Hmm... let's talk about BREAD? Guess all of you must be staring at me strangely. Why Bread? Ahem... According to the ever-brilliant Wikipedia, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread" target="_blank">Bread</a> is considered one of the oldest food as it has existed well before 30,000 years ago in Europe. Bread is usually made from wheat-flour dough (with salt and water) through the fermentation of natural yeast, allowed to rise and bake in the oven. Moreover, it is one of the Food Monster's favourite staples of all time. It is the bizarre texture of the breads that has built up my curiosity on this flour dough. Although I always like to eat this staple food but yet I haven't got the chance to put my hands down and work with the doughs.<br />

In the Academy, I've got the chance to make my very first breads on my own!! Chef Niklesh was our mentor for this yeast puffing session. Chef has even told us that we gotta use our bare hands to FEEL the right fold of the bread dough to determine whether it is ready to bake in the oven. He makes sure all of us are using the right technique to roll the bread doughs in order to avoid any irregular shapes.<br />

As illustrated in the figure above, for small soft/hard rolls, we can use our whole palm to roll the bread dough until it comes out with the smooth surface. Whereas, for bigger soft/hard rolls, we have to use both hands to knead the doughs with extra strength onto it. <br />

Apart from Soft/Hard breads, we have got the chance to make our own Focaccia breads! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focaccia" target="_blank">Focaccia</a> is actually a type of Italian bread and is widely famous throughout the high-heeled boot like nation. Focaccia dough is similar to the texture of pizza dough, using high-gluten flour, water, oil, salt and starter. A starter or poolish consists of wheat flour, water and yeast which acts as pre-ferment to prolong the fermentation in bread making process. It is able to improve the lifespan and storage of the baked bread, and it creates greater complexities of flavour.<br />

From top: Tarragon Focaccia, Italian Herbs Focaccia and Olive Focaccia with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. They are just simply gorgeous!! Chef Niklesh was there to assist all the students with the knowledge and techniques of bread making and he demanded us to make another batch of all the breads in order to master the basics of the whole bread making process. We ended up having two huge batches of flour products and part of them have been arranged for charity donation!<br />

Viola~ Here's the whole batch of different breads that we have made... Thanks to the patience and perseverance of Chef N to guide us through the whole 2-days sessions. It was really an inspiring class for the Food Monster, or rather Flour Monster! Don't be jealous as we get to bring all the flour products to savour them ourselves... Put in the toast with fruit conserves or even just eat it plain, it is just like being in heaven! You can have it too, only by private request ;)<br />
<br />
Before ending this post, I would like to thank both CheeHung, JZ and Ernie for your generosity to allow me to bunk in your lovely nests in Melbourne and Brissy during my recent trip to the Down Under! Thanks all of you for making this trip a special one and I am looking forward to see you guys soon... Till then, have a great life eating BREADS!<br />

There is a famous quote by Ernestine Ulmer, "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." People would willing to do whatever they could just to savour this little masterpiece. Pastry shops and cafés are the current lifestyle trend where people would spend their beautiful weekends at. <br />

Being branded as Food Monster, my interest lies clearly on "Desserts". Recently, I have made a leap to begin my culinary adventure by enrolling a part-time certificate pastry course at The Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia. This initiative has been fully backed by Adrian and JZ as they are always very supportive and encourage me to pursue my all time interest. <br />

The program is comprised of 12 main topics in consecutive 12 weekends. It covers Modern Cake, Plated Desserts, Chocolate, Sugar Art and etc. For more info, please visit <a href="http://www.academyofpastryartsmalaysia.com/web/?page_id=97">Certificate of Pastry & Bakery Arts</a>. My first ever class is the challenging Wedding Cake. In my first impression, wedding cake is really a hardcore topic to start with and I'm worried if I can ever meet the expectation for the completion of the class. Nevertheless, I have bailed it all out to do whatever I could to make it happen.<br />

The instructor for this session is Chef Tan, who has more than 5 years of professional working experiences as pastry chef in hotels and bakeries. He has tried to make the class to be less stressful and fun to have more interaction with the students. There are four students (including me) who are very passionate to start a career in baking and pastry making. Asha is a full-time housewife with years of experience in preparing the meals for her kids and would want to make a living in baking industry when she migrates to Adelaide end of this year. Emily, who was a marketing engineer, has quit her job to enrol in this course to further enhance her baking skills in her online-business to sell puffs and pastries. Zul, a professional architect who would want to have his own bakery in the near future when he has completed this part time course. Their stories are truly inspirational to be a force for me to pursue my baking dream.<br />
<br />
All the ingredients for the recipe are provided by the academy and Chef Tan has explained each baking steps and essential baking knowledge patiently to ensure we have a clear understanding on the specific details. <br />

