Hello everyone! It's certainly been a while now hasn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I was preparing some party <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="01125c49-19b3-4634-aa72-478e6fa5fcab" id="3ab0e3c5-9fe1-4092-b690-a0e85d339607">favours</span> for a doe party and the party's theme was regency time period. Think Pride and Prejudice and any Jane Austen novel/movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regency = old times in England, ladies had governesses and men went to Eton. Pretty fancy in my opinion. I was really cracking my head over what kind of party <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f94a084a-16d0-49aa-b4c7-143970b739f1" id="6bbb893b-65f7-439d-bbd1-ce9dc8e9af3a">favours</span> to prepare and then I chanced upon this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/jhninL_G3Fg/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/jhninL_G3Fg&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/jhninL_G3Fg&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not exactly recency period, but I'm pretty sure flowers were sold by poor children and the well off people would sometimes buy a small posy of flowers out of whim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gAc-AOwmMq4/VBk_htlcAII/AAAAAAAAAgU/L-RMG43NhxQ/s1600/20140917_120756%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gAc-AOwmMq4/VBk_htlcAII/AAAAAAAAAgU/L-RMG43NhxQ/s1600/20140917_120756%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" style="cursor: move;" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought it would be a good idea to give my guests cute little posies of flowers and roses was a very popular flower during the regency period because creating hybrid roses was considered a 'sport' back then and people would try to breed as many different kinds of roses.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-TI1FoS_l4/VBk_no4bCxI/AAAAAAAAAgc/2g8mNQ86bH0/s1600/20140917_120835%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8-TI1FoS_l4/VBk_no4bCxI/AAAAAAAAAgc/2g8mNQ86bH0/s1600/20140917_120835%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The idea was just too cute and there is a shop near my home, which sells beautiful fake flowers for a good price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EfsuStMw0DM/VBk_tNxhEuI/AAAAAAAAAgk/XpY3QZRdvM8/s1600/20140917_121018%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EfsuStMw0DM/VBk_tNxhEuI/AAAAAAAAAgk/XpY3QZRdvM8/s1600/20140917_121018%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They actually sold foam type fake flowers, which I chose over plastic and satin because they look much better compared to satin and plastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Foam flowers also have this kind texture which is not as stiff as plastic yet not as soft as satin which makes it keep its form better yet still look soft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a kind of natural look to them and from far away, I think they look pretty realistic :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stems were thin and soft wires which were easy to manipulate, but once bunched up, it made a pretty sturdy stem.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrapping the stems with florist tape (which the store also sold) gave the posies a more polished finish as well as to prevent people from getting poked by the thin wires</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that I decorated each posy with organza cloth and ribbons to make it all girly and pretty. Initially, I was going to make them all the same, but then I couldn't decide how to decorate it. In the end, each posy has a different pattern. <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="77b0befa-ca23-463c-9551-9041072ea040" id="f80f7776-a96c-46d1-9d2d-5d4b74585892">Haha</span>!</div>

Hi everyone! I will have to apologize for such a late post today! I <strike>conveniently</strike> accidentally forgot that I had a staff meeting today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Initially I wanted to make peach pie for this post, but due to really bad traffic, I reached home really late and was unable to make the pie. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All set and ready to go. Story time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the cool darkness of the night, I sat on the terrace facing the garden. The sound of the stream flowing and the wind blowing gently through the wind chimes was soothing. Sad and lonely even. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sitting on the terrace on a full moon night always brought back memories of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, yet she seemed unattainable. I was a simple archer and she was a palace maid. Nevertheless, the opportunity arose for me to win her hand in marriage and with my simple archery skills I had her, but all too soon she slipped through my fingers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If only I did not let the fame and popularity get to my head, then she would not have to experience the fear and anxiety of the pill falling into the wrong hands. It's too late now. She's gone and it was my own folly that brought it about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On full moon nights like this I wonder is she thinks of me or even remembers me. Will lighting up these lanterns help her so see me down here?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chang'e I miss you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone! I know this story is a little bit sad and solemn but it's my interpretation of what a sequel of the story of the moon lady would be. This is the original story (The story of Chang'e and Hou Yi) which I'm referring too (<a href="http://www.chinahighlights.com/festivals/mid-autumn-festival-story.htm" target="_blank">original story</a>) This is a story about the mid autumn moon festival</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Mid Autumn Festival everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eat lots of moon cake with Chinese tea and light up some lanterns!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't pray to the moon lady (Chang'e) it's just a folklore which accompanies the festival for me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!</div>

