Singapore Crab Beehoon

Another healthy choice for a snack. I scrap these corn out and sprinkle some salt, water & olive butter. Microwave for 3mins and you'll get sweet corn snack. It definately taste better than MacDonald's.

Red Drink

A long weekend break for me. Bought BeetRoot to try some new juices. Made this red drink with

1. 2 Apple
2. 1/2 beetroot
3. 1/2 big lime
4. 1 japanese cucumber

Beet juice can provide many health benefits. It contains a wealth of both soluble and insoluble fiber that will keep the intestinal tract running smoothly along with keeping blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels on track. It is packed full of potassium, which in turn keeps the heart beating regularly and blood pressure normal.

Makeover Photo Shoot

A free trail by NbyN. These are the two FOC pictures.

When the telemarketer called, I agreed to try the trail when she agreed for a professional shoot. I've nothing to loose. However, when I arrive, the "Ang Mo" said professional shoot are chargeable. The clothes are also limited to cultural costume and elegant dress only. Thus the "professional" shoot is in my own clothes in white!

I think the "Ang Mo" is pissed by my frank opinion of their service gap. I got of easily with my two free pictures in a CD.

Super Hints

1. Cockroaches in your home!
   Fill a large bowl of cheap wine and leave it under the sink. The pests will drink it, get drunk, fall into the bowl and drown...
   
2. Avoid hurting your hands during hammering
   Instead of using your fingers to hold the nails, use a wooden clothes peg instead
   
3. Tears while chopping onions
   Use a fan to blow away the fumes from the onion. Or put the clean onion in the freezer for a while before cutting

   Use slice of potatoes to rub away the food stains on your fingers
   
5. Get rid of itch from mosquito bite
   Apply soap on the area - instant relief!

   They say ants never cross a chalk line. So draw a chalk line where the ants march-in.
   
7. Eggs shells to clean glass bottles
   Break shells and drop into bottle. Add drops of detergent and bit of water, shake vigorously. Than rinse with water.
   
8. Salty Soup. I put too much salt!
   Cut raw potatoes and throw them away onces they're cooked and have absorbed the salt. You've save the soup!
9. To return discolored socks to their original colour
   Boil them on a pot of water with few slices of lemon
   
10. Paper Bag's String
    Use the strings of the bags for little gift wraps
    
11. To get the last drop of ketchup out of the bottle
    Grap the bottom of the bottle and start swinging your arms in a circular motion. Make sure the cap your screwed tightly! The remaining drops will be forced to the top
    
12. Use air-freshener to clean mirrors
    It does a good job and leave a lovely smell too
    
13. If you have slippery shoelaces
    Rub them with candle and make them less slippery so that knots stay put
    
14. If you have stubborn grease stains on your clothes
    Add bottle of Coke with detergent. It'll help loosen the grease
    
15. Dirty marks on your white clothes
    Just use some medicated oil on a piece of clothes and clean off those dirty marks on your white shirt
    

Strawberry Carrot Cake

I've made this Strawberry Carrot Cake sometime bake, but I'm too busy to but it up on the blog. Having balance strawberry from another cake, I decided to put it into my favorite American Carrot Cake. The frosting look fantastic for with bits of red strawberries. However I couldnt taste strawberry from the cake. Mhhhh... I wonder how I can improve the taste of strawberry?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
