回家

太久太久都没上blogspot 了,原因有很多很多。。。
第一,因为上个月回家一个月;
第二,回家之前和之后,工作都很忙;
第三,很忙,夏天大减价,忙着去扫货;
第四,懒惰。。。
第五、六、七、八、。。。都是懒惰!

一转眼,三年了,
三年在国外,离乡背井在国外生活。。
那天六月十一日一早,
背着电脑包,拖着大行李一个人从住所搭的士到机场,
心情很愉快,因为想象到几十个小时过后就能与家人见面的情景,
真的好开心。。

回到KLIA时,已经是六月十二日下午了,
一出境就见到远从槟岛开车来接我的大哥,
过后再到cheras去载小弟,才一起回家,
全家人都为了我这一次的回家而高兴,
这三年的团圆饭也在今晚上一起吃!

爸妈的白头发、皱纹,
让我感到辛酸,
他们都老了,
为了孩子,他们还要挨着过日子,
爸妈,我会让你们感到幸福欣慰的!
我还要常回家看你们!

离开三年,
我错失了很多亲情,
先是二舅的过世,
接着是外婆,还有大舅。。感叹。。
小表弟、小表妹、小侄儿、小侄女,通通都长大咯,
这也证明我年纪也不小了。。

跟几个朋友见面,
大家都生活的不错,似乎习惯了早出晚归的生活,
我只叹大马的生活太压力,
不知以后回来这里做工还能不能适应,
天气热、早出晚归,有时还要加班、压力又大。。。

溜溜记 13.03.2010-16.03.2010

哇,最近懒到。。。那么久都没写blog 了,
每次都是一天拖一天,
明天的明天才等到今天!
现在才upload 那天三月去滑雪的照片,
雪都溶完了,因为冬天已经过去了。
现在正要进入夏天咯,
反而嫌天气太热,好累。
哎!人就是这样,
冬天时嫌冷;夏天嫌热,
永不知足!

路途中,停下来歇息!
滑雪用具。说到要去滑雪时,个个都兴致勃勃,新体验嘛!去一趟滑雪, 用费还高过去旅行。买穿的、租用具都很贵,穿的也只用一次而已,除非年年冬天都去滑雪一次。

第一天,在等待教练。整装待发!

 第一天的天气不是很好,风又大。但是呢。。。。

来滑雪的人还是很多,可能是周末的关系吧!

排排队,等教练, 一个一个来。由于从来没有滑过雪,也不会溜冰,这第一天,时间过得好慢。不断跌倒,怕起来, 又跌,有几次真的就想放弃了。那一晚,很累、全身肌肉很酸、但很好睡,哈!

第二天,天气晴朗但不多人, 因为是星期一,只有我们这几个人还在偷懒。

‘坐’ski lift 上去,再滑下来。 这一天的状况好多了。

累了,歇息歇息 

蓝天白云,原来天空那么大, 世界那么大!




Lecht- 我们去滑雪的那个地方。 距离我们住的地方两小时的车程

yo~全体总动员!

在山边。。。

天气寒冷,可怜的鹿饿死在山边。

 落叶归根

 看到中间那头牛吗?那可是苏格兰的牛哦,我把它取名为‘刘海’牛,因为它有很cool 的刘海。

新年来咯!!!!!

这个星期天就是农历新年了,
人在西方国家 ,
没有什么新年的气氛,
但是想家的心仍然无法改变,
我真的很想离开这里,
因为这里始终不是我的家,
生活过得再好再享受,
都比不上家的温暖。

阿牛回乡过年记
这首歌
听了真的很感触,
家永远是游子的避风港!

前几天,
上Ohbin 的Blog 去找食谱,
看到了做肉干的食谱,
忽然很想念肉干,
决定做来吃吃,自己创造新年的气氛!

 
刚出炉的肉干,颜色还不错吧。


做好的,冷却了的肉干。觉得还差了点什么似的,就是吃不出来。
自改食谱 (原谱Ohbin 食谱):
猪绞肉 500g
鱼露  1 1/2 汤匙
酱油 1 1/2 汤匙
黑酱油 1 1/2 汤匙
绍兴酒 1 1/2 汤匙
糖浆 Golden Syrup 1 汤池 (烤出来后比较上色)
糖 100g

1。 把绞肉和其它材料一起放入一个大碗,向同一个方向搅拌直猪肉起价胶。
2。把搅拌均匀的肉放在baking paper 上用杆面棍秆平。
3。预热烤箱 130度,15 分钟。把杆平的肉放入烤15分钟后,把温度调至180度再烤20分钟。间中取出肉干,翻向另一面烤 (这样颜色才比较均匀)。
4。取出肉干,待凉后便可以吃了!

