Shoes Lover

Again, I bought another pair of sandals.

I always feel that I can't find a pair of suitable shoes to match my outfit.

That's why we need different kinds of shoes:
- sandals (weekend shopping & sometime to work)
- canvas (such as converse shoes, casual and cool)
- sports (travelling, running or gym)
- boots (traveling in cool places, of course, I always think that it looks good)
- flip flops (beach, neighbourhood)
- heels (interviews, dinner, even I still keep my wedding heels which I only wore once)
- flats (mainly for works, cause I am lazy to tie the shoes lace sometime when rushing to work in the morning =P)


See see, there are so many reasons for us to owe shoessss. In total, I have 20 pairs of shoes today! Unbelievable. I know there are LOTs of ladies outside owe more than me... If I don't control myself, I guess, I will buy more! =D

La Cucina Italiana

http://lacucinaitalianamagazine.com/


I found this magazine at home last few weeks, it was printed in June 2001. It teaches many nice italian cuisine which I always wanted to learn.

I really don't mind to eat Italian food everyday... Believe it or not, we only cook pasta at home and never cook chinese food before.

Perhaps, it's easy, less oily and healthy. The taste is just now.

Tried to cook for few friends before and they think that it's ok! Especially chee leong, he really likes the Carbonara that I made!!! hahaha! :)

Since I found the source, I will learn more and try it out every weekend..

my next recipes: Baked Eggplants (Melanzane al Forno)

Ingredients
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cubed
Salt
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 fresh chili pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced Italian parsley
4 small eggplants


Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°.

Toss the tomatoes with ½ teaspoon salt, the garlic, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the chili pepper, and the parsley in a bowl; marinate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, make small incisions in the flesh, and sprinkle with salt. Brush with the remaining olive oil and place on a baking sheet, cut side down; bake for about 30 minutes, or until soft. (might change to sliced eggplant, faster :P. What do you think?)

Place the eggplants on a serving platter, cut side up, and spoon on the marinated tomatoes. Serve the eggplants at room temperature or cold.

Let's see.. ;)

Unlucky Morning!

Rushing to clock in as usual everyday. "dii dii" (sound from the clock in machine)

9:10am

ermmmm... hurry up...Rush into a lift and pressed Level 3.

"Guung Gooong!!" (sound from the lift)

Oh dear, it stopped. I tried to pressed the button.. No response....

Oh Yah. the Bell!!

"Riinngggg!!!! Riiiiiiiiing!!" for 5 mins. Started to worry... and wondering what if the lift fall down to the ground floor...

What should I do to reduce the force on me then?? stay close to the wall? lie on the ground? or sit on the ground??? The internet quiz came across my mind.. But I didn't do it! Oh dear.... I should do it in order to get the answer!!

"Riinngggg!!!! Riiiiiiiiing!!"

"Hello...." finally someone talked to me thru the speaker.
"anybody there? Are you ok? don't be panic!! I will come and safe you"

what a relief..

"Guung Gooong!!" (sound from the lift again).. it started to move.. it went down to L2...

the door open and i quickly rushed out and go up by the staircase. I am still not very sure who is the hero!?

Well, what an unlucky day for me!! =x
* It has been loooooooooooooooong time I didn't trapped in the lift. I have very blur memories that I trapped in the lift when I was very young, also without any light....*
