What's for dinner tonight?

I miss UCSD

2007-09-24T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hey how's everybody? Maybe nobody really comes here anymore but I really miss this site now that I am in UCSF... nobody is cooking and eating with me nowadays... haha...

then how do u settle ur meals? eat out alone? are u buying a car to drive out to chinatown for breakfast? are u still surviving? :) ~fm

hey haha, i do cook sometimes after finding out how to take public transportation or rent a car through the carshare program and where to get groceries. Sometimes I do eat out alone but I have been trying to eat with some singaporeans and my classmates at times (I just brought my classmates to a malaysian restaurant!). I should be getting a car soon but don't think driving to chinatown for breakfast is feasible as traffic will be heavy and it is hard to find parking + expensive)... san francisco, sigh...
kk

wow. this post was from 2007??!!

apart from the numerous times we have free food, i eat crap most of the time. like i cook pasta sauce, pack 5 packs in the freezer and eat it for a week. or i cook a chicken soup and make noodles with it everyday. breakfast i eat house brand cookies from supermarket or cereal. lunch i pack salads or sandwiches, or buy greasy chinese food from a food truck at the back of the building. yesterday i went out to eat with my classmates, had greasy chinese again from a food court. today we are going to cook and watch debate, pretty much what we have been doing for every past debate, it's quite fun. friday and saturdays i eat alcohol for dinner.

Hey both wan yue and I have passed our GRE (at least for verbal and quantitative) finally after our second try. If you need any material or advice (not sure whether it'll be a good one though) feel free to ask me.

Please do update us on what is going on in your life!

kk

busy

2006-10-29T14:07:00.000-08:00

hey dudes,

just a short note that all is still alive here in sd. (well, almost)
everyone is crazily busy with lab and work and theres just too many things gg on. if u think ur senior years were busy, i can safely say that we are twice as busy.
but well, we'll survive. try telling them not to work too hard. when are u coming for gradsch visits?

take care,
fm

What do u mean by asking them not to work too hard? how about yourself? Anyway for me i never think that my senior year was that busy, because i try to balance my life. maybe you guys have different priorities but for me research and doing well in exam is not everything. Hope that you guys can have a better overall development.

best wishes,
kk

How's everyone?

2006-10-14T19:22:00.000-07:00

Hey never hear from you guys for a long time liao... even sy never reply my mail lor... apparently work is more important than me haha...

Anyway I'm taking my GRE on Monday! Didn't prepare well ler... so gotta wish me luck! =P

You guys update me more on what's going on back there ok?

kk
Don't be so cruel and abandon this blog completely!

SMSC Welcome Party

2006-09-19T12:53:00.000-07:00

School's starting! Hope everyone is alive and kicking, ready to start another year of studies/work. For a jump start in spirits, the old members of SMSC (Singaporean Malaysian Student Circle) would like to host a welcoming potluck party for the new-comers, that is the freshmen, transfer, exchange students from Singapore and friends who just happened to chance upon our community. Details are as follows:

Date: Saturday 09/23/06
Time: 7:30 pm
Place: UCSD Sixth College Apartment 1420 (Courtesy of Ms. Tanya)
What to bring: EITHER food, if you have a kitchen at home and you can actually use it,
OR a good joke, if you can't cook. The joke will be assessed according to UCSD grading policies.
What to expect: Lots of good food, drinks and games (we will provide Jenga, Clue, Chess sets and Poker Cards). And of course a fabulous company to spend the night with. :)

So RSVP to us by Thursday, 09/21/06. Please include the following in your reply:

1. Your attendance: yes/no,
2. Number of guests you are bringing with you and
3. What food you will be bringing if any. (Don't tell the joke in advance if you're not bringing food.)

Parking (other than reserved) on campus is free on weekends.

My mind will be there! I will bring food cooked in the mind! =(
kk

Hey!!!

2006-09-17T06:57:00.000-07:00

Hey u all dun abandon this site ler!!!
Cook! Don't waste the ingredients! And don't just work in the lab! You guys are getting mad!
Anyway i'm starting work on Monday!

motivation can be "resparked"!

2006-09-08T05:32:00.000-07:00

Hey cannot slack when I'm not there!!! Even Stephen cooked!!!

Whatever it is, you guys have to take care of your own health, cooking soup and some healthy home made food is very important! Dun always eat lousy food... needless to say you guys all need good health for what you want to do!

Anyway the purpose of me coming on to this blog is to post a long overdue recipe (cos i just found my recipe book when i unpacked in singapore):

mushroom, ribs, fried oyster, fa cai stew
- preparations:
1. soak small mushrooms (the packet that i left over) overnight or other dries mushrooms for 1 to 2 hours (if there is time, change the water 1 to 2 times, saving the last batch of water for later)
2. soak dried oysters (i left a packet in the freezer i think) for about an hour
3. soak some fa cai for about 0.5 hours (i left some in the bottom shelf of the fridge, just use a small portion cos it will expand)
4. cut ribs into small pieces and use salt or hot water to 'wash' it

- cooking:
1. heat up oil, add some garlic and salt, fry for a while and then add soaked dried oyster, followed by ribs, then mushroom
2. continue frying until the water almost disappears and it is fragrant
3. add in the saved water from earlier (just enough to cover slightly more than half of the ingredients) and boil for 15 minutes, then medium to medium low heat for another 45 min to 1 hour until the meat is tender and not much water is left
4. add in the soaked fa cai 5 minutes before step 3 is done
5. when everything is done, add some light soya sauce until you think it tastes good

OK here's the recipe and xinyi hopefully u find the motivation to cook it! Of course others should try it as well if u want! I know it's kind of laborious but it's not that bad! =P

Oh for the herbs that i left behind, i think there is a recipe in one of the packets, fm can u see whether u can find it if u have time? If not i'll ask my mum again for the recipe.