We have the sense of satisfaction after completing the hand-crafted creation under Chef Tan's guidance. The good thing about this class is that students get to bring back their works for own consumption... hurray! But, the issue here was on how are we going to transport this two-layered fragile cake back without any "cake-accident"? I have to admit I was having a hard time to transport it back home in a winding road with road humps... Phew, it was alright and the cake arrived at home in one full piece ;p<br />

Hmm, I'm looking forward for the upcoming baking topic (Cookies) that will cover different kinds of cookies from different regions in the world - Biscotti, Florentine and many more. I need to practice on how to plan my schedule and utilize the time effectively, while not affecting my full-time work at the same time.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I would like to depict another quote, "Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!" Let's release our stresses that have been accumulated throughout the weekdays by having a cuppa...<br />

It is a great Sunday and I'm breathing fresh air in my beloved Penang~ Just finished cleaning up the water pump in the fish pond and it is working all good now! The sound of the water flowing reminds me of those days back which my dad will do all the works while brothers and I are busy playing computer games.... Bad sons huh >.<"<br />
When dad is getting older, he will be the commander and gives us the orders to make sure the water pump is working properly. It will be our worst nightmare if we are being told to change the water in the pond!! First, we need to drain the water by half, then catch the Koi fish out and scrape off those thick layers of green algae. Before putting back the Koi fish, we will need to splash a handful of sea salt with anti-chlorine liquid into the fresh water. It will take up a whole morning and I suppose it is a good work out too, haa.<br />
<br />
It has been almost 2 years since the day you left us, things have changed with ups and downs in life. We are here to make sure mum is doing fine, so don't worry dad! Recently, mum has fulfilled her childhood dream of going to UK together with Cecilia... We are glad to see her enjoying herself there as well. Likewise, I need to buckle up and focus on my priorities for now! Thanks to everyone beside me, I have gained and learned precious experiences in life. I have to learn to pursue happiness in hard times... <br />
<br />
Dad, when I was browsing through the photos in your camera, I saw a lot of photos that you have taken with the people you have met and people that have helped you these recent years... Sincerely thank them from the bottom of my heart! Among the photos, I find this is really memorable... Trio shot by Dad@Macau in 2008.<br />

Its a such a great day to kick start my much anticipated new career as it is also the V-Day... Thanks to everyone for their efforts to assist, support and encourage me to take up such new challenge in life. What makes me to decide to come down to the capital city and be away from my much comfort crib back in Penang? The answer is DRUG...!! This amazing yet eerie term has always been in my mind ever since I have decided to enrol Biotech course back in uni...Gotta grab this golden opportunity and give all I've got to achieve my career objectives and milestones! <br />
<br />
Hmm, Shyang with much sincere apologies for not able to stay at your side on this special occasion. Well, need not to specifically spend an enormous amount of extra expenses to keep the other half happy only on this particular date. Have a great time with family back there ;)<br />
<br />
All I want to say is... I love my valentine much and as always~ <span class="messageBody">♥<br />

My colleagues keep asking me to make something for their afternoon tea with some restrictions and these are what I have to bear in mind: No banana, no dry fruits (which is my favourite), no berry-based fruit conserved. Well, guess orange is an universal fruit that can stay safe within the acceptance zone. Started baking only at 9.30pm on Sunday, I'm kind of tired to get myself to move my heavy limbs. Such a lazy FM... After an hour of weary baking session, it turns out like this....<br />

The overall texture is surprisingly great and spongy with enough moisture and sweetness. The fragrance of orange is so strong until my 2nd bro left his beloved PC and approached me to have a peep on what I am doing. Yea, nobody would able to resist the piping hot and fresh cake, especially at such late hours (time for some supper, no?). The only downside of this cake is that the butter is not enough as I have forgotten to put an extra of 50g that is supposed to be in the recipe. The base of the cake gets too dry until it has affixed at the bottom of the baking pan ;(<br />
Lesson learned: Must gather all the ingredients beforehand if you are after for a perfect creation!!<br />

The cake is well-supported by my hungry and glutton colleagues. Within 10 minutes, my container is empty and I could barely have one slice for myself. Being the smart FM, I have kept a few slices in advance for mum and bros at home. *Wink* <br />
Guess I am done for the day. Sweet dreams and nitez. <br />

The earth is moving, the time is flowing and my heart is pumping irregularly. Just a glimpse of eye, it has been a year!