Nothing as pampering as a good self pedicure session! I personally feel that I neglect my feet a lot despite all the hard work they have to do with making me mobile.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's Friday again! What better way to start of the day than to have your favorite breakfast food?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't really have a favorite breakfast food. It's a game of roulette in my brain minutes before I wake up and whatever food on the list gets chosen will be The Favored Breakfast of The Day.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's Favored Breakfast of The Day: Over peppered sunny side up egg and cheese sandwich</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIL2LHOfkrw/U__fkHde1AI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Pb0BCqdRUNE/s1600/20140829_073856%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIL2LHOfkrw/U__fkHde1AI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Pb0BCqdRUNE/s1600/20140829_073856%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could only capture my over peppered (I love pepper) egg because I was so hungry I ate my sandwich immediately after I assembled it. (You're not really missing out much, it didn't look that great anyway. Neither does my egg)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than sunny side egg and cheese sandwich, I love ICE-CREAM, but I love HOMEMADE ICE-CREAM even more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do I even need to tell you how much more delicious homemade ice-cream is compared to commercially made ones? OF COURSE NOT!</div>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Grease your baking tray or line it with baking paper</li>
</ul>
<div>
4) Clear a large enough surface for kneading the flour</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Finally, some action!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
5) Make sure your hands are clean and your fingernails trimmed</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Obviously, for hygiene reasons. Especially trimming nails...</li>
</ul>

