BPAYis having a competition and you could win $3000 😀 I sure could use $3000 so I’ll show you my entry in a little bit!

What is BPAY?

BPAY is a payment method that banks use to allow you to pay bills quickly and easily without having to deal with many separate companies. For example I can now pay my water, electricity, rent, phone etc bill from internet banking through BPAY in about 10 minutes rather than the long boring task this used to be 15 years ago when you actually had to go to each place to pay. Therefore I can now spend more time filming nail art tutorials, yay!

About the competition!

Everyone loves things short and sweet. They put smiles on faces and give us a warm glow inside. So we at BPAY figured if we could take a long arduous task like queuing at the post office to pay a bill and make it a short and sweet process online, the world would be a better place. And so we did.

To enter, you need to write either:

1. A recipe

2. Give a film synopsis

3. Pen a love poem

4. Write a short fiction

BUT the catch is you need to do that all in 120 characters or less.I decided that I would write one of my favorite quick, easy, lazy fudge recipes. It takes about 5 minutes to make and is pretty much impossible to screw up! This is what I came up with…

Put butter, 1pack marshmallows+block choc in container. Nuke 30sec, cool in fridge, cut, STUFF FACE WITH FUDGE!

111 characters, oh yeah 9 characters to spare=champion!

So want to see the long version of it?

Marshmallow Fudge Recipe

What you need:

  • 1 packet of marshmallows
  • 1 block of chocolate
  • Some butter, around a tablespoon
  • Microwave proof container

You can use margarine or real butter, I didn’t want to waste the expensive margarine so I used cheap block butter.

So cut off a slice of butter.

And stick it into the microwave safe container.

So this is what you should have…

Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mine is 1100w so if yours is different please adjust the time.

Marshmallow Fudge Recipe

Use a spoon to mix it all up, the marshmallow should be liquid and sticky. Don’t worry if the rest of the ingredients are still solid because the marshmallow will melt them nice and slowly.

Mix until it looks like this:

If it gets hard before it’s combined just put back in the microwave for another 10 seconds and remix.

You want to end up with something like this…

Cool the whole thing in the fridge until it’s hard again.

New iPhone 4 Decoden Knitting Queen

I’ve been waiting for my phone contract to end for ages so I could upgrade and when I finally got my new phone the first thing I did was of course try to plan out some deco for it!

Iphone Deco

Lucky for me SuperKawaiiMama had just been on a shopping spree in Singapore with Val from Dweam and they’d brought me back some new Swarovski crystals so I had a lot to play with 😀

The first thing I did was lay down protective contact and completely encase the phone to avoid any stray glue problems.

Iphone Deco

I experimented with placement and the kind of charms. I really wanted to use the silver charm which James bought me a few years ago because I’ve been doing so much knitting lately XD

Iphone Deco

I finalised my design and did a small test run. This time I decided to go for something flush to the phone rather than a heavy case like last time. I went for a design that was less random because it suited the shape of the phone more.

Iphone Deco

Then it was time for gluing ^_^ I did the edges first and then using a ruler to make sure it was even and straight laid down a foundation row.

Iphone Deco

Progress…

Iphone Deco

After the basics it was time to fill in the middle areas.

Iphone Deco

And finished!

Iphone Deco

Cut off the extra masking contact and that’s it!

Iphone Deco

I haven’t decided if I’ll keep this design yet as it’s not my favorite of the designs I’ve had in the past but if I decide to change it will be as easy as peeling off the contact 😀

Iphone Deco

If I do end up doing it again I’m definitely using the knitting queen charm again XD

Happy weekend!

Just popping in quickly to wish you all an awesome weekend!

A gigantic boring project for work has finally finished so I’m off to celebrate this weekend by catching up with old friends and relaxing! I’ve been working so much on this project (wont bore with the details because it’s boring just thinking about it haha) but it’s a massive load off to reach this milestone 😀 being done with it also means that I’ll have more time to write better posts so yay that! But first for the rest of this weekend I plan to relax and do absolutely nothing!

Its going to be awesome! What have you all got planned?
