hand-plant ~ spring onions



hey.. see the difference? Before and after.. This is my spring onion I planted in front of my flat. It grows rapidly within a week plus.. I guess is because of the lovely spring that make it survive well. My friend gave me a tip to make sure the spring onion can continuous growing well ~ which is I have to cut off part of the spring onion. So few days later, this cut off part will be in my dish, hehe.

I'm little gardener oooo... :)

Vino Chef...


On Saturday, I cycled to Otago Farmer morning market to get my red cod fish and as usual my toufu. I happened to see an half cut pumpkin just sold with NZ$1. I never cook pumpkin here. Suddenly think of eating mum's cook ~ the pumpkin with heibi (udang kering).

So here is the pumpkin & udang kering I had for my saturday lunch... you know what..I called back on Saturday afternoon, and my mum told me she also cook the same dish on that day.. Wahahhaa.. so coincident .. funny right. Of course, I am pretty sure mum's one tastes better than mine... Mine one only meant to serve for my appetite. ")

Note: udang kering is contributed by my lovely cousins.. long way from Lion City... haha

reading session

Having a cup of coffee now.. reading the Msia and Spore's news online in SinChew & Channelnewsasia websites.

Try to get close with what is happening back to my home country and at least I would concern about what is the hot issues now. Like the dengue cases arise rapidly in Singapore and I can only tell my cousins just to keep clear out from those possible dengue breedings sites... Well I just wanna stay close with my beloved families and friends.. >p

attractive eyes

Had a chance to chit-chat with a Hawaii girl while attending the workshop this morning. I realized that I lost part of my points in mind which I have something to speak out and share with her during the discussion... This is because I keep seeing her uniquely green & blue eye balls, rolling in front of me.. ha.. Her eyes seemed to talk a lot too.. She is doing her PHD in physical education...

A cute snowman

This morning while on my way to school, saw an ice art sitting on top of the car's roof (this car exactly the same model as Mr Bean used to have.. ) .... I guess this must be done by a creative guy. The ice art I meant here is the snowman with wood stick crafted from the snow. These few days are really really cold... can see the snow in the late night and early morning.

What a spring season... hmmm...

woo la la..


Are those look familiar to you all ? hehee..

... but my chrysanthemum tea is with the NZ custom now. Cannot go through. If I would need to get this from custom, I have to pay for NZ$66.25. So, of course I will let them destroy the tea instead of paying so much...

I have my three favourite books now, my fav japanese dramas, my CDs, and lotsa of my fav..

A date with blossom


I used to go for a walk frequently. May be that's because I am too bored, lonely... so, go for a walk, say hi to the nature. As usual, went for a walk this morning. Walked towards Leith River and ahead to Clock Tower. Flowers grow up as now is spring season. The spring in NZ is raining all the time and yesterday I happened to see the hails. It is so amazing. Friend told me I shdn't walk on the street if it rains hails, because we might get hurt of the small cube ice ")

Post you the pics of the place I used to sit alone and enjoy the nature's beauty as well as the blossom on the street.

bad day...

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the brink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong
Daniel Powter "Bad Day"

my spider fren.

This morning, while having my breakfast in front of my desk, I saw a tiny spider crawling around my laptop. Imagine if I can't get rid of the spider from my room, will it grow bigger and bigger during my stay in this flat for a year. Oh man, which is so scary... or may be it just wants to make friend with me. no harm. ")

暫時離開

人生如戲﹐戲如人生
這兩天我讓自己暫時離開現有熟悉的人與物。。。沉溺在文學生活裡
我好像扮演了另一種角色。暫時離開﹐感覺很好。

lololo

My cousin told me she had delivered the things I need by courier yesterday, and probably I will get it in 2 weeks time. I will receive the card wrote by them and also wrote by the little niece. I wonder what will she draw inside the card. too artistic for me , i guess >p.

Full moon festival is around the corner,so I will get the moon cake as well. But not sure whether it can pass the NZ custom check or not... Really hope the custom officer closes his/her one eye, pretending never see the moon cake. hehee.

Ok wait for my parcels to be arrived soon.

Thanks my dear cousins...

Online Cafe...


Had a discussion with supervisors this afternoon. It seemed that there is still a long way for me to go. I have to do the major amendments on my proposal after the discussion. Well I guess this is so called research... You have to explore, learn from mistake, amend , correct, discuss, share your thought of your interest and findings, accept other's opinion and inputs, etc.

Ok have to plan out for tomorrow schedule.. hmm, well in the mean time just relax, make a cup of coffee ... how abt you? you can have the coffee online too ~ GIS Cafe. heh. (For whom have the keen interest in GIS Industry ..hehe)

daisy day


Today is the official Father's Day in NZ.

I like today's weather. Sunny and not that cold as usual. Surprise that I only need to wear a simple jacket , went out for bike and bought something I need at supermarket. One week holiday is over. School open tomorrow and lotsa of students lying down the green grass in front of the clock tower , enjoy chatting and reading.

I prefer to do an outdoor activity after my lunch, because of the good weather, really. I shoudn't hide myself in the room. Well, I decided to do planting. Went to the backyard, took some soils and plucked some small white & a bit purple color daisy from the ground and planted them into the small plant container. Now they right seated outside of my window. I want to see some green plants and flowers whenever I wake up everyday. Sounds good right?

Happy father's Day ")

great dinner


We had been working hard enough for this week... So my friend suggested that we should make a good dinner tonite. She invited me to her house, and decided to grill the first hand fresh trout ~ given by my supervisor from his fishing trip this afternoon. He gave each one a fish. By the time he hang over the fish to me, the fish was half alive... I know l love to eat fish, but I really feel sorry to them.. I saw the fish breathless... I was not meant to kill it. I scared of seeing the fish in the pain condition , eventually my fren cleaned and cut the two fish on behalf of me.

Well you know the story... the fish is the grilled fish with grilled potato as our dinner tonite. Now the fish was inside my stomach :( Besides of the luxurious dinner, my friend teached me how to make the pandan muffin. In NZ, it is impossible to find a pandan leave i guess, so she just replace the pandan leave with a little bit of the green coloring plus the santan... wooo..it really tastes good. And the most important is her muffin was not so sweet & oily, it just suits my taste! Yummy. I really really admire her and jealous about her good baking skill. The whole process of baking the muffin was only took us 20 minutes. She told me it is pretty easy to make muffin or other types of cakes or cookies, it is just a matter of whether you want to do it or not? Yeah, I agreed with her, I feel ashamed of myself (I have a bad cooking & baking skill.. )

Post you the muffin look.. I love it so much! ( can you see the last one, I had a quick bite and can;t stop myself of taking photo of them...is really yummy...)

Have a nice weekend all my friends!

:)