Things are alright at home, everyone seems trying their best to get back on track...Live strong in life. Mum is cheering up to have herself occupied with Yoga classes but somehow will be quite emotional when she thinks of you...Dad, you never been forgotten by everyone here, instead living in our hearts ever since before! Ya, still have a lot to learn in life, wish you were here when I need you ~ Not to worry, we will take good care of ourselves here...; )<br />

Right before going off for work, all my mind is just flashing back all the moments that we have spent together, from young till the day you left us~! It has been a tough day here with 2 colleagues on leave at the same time! Wish Wei recovered soon with her sprained ligament. My concentration tends to distort at some point of time but the heavy workload immediately steered myself back on track to keep things focused. Well, guess I just need more rest for myself...after working in staggered hours for almost a year too! <br />

People accumulate sleep debt surreptitiously without any sense of consciousness. We tend to have "sleep debt" when we are in a rush for due date reports or presentations and all sorts of reasons that you can find out for yourselves, just to make you feel better. Sleep debt, by definition, is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get for each day. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sleepdex.org/deficit.htm">Sleepdex.org</a> has said that a person who loses ONE night's sleep will generally be irritable and clumsy during the next day. After missing TWO night's sleep, a person will have problems concentrating and will begin to make mistakes on normal tasks. THREE missed nights will cause a person starting to have hallucination and lose grasp of reality "like the one we get to watch in L.Di Caprio's recent creation - The Inception." Studies have found that sleep deprivation leads to worsened vision, impaired actions in daily lives and trouble remembering. Chronic effects include obesity and heart disease.<br />
<br />
Oh no, is it that serious? Need not worry, there is still numerous of solutions to tackle such intricate issue! The good news is that, like all debt, it can be repaid with proper work being done. Having enough of sleep will enable your brain to undergo a restorative period to maintain the balance within your endocrine system and allows your organs to be back on track to function in an ordinary way. Tacking on an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up with the arrears of sleep. Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morning (NO alarm clock is allowed). Experts say that needing an alarm clock in order to wake up is a sign that you are sleep deprived. Yea dear, I shouldn't been complaining all my daily lives frustration and put them into excuses for my "sleep deprivation" throughout this year…Sorry for being emotional and rant over you! I will not starve myself again too. Well, I definitely need to start from here…(; <br />
<br />
I have attached here with a free sleep calculator, please have a go to calculate the right sleep hours for yourselves --> <a href="http://www.thewhitenoisealbum.com/sleepdebtcalculator.html">Sleep Calculator</a><br />
<br />
For more in depth research, please visit <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fact-or-fiction-can-you-catch-up-on-sleep">Can You Catch Up on Lost Sleep</a> and <a href="http://www.lifeevolver.com/pay-sleep-debt-smart/">How to Pay Back sleep debt in Smart Way</a> <br />
<br />
<b><i>Fun facts</i></b>: It is known that law enforcement pros employ forced sleep deprivation to get people to have lower resistance to truth telling. It is hard to lie when you're sleepy…!!<br />

Was traveling to Ipoh for a day trip with my mum yesterday. I have brought along my Master Chef mag that I've got in Australia last July to avoid those "Foreseen" boredom…Haa, not that serious yet d; Then found a recipe by Junior Master Chef, thought I can be a master chef too?! Therefore, I grabbed the opportunity to make the Apple Crumble that I've been craving for so long.<br />

<br />
Apart from those raw materials stated above, I thought omelet will be another great enhancement for our dinner, especially with the crispy outer skin and slightly pan-fried fragrance...The normal Fajitas don't seem to satisfy the much-demanding FM, so I gently arranged all the Fajita rolls onto a baking pan and sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese before putting into the oven for 15 minutes. Tick-tock, tick-tock...YIPPIE, time for DINNER, folks!<br />

