Will be making this this Sunday once Friday's exam is over.
Looks super simple *winkwink* D: Not sure it will turn out well or not. Anyway, all the best for everyone's that's stressing out and yet still reading my post. Have a good rest tonight! ^-^

Dessert Day

I went again to Aviary the dessert kitchen in Norwood. This time I ordered something different.

Hot green tea latte. 

I discovered that this cup doesn't have a handle and by drinking with the tiny spoon, my hot latte --> cold too fast. I quickly hold the cup up and sip from the sharp end. How good it taste I tell ya! How it made my day (ahem, I mean night). Thanks to my friend that gave us a lift to this shop! =D

Lychee Sorbet. 
I was mistaken that this was my dessert because I ordered Strawberry Bouquet which will be the following picture. It tasted very light and refreshing. The sorbet was great but bit too icy compared to some other strawberry sorbets that I've tested so far.

Tadaaa...My rose meringue with strawberry bouquet. What a lovely name! 
Once you pop the rose infused meringue into your mouth it will melt instantly.
nawWWW...I want to eat more because it's not really filling and I'm hungryyy..=(

Last but not least, how can I not have macarons. I really got a recipe from my friend, Candy where she just made a batch for last Sunday's life group themed (Double A which is represented as Admiration and Appreciation), it sounds quite easy from the way she say it and I shall try making them with her recipe very soon. YAY! :) I have been saying this for quite some time if you read my posts but everyone procrastinates *winkwink-eye-sore :P*


Take-home with me. 
Pink: Salted caramel
Brown: Hazelnut
White: Le vovo or vivi I really forgot the flavour

It's late now. Time is ticking and tomorrow is another day to study *sighs*
It's boring to say this but : I've got another exam coming up next Friday.

Goodnight peeps!

More pictures of food that my boss feeds me with. Mostly vietnamese food. :)
A lot of them I didn't get the chance to take photo because I gobble the food after it was placed on da table. Too hungry I guess xP

The recent week. I ate........ . . . . . ..

Super big bowl of Spicy Beef Noodle Soup *ultra yummehhh*

Steam bao filling made by them and I wrap this meat bao :D
Grilled chicken with sweet chilli sauce plus some veg as side dish.
Really rewarding and I'm very grateful to their generousity.
Will try my best to improve my performance each day.
All glory towards the Lord! Hallelujah! :)

List of stuf to pray this week:
1) Sista's ankle (for ballet exam)
2) Granpa's biopsy result and his general health
3) Upcoming exam
4) Life group leader's hand (her piano exam is up)
5) Health

Did I mention that I'm sleepy already? Yea, eyes are about to close and brain shutting down. So is my pc. Goodnight! -again-

Holiday is Officially Over

Be thankful with what you have.

Holiday has been good to me. Thanks to my work-great boss, my studies-manage to follow on track, my sleep-manage to find time to slack and roll around on my bed, my time-thanks to daylight saving I'm losing one hour but it's okay and my friends-all the fun we've had together. The only thing I'm sad about is tomorrow class's starting again and this cycle begin.

Aww....Exams time tables are out and yet I'm still not feeling the pressure due to this holiday. I'm going to pump up the pressure and do what I can for the coming challenges. God, give me some omphh..!

Don't let it be boring. Again, like this.
And last of all, this random picture is for my sisi, *if you're reading this*
In conclusion, don't whip front and back too much kayys!
YOU LOSE ALL OF YOUR HAIR ONE DAY IF YOU R STILL DOING THIS.

HAHAHAHAH!!! :P

Success is simple. Simply to be successful.

True. Its a cycle people. 
Where are you at now? and TELL ME HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE YOU?!! :P

Life Group Lunches - Henley Beach

I truly enjoy my life group Sunday lunches with my besties. Not to mention all those great themes and ideas they come up with. The recent one was held in Henley beach where it was my turn to prepare the lunch with some friends in my life group. So yea, the theme that was basically made up by me was - Support. Indeed, without it, we are nothing, everything and everyone support us in our lives right?

We made Nomads Special Burger which consist of egg, tomato, iceberg lettuce, chicken or beef patties, cheese and of course buns! 
See, Our one and only Nomad's Special Burgers! HEHE! >-<



Comes with choices of wholemeal or plain buns. Great idea huh? :DD

To fry the egg, monkey spatula! Thanks to Abby and her cuteness.

Brought own cooking stoves :)

And I made Entree - Green Tea cupcakes!! <3
Thanks to Angela and her great photography skills!! Looks like its from the magazine right?

And I decorated them with 100's and 1000's to make them look pwettttyyyy!

Melting in the sun! :P

Best weather, Thank God for it! <3

Played the umbrella support game! Got ourselves wet. Super fun! It was like both teams need to play paper scissors rock and who lose the team will be splashed by water but then this is when the umbrella comes into action! So funnehh!! :3

Me in action. How cool is that swaying of the hair over the face :P

How can I not praise the photographer! Great picture!

Self splash to our team leader. Laugh-OUT-Loud. Yes, everyone laughed!! << to >>

HIDE FOR OUR LIVES!!!! 

Then everyone got a self jump shot and this is what I posed.
Apparently we need to jump where this (broken bucket handle stuck-into-the-sand as an indication) but I still haven't thought of any idea so I did this silly pose =.=0 I'm not even ready yet.

