Life in Mono...

Creepy...

We had Friday Night Dinner at Fremantle today. We had dinner at this yummy Mexican Restaurant on the Cafe Strip. After dinner we headed to The Fremantle Prison. This place gives me the Heebie Jeebies because of the history and how haunted this place is. *shudders*.

Anyway, it took a few shots to get the lighting for this place right. I was so scared that I might have taken "something else".

Growth...

Everywhere in Perth, all you can see now are these cranes. Perth is really growing and FAST too.

Stir-fried beef and noodles...

It may not look yummy in this picture but trust me it is. Mmmm.... I had this for dinner. This recipe is taken from my JC cook book called "healthy living for life".

It serves 4 and per-serve it has 2597 Kilojoules (618 cal). 13.6g of fat and 4.1g of saturated fat.

Ingredients:-

• 400g packet of fresh rice noodles
• olive oil spray
• 2 eggs lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons peanut oil
• 500g lean rump steak, trimmed and thinly sliced across the grain
• 3 tablespoon kecap manis (or sweet soy sauce)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt reduced soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt reduce fish sauce
• 300g bean sprouts
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• lemon wedges to serve

How to:-

• Put Noodles in a large heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and soak for 8 minutes or until soften (or follow packet instructions). Gently separate the noodles and drain.
• Heat a wok over medium heat and spray with olive oil spray. Add the beaten eggs, swirl to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes, chopping board, roll it up and cut into shreds.
• Reheat the wok over high heat, add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Stir-fry the beef in batches for 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the wok and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the noodles and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Combine the kecap manis, soy sauce and fish sauce, then add to the wok with the sprouts and white pepper. Stir -fry for a further 2 minutes. Return the egg and beef to the wok and stir-fry for another 3 minutes, or until the sprouts has wilted and the noodles are soft but not falling apart. Serve with lemon wedges.

Note:-

• The original recipe calls for Chinese broccoli.
• I usually swap the pork for the beef.
• I also usually added chilli sauce or sambal
• I sometimes swap the lemon with lime.

Let me know what you think.

Pump me up...

I got this photo [HERE]. OWH MY GOD. How beautiful are these shoes!!! I WANT ONE. I love the tights too. They are Marni's.

I can't wait for WINTER. The weather has taken a turn. Its going to be HOT HOT HOT the next few days. GAH.... bring back last week's weather.

Riding home...

Everyday I take the public transport to and from work. I have a love hate relationship with the public transport.

I love it because:-

1. It gives me time to think about things during the commute.
2. I get to relax before and after work.
3. The people I see and meet.
4. It gives me time to read my book.
5. The chirpy "Good Morning" I get from my usual bus driver.

I hate it because:-

1. Its almost sometimes always full. If you get what I mean.
2. Its unreliable sometimes.
3. The people I see and meet.
4. The heat of the bus that is not air conditioned. GAH...
5. Moody bus drivers.

Unmotivated...

I am feeling so unmotivated now. HELP.

Studying...

Just doing a little bit of studying.

Best Beach...

Today Nana and I went to Mullaloo Beach. Just 20 minutes away by car from my house. I think its the most gorgeous beach ever. The water was calm and so blue. This picture did not do it any justice.

Three Layers...

This has got to be one of my favourite drink. I don't know if you can get it in the other states in Malaysia but in Sarawak we called this the Three Layer Iced Milk Tea or as we locals calls it  "3 layer Teh Si Peng."

Its made out of Palm Sugar, Tea and Milk. Owh and don't forget the Ice. :*)

The Legend!!!

Tonight we went to see the legend himself  SANTANA.  He was soooo freaking awesome!!  I could sing all his songs by heart. Even the old ones. I like the crowd. They were all well behaved. Why? Because they were all Dad's AGE!!! I love it. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. I am still high from the concert. Owh.... I love him. He is truely a legend. I will never forget this day.
