Oriental dessert

I love serviced apartments! They're love. And i made use of the kitchenette today! i made some barley and gingko dessert just now. it's dead easy and i'll share the recipe here for you!

Basically this is a serving. a very greddy serving. hahaha!

1 cup of barley, rinsed
1/2 cup of gingko nuts, soaking in water
1/2 cup of lotus seeds, soaking in water
1/2 cup of candied winter melon strips
1/2 cup of rock sugar or to taste
2 screwpine leaves, tied into a knot
a pot of boiling water.

le Directions :
In the pot of water over medium heat, throw in the screwpine leaves, barley, gingko nuts and sugar. Observe the pot. Once it starts to boil, start timing for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, throw in the lotus seeds and boil another further 15 minutes.

That done, leave the pot open and lower the heat to low. Add in the candied melon strips and leave to bowl gently for 30 minutes. Add more water if want it as a really soupy dessert.

Remove the screwpine leave before you serve. You can serve it either hot or cold! yum yums!!

simple right?? well the reason why i love this dessert is because it has awesome beautifying capabilities and it's good for your digestion too!

1. Barley is rich in fibre. it aids in digestion and keeps your bowels moving.
2. Barley is also good for radiant skin. consuming barley regularly helps in regulating blood flow and increases skin radiance over the long run. But of course, if you want to make this a daily affair, do cut back on the sugar okay?
3. Gingko aids in memory enhancement and makes you more quick minded!
4. This dessert is a cooling dessert so it balances your body out if the weather's killing you softly or if you had something very heaty to eat; example curry or something spicy!

enjoy trying!!

Taiwanese Love

lotsa love from taiwan! i touched down at 9am just now! and i just woke up from my nap.. hehe

Saturday 31 March 2012

Just finished posting a huge wad of useful information on nine muses! phew! now that's off my chest, let's get back to business.

How have you been doing? its been ages since i last updated my blog! i know i'm sorry! anyway i got myself a new pair of vintage glasses! it was so pretty and cost me only like five bucks! hehe and what's even funnier is that when i was commuting in the bus just now to meet my friends, a guy came up to me and asked if he could take a picture of me. he said he loved my glasses. i was flattered and agreed. honestly i hate taking pictures of myself. especially when someone else is taking the picture. i'm not really photogenic and i look really fat on print. seriously.. hahaha..

anywho we chatted quite a bit on the bus and it was nice to hear from someone so enthusiastic about glasses and photography. i even missed my original stop just to continue chatting with him! hahaha. i had to alight and take the train back to my original destination. but i don't mind because i had a blast chatting with a total stranger that made my day.

after that pleasant encounter, i met hubs at United Square for some fast food lunch. Burger King!! yummy!! i love BK! especially when it's made fresh right in front of your eyes. its soooo good! we slacked there for a bit and read the papers (a rare occurence) to update ourselves on the going ons in Singapore. After slacking and staring into each other's eyes we decided to move on and had a ciggy outside by the open space. okay. three ciggies. hahahah it was a lovely weather.

that's about it for today!

oh just so you know, i'm leaving DBS for Income. its been great DBS! ill miss the cheap food, great colleagues, cool work hours and the staff gym.. boo hoo!! my last day with the bank is this coming wednesday! goodbye everyone!!!

Nine Muses Timeline

love is like a one way ticket. There's no way back to where you start after you board the train.

The lovely girls from Nine Muses are back with Ticket! love the romantic train journey concept!!! This song, together with News and Figaro, is produced by SweetTune. i'll list them out here for you!

in the meantime, enjoy!



0:48 - Erin (the face of the group)
0:54 - Hyemi (main vocals)
1:04 - Kyungree (main vocals and the newest member)
1:16 - MinHa (vocals and the youngest)
1:24 - Sera (leader and main vocals)
1:59 - HyuNa (main vocals)
2:11 - Sam (main rapper)
2:22 - Eunji (vocals and Main dancer)

News


And the very first song produced by SweetTune for Nine Muses is Figaro. Here, Kyungree was not introduced into the group yet and two members, Bini and Rana, left before they could release Figaro. They wanted to venture more into the modelling scene instead of being music artistes.


Prior to Figaro the girls released Ladies. An upbeat and pop song heavy on bass and guitars. In this song, HyuNa was introduced after Jaekyung left to further pursue her career in modelling instead.


0:26 - Sam (main rapper)
0:33 - Eunji (main dancer and vocals)
0:41 - Hyemi (main vocals)
0:49 - Erin (rapper and vocals)
0:54 - Sera (main vocals)
1:14 - Rana (leader and the main face of the group)
1:33 - MinHa (vocals and the youngest)
1:40 - HyuNa (vocals and the newest member then)
2:06 - Bini (vocals and dancer)

lastly, the group debuted in 2010 with the song No Playboy. This song was written by Park JinYoung of JYP ENT, the company that produced Miss A, 2PM and 2AM. In this song, Jaekyung was still a member of the group.