<div>
<b><u>Let's get on with the show!</u></b></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
1) Place flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into the cold mixing bowl and mix till combined</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m1dxxMZKenM/U_R3hsw9LyI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/Vf9Q2JjLhG4/s1600/20140820_153846%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m1dxxMZKenM/U_R3hsw9LyI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/Vf9Q2JjLhG4/s1600/20140820_153846%5B1%5D.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
2) Throw in the cubed butter and, using your hands (you can use a pastry cutter but I like using my hands) break up the butter and mix with the flour until a bread crumb texture is achieved.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SVPyCwf78kE/U_R3m6bjfkI/AAAAAAAAAaE/46srEy-ZsVY/s1600/20140820_154457%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SVPyCwf78kE/U_R3m6bjfkI/AAAAAAAAAaE/46srEy-ZsVY/s1600/20140820_154457%5B1%5D.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Your mix should look like this (this step is totally not long nailed friendly, hence, trim them)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4iQ_K3-b_ag/U_R3pVj3mdI/AAAAAAAAAaM/crAEIyxC4_c/s1600/20140820_154513%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4iQ_K3-b_ag/U_R3pVj3mdI/AAAAAAAAAaM/crAEIyxC4_c/s1600/20140820_154513%5B1%5D.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3) Pour milk into the beaten egg and mix till combined<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--gPe2tCBRtU/U_R4IuvGazI/AAAAAAAAAas/dLTlmLJb3Rg/s1600/20140820_154659%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--gPe2tCBRtU/U_R4IuvGazI/AAAAAAAAAas/dLTlmLJb3Rg/s1600/20140820_154659%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
4) Make a well in the mix and pour milk and egg mixture into the well. Mix until you get a gooey mess.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>At this point you might think the gooey mess is a mistake, but <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">DON'T PANIC!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> I</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">t's</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> all part of the plan.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DkarIR3S804/U_R4Kr4j-7I/AAAAAAAAAa0/w2Q3oTPrmEA/s1600/20140820_154958%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DkarIR3S804/U_R4Kr4j-7I/AAAAAAAAAa0/w2Q3oTPrmEA/s1600/20140820_154958%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
5) Flour your surface generously, much <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e8665445-c56a-4722-8ad3-01d40a986c08" id="9a5bde86-52cb-4e0a-b3af-b0e4bfd02fb1">more generously</span> than I did please!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aEkmJgcbUzk/U_R4QCNUTuI/AAAAAAAAAa8/bwIdq88XAKg/s1600/20140820_155052%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aEkmJgcbUzk/U_R4QCNUTuI/AAAAAAAAAa8/bwIdq88XAKg/s1600/20140820_155052%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gooey mess FTW!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
6) Scoop out the gooey mess onto the floured surface and knead away!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TSWtxNf1Mdk/U_R4iZFLZPI/AAAAAAAAAbM/sEKZgwrREvo/s1600/20140820_155615%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TSWtxNf1Mdk/U_R4iZFLZPI/AAAAAAAAAbM/sEKZgwrREvo/s1600/20140820_155615%5B1%5D.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
7) Feel free to add more flour as you knead and shape it into 1 and a 1/2 inch (approximate) and you're ready to cut<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TYFfFIWnWrM/U_R4kUFbRyI/AAAAAAAAAbU/ybI2_xZvwZc/s1600/20140820_162259%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TYFfFIWnWrM/U_R4kUFbRyI/AAAAAAAAAbU/ybI2_xZvwZc/s1600/20140820_162259%5B1%5D.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8) You can use a scone cutter but if you don't a straight glass will do the trick! Flour the cup thoroughly and press down into the flour to create round cuts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Optional: egg wash, use a basting brush to brush on <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="075b0eb5-12e1-497f-a306-94c5b9dd96e5" id="15efa915-0d03-4caf-b75d-d7caa53ac727"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4007a054-06b8-4b44-9560-e65945f0a613" id="e263fc7d-773b-4cfe-976a-71a0b758c07d">beaten</span></span> egg onto the top of the unbaked scones</li>

9) Pop them into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.<br />

10) Serve with butter and jam (and clotted cream if it's available!) And now you're done!<br />

Hey! </div>
So, it's been a while since I last posted and... I would just like to say I'm really sorry for always being so <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="44111856-734a-447d-b706-1bbc4847b7b2" id="7b1f7017-3111-4721-ad6f-ba97ebb2d10d">inconsistant</span>, but I SWEAR I ONLY DID IT FOR A GOOD CAUSE!!<br />
<br />
So, "what is this good cause?" you ask me. The title says it all! Short story time!<br />
<br />
Once upon a time in a far away land where the people lived in trees with wifi and cable tv, lived a young woman by the name of Asia <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ed65c043-93df-4236-acc1-866cfe98c982" id="f8d542c7-f1fa-4491-83b3-892f749bf273">Colion</span>. She once valiantly vowed to update her blog as frequent as 3 days a week and kept her promise for a few months. She posted about food, fun, crafty shenanigans and a sprinkling of her daily life, but as time went by, she enrolled into a university to further improve her shallow and tiny mind.<br />
<br />
As time went by, the number of her postings decreased and stopped altogether and she broke her promise. You must be thinking what an awful person she is to break a promise she had made, but the reasons on why she broke her promise was not known to the world. She was engaged in a battle, a battle too horrific to recount! A battle of mind and body with the darkest enemies of humankind!<br />
<br />
Procrastination!<br />
<br />
Alas! That was but only one major enemy! She battled against Priorities, Time Management, Stress, Academic Text, Unreasonable Assignments, The Nasty Lecturer (This one was a real tough one!), Insomnia and many others which were just as devastatingly evil. The constant assault of the evils wore her thin till she could no longer find inspiration to blog. The battle lasted for 3 years with no <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9c40a1ea-900a-487f-a05e-829bc2c85975" id="b3c129de-22b5-48b8-845c-b117ea1e9abe">cease</span> to the attacks, but at last she emerged from the battle victorious!<br />
<br />
Full of remorse for breaking her promise, she has returned to blogging fearing that all is lost and that nobody would ever want to read her blog ever again and this time she will be facing even more devastating evils, Evils which she has never faced before: Work Life. She begs for forgiveness and hopes that everyone will understand the inconsistencies of her posts. She also invites everyone to follow her battles in the coming near future if they can bear with the inconsistencies.<br /><br />So yeah, story of my life in a nutshell. I've graduated but I'll reserve that for another post!<br />
To be honest, I really had a lot of fun writing this and I do hope you had fun reading it!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

