Diary of my cooking recipies

22/7/10 Thursday Rain

Dear diary,

Sometimes, i like to daydream about recipes but im just too lazy to cook... haha

Hence for the last few days i've been cooking for my own lunch.. these are my delicious creations:

1) french loaf + scrambled eggs + tomatoes ( I cooked this on monday 19/7/10)
first, i buttered the top of the french loaf and re-heat the bread in the microwave for 30 seconds. The butter melted instantly and the smell was so inviting.. yum yum.. Then i cracked 2 eggs and scrambled em (using a pan and spatula, obviously). Then i added in some tomatoes. When i'm done, i carefully laid em across my french loaf and voila!! my lunch is ready to be devoured.



2) CNY leftover glutinous cakes aka 年糕 (today's lunch)
Yes, u read this correctly, CNY LEFTOVERS. haha.. but the cakes were stored nicely in the freezer so yeah... My mom bought some purple sweet potatoes so i was inspired to fry the nian gaoS... First, i cracked an egg, pour some flour and mix em with some water. Making sure the mixture is not too watery nor too sticky, if not it would be hard to fry. Then i cut the sweet potatoes into slices and sandwich one thin slice of nian gao with sweet potatoes. (It looks like a weird sandwich hahaha). After that i dip the sweet-potato-nian-gao-sweet-potato sandwich into the mixture and put it gently onto the pan and watch it fried. I flipped it multiple times to ensure the sweet potatoes are soft. When it turns golden brown, i put it on a plate and ready to be served. mhmm hmm... Its best to eat when its crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. The glutinuous rice cake just melted in my mouth.. uh-huh... (gosh.. this is really fattening for lunch.. but i only ate a few pieces ok? and drink lots of water... )




so yeah...



best of both worlds

I really believe that i'm the perfect combination of my mom and dad:

1) i have doble eyelid for my left eye while i have single for my right
my mom has double eyelids for both of her eyes; my dad has single eyelids.

2) i have 1 dimple
my mom has while my dad doesnt have.

3) im taller than my mom but shorter than my dad. =)

4) i like to do things last minute like my dad

5) im hot tempered like my mom.

6) my zodiac is goat, like my dad.

7) I like to shop like there's no tomorrow, like my mom.

8) my mom is really artistic while my dad is more scientific ( i guess accountant is considered scientific? he can draw maps though...) im ok with drawings... so i guess im in the middle?

9) my mom and dad are pretty organized... i'm completely opposite. my room is constantly messy so i gues i didnt inherit their genes huh...

10) my mom is kinda outgoing, used to go disco (during the 80s laaaa) while my dad is quiet and cool... so i guess im in between...

i wonder what would my kids be like next time hahahah....

random

sometimes when im alone in my room, i would emo while hugging my doggie... :(

i know.. i have awesome parents, great friends and a superb bf but still...

sometimes i feel lonely.. maybe its because im the only child and i'm always trying hard to be accepted among peers... or maybe i'm too dependent on everyone... so when i'm alone i feel detached...

i dunno... maybe its time for self-reflection.. mayb i've been ignoring some of my best friends.. its time to mend the broken ties. yes, i thnk i should make the 1st move to talk to them. (them as in my best frens, nt the 2 ******)

wish me luck then

Pre-birthday celebration

09.07.10 Chilli's

Today is my pre bday celebration at 1u's Chilli's. Supposingly its a two-person romantic date manatau my bee TRICKED me, AGAIN!

He came late to fetch me, wasted >15min searching for parking, quequed for awhile to get table and out of the sudden, all my friends appeared! SURPRISE haha...

after makan, we went to bowling centre for pool and played da football thingy...

overall it was a fun night with my bee and my best pals :D

*sorry for the rush post, am having finals haha*

Finally!!!

Wow, its been a long time since i last blogged.. The last one was like in April when i first started sem 3, now im preparing for finals !!! *breathe*

Alot of things happened since then: dramas, conflicts, unexpected events and so on. Sem 3 is like a roller coaster ride. One moment you are plunging down from few hundred meters high and going through 360 degrees loops, the next thing you know, you are reaching the end.

Life hasn't been easy in sem 3. There are alot of dramas in my class, within my group (for group assignments) as well. If i were to blog it out, it would be endless and some people will terasa and probably complain to blogspot that my blog is a "hate site". haha. To sum it all, I'm grateful that me and my good friends: eliza, rox and sean had been almost in the same group since sem 1 and we never fight against each other. Even though we might complain: "Sean is too square (oops sean, we still love you, abit); "eliza, stop drinking coffee!", "rox, you are skinny enough, stop losing weight!" but at the end of the day, we still able to submit our assignments nice and efficient at the end of the day.

Me and eliza also realized that we are the coolest + awesome-est people in class. Reasons:
1. we are not as stressed out as the others even though we had "extra" assignments.
2. we are happy and proud with ourselves to give solutions when something bad happened. We feel efficient :D
3. We didnt ponteng class just to finish assignmnet
4. we didnt really complain about how FML our lives is. In fact, we enjoy every single moment! We learn to submit our work on time, and still got time to chil-lax at the same time and appreciate life :D hooray to us

Overall we have around 13+ assignmnets to submit throughtout sem 3. For the past few weeks, we had to hand in several assignmnets/ presentations on the same day, do filming, editing and so on. Luckily we filmed our video last month so we got around 2 weeks for editing. Talking about efficiency eh?? In the end, our video is one of the two videos that our lecturer like the most. I won't say our video is the best but we put a lot of effort in it (at least some of us did) and the end product is satisfying. It won't be a success without my bee's help. =) he helped us to touch up, fix the audio and render the video on his ultimate G.A.W.D computer .. that's why i love you, bee.. muacks muacks..

Well, in sem 3 i also encountered some back-stabbing. Haiz... i dunno la.. maybe it's human nature (kot) to back stab, or is it just us girls? Anyway, its not a pleasant feeling when you know someone is talking behind your back even though you keep telling yourself to ignore it. Thank god i didnt fall into the footsteps of others like calling each other b**ch on facebook and bla bla bla. Of course, im upset by it but thanks to my bee and faith in my religion, im able to overcome it laaaaaa... Maybe i really did something wrong ke... *shrugs*

Well, the good things are, as i mentioned before, true friendship and relationship would not succumb to the pressure of gossips and conflicts. Once again, thanks to my friends and my bee.


Moving on, i also decided to join St. John Ambulance Adults (Pudu Combined Adults division) and also took part in the recent National Competition. It feels awesome to be able to wear the smart uniform again and go to Kelly Clarkson concert duty hehe... for free !!! ok, back to topic, the national comp was on the 5th and 6th of June. Prior to that, we had training every sun, sometimes sat at cheras hq. It was a fun experience because i get to learn so many new things. In the end, we won first in the home nursing category. It was unbelievable and enexpected! i remember sitting at the hall waiting for the results. When the fella announced " home nursing champ: Wilayah Persekutuan!" me and my team mates were stunned! seriously, stunned for a few seconds until my leader started standing up and we followed her to accept the trophies. :)

It was a relief actually even though we didnt really think of winning anything but it feels good to win something.. haha (im being lame). Next year, ima joining again with my best pals zi theng and chin yee. hopefully, we could achieve something. *cross fingers*



So, this is pretty much what happened between april and july. Thank god my mid term results didnt suck. Now time to put effort in finals, hoping to get gpa 4.0 and get the tertiary merit scholarship. wish me luck , folks :D
