On Body Weight

I now am understand when, before, the 25+ adults around me say...
how nice you can eat whatever you want and as much as you want without getting fat. Enjoy, cause once you've reached 25+ age, your body reads a kilo for a 100 grams of chocolate bar.

I can soooo relate myself to that saying.
It' so hard for me now to loose weight, need to do a lot of hard work just to shed a couple of kilos.

Hiks..
I miss you my teen's body!

A quarter life!

Finally I'm at this stage..

Lol.

I am very grateful of what I have and had.
And looking forward for what am having.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Wow It's mid April! And Kangaroo Island Trip

Like.. Already!!
Nooo! Bring me back summer!
Hehe..

Remarkable Rocks 

Throwing back, last summer, I went to Kangaroo Island with my parents, sister and niece. How I adore Kangaroo Island. There's a SeaLink bus picked us up from our hotel to get in to the ferry, which was about 45 minutes drive. Then for another 45 minutes in the ferry, will get you to Penneshaw.
From there, we got on to the bus again to begin the island tour.

All the way, the scenery was gorgeous. We visited Seal Bay and admired the seals sunbathed and played in the beach, Admiral's Arch, Remarkable Rocks which really were remarkable, Flinder's Chase National Park to look out for Koalas and Kangaroos in their most nature habitat.

There's a lot of tour options and activities you can do there, I wish I could go back again someday and do some more activities! For you that are looking after a get away, Kangaroo Island is highly recommended. Breath taking!

Mum and bub seal at Seal Bay

Here, we were so close up with the seals but to still keep at least 10m from them so they won't feel threatened. The sand in this Seal Bay was sooo soft I loved burying my feet in them. 

p.s. do not start to ask me what's the difference between seals, sea lions, and walrus. I was too busy admiring those cutie seals and didn't pay fully attention to the guide's explanations.

Disney

" A man must shave for to spare his daughter's cheeks"
- Travers Goff

Here we are in Sydney's gloomy rainy season, an hour more sleep on a rainy sunday.
Winter is coming soon! argh..
It's one afternoon I spent after work watching Saving Mr. Banks.
Oh how we all grow up with Disney.
All the rainbow after rain, the live happily ever after, the godmother fairy and its magic.
Thank or blame Disney?

True Thing About Goodbye

True goodbyes are the ones never said or explained.

I've experienced this and it makes me thinking and thinking and thinking about the person even more and it's unpleasant!

True?

Roast Pork (with crackling of course)

My parents was here in Sydney for 3 weeks, and how enjoyable it was when they were here.

It makes me realise even more how they love me and how I love them. :)

Today I just want to share one of the dish I made for them, roasted pork leg. They enjoyed it very much, yay! 

Roast Pork

2kg of Boneless Pork Leg

Herbs (I used thyme and sage this time)

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Method:

1. Preheat oven 220°C/425°F

2. Score the rind of the pork, I criss-crossed it, but one line scoring will look good too. 

3. Pat dry your pork using paper towel. 

4. Rub the salt and pepper all over, especially salt on and in the rind, to ensure you get the crackling crackle :) .

p.s. For a better result, do these hours before roasting (ideally overnight), put in the fridge uncovered. The salt will absorb all the water out from the pork, ensuring a success crackling. 

5. I like to also tuck in some herb in between the scoring, so you can do that too.. 

6. Drizzle olive oil all over

7. In a baking dish, make a herb bed and put your pork on top of it. 

8. Put it in the oven skin side up for 20 minutes at 220°C.

9. Take the temp down to 170°C for 1 hour

10. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

11. Slice, serve and attack! 

I served this with roast veggies; zucchini, baby carrot, yellow and red capsicum, garlic, potato. Just cut them into chunks, mix with salt, pepper, herbs, olive oil and give them a good shake. 

There will be some good amount of oil after roasting, do not throw it away. It's like gold for your stir fries or veggies roasting next time. 

Scary World We Live In

The world is so scary
The people in it are..

You'll never know what one thinks, and you'll never know whether they are taking advantage of you or not.

What you know is at the end of the day, there's a pain in your heart and it won't go.

I'm scared....

W. Mitty

Hello!

It was raining when I fell asleep. Hard.
I think I had a very good sleep.. Took all my tiredness away. Hehe..

I watched Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I loved it!
The way it's written and directed *talking like a movie expert lol* is just great.
Well I guess a lot of people can relate to the character, Walter Mitty. The zone-out part, the crazy imaginations part.. The shyness, the needed of courage.. adventure.. and just go-out-there-and-do-it..

Watch it! It inspires.

One other thing, I think Ben Stiller is cute. Groom or ungroom, haha..

Heart Broken

I was a first timer. I hadn't ever felt broken hearted before. I didn't quite understand what does it mean by as if the world's going to end, how you couldn't eat, sleep, or focus the most hours when you're awake.

It wasn't pleasant, it's sickening.

I guess, what you think is best needs to be done.. And I've done it. Well me and (now) TWXB have. As the quote says, "if you really love that person. Learn to wait. Maybe you're not meant to be together for today but in the future."

I don't know how many sorrys and thank yous should I be given to TWXB. And I truly, deeply wish him all the best of the very best.
