Mooncake
Made some snow skin mooncakes and 'practice' photo skills.

If you like to make them..the below is for about 35 small Pandan/Green Snow-Skin Mooncakes

Skin :
300 g fried rice flour + 120g shortening + 450g icing sugar + 1.5 cup pandan water (boil from pandan leaf or using commercial pandan-extract)

Filling:
1kg lotus paste (or others)

1. stir the flour and make a well int he middle
2. add icing sugar, pandan water, shortening & mix well for about 3 mins
3. roll 30g lotus pastel into ball shape
4. roll 20g skin into ball shape, flatten and wrap around the lotus paste ball
5. press into mould and tap it out..... that's it!

Yes...no further cooking needed as the ingredients above are all cooked ingredients. Now you know why I make them - when I realise, during the cooking class, that no further cooking is applicable, I dare not eat those made by others! Wonder how clean their hands are...oops ....

Watering hole
New place @ bishan park.
Though i am not a fan of the owner (the ex-tcs actress who also open bridal shops..), would still say that i do find the spa furnishing/design nice.
Especially liked the cafe which is built around/onto the existing old tree i.e. you see the trunk and roots right smack in the middle of the cafe.
Hack..for an anti-wedding person, I even say that the gowns at her bridal shop is quite pretty. Ok enough.... *from ms anti-tcs-"any actress/actor"*

Yet another website for tracking of the performance of funds
Two sides to every coin
For every action, there is a reaction.
Some people prefer to say that there is a pessimistic or optimistic view to every thing.
While others simply say that opportunities are everywhere; be it bulls or bears.

However, whether you want to be so opportunistic or simply don't mind enjoying the time ticking by (at times...not all the time thou), the choice is up no-one-else but you and yourself

PhotographyWith the decreasing prices of digital cameras, more and more people are being interested in photography.
Saw this photo from the 'photography' thread of the gossip forum I frequent (yes..even gossip forum also have a thread on photography!)
I especially like the unfocused bits infront as well as that the main attraction is not right smack in the center. What do you think?

Seoul Plastic Surgeon to set up Clinic in Singapore
Wonder what will the charges be like ?
If it is similar to Korea, then maybe should still go there instead. After all, the intend of doing plastic surgery overseas is not so much of being secretive but simply to reduce all the pre/post-procedure kpo non-constructive comments from anyone and everyone. Of course, with the immigration stamp on the passport, one also won't be swamped with such questions from office side - "Take long leave but not going anywhere?"

Steamer
For those who are against usage of microwave ovens, you may want to consider this. Find this very useful, in fact, you can prepare your complete meal at the same time. Simply by making use of the different tiers to prepare your meat, vegetables, even rice!

Aiyo, one same item, but such differing wants/wishes/preferences.

No wonder, we always hear people saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
