3rd anniversary giveaway!

So we turned 3 just a couple of days ago! (: Here's a belated giveaway of 3 of my favourite items! (: Head over to facebook here to participate in this giveaway! (: 

Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Blueberries. Streusel. Muffin. 

Great combination I must say!

I had 2 packets of fresh blueberries that I bought for my mum when she visited last week but she forgot to take them home! I could never have finished 2 packets of blueberries on my own so I sourced for recipes that needed blueberries that I could bake easily for the cell group as they were coming over on Friday night. 

I've never really been a fan of baking muffins and I'm not sure why.. maybe they're not as pretty as cupcakes! XD Nevertheless, this Blueberry Streusel Muffins changed my perspective. Firstly, they smell really really good. The cinnamon made my kitchen smell all Christmasy... something which I really like. Secondly, they're hardly any trouble.. Pretty simple and quick bake I must say! 

They're really moist inside and yet crunchy with the Streusel.. The blueberries also burst with lots of flavour! A delight to have! (: So click on for the full recipe! (: This will take between 30-45 minutes to bake and I'd rate it a difficulty level 2 out of 5!

I love our dining hall!

Over the weekend, the hubby and I managed to put up the totoro photos we got... Now, our dining hall is completed (: So happy! I also got a new table runner for our huge table.. now to decide between the table runner and the mats... XD

Our dining hall is complete + buying direct from Taobao!

My 3rd tabao stash arrived yesterday (like FINALLY). This batch has the most important component, the dining table (: Now our place is complete (: 

Our dining set makes me very happy! (: Now I can comfortably host 8 pax on this table! Much excitement! This set costs us less than 1k in all... a similar themed set would set us 2k in SG! 

I sold away 2 of our red chairs and in exchange, got 2 black ones.. 

I got prepared for Children's Day too! (: Super adorable notebooks.

Adorable erasers...

Little capsule pen...

Pencil cases...

Files...

A little ottoman for putting on shoes..

With good storage space!

A knife block...

A holder for cutlery after washing..

Peeka disappointed me this time round with the late delivery (as opposed to the usual 2 weeks) and the bad management they had in terms of my delivery. No one turned up during my scheduled delivery time and after much chasing, the goods reached me 1.5 hours later than the scheduled time... 

And with that, I'm pretty glad that I started shipping direct from Taobao on my own! My Mandarin is like crap but I managed to liaise with the sellers and make my navigation around the website... Here are some of the stuff I got this time round.. Can't wait for the items to reach me soon! (: 

   

A bag that was on super sale from 285 yuan to 23 yuan! A polka dotted thermal food container..

A HK thermal food container for Shayna..

   

A top for only 5+ when H&M retails it for 19.90! A pretty pink dress...

A pretty printed dress...

   

Tees for work...

A skirt (:

A clock...

Stickers for my students at 1/3 the price I pay in SG!

I'm very excited for the items to reach us soon! (: 

Simple English Muffins

I love English Muffins. I often buy them from Marks & Spencer and have them with patty. When I saw this recipe by Neo, I just had to bake them! (: Little did I know, they're just really really simple! So this recipe takes bout 20 minutes to prepare and proofing takes 2 hours... and cooking it takes 15 minutes. That's easy as it gets.. and it can be done without an oven!!! 

Lovely English muffins! (: 

I had mine with a Ramly burger chicken patty and an poached egg.. 

I'd rate this recipe a difficulty level 2 out of 5 (:
