wednesday, 25th oktober

W is for wednesday and for WOW. because i have been constant.

today, i shall demonstrate.
How to Make a nice cuppa~

Well, this method is the French Press method, not the socks method so all you YaKoon fans, keep the socks!

of course, lay your hands on a french press, otherwise known as the plunger. mine's a Bodum. just nice for ONE cup.
next, get yourself some decent coffee beans. whole beans. then get the coffee guys to grind the beans for french press use. not espresso, not drip. get only certain types of beans that goes well with the plunger.

then, add in the coffee powder as to how hard you want the coffee to kick you later. i am putting about 4 teaspoon.

water. hot water.

fill her up.



while waiting for the coffee to infuse, put your precious beans back into the freezer. or fridge. this keeps the coffee from losing its flavour. make sure your container is air tight. reason one, you don't want the coffee to lau hong. reason two, you don't want the fridge/freezer to smell of coffee, neither do you want all your food to smell the same. reason three, you don't want your coffee to absorb the smells that goes on and on in the fridge. coffee powder absorbs smells really well. on the other hand, you can use coffee to absorb bad smells, like the way people put a cut lemon inside.

oh i forgot to mention, the temperature of the water should be 98degC. if you boil the water in a kettle, let the water rest for about 30seconds before using it.

when a few minutes have passed, your coffee is almost ready! stir it

cover

and plunge away! gently please. in case the liquid spills.

ah ha. add sugar and milk in your cup accordingly and pour the coffee out.

-the end-

brekfast- toasted colored bread with margarine

let us proceed to lunch.

lunch was late. 220pm.

bkfish, fries and barley. meal upsize just give me regular fries. auntie at the counter said, then just upsize your drink. 20cents more. that is LARGE drink, cos BK now do not carry Small sized drinks anymore, only medium and large.

back to the office. back to work.

snack time at 430pm.

finished my pack of Banana Choco. meiji chocolates. locally purchased.

as for the other snack you see, i didnt eat it in the end. can you see the OTHER snack in the background? on the left. the 'chinese new year love letter'. i ate that instead.

dinnertime! cravings for jap.

sea eel tempura. tuna belly sushi. mmmmmmm....

garlic fried rice. iced green tea.

so much nonsense i ate today, i finished the day with my favourite drink. beer of the day is Singha.

burp.

feed me tuesday

tuesday, 24th octoober.

sleepy morning.
zzzz.

breakfast by Mr.Chan, as you can see in the corner. yes, wheatbread again. same loaf as monday's. plus sausage. his version of hotdog.
now you can see the lovely extra dark french coffee swirling in the bodum. yay. of course, just ignore all the weird stuff in the background, car.ice cream cups etc...




aiyah! totally forgot about lunch until i finished it and walked back to the office. so no pics here. smoked salmon sandwich, toasted. with salad and iced coffee. courtesy of ikari-san, thank you. it was delicious but i don't like my sandwich toasted because the crust becomes tough and drops all over the plate. coffee club at market street carpark. they were very enthu about the set lunch, 11.90, sandwich plus coffee/tea. i asked for iced version and were told to add 1.75. didn't know ice cost that much now.


teatime! literally. i seldom drink tea unless it is teh peng. or bubble tea. or ocha.
darjeeling tea, from a guest from india. the tea leaves came in a silver foil bag and stuffed in a nice wooden box. i am keeping the box. ;p



oh, how can you not have snacks with tea. raided the pantry.
japanese crackers from japan, shikoku island. bought by big boss.
nice packaging as all jap snacks. sweet, tasted exactly like those chinese new year love letters, except these are the thick (and rectangle) version.




no where to go, so headed home. chose between cup-a-udon (or should it be cup-an-udon) and cup-a-curry-noodle.
the temptation of green curry won but was just being a sucker for the soup. no ingredients anywhere. okay, not so healthy.



Mr.Chan came home and offered me his colonel sanders' whipped potato (which used to taste muchmuchmuch better about ten years ago) plus coleslaw from his take-away meal.
oh plus pepsi cola 123.
in the red cup, the crystal one contains flowers, the wooden one is some massage thingey.




actually i am hungry now.
but i think i'll sleep.

feed me monday

almost forgot to take pict as you can see the food's half eaten...





dinner time!
oops. left out the drink.
drive-thru MAC. 20pcs nuggets, large fries, large iced lemon tea. okay i did not eat everything. split the meal with linabanana. hey it rhymes. ha!

found in meidi-ya.
oh and little yummylicious grape konnyaku/jelly.



okay. that's it for tonight.
good night people!

me and what i eat

i have decided to keep track of what i eat.

'oh.. that's good, so you want to go on a diet?' said marie.

no lah. not that kind. i would not be bothered to count my calories. i think if i do that, i wouldn't have enough fingers to count with.

what i am going to do, is. to picture ALLLL stuff that i eat/drink for this week. boring huh? maybe.

we'll see.

left right brain

saw this article.
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22556281-661,00.html

i do not know how to put this on the blog but nonetheless, please go to the original site and have a look.

you will see this lady spinning like nobody's business.
accordingly, you will EITHER see her spinning clockwise or anticlockwise. then this will determine how you use your brain, if you have one.

for me, she spins clockwise so i am a right brainer (yay i have some brains!)
then they say you can try to see the other direction which took me some time. then WHOA! okay... i get it. anticlockwise.

okay, now i think i am drunk. cos she spins in all direction but mostly clockwise.

what about you? tell me!!!

amazing
