Blog shop: Misscaramella

Blogshops are a norm in today’s era. Consumers have wider choices and could purchase things at the comfort of their home or offices. With good and clear information about a product on the web, i think we can purchase the right goods with ease and convenience.

Recently, i’ve bought a top from a friend who recently started a blog shop. I’ve never worn such a top in my life but i like the way it was worn on the model.

Isn’t this top cool?

Team Medical Dragon

Team Medical Dragon, another well worth Japanese medical drama to watch. The operating scenes are too real beyond words and i was totally captivated by how the internal organs (main focus is the heart) of a human body is.

The characters are quite interesting, with one of the characters looking like Mr Harry Potter. What i like about the genius surgeon, Dr Asada is, no matter how chaotic the situation in the operating theater may be, he can still keep his cool and provide good medical judgment.

This drama makes up of two series. You can find more information here.

Attack No. 1

Do you prefer to use ‘reasoning’ to train your kids or students? All the while, i still prefer the old fashion stricter ways to train students. Students will have a deeper impression of you, and will be fearful of you as a person of authority. They will understand your intentions once they outgrew their age.

Through this show, it was proven that determination and strictness does wonders to the students’ hidden talent and through the cruel trainings, students are able to discover their own true capabilities.

A truly touching show which may requires you to prepare a mug for tear collection.

What kind of Games suits me?

I’ve never liked playing video games. Not because they are not fun to play with, but my brain and hand coordination doesn’t seem to work hand-in-hand quite well. All along, I loved playing non-adventure games, such as Maple Story, PC Mahjong and Viwawa. Games that either use fingers or the brain alone interested me a lot.

Don’t ever ask me to play Street Fighter. I tried playing that and ended up being dead most of the times. Whenever my brain signals a ‘punch’, “Yes yes, i need to punch my enemy badly!!” But my fingers will trigger a ‘retreat’ or ‘kneel’ action instead. Blah. Wonder if this is a kind of sickness.

The next game which i hope to buy is a Wii table tennis game. It’s hard to find table tennis tables around the neighbourhood, and even if there is, it will be too windy to have a good match. I’ve already had several exercises cds at home, so why not I get a Wii sports for exercising too? Shall try to save up some $$ for this.

Swiss Roll-ies

Our baking fingers started to itch again. This time round, we were in for something new. We were making Swiss Rolls!

Two kinds of swiss rolls were made yesterday:

1. Swiss Rolls with custard filling

2. Swiss Rolls with chocolate filling

Our first attempt making these rolls is successful, and they tasted better than those bought from neighbouring bakeries.

We had fun rolling the sponge cakes with tracing papers and they feel like plasticine under our fingers.

Nothing beats home-made food.

Our next attempt shall be Japanese Sushi and Handroll.

Itoshi Kimi e

I was kind of distracted by this Japanese drama these few nights and it causes me to shed a few spoonful of tears just by placing myself into the story.

Few thoughts that are always triggered by the main lady cast Shiki Tomokawa, who is a new pediatrician in the drama:

1. What happens if your loved one became terminally ill or going blind just a month before your marriage? Will you continue to be with him or decided to make a clean break?

2. What happens if you are left with only a month to live, or 3 months to see the world with your ailing eyes, what if….

If you were to ask me those questions above, how will i answer? Truthfully speaking, i cant make any decisions at the time i am blogging this entry down.

Life is so short and unpredictable nowadays, I won’t be surprised if one fine day, i will be ‘forced’ to answer one or more of those questions.

Treasure your love ones, whatever you have now. Whatever you want to do, do it now, don’t procrastinate and regret one day. I am sure you won’t want to leave this beautiful world working your ass away right?

What i did on my annual leaves

Finally i have the mood to update on what I’ve done on my 2 annual leaves. Colleagues were teasing me about taking nice breaks during the last part of the semester.

I do wish i could take relaxing breaks, but i am not actually relaxing.

The first leave was taken to do a Basic Gynae Health Screen at KK Hospital. After receiving the pamphlet on pap smear from the Health Promotion Board and after hearing all the ‘horror’ stories from girl friends who have been through female health screenings, i’ve decided to book a session for myself on a weekday, where it will be less crowded.

The process of doing pap smear is not as scary as I thought. The most important thing is to try to relax and take in deep long breathes. Imagine yourself falling asleep at the cool beaches at Bintan, and after a few seconds, the swab is done.

What makes things a bit “worst” for me was, the gynae doing the pap smear was handsome and so gentle. Awww… sometimes i do regret getting a male gynae. My mum told me male gynaes are generally more calmer in times of emergencies and they are more decisive in making important decisions. This is also what i’ve noted from the forums. Oh well.

The second leave I’ve took recently is to see the same gynae for my health screen results. I’ve waited for the results anxiously for two weeks! and at some of the nights, I couldn’t sleep at all, kept thinking about the results. Though the results are normal this time round, I’ve decided to make health screening an annual event. Looks like the older you grow, the weaker your health will be.

But one thing I’ve realized is, even if one has cleared a health screen, it doesnt mean you are 100% healthy. Remember the recent case? Some problems cannot be detected through a health screen.

Household Chores

This morning, our common toilet’s heater starts leaking water when hubby tried to take a bath. He started to panic and wanted to call his dad to come down and repair. Looks like he is one of those who just dun feel comfortable handling appliances on his own. Thought all guys are supposedly good at hands-on?

i adored my dad and FIL for being Mr Handymen, one who knows practically how to repair anything! It’s amazing how much an O level-only graduate can do as compared to a Uni Grad. So getting papers are not everything afterall. It’s the skills and experiences that counts.

2 years together, lots of things needs to be done on our own. Over these two years, I’ve/ or perhaps we have learned to:

1. Iron clothes
2. Change light bulbs
3. COOK decent dishes
4. Mop floor
5. Scrub toilets
6. Connect DVD players to the TV set

Sad to say, I’ve never done any of these all by myself before, and there are sure many more things i can learn. I wonder what am i gonna do if my stove spoil. *wails in pain*

Singapore Mahjong

It seemed pretty hard to learn how to play Mahjong with friends, especially if they are already experts in the game. I doubt they have the patience to teach and also wait for me to decide my next move on an actual game. What makes things worst is, 3 other players are needed to make up one game, so learning with hubby alone is not realistic enough.

So how can I, a very blur newbie learn the mahjong game?

I’ve gotten myself a PC mahjong game — the very own SIngapore Version from Bishan Popular. The game is not that perfect as there are restrictions which might make experts pretty agitated, but for a newbie like me, hahaa, it was just PERFECT.
