Instant Nike Shopping

got these two shirts

ordered from Lukas

think it looks quite cool

to be worn in hostel

or take home

decided to go for oversized one

and unconventional color, red..

$ 7 each

*

then after dinner

shopped at flag mini bazaar

shopped damn a lot

haha

grab and go

1. Nike Sport Bra

how can i ever give up on stripy

omg, it’s so lovely

 

*

2. NIke Short Pants

at first took a light blue one

but this one seems more practical

for jogging etc

*

3. Nike Water Bottle

i supposed i am very tired of my

orange bottles now

both very sticky

but i got no time to go brush them

the hook

this is the key point of buying this bottle

*

4. FBT shorts

super short

but i think it will look cool

to wear with my oversized NUSSU shirt

*

i am broke

also i broke the vow

of not going to shop

till fall 10/11

going for sporty look

next season

*

When You’re Gone… Pt1

for everyone who is wondering

why for so long i never blog about anything

but Stephelle Kitchen

hello, i am back

*

i am pretty busy

working on KR Rag

from 2pm to 7am everyday

including Sunday

*

therefore i don’t have time

to do anything else,

just for cooking and blogging

on average, i sleep for 2 hours everyday

*

actually i was supposed to stay in this room

till 2nd Aug and move to PGP,

(another hostel)

*

but today something happened

i was supposed to empty my room

because the next tenant had checked in

*

i didn’t explode

because ultimately, sooner or later

i have to move house, why not earlier now

*

secondly, i had just received a call from

Create Talents,

a scheduled interview for me tomorrow

*

started to move at 12 a.m

but napped all the way

till almost 2am

*

obviously, this is not the right timing to move

especially when i just did painting

most of the things i touch

get some taste of the choc syrup

 

*

i was so efficient that

i managed to move everything

within 1 .30 hr

without trolley

everything was nicely packed

*

except my clothes

all in a trash bag

omg

my MNG, Topshop, Benetton, Nike and all

in a trash bag

*

the water dispenser in our pantry

was leaking

obviously, saddened by my departure

*

my room on 17.07.08

 

*

after i emptied everything

*

where am i heading?

camping at Recreation Room, the Rag Office

*

this place is not so bad after all

1. air-conditioned
2. fridge
3. lots of power plugs
4. sofa
5. tv
6. near to toilet & water dispenser
7. distant away from my work place

*

so basically this is a studio apartment

but no bathroom

i will still shower at D block

my toiletries are will Siao Chuen

my printer, MR. Sam too

and some other stuffs

thanks a lot

*

kept thinking of these two songs

*

Stephelle Kitchen: Pumpkin Rice? Rice Pumpkin?

i have been wondering

how to cook my pumpkin

after consulting my mom on Sunday

(the only chance to communicate now)

finally came out with idea…

*

ingredients

unprocessed pumpkin 300 mg

rice 80g

carrot

seasoning

*

action time

steam the rice till it’s half cooked

add the seasoning

pour in the sliced pumpkin and carrot

*

the 2nd serving at night

the rice and vegie are not in proportion

too much of vegie, too little rice

gave some to my neighbour, Small Boat

it’s edible at least

 

*

conclusion

brightness

sweetness

warmness

homeliness

*

Stephelle Kitchen - Weekend Retreat

Project #1: Whollie Greenie Beanie

*

been hearing about ideas of

effective bean cooking

finally this post is out on 943’s blog

so decided to follow the method

steamed the green bean

*

superb…

it’s well-cooked

the bean is intact

and no hassle in washing Ms. Elle

*

Project #2: Yogurt Palette

breakfast is always inspiring to

generate wonderful idea

especially on weekend

yogurt palette consisting of

oat, apple, whomeal bread

simple, soothing taste

yet it’s filling

reminded me much of

my ideal afternoon tea

*

Project #3: Seaweevee

*

just like the green bean

i steamed my vermicelli too

along with some seaweed

just “Keep Warm” mode

and it’s ready

there’s no need to

catch all the swimming, slippery vermicelli

*

Project 4 St. Wichoreo

*

light dinner

yet supper is Nasi Briyani

sounded not right at all

nevermind, it’s okay

it’s weekend retreat

anything is possible

*

Stephelle Kitchen: Stephelle Set Lunches

tried out with

my first ever Stephelle set lunch

Muschilli Soup & Rice

it’s very very warm

the soup

 

