Hey guys!

Watched a really old movie over the weekend called Space Jam! Sounds familiar?

Space Jam is a 1996 mixed media film featuring basketball legend Michael Jordan and the cast of Looney Tunes! It's a very family friendly movie that stays classic through the years. Light hearted and amusing. 

I might have watched the movie as a child, but I cannot be 100% sure. I am certain that I had some of its toys and merchandise though, like a little collectible chip that probably came packaged with potato chips. Anyone remembers these things?!

Space Jam 2, starring LeBron James is slated for a 2021 release, so we thought we'll refresh our memories. 

For the uninitiated, Michael Jordan, though known for his basketball legacy, also played professional baseball. He later returned to playing pro basketball, where he still shone the brightest.

 Sylvester the cat is such a psycho cat...

I laughed at this scene - the characters saying that they are property of the Warners Brothers Inc. Lol!!

The mix of animation and conventional film is so fun! It's amusing to think about how they shot this with the green screen.

TRIVIA:

The 1996 original promotional website for Space Jam is still up :)

https://www.spacejam.com/ It is super cute!!! Check it out, it's a huge throwback. I love it.

Hello sweeties!

This post is just gonna be all about sweet things I've eaten for the past week. I don't think I can ever abstain from sugar...

First I baked more blackout brownies! By accident, I baked the Cakey versions instead of the Fudgey ones. But you know what? I find the Cakey versions to be closer to the Backyard baker brownies! Happy accident then. Made half a batch of plain ones and half a batch of nutella ones!

I enjoyed this delivery very much!! 10 scoops of ice cream (coconut, thai milk tea, chocolate from KOKO Ice Cream. )

Next, a huge dessert box from Twenty Grammes. My favourite is the lychee ball and white chocolate tart over at the left! Love the fruity burst! 

Thanks to my sister's friends, I have 口福。

Signing off now!

Love,

Yoooo! 

I was craving chicken nuggets, so I made some! This is what I call a 'go-getter' attitude, lol. 

Recipe difficulty: EASY

I used the 'chicken' setting on my airfryer which was 210 deg Celsius. 

I cooked it for 10 minutes, then flipped the pieces and let it cook for another 10 minutes until golden brown. You can do the same with your oven, just check regularly and make sure they don't burn.

It's done!!!!

I wasn't holding any high expectations, but to my surprise it tasted good!!! My parents enjoyed it, which is more of the shocker to me HAHA. I absolutely enjoyed the leftover crispy flakes too. I think some variations on this would be Cheese nuggets, Basil nuggets ? Might try air-frying some 'tofu' nuggets sometime as an experiment, I think the texture might be yummy.

And there you have it! I think this is healthier in the sense that it is less processed? Not sure what goes into a store-bought nugget, but I know exactly what went into this homemade one! :)

Bonus: Wrap your nugget with lettuce for extra health points! My nuggets were a lil too salty so this helped offset the saltiness. I will increase the spice level and lower the salt level next time!

Overall this was a really easy recipe haha! I mean, basically you're just cooking up small pieces of breaded chicken. Haha. 

Tip from my mum: Make batches ahead of time (including the panko coating part!) and freeze them in the fridge. Then you just need to toast them when you're hungry - same concept as frozen nuggets lol.

Hope you enjoy~

Love,

Hi lovelies!

I just made this cute rabbit town from a DIY kit and I wanted to share my experience with you!

I've always wanted to try my hand at such DIY kits but couldn't justify buying something that would have a 'one time use' and take up space in my room. 

However, recently I finally had a chance to try it out thanks to a National Day Giveaway from Blue Stone!

Unboxing!

I won the 'In A Happy Corner' box kit! There are also other versions like winter, countryside etc.

We get the all important guidebook, which will include all instructions and paper templates you need to cut out. The guidebook is in Chinese. 

Getting Started!

The first step was easy. I cut out the background from the guidebook and pasted it into the metal box.

Then we have to work with some batteries and wires.

The pieces are really tiny! Cut the paper and paste them on their wooden counterpart.

Some pieces are easy to assemble.

Some are challenging. Had a hard time trying to twist the wires to make this balcony... as you can see it's REKT! The wires are supposed to be neatly coiled like the middle one, but it was really difficult to manipulate the shape.

Creating the structure of the townhouse!

Some things are super tiny. You really need to concentrate to cut out small paper plates and tiny street signs.

I completed the overall structure! We even have cute lacy curtains for the windows. The wire goes into a hole in one of the walls.

 

It's time to make some furniture! Here's a tiny cabinet. The beads were so small. You can see I had a hard time dealing with them with the ugly glue stains I left behind.

A newspaper paper box, metal flower chairs, and handsome bookshelves! Little miniature items really please the eye!

Making a round table, cutting a table cloth and making 'cake' from cutting erasers. (The guidebook specified that the cakes be cut into 0.25cm pieces.) At this point I was very amazed by the person who made the guidebook and designed the entire kit. The details are incredible!

Finished product!

Welcome to Rabbit Town! There's a bakery, a florist, a cafe, as well as a study and private quarters with a balcony. 

The plants were tricky to make too... the beads are super small!!! But I really enjoyed setting up this box :) It took me about 5-6 hours in all to assemble this. Crafting is such a fun pastime!

One photo without light: 

And a photo with light. Ain't it pretty? :)

Made a short gif/video to show you the parts in closer detail!

A photo of it on the wooden rabbit stand! Aww. 

Tips:

• Take frequent breaks or you will suffer from neck and shoulder aches!
• Try to be neat with your glue. I have a lot of glue threads and leftover messy glue spots. Sometimes I use my own glue stick instead of the craft glue that is provided to minimise mess.
• You don't have to work for an entire stretch of time - I did this over two sessions when I had time!

I guess my hunch was right - I knew I would enjoy such a hobby! This could be the first of many projects.  Of course, this DIY kit took time, but don't all hobbies? As long it brings you joy, I don't see any harm in it (your wallet might think otherwise).

Once again, thanks to Blue Stone for selecting me as the winner! This post is not sponsored - I just wanted to share my experience with this DIY kit!

Hope you enjoyed this post! :)

Love,
Skye
