How to: Homemade Pan Mee Noodles

I wonder if they would spell my name correctly if I were to say "my name is Eleanie Tan"?
If you don't get what I mean, you should see my previous posts.

In the mean time, want to learn how to make a Malaysian noodle dish?

How to: Homemade Pan Mee Noodles

Ingredients (enough for 2):

• Plain Flour (100grams)
  
• Corn Flour (small handful)
  
• Salt & Pepper (suit yourself)
• Water (1 tbsp)
  
• Egg (1)

You will need:

1. Rolling Pin
2. Extra flour to prevent dough from sticking
3. A place to dry your flatten dough

Have fun playing with dough like I did!

Leave the flat dough to dry for 15mins. Fold the flatten dough to a tube shape and slice it as you like. Otherwise don't fold because some people like it teared :) It's called "nie" 捏 in Mandarin.

I googled a picture of the noodle with soup.
I did not make the whole meal because I did not have enough soup ingredient.
:) There are a few ways to cook your noodles!









Be creative and experiment it yourself!

Hypertune Photoshoot (Home)

This was a trial photo shoot with massive Halogen lights (Timmy had an idea) which might have probably killed part of my visual abilities haha but it was all worth the try..the photos turned out pretty good!



Print Size Available (up to 24" x 36") here.

Why Hypertune? I was wearing the same T-shirt and jeans on that day (except revealing my navel part) so...it's good. I can present this to my good friend in Hypertune.

New Hobby: Nail Art

Plain Nail Art with little flowers :) I can only think of four leaf clover, pink flowers and grass with limited colours of Green and Pink.



My first try. I'd like to paint more interesting little artsy fartsy stuffs on my nails to practice.





These are done on Eun Ji's nails.



She's got a white base with symmetrical pink flowers.



Any of you great minds have any great ideas?

Mini Plant Pet

啊！！！太可爱了吧！

It's too cute to ignore... *heehee*


It is easy to make these for Valentine's, Anniversaries, Birthdays or other special events.
I shall suggest making this for my next charity sale item for fund raising to my mummy!

It takes some effort in finding the resources. I am pretty sure anyone can find these if they really put their heads in to it.

1. Mini Bottle!
2. Plant Gel
3. Plant or seed.
   
4. Hook screw/Jewelry Making hooks (looks like question marks).
5. Ready made string (like the ones for phone)

可愛い過ぎ！
I suggest to find No. 4 & 5 from bead or jewelry making shops.

If you are really NOT in to D.I.Y., shop for the cutest pet plants via the following links!

Singapore
China (wholesale)
Alibaba (it's like Amazon!)

The Mikado
(Syngonanthus chrysanthus) [Info]

There is a really pretty way of planting this plant. I walked by a florist and saw this outstanding plant. It was a small pot of Mikado, inside a cylindrical glass vase, decorated with small pretty pebbles around it.

My silly attempt at Web Design!

I am always fascinated by art. Never knew how people do it. I went through Deviant Art and found cool artsy stuffs I could use for an easy kick start of web design. Didn't turn out too bad for a beginner I guess. Simple and nice... Some people like it!

Tis my LoLaRtz!

Header for reverendtimothy

I did these and a few more out of curiosity hoping it'll look good and people will appreciate it.
If you like some, do let me know. Don't steal these... I'll make another one for you, k? This is specially made for others...and you would like me to specially make one for you!

I'll be most glad to design some for you!
Will make time out of my full-of-hobby time :)
*wInk!*

Astrophotography : Yellow Moon

亲爱的爸爸， 生日快乐！
Yellow Moon
1st October 2007

If I have a wish, I will wish to know if there's life outside of milky way.

To those who doesn't know, the Universe is what we know as the biggest atmosphere. Within the Universe, there are god knows how many galaxies. Milky way is our galaxy. Earth is accompanied by other planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and I will still include Pluto.

Zillions of money spent on sending Spaceships and Voyagers to our neighbouring planets.
So far, technology brought humans to the Moon, ...that's all I know of. Venus is too hot thus a ship was sent and only survived for two hours in the lava. Even with our currently technology on the speed of spaceships, it takes 3-6 months to travel just to the Mars. Mars is closest to earth at 35 million miles and furthest at 250 million miles away.

