Baby Mischa is already 10 months old! She had been rather cranky the past few days with running nose and slight cough. Guess what? She's teething again...this is th 7th teeth till date.


Cute little toothy girl:




She can pull herself up pretty steadily now. And she can finally CRAWL!!!! Yay!!! Kinda late.but better than never. Now i always leave her on the mat/floor and she crawl freely around the house, chasing after balls and her Gor Gor..LOL

Lately I was inspired by some of the mummies from the SMH baking thread. They make really nice looking (taste I dun know, but they sure look mouth-watering enough!) moonies.

I am not a mooncake person, but I just want to give it a try and make moonies from scratch. The easiest mooncakes to make for beginners are the snowskin mooncakes cos they require no baking and are less time consuming.

I only make the snowskin from scratch, but not the lotus paste though - my 'kungfu' not there yet.
So these are my works - all in HELLO KITTY mould:

1st attempt:
Red Wine lotus paste with vanilla flavoured snowskin. Followed the recipe given but a tad too soft, but taste is ok.


Imprint not very clear cos i used the wrong mould


Inside showing the filling - red wine paste with mashmallow - yum yum


2nd attempt today:

I used the silicone bakeware and these moonies came out more defined. Love the rich colour although my hb said it looked scary!

I am still hoping to find a proper mould for making mooncakes and for collection as well. But its probably too late for this year. Maybe can keep for the following years. If anyone knows whereI can get this, pls buzz me!

My Dream HK Mooncake mould:

Last night hb and I brought our 2 kiddos to the Chinese Garden! Hahhaa all because of me - i kept bugging hubby to go with me...Becos the festival is featuring Hello Kitty & Friends!

The entrance fees were expensive! And it started to pour after a while...kinda spoilt our moods but luckily we were almost done with the phototaking and all.

There are free lanterns for redemption with carpark coupons and child ticket. I got myself 2 HK lanterns to add into my collection.


The larger than life sized Lantern sculptures are such cuties...

Recently i re-started my Hello Kitty (HK in short) collection again cos i chanced upon a HK Fans' discussion forum and that rekindled my love for HK

I actually had my 1st Hello kitty merchandise when I was about 6 years old. It was a full body HK sling bag which my mum bought for me. I should be able to find the photo and will post it here :)

To my astonishment, there are 1001 'Kittified' items...the favourite in my list are the cooking ware, lunch boxes and accessories...they are all too cute!!!

Here's sharing my loots for the week:


From Daiso:
-HK favour bags
-HK cups
-HK bowls
-HK mirror
-HK mugs

From Kai Kai Gifts:
-HK ice cube cum jelly mould (one of my favourite splurge!)
-HK egg mould
-HK cookier/ vege cutter
-HK onigiri mould
-HK silicone cake mould (this is really a splurge!)

That's all for now...kekekekeke..
