It's been such a long time that I've got a fever, that I forgot how it feels. Lol.

The feeling is like my head is floating. My body is warm.

I think the last time I had fever was in polytechnic???

Mushroom Patty
Posted on Friday, June 5, 2015 @ 10:01 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

So I made mushroom patty today!!!

Recipe from: http://americanfood.about.com/od/vegetarian/r/Mushroom_Burger.htm

I edited the recipe a little since there isn't enough mushrooms at home.

Makes 8 average-sized patties.

Ingredients

Method
  1. Saute mushrooms.
  2. In a separate bowl, add in oats, cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper eggs.
  3. Mix well and leave them for 15 minutes for it to sit.
  4. Divide to 8 equal portions.
  5. Fry in pan until golden brown.



Anyway, it looks darker than in the picture, since this was filtered of one of the layers of instagram, hahahaha. I made flatter patties for the next 4 though. Didn't take a picture. Haha. Bc my dad said they need to be flatter so they'd be fried evenly.

So I took around 3 hours from start to finish. HAHAHA. I took a long time chopping the mushrooms. Asked my dad if there's any tips for faster speed of chopping, my mom says it comes with practise. Lol. Wonder if chopped mushrooms are available in the market. Such a chore to chop them. Lol.

After that, my dad helped to blend the shiitake. Bc I didn't want to chop anymore, hahahahaha. It turned a little mushy. My dad helped to fry the patty for me too. Lol.

I used the blender to blend my breadcrumbs too! Before I microwaved them.
The recipe I use for my panko is this: https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/150346-how-to-make-panko-fluffy-crunchy
They became super fine!! Unlike the one before when I manually grated them. I guess manually grated panko tastes better for fried food? Since you're eating that layer which is fried.

Next time I think I'd try without the egg. See if it still binds or not. And probably forego the cheese. I couldn't taste the cheese, lol.

I need to get more mushrooms so I can eat more next time. It's not enough. LOL.

I think I know why things like burgers cost more? Like in restaurants.
Bc they are hard work!!

EXO Next Door

This has to be one of the funniest drama I've watched in a while??

Wasn't going to watch this at first tbqh, since Kris left. Sob.

EXO Next Door

Drama Status: Completed @ 16 episodes [Official Youtube channel]


Summary: (From wiki-d)

Ji Yeon Hee is a 20-something year old girl, who hasn't yet dated because she blushes terribly and is completely paralysed when she's near a good looking boy. One day, four members of EXO are trying to keep a low profile, and move into the house of one of the member's grandfather. However, it turns out that EXO members' house is right in front of Yeon Hee's house.


Comment:

---Spoiler warning!---

The cast are all pretty good. I was shocked to learn Moon Ga Young, the one acting as Yeonhee, is 18.

Sehun's plot line is the best. LOL. He forges bromance whenever he can. Lolol.
His part makes me laugh so much, hahaha. At some parts, it looked like he's about to laugh when he says his lines though. Haha. But generally his acting was still okay!

D.O's character tugged my heart strings!!! He's a really sweet character. Ending was sad. ಥ_ಥ

Chanyeol's acting was good! He's like the tsundere type of guy in the story. Or the type who bullies the girl he likes. Haha. I was rooting for D.O. but Chanyeol looks so cute when he smiles!!!

The part where Baekhyun talked with Xiumin all night long was funny too. LOL. It's an advertisement on Line, since the calling is free, but hahahahaha - what can 2 guys talk about the whole night?! LOL.

Yeonhee is super dense, lol.

Baekhyun's acting is natural. Kai didn't appear much. Suho too. But the EXO-M members had even lesser parts, haha.


Overall:

I'd recommend this drama for people to watch!

It's pretty funny. Although the story is quite cliche - like you'll know who will end up with who, it's quite nice. At least not all the guys all falling for one girl, haha.

29052015 VIXX Utopia in Singapore
Posted on Saturday, May 30, 2015 @ 12:21 AM | 0 lovely comment(s)

So thanks to Louis I went to VIXX's concert today!!
Been quite a long time since I went to a concert. Though it's quite near to the rainie fansign I went. Haha.

So yupp, I went there basically with not much knowledge on Vixx, lol.

Went earlier to collect some fan support stuff. And there's quite a lot of fan support items!! Ranging from photocards, banners, to light sticks.

Got my light stick earlier since Amanda went to help us buy at daiso. Haha. Honestly though, people should buy on their own. It's around $1-$2 anyway. =_=

They started quite on time!

Then starts the member recognition/choosing bias time. Hahahahah.

Whenever Leo appeared, the fangirls behind will scream. So it's pretty easy to recognise. LOL.

After they sang some songs, and they talked on stage, it was their solo stage.

Ken went first, singing Adele's Rollin' in the Deep. Followed by Ravi with a something-ghost rap. He looked like a 老大 in that outfit, lol. Hyuk was next and omg. My heart. I thought I videoed his part in snapchat but apparently not. T_T

Hyuk is so awesome in his solo!! He came on starting with piano, then when he started his dance, I felt an arrow to my heart. ♡ Like omg so cool.

