My Top 5 Treat List

The other day, I saw a DELL blogging contest that requires bloggers to write about how would you treat yourself if money and opportunities were not a concern. That really got me thinking. Of course, I can't do this by myself, I had to ask someone, someone who understands me like no other, who's been there for me ALL my life - the child in me, Tiny Kim. The following is our little conversation.

Lor Bak

On Wednesday morning, my Mum had a little demonstration on how to make a famous Penang dish - "Lor Bak". According to Wikipedia, Lor Bak is made by marinated minced pork, then roll in thin soybean sheets and then deep fried.

There are many variations on the types of meat used in the Lor Bak. Some people prefer to use pork sausages, others prefer to use minced pork. The way that was taught to my Mum was to use lean pork instead. Thus, it really depends on what your taste buds tell you. Anyway, I have already summarized the entire cooking process into three big pictures. Enjoy!

中秋节快乐！

As you can see, I have put together all the mooncake boxes that I have collected throughout the past few years into a single picture. I would always look forward to this time of the year, just simply because I love to see the various styles of packaging. Anyway, Happy Mooncake Festival, everyone!

The Attack of Creativity

After graduation, I suddenly feel...... FREE.... free as a bird. I am free to do whatever I want... for now at least. Before I battle the issue of either furthering my studies or start working (actually, I am stalling >_<), I decided to embrace the artistic side of mine by doing some arts and craft. =P

I have seen many people who have hand-made their own jewelery, some even make a fortune out of them. I was definitely intrigued to try it out myself. Sure enough, I was able to make a simple bracelet as well by using beads and wires. Not bad for the first try eh?


Besides the bracelet, I revamped a boring old puzzle box into something more presentable. You know, whenever a person receives a present, one's common reaction would be to guess what is in the box. One will tap, shake and listen to the present in order to figure out the contents. This idea was from an arts and craft book I bought the other day. Naturally, I tried to make my own "peekaboo" (as I like to call it) present box. And TADA~! What do you think?
On the side note, internet has been slow... I wonder why?

CPR time

It is time for resuscitate my blog.

Hey y'all, what's up? It's been a long while since I last wrote an entry. I hope you all have been doing well :). I, on the other hand, have been sick *coughing, to be precise for a few days now. I don't have a fever, so I am NOT infected with H1N1. However, because H1N1 infection is getting more and more serious each day, I just stayed home to avoid all the auntie's gibberish talking about H1N1 and gossips about who has been infected yadda yadda yadda...

Putting that aside, I have finished my bachelor degree!!!!! I am beyond thrilled when I got my final results! I am so glad that I have made it! Haha! Now I am excited for my graduation! You know, initially, I did not want to attend the graduation ceremony. I felt that I did not accomplished anything worthy for any celebration. I talked to my family about it and my parents told me, "Up to you, it is your choice." In the end, I registered for graduation. My brother changed my conception about the entire thing. He said that, "This is a milestone. This is what you have accomplished so far and you may not be happy about it. But, these are the things are going to bring you further on what you are going to be next. It might be bigger, better and maybe something you might be proud of." I suppose he is right. It is just kind of weird that I didn't want to go for graduation in the beginning and now I am actually excited???? Strange but true. Anyway, that's it for today! Let me know what you think about my new look for my blog! Bye!