Again hope u all cook! At least cook some healthy tasty soup!

Regards from Singapore,
kk

2006-09-01T23:38:00.000-07:00

2006-07-31T01:16:00.000-07:00

in lab now, seeding cells for tomorrow's experiment. last week astar asked the returning and departing people to attend a 3 day course- summer odyssey. actually quite interesting, and i did my MBTI personality type. E/I extrovertedness and introvertedness; S/N sensing and intuition; T/F thinking and feeling; and J/P judging and perceiving. The way the instructor placed it is actually quite interesting because she focused on the different working styles of people with different personality types and how to adapt to another personality type..I am ENTP.. E/I is pretty obvious. extroverted people tend to feel energetised in a group, introverted people prefer to be alone and to think before they speak. S/N. S people appear to be more detail orientated, and they notice the specifics, rather than the big picture. If they are asked to describe "ocean", they tend to give descriptives like fish, waves, doplhins, salty, seaweed, beach etc. But the N people tend to give descriptives like water, blue, grey, vast, they tend not to focus on the specifics.
T/F thinking and feeling... F people are more people orientated. although both might arrive at the same decision, the basis upon which they come to the decision is different. If T thinks that something is right, he/she will do it even if others are upset with it. F people are more senstive towards other people's needs and feelings. The instructor posed the following problem. You are part of a team of 6 people that won a prize. The prize allows you to go travelling as a group and claim up to $50000. but the only weekend that you guys are all free to go, one of the group memeber's grandmother fell very sick, and he has to take care of her. Will you fly without him. 3/4 groups say that they will fly without him. Most of the T people think that it is a waste of money not to fly and that they will compensate for him through other means. One of the F group actually said something that it quite interesting. they claim that he will be upset if the group stays back because of him, hence to make him feel better, they will fly. hmm. errr.
J/P is also interesting, because although all will plan when needed, the question is whether you will choose to plan when you don;t really need to. J people like to plan, and they prefer to plan, but P people try not to plan, as long as they don't have to. P people like to have options open, and they change their minds quite often, whereas J people are normally quite orderly. =p For those with very high P score right, when they change clothes, where their pants drop is where it will stay. they won't bother to pick it up and put back to the right place.=p
sigh.
it is quite interesting not because MBTI classifies people into 16 groups, but rather because people are actually so different. There is a score range between the 2 extremes in each case, and supposedly, if you are experiencing changes, like entering a lab that requires you to be very careful, you may shift from N to S...
=p
okay, enough rubbish for now. take care.

～～haiyoh.. how come you sigh in the middle of nowhere one?

i went to watch Cars yesterday. it is actually a very nice movie leh, in the sense that it is both funny and thoughtful and quite inspiring haha.. it is about this young racing car who dreams of winning the Piston cup (i think top racing car award in boston or something), and he is very good and extremely arrogant etc. but he tied with 2 other cars in the race, and the race has to be taken place in California again, for the 3 cars to see who will win. This little car got lost on his way to california, and got stuck in this remote car village.. etc etc.. the rest you guys can watch for yourselves. =p
nothing much on my side. haven't start work yet. just want to say hi, and take care actually. all the best people.

Pooh tops survey of favorite animal characters

2006-06-09T17:50:00.000-07:00

LONDON (Reuters) - Winnie the Pooh has been voted the nation's favorite animal character in a new survey, heading a list dominated by iconic bears like Paddington and Rupert.

Pooh, created by A.A. Milne, won 51 percent of the vote in the survey, against Paddington's 41 percent.

The Jungle Book's Baloo the bear was third with 32 percent, just one point ahead of Black Beauty and two ahead of Rupert in fifth.

The survey for the PDSA veterinary charity survey coincides with the launch of the Big Book Fetch to raise funds for pets in need of vets.

Conducted among 1,191 adults, it gave Ashlan the lion from "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" 30 percent along with Rupert, Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit 28 percent and Toad from "The Wind in the Willows" 27 percent.

Of course!!! Pooh bear is SO cute!

I changed the car arrangements already. I know it is kind of weird that kk picks up ppl on campus and lawrence picks up ppl off campus but there are 4 people on campus and lawrence's car can only take another 3 ppl. So can desmond and kk and lawrence confirm if the arrangment is ok? desmond, u shd know where ed stays too rite? as for kk, do u want me to ask all of them to meet at one place, say behind the geisel bookdrop (where the current regents shuttle stop is at)?~xy

Gathering proposal - Sat Apr 15

2006-04-06T13:54:00.000-07:00

Heya all,

wanted to ask you guys last night, but forgot with all the flurry of cooking. anyway...

what do you guys think about a gathering next weekend (maybe Saturday)? the idea in my head is a dessert (thus after meal) potluck.

i think my house is too much of a mess, but i was also thinking about having this at mesa housing (where we had that thanksgiving thing last year?)

what do you guys think?? good, bad? cause i think we have a few new people, and it'll be nice to see all the graduates again, before they all disappear (if they are, of course)

let me know what you think!!!

Should be fine with me!
