THE X FILES - I Want To Believe (It's Hard to Believe)

It took days for me to think how and what should I post for this MOCHA session.

Whatever my post is; first of all, I must thank my brother (whom had added me in the MOCHA session) and Tammy (the organizer, whom has been so generous to give us ticket). Also must thank Hurley (the one that been so nice to get us mixed around); the photographer Joyce (not girl) & Ewin (both are just like me, not very much talking), IcedNyior (a hi and bye cutiepie) and the rest that I totally cannot recall their names (remember only the long hair gorgeous and other 2 guys). It was my great pleasure to met you all.

The X Files - I Want To Believe

Now time to review my thought for the movie. Well, forgive me to say that it was actually boring.... sighs. It always gave me a big question mark. Maybe because I am not a big time fan and also more or less I'm not those artistic kind of people so I dont't find its beauty.

Why they want to transplant the arm when they have decided to transplant the head to another body? I also don't understand why they want to transplant it to a lady body since they can actually take in a guy's body?

I don't believe it and very much hated it; that they always come to the rescue right on time...

And what happen to the cutted out head? Fixed it back to the body?

What happened to Scully's patient, the boy?

Does it mean there will be another continue movie? hmmm.....

HS Code Course 5th July 2008

At 7.45am, Joanne knocked on my room's door to wake me up for breakfast with Officer Lim, Office Yu and other SFFLA members at "Big Tree". I am ready at 8.00am (which we supposed to be there at 8.00am) hehe..

And when we reach there, Officer Yu, Mr Teh WK and Vivian is already there.

So, Mr Teh ordered claypot BKT for 3, 1 steamed fish, 1 steamed "Tau Fu" and 1 "Yau Mark" vegetable. Few minutes later, comes Mr & Mrs Ang SH and followed by Officer Lim. We finished at about 8.45am and Officer Lim have to leave for Seminar at SFFLA offce at which will start at 9.00am.

Our company has sent 2 staffs to this seminar to understand how to find the correct code for cargo. I also sneak in there to catch up a little bit. Its kind of bored there! There only thing I can recall was when Officer Lim mentioned about the HS Code for Sea Bass fish and showed the picture that creature, he said he don't understand why this "ugly fish" is protected at USA?
To him, we should protect this species of fish which only left 1 in Malaysia (click to see)

Cooking in Lim Phang Boo Forwarding

Remember sometimes ago, when my son is about 7 months old, when he started to have his solid food (porriage) while chatting in the office during our free time. Ms Peggy mentioned, baby food is very nice to eat, can we cook in the office?

Well, I also is porriage lover so I agreed to her suggestion, and the very next day, Peggy brought her slow cooker and some rice to cook for lunch. We cook it for about a week and start to get bored with the same food. We stop totally when no one want to cook anymore and the slow cooker was there untouched.

Somewhere last week, he said want to cook some "tong shui" (sort of sweet desert) like green beans soup or red bean soup or even barley soup in the office. So Small Lim bring his rice cooker to the office and the first 'tong shui' we cook was green bean soup. It turned out very nice and we continue for the next day. So save some money, we have change from 'tong shui' to porriage. hehe...

Bird Quest Family Hunt 2008

This is a last minute decision to joint the hunt. Another family hunt. Walk hunt is always tiring but of course there are also fun. The good thing about walk hunt is, no matter how tired you are, you stil have to go on until finish.
This hunt was organised by LION CLUB OF PETALING JAYA CITY and it was for the fund raising and charity for NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION,MALAYSIA.

Not much photo there to take as we keep on waiting for the peacock to open his tail.

We were given Nasi Lemak for our lunch. After lunch, there was bird show which was in our schedule. Nice show though....

Dragon Boat Festival - 8 June 2008 五月初五,端午节

Today is Dragon Boat Festival. This is an chinese tradition festival where we can see most chinese will prepare "Bah Chang" for praying.

I like this day since I was kid. I like it because I get to eat mom's delicious "Bah Chang" and the process was fun! Well, me and my brother have to do the preparation like boiling the bamboo leaves and wash it after the water cool down and wash the pot.

Today, I must thank my mom for insisting me to learn how to wrap 'Bah Chang', if it is not because of her, I would not know the tactic to wrap.

2 weeks ago, I asked my mother in law if she want to warp the 'Bah Chang'? I said I know how to wrap just not very good to cook the ingredient. So she said, go ahead to prepare what ever needed and she will help to cook the ingredient. I went on to buy the glutinous rice, the bamboo leave, chestnut and m-i-l went to market and buy pork.

Friday, we started to clean the bamboo leave by boiling it first and wash it with clean water.

Saturday, m-i-l start cutting the pork into smaller size marinate, slice the mushroom. Fragent fried the glutinous rice and boil the dried chestnut and me clean up the remaining on chestnut.

M-i-l has prepared all the ingredient, me and my sis in law, Shireen began to wrap after lunch. It took about an hour to finish wrapping the 'Bah Chang' with the help from Xin Hong and Amery.

　端午亦称端五，是我国最大的传统节日之一。“端”的意思和“初”相同，称“端五”也就如称“初五”；端五的“五”字又与“午”相通，按地支顺序推算，五月正是“午”月。又因午时为“阳辰”，所以端五也叫“端阳”。五月五日，月、日都是五，故称重五，也称重午。　　此外，端午还有许多别称，如：夏节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节等等。端午节的别称之多，间接说明了端午节俗起源的歧出。事实也正是这样的。关于端午节的来源，时至今日至少有四、五种说法，诸如：纪念屈原说；吴越民族图腾祭说；起于三代夏至节说；恶月恶日驱避说，等等。
　　迄今为止，影响最广的端午起源的观点是纪念屈原说。在民俗文化领域，我国民众把端午节的龙舟竞渡和吃粽子都与屈原联系起来。俗说屈原投江以后，当地人民伤其死，便驾舟奋力营救，因有竞渡风俗；又说人们常放食品到水中致祭屈原，但多为蛟龙所食，后因屈原的提示才用楝树叶包饭，外缠彩丝，做成后来的粽子样　
　
　　　　　　
　　一提到端午节，人们都会马上想到粽子。粽子又叫“角黍”、“筒粽”，前者是由于形状有棱角、内裹粘米而得名，后者顾名思义大概是用竹筒盛米煮成。端午节吃粽子，在魏晋时代已经很盛行。西晋周处《岳阳风土记》中记载：“俗以菰叶裹黍米，……煮之，合烂熟，于五月五日至夏至啖之，一名粽，一名黍。”可见这种食品是在每年端午和夏至两个节日里食用。
　　粽子还是一种节日往来的礼品。到了唐宋时期，粽子已极为有名，市场上常有粽子卖。现在，我们过端午节仍然免不了要吃几只粽子。粽子有不少花样，有南北之别，东西之分。南方常用红枣、花生、咸肉等混在糯米中制成，也多见不杂别的食品，而去品味粽叶的清香的；北方多以枣、果脯等作为粽子的馅心。小小的粽子，似乎已经成了中国传统的象征，在人们心中占据着一定的位置。
