This Christmas, I won't have any celebration like my previous years. So I choose to do some confession instead, just pretending I'm in a church talking to a priest. 
Here's my confession.

I been transfer schools to schools, meeting new friends at different schools. 
Once I m transferred to a new school, I neglected my friends in my old school. 
I didn't really want to stop hanging out with them.
Friends who used to be close with me, I'm really sorry. 

I'm born with a best friend. 
We always been together, even we are at different classes or schools.
I always been feeling bad for leaving her alone in that secondary school. 
I been transfer to another school by my dad. 
So my meeting new friends routine starts again, 
This is where I do not have time to spend with her.
Friends, curriculum, extra classes and her. 

We start having friends of our own,
she tried inviting me to join her new friends but at that time,
 I was all nerdy and I didn't felt I could blend in so I avoid. 
Till this moment, I'm still avoiding her sometimes,
Perhaps I'm afraid to face her because I felt sorry.

I really hope we could hang out together like before.

Somehow, I felt I been blessed to have her for my entire childhood.

Chocolate Yogurt Mousse with NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt

Firstly I would like to thank Nuffnang for giving me this opportunity to blog a sponsored post. I have never got a sponsored post offer before. This is my very very first :') , can't express how happy I'm to receive this email.
I'm so lucky that my mixer had arrive. Just in time for DESSERTS! You can never guess how much this mixer costs, it's super cheap.


As you can it's like a copy of a KitchenAid mixer. Just that it's much lighter and mini-ier than KitchenAid.


Today it would be my very 1st time posting a recipe on blog. I never ever blog about my recipes before, cause I saving all up for my future cake shop or maybe a homefeel cafe. I hope people would use my recipe and enjoy it, it would make me really really happy.


  
May I present you, the secret behind this recipe, NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt! It's healthier than any other yogurt because it's much more low in fat and sugar free.


Yogurt Chocolate Mousse
A
  • Whipping cream    250ml
  • Dark chocolate    350g
B
  • NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt    250g
C
  • Gelatine    5g
  • Water    15ml

1. Boil A ( whipping cream ) under low fire then pour over the dark chocolate. Use a spatula to even the cream on the bowl, this will melt the dark chocolate faster.

2. Sieve NESTLE Natural Set Yogurt with a cheesecloth or coffee filter. Then whip NESTLE Yogurt till fluffy. Fold in the yogurt into the chocolate mixture until even.

3. Put C ( gelatine & water ) into the microwave for 1 minute / till the gelatine melts.

4. Whisk in the gelatine mixture into 1/4 of the yogurt chocolate batter. When the gelatine is whisk evenly, combine the rest of the yogurt chocolate batter.

5. Pipe the batter into small cups, you could get them from the bakery supplier shops. Then chill it in the fridge for about 3 hours before serving.

*When whisking the gelatine mixture into the batter , make sure you do it fast or else the gelatine would coagulate*

For better presentation, you can decorate it with some berries or maybe you would try something different like mine. I decorated it with sweet basil leaf. Maybe the next time I would add chopped sweet basil in this recipe and see how it tastes.

LDR

Distances became our friend since early of March. He got the chance to work for a better future and I got a "thing" that I felt I was destined to do so I just went for it. I was upset for the 1st few months and wasn't really assure how is this going to work. Cause I'm the type of girl who loves to stick around my boyfriend.

Both parties got to work especially him, in the hospitality industry. He could not hold his phone all the time. So there is like a schedule thing between us, at what time we are free to talk and video call. Even bedtime also got to be in schedule but mostly I don really obey :P after wishing him goodnight and all, I went on with Hayday or PlantVsZombies II . 

Some people said LDR is not good, it's sad and depressing. Somehow I find it's actually good rather than always looking at each other everyday, thinking of something to say to each other. We get to communicate more with texts and understand each other. In LDR, there must be trust and faith between each other, or else it would be a dooms day. Every minute texts will come through your phone asking what are you up to or calling you when you didn't reply. Which is quite frustrating for some people but others might felt their partner is so caring. 


Different people have different point of view. Lesson learnt, people might say somethings it's not good but you got to try it and find out by yourself. BUT it also depends on what kay... 
Learnt to appreciate and love someone that did so much for you!! 

THE END~~

Gold Digger or Pure Sweetheart

Look at the title, already know what I'll talk about today. By the way, I'm not talking about digging noses for golds okay? Haha, it's the money type of gold digger. There are many types of girls around, some would set a price for their body, become someones lil step mum and so on. All these, just for easy income.


I seen a lot of girls rely on their boyfriends ALOT. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, most importantly don forget their shopping. Some even go to the extreme, their rents, handphone bills and hope their boyfriend could bring her family members to fancy dinners on the weekends. It happen all the time at where I am now.

I had also interviewed some boys about their opinion on this matter. And I could not believe what they answered me. Should I say foolish or just plain dumb? Most of them said "It's their responsibility to make sure their girlfriends have place to stay, nice clothes to wear and food to eat. Who won't be like what the fuck? China's guys are still living in the old generation's style. Living under the rock. 

Presents? This is a really funny matter. If girls does not get presents on special days, guys will get silent treatment. But if it's in the other way round, guys won't even be mad at them. So unfair right? Giving presents it's like a part of being a boyfriend's duty. And guess what happens if she does not like the present, she will said I hinted you last week at the shopping mall about the bag already right? or etc

Girls, please take note about the situation around you now. There's no more fairy tales in this generation. Prices are raising like a water tap opening except salaries. Nowadays girls or women are working, no longer stay home be housewives. Whatever boys could do, girls also could do the same. Just do something to earn money. Don be lazy, get up and work.

These are 10 signs she's a gold digger from Kanye West lyrics


  • Only takes expensive gifts no sentimental presents. No flowers cause it does not have any value on it. Say bye bye handmade presents, except you do origami with money notes. 
  • Her friends are also her crime partner. They compare each other pockets and got influenced by their tendencies. 
  • Always asked about your income status. Even before starting a relationship with you to make sure you have enough to support her the rest of your life. 
  • The bills will always be with you and only you. Or even go on Dutch. She makes you feel it's a gentleman's duty. 
  • Hates other pretty girls. Always make sure they wear and look better than any other girls. 
  • Uses their barbie looks for short-term gain. Walking with their butt and chest up high, making sure you will drool and asked you for a small favor. 
  • Status always must be number one. Only interested with guys have million business or own a grand house and car. Branded things will always be their possession. 
  • Ladder climber. Normal girls only climb ladders in their career but a gold digger would climb you after YOU. Their current boyfriend has been richer than the last one. 
  • Out of your league. No offense, mostly she would be more hotter or presentable than you. Just wonder what makes her to stay in a relationship with you especially you have a millions loaded wallet. 
  •  Entitlement. With status, she feels entitled to the easy life without hard work and even lifting a finger to achieve it. 

Here's a funny quote to end this post. Enjoy your weekends. 
A successful husband is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man!