<i>The <b>Roasted Crispy-skinned Fajitas with Salsa</b> as flavouring sauce...</i><br />
<i>Is someone knocking the door, asking for some tasting sessions?! d;</i><br />
<br />
Mexican or Italian?! My brain can't even have a justified answer! It tasted exactly like the homemade Italia Pizza~ Mumbo Jumbo...I'm loving it! Everything seems so perfect except the Mexican flavouring powder which is towards the salty side, need some water to quench the thirst~ <br />
<br />
I really love cooking, baking and of course, EATING! But, when Rationality become a Liability, nobody can escape from the Chef's worst nightmare - CLEAN THE DISHES~ No exceptional even if you have produced a great dinner. Therefore, I have to wash all the cookery and plates by myself....~ Haaa! Ya, let's make dinner as a good practice as it will train up your patience, explore your knowledge on food handling to the widest and so on...at least they are healthy in the way that YOU are the one who knows what ingredients/flavourings that are being used in those dishes~!<br />

I have decided to name this recipe as fruit loaf rather than fruit cake as this flour-product contains less moisture. Thus, it creates a great texture which sits right in between a cake and a bread. YUMMY!<br />
<br />
Food Monster is also running out of fresh ideas lately. He needs to observe the surroundings and hopefully get to churn out some incredible senses. This time, I have scooped out a portion of the ready-bake batter and added in with some premium cocoa powder from the Dutch Chocolatier - <a href="http://www.vanhoutendrinks.com/en/">Van Houten</a>. Then, I have combined both portions right before sending it into the oven. It turned out to be.....<br />

Well, it did give me some hard times when my friend planned to come over <a href="http://www.visitpenang.gov.my/portal3/">Penang, Malaysia</a> for holidays!! A warmth welcome for the special guests, ShanMin and ShuMin from our neighbour land, Singapore.<br />
<br />
I've to hook up to the net and google for some local tourist spots...but those attractions can't really interest me much as being a local, there isn't anything much to see?!! ShanMin keep asking me why is the place is not worth-going, why is the area not reachable and so forth. Arh...FM is having headache! She tells me that I need to think like a tourist, not from the locals' point of view! Ermm, OKIE~ **FM is discontented**!! Haa....<br />
<br />
I sort of complaining this to Bee and she convinced me back with just a single and simple good reason --> They are my FRIENDS! Thanks dear, you've got the point...and I will always listen to you...Muacks!! Yeap, they are indeed my friends, so I need to learn to be a good tour guide and put on a good smile to all the Penang visitors!<br />
<br />
First tourist spot that I could think of is...<a href="http://www.visitpenang.gov.my/portal3/what-to-see/attractions/fort-cornwallis.html">Fort Cornwallis</a>. Actually, this is my second trip to this well-supported tourist spot since my first time when I was in primary...!<br />

ShanMin had a request for me to bring them to the film-taking spot in Church St., Penang. I was like...is there any special? But, the reminder kicked in --> we must think and see from tourist-point of view. Alrighty, be a good girl and I shall grant your wish...Here we go to the <a href="http://www.pinangperanakanmansion.com.my/">Pinang Peranakan Mansion</a>! Somehow I feel ashamed of myself, how could I don't know the road in Penang but yet I'm a Penangite! Arh girls, please forgive me...I will train harder and learn by heart next time!<br />

Many things have happened in these 2 months, I have gone through ups and downs and finally I have reached a turning point in my life...! Well, I will be moving back to Penang and work starting mid of Dec! It is time for me to spend my time with my precious family, after going away from home (studied in Brissy, Aust) for 3 years and working in KL for 8 months~ I miss my daddy...**shyang and whole family will always remember you, my greatest dad**<br />
<br />
Alright, let me get back to this post...why am I putting "RM400" as the title of this post? It is all about my absurdity in taking things for granted :( I thought I manage to catch my rushing flight to S'pore (supposed to be 2.35pm) in time, but I was late to check-in for 10mins...(last check-in time will be 45mins before departure time)!! How silly I am...In the end, I have to burn my RM70 ticket and get the new one (for RM300) T_T....Not only the ticket, I have wasted LCS's FAST&FURIOUS driving trail all the way to LCCT from Damansara for just 50mins...He even revved his lil dear car up to 160km/hr, just to reach the terminal before the closing time...ARH, I should have left my office earlier! That's my own personal fault and all has to be blamed on myself....SAD!!!<br />

