Life is Peachy!

At the moment, i think life for me is quite peachy! I mean im human and i have my ups and downs... But having said that, when you have a good day, you all of a sudden remember why you should be happy today and most days!! 

I had a good day guys!! I had a lovely day off work where i did not feel rushed at all... I woke up late :D i chilled with my mom and caught up.. Had lunch with my younger sister.. Met my old college friend up in the late afternoon and had a frappe and caught up before he went back up to bristol to party it up for his birthday... Then i met up my other friend up in westfields and had a really fun evening over dinner and a hilarious movie!! I had a really fun and awesome day and even tho i have to get up really early to go church to cook and serve brunch, i'm still really relaxed and happy about it!! maybe its because its voluntary, thats why i dnt stress on it... rather than waking up and being obliged to be at work for authority..not freewill but a slave to makin money to survive... hmmmm... abit too deep for a saturday night blog post.. lol!!

Anyways i'm sure alot of people in LONDON had a good day today because the weather was really nice!! like for once this week, a day without sunshine patches and hard rain on the same day!! How confusing is it to decide what to wear right?!!! lol!

Goodnight awesome people!! :) xxx

Banh Cuon baby

Yea once in awhile, I post pictures of food I eat! Haha! I think its an oriental thing because Dr Nakamatsu took pictures of food he ate everyday for 37yrs or so and still counting! He got a noble prize for it!!

This is Banh Cuon, one of my favourite vietnamese homecooked dishes.. Its basically rice flour steamed pancakes with a savoury filling inside of shallots, prawns, pork mince, black sea fugus n seasoning. I have it with coriander and crisp shalots and 'nuon mam' dressing..

There is a lot of work and time put into it makin them... But ahh it soo good!! This is why I can never become a vegetarian!! I love traditional foods a lot!! :)

I would recommend a good viet restaurant for u guys to go try, but I have not found one that makes the perfect Pho Ga yet...I will let ya'll know when I do!! :)

Summer Cleaning!!

Melon, Negipoo and Grape being Sillayyy! :D

know it was friday night but i did go for a after work thing with a few friends..went home early coz weather was bad and i really didn't wanna take night bus home by myself (bad past experience!)

anyways me and my roomie got home around the same time and we propa summer cleaned both our wardrobes, rooms and just everything!! Feels soooooo GOOD to have a nice and fresh tidy living space!! 

I'm soo buzzin with happiness i'm not tired!! I got a few more things to sort out tomo in terms of paper works but with things checked off to do mostly done, i can go on vacation with alil less stress now!!

I'm usually not so organised because i can't throw anything away.. I THREW ALOTTT away today! shoes, cd's, books, clothes, skincare, make up, accessories, old technology and just stuff i would never use really!! Both me and Melon are lil messy when it comes to clothes!! haha! don't judge!! I'm getting into the good habits now... My speech to her the other day was literally:-

" If you can't achieve the small goals, what makes you think you can achieve the bigger ones??"

and that applies to everything!! Reflect on that guys..it could be diets, studies, work down to something small like taking your suppliments everyday or doing laundry every sunday!! :D

Good Luck guys!! xxx

Food Poisoning!!

It's not me..It's my roommate!! She told me lastnight whiles she was at work that she keeps throwing up and she thinks she has food poisoning!! So i woke this morning to her running to the washroom and immediately searched my half awoken brain for remedies to help her cope with it...

I have alway known ginger to help with the feeling of Nausea so i got up and made her a mega starbucks mug size of ginger tea mixed with fresh ginger, a whole lemon and a teaspoon of manuka honey... I'm not sure wether that will help but i hope it does... Sipping it slowly will hopefully help ease the stomach and the feeling of nausea...

Drinking plenty of fluids that are clear... but again, slowly because you will probably throw it all back up if you drink too fast!!

Another home remedy that helps with alot of things is Apple Cider Vinegar.. In this case, if taken whiles having food poisoning, could help to make you feel better within the next half an hour... I am actually going to purchase some today because im out of it so i could give my roommate some.

Guys i'm just letting you know these things just incase you or someone you know gets it.. It's good to share the knowledge to the younger generation so they can try to get better without taking antibiotics and pharmaceutical drugs...

Other things that will help are activated charcoal tablets (binds toxins in the stomach and mops it up so you don't absorb much of them), drinking Colloidal silver might help (its a safe and natural antibiotic thats super safe to use for everywhere and everything. It kills bacteria, viruses and fungal and so much more germs and it just tastes like regular water!!) or taking probiotics if you have the runs (especially the strain saccharomyces bolardi which will help with diarrhoea..

Hope this post was helpful!

Good luck guys and dollz xx

My Bestfriend is better than your Bestfriend!!!

When we were about 17yrs old!!

Hahahahhahahaaa, what a title right?? we'll... it's kinda true!! Lemme explain...

