Dead & gone, hot & cold.

Hey guys, did you notice the title of this post actually represents two different songs? (Dead and gone by Justin Timberlake and T.I, Hot and cold by Katy Perry) In case if you're wondering, well, I haven't been updating my blog for literally a month and POP, Here I am, I'm back once again. So TA-DA, there goes the title. Lame? MEH? Hmm.. okay nevermind.

So, just a spontaneous and quick update here. "How are you sapphy?", "I'm fine thanks. Still alive, I'm grateful and thankful for it." lewl.
Life in college have been quite hectic and productive lately, and it is probably one of the reasons why I stopped blogging for a while. Handing in assignments almost every week is no fun and seriously I need a god damn break, I freaking mean it. Have some mercy on me and my classmates man, don't torture us degree student. Just kidding. LOL. Anyway, classes this week had been pretty productive. I went out with my classmates after class and we had lunch, watched movie, did some shopping as usual. I'm pretty content with my life the way it is now and it is no doubt that my current life is way better and peaceful than the previous one. However, I still need to be strong and conquer my fears and insecurities. There are plenty of things ahead of me and I hope I have enough strength to go through all that. Sincerely.

Also, an instant update about my Valentines day and Chinese New Year. Marc surprised me with a bouquet of pink roses along with Charles & Keith purse. I was quite excited and happy when I received the gifts. Whereby my gift for Marc was self-baked chicken pot pie and a classic grey tie from Padini. We both sorta enjoyed our Valentines day together. Overall, it was a simple and good celebration, I truly enjoyed it.


My Chinese New Year was pretty ordinary and decent. I remember sending my elder brother off to KLIA on the 2nd day of CNY was quite depressing. Me and my family got emotional because we knew it's gonna be different without him here at home. However, it was for the best and I hope he's gonna do well in UK. Speaking of my elder bro, yes, I do miss him a lot even though sometimes we disagree on most things and argue. He's still the best brother in my heart and no one could ever replace him. 
*clears throat* Okay now back to the CNY topic. So overall what I enjoyed most during CNY was the delicious food and time spent with family and relatives. Me and my relatives don't really communicate much due to the language barrier and mentality. Usually, I have to converse with them in Cantonese and Hokkien which I totally sucked at. Despite that, we still enjoyed the quality time together because it's a once in a while thing, we don't really get that often. So, that's about it for my awesome Chinese New Year.

....And that's the end of my "Dead & Gone, Hot & Cold" post....
Have a lovely Saturday, my fellow readers!

My first chicken pot pie

So, Valentines day was just around the corner. I decided to get outta my comfort zone and try to make something new and different for my boyfriend, as well as the family. (Family needs some love on Valentines too! haha)

To bake a chicken pot pie requires a lot of patience, time, and effort. I remember spending literally 2 days just to create the perfect pie crust. Overall, I'd say it was a success based on my family and boyfie's reviews and comments. They liked the taste of the inner ingredients, however the pie crusts need some improvements because it was a little hard and not-so-crunchy. But hey, it's my first attempt folks! I'm so proud of myself for the unexpected outcome! Pretty good for the first time huh. heh. 
Some of my friends asked me, "where did you learn to bake that?". Well, just in case if you're wondering if I have some experience in baking and such. Yes, I have a little but not professional! I basically get all the recipes from Google and YouTube, and I started baking due to my interest and the influences from my respective mum. 

Also, if you're wondering which website I got the recipe from, there you go.


Have a good day lovelies! x
