Fish - Ginger with coke and orange peel!

OMG - was watching this chinese food show with the ah jit chef showed a a dish using coke, ginger, orange peel, scallots to cook the fish. I wonder if i will try it one day. LOL~

You can have a look at what people use coke for. I am merely interested in the use of baking cake and chicken - pork is a little too much this time :)

Sweet treats for my treat

It has been a super long time since my last post. I have not been blogging as time did not permit any of these online rants. Right now I am hooked on interesting useful thoughts which I hope will be of use in the future.

1) using frozen jelly/pudding plus milk, all into the blender, one can make ice cream
2) using udon noodles + flour + powdered sugar = donuts. Mix all together and take 7 noodles out, hold it by the ends and twist it. Pressed it on the ends to make a circle. Deep fry it and u will have your donuts.

I am so gonna try it one day.

Till next time, ciaosu.

12th July 2011; Tuesday

Mr. Lee came along and asked us about the English training. Learnt that we should explore more options in the areas of comprehension - and the usage of literature text as the the passage due to it's nature being narrative and first person context, though the problem will be setting of the questions for the particular passage.

Yesterday was interesting as i covered the P1 music lessons. They had speech and drama classes, allowing the children to explore their vocal cords and expression - using their body, face and voice. The game "Simon says" will only work for P1 & P2 at max as the older they grow, children will grow bored of such a game, although using such a game will increase the interest of children whereby they learn skills like: "Simon says- walk with a grouchy expression" and kids will do a frustrated + angry look.

The day has not ended but yet i feel that my time is coming to a close and i hope that i will learn much more. Hopefully i will be able to get their teaching plans so that i will know what will be in-store for me when my praticum comes in the near future.

In need to perfect the Cha-Cha dance for Edgefield Dance Day this weekend (17th July). So many things to do yet i am still in Holiday mood- SIANZ...

Jaa~ mata Nehy~... ^.^

Teaching - A role model for the future of singapore

As my teaching stint comes to an end @ Edgefield primary, i can't help but feel alittle sad, and lost. I am not sure if this is the right choice but i do believe that i can touch lives and help those who need my help -even though i know that my efforts may seem futile to those who do not welcome it.

2 more weeks and i will be entering NIE. Hopefully i will be able to secure a hall with MC and everything will turn out fine the next year. Busy busy year.

Ciasu~ i need to write more - and in proper english! no more Singlish..LOL~

SHAW's Premiere: the NEX experience

This post was supposed to be uploaded last week but i was much to busy. Well Here goes!

I received and invitation to Shaw NEX for a movie screening "RABBIT HOLE" by Nicole Kidman. What caught me off guard was the tickets i received. It was Sliver! (i hoped it was GOLD though.. LOL~)

Still thinking that it was a normal theater, i headed to the upstairs and the person directed me to a special premiere lounge where we were ushered to our seats.

I loomed with anticipation as we troded down to cool looking place with big Brown chairs beconing me to "join them, to the dark side". It was cosy and had a feeling of HOME.

As there was a promotion for all food and drinks, we decided to get some snacks and drinks ( a 20% off!) Dear tried the Call service button and we were served like IMMEDIATELY! almost like the waiter was just waiting for us right behind. I started to take count as i was prety bored as the waiter repeated our orders. All seems dark and silent as we waited for trailers (which there waws none) to start. Took a candid shot when all was dark with FLASH! *Kids, dun try this EYE - WIDE - OPEN.*

As we are in into the 1st few minutes of the show, the nachos came!

I was pretty surprised that they had the above average standard as usually movies are only given cheese, not sour cream, avacado and salsa. Absolutely heaven, with the exception that a CRUDE weird stuck out awkwardly through for a whole 10 min of the show. It was only when our drink came that they rectified the problem. Such a mood spoiler but at elast i got to see my nachos and my mixed fruit drink.

As we were into three quarters of the show, the tiramisu was served. GREEN TEA! Weird but interesting. Gota try it with the berries and white chocolate. Hmm hmm.. very weird but interesting.

As for the show - nothing much should be said. Nicole Kidman being the actress and the director really brought out the show. Catch it @ premiere for a better experience - under the warmth of a Premiere Blanket. :)

Happy Dear and me exiting the lifetime experience place - SHAW NEX Premiere Lounge!

Thank you SHAW + NEX! :)

ESPARINA~

For those who are still not in the LOOP~ I am heavily in debt! 900K ++ to be exact, as i have recently bought a flat (executive condo) with dear. Think i gonna have to work till i die.. zzz or Die overworked which ever comes first.



SOLLUTION: SINGAPORE BIG SWEEP! (although does anybody know if there is a winning ticket @ all??)



Wadever teh case - i have still been going around gorging myself crazy and exercising to keep fit for the future of sg.. :P

till next time ~ (PS: sorry there aren't any mroe pics as i have been using x10 mini which is not bluetooth friendly.. zzz Foodie pics are now situated @ facebook.. GOME~ )

Time for a New Start At a differnt Direction -

I need a new job soon - cause i am so getting bored out of this one. Not that this job is not good or anything, but i am too comforatble in it.

I have been so busy (as usual) that people who see me are really amazing as they caught me perfectly - what have i been up to?