( No, this is not a resolution post)Well hello there, it most certainly has been awhile since my last post. Let's just say that the workload became rather insane but then again that is part of being a school of education student. We always joke that it's one of the best weight (and hair) loss programs in the world! Exaggerated? No, we kid you not!<br />
<br />
Anyway, enough griping. I just want to wish all you bloggers and readers out there a Happy New Year 2013a for the superstitious and 2014 for those who are not :)<br />

I also don't really have time to make stuff anymore so Wooly Wednesdays will be posted only when I have time to post.<br />
<br />
I know you feel sad because I am partly devastated! I say partly because I actually really enjoy my lesson even if it does take a lot of time and energy from me. I feel that it's totally worth it and I'm willing to invest all this time and effort into it!<br />
<br />
Don't miss me too much! I will still be posting on Monday's and Friday's as usual. In fact I have some cool stuff lined up for Friday! Wait for it, people!! Really sorry about having to stop posting on Wednesday's!<br />

It is pretty fun if I don't think of it as work. I really need to change my mindset planning a four day English program should be fun by right? Right?!? <br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't do this for health reasons. I'm healthy-<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="6b972309-c3e3-4d14-89a9-2c8a8db31d0a" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="4d86561f-6838-4b92-bd4f-306c2eff44ba" grcontextid="ish:0">ish</span> and have no allergies to dairy or gluten product. It's just an excuse for me to eat more veggies because, have I ever mentioned that I love veggies? I LOVE THEM!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, vegetarian food available in Malaysia has imitation meat which contains a lot of flavoring and additives to give it a similar taste of meat<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="9a09634b-0dfe-4594-8947-b213c40cf339" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="8ac68ced-2a1f-44d2-8b10-b49014989f81" grcontextid=".:0">.</span>Not to mention can sometime be very overpriced.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No offense to vegetarians, but I'm honestly and sincerely confused as to why you eat imitation meat? Could someone please enlighten this poor uncultured soul?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on, so I usually eat tofu and eggs to sub proteins but recently, I came across a bag of dried soya beans. I bought it thinking I would make soya milk (which I will) but it's really rather a lot of soya beans.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OSGYzucZjUM/UkEaGd8TcTI/AAAAAAAAAY8/d1nJFAhyML4/s1600/Photo0456.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OSGYzucZjUM/UkEaGd8TcTI/AAAAAAAAAY8/d1nJFAhyML4/s320/Photo0456.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then it hit me! I could use soya beans as a protein substitute as well! Thus this blog post was born (fanfares and grand music!)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1aKTgLaHP8E/UkEaGNbfcDI/AAAAAAAAAY0/RQr2GmhzK-g/s1600/Photo0455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1aKTgLaHP8E/UkEaGNbfcDI/AAAAAAAAAY0/RQr2GmhzK-g/s320/Photo0455.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
To use dry soya beans, you need to re-hydrate them by soaking them for 8 hours at least. I just soaked them overnight. Pop them into a bowl with enough water to cover two times the amount of soya beans and say goodnight.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next day, your soya beans should look like the one on the right (double the size). The one on the left is a dry bean.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I wanted to use these beans as minced meat so i gave them a little roast in the over for about 10 minutes to get that chewy meat texture<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pop them into a grinder and.....<br />

