Colorstrology

I learnt about something interesting today. It is about COLORSTROLOGY by Michele Bernhardt.

"It is important to understand that your birth color and your favorite color may or may not be one in the same. Your birth color is designed to honor the real you. Based on both metaphysical properties and from a spiritual point of view, the intention of this color is to balance all the different parts of who you are. A favourite color can change and often does as you grow and evolve. It can be influenced by outside stimuli and opinion. Your birth color is a constant." -- by Michele Bernhardt.

It is cool, right? If you are curious and interested as well, find out here :)

Forgive and forget

The incident reminds me of several histories that I would like to forget and forgive but so sorry... I can't!

23 April 2011 -- Yesterday, a colleague and I was discuss about this issue again. She said, "People did something evil to me I'll forgive them but I just can't get back to the relationship like before. Why will I trying to stay away from them?"

Well, as a listener, I commented, "Belum maafkan lagi la tu~"

She defended heself, "No! Normally immediately after the incident I already forgive them. But I just need to always remind myself to be careful with these people, make sure I wont fall into their traps anymore. But sometimes I do feeling disgusting when I see them?"

Hmm... from the perspective of a listener, I shared, "It is so obvious from your words, you haven't forgive them. Or should I say... bak kata pepatah, you forgive but you do not forget?"

 

Then, she diagnosed, "Actually, the phrase should be forgive and forget. When somebody says he/she forgive but not forget meaning belum maafkan lagi lah sebenarnya."

 

After a long silent, she finally realised and said, "Yes, may be you are right.... but what should I do? I really want to forgive them and get back to the relationship like before... ... Macam mane nie?"

 

LOL~ the scenario sounds familiar? This is life and how complicated our mind and heart are :D They just always conflict with each other...

奶油盐烧

今天看《好吃! HoChiak!》介绍一间在Hartamas的韩日烧烤(店主解说为带到日本的韩国烧烤)店。觉得满特别。尤其是奶油盐烧。有机会一定要做做看!

做法:
1. Salmon鱼柳及scallops用盐及胡椒粉抓一抓。
2. 加入奶油用锡箔纸包好，烧4-5分钟。
3. 带锡箔纸鼓起后，打开浇上几滴柠檬汁，沾上酱料吃。

酱料: mirin, sake, apple and lemon juice + 芝麻

* 另有厚牛肉片沾上此酱料做BBQ，好像好好吃~

New Year... HUAT a~

Wanted to make this 发糕 for a long time already. Finally get into it. Today, I use this recipe. Just to finish off the flour bought months ago. At the same time, the description by the author "这个食谱做出来的发糕是很松软的，不似外面卖的硬硬的" really attracts me. I used 100% tangerin(卢柑 ) juice as substitute of water to give the colour and flavour. They turn out in surprisingly nice golden colour but later turn into golden brown due to oxydization. I feel it is too moist and a bit hard when touched. Not fluffy as imagined. The texture just like my Silly Coffee Moist Cake. The Huat Kweh does not smell very nice. Just strong smell of flour. About the taste... I have not try it. Will descript it after I have tasted on 4th Feb 2011.
The dough should be rather sticky. I thought it should be watery and runny. LOL~ It makes 4 big ones....

OMG! It is super duper sweet! May be I used the tangerin juice. It is sweet and I still add in sugar. However, some feel it is ok and nice but I don't really like it.

These and this would be some more original Huat Kweh recipes that I am going to try.

Silly Steamed Coffee Moist Cake

This is my first ever post about cooking experience. When I have decided to make a "steamed chocolate moist cake" I found a few recipes from the internet. Finally, I came out with my own modified recipe and tried it out just now. I took about 2 hours from preparation to fill up my tummy :D It taste soft and a bit too oily. Athough it doesn't taste like chocolate moist cake, neither its texture. The smell of peanut is too strong. However, it is overall quite satisfying.

The Ingredients:

My Recipe:
The mixture does not give any coffee fragrant. Thus, I have decided to add in the chocolate chips that I bought 2 months ago during clearance sale. It turned out into something that I really love :) Moccha flavour? Lol~
Remarks:
1. I used peanut cooking oil in my kitchen.
2. Egg used in this experiment is a Grade B egg.
3. I used the leftover HL milk in my freezer.
4. I used Anchor brand flour, got handy from my freezer.
5. I was lazy to do my shopping. Thus, I just used the 3 in 1 premixed Nescafe coffee powder in the kitchen. I actually used more than 30 grams but it does not give much flavour.
6. I could not find my baking powder so I used soda bicarbonate. If you have both, can add both.
* It did not expand much after steam. So, I think can fill the container to nearly full instead of half.

Step by step:
How would I improve it?
- use butter or margerine instead of peanut cooking oil
- strengthen the flavour (use cocoa powder or cooking chocolate or add some vanilla essence)
- use cake flour instead of common flour
* try to steam one without covering with aluminium foil

昨天 今天

常言道:"每一天都要重新出发。"
我认为，这句话只有在挫败面前才最实用。今天遇到挫折，明天就要重新出发！但很多事情是得有持之以恒的努力才能成功~ 所以，每一天不可能是全新的一天。没有昨天，就不会有今天....

“上帝叫我來，我就來了。”

簡世明老師是《老師的工作是感動孩子》的主角。作者不详。簡世明就讀台中一中時，叛逆不認真讀書，大學考壞了。父親為了10個小孩的教育，填志願時幫他填公費的師範學院，他被迫到心中「鳥不生蛋」的台東唸書，心裡堆了悶氣，意味以後要當無聊的老師。

曾经，我也有这种想法。在家里无法负担的情况下，母亲软硬兼施势必要我申请进入唯一免学费的學院-- 師範。教育的工作太伟大了，那份责任我自叹担当不起。我的志愿不过是当个模特儿或空姐或演员。存点钱再做点小生意过着写意的生活。

庆幸，我天生有既来之，则安之的本能。很快的(大概九个月) 我便说服自己，调整好心情，认真的学习如何做个好老师。那年，我告诉自己: “教育是神圣的, 千万不能误人子弟…. 既来之，则安之…. 我或许少尚缺了一些热忱，但若能做到敬业乐业我已心满意足。至少以后的日子就不会走得那么苦… …” 虽然出发点是自私的，但经过五年半的琢磨，我改变了很多。虽说不至于完美，但我已问心无愧。

话说那位简老师后来怎么变成一位受学生们爱戴的好老师。他在台東唸書時遭遇車禍，被送到台東基督教醫院，外籍醫生幫他看診，簡世明隨口問: “為什麼飄洋過海到台灣來？” 外籍醫生回答: “上帝叫我來，我就來了。” 這個輕鬆的答案震懾了他，讓他記住了。原來唯有奉獻，才能得到心中真正的自由，唯有奉獻，才能看到生命的美好，唯有奉獻，才能看到孩子身上的無限奇蹟。他的付出，學生也都記得。

很多时候，我们总说:“冥冥中早有安排”、友族也有句谚语: “kita hanya bisa merancang tetapi Tuhan yang akan menentukannya”很多事情的发生，我们根本弄不清为什么会走这条路。是上天的安排。像牧师说的: “上帝不会白白浪费你每一个经历。”我深信每一个安排都有其目的。就像下棋或玩任何游戏一样，每一步都是策略的一部分，都有理由和动机。

无论你是从事什么行业，不管是否是你最初的梦想。从现在起，请让它来造就你将来的梦想。让我们一起翱翔吧！
