For Wu...hahaha...

So here I am...blogging again after some period of silence for the past few weeks. Here I am also to please Wu Wu, who had been constantly nagging me for not posting any new entry...he can be quite restless as you guys can see...hahaha...

Anyway, I had not been feeling well these few days. I don't have much appetite to eat lately and had been getting some serious gastric attack. What's worst is that my nose kept on bleeding...two days in a row is the longest...as you all know, I can get pretty paranoid when things like this happened to me...as always I'll think of the worst case scenarios rather than being optimistic about it.


Cottons stained with my blood...from my nose that is...hahaha...

My mum called and I told her about my nosebleed and she started panicking and lecturing me about taking care of my health. Told me to go to the doctor too...nah, I don't really like doctors. Not that I hate them, but let's just say my last family doctor was extremely intimidating. Then, mum started talking about a movie she had watch where a girl who was diagnosed with leukemia was also experiencing nosebleed prior to her bleak diagnosis. That was exactly what I was thinking about when my nose started bleeding...goodness...and so I continue to worry...but I'm glad to say that the bleeding had stopped and hopefully it won't start again...

Other than that, nothing much happened, my mid-term exam was brought forward (sigh) and I'll be helping out with Taylor's Open Day from 7th until 9th of December in main campus and also on 16 of December in my own campus. And some LAN (Lembaga Akreditasi Negara [which now had been renamed Malaysian Qualification Agency or MQA or something like that]) will be coming to our college this Wednesday for a visit and some of us from foundation (yours truly included) will be inteviewed...scary...hahaha...one more thing that I'm excited about is tomorrow's 1st National HIV/AIDS Youth Conference! I'll be going under BRATs with some other bratty people (lol...) for the conference hosted by the Malaysian Government and also by UNICEF...hopefully I'll enjoy myself...but I'll have to drag myself out of bed early in the morning...that's the downside...sigh..lol...

I had been doing some serious camwhoring too, and edited a few of them...I wonder what my camwhore "sifu", Miss Pauline thinks about my camwhoring skills...improved? Hahaha...anyway that's all and enjoy these pics....

Pineapple Jam!

I have been neglecting this blog for quite some time now, it was mostly due to the fact that I was back at Kedah last week and the dial-up connection back home was suckier than ever...lol...and the start of my 2nd semester didn't help at all as I was busy preparing for new subjects and getting to know new lecturers who will e teaching us this time round. Well, for this semester, I will only be doing 3 subjects which are Malaysian Media History & Law, Introduction to Information & Technology and also English for College Studies (ii)...so I guess I'll have a bit more free time to enjoy the perks of college life...hahaha...

Anyway, I'd been through some extremely wacky situations when I was in Kedah last week...there was a cat and mouse stuffs happening and a very liberal or shall I say, indifferent idiom came into play and presented itself through my cousin...I'll be posting about that in the next post though...as I'm writting this, I'm also trying to rush home before the rain starts pouring...ain't got no umbrella with me...and I just watched "30 Days of Night" yesterday, so I'll really want to get back before it's really dark...if you get what I mean. But for now I'll show you how I make pineapple jam for Stephanie as a very, very, very, very, very, very, very......belated birthday gift for her...hahaha...it's my first attempt and it turn out quite okay...so maybe you guys are willing to risk getting a tummy ache and try out this jam recipe...lol...

1. Firstly, you'll have to buy the pineapple because without a pineapple, there wouldn't be any pineapple jam...there will only be air jam or, if you prefer, oxygen jam...hahaha...so after that, cut the scaly outer skin of the pineapple unless you eat the skin as well (might give your jam some extra fiber...lol...)...you begin by chopping the top aand bottom off...



2. Then cut off the skin sideways to reveal the 'eyes' of the pineapple...


3. Make the pineapple a blind pineapple by removing it's annoyingly many 'eyes'...


4. Admire your artistic sculpture called the "Eyeless P-apple"...mine was a bit off though...maybe you guys can do a better job at cutting up the pineapple...lol...

5. Next, slice the pineapple into smaller pieces so that it will be easier to crush into a puree...

6. After that, put all the pineapple chunks into a blender, juicer or food processor...

7. This is how pineapple mush looks like...haha...

8. Pour out all the juiced pineapple into a bowl, you can also sieve the juice if you guys want a more refine jam...but that will take away some of the good fiber...

9. Boil the juice using low flame so as to turn it 'jammie'...hahaha...

10. Here comes the most important part of jam-making...stirring the jam non-stop...people who are lazy are advice to get someone else to do this for you because by the time you manage to pull yourself from the TV, you will get charcoal jam instead...hahaha...

11. As I say, keep on stirring as the jam boils...

12. While the jam thickens, add some cinnamon to bring out the sweetness of the jam and to enhance the aroma...don't drool please...lol...

13. Mix well and keep on stirring like there's no tomorrow...

14. When jam is going to be done, add a teaspoon of margerine or butter to glaze it so that it is shinny and nice to look at...

15. Let the cooked jam cool off and then bottle it up for storage or to gift it out to friends...

16. Finally, I present to you the jam!!! Hooray! Hahahaha...

Hahahaha...that's my recipe for the pineapple jam...I got great feedback from Stephanie's friend, Sulin...and hopefully it will also work for you guys! Gotta go...it's dark outside now...I'll blog again soon...I know you are proud of me if you are reading this Martha! Hahahahaha...
