Going back to the past XD

Wish you have a time machine?
Wish you can be a kid again?


Haha! That's how me and the BC gang felt when we played basketball that day. The funny thing is, is not the basketball that make us feels like kids again, but the activity afterward.


But that's later...

-------------------Boundary makes organization better------------------



Me and DC, Kent, KC, Winson, Paul went for a basketball match at section 17, and boy, it was scorching hot that day!!
In fact, we were melting under the sun like a vanilla-smell-candle...



I gotta admit, I'm getting too old for this, since i haven't been playing basketball for 3 months, my stamina can't support my will and my heart of a lion...

I got the drive, but don't have the energy.
Is like i want to buy a condom, but don't have the 7Eleven around.


I have to stop playing for few minutes every 15 minutes just to breath normal again.
*shying away from my seat*


*cough cough* I'm getting old...


---------------------------Time ~.~ flies----------------------------


I think the gang gotta admit, KC have the best stamina in the game, man, did you see that kid run???
Sneak in and out from the inside-court like nobody else business.
He didn't stop playing and running even after we have our turn resting.


I salute you, dude!!


-----------------------------saluting--------------------------------



Okay, after all that running and dribbling/shooting, we went to the playground "ahem"
yes, we went to the playground searching for our memories. lolz!!


seesaw, the "climbing pole", slope & etc sure brings back memories, and we make the most out of the seesaw ^^






it was hell of fun trying to balance the thing with our weight, it took us nearly 5 minutes to succeed, and yes, we did it XD

Later Paul went creative and did a "magic trick" with it ^^









That's just another wacky day we had ^^



TILL THEN

HAVE A NICE HOT DAY ^^

Daily Blues


Time: Morning I guess
Date: 22nd of April 2009
Venue: ss2 Sushi Tomo


Woke up in the morning and first thing I remember is that I need to go do my exam revision at Starbucks, so me and Investor Lee decided to have breakfast somewhere near there.


"There it is, Sushi Tomo standing firm on the ground", just opposite the wonderful Starbucks that I will be going later that day.






Sushi Tomo isn't your typical Sushi restaurant, from the name one might thought this is a Japanese restaurant.
Damn, how wrong I am.


Just beside the place I sat were some newspaper written in foreign language, so I though "okay, it must be in Japanese"


Who knows, It was so wrong when i saw "blocks letters" in these newspaper, ops!
It is actually in Hangul. Korean la!!!






Seriously kind of weird having Korean Newspaper here in a supposedly-Japanese restaurant. Investor Lee keep nagging me to pass him the newspaper, I'm like wtf?
"You can't even read Hangul, dude."
But you know, when a man wants his newspaper, he gets his newspaper...





Seriously, it is funny to see him acting like he knows Hangul XD
In reality, he just look at the fascinating shape of the words =.="


So, the food arrived...





Brief Food review:
The food is fresh, that's for sure, but the portion is just "not-so-worth it" though. Considering it cost around Rm16++ for a meal.
Not to mention it took quite long to get our food and drinks, YES DRINKS TOO!


--------------------------End of story 1----------------------------


Time: Morning again
Date: 27th April 2009
Venue: ss2 "记得吃"


Another exam week morning, another day at Starbucks, but before that, we when to "记得吃".

I always want to try the food here but don't have the chance, because it is said their dessert is the best in this region. Rumors... Okay, i don't hold any responsibility towards this statement XD





The ambiance is nice, but the service was... s...u....c...k...s...
They didn't even gave us a smile, and the food we've ordered...
Is not on par with other restaurant.

The dessert, well, may be we've ordered something that's not famous, that's why it is sssssssuuuuuccccckkkksss...
We've ordered 芝麻糊 and 花生浆糊 lol... sorry for not remembering the name XD


P.s. The prawn paste was awesome! It is standard In my opinion^^

TILL THEN

HAVE A NICE DAY^^

Bruschetta Review #2 [my recipe]

Okaaaaaay, now Ive drank some Absolute Vodka 40% so a bit blur blur...
but stil... i able to write this entryyyyy...



----------------------------Okay, I'm drunk----------------------------



*3 days later*



Just return from OUG after visiting my aunt...
Brought back a lot of IKO biscuits ^^




You won't see IKO biscuits in this package anywhere on the market ^^ "Relatives only"



This is one of the things aunt bought from Hokkaido few weeks back






-----------------------------Back to the topic-------------------------------



STEP-BY-STEP


~Ingredients~

Half Big Round Red Onion (chopped)
3 ripe Tomatoes (I use normal tomatoes, not those Australian's or Italian's)
3 cloves of garlic (sliced in half, try to make the sliced part as big surface area as possible) [I'm too scientific am I -.-"]
1 loaf of Country Herbs French Baguette
Parmesan Cheese (I prefer Mozzarella)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Any brand will do)
Salt
Black Ground Pepper (again, I use Mc Cormick's)
Basil Leaves (Mc Cormick's)



~Preparation~
Peel the tomatoes - I suggest make a cross on top and bottom of the tomatoes and put it in a bowl filled with boiled water, this will make the peeling easy.
Clean the insides of the tomatoes and chopped them in any shape you like- I chopped it into small bits.
Cut 3 slices of French Baguette, approximately 1 cm thick each.



~Procedures~
Put the tomatoes, onions into a bowl and mix it with a teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (as virgin as possible), a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of ground black pepper and a sprinkle of basil leaves. Leave it aside.

Now, toast or grill the slices of bread for 5 minutes (both sides)
If it looks a bit burnt, is okay, as this will add flavor to the bread. Yummy!


Rub the toasted/grilled bread with a clove of garlic,
spread it with a teaspoon of Olive Oil, season it with sprinkles of salt and ground pepper,
put the toppings (Tomatoes and onions mix) on the bread,
a bit of Parmesan cheese on top, sprinkle some basil leaves and grill/toast it and...

WHOOAALA!!

Enjoy!







TILL THEN


HAVE A DELICIOUS DAY^^

Bruschetta Review #1 [I'm the cook^^]

Okay, I suppose to be writing this post ages ago, but I've been busy with exams...

So now, here it is...



BRUSCHETTA!!!!


Yes, you heard it right...
I'm making Bruschetta and it will be my signature dish soon enough ^^
Bye bye my King's Smooth Booth Sandwich <--link *waving* But first, a little bit of history... (Darn, i hate that word)



History

Bruschetta was first being known (or founded) at the 15th century when growers of olives at central Italy planned to grill their bread over a woodfire grill.
Since they have a lot olive oil, they decided to grill the bread and sampled it with olive oil before rubbing a garlic on it.
Later, variations of Bruschetta emerged as tomato, onions and etc being introduced to the cuisine.

----------------------thank god that was over -.-"-------------------------






After the break up, I have been looking for things to do to spend my free time.
Since i like preparing delicious meal, I've decided to make an appetizer as a start to my "tantalizing" career in the culinary world XD





So i browsed,




and browsed,




and browsed...




Until i saw the word Bruschetta...



Wah~~~~
*Saliva dripping down from my mouth, with salivary glands keep excreting the enormous waves of "teeth juice"*


And i know, at the very moment, this is the appetizer that i am looking for^^
Here goes nothing...

----------------At last, the step-by-step shall begins------------------




NEXT WEEK!!



TILL THEN


HAVE A NICE DAY ^^
