Vegetarian Mee Suah Soup

Ingredients:
2 tsp of cooking oil,
3 cloves of garlic,
3 cm of ginger
6 cm of carrot
1 no. of chilly
4 or 5 sprig chinese parsely
1 comb of mee suah
3 florets of abalone mushroom
small number of enoki mushroom
2 leaves of chye sim
small piece of cabbage
A few drops of soya sauce
Salt and sugar to taste
Boil the mee suah separately in a pot. Take out from pot and put aside in a bowl. Slice thinly the ginger and chop the garlic. Cut the chye sim and carrot. Saute sliced ginger and chopped garlic till fragrance. Pour in 1 cup water. Let the water boil, then put in chye sim , mushrooms and carrot slice. Scoop out the soup into the boil. Garnish with chinese parsely and serve with red chillies.

This is my breakfast for today. I have the time to cook if I wake up early as today. Ten years ago if I were given mee suah I said "Urgh" ...... Today is different I love my mee suah soup. All noodles soup will be tasty if one put in at least 5 different types of vege in the soup. This is to make up the lack of prawns or any seafood inside. Without the minimum of 5 different types of any vege inside the vegetarian soup it will never give enough sweetness thus taste bland and flat.

"The Iron Lady" local movie

What the movie has taught me?

A very educational movie. The movie is so real and it taught us ;

1. Never trust anyone including your own children, lovers, spouse.
2. Hypocrites are almost everywhere.
3. This confirm and reconfirm and repeat what I have observe daily, no exception.
4. Divine help is what we needed most to be save from all types of evil. Because sometimes we may be careless. - Help from the above is what we needed most at this time were crime is at the rise, Divine helps.

These are the key lessons to be learnt and remembered from the movie. Wish that I will not forget.

Tuesday night 12/5/09

It has been a very tiring day at work. Everybody is multi tasking now. It is very disheartening to think about it, let alone write and document it. I shall be watching television movie afterward at 10:00 pm - Iron Lady Channel 7 . This is after a break of more than 5 years. The first time I followed this series was last week Thursday. It is very tiring to watch movies too, using up eyesight energy. To me I have to read subtitle to understand what has been said. It is never easy to learn up Mandarin and Cantonese. I can be watching and listening for more than 100 years but i cannot catch up whatever has been said.

Not many people are aware that there are a few minority of Chinese who do not understand Mandarin. Very ignorant of them, whenever they see Chinese they speak in Mandarin language. Very disgusting. Ok la I don't want to deal too much of trivial matters.

Raindrops inspiration

While standing in front of the rain, I tried testing my camera whether I can snap the picture of rain drops. The green colour background makes the rain stands out. We have rain on and off for the past one week. After the rain, the air is cleaner and more pure. Seems like the rain wipe out the dust.

Resting is one of my hobbies. Resting is also like respecting our body. People say an over used machine gets worn and malfunctions faster. While an under-used machine will subsequently cease to work. As I am getting older I am thinking a lot of ways to contribute to my good health and longevity. More towards natural way of living. Going back to old ancient ways of living. Eg, minimise fast food, artificial flavoring food etc. Trying to follow the philosophical life as been taught in my spiritual class, eg
1. Trying to do good and be good. (Not causing the self and others sorrow)
2. Trying to forgive,
3. Trying to let go everything including the incident that I have been cheated as in the post 9/5/09, hehe. (Do not remember the past)
4. To be be fair, kind, compassionate and non-judgmental.
5. To be an embodiment of virtues as thought in the spiritual class.
6. To die alive.
7. To start living.
8. To eliminate any nonsense bondages or attachment.
9. To smile more.
10. I do not whether it is true or not, but it is said that if you focus yourself on the Cosmic Energy more, slowly your sin may be absolved.

Simple Meatless Lunch

As shown in the pictures I slice all the vege, garlic, shallot, ginger, chye sim fresh mushroom, leek and celery. Dice carrot and taupok. Saute the onions, garlic and ginger, add beansprouts, followed by the rest. Mix and fry well. Pour in rice and stir well. Put soya sauce salt and sugar to taste. This is my easy and nutritious fried rice. Serve with sambal belacan. The taste never lose out to hawkers food and it is more hygienic. More balance in terms of the ratio of vege to rice compared to hawkers' fried rice where they give you rice with little or hardly enough vege. Cheaper too.
