The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

roti bakar

最近这几天不知道为什么这么想以前常吃的食物。所以都在google一些有的没有的照片和食谱,真的是不吃都肥。所以突然间就想写点关于食物的东西来解解干渴。那就先说说roti bakar吧。

roti bakar 呢就是两片面包用炭火烤,一定要用炭烤,用toaster烤的面包永远都不会有炭烤面包的香气。当炭火把面包烤得焦黄的时候,涂上一层厚厚的kaya和一层厚厚的牛油,然后把两面包夹在一起,对切一半,就是举世无双的roti bakar 了。

roti bakar是一种很平民的食物,是每一个kopitiam都会有的。不管是大城市还是偏僻乡下,都一定少不了它。roti bakar+kopi o+半生蛋,陪伴着多多少少人度过多少美好的早晨。

第一次爱上roti bakar是去了PLKN之后。那时候生病了,妈妈到camp里接我去看医生,等门诊等了快两个小时,折腾了一个下午。妈妈看我一整天都没吃东西,就到隔 壁的kopitiam打包东西给我吃。那时候已经是下午三四点了,所有摊铺都打烊了,就只剩下roti bakar。当我第一口吃下妈妈给我买的roti bakar时,觉得roti bakar怎么会这么好吃。那一刻,真的觉得能吃到roti bakar真的是太幸福了。

以前,我非常看不起roti bakar,觉得它是卑贱的食物,是那一种到处可得的,根本就没有什么值得吃的。可是,当我在PLKN camp 里,经历了能够吃到不知隔了几夜的面包就会超开心的日子之后,再吃到外酥内软的roti bakar时,简直是受宠若惊...那一个下午我真的是笑得合不拢嘴。我真的不是夸张,那时候吃到roti bakar时的感动和喜悦,用文字是难以形容的,也许可以说像是一个努力了十几年的演员,这一刻终于获得了最佳男主角奖的那一种说不出的感动。

我现在好饿哦... 好想吃哦... 在这里买一个roti bakar竟然贵过麦当劳的汉堡。

真的是所谓的以少为贵

Fiona's cooking diary (Milo choc-chips muffins)


I bought a packet of choc-chips last winter break and left it in my kitchen until today. Suddenly decided to finish off the packet of choc-chips this afternoon. What a pity if it's just gonna to stay in my kitchen's basket till expire. So, choc-chips muffins!!!

So, looking for ingredients in kitchen... Chop-chips, tick; flour, tick; sugar and egg, tick; butter, tick; bicarbonate soda...er.., tick; milk, er.... er.... oh ho..., we don't drink milk...

Good, no milk for muffins and I was definitely too lazy to get changed just for a carton of milk...

Ok, what's now?? Facebook... Thanks for the opinions on Facebook and let me decided to substitute milk with milo.... Haha... It should turn out fine I hope... =P

Then, the process of making muffins was a disaster. First, I forgot the bicarbonate soda and I was stupid enough to mix the powder in egg instead of the mixture. Later, I forgot about butter. And I had to melt the butter with microwaves and only remembered to mix it into the mixture just before I pour the mixture into the muffin tin. And when I but it into oven, then I realised that vanilla essence was not in there.

Piuh... it turned out to be quite alright, just slightly undercooked in the middle...

Well, got to give it another try.... =)

突然的想起

如果有一个人问我,你有没有恨过人?我的答案会是有。恨一个人和讨厌一个人是不一样的。只有真的恨过的人才会知道恨是什么。恨一个人是当你想起他的时候会想要掐死他,每时每刻想要报复他,看到他的时候会发抖,可是却默默祈求他不要死,因为想要看到他生不如死的样子。

恨是辛苦,是无力的,如果痛恨一段过去会让生命更痛苦,那又何必呢,所以才选择原谅。

我曾经用好几年的时间去痛恨一个人,曾经想过报复,曾经计划了一连串的报复计划,可是庆幸在执行计划前,我先选择了放下,放开,原谅。原谅说的容易,怎样才是原谅。恨一个人不需要别人的参与,但是原谅却需要外在的力量。当你有勇气说出你心中的恨,那就是原谅的开始。第一次说出来时,我心中是害怕的,身体在微微颤抖,是需要勇气的,是必须经历的。当你可以很坦然地在下午茶时,说出痛恨的那一段过去,当你可以和朋友一起咒骂你痛恨的那个人,当你可以很天马行空的和朋友一起讨论报复计划时,其实你已经开始原谅他,原谅那段过去了。

如果当你看到听到类是你的过去的故事,而想起过去的那一瞬间能很平静,那你已经原谅你的过去。
如果你看到听到他的消息的那一瞬间,心中没有半点澎湃,那你已经完全原谅这个人了。

刚刚我在看一部韩剧,《检察官公主》,看到了一个很类是的案件,就突然想起了那段过去。很惊讶的是我竟然没有一点感觉,不痛也不痒,只是一个好笑的过去。

所以我成功啦,成功原谅但没有遗忘。选择忘记不代表就能原谅,那只是放弃而不是放下。

圆圆圆





从小,我就很爱吃汤圆,特别是黑芝麻汤圆。圆圆滚滚的汤圆里面流出热腾腾的黑芝麻馅,真的是没有开玩笑的好吃。 最近嘴巴又馋了,就决定自己动手戳汤圆。看着食谱,哇好像很简单叻。结果,把自己埋在厨房了一整天,就只戳出以上盘子了的那么几颗汤圆。要把黑芝麻馅包在汤圆里,又不能露馅,是真的要靠功夫的。

把汤圆煮了煮,味道和口感跟外面买的没什么两样,所以领悟了一个道理:
要吃,外面买就有,不需要那么费神。
