"i feel art and nothing else"

I know I haven't been updating much, too much is going on in my life right now.
I'm just thankful for the little things I have in life, and in hopes that all hindrance would disapparate far far away.

Thank goodness inspiration still flows freely and constantly.
I know many designers who lose that will to be inspired, and I don't intend to lose mine. Ever.
That's what blogs are for after all. :)

"viva la paris"

Parisian lights, one of the sights I hope to see, soon indeed. :)






A place for sexy people who do sexy things.


Not that I'd be doing anything of that sort. XD

"have a magical meal"

DINNER @ THE MAGIC WOK


So, Chinese New Year is like less than 3 weeks away. *gasp*
Have you decided on where to have your annual family gathering dinner?
If you haven't, you may want to consider coming here.
If you have, well, you might still want to consider.

Let the photos tell you why.










They have other sorts of Yee Sang available like the Salmon & Jelly Fish.
Ive never tried jelly fish yee sang, ever!
I wonder how does jelly fish taste like. Jell-O?







Okay, I have to admit that I'm no fan of lotus-involved dishes.
But one thing about this dish is that it is so thinly sliced (unlike the thick slices they use in soups) that it doesn't taste all bad since it's fried with olive leaves.
I love food made with olive oil, and so this was really the nicest lotus dish I've tasted.








This is delicious!
Not just the fish, but especially the soup. It's peppery and just nicely salted.
There wasn't any fishy taste in the broth at all. It's a MUST to try! :D







The Magic Wok's most famous dish, the duck.
Eventhough I prefer chicken to duck, this is one wicked duck.
He's brown, tasty, crispy, tender, and he has a nice sauce to go with.








Prawns baybeh! Seriously, the chef can cook anything from poultry to creatures of the sea.
Huge prawns, fresh, and such a delicious style of cooking them.
This is second best to prawns baked with cheese, which they serve to by the way. ;D







If you think all of the above is delicious, this is the fave of the night!
One of the few dishes which was finished right off the bat, without hesitation.
Even the name itself gives a BIG BIG hint of it's allure.
When was the last time you had something that's finger lickin' good?








Homemade tofu, freshly made by them which was smooth and silky to the tongue.
Goes real nice with the abalone slices.








Beef, it's my favorite kinda meat.
I absolutely love the sauce that goes with it, it doesn't taste like those sort of 'braised' sauce you usually get. Im suspecting that an additional Ingredient X is added into this.








The lamb is good, not as awesome as the beef was.
But then again I may be a little bias. XD









A very common dish, but it's always a must for every meal that exceeds 5 courses.







And last but not least, our dessert.
It's yummy, and not too sweet. I love the sea coconut and the longan was really crispy.
It's that nice to the point where Rebecca has to be the first to grab it. Lol.
:)


That concludes our delicious dinner. We were all very full, and our tummies were really pleased.
It's hard to pass up good food!


I met everyone for the first time (except Simon), and some whom I've only known virtually through their blogs. It was definitely a good night. :D

If you're very much tempted to try, or if your tummy needs to be pleased, then by all means make plans to visit The Magic Wok.
They're open throughout CNY and they have some dinner packages for families. ;)

"home improvements"

Shopping at IKEA is always fun when there are so many things you can buy, even if you don't need them. XD

My family is one example of people who tend to buy things they don't really need. Like the starlight lamp & red sheepskin rug my mom bought.
Or the weird shaped candy jar and rubber egg beaters she picked out just cos they looked 'cool'.

However, I am more of a Practical Priscilla. I buy things which I actually need. (well,sometimes, and this is one of those times!)
I upgraded my old wheelie table for a clean, white one.






Then this new wardrobe as additional space for my bursting one.
I swear, buying clothes every week without giving any away is hard to live with.
I prolly should open an eBay account and bid away the things I dont need.


My dad & brother were working on building this earlier.
DIY is so not fun.



And it's so not their thing.
See how the dufftail corner's off and the door doesnt close as it should?
Plus it's slightly imbalanced.



It's nice, apart from the workmanship.
But yeah, beggars cant be choosers.
So i shall just smile & be appreciative.

