Love is no longer color-coded today. Romances between people of different colors are being handled more offhandedly, with race being neither an issue nor much of a plot point. I noticed especially how younger people today don't see couples as different races. They don't draw those lines. Try watch MTV, and you will see videos with all kind of people interacting."

Well, what I really want to say is that interracial dating is perfectly fine. If you are interested in dating sites, like the ones that I have mentioned in my previous post, why not try interracial romance as well? It is a dating website where you can search through thousands of interracial singles looking for love. You can search through thousands of profiles and browse their photos. Besides that you can use the chat rooms, express ideas/opinion in forums and use many other great features. Who knows you may find your love online or just make some friends. For me, it is always nice to meet different kinds of people and make a lot of friends.

Hobbit and I woke up last Sabbath with growling tummies. So I suggested to make healthy chapatis! We never make chapatis before but then we would learn to, I thought. What good mood hobbit had that he jumped out of bed and headed towards the kitchen. We started lining up all the ingredients needed. FYI, of course as I've said we don't have any experience in making chapatis, but based on memory from Aunty R's instructions, we managed to get all the ingredients ready.

Our Chapati Ingredients:

• 1 cups wholewheat flour
• 2 cups of multi-purpose flour
  
• Water (Using yoghurt or milk will give you super soft Chapatis!)
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil

Step 2: Pour the wholewheat flour  and the multipurpose flour into a big bowl. Slowly pour water or yoghurt or milk and start kneading. Pour pinches of salt to add taste to the flour. While kneading, add water as needed and knead again until you get the right consistency.

*I forgot to take picture of Roy kneading the dough. Was too excited watching him knead. *_* 

Step 4: After you are done kneading, leave the dough slightly for 5 minutes. Some say you should leave it for 10-15 minutes but it all depends on the texture of your dough. This is how ours looked like.

Step 5: Now, divide the dough into equal portion. Slightly the size of a golf ball. Roll between your palms. Look how Hobbit did this part.

Step 6: Then rub the surface of the dough ball with flour to prevent it sticking on to the rolling surface. 

Step 8: Coat flour on both sides of the flat dough so that it won't stick to the plate or with other doughs.

Step 9: Heat the pan on a medium flame and put the rolled out dough on it to cook for about 1 minute. Make sure to flip it whenever you see a slight raised bumps on the surface. You might want to do a second flip just to even out the texture. When you see the chapati starts puffing, press it slightly with a dry cloth or as for us, we just simply use the spatula to encourage slightly bigger puff.

* As for ours, the chapati did puff, but not as big as we expected. Look at the shape, not as round as the expert's ones.. *_* 

Step 10: After the puff, the chapati should be ready to be served. As for ours, our chapati turned out to be of many rugged circular shape. For me, it's not a big deal. Hobbit did all of it and I was nothing but being proud of his effort! The taste was superb, I enjoyed it to the last bite! Lovely Sabbath breakfast!

Note: This recipe is not for public use and not an expert way of making a chapati. Please refer to an expert for full accurate recipe if you desire to attempt on making a standardized chapati.

Many of my cousins are residing in the UK. Some of them even insisted that hubby and I should give up our job here and move over since (according to them) we could always apply jobs in advance and stay with them until we get settle down. Oh my! Come to think of it, It's not that easy. It will probably take us 8 to 15 years to make this idea a reality! Perhaps, it is not something that is impossible, but lets face the truth.

I just finish clearing up my messy work desk in this teacher's room. Thought of requesting an extra desk to put stuff, but after rearranging and throwing out all the junks, there was more than enough space!

It's Friday. The morning rush marathon was worth it after all! I've finally learned from past mistakes. Now life is much more bearable in school.

Hey...ever thought of making cool holes on your nose before? Well, you don't need to go spend and go far...just grab a fork and it will do the job. This boy is a living proof!

Well, have a forky Friday everyone! Don't misuse your fork! *_*

I think I really need a new camera this Christmas. Roy and I had discussed about it and apparently the pros of having a new camera outweigh the pros of keeping the old one. I just love to snap away. Unfortunately, the camera that I am currently using is too bulky and too difficult to carry around. From various occasions, I experienced being the last one to snap certain important event just because I have to pull my semi-dslr out from its bulky bag pouch and adjusting the lens, apature, etc. Man, it's like I'm forever fixing my camera while my surrounding moves rapidly thus makes me, a snail amateur photographer, unable to capture all the excitement, colors, tone, mood that I really thought awesome!

Nowadays, I could hardly see people carry their manual cameras around except for some professionals who wants their picture to have that original, classy look! Well, I'm sure their reasons for using the manual ones are far beyond what I know, but for most of us, we rather go for convenient sake and not wanting too much hassle such as sending rolls and rolls of films for printing, or have piles of photo albums. We rather store pictures in what I call an invisible way such as storing them in our USB card, thumb drive, notebooks, CDs, etc. 

So what brands do I go for if I am to buy a new one? Well, my favorite ones are of course what people call the luxury brand and only-pro-should-buy ones. Oh well, I am not a pro, but I just like to have them anyway! For bulky dslr, I will opt for Nikon, and for mini digital cam, I'll go for Canon. As I have mentioned earlier, I am going for the mini ones, so right now I haven't really decide which among the many Canons will I pick for use. Just browsing on cameras alone makes me go crazy, what more choosing a specific one! Perhaps, what I need right now is read more reviews and get more opinions from you Canon freak out there. Help me out, would you?

Thank goodness I can retrieve my post!

Day 1 for Primary section today. I am all excited to meet all my old students and welcome the new ones in class. Some people still think that I will have more time for myself this school year since I no longer have to attend evening classes. Not right at all. The fact is, I have more classes compared to last year, more assignments for my Masters, and more students to tutor. When is actually MY time for myself during the weekdays?? I bet only a close to a quarter working people have that luxury! I shouldn't complain, but be grateful for the ability to work, work and work.