After that they sang and talked on stage. They said something like keep fit? And what exercise to keep fit. Lol. #idontexercise

I think some things are lost in translation. Felt like there were gaps in their conversation. Haha.
N felt like a maknae to me though. Lol. With his 'tickling heart' action. So funny.

And this is the first concert that fansupport - banners are being used in songs, and fanchants can be heard!!! So cool. It's probably bc of the smaller area. And the sg fansite people made sure everyone has a banner!

Went for Taylor's and Shinee's concert, but we (the fans) didn't manage to do those fan support stuff as a whole.

Idk what song it was (sorry) and we started to put up the yellow banner - We will run tgt till the end. And then Hong Bin got teary-eyed. Tugged at my heart strings. All of them look pretty touched at this fan support.

After that, some mushy stuff came on. Lol. Felt like those are words you say to your girlfriend, not fans. Hahahah.

After that, it was the solo stage??? I think.

I think Leo sang a song. Omg. I can't remember. Hong Bin did a mime dance kind of thing. Which is cool. ♡ N's solo is cool too. He was blind-folded. The thing I noticed after he was blind-folded was that his legs have a figure!!! Hahahah. Like, he looks slim. Lol. And yupp, with the blindfold I can imagine the fangirls fantasizing whatever. LOLOL.

After that they sang again. Then the screen showed last song. Eternity was their last song. T_T Time went by so fast! It was already 9.40+pm by that time.

Encore was surprisingly long haha. Bc usually singers only sing one or two songs. They sang 3/4? Before they came on stage again, the heart meter thing was pretty cool.

It was annoying during encore bc the girls in front went to the front. Then more joined them. And basically my view was blocked. Zzz. Stood up since I couldn't see. But it's not like I could see much even when I'm standing. LOL.

Hong Bin is so cute at the encore stage!!!!! He was so cute before he left though. Amanda said the camera in his hands is for filming their vixx tv? Haha.

Left max pavillion at around 10.20+pm. My heart was with Hong Bin and Hyuk. Lololol.

Ok, this is it for my account for today. /o/


My ticket was swapped, so I wasn't sitting at seat shown in the above picture.
Didn't take another picture, lol.

4 ingredient Nutella Cupcake
Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2015 @ 12:01 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

I'm going to try this recipe!!! After my exams, haha.

Nutella cupcakes with just 4 ingredients!
Tbqh, I get a little scared when I see ingredients full of sugar, butter etc for desserts.

Depending on my mood, I may do without the frosting, lol.

Here's the original recipe: http://www.ohnuts.com/blog/nutella-cupcakes/

Since I don't have all-purpose flour at home, I'm going to substitute with cake flour.
http://m.joyofbaking.com/ingredients/Flour.html#ixzz1kDVpBeYX


Modified recipe (that I will try):

Cupcake


Nutella Frosting



Instructions (Edited):

  1. Preheat the oven to 177 C. Line miniature muffin tins with 28 paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add 420g of nutella. Whisk the eggs and Nutella together until your mixture is smooth and shiny.
  3. Add the flour and gently stir it in, just until the flour streaks disappear. Don’t overwork it, or your cupcakes will be tough.
  4. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake the cupcakes for about 13-15 minutes, until the tops are puffed and cracked and spring back when lightly pressed. Let the cupcakes cool on a wire rack while you prepare the frosting.
  5. For frosting, combine the 280g of Nutella and the cream cheese in a mixing bowl, and beat on medium-speed until combined, light, and fluffy.
  6. Pipe the frosting on top of the cooled cupcakes.

Microwave Cookies Attempt
Posted on Saturday, May 23, 2015 @ 10:25 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

So I attempted to make microwave cookies today.
Bc it seems easy? Hahaha.

But lol, first time in my life I know how dramas/mangas will write cookies turning to stone or the existence of burnt cookies. LOL.

I'd always wondered how do you turn food to stone? Lol.

Threw away that batch. Sob.

I think it'd be okay if I bake them in the oven instead. Because the dough looked normal like those in the cooking videos.

Bad Blood
Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 @ 9:00 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

One paper left!!!! Lol.

One of my friends is flying to europe to visit his gf. I feel like asking him to maybe help me buy Taylor Swift's perfume when he's back at Singapore's duty-free area??? Hahahahahahah.

But I kind of always change my mind about fragrances, lol.

Like, my old bottles, I would use half-way once I get a new fragrance. Then I'll use the new fragrance, lol. Hmmm. Right now my favourite is the one I got in December - Taylor Swift's Incredible Things. ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

Anyway, Taylor Swift's Bad Blood MV is out!!! The MV is so awesome!
I think Taylor Swift has the potential to do anything, haha.
I'd definitely watch a movie she plays a main role in. (*´∀`*人*´∀`*)
