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.