Voila! soya bean pulp. Now go and do what ever you want with it. Search for recipe's using soy bean pulp or okara.<br /><br />I think I'll use this to make okara cookies next time!<br /><br />Asia Colion</div>

Being a Malaysian Chinese, I feel that I have probably lost huge chunks of my Chinese culture.<br />
<br />
In fact, I always tell my mother that I'm very Westernized from my speech (mah Chinese is so broken ya can't fix it back together! <strike>Yo mama jokes</strike>) to my dressing.<br />
<br />
Mainly for practicality, Malaysian Chinese don't wear cheongsam's and samfoo's. It's too hot here.<br />
Also, My lecturer insists that it was the Manchurian's who wore them. <strike>But aren't they a Chinese tribe too!?!?</strike><br />
<strike><br /></strike>
Not to mention, I originate from a big-ish city (Petaling Jaya) where you don't greet your neighbors because the uncles and aunties just stare at you grumpily in response when you do<strike>, talk about extinguishing a behavior!</strike> Let's just say, our community life is rather non-existent.<br />
<br />
However, during the mid-autumn festival, we do send mooncakes to our relatives and friends. I'm so un-Chinese, I don't know why we do it but we do...I think its kind of like an Chinese thanksgiving where we give it to people to say thanks for being around! or something...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong because I most probably am. Haha!<br />

Just in case you get the feeling that I'm completely smug about the fact that I don't know much about my culture. I am not! In fact I'm super embarrassed about it and I'm working on it! I promise!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, enough chatter about me and on to the exciting(or at least I thought it was exciting) part!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went out with two lovely girls for dinner/supper last night at a shop in a small town called Broga and people of Broga town just congregated at this community hall and were celebrating mid-autumn festival with <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">flair</span></i></b>!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was seriously amazing!I mean the whole town, everyone chatting together and having fun...its just blows my puny little big city person mind (I'm not contradicting myself, read that again if you must :P) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some not so good quality pictures that I somehow managed to catch with my phone. I'm apologize about that but they were walking on the streets together and I was just too amazed and surprised.</div>

There was this awesome feeling of community which I probably never or hardly experienced before and it just makes me feel all warm, fuzzy, and happy inside. I really hope that, one day, I too will be able to find and live in such a harmonious community.<br />

<br />
I saw these really cute doorknob covers which are actually to stop children from opening doors and hurting themselves (or something to that effect)<br />
<br />
But they were so cute and I thought to myself I could use it for aesthetic reasons (I love pretty things a lot!)<br />
<br />

If you live in a cold country and hate touching cold doorknobs you could probably do this in a less lacy pattern to give you something warm and soft to touch when opening doors. Just a suggestion. :)<br />

Hence, I will have a healthy dinner TOMORROW! (Procrastinators unite!)<br />
<br />
So, my hands smell like garlic and I find that rather yucky but at least I won't have to cut garlic for a long time. Why ?<br />
<br />
The trick for cooking which I use to reduce my cooking time is to pre-chop my garlic and store them in cooking oil then put it in the fridge.<br />
<br />
It's completely safe! I have been doing this for the whole of my previous semester and I did not have any stomach discomfort nor did Sienna. (My ex-roomie and the person with the lacy purple scarf)<br />
<br />
After all you only need two things: Garlic and oil (<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="b7e2e15c-c0df-4839-9b34-a59b7856abad" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="a7a72c6d-c7d3-4a04-9f61-14744a630205" grcontextid="prefably:0">prefably</span> not <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="a95bc6b0-c199-4d60-b94d-38511e3fa089" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="a7a72c6d-c7d3-4a04-9f61-14744a630205" grcontextid="olive:1">olive</span> because you can't heat olive oil too much or it will be bad for your health.) I used vegetable oil<span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="3d6737f9-d558-4142-aa46-2baaf0b38b7f" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="a7a72c6d-c7d3-4a04-9f61-14744a630205" grcontextid="(:2">(</span>Palm oil, I think.)<br />
<br />
How I did it?<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Crush and peel garlic</li>
<li> Chop garlic finely</li>
<li>Put in an air tight glass jar (or clean old pasta sauce bottles)</li>
<li>Fill jar with oil till you cover the garlic</li>
<li>Put in fridge</li>
</ol>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see the oil solidifies. This is completely normal and a good thing! Reason?</div>
<div>
You can now control the amount of oil you use without accidentally pouring out too much into the pan while cooking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You also get Garlic infuse oil. How do we use it now that we have a jar full of garlic in oil?

