Atonement

On the second last day of 2007, I went to the movie and watched Joe Wright's movie "Atonement".

After the movie, I thought that "Atonement" was terrific, and it is a great movie as many other people think too. This movie purely based on poetry, from the dreamy and hopeful days of 1935 to the horror era of WWII, there are wonderful performances, lavish sets, thought-provoking moments and haunting themes.

Overall, I believe that “Atonement" is truly a masterpiece of cinematography. I will bet my money on "Atonement" for the Best Film Oscars in 2008.

Mango season, let's make a mango cake

At this hot summer season, mango is our Australian popular fruit, and also they are very cheap and all around the place. So I am thinking mango cake as one nice thing to eat and make. Here is the recipe:

Mango cake

10 grams of melted butter
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 large thinly-sliced mango
2 eggs
1/2 cup of castor sugar
1/2 cup of wheaten corn flour
1 tablespoon of custard powder
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda

At first, we should preheat the oven to 180 Celsius and lightly grease the sides of a 22cm cake tin. I prefer to use butter to do this rather than olive oil.

Now wait until the tin is greased, take the butter which should be melted now and pour it into the bottom where the butter will form part of the topping. Then put the brown sugar evenly over the butter and then layer on the mango slices.

After that, beat two eggs and the castor sugar into a bowl and mix them until is creamy and thick. And also to remember carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mix.

Final step, put it into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
Doesn’t this sound good?

few pictures from Jervis Bay

Here are some pics from Jervis bay, went there few days ago. It is really close 2 syd n Woollongong. Dat only took me and my frdz 2 and half hrs to drove from Syd 2 there. Someone lives in Jervis bay told me that there hv the biggest and most beautiful white sand beach in Australia. Actually, i hv been there more than 4 times, but it was the first time i stayed there for 3 days.....be honestly, i m not a beach person n i don't really like swimming in sea, but i just missing the hotel that i went in Jervis bay, the king size bed i slept and the wonderful spa there..

don't ask me what happened ....if u want ask me about my new year and the christmas holiday, i wil tel u dat's not bad.
In fact, i moved again!!!! from Burwood to Wolli Creek and living alone again in a three bedroom apartment. Everything just happened too fast like an accident and i can't control.
Anyway, last 10days in Australia. I think everything wil b fine soon, n i m okay now. Last night, finally i can sleep in my new bed. Because i moved house too hurry, hv to buy new fridge, microwave , and all the other furniture......Because when i decided to move, dat was the first day of 2008, there was no agency open, i have to living in such a big apartment by myself for next 3 months. Lucky me, can go back home soon...otherwise, i know i will be crazy!!!!!!!

In the other words, i m typing this bolg in my new place. Just realise i only got 5 blogs here.....so!!! from 2day i will try my best to write as more and as good as i can...

nAiL Nail Nail~~~~

Woke up at 7 this sat morning, and arrived Hurstvill station around 9:15. i was there because i m in Nina's group n helped her to finish the short film which is about 'nail art'. We finished at 5:30, but when i arrived home, dat was 7: 30.......Still can remember how tired i was. But dat was really fun and everyone enjoyed it.

Actually, 2 years ago, i always went 2 some nail art shops once a month. However, after few month i found dat is not a good thing for me to do. Why? i think it wasted money and time. Another reason is i can't type message and use computer properly by wearing fake nails. I know most girls like use nail polish as me. But nail art is very different from nail polish. For me , nail art is really really hard and i can't do it by myself.....In fact, i love nail art so much, but always 2 lazy and not rich...

the blog photo u put, the info u r showing

More and more people are writing and using blog. Every one has their own blog photo. We all believe those pictures can speak for us and shows personality. November’s Cosmo said that different pictures are telling to “friends” different information. DO YOU KNOW?

THE POUTY, SEDUCTIVE PIC:

You think: I’m sexy and confident, pork me!

What it really says: if you were really sexy and confident, you wouldn’t have to pout (or expose cleavage) to prove it. You’re trying too hard.

Replace it with: A natural happy snap-just smile. Looking like someone who can have good time and not take themselves too seriously is a far sexier way to catch someone’s eye.

The kid photo or old school pic:

Youthink: I am so cute and approachable!

What it really says: You’re hiding who you are or perhaps what you look like now.

Replace it with: A recent pic-don’t be shy! Be confident enough to show people how much you look have matured since that bowl haircut. …

THE DRUNK (OR OTHERWISE WASTED) PARTY PIC

You think: I’m the life of every party!

What it really says: You’re desperate for people to think that you’re popular! PS: “Don’t employ me”.

Replace it with: If you want to look social, use a group shot of you and your mates at a party- before the Jager bombs.

THE NATURL SMILEY PIC:

You think: Nothing really …it’s just a nice picture of you!

What it really says: You don’t bother pretending to be someone or something you’re not. A relaxed, happy pic radiates a confident and friendly aura.

Replace it with: Nada-unless you significantly change your hair- in which case, you should update.

LOL, interesting!

But GUESS WHAT? I will never ever change my photo and replace them because of those COMSO’S tips. I am not someone else and also don’t wana be somebody. So, just let me put whatever I want, even an ogre. Take it easy…by the way i still don't know how to update my personal bolg photo here......
