Painted Skin

Recently I saw the poster of the movie "Painted Skin" or "画皮 in Chinese in the newspaper. Interesting title, I wonder the movie will be as interesting as the title or not. I want to watch the movie !!! It is a story based on the famous ancient Chinese folklore, the fox spirit. I read about it when I was in primary school and it is fun to read.
In English, it called "Fox Spirit"
In Japanese, it called "Kitsune"
In Chinese, it called "狐狸精" and it is very famous word nowadays. ( You know, I know, Everyone know)




This is what I think about when I saw the title, a woman with lots of fox spirit behind her.

Hari Raya Puasa

Hari Raya is near now......and there goes the traffic jam too... When I first think about Raya, first come in my mind is KETUPAT. They are hanging everywhere.



Then...you will see boys wearing songkoks and their baju Melayu, playing bunga api. Malays can play bunga api everywhere but for us Chinese cannot play fireworks, pasti kena saman. This is a bit not fair lo because even our Chinese New Year, Those Malays "tumpang" to play bunga api. *Sweats*




Because Raya is fall in October, it is raining season. Some low area will be flooded. Good news to kids cause they have fun. Mostly they go swimming and catch fish during the flood.






Ok, enough for Raya thing.

Yesterday is our Prom Night day, many of us absent from class to get ready for the grand night. Why it need to take a day to prepare ?
1. Do hairstyling, choosing the most beautiful hair style.
2. Pick the most elegant dress.
3. Do facial, of cause !
4. Do makeup.
5. Pick the most suitable accessories.

This 5 things sure really take you a day to do. ( and also your money go bye bye )



Cheers for prom night...... (When I finish drawing this my friend said she looks like pregnant, lol.....)



Last thing, a doggy picture for myself. Love this so much.

Love Song

虽然还在考final,偷偷写blog一下.这首歌是"不小心"在youtube找到的,蛮好听d.不错,不错,方大同的歌一向来都很好听的.最近他最新的歌,"爱,爱,爱"很low key,很难唱.很少男歌手可以唱到这样low,搞不好变成娘娘腔,chan lo !





Love Song
作曲:方大同 填詞:方大同 編曲:方大同

我寫了這首歌 是一首簡單的
不複雜也不難唱的那一種歌
這不是那種 只剩下那鋼琴的歌
也不是那種 不能只是朋友的歌
這不是那種 兩個人的故事寫在一本小說
那小說裏有誰會在花田裏犯了錯
這就是一首寫給你聽的一個
Love Song 一直想寫一首
Love Song 你給了我一首
Love Song 那DJ會播放
這也許會上榜
不過我只想寫出一首
Love Song 一直想寫一首
Love Song 你給了我一首
你就像那夏天的涼風
吹過我的面孔 情翔飛
在我心底 你就是我第一 想說愛你





我寫了這首歌 是一首簡單的
不複雜也不難唱的那一種歌
這不是那種 童話裏會遇見的歌
也不是那種 真真切切愛我的歌
這不是那種 兩個人的故事寫在一本小說
那小說裏有誰陪她看流星再降落
這就是一首寫給你聽的一個
Love Song 一直想寫一首
Love Song 你給了我一首
Love Song 那DJ會播放
這也許會上榜
不過我只想寫出一首
Love Song 一直想寫一首
Love Song 你給了我一首
你就像那夏天的涼風
吹過我的面孔 情翔飛
在我心底 你就是我第一 想說愛你




如果你是一幅畫
你會是最珍貴的一幅畫
如果那畫家是梵高的話
有何貴人前來有錢花 個個向你求嫁
梵高他說 你們都該回家
又或者你是Melody 就是最動聽
所有的人都會跟著你齊唱
就算在夜晚 你的星太亮
讓我忘了月亮代表我的…
Love Song 你給了我一首
Love Song 那DJ會播放
這也許會上榜
不過我只想寫出一首
Love Song 一直想寫一首
Love Song 你給了我一首
Love 你就像那夏天的涼風
吹過我的… 情翔飛
在我心底 你就是我第一

Coffee

今天只谈Coffee, 因为本人最近很喜欢喝咖啡(因为下个星期就是Final exam了)

有一句名言:男人要像好咖啡,既强劲又充满热情!而意浓咖啡更是咖啡中的男人!




咖啡的起源

世界上第一株咖啡树是在非洲之角发现的。当地土著部落经常把咖啡的果实磨碎,再把它与动物脂肪掺在一起揉捏,做成许多球状的丸子。这些土著部落的人将这些咖啡丸子当成珍贵的食物,专供那些即将出征的战士享用。 当时,人们不了解咖啡食用者表现出亢奋是怎么一回事——他们不知道这是由咖啡的刺激性引起的,相反,人们把这当成是咖啡食用者所表现出来的宗教狂热。觉得这种饮料非常神秘,它成了牧师和医生的专用品。流传至今,反映咖啡发现过程主要有两个故事。 一个故事说,一位放羊的牧民注意到这样一个现象:他的羊群在食用了野生咖啡树上的果实之后变得格外亢奋。出于好奇,他也尝了尝咖啡果。一尝之后,由于咖啡豆的作用,他也像那些乱撞乱跳的山羊一样,开始手舞足蹈起来。发生在牧民身上的这一幕,恰恰被一群僧侣撞个正着。于是,每当有必要在夜间举行宗教仪式时,这些僧侣都用咖啡豆煮成汤水喝下,用这种方法来使自己保持清醒。 还有一个故事是这样说的:一个穆斯林托钵僧被他的敌人赶入沙漠。在精神错乱的状态下,他听到声音,提示他采食身边的咖啡果。他把咖啡果放在水里,想把它们泡软,由于咖啡果过于坚硬,他没有成功。不得已,他只好将浸泡咖啡豆的水喝了下去。最后,这个托钵僧就靠这种手段存活下来。当这个托钵僧走出沙漠之后,他觉得自己能够幸存,并且自己身上之所以能够获得神奇的能量,全都是真主安拉相助的结果。于是,他就不停地向别人讲述这个故事,并且把这种配制饮料的方法介绍给了别人。

