Happy Feet

Okay... 'Considering' was such a bad idea. Bean ran around with me to three different shopping complexes today just to get the pair of shoes from Crocs. Thanks baby.

Now I am the proud owner of Crocs Santa Cruz!


At the price of RM209. *ouch*

It's okay. According to the Chinese saying, new pair of shoes is good to begin the journey of the new year. Since Chinese New Year is next week, this fits perfectly with the saying.

Fine.

I made that up.

Crocs-ified

Shit! I can't believe I will ever say this. But here it goes...

I FELL IN LOVE WITH CROCS!


Ugh... In huge dilemma now because retail price is at RM209!

But mummy said, 'BUY LA!'

Tee hee... might consider it first by having another look at it tomorrow!

Bulls Eye

In the midst of updating my blog yesterday, I unconsciously blinked my eyes too many times than the usual. When I realised I had been doing that, there was an uneasy feeling felt on my left eye. I checked myself in the mirror to found out my left eye were rather disgustingly bulged!


The whole of white part of my left eye, more definite: the sclera bulged out.

I freaked out.

I sheepishly woke my mum who was sound asleep...

Me: Mum!!!!!!
Mum: What?
Me: Come here!! You look at my eye!!!!
Mum: Oh... it will subside by tomorrow.

And she went back to sleep.

Mum said it was due to allergy. Gosh... she knows more than me. Sometimes I wonder who is the pharmacist?

My eyes are still red now. This caused me not being able to wear contact lenses. I have to wear glasses. =( I hope I don't meet anyone I know in the mall. My friends. Bean's friends. In case, they think Bean has an ugly girlfriend. Wahaahhahaa...

Time to rest my precious eyes.

How To Make Mushroom Soup?

I have so much time in the world nowadays, I started to have interest in cooking something from scratch. After a few attempts of making mushroom soup, I have finally perfected it to taste similar as those from the restaurants. The first few times when I tried to cook the mushroom soup, it either turned out not creamy enough or too watery or not tasting like mushroom soup at all.

The choice of mushroom soup that I like is the type with chunks of mushroom and creamy. Not those blended type that tastes like sand. *ewww*


Mushroom Soup Recipe (Serves 1)

Preparation time & cooking time: 20 minutes

• 100g fresh oyster mushrooms- thinly sliced (can be replaced with fresh button mushrooms)
• 1 small onion- thinly sliced
  
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2-3 tbsp thickened cream
  
• 1 small bowl of chicken stock in water (I used less than a quarter of chicken stock)
  
• 2 tsp corn flour
  

1. Heat the wok with butter.
2. Toss in the onions till they become transparent followed by oyster mushrooms. (somehow, water will ooze out from don't know where after some time of frying the oyster mushrooms. But just let it boil in there for a moment or so to soften the mushrooms.)
3. Pour the water in but make sure the chicken stock in water is just enough to cover the mushrooms and bring it to boil.
4. Add in the thickened cream.
5. To make the soup creamy and thick, stir in some corn flour in water to thicken the soup.
6. Sprinkle some pepper and salt to taste.

I realised the soup doesn't taste good if:
-oil is used instead of butter
-oyster mushrooms are not thinly sliced and if the stems of the oyster mushrooms are included in the soup. I usually throw it away. =P
-use too much of water.
-salt is not used.

When Swimming Isn't The Main Activity

One of the most enjoyable moment I had in Bali was spending time in our private pool doing silly things and maximizing the functions of a camera instead of swimming!


Look at Bean's face!!! The cunning look!




Happy times are great!
