool stuffing and giving it the finishing touch. Thankfully, I resisted and single handedly completed this mini project! I was so proud of myself and am glad I did it! The result is sweeter when you do it on your own!

All the instructions are underneath the cloth.

With the cutting first, comes the sewing, then the stuffing and finally …

I feel happy just looking at it! Happy!

My resourceful friend – SQ invited us to watch David Archuleta’s showcase at Zouk the other day and being a noob who has never been to one before, I’ve decided to go have a look! He sang 5 songs and I’ve heard 2 on the radio not knowing who the singer or what the song title is. All I can say is, I agree, most AI contestants can sing live!

We were seated at the VIP lounge which is at the second level, all we can see is his future bald patch pattern.

I must say he is rather small in size.

All David’s fan, below is the best picture and the closet I could get throughout the night.

This is a long overdue post! Close to two weeks ago, we celebrated Jason’s birthday with his family at Big Eater Restaurant. The food was decent and their signature dish – Egg Yolk Crab never fails to disappoint.

Their other dishes weren’t mind blowing though. If you have not noticed, other than their food, the other thing that sets them apart is their crab décor!

The kitty is so cute!

Genevieve is so cute! Whoever wrote for their granny is so sweet!

Look at the robot! It seems like it is popular among visitors too! Since we are also given a chance to test our artistic talent we will try our hand drawing them too!

Did you see the resemblances? Haha. I think. I think I missed the nose and his chin though.

Can you tell what he drew? Very abstract. I will reveal the answer at the bottom of this post. I bet you can’t guess what it is because no one managed to guess it right the first time. HAHA.

// Ans: it’s a plane! Yes. Erm.

This is a little freaky. I was using my sister’s laptop and this clip suddenly starts playing. HAHA. It’s not a ghost story but a rather fun marketing campaign. It’s nothing new but I think it’s cool. EscadaPiano

I think I have at least 20 blog posts left to update my readers! HAH. Instead of updating the post to clear my logs, I’m posting random news here cause I can’t resist!

  • A long-haired Chihuahua named “Momo” has passed exams to become a police dog in Japan. (Source: here) See size does not matter! Hehe.
  • A Japanese company has made a realistic robot nurse complete with facial expressions that could possibly be used in hospitals in the future. (Source: here) This is freaky! If I’m ill, I do not want Sadako looking robots nurse to serve me!

There wasn’t much of night activities going on at Sun Moon Lake so we decided to ride around to explore the area.

We met a friendly family who is putting up a puppet show for their deity in front of the temple! Thereafter, we walked around the waterfront and started blowing bubbles!




Here is something that you have to buy when you are in Taipei! I am not kidding you; everyone who ate their Pineapple & Egg Yolk Pastry loves it and it is the best that I’ve tasted! The crust is firm and chewy and do not crumbles easily! It has a very fragrant buttery taste. The pineapple filling’s sweetness is just right and the egg yolk balance the taste of the pastry bringing you to “Feng Huang (aka Pineapple & Egg Yolk) Haven”. Mmmmm. The thought itself makes me hungry!