Clare, why are you leaving for Sarawak so soon?? We haven't got to fart in all the restaurants we planned to go yet! Ahh...I just love eating out with her. She has such marvelous appetite that makes me give her a "double salute" everytime we go out to makan. It makes this kononnya-want-to-diet bigfish swallow and sip all the edibles served. With her wit and humor, she makes me laugh and faint like fireflies. Her generosity and caring attitude moves me to pieces. What a woman!

I've been so much into blogging these few days that I basically spend a whole lot of my spare time sitting in front of my laptop just to blog what is on my mind. As I was actively reading blogs from other bloggers, I discovered this interesting blogging business called PayP.erPost (PP-P). Yes, curiosity kills the cat! I was totally blown away by the offer. Let me explain briefly...

Well, if you blog often and want to earn some cash from it, then you should bring traffic to your site and introduce Payp.erpost or better known PP-P. As this site puts it, they connect bloggers and advertisers in one central location.

With almost 4 years of blogging experiences, I have been writing so much about my own personal life, food, online products, services, and have reviewed websites and online-businesses that I found interesting but have not really thought that those entries can help me get some cash. Not until I discovered PP-P!

One of the things that attracted me to sign up is that they let you choose what product or website you would like to review and blog about. There are many different opportunities and you are not restricted to pick only one. The review or entry you picked of course can lead you to money. Well, as much as I like to receive cash, I also love writing. So money is not the ONLY factor as to why I signed up.

I am still in the process of learning as to how to submit entries, for I also understand that this post will have to be reviewed by the PP-P team and just in case it gets rejected, I know that there will always be some explanations as to why my post is rejected. I can always fix it and re-submit.

Well, so much for what I know about PP-P. Once I get paid, I will surely spend it on those red stuff that I have been eyeing on for quite sometime. So, read the website. It'll surely blow you off as well! *_*

As for now, I'm looking forward for a promising future in the world of blogging with PP-P.

We didn't get to leave as early as decided the night before. Everyone seemed so tired from the weekend trips. We've been on the road like crazy. I looked at myself in the mirror this few days...oh...panda eyes bag getting bigger and darker. Eyes could fit that of Garfield's, body as stiff as a teak tree. I'm surprised if none of us suffer from jet legs after running around like a hungry mouse around Thailand!

The truth for my long silence here was mainly because of friends visiting from Sarawak. The fun being with them totally distracted my attention from School work. In fact, I happily self-extended my holiday hehe!

Okay...so today we went to Pattaya! It's really late but I'll let the pictures speak for now...

 At NoongNooch Garden, Pattaya

 Clare & I have this habit of irritating each other!

 

I can't believe it's almost the end of the year! For sure, many of you are looking forward for the jolly season, Christmas! What makes this season even more exciting is the give and receive session. Last year, I did my Christmas shopping in September since I was afraid to miss the beautiful season after my wedding. This year, I guess there is no harm to shop at this time of the year too since the sale around this time is quite a bargain!

Going through my family's wish list this year, or considering what I have in mind for them, I don't know if I could get all the blings here but maybe surfing some stuff on the net wouldn't hurt. In fact, for some of you, it might be way cheaper to shop for presents online. If this is the option that you and I are heading for, then maybe we could try online shopping. Oh, I know this site has lots and lots of discount coupons for you to choose from. This site is a wholly owned subsidiary of Coupon Chief, Inc. Here, they provide a one stop coupon deal and discount resource for web site visitors. They provide up to date coupon codes and promotional deals. I am eyeing on The Body Shop since it gives new customers a 10% off, free shipping and provides a buy 1 get another one deal. Another store that I would go for is Classic Close Outs . Lots of cool clothes to choose from with good deals! Well, you could go through several other stores to shop from in Coupon Chief and like what I have said earlier, it makes shopping for some of us so easy!

I can visualize my days ahead. With piles of assignments to do for my 2 courses, lesson plans for classes, handouts to prepare, papers to mark, tutorings to do, meetings to attend, la di da, da di la...

How am I ever going to survive???

I thought I had gone through days like this, but to start putting up all the surviving gears again after a long break is not easy! I need more sweeteners, more extra flavoring to my adrenaline!

Blog, will you wait for me till the day when I finally can say 

"Thank God I survived through it all!" 

As for now, count on me, encourage me and keep me happy while I sing

"I will survive...awww! I will survive....uooah!"

We went round and round the city today without the intention of going for a joyride! We left home at 3:40pm for MBK. Like usual, we took the Petchburi Road, supposed to bypass Pratunam and Ratchatewi then follow the road that normally could take us to MBK faster. Today, due to traffic, instead of taking that usual route, my driver hobbit decided to beat the traffic by using Sukhumvit road. Well, I bet you know how Sukhumvit road is, sometimes it is so unpredictable. There are times you can fly drive your car, but there are times you are forced to just sit back and read not just the headlines, but the whole newspaper while stuck in a jam. We were quite close to MBK though, got stuck in Chid Lom (where Central Chid Lom is), so we thought, why not go out on the highway and make a U-turn?? Well, instead of a swift U-turn, we ended up paying 40B for a toll way and landed on the opposite track from where we came from - Victory Monument. Thanks to 40B toll way. Well, the same thing, went through traffic jam after jams and finally reached our destination at 6pm.

Conclusion to this: Before we left, we prayed so we won't break the Sabbath, even if we reach MBK earlier, we would just stroll for awhile until sunset kicks in, we said. He answered our prayers! Actually, we learned that the above is what we had to pay for not attending church this morning! Thank you Lord for helping us keep the Sabbath in a jam.