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Grab a spoon</li>
<li>Scoop out the amount of oil garlic mixture</li>
<li>Drop into warm pan </li>
<li>Fry garlic till golden brown</li>
<li>Stir fry vegetable/meat<br /><span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="0a1bcd7e-28fa-492d-a50c-5d509fa2d5e8" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="70972c4c-137b-474a-b908-6d4e1d3cf9b8" grcontextid="or:0">or</span></li>

<i>It's Friday, I'm in love.</i></div>
<br />So I decided to do something mainstream today. Purely because I have run out of hipster ideas but the hipster in me lives still! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm one of those people who are never current with movies. Honestly, I'm not really bothered about it unless I'm hanging out with movie buffs ( Half of the time I feel like I am.) So I watched Mary Poppins today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mary-poppins-four.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mary-poppins-four.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have never watched it in your entire life, you SHOULD. I know it's old but you know old is gold. In addition to Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews, you're in for a good feel good time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spoilers if you haven't watched but it's still a pretty cool video<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's all for today. I'm totally out of ideas on what next to blog on Fridays and I'm open to suggestions! Do let me know what you'd like to read about on Fridays. :)<br /><br />Asia Colion</div>

The funny story starts here.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before I was requested to wrap wontons, I was chatting with a friend when I told him:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Me: Hey I have to go wrap some WANTONS. <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="f00a6623-b86a-47d6-96e0-460264647c83" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="eb186531-e716-43c7-b73e-35e2a753dde4" grcontextid="brb:0">brb</span><br />
Friend: Wrap wantons? What? <br />
Noun: A sexually immodest or promiscuous woman<br />
???<br />
<br />
And of course when I came back I had the laugh of my life although I'm not really sure he found it funny.</div>
<div>
Anyway, I explained to him what <span class="GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct" ginger_sofatware_markguid="d333ef7b-1336-4590-87bd-6611b6208c73" ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid="63628f41-3c7d-46df-9fe3-02cca2736f70" grcontextid="i:0">i</span> meant and that in Cantonese we pronounce is as "wan tan" like "Wan tan mee." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gosh! Imagine what he must have been thinking while I was wrapping wontons clueless-ly!!<br />
<br />
Asia running around the red-light district like a maniac and wrapping clothes around immodest women while screaming at them: REPENT AND DRESS MODESTLY!!<br />
<br />
Then dashing on to the next woman and leaving a trail of havoc in my wake! So much fun and excitement!<br />
<br />

I wish for adventure and excitement in my life so I can only dream about it for now. I hope you had a good laugh with this post! :D</div>

Do let me know if you've ever encountered funny moments from a misunderstanding. Spread the laughter ;)<br />

The other half belongs to my sister. Some people may think that's so little clothes other would think it's a lot of clothes. Well I think it's TOO MUCH clothes! It's been a nightmare. So this Friday, I'm gonna have myself some tea time therapy!<br />

What's tea time therapy? Guys probably won't understand this but if you ever want to make a girl happy, this <u>might</u> (all girls are different after all) help.<br />

All you need is some tea and pastries. If you have cute tablecloth, cups and teapots WHY NOT?! Just go for it!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is something just charming about having tea time by yourself if you set it up nicely. It doesn't have to be elaborate. I don't know how others feel about it but to me, it's like having a tea party without having to go through the small talk (I'm not very good at it that's why) and major preparation and clean up. All in all, I find this fun and therapeutic (very relaxing to just sit down and drink tea for no reason). </div>