The cheerleading squad??? HAHA and the flat salmon >>

Watermelon by the beach - Best way to end our picnic.
Of course, last but not least

DESSERT IS ------>>>>>>

Ohh..how I love my life group! :3

Can't wait for next week.
Stay tune folks!

Delicious Dessert

I just came back from this dessert place called Delicious Dessert in North Adelaide because I've got a voucher from Living Social website where theres 2 desserts+ 2 drinks for $10. I know it was a long time since I blogged but oh well, I'm sorry :D haha! *back to topic* It was quite worth trying but but but...delicious just defeats the whole name. In fact, everything is super sweet and now I can't sleep because of my sugar rush.

These are the desserts that I ate. Can't even finish them all, I do not recommend other people to come to this dessert place since it's so expensive and not really that good anyway.

The free Iced Mocha.
Iced Coffee tasted and looked the same. :S

The Chocolate Fondue - I wished there's strawberries instead of those stuff. +_+

The second dessert - 3 ice cream choice on the big waffle. This taste better than the one above. 

I can't really give much compliments because I think that there's a lot to improve. The menu. The environment. The food. The presentation. The people. The price. The location. The..omgosh..Am I too harsh or what? :S I really do expect a lot from these dessert places that I go to. Nahh, don't say that I'm fussy because there are really good ones around Adelaide to compare to. So, yea, if possible, this is not the place you're looking for. Full stop. =P

CCCream


BB Creams are trending in the US and Korea at the moment and you’ll probably see more to come. So far Smashbox, MAC, and Boscia have introduced BB Creams stateside with a special appearance by Korean brand name, Dr. Jart exclusively at Sephora.
BB Creams have been toned down a bit for the US market but the concept remains the same in some aspects. A creamy base product to flatter many skin tones that offers sun protection and a flawless finish that evens out skin tone. Whitening benefits, pigmentation, and some anti-aging benefits are missing from US versions but hopefully we catch up sometime soon to our Asian friends in the market.
Now that BB Creams are on the rise here what comes next?
That would be CC Creams or Color Control Creams. What’s a CC Cream? It’s the next generation BB Cream.
Jumps up and down! Have you ever heard of CC cream? :)))
CC cream is simply an improved version of a BB Cream. It offers pretty much the same benefits as a BB Cream including whitening, moisturizing, sun protection, and skin repair.
Where as BB Creams offer all these same options CC Creams promise a lighter texture with a non-oily formula (and in some cases a matte finish) plus some will have Vitamin C for better brightening and whitening abilities. CC Creams promise to have a lighter texture with more nourishing ingredients offering a beefed up formula with the ability to repair problem skin better than BB Creams.
CC Creams mainly contain White tea extracts, Green Tea Leaf Extracts, Hyaluronic Acid, Mineral Powder, Macadamia Extracts, Deep Sea Water, Aloe leaf Extracts, and Natural Vitamin E etc...
So it basically provides sun protection, hydration, agents to help soothe and calm skin, anti-aging elements, plus a long lasting formula.
I haven’t personally played with any CC Creams yet and if you have experience using them or heard of them. 
Do share! :3 

I personally saw this Singapore CC Cream by Rachel K. Never tried them.

Lotsa <3, Avril.

Reason why males make good businessmen women make good shoppers

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ' I am very rich. Marry me! ' - That's 'Direct Marketing


2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: ' He's very rich. 'Marry him.' -That's' Advertising


3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: ' Hi, I'm very rich. 'Marry me - That's 'Telemarketing


4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car)for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:'By the way, I'm rich. Will you 'Marry Me?' - That's ' Public Relations


5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says:'You are very rich! 'Can you marry ! Me?' - That's 'Brand Recognition


6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - ' That's 'Customer Feedback


7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' And she introduces you to her husband. - 'That's 'demand and supply gap


8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: 'I'm rich. Will you marry me?' and she goes with him - 'That's competition eating into your market share'


9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: 'I'm rich, Marry me!' your wife arrives. - ' That's restriction for entering new markets

10. And women make good shoppers because WE GET TO CHOOSE THEM! :D

10 things that makes me feel most disgusted.


1. Opening up the toilet cover and found out that there's *@&( and someone haven't flushed.

Personal Toilet Seats


Probably they really need this kind of toilet seats in Australia or Malaysia.
Saw this in Korea and fell in love with it. <3

2. Someone saying "ewww, that's so disgusting, I will never buy it" and the next thing you know, he's / she's wearing it to prom.

3. Bringing me to cinema/home and wants me to watch ghost/horror movie with him/her.

4. Smoking beside me I still might be able to accept it, throwing the cigarette bud to the ground step it and walk away w-t-h. Pollute air and land, worst ever.

5. Say they will turn up and indeed they did. Not without even informing beforehand, worse if after.

6. Using fingernails to press against a glass, that sound is really annoying and disgusting.

7.  Guys insulting each other but don't really mean it, still acceptable.  Woman complimenting each other but they never mean it, disgusted. Why not just smile and keep quiet right?

8. Why is there only 24 hours a day. I wish there's more.

9. This normally applies to girls. Saying themselves fat when they're actually so thin. Whilst this applies to guys, saying themselves fit when they're actually fat, and blames the gf or wife.

10. Don't appreciate what others did for them, not even a thank you.



What makes you disgusted anyway? =O
