My waste stuff

As i promised in my previous post; to post a creative book made of waste papers and recycled newspaper. The art is bit crappy as i was rushing to do it. hehe not a excuse.. lol ~

So here is some of the pics. Mostly i used newspaper. Some of leftover color papers. The ring is the one that i used put together all my lecture notes (miss being a student.. )

Uuuu.. i used love shape as it is the easiest to do (you can see above pic).. and its global too. lol ~

*peace out*

Heatwave

Think of yummy drinks, ice creams and ice cold lemon tea during this fantastic weather. LOL !! Seriously, feel like dying (x________x) in this warm and super hot weather. I wonder how people are surviving with less water and food in Africa and India. Needless to say, we are suffering from this heat wave because of our generous contribution towards global warming.

Iced Lemon Tea

Not only its warm and all, now I have mouth ulcer which is killing me like hell. So, as usual when I get any sick I will do whatever it takes to cure it. I found few remedies for mouth ulcer, one of it that works for me was the holy basil leaves (check my previous post for detail on holy basil). Chew the leaves and drink it with water. Do these for at least 5 to 6 times per day.

Another thing you can do is to try drink cooling type drinks. For example ice lemon tea, young coconut, pudding and yogurt drinks. Basic 8 glass water per day is very important rule to follow. For this heat season, I share mango sorbet recipe which turns out to be yummy one (You do not need ice cream maker for this).

Mango Sorbet

• 3 ripe mangoes
• 200gm icing sugar
• 1 ½ lemon (juice only)

Method:
Slice the mangoes into chunks then add in the icing sugar, lemon juice and mangoes to food processor. Blend to puree. Freeze it for 2 hours. And then take it out, toss into the food processor again and blend it again. Make sure this time it is really blended. And freeze it overnight. Whola.. enjoy the mango sorbet.

*peace out*

Bye Bye ~

Last month, I pronounced death of my 160GB external HD as it suffered from few unknown injuries. Due to the injuries, the disk was unreadable thus cannot be detected as well. I mourn for the whole day. It’s just a one year old baby = (. I was really really sad. I don’t mind the HD but the content of it. I had a whole lot of collection which I haven burn yet (or backup). My software collections, Johnny’s collection, TV series collection, some pictures (most valuable thing ~) and also my complete resume too. What a fool am I !! wuuaaaaa that's why they say you can’t cry over a split milk.

REST IN PEACE

American Idol Finale.

So another round of my favorite reality star did not manage to win. First it was Allison from ANTM and now Adam Lambert. Though I still think he deserves to win but Kris Allen is just fine. The last song “No Boundaries” really suited his voice (except for high notes!!).

Anyway, the finale was really awesome, with great performances by all of the stars and the top 12 was great too. I have to say, my favorite was Black Eyed Peas and KISS with Adam Lambert performances. And for the part I hated most is definitely Tatiana, she is so annoying. But was it hoax or real for the finale show (the part she grabs mike from Ryan and started to sing). But most of the audience had their shocked face on. Whatever is it…I hate her. Ha-ha.

Plus, one the moment i liked was the kara vs bikini girl moment.. that was fun.lol. somehow kara show her where she stands.. and also bikini does not help you to achieve all.. hahah

Hope Adam Lambert will release his single soon… can’t wait

Garbage enzyme

I have posted earlier about making our world a better place (GOING GREEN). Well I really meant it about it. Looking back, our earth is badly hurt and we can see by all the warm climates, diseases and polluted airs.

I kept to my promises; I did my small part by trying the garbage enzyme. Not only that, I manage to brainwash my aunties to do it too. Also, I shared with them about the environmental issues and what we can do to save it. I am really serious about these things. It’s scary if you really think of our future.

So here is it, prove of the garbage enzyme. It has to be kept for 3 month before we can really use it. I’ve kept mine for two months. I update about it once I have really used it. See, you do not really need to do something big, start from something small and evolve from that. You can make a difference. Trust me.

Simple thing we can do:-

1. Recycle your papers. I used my lecture notes to print other stuff on the back of the paper. I used some the used paper to create a small notebook (will update in my next blog).


2. Use old newspapers to clean your window, it is really clean. I tried it! But you might want to use gloves (do use the plastic one (reduce plastics), use the knitted type.) because the ink might absorb to your fingernails.


3. Try to clean your fans regularly. The dust makes it to use more power to spin. If you clean it you get a breezy air. At the same time, reduce the power consumption.


4. “STAND BY” mode you pc’s or lappie whenever you are not using it. Less power consumption.

Really hope we can make difference and save the earth.

So unfair ANTM!!

Oh my god !!! ALIEN TEYONA won antm cycle 12..horrible. I think Tyra should really pick one she likes and make her top model, she don need a show cause at the end she pick who she likes. Allison deserve better. She improved alot. Whatever!

Finale

I am big fan of all the TV SERIES (Actually crazy of TV SERIES). So, this week is the finale of ANTM cycle 12 and also Next week will be American idol (AI) finale.

