Boredom

*so me...my colleagues are away in a way*

Since morning, except from 8:30 - 10:30a.m. which I did Mycoplasma testing, I am doing nothing other than browsing the net as well as doing some light reading on inherited metabolic diseases.

This is my 1st time sitting in the lab with nothing to do. The main reason is that the ISO people (officials who give accredidations to laboratories) came to access the lab today. So, nobody has free time to coach the unexperience me on the diagnostic bench *bored!!!!*

Thank goodness I am being brought up in the environment of the only daughter, so I can entertain myself. But, it's getting abit off handed now *hence, am blogging for no reason* Someone please come along and get me on some experiment *shouts*.

YAWN....ok, back to work!

Uyghur Restaurant

Today, lay sim and I went to Uyghur Restaurant on Prospect Road approximately bus stop 20 to have our dinner. It's a small family run business. However, they have alot of customers mainly people for XinJiang P.R.C. *Well, normally if you see locals-as in their own people, eating at their own hometown restaurant then it should be good right?!!*

This is our second time there and we ordered the Uyghur Kebab, homemade noodle dish with capsicum and chicken (forgot what's the name- start with a g) and uyghur milk tea.

OMG--->> the kebab was ABSOLUTELY delicious!!! Once you eat it you will be hit by the spices, yummy!!!!! Can't stop smiling while eating!

The noodles was great as well! The homemade laghman was so Q...YUMM!!

On the table, they provide a lil pot of chili and the chili was SO GOOD....maybe cuz I love LOVE the garlic taste in it...OMPH!

The milk tea (top picture)--> Initially, I though it was just a normal milk that you and I can even brew it at home. After drinking half the pot, I tasted some sourness in it. I thought I was the only one and suspect it was the taste of my sweat. During the trip home, lay sim and I were both discussing and then it hit us that it was the tea which is sour. The taste is like the Aryan (bottom picture) *homemade Uyghur yogurt drink* which we orders the 1st time we went *in which they sold out today! >.<>

So, the most important think is how do I score the food and the restaurant:

atmosphere: 7/10 *it's kinda uyghur looking but not too sophisticated*

food: 9/10

service: 9/10

Will I recommend it to my friends?

HELL YEA!!

Paranoid?

After work today, when I board my trusty G10 bus, I saw this "weird" guy. I should probably not call him weird as he may have some trauma in life.

Why would I say so?

It's because, when I board the bus *at least in front of me* he was cupping his groin!!!!!!! FOR HEAVENS SAKE, who would cover up their groin in the bus? I cannot help but think that this guy may have suffered from past experiences that tell him to hide his groin from ppl boarding the bus as they may hit you THERE!

I was trying hard to hid my laughter that I have to concentrate so hard on my mp3 player...*hahahaha*.

So guys, do you do that as well? Just curious.....it must be a god damed experience that he must have gone through.....

Piggy's experience of "Alice in Wonderland"

Just watched the movie today and it was GREAT! The graphics were AWESOME....loved loved loved the colourful setting. Oh yea, and I didn't know Anne Hathaway was in the movie as White Queen.

Cornflake Cookies

During CNY I made cornflake cookies, as it was the tradition at home that we make new year biscuits for new year~ The process of make the cornflake cookies was funny as Lay sim was baking as well so we got 6 blocks of butter...a holly 6 blocks!! Never ate or bought that many in one go in 23 years of my life! I got this idea of writing the recipe up here by sumin *arigato!!* Since many were asking for it...will post up the lemon cheese cake recipy later!

Ingredients:

Plain flour 400g

Baking powder 1/2 tsp

Butter 350g

Caster sugar 200g

Egg 2

Vanilla essence 2 drops

Cornflake lightly crushed accordingly (a medium size box will be more than enough)

Things that you need:

Baking sheets *if you don't you will have to line your baking tray with butter*

Baking trays

*remember to get the ones that would suit the size of your oven.....just got to know recently that there are different sizes of ovens and different sizes of trays to suit. CUZ I got a larger tray

thinking that I can back faster......sigh...it was too big for my oven!! So, the new tray is currently sitting in the pantry doing nothing.*

Mixer

Balance

Measuring cups/spoons

Mixing bowl

Spatula

Container/bowl *to put crushed cornflakes...personally, I prefer a box with flat bottom*

Sieve

Protocol (XD)

1. Cream Butter and sugar till light and fluffy

2. Add in the eggs and vanilla essence and continue beating till blend

3. Fold in the sieved flour and baking powder *this means: you have to use your hand to mix the flour and batter light handedly*

Now you have the dough. Mind you that the dough will not be as hard as a cake dough!

4. Roll the dough into lil balls *approximately the size of a 20 cents(Oz size)*

5. Then, roll the ball dough into the crushed cornflakes coating the batter.

6. Place the dough onto the baking tray *pre-lined* and flat it out a little. Remember to leave some space in between the dough as it will get bigger during baking.

7. Bake at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes *the backing time vary with the type of oven

you have. DO NOT use too high a temperature as the cookie will not be cooked and

it will burn!!!!!!!*

TADAAA.....you now have your cookies!!! Let it cool before placing the cookies into containers ^.^

Hope you enjoy the recipe!!