Without any hesitation, I just verbally described those ingredients and the steps for that recipe. But, I have promised them to publish this luscious recipe for people to savour this wonderful dish whenever they want...Come, make a wish and I will grant you one!!!<br /><br />When people mention about pasta, what would you think at first? A staple food from Italy? Red sauce is the only sauce available for pasta? <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pasta</span> is actually a generic term for variants of noodles, food made from a dough of flour, water and with/without eggs. Pasta can be served in red sauce (often calls as Bolognese or Napolitan style), white sauce (Carbonara style) or even used in making soup.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrLCdclvyXf7kMpxwdI1nLBlyYHraBUrNWf_ukcH167pOQ_QxTNz3q9kJmKLBHmtgRiqMuyYSKWsaweVAnzD5HDOJ7jrZEGZo47VQrxW4S6W11C9fsdn-KDHV3NprujqDNUP_AQ/s1600-h/800px-Pasta_2006_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrLCdclvyXf7kMpxwdI1nLBlyYHraBUrNWf_ukcH167pOQ_QxTNz3q9kJmKLBHmtgRiqMuyYSKWsaweVAnzD5HDOJ7jrZEGZo47VQrxW4S6W11C9fsdn-KDHV3NprujqDNUP_AQ/s320/800px-Pasta_2006_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373173486444979042" border="0" /></a><br />Varieties of pasta...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kev's Wonder Recipe - Homemade White Sauce Pasta (Carbonara Style)</span> <img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/KEVINK%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowq4MIBmnEBVllF19Mkdvc0X2dMCS74SJOv1N-ry5OUz1dzR9AmHx3U8BlKfzVIy088gclu1ssgh07_5-czKB8JcraluxofrSHHp6fYH69NYbAjdhl10RU-1MpDq-buLM58W0HA/s1600-h/PICT1330.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowq4MIBmnEBVllF19Mkdvc0X2dMCS74SJOv1N-ry5OUz1dzR9AmHx3U8BlKfzVIy088gclu1ssgh07_5-czKB8JcraluxofrSHHp6fYH69NYbAjdhl10RU-1MpDq-buLM58W0HA/s320/PICT1330.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373178755956867122" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Angel Hair White Sauce Pasta with Grilled Butter Fish (Thin like hair pasta)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients:</span><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">General Pasta & Others</span><ul><li>A packet of pasta of your choice (Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Angel Hair, Spirals and etc.)</li><li>Olive oil or cooking oil<br /></li><li>1 medium size of onion (chopped)<br /></li><li>1 clove of garlic</li><li>200g of Bacon cubes</li><li>2 capsicums (green, red or yellow)</li><li>2 chopped tomatoes</li></ul><span style="text-decoration: underline;">For white sauce<br /></span><ul><li>4 tablespoons of melted butter</li><li>2 tablespoons of flour</li><li>2 cups of fresh full-cream milk<br /></li><li>1/4 teaspoon of salt, pepper (alter for individual liking)</li><li>Italian herbs or other dry herbs</li><li>Optional: White wine for extra luxurious fragrance</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Procedures:</span><br /><br />1. Firstly, boil a pot of water for cooking the pasta. **<span style="font-weight: bold;">Remember:</span> Don't put oil into the pot of water but only 10g (2 tsp) of salt per 1 litre or (2 pints) can be used as a rule of thumb for seasoning<span style="font-weight: bold;">**</span> When the water comes back to a rolling boil, add in the pasta and give it a good stir to keep the pasta pieces from sticking to each other. Cook about 12-15 minutes, for <span style="font-style: italic;">al dente</span> or chewy texture, taste, or break open a piece of pasta to test for doneness. Drain the pasta and retain a cup of pasta water for later use.<br />2. Secondly, Put some oil on the heating pan and add in all the bacon cubes. Fry until slight golden brown colour. Add in both chopped onions and garlic cloves, then fry together with the bacon cubes.<br />3. Put in the chopped capsicum and tomatoes to stir-fry together until it is slightly soft. Remove all the ingredients from the pan and put aside for later use.<br />4. For making the sauce, start by adding the melted butter on the hot pan, follow with the flour - a little at a time - the mixture will thicken up to the consistency of wall paper paste (roux). When the roux has turned from yellow to white, then you can start adding milk - a little at a time - until it is enough for the whole cooked pasta. Put in salt and pepper for taste. Then, add in herbs or white wine on personal preference.<br />5. When the sauce is slightly boiling, add in the cooked pasta and the pre-cooked ingredients.

