A Day To Remember...

I guess i shall get myself back on track. Things happened over the past week and i realised that one has to really think for thyself. Got to start thinking of thyself. That's about it for today.
Have been cutting down on dota-ing. Found new interests in a game Diablo II.

Sentimental ~ Words of a Broken Heart...

As i moved toward a foreign land,
my heart is at the other end.
Being left alone bleeding and hurt,
cut by the words and things i heard.

When she said she no longer cares,
a crack appeared, one heartbreaking tear.
When she said i love you but not to my ears,
i broke down in despair.

Tried to face my own fears,
but to find myself in tears.
Tried to be strong,
yet got it all wrong.

Tried to wish her all the best, ~.......
Tried to do all the right things, ~......

It's pointless to even try,
for i will end up hiding a corner to cry.
I hope the tears would stop flowing,
as i know it's my own agony.

Chocolate Banana Roll !!!

Haha Chocolate Banana Roll~!!!! That will rock your taste-buds!!!




Now have yet to try out the "Ultimate Banana Tempura"

:D~

Month of April = )

Been spending quite some money this week...
Firstly, i bought a recipe book which costs around $18/-... It's a dessert book... what tempted me to buy this book was, the "chocolate banana roll". I hope i'm able to spend sometime over this coming weekends to fulfill my long time wish... It's been my dream to make/bake/cook food... But being lazy in nature, i alway find myself doing nothing over the weekends... I shall try to push myself over this coming weekends...

Secondly, as my birthday is around the corner, i bought myself a present... A present which i thought for quite some time before purchasing... with the help of ahbui over the past weeks, asking him of the good places with best bargains... Hahaa, i finally bought a watch which i thought over the months... It cost me two hundred over bucks... and i think it's worth the price tag...

Maybe it's because my birthday i near, i tend to spend abit more money than usual... Very unlike me... I don't really spend so much money at one go unless i have to spend or something which i like(very unlikely) even for the things i like, i will give some thought to it before buying by first, considering the price and the "value" of the thing/s which i'm buying... That's me :)

Below are the pictures of the 2 items which i have spent... To me, they are good investments :)
I hope i'll be able to make the chocolate banana roll and upload some pictures :)

Item number 1:
















Item number 2:



:D

Banana Tempura

Yes, this is my very first blog on food... hahaa...
I am currently reading a magazine which i just opened from the mailbox... It's the appetite magazine which advertises/showcase some of the high end food and stuff like that... As a matter of fact, it's not a magazine which caters for me because i don't earn much and don't really able to afford the food they show... Inevitably, i know they will showcase of how to prepare food... afterall, it's appetite, you can't just showcase some famous good food without telling people, hey you buy my magazine just for the food location stuff like that right? Hahaa... Yes and this issue, what caught my eye is this Banana Tempura inside the notebook FOODIENOSH!!!

It says,
First, Peel and slice two "firm" and ripe bananas into 2cm thick, preferably 2 to 3.5cm... not too thick or thin...
You need to mix an egg and 2 Tablespoon of milk in a bowl - and i shall call it the egg milkar...
Now lightly dredge the "cut" banana pieces in some flour ~ Not so sure what kind of flour, but i guess it's just the tempura flour? and quickly dip them into the egg milkar...
Afterwhich, quickly coat the egg milkar banana pieces with tempura flakes!!!! And now time to throw them into some fryer!!!! OH YEAH!!! Seems easy!!! =D~ Definitely yummy for a simple dish....
And hahaa, here's the catch, they didn't really teach you on how to deep fry the stuff right? First on your stove and let the oil heat up... Wait for at least 5mins for the oil to be very hot... To test that the oil is ready for frying, put abit of the platter, and it turns golden brown immediately, it's ready for frying : )

Things you need for the above dish, the banana tempura aka eggmilkar banana
1) Bananas ( a must) ~ Choose those that are firm and yellow green in color.
2) Tempura Flakes (must) ~ Or else there won't be any tempura effect. You want crispy right?
3) An Egg
4) Should be Full Cream Milk
5) Normal Flour

Question about yellow green banana ~ Best to buy yellow green banana on one of the weekdays if you intend to make the eggmilkar banana over the weekends. So by the time it's weekend, it's yellow color as a whole instead of over-yellowish bananas!!!! Unless you intend to make it tonight, buy those that are already in yellow color!!! Heeheee~~~ Yup Up ~~

Sadness, grief, pain & anger!!!

You can Shed Tears by David Harkins

You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile because he lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
or you can be full of the love that you have shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and lived yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

A Poem For David and all Grieving Dads

It must be very difficultTo be a man in grief.
Since men don't cryand are supposed to be "strong".
No tears can bring relief
It must be very difficult
to stand up to the test
And field calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They'll always ask if she's all right
and what she's going through
But seldom would one take his hand
and ask 'My friend, but how are you?'
He hears her crying in the night
and feel his heart will break
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But stays 'strong' for her sake.
It must be very difficult
to start each day anew
And try to be so very brave
For this baby that they lost
was his very precious baby too.

Something i read which interests me....

Was reading up a book, and came across this,

"For us adults, drawing is a gift reserved for a special few. Some people draw, some write, some think, some drive a truck. This kind of specialization, the division of tasks into categories, leads to the fragmentation of human beings life become limited."

I have been pondering about after reading this sentence. Is it true that when we grow up, we see and know more things and tend to hold back for fear of something?
The author says something like, "If i were to give you a pencil and ask you to draw something, 'Just anything', what will your blank piece of paper be? And if i were to give a child of 5years of age, once i handed the child a pencil and a piece of paper, the child will take the pencil and started drawing..."

Is it true that we will turn more evil as we aged?