*

VegeVermicelli

the bee hoon is so easy to cook

Ms. Elle used “Keep Warm” mode only

then there

the bee hoon was ready to be served

now only i know

one piece is for one serving

so the bee hoon lasted me till dinner

*

Vegie Beanie

I don’t know what is this thing called

it’s call taoziam in Hokkien

roughly means.. bean sticks

*

instead of throwing everything in

i steamed the vegie instead

to retain the freshness

and i ate the carrot with its skin

*

after googled the nutrient value

it’s better not to overcook vegie

and best to eat vegie with the skin

but not sweet potato of course

*

four vegie for a meal

it really makes me feel good 

  

*

coming up next

vegie porridge

全食物營養 Whole Food Nutrients

衛生署委託台灣營養學會修訂的「每日飲食指南」草案，

強調原態食物攝取，

全穀取代五穀，

每日應包含一份堅果與種子類，

低脂食物及蔬果類。

*

近年來極力推廣「全食物」飲食觀念的陳月卿指出，

新版指南符合全食物營養理念，

較貼近現代人飲食需要。

*

新版飲食指南六大類食物為：

全穀根莖類

豆魚肉蛋類

蔬菜類

水果類

低脂奶類及油脂

堅果種子類

*

陳月卿表示指出我們要「吃食物不吃加工食品」，

要吃全食物的全穀類（雜糧），

而非白米、麵粉類；

另外應多素少暈，比例約為8比2。

還有，油炸及烤、煎食物應避免，

食物處理以水煮及燙、蒸為主。

*

她也鼓勵多吃生機飲食，

以生菜及有機食物做為主要營養來源，

可打成精力湯，吃進所有的營養及纖維素。

精力湯的內容，可以有水果加蔬菜及堅果，

依個人喜好每天加減樣及變換，

例如蘋果、蕃茄、奇異果、胡蘿蔔、小黃瓜、

美生菜、芽菜、葡萄、藍莓、梨子、

西洋芹、苦瓜等，都是可以利用的種類。

*

陳月卿表示，樂活飲食的原則其實不會多花錢，

把握當季當地盛產、

全食物飲食、穀類菜食及彩虹飲食（多種顏色），

可以吃得好又健康。

Experience India! Shopping Marathon

Guide to A Pleasant Shopping Experience

(1) pack light

*

(2) keep your money at different places to avoid excessive spending

*

(3) spare bag to carry your shopping loot back. 

I had forgotten about this. 

Ended up carrying my stuffs in plastic bag. 

This is quite risky because i don’t know

when will the bag break,

or i may just forget to take the bag along.

*

(4) hire a personal shopping assistant

*

or a big bag allowing us to throw our items in

*

My Treasures

can be classified into 4 categories

Fashionable stuffs

Indian flava

Souvenirs

Just for fun

*

(1) fashionable stuffs

i bought this pair of shoes

because i am just thrilled by white sneaker

my Adidas Superstar is retiring soon

and i am not satisfied with

an ordinary pair of Stan Smith

*

the bargain for this

is buy 1 free 1

Kenneth was trying out some shoes

hoping we can share the bill

unfortunately he couldn’t find any

*

so i was forced to give up the shoes

but when i was paying for the two tops

the salesperson offered to

sell it to me

at 50% discount

however SGD 100

is still not a very cheap price

to pay for a pair of sneakers

*

but then only i discovered

this is actually a pair of golf shoes

so cool

it’s worth the money i paid

*

*

Puma top that doesn’t look too Puma

more like MNG

that’s what i am looking for nowadays

*

never own any sporty spag top like this

SGD 10 is quite reasonable i guess

*

celebrate the color

i was attracted by the colorful top

but it is supposed to be a girl dress

but i managed to fit in

*

these are actually from a guy

vending the clothes

by carrying it around the street

*

this is either a long skirt

or a tube dress

it’s pretty angelic

but not if it’s worn on me

*

hand made stuffs are always cool

*

a Nike watch i got at B’lore airport

for 50% discount

i was always looking for a sporty watch

can’t expect me to wear Seiko or Titus

to go jogging

*

finally this one

and it’s black in color

doesn’t it look a bit O.D.M.?

