Side story: My dog P loves plush toys. He likes to play with his plush toys from time to time to amuse himself. Sometimes he likes to play rough with his plush toys; sometimes he likes to carry them from room to room and sometimes he likes to chew them. He is one plush toys lover but also a destroyer. That’s okay to me as long as he is having fun. I just need to buy new toys in order to keep up with him.
So yesterday after seeing him ripped open an elephant plushie, I went online shopping for new toys. I came to a website called Funny Fur. There were some cute plushies that caught my attention. The site fills with many unique plushies such as these ones: (They are “High Life” plushies but so funny and adorable in my human eyes).

Crave for Cupcakes

After a friend who recently baked some cupcakes I was tempted to bake some of my own. So I began to look for some recipes. When I think of making cupcakes, I automatically would think of Martha Stewart. So I checked out her website and found some recipes. This would be my first time to make cupcake so I sort out the difficulty recipes and chose some easy to follow ones.
I know cupcakes usually have icing on them. Buttercream? Yes, I love to eat buttercream so I decided to make some buttercream icing. Banana? Yes, I love banana so I also decided to make banana flavoured cupcakes. In the end, I made the buttercream on my own by following the recipe and I bought a banana muffin mix from the supermarket.
The making procedure wasn’t too hard. I got help from my darling and we managed to baked a few cupcakes. The cupcakes came out pretty nice and even sized. The buttercream icing turned out sweet and smooth. We experimented and played around with the icing using cake decorating tips.
Finally, here are the end results.
Boo! Happy Halloween! There is one cupcake with a little “Halloween” touch too. Here’s a closer look of the cupcake. Q. What is it?
A: It’s a “Brain”.

I’m back. Recently I spent a whole month over in HK. This long overdue trip was my first holiday for over two years. I had a great time catching up with my family members and friends but also got to know baby J. It has been a wonderful time but hectic. I won’t be taking any long trip soon. I am drained from this trip.
Thrill Ride on Sea to Sky
Posted by: jubeedog on: September 11, 2009
I always imagine myself riding a motorcycle on the Sea to Sky Highway. It may not sound adventurous to some riders, but It is a big goal for me as a new rider. I just started riding again in this summer, and throughout the summer I have been riding regularly. Before I take on the hwy, I need to know if I would be ready to go for higher speeds. In August, I felt that I am ready to taste the hwy. I rode my bike onto Sea to Sky highway 3 times and they were all group riding. Having ridden in a group, I felt more confident and fun.
Sea to Sky hwy is a scenic drive. One side is the ocean, and the other side are rocky mountains. It has been undergoing an improvement project for the Winter Olympic 2010, which includes straightening, widening and improving sightlines. Althought the improvement has eliminated serveral sharp curves, there are still many curves, which sport riders like.
Riding on the hwy gave me great pleasure. My first ride on the hwy was the most nervous. The adrenaline rushes through my veins at every curve. Am I too slow or too fast? Did I set up properly when entering the curve? At fast speeds, some curves did catch me off guard. As I rode on, the riding experience got better; I could find my comfortable speed level, though at some points there are vehicles were still blowing by me like I’m standing still.But the second and third rides felt lot easier and more relaxing. I managed to beat my previous top speed riding on the same hwy, and I even managed to take a few peeks towards the ocean to enjoy the views. I now fully understand why the Sea to Sky hwy is notable for scenic drives in BC.
A little fact of the Sea to Sky Highway: it is the name given to a section of Highway 99, north of Vancouver, beginning at Horseshoe Bay and to the north past Lions Bay, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. Now it has 4 lane sections with scenic passes for both the Pacific Ocean and rugged mountain peaks.
Fortune Cookie Brings A Smile

A fortune cookie is a crispy Asian American cookie usually made of flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a “fortune” wrapped inside. It is usually served with Chinese food in Chinese restaurant. Nowadays, there are not many Chinese restaurants in my area that serve fortune cookie. But today I am surprised to receive one fortune cookie after a nice meal. Then, I remember how much fun fortune cookies were when I was a kid. However, the fun of cracking open a fortune cookie still exists. Although I am not too fond of the taste of the hard cookie, I still love to see what my fortune says. Sometimes the fortunes are great, sometimes they are funny and sometimes they are nonsense. The most important thing is that my friends and I have a great time passing them around and share what their fortunes are. It always put a smile on our faces!

First Bike Service
Posted by: jubeedog on: September 1, 2009
I rode over 1000km on my bike. When the odometer reached 1000km, the service indicator lit up on the digital display, which indicates the next service is due. In another word my bike has been broken in and is ready for its first service. Yeah, I was so looking forward to this day.
The first service includes lubricating the drive chain, changing of engine oil and engine oil filter. I think these are the basic stuff. However I know nothing about it, so I need to rely on the mechanic’s expertise. However, he is not cheap: $98 per hour for shop labour rate. This is no joke. Sigh.
I know warranty is a good thing, and I always take everything to the dealership. But that is one pricey labour rate. Should I stick with the dealership? Well, thank goodness that the bike’s next service is when the odometer reaches 12000km. I will think about that later.
My Moo
Posted by: jubeedog on: August 27, 2009
I am so excited that my Moo cards has arrived in the mail today. Once I opened up the parcel, the cards were neatly stuffed in a hard white plastic box. The cards are nicely processed in offset printing. The images are amazingly colorful and smooth. Together with the cards, I also bought a mini card case that made with velvet. I can easily put 10 cards in it and carry with me. The rest will store safely in the white box on my desk. And Tigress (the tiger) will guard them when I am away from my desk.
By the way, Tigress, you look good in the picture.

Moo Mini Cards
Posted by: jubeedog on: August 11, 2009
I have heard of Moo mini cards sometimes ago, but I didn’t order any until now because I just used up all my personalized gift card recently. I read some good reviews about Moo and they are becoming popular, so why not give it a try?
The Moo website has easy instruction. Upload photos of your choice directly to the Moo server or ask Moo to access your Flickr account and pull out the photos you like. Then, you crop, place the image, and type out the things you want on the back…such as name, phone number or the URL etc. You pay online and soon the cards will arrive in your mailbox. It’s that simple. 
Moo has its own set of photos to choose from as well. They are unique and beautiful. Another thing I like about it is that I can choose assortment of photos in one set, which has 100 cards (USD19.99). Then, you have great variety and would not be boring when you give them out.
I ordered two sets and a soft card holder that holds up to 12 mini cards. These Moo cards are awesome! A great alternative to the average business card. Love these little cards!