Chicken Curry + Udon Noodles 咖喱鸡加乌东面

搬过来Aberdeen 快一个月半了,仍然还无法适应这里的天气。
以前住在贝法时还常抱怨那里的天气变换无常,怎知这里的天气是无法预测的无常!
贝法的冬天,我还能穿着牛仔裤、短袖加件冬衣在路上行走。
Aberdeen 的冬天,除了牛仔裤和冬衣,我还需要多穿裤袜和长袖再加手套。
大风的时候,还是会觉得很冷。
也许这里是英国的东北部,所以气候也比较寒冷。
寒冷的冬天,最想念的食物,就是那碗热腾腾的汤, 来保暖保暖。
肉骨茶、咖喱鸡、火锅等都是在冬天里最期待的食物。
那天心血来潮,煮了咖喱鸡来吃,味道很好,又简易(因为是用市面上调好的咖喱酱料煮的)。
咖喱汤又热又辣,阿升和我吃了都还想再吃。




这次用的是虾面酱料,和咖喱鸡酱料的味道不同。我还是比较喜欢用咖喱鸡的酱料来煮咖喱鸡,阿升却喜欢这个味道,他说这个有“虾味”, 比较香。



前面这碗是我的,后面大碗的是阿升的。


这次用了乌东面,口感还不错,吃了还想再吃。

材料:
鸡腿 6个
马铃薯 4个(大)
button mushroom 10 颗
蟹柳 6条(依个人喜欢)
芽菜 1饭碗
洋葱(中) 半个

煮法:
1)将鸡腿、马铃薯和button mushroom 洗净,把鸡腿切一半,马铃薯切成小块,button mushroom 切成四份一大小。先把切好的马铃薯浸泡在盐水,以免发黑。
2)把洋葱切碎后, 热锅。
3)放入油,把洋葱炒香后放入鸡腿块、马铃薯和button mushroom炒熟。
4)加入虾面酱料,再炒一会。
4)煮滚开水,加入炒熟的材料,焖煮30分钟或直到马铃薯变得松暖。
5)把乌东面谈烫熟,放入碗里。
6)把蟹柳、芽菜煮熟(要保持芽菜的脆度),倒如放有务东面的碗里, 最后把咖喱鸡也倒入碗里。完成、上桌!

Hainanese Chicken Rice

I was invited to have lunch in one of my friend's house last two weeks. The lunch was so nice and impressive. we had had Hainanese chicken rice with the soup, cranberry, pecan and white chocolate cheesecake as dessert, all were prepared and cooked by my friend. She is really a wonderful wife!


The Hainanese chicken rice cooked by my friend, Ling. It is nicely decorated. The chili sauce is hot and spicy, it complements the chicken perfectly.


Cranberry, pecan and white chocolate cheesecake, made by Ling.

Alright, it is my turn now! First of all, I am not a good decorator and neither in photography, I only "focus on eating", haha! It takes about 3 hours to prepare and cooking it. There are divided into three steps, first: cook the chicken and then put it into a cold water bath; secondly: use the chicken soup to cook the rice; third step: prepare the chili sauce. The recipe was taken from the Steamy Kitchen.


The Hainanese chicken.



Chong likes bean sprouts and therefore specially cook this steamed bean sprouts together with the chicken rice. This became our home-cooked "Asian" Christmas meal. He likes it very much and keep asking when will I cook again.

The snow and sub-zero temperature



It had been snowing heavily before and after Christmas. The snow on the ground and the untreated surfaces are too icy, it tends to make people fall. The temperature was just below freezing but with a brisk wind, the chill factor will probably make you feel bitterly cold more like -9oC.


The streets are so crowded during this time of the year (Before Christmas). Everyone was busy with their Christmas shopping. I had been busy shopping for food a few days before Christmas having realised that the shop will normally close earlier on Christmas eve and Boxing day. No shop will be opened on Christmas day. I remember the day when I arrived in one of the local supermarket, I was shocked as all the poultry in the display racks were sold out. I then ran to the other supermarket for poultry. The journey was prolonged as the icy roads were slippery and I nearly fall for some times. It was really tiring. I was thinking then to invest on sensible footwear to keep me balance.


The streets become quiet during Christmas day, you can hardly hear the sound of the car pass-by. All shops were closed. Everyone were at home celebrating the cold Christmas. The traditional Christmas dinner would be roasted turkey with some trimmings. Instead of sitting at home doing nothing, I cooked the Hainanese Chicken Rice for the first time. It was successful. Chong said, “Thumbs up”. I will upload the photo someday later.



Snows- The magic blankets, it hides those ugly and makes everything beautiful.


The thickness of snow on the ground impede motion, prolonged one's journey, it is at least 10cm.



We normally saw this in the freezer (the older version), but I saw this in the car park beside train station. The effect of supercooling!



I was so excited and dreaming about the white Christmas when it started to snow, however, it actually snow before and after Christmas!



Row of small Christmas trees were covered by the snow.