p.s. 

to the guy who criticized i am wasting my money away

please compare and contrast the watches properly

*

(2) Indian flava stuffs

*

(3) souvenirs

i like the house portrayed on this rug

the color combination is good too

somehow i sacrificed it

gave it to my uncle

because in my dad’s eye

this is not a collectible

it’s just any other souvenir

 

*

a pair of peacock motif mini plate

it reminds me of the pair of peacock lamp

we have at home

i think they will be perfect match

*

this is a hand-drawn elephant drawing

we were quite amazed by those

fine drawing similar to this

we saw else where

but they are way too expensive

i think finally Kenneth and Jia Loon

bought those fine drawing

ok lo, didn’t jio me

*

i brought this to Daiso

bought a frame

and presented it as a gift

to my rag team

*

somehow dad is always looking for

a bronze horn

at flea market

so i got him this

but i got the feeling that

he will still get one of the

hand-pressing horn

*

my niece will always laugh

when i blow it

but her daddy said that

we shouldn’t blow it anymore

it will injure her ears

okies…

*

animal prints

can print my own shirt

or they are just fine

to stand on the shelf as decorations

*

my dad was thrilled by this pair of elephant

he put it on his collection shelf immediately

my original intention for this pair of elephant

was back-up souvenir

just in case i miss put any V.I.P.

*

and the price offered was too great

to be turned down

but the weight was something to be considered

*

and on my way back

i kept thinking of my dear elephants

whether they will break

luckily they were not hurt

otherwise i would be heartbroken

for being cheated

*

at first

i didn’t feel like buying

who would want to carry such heavy marbles

i casually asked him whether he had got

peacock print one

*

gosh, he managed to take one out

and they are so cute

since dad always complains that

we are spoiling his tables

by putting hot drinks on them

this is an ideal home improvement item

i have to admit that

i am a vain girl

peacock always attracts me

*

free gift from the shop

somehow i like the photos of Lord Krishna

hanging out with his GFs

may i be blessed

for …………………..

*

(4) just for fun

my niece likes to play with them

that day Min Wey and Teck Thye

were playing air ping pong

using these bats too

*

my lovely ferris wheel

look out for more photos

featuring it

coming up very soon

gosh, i haven’t named it yet

*

my niece said this is a

noodle-making machine

……. swt

got this at the airport

how can i miss out M&M

whenever i am at an airport

*

left it on the bus on my way

back to Melaka

waited for 2 hours

since the driver had gone for his lunch break

but so grateful that i found him back

that’s why this clock is precious, isn’t it?

i left it on my dad’s writing table

so that he can think of me

whenever he is working

Cases of Shopping Failure along the Journey

*

(1) Shrek from Macs… run out of stock 

envious of Kenneth who got the Hippo

 

*

(2) Mango trees

innocently thought that i can transport some

Indian mango back to plant at backyard

go give it to my grandpa or uncle

basically our family enjoy planting mango trees

*

the gardener kindly bought them for me

but they are so huge

forget bout it

left them at the hostel

*

(3) Reebok legging

i never own any legging

i fell in love with this pair of Reebok legging

it was purple stripes

with a mini skirt

my desire to own it heightened

when the dance instructor

who taught us Bollywood dance

was wearing something similar

but can’t find it at other Reebok outlet

*

(4) M&M figures

i like this

but it’s a bit ex

so gave up the idea

but i am happy

with the mr. Yellow alarm clock

the price is half of this

*

(5) Vodafone sim card

it died out after a few days

stating that we failed to provide the address

there was still some credit in it

and the good thing about this sim card is

i couldn’t call sg number, but msian one worked

i could send smses to both countries,

but couldn’t receive smses from both

*

the packaging is nice

perhaps designed in UK

but the service provided

is still Indian standard

no choice

*