I haven’t watched the finale of ANTM. Hope Allison wins it because plainly I do not like aminat and teyona. Both of them look like aliens. Well, I was not feeling well this couple of days, so I did not get chance to surf net and download. I’m doing it right now actually. Oh I avoided all the spoilers so far. Hehe

As for AI, I got to know the final two even before the show aired and all thanks to the local news for being a spoiler!! Why do they have to announce it? Damn, was really angry about it but got over it after I watched the show. Gokey was out and he ends it with a breath-taking song. Though I was rooting for Gokey and Lambert to be in Final but Kris was not bad at all esp. Heartless for Kanye West. Anyway, moving on.. so the final two would be Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. Can’t wait to tune it and my vote definitely goes for Adam Lambert. He is brilliant. I just love all the performances he made so far. Since the audition till now he is brilliant and I just love him!!

P/s: really hope Kara won’t be the judge for next season. She is simply annoying and her comment does not make sense.

-peace out-

Salad Crave

All of sudden, it was salad for breakfast, salad for lunch and salad for dinner. All I was eating was salad salad salad and more salad. Hahaha I must be pretty crazy. Well, no harm to eat more vegetables right? The best part is that I did not really follow the salad recipe. I simply chucked whatever I had in fridge and guess what it taste just good (for me lah). Just to share the recipe if you guys want to try to.

Salad O Salad

• 1 medium sized Cucumber
• Few Salad leaves (the round type)
• 1 or 2 Tomatoes
• 3 slices of Chicken Ham
• 2 slices of Wholemeal Bread
• Salt & pepper for taste
• Olive oil (up to you if you like it)

Dice those tomatoes and cucumber. In non-stick pan, add bit of butter or oil, stir fry the
shredded chicken ham. For the wholemeal bread, toast it and cut it into cubes (or any way

you want it). Add all into a bowl mix with olive oil, pepper and salt. Wholah, you have you’re

salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh for the olive oil, I did not add as I m not a big fan of olive oil. But it taste just fine for me without olive oil.

I am not done with salads yet, after few days I got face slapped (this is what we say in Tamil for being ‘muak’ of the food) by meaty foods, so I decided to be a VEGAN again which reminded me of my friends used to scold me for being vegan all the time. Sorry guys!!

Back to salad’s story, so even though I was vegan I didn’t get over my salad cravings. One fine afternoon, my mom decided not to cook, so I decided to cook (give her break lah). And when I was digging the fridge… Guess what? I found all ingredients for salad AGAIN. So I thought of making myself a Vegetarian Salad for lunch. If you wondering what happen to my mum, she backed out she chooses rice over the salad. Here is the picture of it.

For this recipe I used cherry tomatoes (yum yum) and vegetarian chicken which is made of soya. The process is same as the above.

I really regret I did not choose to be chef (so I can do more salads).

-peace out-

Saturday Night Fever!

My title may sound fun but the truth is I had a bad cold fever last Saturday. Sneezing, running nose and killer sore throat is more to annoying kind of sick rather than painful. I am the type who does not like to go consult a doctor. I will try to cure all by myself and be the doctor. Well I did. I got this influence from my grandma. Whenever we (my brother and I) are sick or hurt ourselves by doing some stunts, she’ll run to a small bush in front her house and grab some leaves and start to do medicine from it. I have got to say it really works actually. It was some of the home remedies that her mother taught her and people from those days used before panadols (bad for health actually) and antibiotics were created to fight the virus. They say that you can’t cure flu and it will go away on its own but you can do something to reduce it though. Here are some successful homes remedies that made me fever free.



I will definitely start with helpful home remedies for annoying sore throats because sore throats always shows the early sign of getting fever. You can use cinnamon (I use this method) to cure it.

• What you have to do is take a teaspoon of cinnamon powder , pinch of pepper, one table spoon of honey and glass of water. Boiled it together and drink it. Actually the drink taste pretty good. This is for an early stage of sore throat.




• Let say that remedy did not really helped you then you can try the second remedy for sore throat which is add all together lime juice, pinch of pepper and tablespoon of honey.

• I have never tried this but some other elders say that holy basil leaves (Indians call it ‘thulasi’) helps to relieve annoying sore throat. Boil water and few of the leaves and you can either drink it or gargle with it. Below is the picture of holy basil:-

Then there is cold fever and cough left, as for this you can use few methods as well. As for cough, I do not like to drink cough medicine because it makes you drowsy so usually I will rather cough than drinking ‘drug’ (ha-ha).

• A very good way of healing cough is by boiling water with aniseed (some call starseed;below is the pic) and pour it in a teabag. And drink it while it’s hot. It taste just like cough syrup but the only thing is that it does not make you drowsy (or being drugged =P) and you feel relieved.

• One of the oldest methods of healing flu is by drinking garlic soup. But usually my mum will just make an empty porridge with only few garlic cloves which also quite good. I read in an article saying that, garlic contains antiseptic which help to fight the virus. Ginger also another good remedy for flu as it act as brother for garlic.

As for me, whenever I get flu I will just try to eat more oranges which mean more vitamins C and it really helped. Be caution, not all can take oranges when they are having flu as for some people it might make the flu even worse. But as for me it’s all clear and quite good.
This is just some of the home remedies that I know and I used. There is a lot more available out there. Applying home remedies is better than taking pills (as in for me). I am not sure about others but you can give it a try no harm (unless you have any allergic to any of those spices)

-Peace out-
