Online Shopping: a-fashion-story.com

Online shopping has became a trend nowadays.  True, there are certain things that I would prefer to go and see, touch, try and feel myself but sometimes, I just don't have the time to go around to look for some stuff that I needed.  So one day, out of random, I found out about this website called A-Fashion-Story.com.  

Well I am a little bit worried at first when I heard so many people complaining the down side of going online shopping (I myself not really a fan though) - items received are not in good condition, items not received, items arrived late and so many more.  I took my chances, due to the testimonials posted on the website's wall...there are quite a number of satisfied customers...why don't I give it a try, I thought and placed an order.  

It arrived within 2 days!  Check out my post here.

So, what did I ordered this time?  I made my order last Wednesday (2 days ago - 07/03/2012).  Guess what, it arrives today (09/03/2012) via Pos Laju couple minutes ago!  

When I opened the pos laju parcel, I found my items were neatly packed inside a container.

I am very impressed!  ^_^V

The revealing of the items I got from them this time....

Tadaaaaa!!!!  =)

I know the ones on the left is not my usual butterfly pattern that I loved (how I wish it was butterflies!)

But somehow the design captured me, and I can't resist it.

In the middle, again, a butterfly necklace and the ones on the right is butterfly hook earrings.

If you are a fan of accessories like me, check out their website and take your pick.  All prices are reasonable, fast delivery, neat packaging and if you noticed, all items are nicely categorized for easy surfing with detailed description.  If you are going to purchase the items as a gift for a friend, family member or love ones, just fill in the receiver's address and they will do the rest for you, as long as payment has been cleared.  They even got discounts for purchase RM60 and above in single receipt.  And yeah, RM8 coupon for every photo you taken wearing their items...which reminds me...I should take photo with these ya?  =) 

Happy shopping!  ^_^V

Dry and humid evening...

It's quite dry yesterday.  Perhaps due to the heavy rain at Peninsula?  I don't know.  Anyway, after our dinner at Anak Mami Nasi Kandar Restaurant yesterday, me and Bunny went for a little shopping (me, actually) at Servay in Penampang Baru.  Mainly because....I...need...to...get...myself...some...pimple...cream.  Yes, grew a pimple on my cheek is not funny.  =(

Well, thought we will be home earlier than usual after that shopping trip, but Bunny feels like wanted to have some herbal drink...said that he feels a little dehydrated.  Perhaps due to the humid weather I guess.

So..I suggested we went to Yen Ai at Lintas instead.  For your info, Yen Ai is quite famous for their light snacks, herbal drinks and variety of sweet desserts in reasonable price.

This is not beer aaa...hehehe...

it's sea coconut with longan drink.  This is Bunny's but I had a sip and love it.  Tasted just right.

I love red beans...

Can't resist this red bean ice with coconut milk and evaporated milk.

Yummy!  Hehehe...

Anyway, something new and exciting will be happening soon.  Will let you all know once it really happens ya!  

Dinner at Grace Point

It was a cloudy day yesterday, and it stays that way till night time.  Bunny came and pick me up for dinner (thankfully!) as the kitchen light went kaput since couple days ago, and my aunt still hasn't called up electrician to fix the problem - not sure who she appointed to fix it - so cooking after 6pm and before 6am is a mission impossible.  

Anyway, after the usual 'where to eat' 'what to eat' Q & A sessions with me bugging him endlessly with all the list of food that I can think of...I (yes, me!!) decided to pick a place and then we will decide what to eat there.  After so many pros and cons of each place - distance, parking (yes, KK seem to have not enough parking or is KK people is getting richer every single day - cause the number of cars on the road gets more and more, and I am talking about brand new cars!)

So finally, we decided to go to Grace Point.  There are quite a number of food stalls with different type of food - nasi lemak, Indonesian, so called Melaka food (but more like ordinary), Indian, Middle-East, chicken rice...etc.  Anyway, we settled down on these from one of the stalls...

Bunny's curry chicken rice.

He didn't made a squeak or anything.  Tasted okay lah...

Nasi Ikan Goreng Asam

(Fried Asam Fish with rice)

couple pieces of fish rubbed in tamarind juice and deep fried.

So-so lah.  

I saw this one particular Indonesian stall with a quite interesting menu...hrm...perhaps I should try that next time.  Which reminds me, I should have gone to Jesselton Point for nasi ayam penyet instead last night...*sigh*

AngeLBeaR Cooks: Vegeroni Tuna Salad

When the word 'salad' came into mind, the first thing that came into mind is something green and healthy.  Well, I think health freaks will spear me if they learnt that my version is more like 'comfort food' (which literally means, unhealthy) hahahaha....

Anyway, one of the dishes that my family loves (and survives) is my variety if pasta salads.  So today, am going to share you one of the family (and friends') favorites:  Vegeroni Tuna Salad.

Well off course...you going to need...

This time, I am using spiral vegeroni, mainly because it gives color (LOL)

you can also use penne, macaroni, bow...whichever is your favorite.

Cook the pasta like usual, set aside and leave it to cool.

(Tip: to prevent the pasta from sticking when it cooled down, put a little oil in the water when you boiling them)

Green apples, cut into your preferred size.

You may also use red ones but I prefer the green to give that sweet-sourish taste with a crunch.

Morever, red apples bruised easily so the salad doesn't look that nice.

Some cucumbers.  I had to use the normal ones here as it was the only thing available in the fridge.

Usually I will be using the other type of cucumbers, which some people called the 'Japanese cucumbers', the zucchini like types which is crunchier and less or almost seedless.  If you are using the common cucumbers, remember to remove the seeds as it will cause your salad gets watery.

Some flaked tuna.  You can use the chunks ones if you wanted to.

If you don't want to use tuna, you may also use chicken.  Deep fry some chicken fillets then cut into bite sized pieces.  Or, grill some squid and cut it into strips.  If you love shrimps, just boil it till it cooks then peel the shell, or using crabstick will do just fine too, even better, crab meat!

Some raisins...as much as you like.

I love this as it will give that sweetness into the salad.

You may also boil some kidney beans and put in the salad if you like.

...and to put it all together, generous amount of mayonaise, as much as you like, any brand you prefered.

(This is not a paid post/sponsored by Ladies' Choice)

So...once all the ingredients set and ready....the next step - mix it all together!  Easy kan?

carefully mix everything together, put in the refrigerator to chill (not in the freezer ok!)

then...have it anytime of the day as you please.

Why I didn't put any specific measurements of all the ingredients you may ask?  It's because, that's how I usually do in the kitchen...agak-agak mah....hehehehehe....enjoy and have a nice weekend!  =)

Simply...Beautiful.

Mother Nature has her own way of showing off sometimes.  

Bunny picked me up after he got off from work (well, actually after he went to get his marker fixed at our proshop) and then we went to Tanjung Aru Beach again yesterday - I was thinking about the ice cream truck only to find out that it wasn't there that day, but there's something else totally took away my 'no ice cream' moment and we are just amazed by how Mother Nature shows her beauty.

Honestly speaking...I want nothing more than being there, just there till the sky got dark.  

.....and this is one of the reason why I love and proud of living in Sabah.  It has something that you can't find anywhere else.  =)