【咖啡的鉴赏】有关各地咖啡特性和风味的描述,最常用的有以下几个方面:   

a,醇度(body)   指咖啡入口后的那种厚重感、浓稠的质感。   

b,酸度(acidity) 这种酸与我们日常食用水果的那种酸味不同,是用以形容咖啡那种明亮、清新、爽朗的特有味觉感受,一些著名的阿拉比卡咖啡豆正是以明快的“酸”的特质赢得咖啡爱好者的喜爱的。   

c,苦味(bitter)   苦味是咖啡的最明显的特征之一。影响苦味程度的因素主要有:品种(罗巴斯特种比阿拉比卡种要更苦);产地(某些产地出品的咖啡苦味较强烈,如印尼的苏门答腊、爪哇等);烘焙程度(较深烘焙的比较浅烘焙的要苦);咖啡因含量(咖啡因含量越高就会越苦);萃取时间(萃取时间越长就会越苦) 。   

d,甘度(sweet)   回味甘甜是一些好咖啡的特质,通常来说没什么人喜欢“苦”,但回味中的“甘”和“酸”却是很多人所追求的。   

e,香度(aroma)   使指咖啡冲泡后所显现出来的最明显的特征,包括:焦糖味、果香味、花香味、草香味等。   

f,风味(flavor)   指香度、甘度、醇度的整体感受。   

g,酒味(winy)   某些产地的咖啡有类似葡萄酒的味道,实质上是酸味和高醇度相结合的一种感受,口感极佳.  



种类:

日本炭烧咖啡

纯粹的重培造就了日本炭烧独特的口味,香淳苦涩,较多的保持了咖啡的原有风味


黑玫瑰咖啡

芬芳的迷人气息,鲜艳的深红色樱桃白兰地,不但酒香扑鼻,更散发着令人无法捉摸的魅力。味道香醇浓。适合餐后饮用。

摩卡咖啡

产于埃塞俄比亚。豆小而香浓,酸醇味强,甘味适中,风味特殊

爱尔兰咖啡

爱尔兰咖啡是一种既像酒又像咖啡的咖啡,原料是爱尔兰威士忌加咖啡豆,特殊的咖啡杯,特殊的煮法,认真而执着,古老而简朴。其爱尔兰咖啡杯是一种方便于烤杯的耐热杯。烤杯的方法可以去除烈酒中的酒精,让酒香与咖啡更能够直接的调和。 爱尔兰人最了解威士忌拥有一股独特而浓烈的薰香和淡淡甜味,威士忌调成的爱尔兰咖啡,更能将咖啡的酸甜味道衬托出来。


意大利咖啡

具有浓郁的香味及强烈的苦味,咖啡的表面并浮现一层薄薄的咖啡油,这层油正是意大利咖啡诱人香味的来源。适合那些追求强烈味觉感受的人

水滴咖啡

又称荷兰咖啡,源自欧洲,冲泡用的滴壶是巴黎的一个大主教发明的。它使用冷水或冰水来萃炼,藉由自然渗透水压,调节水滴速度,以五℃度低温萃炼四到十小时长时间滴漏,让咖啡原味传真自然再现。优点为不酸涩、不伤胃


欧蕾咖啡

法式牛奶咖啡─咖啡加上大量的热牛奶和糖


瑞琪蒙的鸳鸯咖啡

瑞琪蒙的名气源自英文Rich man,译为"高贵绅士"。此款咖啡口感细腻,喝起来柔和而且香甜,有咖啡原始的微酸微苦,有伴有奶茶的细腻可口,加上名字的完美浪漫,是一款十分流行又年轻人喜欢的花式咖啡。制作该款咖啡较为简单,需要一个古典石头杯,120ml的热伯爵奶茶和120ml的现磨热咖啡,将两者混合便可


皇家咖啡

它的由来,据说是拿破伦在远征苏俄时,因遇到酷寒的冬天,于是命人在咖啡中加入白兰地以取暖,因此发明了这道咖啡。刚冲泡好的皇家咖啡,在舞动的蓝白火焰中,猛然窜起一股白兰地的芳醇,勾引着期待中的味觉,雪白的方糖缓缓化为诱人的焦香甜味,一小口一小口品啜着,令人无端幻想坐拥皇宫的雍容喜悦


土耳其咖啡

它是一种采用原始煮法的咖啡.今日土耳其、希腊及巴尔干诸国这些曾受奥斯曼土耳其帝国统治的国家仍流行饮用土耳其咖啡


法国拿铁咖啡(Latte)

它是意大利咖啡的另一种变化,冲泡步骤与卡布奇诺相同,只是咖啡/牛奶/奶泡的比例稍作变动而已


卡布奇诺(Cappuccino)

20世纪初,意大利人阿奇加夏发明蒸汽压力咖啡机的同时,也发明出了卡布奇诺咖啡.卡布奇诺是在偏浓的咖啡上,倒入以蒸汽发泡的牛奶。此时咖啡的颜色,就象卡布奇诺教会的修士在深褐色的外衣上覆上一条头巾一样.咖啡因此而得名


哥伦比亚咖啡

产地:哥伦比亚.独特的酸味及醇味。清爽交替浓厚






That's all for today, now my page is overflown with coffee.......................
