Shelling Ginkgo Nuts

Have you seen ginkgo nuts before? There it is. I suddenly caught sight of a round prism shaped nut. That is very unusual for me.

  Firstly, shell the hard shell of the ginkgo nuts. Then peel off their brown coloured thin skin.

  Cut the shelled ginkgo into half. Do you see the embryo like structure there? That is the core, it is bitter in taste and quite toxic, that is why we need to remove it.

You can use a toothpick or a knife to remove the core.

Yummy Muffin

My sister baked some muffins for breakfast today. How to make a nutritious and delicious breakfast muffin? Here is the recipe:

• 225g flour
• 1tbsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 100 g vegetable oil
• 225ml milk
• 150g sugar
• 2 eggs

Preheat the oven at 170 °C for 5 minutes. Mix the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and then add in the wet ingredients and mix until the mixture become smooth. Fill the batter into each of the muffin cups until 70% filled or any proportion depends on you. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until they turns golden brown at 170 °C. To check whether they are thoroughly cooked, poke the muffin with wooden chopstick, if no wet four stick to the chopstick that means they are ready to be served. Serve them hot with a cup of tea. Enjoy!

A 'Love' Letter From Australia

Don't misunderstand, the term love here means a true friendship. That is the letter sent by my good old friend, Ching Sin. Ching Sin I received it today, thanks for the letter. After being apart for 5 years, we finally meet again. That is the power of friendship which will never drew us apart. She migrated to Australia for last 3 years and she is now studying in Australia. Hmm.. Talking about migration, does anyone know any place in the world that is the best place for our Malaysians to find some 'peace' or better living environment? Which country would be the best place to migrate? My geography techer suggested here, probably Australia and New Zealand. In fact many seniors from my secondary school already migrated to Australia.Well, what about you?

Sending The Books Back to The SPBT Room

Luvlynn was so busy with the books while the teacher was checking the books sent, whether they were complete. Everybody was queuing up to pass up the books. It was a common scene after the SPM was finished.

Thank you teachers!

Teachers, thank you for looking after us, care for our 'needs'.

What happen in the last day of SPM?

Geography was the last subject. We were so relax. Layveeniea and the gang were joking and laughing. Me too... I was not looking serious neither. I was trying to be serious but I can't!

They were teachers (guru pemeriksa) from Sekolah Menengah Teknik Setapak. Those teachers were busy packing. Then we helped the one of the teacher shift some stuffs to her car.
