JabChae (Korean Glass Noodles)

Remember in one of my previous posts, I said I wanted to give JabChae a go?

Well.. I did! :) and it was an absolute treat!

and very simple very much to my surprise. :D which means double the treat! ;)

bon appetit!

every food-aholic's nightmare.

oh booooy.
I've been eating and enjoying food so much that I've forgotten to take a second look at the mirror.

I'M SO FAT.

and no, don't try to say "you're not". I won't say it, really, if i'm not.
with my weight now (which you'll never know >:P) and considering the fact that it's got nothing to do with big bones cause my bones are TINY, I've gotta stop my heavy eating.

A healthy diet is what i need right now.

where's my salad?

Soothe

It's 8.19 at night now.
I've got my coffee (ew).

My history book in hand. (ew, even more)

but to make up for those..

I've got David Choi's Music to cheer me up. :)

Bliss. :)

Eh?

On a really random note..

...I ♥ BEEF.

Yesterday my parents went out, leaving me home alone with the maid.
So to cheer me up, I decided to cook myself a scrumptious dinner! :D
I made my famous (so called/as IF) Beef Dish!
Super simple, super fast, and super yummy!
Just beef (marinated with soy sauce and grounded black pepper), butter, distilled vinegar, and lots of garlic!
and Voila! Comfort Food :)

...but ugh, I HATE coffee!

Trials is due TOMORROW. :S

I've been drinking a LOT of coffee to stay awake. It's horrible, i know.
I never liked coffee.
all for the sake of exams.
and the consequences of procrastinating.
*sigh*
I'm definitely cleaning myself of coffee after SPM.

yuck.

Night, bye.

Updated from Outdated

Did the title made anyone else laugh here? cause i did. It's so corny, i laughed hard at myself.

Aneeeways.

Time for some randooom updates ;)

1.I've been cooking! :D simple ones tho. Like spaghetti, potato salad, omelet, and beef burgers! :) Next in line? JabChae! My sister started a blog for her recipes, and i've become a fond follower! ;)

2.I've also been baking. Butter chocolate chip cupcakes, Chocolate covered cupcakes, Almond cupcakes, and recently I tried making a butter layered cake with chocolate frosting. It was for a surprise birthday gift for my mom's 50th birthday. It turned alright, i guess....or you be the judge. constructive comments are much wanted. ;)

as you can see, the flaw was that it turned out rather messy.

Finished it with some almond bits and fancy candles.

3.Spm trials are around the corner and I'm stresssinnnngggg out! nuff' said

4.Just came back from Healthy Living Camp. Although i did not manage to study much, I still had a great time. Especially with the sisters :) and the messages were very touching.

p/s: I miss you too JASMINEEEEEE!! :)

5.I've been watching avatar the anime recently. so nice :D who wouldn't like to see ppl bending water, earth, fire and air?? It's like every kid's dream to able to manipulate things around you. no?

right, i'm a teen.
but still....

6. I'm currently TRYING to study history. It's so hard to get into the textbook.

aaaaand that's about it!

Missing

It's july 7th of 2011 today, and the 8th of July in 27 minutes.

Time is passing so fast all of the sudden.

Everything is written and routined.

I just want to have a moment to truly take everything pleasant in.

Just a moment where i can truly rest peacefully.

sleeping on an open field...light breeze..trees swaying..

If only life is a storybook.

:/

Back to schoolwork.

*sticks out tongue*

a class trip to MSU

yay! FINALLY. a class trip!! woohoo! :D

Today my whole class skipped school for a class trip to MSU- Management and Science University at Shah Alam.
We departed at around 7.15a.m. and arrived around 8.45a.m. The University was huge! Pretty impressive, but the surroundings were nothing to fancy on. It was surrounded with flyovers and busy streets.

We had our breakfast at their cafeteria then off we went climbing flights of stairs from the 1st floor to the 7th. :O phew.

We went in to a lecture hall that looks exactly like a cinema would. Then sat there for an hour listening to the representative speakers. They were Hilarious! :D

Then by 11, it was time for our tour. Our group was sent to first visit the anatomy class. or as the speakers called it "bilik mayat". yeap. real dead bodies that has been preserved.

We first saw a body, a male's i think, who has the fats taken out and skinned. He had a bullet shot through his head. The body has gone through a process called embalming process. sort of like waxing i guess.
Then the professor brought us to see some body parts that has been separated from the body, such as legs, hands, and organs. That was on table 1.

On table two were a upper half of a body that was (cut?) into 2. So we got to see the spine, vertebra, and the lungs. real rotten black lungs. a heavy smoker. :/

then the last table, that is, table 3, we saw real flesh and skin. a male. we only saw upper half of the body. The skin of the face and hands were still intact, so as the eyebrows and facial hair. The body has been there for about 3 years.

For the last bit, the prof. brought us into the morgue where they preserve the bodies by soaking them in some sort of chemical. The smell from the chemical was awful. It smelled rotten and like medicine, but it stings your nose and eyes like medicated oil ("feng you") We saw a few bodies, all bloated. That part was pretty creepy, cause it was real with all the skin, fats, and flesh still intact.

anyways, that was the visit to the anatomy class. after that, we went to their library that consists of 3 stories. :D Lovely.

by 12, we were all back at the lecture hall. more speeches. played a small game. and then off we went downstairs for lunch.

by 1, we were all on board on bus, sleepy and full. on the way back to smkte. :)

I love class trips! :) ♥
