A surprise gift for Ethan

There is this girl. I know her since 2012. I remember her dropping by my mother’s place in Melaka during Chinese New Year to pass me some of her delicious homemade cookies. We are better acquainted over time as we meet often during blogging events.

She is also the person behind this amazing Instagram account with such massive followers: @sycookies

She takes beautiful pictures of food and she works extremely well with flat lay shots.

Several days ago she buzzed me asking my schedule to see if we have any events in common as she bought a belated birthday gift for Ethan.

This is her, working on the mooncake presentation so we can get a good shot. Just wait for her to upload this mooncake shoot onto her instagram account as she can really create magic with her pictures. 

We met today and this crazy girl passed us this:Kids slider

A Kids Swayer! 

We were expecting chocolates or something but this is so huge it doesn’t fit in my bag :-| Needless to say, Ethan was overjoyed to receive it. 

Kids swayerThe first thing the boys did was to unbox it.

The swayer comes with my favourite LADYBUG! If you don’t know me yet, let me tell you that I super love ladybugs. Many of my crafts revolve around this amazing insect <3

    The difference between a professional food blogger and a wannabe food blogger (me). I will never be able to be or even look so serious in arranging for a nice food shot.

    Also, I have never seen that type of swayer leh… Do a video of how Ethan operates it!
