Food .... during MCO (Malaysia's Lockdown Period)


29th April 2020 (Wednesday)

Today is the start  of Phase 4 (29th April to 12th May 2020) of Malaysia's MCO for the Covid-19.

We have been requested to stay at home and do whatever to our liking. JUST STAY AT HOME! So, these many weeks am doing exactly just that. Besides daily routine of house chores,  I've done gardening, crocheting, cooking, baking,  etc except exercising. 😊

Am sharing some photos below of food I made.  There were others but I didn't snap any photos.   A few may be my 1st attempt like this Basque Burnt Cheesecake.  The recipes were obtained via YouTube where they have many versions.

               Green Chicken Curry

Sweet Dinner Rolls

I overcame my fear of baking breads/buns with this plain sweet dinner rolls being the dough didn't raise during proofing. After many trials and error I managed to do it.  Next on my list will be to make different versions of the buns..


Among others are banana cake, fried cruellers ( yau cha kwai - not successful with it though), Sambal Udang Kering (dried prawns) and Agar-agar Pandan (Jelly).

Another 2 weeks to stay at home, you bet I am going to try making other stuff.

Thank you for reading 😊and have a wonderful day. 😚

Throwback - Crafted wirework earrings from 2019


21st April 2020 (Tuesday)

Below are photos of earrings I made in the year 2019 but still kept in my phone memory.  All earwires were made using non-tarnish artistic wires.  The briolettes are rose quartz, leopard jasper, cherry quartz, aventurine, tiger eyes.  I've also used Swarovski crystals and gold filled beads for the earrings.

When can I start wirework jewelry crafting again?  Soon ..... I hope.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful week ahead !😚

Hi peeps!  😊

March 2017- this is the date I last updated my blog on crochet beaded necklace and a beanie.

Where did I disappear to?  No where!  Am still in Malaysia though.  There were things that got pushed back especially my jewelry crafting and I embarked on a new hobby, that is crocheting handbags.  I've not totally forgotten on wirework crafting but need to motivate myself further to continue with it.

At this time of Covid-19, Malaysia is having a lockdown (MCO).  Its our 35th day of the lockdown today and all citizens of Malaysia has been requested to stay at home.  Its happening around the whole world, too.

Anyways, to keep it brief I will be updating my blog again with whatever photos I have saved in my handphone.

Till then, stay safe and take care everyone.  😚
