Popcorn Failure!!!!

Last night me and mom and bro went to Spring for some jalan jalan time and shopping~ So we ended up buying groceries at Ta Kiong. Me and bro found this Popping Microwave Popcorn and thought of giving it a try. He said he wanted to buy before but mom don't allow. Haha!

And so, we tried to make it just now. Let's see...I think this cost about RM3.80. Can't really remember and doesn't bother to read the receipt which I assumed had been thrown away by mom. Hehe =D
This is the package inside. It has indications of which side is facing up and which side facing down. They must have their own reason for that. Which I don't know what.
Still got warning =.=''' And they have more warning behind the bag. Haha!
Please remove the plastic wrapping. Hmm..DUH! Else how are you gonna take this paper bag out???
Now this is the hard part. Cos you see. Firstly, mine isn't fully microwave. It's microwave oven. And secondly, the dial (as taught by Cikgu Chong) to adjust the degree is spoilt which is so gg. So I don't even know what degree it is on! How to put into full power??? So I just put it in without bothering. Haha!
Stay and listen. Ok I did. But I didn't hear anything =.=''' Do not overcook. Hahaha!!! You shall see the result later.
And then it's done just like that? O.o???
Ok let's put it into the microwave and see what happens.
Waited waited waited.....Nothing happens. Hm?? I looked at bro and bro looked at me. Maybe we should do something to the paper bag. So I switched it off. Take the bag out and pull here and there so it's bit fatter. Haha! Put back again and waited and waited.
After half an hour =.=''' Hahaha! And the instruction says 1-5 minutes? I guess it's my microwave's degree not right. Hehe =DD
And so after 40minutes inside the microwave. I took it out and opened the wraping. Inilah hasilnya! FAIL! But I was so not satisfied so I told bro to put those 'unpopped' corns into a metal bowl and I put it back into the microwave for half more hour. Hahaha!!!
After half more hour. This is what it turned out to be. Still fail. But I get to see how the popcorns start to pop and fly all over inside the microwave. HAHAHA!!!!
And fyi, it's really overcooked!!! Some taste 'chao huey ta'. Hahaha!!!

Lessons learnt!
1) Need to get a proper microwave with BUTTONS instead of DIALS! That way mom or bro or me won't turn til it's broken.
2) Must always follow instruction. But then again, my microwave is stupid.
3) Hmm.....Must always experience things your own way. The instructions didn't say I could take it out and put on a bowl!!!!

Anyway, bro had them all cos I don't feel like eating dy. Hahaha!!!

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