1stly, i kinda don't believe in bestfriends anymore..yet somehow, i sorta have one!! A long time ago i used to try to find the perfect friendship in another girl... I used to treat my 'bestfriend' like family yet what had always happened was that i would get hurt that they don't value me the way i value them, i'd get hurt if she doesn't come to my birthday celebration or something stupid like that... Sorta like a relationship actually where you expect too much... It's happened too many times for me to sit back and think ' oh i'll just find someone else to replace you' i gave up on the whole idea of a bestfriend all together... It's hard enough trying to have a relationship and make time for a partner, why would you want to create more expectations and obligations to a friend??

My 22nd bday treat from her..

The way i see my relationship with my bestfriend is sorta the way i want my future relationship to be with my husband... Where we support and help eachother, don't constantly have to see eachother to function...I don't expect anything from her, i accept the good and the flaws in her... and whenever we do get together, its amazing and we always have a good time even just washing up the dishes together in church!!

Our random drive to brighton beach with senia

Jessy has always been there for me and i never knew it!! When i had problems with 'friends that were suppose to be my closest ones' from school and when my supposed bestfriend didn't apprieciate my support.. she was always there to give me advice, she was a great friend and all in all, i didn't realise that we were so simular and shared alot of the same beliefs, we both kicked ASS in college with me getting top grades and her coming 2nd :D  WE didn't hang out or meet up too often but when we did, it was like just yesterday we saw eachother, no chemistry lost! So both of us thought if we were to have a bestfriend..surely it would be someone you turn to and feel comfort and support from without the expectation of anything in return... so there you go.. thats how i found my bestfriend!! :D and she is super awesomeness!!

oh but we both think our younger sisters are our bestfriends...we grew up with them...pretty cool how similar we are! i love it!! lol!

We did it Friends style and i messed about in a wedding gown with her lol!!

The reason for this post is because i'm just so proud of her! She's achieved a top grade for her degree as a interior designer and shes getting married next year to the love of her life!! i'm so happy for her!! I get to be a bridesmaid and it's just gonna be exciting to be apart of the biggest celebration of her life...

Oh yea, i found an awesome blog for wedding inspirations...might help you cut the costs alil bit :)

Click Here for The Wedding Blog Jess!!

Jess if you're reading this... One day when i'm as lucky as you....you plan my wedding, u'd be better prepared the 2nd time round :D xxx

Fathers day was family LOVE day!!

Traditionally, I usually don't remember fathers day... I usually forget it as a holiday to give thanks to my daddy but since last year, family has meant so much more to me... and i still remember my daddy moaning saying why he doesn't recieves flowers and cards on fathers day but my mom does lo!! well it's because it mom and she gave us life and she shouwed us love!!

Never the Least, my dad actually really loves me.. in fact... If my siblings read this, they dnt even have to pretend but they know that i am his favourite..(he told me in secret all my life!) haha!! Its kinda true and i think its got to do with the fact that i was hand delivered by him out of my mom... and that i looked like him and i was a dark m******ker like him despite being named 'Snow' lol!! i dno, i was hands on and liked tomboyish things so i got along with my dad...

Today i went to church in the morning to volunteer at the cafe and cook and serve and clean up after breakfast service there... got my bestie to help out as her 1st time at my church too lol!! she loved it!! So she drove me home so i can drive half my family to chinatown for a family dim sum gathering for my daddyo!! It was weird.. 1st time the whole family is together.. all my siblings, even my sisters bf and my niece..AND my immigrant of a roommate came along too :D lol!! It was sooo awesome!!! like my family is small but for the 1st time ever, it felt big!!

dim sum was awesome! i got to make my room mate try everything on the table n she loved it!! After , everyone split up to do their own thing, parents went to gamble (i know..so bad right?? O_o") bro took his daughter sumwhere, older sis n her bf went chinese supermarket n me, melon n my younger sis Lyn just killed time because i wasn't about to drive home soo sson when it took me forever to find my parking spot!!! drivers u understand me right??? lol!!

anyways after exploring chinatown like a tourist to show melon whats what, my grou n my old sis n her bf went to a dessert house cafe because they were going on about ice cream cakes lol! The picture above was the mango ice cream cake ( which was mines n it was soooo awesomee!!) n the strawberry ice cream cake melon ordered!

 I love my family so much!! when i don't see them, i miss them alot... I never grew up with loadsa friends, my siblings were my bestfriends :) oh and mama was my home boy!! lol!

hope everyone has an awesome fathers day!! Let me know how you spent yours and what you did for your daddy ay??

Killin time in apple..

Hey guys.. I'm just in Apple store right now... actually.. i've had a few problems with my mac lately so i wanted to get it checked out in case my baby dies on me and all my life is lost for good!! Gosh i need to invest in a super terrabyte external harddrive!!

So it seems to be all good and workin now..the people in this store are sooo nice!! one guy carried my work suitcase for me whiles walkin me to my appointment at the genius bar!! :) 

So let me update on my day... I worked in wigmore st today, to be honest i'm pretty terrified of the manaer there because he is emotionless and quite hitler scary because he gives me the vibes that he hates me... :s but everyones says thats just him..and actually..he was quite nice to me today..maybe coz i didn't dare leave the shop floor coz he might get pissed or sumfin!! 

