I cook

Meow wanted to buy dog food for JJ. So, we went to Giant. As usual, we browsed around and place a lot of 'unintended purchase' items in the trolley. I was looking for mini corn for my hamster Yoda when I spotted celery....then I teasingly told Meow, "hey got your fav. vege wor...." His eyes sparkled..."ok let's cook"

Then, I happily selected some french beans as well....took a Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce, picked Tuna....called Dad to check whether we have garlic at home. Maklumlah, we hardly cook at home.

Meow stopped by his house to feed JJ while I took a few 'ulas' of garlic from his mom's kitchen. On the way home, bought eggs, onions and we are good to go.

Meow called his sister to ask her how to cook his favourite celery with tuna. He helped me cut the veges. I was 'crying' so much I look like weeping when I peeled and cut the onions. I told Meow I can audition for Taiwan movie :P

It was fun but a little tiring cooking. My dishes emmm....ok ok nya. Luckily the celery with Tuna still can tahan and the French Beans with oyster sauce ok la. The rest...not good la...too long didn't cook liao. Here's the pix...sorry, forgot to take before makan :P



Oh...dad called after his church to ask if I wanted Nasi Lemak. I told him "no need, just now I cook"
He asked "you what?" I said "I cook" Dad "Huh???!!!!" Me "heh...."

Ya la...it sounded like a big surprise :P

I am a Loyal Starbucks fan


28th May, I was at Prangin Mall for FRS event. I went to find Emily, hoping she's still working at the same Starbucks outlet. Indeed she is...as I was chatting with her, halfway, she asked her staff to make me a Frappuccino Espresso...I told her I've purchased one, "ohh...ok, next time see her, make her one ok" (she told her staff). Wow...I feel so special...she actually remembers my regular drink. I gave her a pair of earrings I made.

She has been promoted. Happy for her. I went back to my seat to join Tan Sri. 5 mins later, Emily came with this VIP invitation.


So, on 9th June, I sacrificed few hours of sleep, headed first to town and then to e-gate. Reached there around 2.30pm, still not started. Called Master, he said ok coming...Ordered a Frappuccino Choc Chip while we waited...3pm, Master still at home...aiyo...quick lah, I pestered him.

Meow had no choice but to join me for the Summer Escape's kick off promo.

1st booth :


We were introduced the yummy smooth Azuki Summer Slice and delicious Azuki Scone. I like the scone, it tastes just nice, not too sweet, and not too dry.

Each of the VIP customer got to throw 2 balls to collect points, and we got 2 boxes of chocolates (gave one to Master later). Spent around 10 mins there.

Master came just as we moved to 2nd booth. The staff so nice, let Master join in.

2nd booth :
We got to taste the new Azuki Frappuccino. The taste of smooth blended red bean is sensational. I like it coz it's not too sweet. Ya, I guess by now u know I don't fancy sweet stuff. We were asked to pick a red bean from a bag of beans (mixture). I wasn't so lucky, 3 times I picked green bean. But they're so nice, they still gave me a free drink voucher for trying. In fact, everyone got a at least one free voucher.



3rd booth :
Here, we got to sample Tanzania and Arabian Mocha coffee (mind you, no added sugar or cream). You should see Master's and Meow's expression...haha.



4th booth :

They took the opportunity to promote Starbucks' merchandise. We were entitled for 30% discount for that day. They gave us quiz and chance to win more free vouchers. Shioknya !!


After all the fun, we were treated light tea. Thanks to Emily and Starbucks and employees. See u again soon !
