Phuket Trip Day 2 ( Part 2 )

Day 2 - 4/11/2012

Wat Chalong

(refer to  http://www.phuket.com/island/wat-chalong.htm for more info )

A must to visit. Fine architecture of a Siam Temple!

Gold leaves are pasted to the monk statues

Cashew Nut Factory

Doesn't worth visiting if you don't have the time. The cashew nut and all the other items like souveniers sold are marked at a high price. Takes us only 15 minutes to visit the factor, just to take a look at how they crack a cashew nut.

This traditional nutcracker is used to crack the nut

This stick is used to take the cashew nut out

Look at the raw cashew nut on the tree

Big Buddha Phuket
( refer to http://www.phuket.com/magazine/big-buddha-today.htm for more information )

It was drizzling on the day we visited Big Buddha. As you could see, Big Buddha is at the hilltop, the weather was chilly and would make you shivering in thin clothings. Luckily, I brought along my cardigan :) too bad that it's misty and there're some projects going on.

Phromthep Cape

( refer to http://www.phuket.com/island/promthep-cape.htm for more info )

The scenic view from the hilltop is indeed breathtaking!

Do drop by the stalls at the roadside to buy souveniers made from seashells. They are so cheap and unique!

Happy New Year Eve!

2012 has been a great year to me. I cherish it and love it.
2013 will be a brand new start to me. New class. New subjects to study. New life :)
*Please treat me well*

Before I welcome the year of 2013, a heartfelt thank from me deep down from my heart and soul to everyone, especially my friends ( my besties ) and my lil brother ( my cat ) who made my life a wonderful one and painted it with unforgettable moments.
With love from me, simplyhuiwen <3 p="p">
Thanks for being there with me, through the ups and downs :)
Three years of friendship is still counting!

Poppy, love you till bits. Thanks for being there with me for four years. How I wish you can stay with me forever.

Bread and Butter Pudding #repost

Here goes my one last bake in 2012
--> Bread and Butter Pudding 
http://littleprincess1997.blogspot.com/2012/03/little-chef-diary-bread-and-butter.html
 It will be a quick and easy after meal dessert or even a simple breakfast. This time instead of using Massimo Bread, I used Hotel Bread, bought from La Boheme at Aeon (formerly Jusco)

Phuket Trip Day 2 ( Part 1)

So, after such a long time, I decided to continue my blogpost on my Phuket Trip last month :)

As from my previous post, you will find that I stayed at Emotion Place during my trip at Phuket, Thailand. They do offer day trips around Phuket or even to the islands but we opt to customize our day trip with the recommendation by the owner of the hostel on the tourist destinations which are worthy to go.

Leo Children Christmas Party // Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate chips

2012 is coming to an end. Sigh :( school is reopening very soon so I decided to blog on a quick post here until who knows when I will have the time to write a blog post again.

On the 18 Dec 2012, the day after I came back from St. John State Cadet Camp which brings me loads of awesome and unforgettable memories, Leos of different schools, such as Kepong Baru amd USJ 4 headed to a children' and old folks' home. We took the LRT to KL Sentral and took a KTM to Kepong. KTM was indeed a little slow snail which seems to move an inch in an hour ( just kidding ) but anyway it moves really slow compared to LRT. If you spotted that there's a coach painted pink from the outside which is meant for women, you may be surprised MEN who are not sure whether they are a guy or a girl may just hopped in to the women coach. That's Malaysia!

Back to the topic, so we had an early Christmas celebration with the lil kids and some old folks. Mummy asked us to give our Christmas tree to them and now we are christmas tree-less for Christmas :( hope to get a new one next year. Leos sing along some Christmas songs with them, played some games and also decorated the Christmas tree. I have always faced the problem of being shy when mixing with new friends in a new environment. But the other Leos do have a PR skills, unlike me. I woukd give a thumbs-up to the other Leos, especially those from USJ 4 who try to interact with the old folks whom we neglected during our visit.

Besides that, I decided to bake some vanilla cupcake ( the same recipe from the previous post ) and added some chocolate chips which blends well with the cupcakes. The kids were happy to have the cupcakes :) baking is always my favourite hobby

Leos from SMK Damansara Utama

Rotting here.

Hmphh.. Holiday passes really fast and now I'm welcoming December which means a brand new year of 2013 is approaching. Oh great, this means school is going to start very soom after Christmas.

To be honest, I didn't really do much of studiying during this holiday although I planned to finish the whole book of a Singapore syllabus vocabulary book. Sigh. I couldn't be blamed for not finishing it as I was busy with lots of stuff.

Still in the process of organizing the annual Leo Bazaar. Couldn't wait for it. And Children Christmas Party by the Lions this Sunday! I really cherish the opportunity of becoming a Leos. I can feel the pride instill in my soul at the moment I pledged as a Leo on the day I was installed. No matter what the others think, I can proudly say : I RAWR as a Leo!!

# appreciate the moments in my secondary life, as a Leo and a St John :)
