how to : homemade popcorns. ready in 3minutes!

this post is specially for all POPCORN LOVERS out dere!  ^^


buying popcorns from the cinemas or shop is kinda costly if u really compare the selling price with  the cost price. basically 50cents of dried corn  would give u a big bowl of popcorn in the end! xD



so let me share with you the recipe i used to made the popcorns just now ( ya.. i really did it like 30mins ago) hahaha


ingredient :

1. dried corns. in case you dont know how they look like.. here you go..

(photo credits to google )

you cn get it from mini markets or even super markets like Tesco. dirt cheap like mad!! 

2.  sugar

3. a small cube of butter

4. a tablespoon of oil

dats it! only 4 ingredients and i bet 3 out 4 of the ingredient is already in ur kitchen. LOL

HOW TO :

1. Pour the oil into you pan/wok and turn on the medium fire. ensure dat da whole surface of the pan/wok is   coated with a thin layer of cooking oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, turn the fire to the smallest mode. Pour in the dried corns. REMEMBER TO COVER THE PAN/WOK! you dont want your pop corn to pop into your whole kitchen, do you? haha
3. After 1 minutes, you will hear the popping sound of the popcorn. once the sound stops, your popcorn is ready!
4. Pour the popcorns into a bowl
5. Put the sugar and butter into the pan/wok and melt it.
6. Pour in the popcorns made just know into the pan/wok and stir well to make sure all the popcorns is coated with caramel.
7. Your popcorns is ready to be served! enjoy! ^^

this is da one i made just now.. hehe go try out ya! ;)

bye! gotta enjoy it over a good movie in front of my new smart TV. hehe

how to : 5 simple steps to glittering gold gradient nail art

CNY is coming! but r u prepared for it? new clothes, new bag, new shoes... but how bout your nails? don't you wana make them pretty and flaunt it? xD

yes! i know u want them to be pretty too! but at this peak season, its kinda hard to make booking rite? cz everything seems to be full! and pricey too! >< 

like for instant my hairstylist.. called to make apointment they other day and he said the saloon is fully book for the time being and the next available date would be half a month later! like.. OMG! gt so kua zhang ma?? cut hair nia wor~ 

anyway, for your nails, worry not as i m here to share with you girls out dere on how to beautify your nails with only 5 simple steps! yes! 5 only~ 

here we go :

Step 1 : Paint a layer of base coat. 

 base coat is a very important step whenever you plan to apply any nonsense on your nails because they PROTECT your nails. trust me, a good base coat wil prevent they shitty chemical from killing your nails. you dun wana have yellow or stained nails upon removing the nail polish later on rite? :)

Step 2 : Paint the tip of your nail with bronze/ any light brown nail colour

For my case, i used Elianto Silky brown (07) to paint it.  apply 1 thin coat will do. this step is done to actually cover all the small spaces between the gold glitter later on.

Step 3 : Apply a  fine gold glitter on the second portion of your nail

i used Etude House Sequin Crystal Gold (04) from LUCIDarling range. apply just 1 layer of colour below the brown colour i have applied just now. do not worry yet if the colour do not blend in 

Step 4 : Apply a layer of bigger gold glitter on top of the bronze/ light colour applied in step 2

i used Etude House Spangle Dazzling Gold (09) from LUCIDarling range. apply the whole tip of the nail covering most of the brown colour applied ealier.

Step 5 : Apply top coat on the whole nail

last but not least, apply the top coat on the whole nail. top coat is very important for this nail art because :

a. it dissolves the top layer of the previous painted nail colour and helps to blend in all the colour creating a smooth gradient toning

b. protects the colours and glitters form fading 

c. adds shine to the whole nail art 

so there you go! 5 simple steps and tadah! pretty glittering gold gradient nail art ready to be flaunt during CNY! :)

u can also mix and match with other colour of your choice too! try it and let me know hows your result alright? xD

oh! summary of the nails colours used :

1. Base coat - The Faceshop

2. Silky brown (07) - Elianto

3. Sequin Crystal Gold (04) from LUCIDarling range - Etude House

4. Spangle Dazzling Gold (09) from LUCIDarling range - Etude House

5. Top Coat - Etude House

happy 2013!