The weather was nice today...quite warm and sunny and i had my lunch in the park...finished early today so i walked to the apple store to get my mac fixed!  and ermm yea, thats it.. pretty boring huh? thats why i dnt blog about work or anyfin no more...my job isn't exciting other than if i meet an extraordinary character!!

The Tao of Jeniniooo...

Today... I woke up really early....For a day off work, that not normal for me, but it was forced because i had a teaching of buddism at a temple to go to this morning...

I got there around 9ish am... and it was a whole day thing actually..longer than the hours i work per day!!

Where do i even begin!!?!

The master taught us about many aspects of the faith... Zen and Tao and the Truth were words used alot today... 

We started by meditating.. then teaching us the basics of Buddism and the origin of it... The reasons why candles and offerin fruits and burning incense is an integral part of the religion...

It not really a religion but a way of life to be exact... Buddists are peaceful people, they believe in loving the world the way God created it, not killing anything and being filled with light and wisdom to make the world a better place... Its the positive energies within them that they believe can create peace and love that this world has forgotten and so badly needs to be remember again...

I was sorta baptisted into the Buddism today actually... Totally unaware that was going to happen when i said i wanted to come and learn!! It's called 'Recieving Tao' where you pray to the Matreya buddha, look at the lit candle above him as the master monk blesses you and opens your third eye.. i repeated a mandarin statement that i had no idea what i was saying but i suppose its probably stating i will not do bad things and do and be only good and kind... I still have some books to read that they gave me on my new buddist goodie bag lol!! Oh and the fruit on the shrine that was offered to the Buddhas and prayed on, they gave them out at the end.. The master monk gave me an apple for Peace and an organe for health.. Whchi still need to eat to ain my super powers :D

Oh and this is my lil certificate of when and where i got baptised.. see you are not allowed to know about the 3 treasures of recieving Tao if you are not baptised... Because it would not work..Thats what i learnt anyways... but yea guys... I'm pretty glad i did go to this...I learnt alot and i like that Buddists believe in Christ aswell... They are not conflicting people... They just teach a very healthy and peaceful way of life to the world...

OH YEAHH!! I forgot to say...because i have recieved Tao (baptised) they say i am officially struck off from going Hell in the afterlife so they only way is up to heaven :D how nice is that to know huh?? either way...i aim only to do very good things for God..for this world..and for the people i love...I hope i can become a better and more kinder and wiser people from now on... :)

Buddism... Confused??

Hey guyz!!

Heres a thinker.. What is Buddism?? I know its a religion... I know a basic knowledge about it to be fair.. But only because its in my culture...

Ok heres what i know... I know that there is a shrine in my house... i know that in CNY, we pray to it and i know how Buddha and the laughing Buddha looks like... i know its a peaceful religion, i know we have monks.. i know its nice and not conflicting... but any more to that?? No...

Like i've mentioned, i have never been forced to grow up with a religion, my parents were never strict on that because they weren't brought up like that aswell.. Like they were as in household cultures back home, but not the way the real buddists do it.. So i'm so confused what it really is all about...

My older sisters bf's mom is a strict and practising Buddist.. Which influences my sis bf and my older sis herself... She knows im interested in learning new things at the moment so she invited me to a temple to learn about Buddism.. In ENGLISH!! :D which btw, is very rare in the uk... so i had to go.. because i wont get another chance like this in awhile... I'm curious... I can't form an opinion unless i've gained knowledge on it... and from what i've heard... Buddism teachngs are very nice... wanna know my experience... Watch this space.. I'm gonna blog in my next post my experience.. x

Relationship advice..

I'm gonna start creating posts about that subject that makes people feel overly happy and deepy torn apart... I'm better at being your agony aunt in person but some things i share n feel, i feel everyone should hear even if they decided to secretly read this blog... :) its perfectly fine :) as long as you go away from this page learning and takin in something u could use to enhance your own lives :) watch this spaces guyz n dollz! xxx

skincare as of now!!!

Good skin doesn't happen overnight...

Ok alot of people have been asking me how and what i use for my skin to be so clear and soft at the moment... Trust me, i have bad skin days aswell... But what i'm doing right, i plan to stick to for a good while.. :)

Skincare products i use now:

1. Dr Hauschka Cleasning cream

2. Dr Hauschka Facial toner

3. Jasons Cocoa Butter

yep, no special serums, oils or creams, just simple products that work... Which leads me to my supplements and diet..

Supplements i take every morning:

1. Glisodin Elite

2. HA Elite

3. PluShinzo3

4. Wheatgrass Elite

5. Higher Nature MSM

I drink at least 2 litres of water a day... i used to find that hard to do now, its so easy i love water!! I don't drink any coffee or teas..if i do, its rare!! and i try to have 2 out of 3 healthy meals a day if not 1 out of 2 if i fail to eat more than twice a day!! And food wise, i eat more vegetarian foods than i do meats and dairy... simple because its not what i would prefer to make myself unless its already in my face (i.e moms cooking or at a restaurant!!)

Hope it helps!!

Good Luck!! xxx
