My style

A couple of friends have been asking me what I wear and how I accessorize myself when I go out with my 19 month old daughter, because they just can't seem to match comfort + fashion when they want to go out with their kids.

.

So I've decided to start posting down what I wear when I go out so that they (and all other mothers out there who wants to know) can have an idea about how I match comfort + fashion for myself.

.

Of course, I'm not the most fashionable mother around and I'm sure there are many others out there who has their own personal style and still look absolutely fabulous. But since I've been asked, I'm proud to share a little bit of my own fashion.

Simple lunch with Kathryne and Sam @ Delicious, 1U

.

.

Me

top: cats whiskers

harem pants: random thai fair

bangles: diva

watch: nooka

.

Renee

top: mothercare

jeans: old navy

.

I swear, harem pants are THE MOST comfortable thing ever created!

They're tapered at the ankles so there's no trouble with stepping on the edge of the pants or having to fold it up when stepping into a wet public toilet. And the best thing is, they're so baggy it feels like you're wearing your pyjamas out.

.

I matched this outfit with a pair of beige wedges.

.

They were only RM25, which to me is DIRT cheap.

Am so glad I bought 2!

She killed for the 1st time

See this millipede here?

.

.

Ya, we get a lot of them crawling into the house from our garden outside.

.

Anyways, I think Renee killed it's father last night. Or mother. I dunno, they all look the same to me. Ok, so maybe killed isn't really the right word to use for what Renee did. I think MAULED might be better.

.

Hmmm...in fact, it could be a younger sister or brother that she killed. I didn't really see the size of it. In fact, I didn't even know my 19 month old daughter was committing murder until she came screeching happily up to me and then dumped the two-halves, intestines spilling, dead worm on my lap.

.

And I was in SHORTS!!!

.

So please forgive me for not taking a picture of the deceased.

I tengah hysterical!

Make a Pinata out of him

Omg, did you read the papers today???!!!

.

Crazy man armed with hammer walks into a kindy and whacks children in their heads!!!

*click here*

.

Okay, fine, so the news didn't say anything about the man being crazy but C'MON! Which sane man would walk around bludgeoning 6 year olds in their heads with a freaking hammer??? Only someone absolutely crazy and out of his mind can do something like that!

.

I mean, why would he want to do something like that?

What can a child ever have done to him to make him so filled with anger?

.

Anyways, the police are on the lookout for him now and I pray they catch him fast.

You know what they should do to punish him?

.

They should tie him up and dress him up as a Pinata and then set loose a group of baseball bats-wielding 6 year olds on him.

.

Hah!

If I can't even control my 18 month old girl when she's swinging her plastic hammer around at me, I definitely wouldn't wanna be caught in the same room as a bunch of 6 year olds swinging their bats at a Pinata man.

Cheesecake-in-a-Cup

On Monday, I invited my family over for dinner.

I made a feast of steamed ginger chicken, baked dori in butter and lemon sauce, sambal tumis sotong, vegetables and lotus roots soup.

On top of that, I attempted at making dessert.

Cheesecake-in-a-Cup.

.

Sounded easy enough.

And it surely wouldn't be much of a mess.

Or so I thought.

Because 5 minutes into making it, THIS happened :

.

.

And this is just 30% of the whole mess.

For me to be able to take a picture of the WHOLE mess, I needed a wide-angle lens, and I didn't have one.

.

My whole kitchen was covered in cream cheese and yes, literally my WHOLE kitchen.

The walls.

The ceiling.

The floor.

The window grills.

The back door.

The appliances (as you can see from the picture above).

The stove.

And.

All.

Over.

My.

Maid!

.

Me?

Hah!

I had an apron on.

.

But the mess was not in vain.

Whatever that was left in my mixing bowl was still enough.

And I'm proud to say that my attempt at making dessert was not only successful but it was DELICIOUS as well!

.

So here's my recipe (just try not to make a mess like I did ESPECIALLY if you don't have a house-help to help clean it up).

.

CHEESECAKE-IN-A-CUP

(recipe serves 4 - 6 pax)

.

.

Ingredients

250g cream cheese

250ml plain natural yogurt

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

.

Fruit Layer

1 cup finely diced fruits (you can use strawberries/kiwi/bananas/grapes)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

.

6 - 8 pcs digestive biscuits (broken into small pieces)

.

.

Method

1. Place cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and grated lemon rind in a mixing bowl and using a balloon whisk, beat until smooth.

.

2. Chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the fruit layer.

.

3. Combine diced fruits (please stick to one type of fruit), sugar and lemon juice. Mix it up then set aside for 5 minutes to let fruit soften slightly and exude its juice.

.

4. Divide broken digestive biscuits into 6 small glasses. Spoon a layer of cream cheese mixture over the biscuit, followed by a layer of fruits mixture. Top with another layer of cream cheese mixture. Then garnish with a slice of fresh fruit.

.

5. Serve immediately or cling-wrap and chill until ready to serve.

I hope you have as much fun making this as I did!