Let me introduce the Astronomical Units
1 Astronomical Unit = 149 598 000 kilometers
The distance for Mars (from Earth) is currently at 1.005 AU. Neptune...is now 29.288 AU from Earth. You can do the calculations by google-ing 29.288AU.
Voyager 2 took 12 years to reach Neptune.


Now let me introduce to you LIGHT YEARs
1 light year = 9.4605284 × 10¹⁵ meters
Note...STARS that we see are FURTHER than our PLANETS. Antares was known as the biggest star visible to the naked eye. It is 1,108,430,000 km away.

What is bigger than Antares? You shall find out later at the end of the post. All of these planets, these stars and wonders are WITHIN our galaxy (Milky waay).

HOW WILL WE EVER KNOW IF THERE IS LIFE IN ANOTHER GALAXY!?
Let me see...nearest galaxy is Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy at 25,000 light years away. It is a natural satellite of Milky Way. In this case, satellite means it orbits the Milky way (ie: The moon is a natural satellite of Earth).

This is making me crazy. If there are any species coming to earth from the outerspace out of our milky way, who are we to call them aliens.....? If they can come to earth from so goddamn far away, I will follow them. If they exist, they are the smart ones. I'm the alien.

To those who thinks they are enjoying life to the fullest, this may not help. So, this is what I see tonight. Pretty damn small, eh? I feel like crying.

I love how the Universe is killing me softly.

Farm Life

Air Rifle & Shotgun

Shooting a gun was one of my "future plan" and I finally did it under the supervision of Scout and Andrew who both have full firearm license. Air rifle was really quiet considering most people who have not much clue about guns will assume guns without silencer are usually loud.
The shotgun however... *shOck*! Ears buzzed, adrenaline rushed and pride (because I got the target!) The can was absolutely smashed! I was also told that there will be a strong kick back. It actually sorta cured my sore shoulder.

Andrew & Kylie's hobby farm

A farm 30 minutes away from town. Cows, chickens, birds, dogs, cats, lambs, horses, sheep, alpacas, and a variety of poo all over the 20 acre meadow. A mountain-like backyard that overlooks Birdwood.
2 storey high bonfire.

Do you prefer city life or farm life?

MiccObaYb's Amateur Stargazing

I did my small research on what and how to look for planets and galaxies in the milky way. So far, I saw Planet Venus at 5.30am and apparently the picture I posted recently is planet Jupiter. Didn't bring my camera out when I saw Venus...but I will see Venus again, so stay tuned.
I am not as skillful, and yet to know how to use the telescope, pictures do not turn out as sophisticated. Just being able to see clusters of stars that you can't see with naked eye is absolutely fulfilling.

I have decided to learn more about Astrophotography.
Here are some absolutely amazing astrophotography taken by Humayun Qureshi.

Nokia N73 Focus

Fascinating isn't it? Just look at these pictures taken by my N73.

Focused on barks, background becomes blurred. Focus on swing, barks become blur...
I simply love my N73.

Adelaide [March]

Howdy ^^! Finally! Time to update my life. Feels like I've lost a month worth of news from Malaysia. Everyone is missing in action..including my parentS. Where has everyone gone? I miss everybody...
OMG....I can't believe it. I brought my USB without saving the files from my freakin desktop !!! And for a second there I was so proud of myself for bringing my USB. -.-" I totally forgotten about the fact that I neeeeeeeded to save files from my laptop at home. Mistake repeated twice. Wow...what has Uni done to me?

I guess I'm down to these. My friends, you wanted to know about Adelaide?

Glenelg. A beach at the end of Adelaide's ONLY tram line. =) Take this tram from the city - Victoria Square...fall asleep in the tram and someone will wake you up at the end of the line. If not..back to Victoria Square again! =) Glenelg is One of the few famous tourist places. Glenelg is also known as a "fashion beach" quoted by reverendtimothy. People go to the beach to sunbath, surf, and what not... this beach is slightly different though. Picture this.

*Wendy called and asked if we wanted to go to the beach*

reverendtimothy : Hey baby let's go to the beach!

miccobayb : Okay! *eXcited* (Puts on baby-T, shorts, packs Volleyball)
