My First MRE

After binge watching MRE videos on YouTube, I made the crazy decision to purchase MREs.
At first, I wanted to buy local Malaysian MREs, but after consulting my Police friend (you know who you are hehehe), I've decided against it.
Reason being, it is more like a nasi lemak wrapped up, and the shelf life is waaaay too short (around 6 mths)
So I imported Chinese Ration MRE from TaoBao.

The package arrived today!!

Just look at how gorgeous this it...
It even came with a multipurpose knife.
Awesome

Quick info:

• MRE = Meal Ready-to-Eat
• First used in US military
• Can be used during camping trips
• Recent MREs include flameless heat packs
• For the Chinese MRE that I have, it has a shelf life of 36 mths (3 years)

Watch my unboxing/taste testing video here.

Needless to say, a nice and delicious experience.
My two cents, I think this Chinese Ration is either a 2 person pack or it can last you for 2 meals.
We finished ours during dinner.
Yummy!

Till next time people!

My Braces Journey - Part 2

25 Nov 2015 - 7pm

The day before I got my braces, I was surprisingly calm (well, the few days prior to this in which I'm reading profusely / panicky about how to handle the first day of getting braces doesn't really count :P)

So I proposed to my friends that we had a night off before I say goodbye to good food temporarily. 

Bachelor party for my crooked teeth before they got Tied Down... AmIRightPeople??? 

(heh, excuse the lame pun)

I have awesome friends... 

They agreed to it without a second thought! 

(Awww, I love you guys)

Love you pepo! 

Even though you guys are a bunch of weirdos :P

My food itinerary goes something like this:

Chocolate Mousse Cake @ Dolce Dessert House

Al-Cabonara Linguine @ Soul Cafe

Hokkien Mee @ Green House Hokkien Mee Burmah Road

In which they are finished in a short span of 3 hours. 

BEST. DAY. EVA!

So that's it!

Au Revoir Ms.Crooked!

 26 Nov 2015 - 9am

Woke up, brushed my teeth, took a bath, washed my hair... (why am I telling you guys all these)
Had a wholesome breakfast which consist of my mom's homemade roasted chicken wings along with Angel Hair pasta. (I'm in heaven)
Went to the orthodontist, aaaaaaaaand waited for my turn.
My mom had her filing done first, then I hopped on the dental chair that looks like the twisted man from The Saw would had so much fun there.

My orthodontist was patient and skillful, and loheng cause he likes to 'zhat' me... hahaha. 

I got Damon braces glued to my teeth, then a wire attached to those brackets. 

Took about 1 hour. 

It was relatively painless (except for that one time the orthodontist hissed and said "Aiya...." and that scared the wits out of me) and everything went quite well. 

I went home feeling well and prepared.....

Lenglui with braces

BUT, I was totally wrong. 

Days before, I prepared myself for the worst, gums infection. 

That happens when the metal brackets scraped the inner walls of your mouth. 

So I was wary enough to ask for dental wax from the orthodontist. (Feeling smart here)

Feeling like I've triumphed, I went home with a crooked and swollen smile. 

Only to realize, that's not the worst part,,,,

After I've got my braces fixed, I felt literally nothing, more like a foreign object on my teeth... 

After a few hours, these 'foreign objects' started to carry their weight... 

Not forgetting that constant pulling of the metal wire that literally Realigns your Jaw!

Towards the afternoon, I experienced a nagging headache... 

Well it went off after some rest. 

In the evening however, it felt kinda itchy! 

Hahahaha...

BTW, I am now on a soft diet, so I'm glad my friends and my mom prepared me for that. <3 div="">

So yea!

That's about it! 

A short update on my journey. 

Perhaps I'll come back when I experience something new.

Till next time lovely pepo!

Bean Boozled!

One week after I came back from KL, I called up a few of my friends to have a small gathering...

While torturing them with this lil thingy right here.... MUAHAHAHAHA (*insert devil laugher)

I bought this in One Utama, in a shop called Candylicious. 

And, I thought it would be a great Challenge to us all!

Everything is set. 

We (Ms.Pheyee and I) cooked a delectable Western dinner beforehand to first pleasure their tastebuds...

AND THEN, we whipped out these bad guys and started our game. Yeeeehehehehehehe!

It was awesomely awkward nonetheless!

Check out the video to see how we played the Bean Boozled challenge!

Ahhh, fun times. 

Hopefully there will be more? 

Have a nice day pepo!

Key Painting

My parents bought locks and keys which looked alike.
It had been troublesome for us to get used to the new locks.
So, I decided to paint it. :)

Le me prepping with art 

I covered half the key to make the nail paint stick to only the top part.

Afterwards, I designed the keys. 

I used a total of 6 colours to decorate the keys 

(4 main colours and 2 supplementary ones)

Drying process is a drag, cause I have to make sure all locks and keys are dried before I continue. 

As you can see, I've used paper cups and I put holes in the ends of them to make the keys stand so they won't touch each other during drying.

Hot sun was helpful.

I'd say I prefer the hot sun to the cool aircon. 

I felt that the sun dries up the keys and locks better. 

The end product!

I loved the way the colours come in contrast.

Shiny Pink, Polka Dots Yellow, Strips Blue, Mixed Yellow-Blue and Bright Red

I don't think I'll mix up my keys and locks again.

It took me quite some time, but I managed to finish it before noon. 

Aaaand this is how I spend my weekends NOT doing my assignments. X)

Have a nice day beautiful pepo!

Home Made Cheese Fondue!

It's the mid sem break again!

And I'd say it's been very fruitful indeed.

And, I've also tried my hands into cheese fondue!

Been inspired months ago after watching this video. 

So when I was with my mom shopping for our weekly groceries, my mom was kind enough to buy me some cheese...
And the Fondue begins!

I first prepared the ingredients needed to be dipped, namely tomatoes, prawns, sausages and bread croutons.
Then I mix the fondue by adding shredded cheese with some corn starch and milk and I heat it.
There you have it!!!
Cheese Fondue!

My family and I definitely enjoyed this fattening snack. :)

Cheerio!
