3 Khor's Pineapple & Ham

My aunt enjoys cooking and sometimes when I go over for dinner, she serves her "Pineapple & Ham" dish because she knows that I love it. It is such a simple to prepare (no cooking needed!) recipe, convenient, tasty and good for the whole family. The picture might not look very appetizing but if you like pineapples and meat then do try this recipe sometime...



Ingredients: 1 can of circle shaped pineapple & ham (size and weight up to how much you want to serve for the family)

Instructions: Slice the ham to your preferred thickness. Place 1 piece of pineapple on top of each ham and bake in the conventional oven for 15 minutes and you're done! Enjoy!

A word spoken is past recalling

There's someone dear to me that I deeply care for whom I recently offered some advice. The person was not receptive to my gestures of concern & love and I was even dissed at. Harshly.

Yes, I've heard it before. To err is human; to forgive, divine. We all make mistakes. But sometimes there are so many things to say that are better left unsaid. I myself have had my share of dishing out vengeful, rude and insulting remarks and I continue to do so when I meet really nasty people. But then again, one man's meat is another man's poison so my interpretation of a meanie could be seen as a sweetie from another human... so what right have I to judge?

I find that as I grow, I become more reserved and speak less especially when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. Many a times, I want so badly to hurt, humiliate and torture the other person emotionally rather than physically because it would probably leave him/her traumatized for days. But I remind myself that life is short, that I should make the best out of it and if possible, make this world a better place. I may be one person doing good but a little makes a mickle.

Or perhaps I'm just growing to be a softie!

India

My colleague got married recently and invited me (and my boyfriend) to her wedding in Lucknow, India. On the day that I was scheduled to fly to New Delhi, there were terrorist attacks in Mumbai all over the news. At first, I didn't think much of it but one-by-one, my colleagues and family started calling me and asking me if I was still going to India which got me a little worried. But I went anyway and it was worth it. Here are some pictures that are hopefully, self explanatory.

Bak Kee Tng

This is my favourite food and it's Hokkien too, like me! If you visit Malacca - you simply have to try this. It's one-of-a-kind and so good.

The soup tastes herbal but I can't put a finger to what ingredients (mixture of garlic, star anise, cinnamon sticks and dunno what else) they use. As you can see, there's generous servings of pork and tauhu.	The rice is cooked with yam, fried shallots and it tastes so good - even on its own. It goes perfectly well with the soup. I tried white rice when I was younger - yucks!
The rice is stored in this clay jar. Wonder if it has any effect in making it tastes or smell better...	This place is definitely NOT halal. They serve various parts of the pig - there's liver, intestines, fatty meat, lean meat etc.

Exhilaratingly Funny Video Clip (Hit The Little Man Head)

This is one of my favourite and I think, possibly one of the funniest video clips you might be seeing. Oh but one has to be Asian or speak multi languages to truly understand the essence of the humour. Enjoy!

Mushy but Lovely

See my boyfriend's gtalk status on the left. It's mushy but so sweet. Yes, darling... I love you too!

Totally made my day :)>

1st Night F1 - Live From Singapore

The first ever F1 night race was held in Singapore at the heart of the Central Business District. It is the first time the country has hosted F1 and had seemingly did an excellent job as Briton Mike Bishop, who has been to 55 Grands Prix was quoted as saying "The circuit, the atmosphere, the organisation... it has been brilliant. I’ve been to Monaco a couple of times, and this is definitely better".

All category tickets were sold out and Singaporeans who were too slow in getting their hands on a ticket or those who couldn't afford them (like me), were lined up all along the circuit - trying to catch a glimpse of the race.

Renault’s Fernando Alonso came in first followed by Williams' Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton for McLaren's at third place. Here's our winner:


Whilst watching at home may be comfortable with air-conditioning and lots of food and drinks to enjoy, it just doesn't feel quite the same being at the circuit to watch the race. The sound of the high pitch tyres screeching makes your heart stop and the smell of the burning tyres makes you realise just how face the cars are racing.

MapleStory Car

I wouldn't drive in this car but I was so happy to see it. It's has pictures of monsters from my favourite game, Maplestory.

Things, Things and More Things

When I shifted out of my aunt's house 2 years ago - I had quite a lot of stuff but they could fit into the boot of a car. I guess, that's not too bad for someone who has stayed and worked in Singapore for 5 years. About a month ago, my sister moved out of my aunt's place and I went over to help her with her stuff. Here's how much stuff she had:

She had 14 bags and 1 umbrella. My sister had only been in Singapore for slightly over a year and she was here to study. I noticed that she kept wearing the same clothes so I wonder where all her stuff came from or what they were...

Nokia N95 Sucks!!!

Brand New:


After 1 year's usage:


They used to produce good quality phones. I had a Nokia 8250 that fell from an overhead bridge but it was still fully functional after that. Look at the phones now. The colours on the silver buttons have eroded, showing the inner layers. Even the silver body has shown signs of wear and tear. Nokia has been concentrating on money that they compromise on quality. How upsetting...

Show of Appreciation

Out of the blue, my Manager bought each one of us a little vase of flower as shown:



"Just a little something to show my appreciation for all your hard work. Thank you", she says.

Bread

I'm sure everyone has heard of Gardenia, right? It's like the most popular bread, I think. So imagine my surprise when I saw this the other day:

When I saw the name "Hawaii", it gave me such a strong sense of nostalgia. I remember when I was in primary & secondary school, I used to buy this particular brand of loaf of bread every week. The bread wasn't packaged in plastic, like now. It used to be wrapped in oiled paper (like the kind used for wrapping chicken rice) and the shape came in a rectangular shape. I remember they used to give stickers with the bread too and I would immediately open the wrapper after I buy each loaf. Oh, those good old days.

Now, everything is plastic!

Singapore Flyer

My colleague and I attended a HR (kinda) networking event at the Singapore Flyer today. Many countries have got the giant ferris wheel - first UK then Malaysia and now Singapore. So what's the big deal? For UK and Malaysia, you get to see parts of London and KL. But for Singapore, you see the whole city cause the country is so small! Ha! Ha! Ha! Here are pictures:

It's quite an eyesore, ain't it? All those construction going on... not a very beautiful sight atop the Singapore Flyer.
