Blast From The Past

Posted on Jun 08, 2010 under funny, good stuff, me | 16 Comments

I was listening to the radio a few days ago and the station was playing lots of 80’s songs.  Sure brings back lots of cherished memories of my teenage years :P    Back in the 80’s, I was really crazy about these few things -

80 bag

The colourful straw bag.  I was very much in love with straw bags but couldn’t afford one.  Even if I could, there was no no way I could find one in Ipoh :)   I used to drool over my cousin’s straw bags and I begged her to give me one but of course she did not.

80 cherie

Cherie Chung. She’s one of my favorite actresses and I wanted so much to copy her hairstyle.  Wai Leng, if you are reading this, do you remember how much I wanted to ‘look’ like Cherie? hahahahaahaaha

80 shoe

Espadrilles.  A must-have pair of shoes.  You weren’t cool if you don’t have one :P

My favourite movies were …

80 movie1

Footloose

80 movie2

Girls Just Want To Have Fun

The Goonies, Dirty Dancing, Back To The Future, Indiana Jones, Terminator, GhostBusters and many more.

My bedroom wall used to be plastered with posters of them……

80 song

Boy George

80 song2

Thompson Twins

80 song3

Cyndi Lauper

The 80’s fashion – who can forget the big hair, the baggy clothes, acid wash denims, funky jewelries, off shoulder sweaters and tights eh?

I had fun doing this post :)   Were you a teenager in the 80’s?  If yes, what were your favourites back then?

100 Yen shop is opened near my home. It is only 1 minute walk away! *doing the happy dance*  Its first day was on Sunday and I went there twice that day….hahhahahhaahaha.   Ashley was super excited too because like her mama, she loves to browse every section.  Did I buy anything? Well of course I did.  Before you know it, I will be lugging bags and bags of stuff from this shop.  I would probably develop muscles on my arm later on, as if I have taken the testosterone booster :)

A Bite Of Heaven

Posted on May 26, 2010 under ashley, food, good stuff | 17 Comments

A few weeks before Ashley’s birthday, I was looking around for her birthday cake.  We have tried novelty cakes and jelly cakes in the past so I wanted something different this year.  While facebooking, I discovered Sincerely Yours by Suanne who specializes in homemade cheesecakes. Her cheesecakes do not contain any preservatives or artificial colouring.  They are made with 100% love, 100% cream cheese and there are no sponge fillers in between :)   One bite of this and you think that you have died and gone to cheesecake heaven!

When I saw the Disney Character 4″ Mini Cakes, I knew I had to order a Disney Princess Cheesecake for Ashley this year.  So, when I told Suanne that I would like to have a Disney Princess sugar paper (which must have Princess Aurora) for the Chocolate Cheesecake,  she went out to look for the specific sugar paper for me.  I am so glad that she found it.   Ashley’s eye lit up the moment she saw her birthday cake.  The chocolate cheesecake was so delicious and everyone in our family enjoyed it.   If you are a true cheesecake lover, then you should check out Sincerely Yours.

Universal Studios Singapore

Posted on Mar 18, 2010 under good stuff, me, travel | 14 Comments

I am so happy to read about the opening of Universal Studios in Resort World, Sentosa Island, Singapore.   It’s a magical fun place with thrilling rides and incredible movie-based rides like Jaws, King Kong and more.  This is where the magic of movies come to live.  Many years ago, hubs and I visited the Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and we had the best time of our lives.  I can’t believe there is a Universal Studio so close to home.  I don’t know when we are going but we definitely will!  There are so many places I want to visit…..helpppppppppppp!