"be afraid, be very afraid"

I got this from Jon some time ago, been meaning to have it posted up for your entertainment. :p
Cat lovers will get a kick out of this. I did. XD









(I told you cats are from outer space) :p
























































*click on image*



Yep, I took the quiz myself.
And they told me that there is an 80% chance that my cat is plotting to kill me.

So much for loving him. Pffts.

Thursday, January 14, 2010

I blogged about some ways you can import some of Mac's ingenious programs into your Windows Vista platform like The Dock (Object Dock), Expose (Switcher), and even The Dashboard (myBoard)

Read that post here.


Recently, myBoard dashboard has been updated to the latest 1.3 version with more new features to go with.
Unless you're a person who prefer's simplicity, I'll show you why you should upgrade to this newer version.



Apart from the usual bug fixes & faster performance, I would like to stress on the great new magnets available.

(clockwise from top left)
1. World Clock
Now you can have more than one clock on your dashboard, displaying times from different areas of the world.

2. My Tunes
You don't even have to open your iTunes with this magnet. You can just play your songs, pause, skip, shuffle or loop. Music info and duration is displayed. The only thing missing would be the album art feature. But Im not complaining, it's awesome. :D

3. Weather Widget
Unlike the previous weather widget in the older version, this one covers weather around the world instead of just European countries. Which is why im starting to use it now.

4. Sinapse
Twitter right from the dashboard and get immediate tweet updates. Very useful for quick tweeting. It doesnt have a scroller though so you only get to view the latest 5 tweets. And it does not support photo or video uploads. Useful though for quick tweeting.

5. Post-It
These were the same as the ones from the older version. You can still flip to the back to change the font type, font size and color of the post-it. Uber useful!

6. Capture
One of my favorite new additions. This magnet allows you to capture screenshots on selected parts of your screen. You get three options to save to desktop, save to clipboard or upload to Image Shack. It works, and it's great!


There are more magnets in the Store which is easily accessed from the dashboard itself.
Just click on that little 'Magnet Store' button on the bottom left and the store opens.



You are required to create an account before you are allowed to obtain magnets.
It just takes less than 2 minutes to sign up anyways. :D

You can then immediately sign on to the store once your email has been verified.



Browse through the store and look for the magnets you need, click Install and within minutes (seconds even), your magnet will be automatically installed into your dashboard.
Just drag it out and use. :D


myBoard is exclusively developed by Yann ALET and it is available for download for free:


Have fun with this! :)

"dolls imitating life"

People are one of the main things which inspire me.
And we can see how they've inspired the creation of Barbie dolls which imitates life itself.

Our very own life-sized Barbie which inspires all?
None other than the one and only Lady Gaga.




Am so going goo-goo over Gaga.
I wish they had Lady Gaga barbies back then.



A weetle cuppycake to cheer me up.
And it's Parisian too.


Thanks for the sweet treat Marx. ;)

"glam punk, glam frunk"


A vintage Joan Jett barbie, can you believe?

Im so sick of all those blonde haired, perfect faced barbies. They're creepy.
Now this, this is revolutionary (okay not really) and the new glam.
There's a whole load of attitude in those eyes, and hell she's even wearing liquid leather pants.
I wants! :D



My new obsession:

Proenza Schouler lace up boots



Gotta love the texture & those sleek yellow & brown lines.
And check out that heel!

An eye catcher, that's for sure! :)

"another year, another cheer"


Happy 2010 Everyone! :)


A year has gone so swiftly flying by
So silent, so subtle
You can hardly hear it flutter
And yet you feel the changes
The presence of another one
Bigger, bolder, more mysterious than ever
Will you be naughty
Or will you be nice at the end of the year
I guess we'll just have to find out
The present is here.




Hmmm.. and exactly where do we go from here?
What lies beyond the rainbow & that pot of gold?

I guess we'll never know until we go.

"your love is an empty vessel"

Love gives you the power to make or break a person.

In my case, ive been broken beyond repair.
It's a cliche, but thanks for the memories.

Sometimes when a door closes, another opens.
Like what someone recently told me, 'fate definitely has something else in store'.
And that I believe.


Broken as I am, life goes on.
