Happy 29th of February!

It's the 29th today! An extra day in February and tomorrow marks the start of spring :) Let's be happy, the gloomy winter is soon going to be over and say hello to colours! Yay!! This means I can wear all my colourful clothes as well as my heels. No more layering etc :p

This morning, the mayor of Carderdale came to give us the seniors a brief speech about... I'm not really sure, but I know it's something to do with being happy and so on. I found it quite interesting actually, although my moment was a lil bit interrupted by some noisy guys sitting behind me. I can't really recall all of the things that he's told us, but there are some points that I'm sure will always be remembered by me and here are some of them:

1. Always wear comfy shoes. (I do agree with that, from my past experience :p)

2. Wake up early and see the sunshine.

3. Be nice to others. (cliché)

4. Don't worry about the future.

5. Dare to do something that scares you at least everyday.

6. DANCE! (Now, I really do like this point. I realise that dancing actually lifts up my spirit :D )

7. SING! (Same as dancing; they're like my cocaine somehow)

and so on... something related to Steve Jobs... something about keeping in touch with your best friends and yadayada.

So that's it! Enjoy your day! :)

Healthy and happy :)

I haven't been out jogging for the past few weeks... No, let's just say few months, eversince winter struck. I'm a tropical type of chic, so even a little temperature drop would stop me from being active... outside. Hahaha

And I couldn't just... tuck myself in the blanket all day, everyday. I love moving my body, being active! Since I'm not really a gym-lover either, I decided to google or should I say Youtube-d some workout videos which would keep me fit during this cold season.

Here are some great and fun workout videos that I found:

Stay healthy, be happy!

Sunday Recipe: Tom Yum

Assalamualaikum and hi all! It's been a while since I last posted something on my blog, sorry about that. I was busy with school works (exams, projects etc.) as well as being too lazy due to the lack of inspiration and the snail a.k.a slow internet speed at school. Nonetheless I'm back and ready to be an active blogger again (hopefully, I am committed to my words now :p)
Last night, I was surfing the net and found some really great and awesome blogs! The articles that they posted there are so interesting and they don't just stick to one topic and this really inspires me to be back here again, and this time talking about a wide range of things from food, fashion DIYs and many more.

Right, enough of that.

Today I want to share to all of you this one thing that I have just discovered about myself: I can cook. I mean, seriously, I MADE A TOM YUM SOUP ALL BY MYSELF! I was so proud of myself. I actually made this soup like a few days ago but I'm just going to spill out the recipe to my readers (if any) of my easy and simple Tom Yum soup (the college student style):

Ingridents:
(Note: I didn't really use accurate measurements. It was all based on taste and instinct :D )
3 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
6 cloves of shallots, thinly sliced
3 sticks of lemon grass, chopped (2 cm thick, and slanted style (ya know what I mean))
1 or 2 galangal, sliced (not too thin, around 5 mm thick)
chilli paste
some tomatoes, chopped
salt
sugar
lemon juice
coriander, chopped
some prawns
muchrooms
(and some other seafood if you want, I used beef sausage because that's all I've got )

Steps:
-get a pot, fill it in with water
-all ingradients in except prawns, coriander, mushroom and additional ingredients.
-wait till the water boils
-then the rest goes into the boiling water.

And you're done! Sadly the picture of my Tom Yum is in my phone and I don't have the USB cable so may be I'll post it up later. Anyway, happy cooking!♥