0:33 - JaeKyung (vocals and visuals)
0:43 - Bini (vocals)
0:54 - Eunji (vocals and main dancer)
1:06 - Sera (main vocals and leader)
1:20 - Minha (vocals and the youngest) this is the ONLY live performance where Minha sings her part. all other performances after this, Minha's part was given to Eunji.
1:30 - Rana (main visuals and vocals)
1:41 - Erin (vocals and rapper)
1:55 - Hyemi (main vocals)
2:24 - Sam (main rapper)

From their very first debut, i'm happy that Star Empire is constantly upgrading the girls and cutting down on the visuals and sub vocals in the group. in their No Playboy days, They had a whopping 6 sub vocalists and only 2 main singers. Now, they boast a stable entourage of 4 main singers and 2 sub vocalists in a group 8 members. A major improvement from what they started out with.

i just hope they continue to improve and work harder in what they enjoy doing and the company exposes them more via cariety shows and such. create some awareness for them! love you so much nine muses! especially HyuNa!! weeeeeee!!! ^^

The Grasshopper and The Ant.

If you procastinate, there's no happiness and no more today again.
The time has slipped away. So, come on and wake you up
Throw away those false hopes. You must be tired if you live fighting and arguing.

Sick of getting used to competition, living inside the same pattern everyday
There's no one to notice you. So, come on and wake you up
Put away those plastic theories. You must get crazy from straightening yourself up in a row.

I just want to sing, clap hands and smile for my life.

This is the echo for a hope to live easy
This is the melody for us to smile
Unreachable happiness is just a mirage.
The world goes round-and-round

Raise your head and there's no one. There's no one above you
Don't need to mind others. So, come on and wake you up
Dancing and hanging loose becomes a sin. Get together here everybody!

No matter what they say, you're way cooler than them. Enjoying yourself is much more awesome.
To me, you look more fabulous, so come on and let me in
When others say this and that, people get tiresome and noisy as if they are that special

I just want to sing, clap hands and enjoy for my life.

Where are you heading for so hurridly? Time goes so quickly.
Let's have a break and leave together. Relax!
Everything goes by so fast and passing by so hurridly
Why don't we sing and play?
Where are you heading for so quickly? Time goes so hastily.
Let's have a break and leave together. Be easygoing!
Everything's going so fast and passing by so hurridly
Why don't we sing together? Please refill the battery!

I've been such a fool in my life, repeating the same cycle over and over again.
All those times have passed and lost. I can't reclaim them anymore.



just so you know, the song is based on Aesop's tale, the Ant and the Grasshopper. Aesop hailed the busy ant stocking up for the cold winter. But the Grassopper has a different story to tell. Its about relaxing in life and not being stressed about everything. enjoy! i really love this song and music video because firstly, this is Sunny Hill. The can sing well. period. hahahahahhaha. enjot them!! this is khairul signing out!
News of breaking up, its finally here oops!! I love you, just stop right here. Eventually the time has come to let you go. You ready? i'm ready, yeah.

I waved my hand, gave you a goodbye kiss and tasted a single tear. Because of this dirty foolishness of not wanting to be caught, i just pretended i was cool. You asked if i'm okay, you pretended not to know and asked again. Do you even think that makes any sense? You ask if i'm okay, well what do you think? are you asking because you really don't know?

You're so typical. You're the same. There's no way you would've changed. You pretend you're so much better till the end. We're so typical. There's no way we would end this well. This break up is such an uproar.

I don't have anything to say to you. Don's come any closer. I hate you! you make me crazy. Eventually the time has come, it's time tyo let you go. I'm ready for this. Yeah!

The anger of swallowing back my tears, is coming up! making me about to cry. You ask if i'm okay, well what do you think? Are you really asking because you don't know?

You're so typical. You're the same. There's no way you would've changed. You pretend you're so much better till the end. We're so typical. There's no way we would end this well. This break up is such an uproar.

Pretend to have it all, pretend to be nice and pretend to be cool.Each moment, each time.. they're lies all lies. Its so unbelievable. So unbelieveable. Hey give me my great goods! give me my great goods!

hey everyone! its already like week two of January 2012! time seriosuly flew by! i've been considering really hard. should i continue Lumine Este? i mean its good that i write entries for my blog and try to update it as regularly as i could but its time consuming and i'd rather have tea and scones to writing. I KNOW! it's so sad!! what do you guys think?

anyway how did you spen New Year's eve? we did what we did every year for the past three years! watch the first sun rise of the year! but this year it was at Sembawang Park.

we were at the park by two in the morning and so thankful that it was so secluded and quiet! we had some supper there and some erm... desserts.. hahahaha. this post is rated R for mature content. it was a great night really. just me and dearest hubby~

as always i dozed off in hubby's arms while waiting for the sun to rise and as always hubby waked me up just in time for the sunrise. it was nice and warm to sleep in his arms out in the open and smell is lovely Yves Saint Laurent fragrance mixed with a hint of tobacco. i wished him happy new year and we kissed as the sun bathed us in its golden rays.

Happy New Year to all and fuck those resolutions!!