ola! happy new year to everyone!


so fast 2012 has come to an end.. and a new year has begun! so hows 2013 treating u all so far?

hope is good! ;)

so since the world hasn't end and we all alive, so please cherish watever you have now and at the same time strive for a better 2013! cheer!!

me with a big smile wishing you HAPPY NEW YEAR sincerely from the bottom of my heart! <3 p="p">

Experiment 101 : The Magnificent Coke!!

just a quick update to make my blog alive!hehe

had been curious all these while after listening lots of ppl say how coke can actually clean a toilet bowl (bt cleaning i mean REAL clean.. ok? )

they even have you tube videos and so on.. bt this never stop me from questioning myself.. 

sure a not? gt so pro meh?? can clean til lidat.. they sure gt do smth or mix smth to the drink wan.. if cn clean til lidat means the drink sure very gai to our stomach liao lo?? if so teruk..government where cn let them sell o? rite rite rite??

so..after tahan-ing the curiousity for years.. finally we had decided to try it out! xD

MISSION :  to clean the basin in the toilet with only a bottle of coke + a brush to scrub it!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!

so.. now let us see the condition of the basin before the mission start alrite? 

( please do not scroll down if you are eating.. later you puke i dunu a.. )

.

.

.

the bacteria-ful of basin! LOL

.

.

.

so.. do u tink coke can do the job? xD

come on.. place your bet here..hahaha

and the answer is....

YES!!

the end result!! clean anot??  you say la! @@

 and the best part is.. you dun rely have to scrub it! the dirt will come off itself! all you nid to do is.. just pour the coke on the basin.. the you will see some immediate chemical reaction thing happen (like the ones we always see in lab kind) then after that just use the bus to wipe the dirt off! that simple!!

its even more simple that using a bottle of detergent! use detergent sumore nid to wait for few minutes den nid scrub and all.. this one, so simple! OMG!

incase.. you stil dun believe it yet.. let me show you a compiled version!

the one on the left is my friend, calvin. he is the one conducting the experiment actually..haha bt im the photographer! xD

anyway, after seeing all this things, dont you find coke magnificent?? its a drink and yet a cleaning agent!! hola~ 2 in 1..

p/s: sometimes i always wonder, if i wana cleanse my stomach.. cn i just drink a bottle den jump up and down to spread the drink thoroughly in my stomach.. then drink mayb another cup of plain water? wont my tummy be clean and free from bacteria already? xDD

capturing nature with Nikon D3100 (part 1)

how to : keep your leafy vegetable fresh for 1 whole week in the fridge

so i bet many of you (if u r a kitchen person) would have face this problem whereby ur vege in da fridge wilt like there's no tomorrow way before you could even manage to eat it.. rite??

same goes here.. ><

in uni, v usually only do marketing once a week (saturday). so we had no choice but to stock up our food supply for the whole on dat day. however, we often face this problem where by by wednesday, our vege in da fridge already turned in zombie!!!

and we ended throwing almost half of da vege we bought EVERY WEEK!! wat a waste rite??? O.O

BUT! worry no more! as im here today to share some tips with you on how to keep them fresh even after 1 week living in da fridge! hehe

see! you know wats is dis anot??

yes, correct! is da bag used to keep your cereals (eg. koko krunch) when u bought it! 

so..wat does dat have to do with keeping my vege fresh you would say... dun tell me you wana me to put my vege with the koko krunch meh?? @@

yes! correct! put your vege dere! bt not with your koko krunch pls... ==

so..everytime u finish eating your cereal, dont throw the bag away!!! they are precious~~ xD

just dump your vege in the bag den mayb get a rubber band to tie the other end.

ya! dats it! just dat simple~ and by doing so your vege will have a longer life! 

lettuce after 1 week! believe me anot? xD

so..wat are you waiting for?? go try go try~ den give me some feedback! or if u have any other tips to share, feel free to drop by at the comment area.. 

bye!