Apologize for being vanished for a period of time. I have made a few crucial decisions and gone through a huge transition in my life. Yeap, I have decided to return to my home country to proceed to another stage of my lifetime journey. Today is <span style="font-style: italic;">16th March 2009</span>, it also marked as a "Brand New Day" to pursuit my dream life and temporarily putting a full-stop in student life. However, I still have two-sided feelings about this life-changing decision and I have to admit it will take some time for me to adapt such changes. I will definitely try my best for that, get my fingers crossed and open my eyes widely to see things clearer (DD boss, am I right?)<br /><br />For sure I am sad to leave all my great mates and food in Brissy, you guys have been so awesome~ <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Food monster"</span>, that's the nick that is been given by the Optimus Team, I will always remember that!! Thanks for your companion all these while and I will never forget all the great times we had together for the past few years! I wouldn't have been a person I am today without all of your supports and cares. I sincerely wish all of you having a bright and prospective future, please do keep contact. Take good care...Till then, I have faith that we will meet each other in some part of the earth in the future...^^<br /><br />Below are the "great catch" early this year...enjoy~<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMt7gQOIYIZifyHg70lDPGDUusCyspCCiAyXN2X5046P_AYYSyvvhXqjHNWvTc8dBfW8JgmPfF3wk495GO4kX1QKu7lomz0sWEfDtxcDGPe2qmpFmDuW6PzY7aalxQfpwO15MNkA/s1600-h/IMG_1907.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMt7gQOIYIZifyHg70lDPGDUusCyspCCiAyXN2X5046P_AYYSyvvhXqjHNWvTc8dBfW8JgmPfF3wk495GO4kX1QKu7lomz0sWEfDtxcDGPe2qmpFmDuW6PzY7aalxQfpwO15MNkA/s320/IMG_1907.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313801747246705202" border="0" /></a><br />Dusk@Inderawasih football field, Penang, Malaysia.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCKfYRGlNUtKIyL6aLiJWjbyx5WciBaIaz8GghSwsIYFnHVik9vwRe4Z_qsw8V4rGMEi9oBlKV-ulVMwA2GpuIgEe2uPCVGY7ocEH1G-Sx1pQhXU2kAW5oCmwE71xhbbnVf1qUXw/s1600-h/IMG_1985.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCKfYRGlNUtKIyL6aLiJWjbyx5WciBaIaz8GghSwsIYFnHVik9vwRe4Z_qsw8V4rGMEi9oBlKV-ulVMwA2GpuIgEe2uPCVGY7ocEH1G-Sx1pQhXU2kAW5oCmwE71xhbbnVf1qUXw/s320/IMG_1985.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313802278254779202" border="0" /></a><br />Glamorous lightings@Kek Lok Si temple, Penang, Malaysia.Kevin Khorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902736242290938910noreply@blogger.com186tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11876132.post-47914333079573383532008-12-25T07:48:00.028+08:002015-04-22T09:22:41.074+08:00My MTIM Graduation@UQ (15th Dec 08')Harlo mates, how's it going? Hohoho, Merry Christmas, everyone!! I've just got back from my superb wonderful trip in Melbourne, don't really want to come back from that fantastic & fun city!! Great city, friendly people with nice weather!! I will blog much about the trip soon...so stay tune for that~<br />
<br />
Yeap, finally, I have graduated with my postgraduate course (<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Master of Technology and Innovation Management</span>) on this very special day, 15th Dec 08', at University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. After a year and a half of hardships, its time for me to step up and face the reality to get into working career!! There were 2 important things that made this a very special day. First, my ever beloved dad and mum managed to attend my convocation, my two brothers (Hooi & Jiow) with their warmest regards and the luxurious Tissot!! Second, KC & her family attended my convocation too...really thanks to them for spending their precious time here.<br />

