Sasha Cook: Thai Pork Appetizer Wrap

Water is back and will be gone tomorrow. So today I have to cook more. Ai that's my routine now, chasing and counting days of water come and go. 

Anyway this morning got abit crazy an decided to cook this.

According to the recipe, you can also use chicken.  I think I cooked it for tad too long and it became abit crunchy and I added extra red chillies, chopped cilantro and abit of sugar. Try lah, quite nice to eat with lettuce. Something different from what I usually cook. Cook until blur edi, don't know what else to cook and i'm a very lazy cook. So this will do for today :p 

Fake Singer Needles

Brought my Singer Sewing machine to the Damansara Uptown branch just now for a "flu" check-up. Haha my sewing machine has on and off minor hiccups now and then. So the owner and his wife recommended that I should buy the golden needle because it is more durable and stay sharp longer than the silver ones.  Sharper needle gives your sewing a neater sewing effect. 

Upon showing me the difference, he highlighted to me that there are many fake Singer needles in the market. And he showed me a whole range of fake needles and I'm surprised there were so many and I bought some before from the sewing shop thinking that "who wanna sell fake Singer needles?". 

Pic: left top and bottom is original Singer needles. The left bottom is the golden needles that I bought. The rest are all fakes. Even the one next to the original silver needle is very much the same packaging but take a look closer an you will find out the difference. 

Can you spot the difference? 

Look at the S logo.

The left packet is showing the entire head and the head on the right packet got cut off? 

And notice there is a Singer button at the middle red strip? 

A packet of original Golden Singer needles is rm10. And you know.. Some of the smaller Singer outlets are also selling fakes. I bought some bobbins from a Singer outlet before and it gave me so many problems and I didn't know that the bobbin was giving me problem until I showed it to the ppl and they told me its fake although there were Singer Logo printed on it. 

Aih... This is crazy. Even needles have pirated ones nowadays. So don't think cheap and small stuff like this wont have pirated ones. It will affect your time and sewing outcome so look properly before buy ya :) 

Kidzania pictures

I was so blur. I thought I can pay and download the Kidzania pictures online. So I didn't bother to view my kids and their cousin's picture when we were on our way out. When I got home, I went to kidzania's FB page and I couldn't see any button. So I sent them a message asking for the link like some dunggu. Then my friend told me "you pay and print the picture, then come home you can download the soft copy". So I thought " okay....sigh. Our 2nd time and I didn't get to see my kids picture, again! "

Surprise surprise.. On Monday I received a surprise message from Kidzania and they asked me for my contact number so the person in charge can call me and assist me.

On Tuesday (today) the person in charge for the pictures called me and told me usually they only keep the pictures for 3 days only but because of school holiday they're a bit busy and my pictures are still there! So the arrangement was, to go to the counter, mention the person in charge's name, and they will escort me to the Sony shop to buy the pictures. I don't have to pay for the entrance fees. :D 

So I went at 12.45pm and I was out of the place by 1.20pm. I was given a tag and accompanied by a staff until I reach the Sony Shop. The process was so simple. You just gotto remember which slot you went to (morning or noon) and which "occupation" your kids went to. If your kid(s) can remember at which area that the photographer took their pic, that will be even faster.

So if you didn't have the time or forgot to buy your kids picture from Kidzania,don't  worry. You can just send them a message and tell them you want to buy the pictures.

It's abit pricey but we don't visit Kidzania so often. And JT was so cute in the outfit, So what the heck, just buy la!
