Nothing much, but I appreciate the time spent with family members & friends. 

I really do. :')  ♥

~C*N*Y* Cookies~

CNY is coming real soon, my aunt starts to sell home-made cookies. I lend a helping hand to my aunt as she needs someone to help her up. I stayed at her place & helped her for 3 days. My back was really pain every night but it was alright after a good night sleep. I'm glad that I can help her for meeting her customers' orders.

Jam Tart, Cornflakes Cookies, Tapioca Cookies, Black Sesame Cookies, Almond Cookies & Green Pea Cookies. :D

~B*Y*E 2011, H*E*L*L*O 2012~

Two Thousand and Eleven (2011) is ending soon.

There were abundance of things happened in this year.

Thanks to my parents, giving me the chance to go UK for my degree course, which allow me to explore the most unforgettable memories were between the date from 3rd of June to 23rd of November 2011. I had my precious, fantastic, & memorable life in UK, Europe & Ireland. Those were the days I enjoyed the MOST!

I LOVE the cooling weather, environment, peacefulness, friendliness of people, also their food, especially all the Western food! Asian food, especially RICE was out of the list. LOL

  

I enjoyed the moments:♥

1. Cooking & dining with my friends at our hostels, Opal One & even Victoria Hall.

2. Drinking & doing crazy things in the hostel with housemates.

3. Having day/night walks & photo shooting around Sheffield with friends.

4. Shopping regardless for groceries or clothes with friends.

5. Joining tours to many different places with friends 

6. Going Barcelona with Catherine, Patrick, Ritchie & Blue!

7. Celebrating my 22nd Birthday in my hostel, C13, with all AEM3 classmates, Victoria Hall friends, even wishes from other coursemates ( Really thanks for the friends who came & most importantly, the friends who planned & organized the whole party) ♥

8. Going on a 13D12N Europe Trip with people in COACH D: AEM3 classmates, Engineering Course new friends, our tour guide: MIKE & also our coach driver: Orjan!

Shameful to say, all of my resolutions for year 2011 were not completely archived!

Those resolutions were not specific enough! I'm gonna list a better one for 2012, where I can get clearer picture of What I want to be & How I want to do.

In year 2011, my study life has ended.

I got my Degree, with Lower Second Class & it's nothing to be proud about. 

Whatever, my Career life comes next!

My 2012 New Year Resolution:

1. Career: Work in a company which sells products that I have Interest & Passion in.

2. Family: Meet up with love ones at least once a month. Skype with them whenever I can.

3. Learning: Take French Language course before the year ends.

4. Savings: Minimum of  MYR ### of savings every month.

5. Passion: Buy an DSLR within 2 years.

6. Attitude: Be a smart worker, Be an initiator, Be an explorer, Be spontaneous!!

7. Diet & Health: Exercise twice a week, Eat healthy food, achieve & maintain my BMI between 20-22.

Always keep in mind:

"If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. 

Then, never, NEVER give up." 

--- A meaningful advice from a friend, Jeff. 

Thanks ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!

~O*U*T*D*O*O*R* Photoshoot~

Had my very first (having a photographer with professional camera) outdoor photoshoot with Tzemaine & Grace at Chew Jetty. The photographers are Donovan & Boon Chuan. :D

While waiting for our turn, we helped each other to do the lighting & capture some Behind-the-Scene photos. We enjoyed the process!

For more Behind-the-Scene photos, CLICK HERE.

For photos taken by Boon Chuan, CLICK HERE.

After lunch, D & BC left as they had other events later that day. We girls, went 1st Avenue and transformed into "Bridesmaids". We said so because we were wearing white dresses :D

Being extravagant, we chilled out at Starbucks for coffee. >.<

Another way to make ourselves energized by having some caffeine into our body. 

Went to Lebuh Armenian for another photoshoot with my Pinkee (Sony T99).

For more photos for this WHITE theme, CLICK HERE.

It was almost 6pm when we reached Tzemaine's place. Had some cleanups & reviewed back our photos that we'd taken.

At about 8.30pm, we went out for dinner as we're damn hungry. We went to E-Gate's Sushi King.

It was really a lovely & memorable day for 3 of us.

Thanks for everything!

Love, Klaire ♥

~C*H*R*I*S*T*M*A*S* 2011~

It's "summer" for Malaysia's Christmas, and countdown with crowds is just not-my-type. Had my very first and last Christmas countdown 3 years back at Penang Gurney Drive & since then I hate those fake snow sprays which smells and sticky.

It's Christmas Day, I took public transport to Penang. My main purpose was not to celebrate Christmas but to have a photoshoot with Tzemaine & Grace on the next day. Really thank my uncle & aunt for fetching me from Penang jetty.

Anyway, met up with Tzemaine in the evening & my uncle dropped us at Queensbay Mall to have some shopping. It was nothing much celebration but a simple gathering & had lots of girls chatting with Tzemaine. :D


Tzemaine wanted to have pearl drink & I recommended her Chatime. It was the only pearl drink booth in Queensbay mall I had in mind. Anyway, we ordered Yogurt Lemon Juice with pearl & we LOVE it! ;)



      We had our dinner at Queens Food Market.



While waiting for my uncle to fetch us, we had some crazy & funny camwhore session.

That night, Grace came & we stayed at Tzemaine's place. We were excited about next day's photoshoot! We tried to sleep early but ended up chatting till 3am++.

It's just a normal day for us on Christmas Day, but it was awesome because I was spending my time with 2 of my besties. ;)

If there's a chance, I would like to celebrate 

my Christmas in Europe, America,or any country, with SNOW. 

Merry Christmas from both of us! :D

*W*I*N*T*E*R*S*O*L*S*TI*C*E:冬至节快乐~

Made glutinous rice balls with mom yesterday.

Didn't do spiral snakes like last year's.

Mom's tong yuen's still the  best :)
Simple yet warm. ♥

Anyway, wish you all:

Happy Winter Solstice!

冬至节快乐!  ♥

With love,

Klaire

~T*R*I*P* to Hat Yai~

Had a 2D1N trip with my grandma, uncle, aunt & 2 cousins to Hat Yai.

Kids went Swensen's to have some Ice-cream, while my aunt & I had some window shopping ;)

Kids & their Oreo Ice-cream ;)

There was a Little Santa Parade at HatYai on that day! Little Santas were distributing candies from their goodie bags! So cute! Shyuen & Hen got lots of candies from them ;D

Love their food, of course. 

Floating Market was "not available" because of the rise of water level. The stalls were moved to the ground. What a disappointing thing for the visitors who came all the way from other side of the world.

The trip was LOVELY! 

Thanks to my uncle & aunt for organizing it;)

Hope to have such short trips with you all again next time!  ♥

~F*O*O*D~

Have been served with loads of food since I got back from UK.

Grandma's dishes

Mom's dishes

The very first thing I had after I landed in Malaysia. :D

Dine out food I had when I was at Singapore with my family & relatives

Dine out at Chilly Pan Mee @ Damansara, KL

My eldest brother & sis-in-law bought me ZenQ desserts

RedBox dinner buffet with my friends.

TGI Friday with Tzemaine. 

Tea time with my aunt @ Winter Warmers. Gurney Plaza, Penang

Dine out at Nyonya Restaurant @ Gurney Plaza, Penang

Thanks for all the lovely food!! I LOVE them!

However, I gained a lot of weight since the Europe Trip.
Therefore, currently I had to cut back those fried, oily, high in carbohydrates food & unhealthy snacks away from my diet. Trying to eat healthier & lose some weights before CNY 2012.

Wanna fit my new year clothes with better-looking figure. lol

Wish me luck! ;)