Hugging iNETS stations and bidding for stuff of the interent. LOL~

I may look stupid to you, but the vouchers that came with that pic was very much worth it. Just ask Desiree who took this wonderful picture for me :)

She went home with a $5 NTUC Voucher courtesy of me (from NETS of course). I won $50 worth of Crystal Jade, RObinson etc vouchers so it's a little token of appreciation.

As for the camera - i got a new hobby to fill in the hours of the day when i couldn't get to sleep. BIDDING! the camera and 32GB SD card i paid in total less than $100. Since i have been sleepless during the days (sometimes only an hour only), this was a good site to hang. PS: Mooky & Tai, this is plausible. LOL~ Next item up for grabs - IPAD (16GB WIFI+3G)! which an ass bought it for only $176.40 SGD. WTF ---

PS: I did not photoshop this - except paste it in MS Paint for you guys to see :)

NExt up - INDOCHINE @ Wisma. A place where great food and Great music + Good Drinks Fuse together. I always walked pass the palce where live music is being played on weekends but this is a first, being watched and gawked @ by passer-by stopping to listen to the melahonic voice crooned by the singer. We almost did left the place as the waiters thought we were drunkards - giving us the Drinks menu in the early evening @ 6pm. If not for the persistence of my friends, my pocket would not have burnt a hole. haha.

FISH - CHICKEN - SEAFOOD. I love salmon but not so much the ginger sauce that went with it. It was too much indonesian for me as i prefer my salmon the Westernized way - poached and grilled slightly on the sides esp on the skin. Ginger ain't my thing.

Next food Pick~ KIM GARY (Johore; City Square)

I just went there yesterday straight after work as my younger bro had to buy stuff from JB and he only went there once, thus i had to bring him to prevent him from being decapicated and left to beg on the streets limb-less as he depicted. LMAO. Wadever the case, it was an adventure to me to, as we took the wrong bus to the smaller Jusco which wasn't that small, except there wasn;t any movie theater. We played Time-Crisis 3 at $50cents and Daytona which i was totally OWNED. Try a real 4W and we shall see! :P

>>> POint to note: KIM GARY has really upz their stakes. The presentation is much better than before with new cutlery and better service. though i think much could be done about the food. Rmember peeps - bring me along during the weekdays and u get a whopping 15% off your meals!

and to follow up - i have been "Invited" (yes - free tickets people -_- ) for the national day parade and the YOG Opening ceremony.

Although there have been many reviews that said the NDP was better - i personally LOVED YOG more than NDP (other than the fact that i was being dragged to NDP, and drenched) The Fireworks and cheorography done was much more impressive than our NDP. Thumbs up to YOG!

NDP @ PADANG - & - YOG Opening Ceremony @ Marina Bay Sands.

And not to forget the lovely premiere to movies - artsy kinds to the awesome "everybody wanna watch" kind. An recent example would be Au Revoir Tapei - a movie which i caught this week (FREE) which has a nice story line and not much drama mama factor in it. Suitable for couples and NO GAYS please.. :P

Catch this @ Cathay (only i think) as i think it should be ending soon.

After the movie, i brought dear dear to Orche for Supper.

-------------------------------------------------------

OChre is a modern Italian restaurant in Orchard Central helmed by Chef Kentaro, whose culinary experience is from Lombardy. The risottos there are reputed to be among the best in the world. OChre offers risotto with oysters and saffron, a version with smoked duck and radicchio, and one which features Scamorza cheese.

------------------------------------------------------

Of course people, with this type of introduction, please be prepared to pay for about $30+ per person for a main course (1 dish only)

The price for the wonderful artsy patsy meal was as follows:

Cauliflower Soup: $10 (split to 2 bowls)

Seafood Linguine: $2

Ravioli: $26

Total: $ 65.25 (with 7% GST)

and of course, with my reputation as the VOUCHIE man, i brought along a $50 voucher from Kitchen language which i got from August man from their COntest.

The dining experince was a fullfilling one (both mentally and physically) which their vast array of wine collection - i would hope to bring my engineer friends to these classy places to UPZ their standard and teach them the art of fine dining of course. :)

The open kitchen concept was great too, with the exception of a hungry lady holding the bread blocking the full kitchen view. LOL~

and finally - (Oh Yeah~ Oh Yeah~ Oh YEah~ oh!!!)

Attended the Badminton Finals yesterday. (FREE) Tickets priced @ $30 each. Live games are really much better. If only i had seated near the entrance, then probably i would have a new racket. LOL~

My seat was great too - i saw Low Wei Sheng(MAS) and Kang Ji Wook (KOR).

It was pretty sad for malaysia as he had an injury, otherwise i am it would be a good fight as M'sia are always known for their shuttlers.

Wei Sheng's YOG Dreams Shattered By Ankle Injury

"The 17-year old, Malaysian junior ace was into the crucial moments of his semi-final match against Thailand's Pisit Poodchalat at the Indoor stadium here when he sprained his right ankle and was never in the right condition to continue his fight."

Still i enjoyed myself during the whole 3 hours and it was all worth it - :)

Time to knock off! Till next time~~ Jaa MAta nehy~