Good luck, guys...keep contact ya~<br />
<br />
This marks the temporary end of my formal academic career, at the age of 23. But I will keep learning for sure, from people around me, things or even news around the globe. It is always intriguing to meet people from different cultural backgrounds, demographics and geographical locations~ I'm really glad that all my fellow senior friends (the usual gang) have done with their study career too, some will go back for good and be good government servants (Kidding ya)...some will apply for PhD studies (Good on 'em)! No matter what it turns out to be, I will be here to wish them best of luck for their future in all sincerity!! Please keep in touch, people...miss all of you~<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Firstly, spread a slice of bread with the peanut butter, with another plain bread stacking on it, and spread with the peanut butter, again stack with a plain bread. It is then formed a 3 bread block.<br />2. Remove all 4 sides of the bread edges (as it will affect the pudding texture), and then cut them into tiny cute square blocks.<br />3. Arrange those tiny bread blocks onto a baking dish, scatter with some raisin on top of the breads.<br />4. Mix together fine white sugar, butter and milk and cook with low heat. At the same time, add in the egg yolks (one at a time) and vanilla essence for more fragrance. Constant stirring is needed.<br />5. Pour the above mixture to cover all the bread cubes, make sure each of them is well-soaked with the delicious mixture.<br />6. Place the baking dish on top of a roasting pan filling with water to reach halfway ip to the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 40-50 minutes with 170 Celsius until it turns golden brown.<br />7. Let it cold down on a baking rack and serve immediately when it is still HOT...<br /><br />P/S: The sugar content can be adjusted according to personal preference...feel free to 'mix n match'!! I'll bet you'll get addicted for such delicacy...hehe! It is always fun to do some baking yourselves at home...hope you guys can try this out when you need something to MUNCH!!<br /><br />Alright, have to continue working on my LAST assignment as I will be heading for the BBQ session with all my usual gang later@ SouthBank...Its gonna be hot out there...Applying Sunblock is definitely a MUST...Till then, take care mates!<br /><br />Love,<br />Kev XOX<br /></span></span>Kevin Khorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902736242290938910noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11876132.post-58336436528496101462008-10-03T06:22:00.035+08:002010-09-05T16:08:59.436+08:00MidSem2 08' Getaway - Toowoomba (27th Sept 08')Aikkss...I was being poked by <a href="http://lazynocure.blogspot.com/">JJ</a> to update my procrastinating bloggie~ Yeap, I'm back here again to inform all of you about my <span style="font-style: italic;">status qu</span><span style="font-style: italic;">o</span>!!

After a long long "rest", I'm back here again to lighten up your day! Thanks to Nicole for asking me to be hardworking, won't procrastinating again, gal~ This post is about the yummy German cuisine I had during my winter trip to Addie (Adelaide)!! Really thanks to all my friends in Adelaide for your sweet hospitality for bringing me around, hunting for good food and sight seeing~ **Sorry for those vegetarians, this is for the Meat-Lovers**<br /><br />Handorf is a prestigious tourist spot that most people would love to be there for a taste of Mediterranean exhilaration. The German descendant village is full of history, heritage and hospitality nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjia3zLG0EHYsM3vN2a_kGT2ZmIl0Bk9SwRk7xHuespa_jS9yRBZdlyVVe5wS_Ard9NfatnIbljnlbDNOuiXC9R1XhBAo41SDhaMQN9m3ECMX8RD6c3FKzyPP0_7jDIyWqqXEzRaA/s1600-h/IMG_0557.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjia3zLG0EHYsM3vN2a_kGT2ZmIl0Bk9SwRk7xHuespa_jS9yRBZdlyVVe5wS_Ard9NfatnIbljnlbDNOuiXC9R1XhBAo41SDhaMQN9m3ECMX8RD6c3FKzyPP0_7jDIyWqqXEzRaA/s320/IMG_0557.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230154181013738546" border="0" /></a><br />The German town in Winter season<br /><br />The members of the epicure team were: Ivan, Khai Jue, Chi Hou and I (all Penangites).

After being nagged for long by my friends to update my blog, so I'm here to write up new post reluctantly...Its probably have to blame on my tiredness! Guess what, I accompanied my tech-geek friend, JJ, to queue up for the long-waiting iPhone which had launched today!! Moreover, Australia and New Zealand are the first nations among other countries to enjoy the technological gadget, due to the differences in time zone! After a long, boring, full-of-shyness wait for around 4 hours, JJ has finally managed to sign up a 24-months iPhone 3G contract with only AUD$56 monthly charges and given an exclusive AUD$300 worth of credits!! She was jumping up high for joy...so excited huh, gal !! Well, for me, I am still appreciating my current Nokia 6270 and hope it can help me up for longer periods, thanks buddy!
