What I cooked these days

All day breakfast challenge comes from the egg. How to make it fluffy n soft like what you get out there? The secret is to use a non stick pan heated w butter and add milk and butter to your eggs before pouring to the pan!

Japanese curry is really a no brainer but tad too salty from the mixture pack.

Korean ramen taste the best with more spicyness to the sauce and please add kimchi to it.

High Tea @ Arteastiq


The long weekend last week, I went for high tea with the girls :) 

Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery




The high tea set for 2 cost $48++ and comes with 2 drinks and a tower of snacks. 





The ice cream tea wasn't as nice as the original tea :(


This place didn't fare as well as the other high tea places I have been to.

I recently picked up some simple culinary skills to curb my nonsense cravings. Maybe I'll share the pics some day.

Windows 7 cannot download exe files or install applications!

I'm currently using a 13 inch netbook from ASUS and surprisingly, this lightweight baby can do many amazing things like run adobe photoshop. I'm really glad that I bought this tiny machine for my daily simple computer usage e.g. watch videos, backup iphone, transfer photos and surf the net.

The only application I couldn't run on this machine was probably photoscape, but that's fine not to use.

Several months back I had issues installing online video streaming programs but I just left that at the back of my mind and skipped watching them. I've been researching on this problem on and off through this week, and I got on to try the solutions yesterday.

There are so many online guides that state about changing registry, but please don't do that until you have tried the following simpler methods that worked for me.

1) update windows security patches.
2) delete and download again the latest browser version
3) remove firewall and security settings
4) it may be an issue of the corrupted file on the server provided by the source. So try downloading something else e.g. chrome exe file.

My mushroom head

I went for hair dye and cut abt 2-3 weeks back at Far East Plaza. Actually, I was flipping through some Taiwanese mags at the salon and I thought, how much can my hair change since its already so short?

I requested for Xiao S hair and the stylist looked very 为难. Haha. Anyways it turned out ok la. The stylist was so proud of his work that he asked his boss to take pics w DSLR. Wow.

His boss thought otherwise... Oh wells. Haha. Still, a cheap alternative to pocket bombs elsewhere :D

Aldo Toop Boots Review!

I walked so far back home from the post office with this huge torn box which I recently spree-ed for :) Even though the box was torn, the content was in good condition!
 

I couldn't wait to see my boots that was a whooping 1.85kg stated by the spree organiser. Sheesh.


Ta-dah! the lovely boots with thick soles, foldover removable socks. There's also buckle on the side to look cuter when worn without socks. heeh. 



Unfortunately, it's abit too small for me. It's difficult for me to take out my legs if I wore it with the socks. I don't know if I should sell this away! If nobody wants to buy it then i'll have to squeeze in like mad for the upcoming rainy season. I'm ready for you, without the socks.

e luan bi, kenting, Taiwan

Abit more on my Taiwan trip... From Kaohsiung, it took about 1.5hours via car to Kenting. We took a private cab that could ferry up to 7 people. It cost about NT$400. There were many of these drivers approaching travellers near the bus terminal for bus towards Kenting. The 2hours bus ride probably cost about NT$350-NT$400.

So we arrived at E Luan Bi that cost about NT$120 admission, student card would be half the price. 

There were so many people selling cute ornaments but I didn't want to clutter my home with unnecessary stuff.
 

This is what you go E Luan Bi for. It's the southern most tip of Taiwan and there's a lighthouse by the sea. 
 


 Awesome wind and adequate sun calls for more camwhoring. 




 This path led towards the sea side which was pretty awesome too. Will share more the next time!
