Sepang CMC Carnival

Went down to mum's hometown, Sepang for the weekend ~

Sepang CMC is having a Carnival to fund their new education block, so we'll be helping out at the sales booths =)

FRIDAY

Left home around 3pm.. dropped by Sepang town for tea.. a TRADITIONAL kopitiam that serves TRADITIONAL kopi and toast that costs TRADITIONAL prices~ =D

toast+kaya+butter = Heaven~ ^^

mum's fav kopi-O

After tea, we returned to our car to find a flat tyre!! I swear it wasn't flat when i drove it!! XD guess mum was doubtful.. =P Thank God there was a repair shop a few shops away from the kopitiam =P

Anyways, we reached Sg. Pelek safely =) went to Tanjung Sepat for seafood dinner with mum's friends~ yum yum ^^

SATURDAY

Woke up at 5.30am and got to the Carnival venue at 7am.. It was raining heavily then.. Thank God the weather was beautiful after the morning's rain =) i was assigned to help out at the blood test booth.. giving out numbers and helping them with the registration.. was too busy to take any photos XD there was lots of people in the morning as they wanted to get their blood test done to end their 8-10 hours fast.. I oso took my first blood test that day.. 

See..? ^^

Well, i think i wasn't afraid of the needle.. XD but still the needle did look rather intimidating.. XP haha..

Busy busy busy busy.. there was lots of home cooked yummy food, sushi king oso came and opened a booth~  ^^ all sorts of things were on sale too, u name it we've got it ;) haha.. guess the booth that drew in the most revenue was the games booths! XD there were lots of attractive prizes eg mountain bike, SE handphone, toys.. we oso had a blood donation drive and kids colouring contest~ the carnival ended successfully at 2pm, by the time we cleared everything and got home it was already 3+pm.. Nap time! =P

30th July ~ 1st August

Just came back from 迎新生活营（+ - x /）2010 ~ Am dead tired right now XD haven't been exercising regularly, thus am suffering muscle pain from the excessive outdoor activities that we had! XD on the whole, it was quite fun despite not really knowing anybody before the camp =P Made some very awesome friends~ ;) this camp was held specially to welcome first year students to uni life, many UPM students attended the camp as UPM is the nearest uni~ come to think of it, if i hadn't choose to study in ATC, i would be one of the UPMers! =D haha.. basically, i'm the ONLY student that comes from Serdang! 80-90% of the students are from Sarawak~~ and they are all Fukchows! XD makes me very guilty when they speak fukchow, cuz i'm a fukchow illiterate fukchow!! ah!! XD need mix around more to learn fukchow from them =P anyways, who cares where you're from and what ethnicity you are? God loves everybody regardless of race, religion, gender, nationality and etc! God always loves the person on the inside, so should we~ =) Had a great time with my new friends, lots of laughs, lots of fun~ ;)

Our camp's theme

Woke up at 5am on the 31st to climb Broga Hill to see the sunrise~ it wasn't an easy climb up, but we made it in the end, the beautiful scenery and fresh air made the exhaustive climb worthwhile! =) ohya, met bowl and xing and co too! surprise surprise~ ^_^

Cloudy sunrise

After returning to the campsite, we had obstacle courses XD did some really extreme activities for the first time =P FIRST time playing flying fox, rock climbing and leap of faith~

All geared up~ Flying fox here i come~~ 

was very very gan jiong cuz it was my first time facing the flying fox obstacle.. it was really an ecstatic experience~ =P was soooooo tensed when i jumped,  however, when i relaxed and i started to appreciate the beautiful bird's eye view, and before i knew it the ride was over.. =P

The activity that made the most impression was the 

Leap of Faith.. 

We had to don on a full body harness and climb a super tall tree, reach the mini platform and JUMP!!! our target was to catch hold of a black horizontal pole hanging in mid air.. XD

ready?

JUMP!!!!

Bingo! ;) caught hold of the pole ^__^

The tree was really very tall.. no kidding.. didn't even dare to look down from the platform.. XD

靠着那加给我力量的，我凡事都能做！！

恩德传道 was our speaker of the night..=) many of the students dozed off as they were extremely lethargic after the day's activities =P 

Fashion show~

XD

My Angel~ Wen Wen~

All in all, it was a fun and enjoyable camp =) 

May God bless us in our uni life to make the right decisions and to walk with Him throughout the journey!

La Lasagna

Mum had to attend a Techer's Day Dinner in Putrajaya.. so, that made Chef Denise in charge of dinner for the 3 girls left at home =P It was a perfect opportunity to try something new that my mum abhores~ Lasagna~ ^__^ 

First, prepare the ingredients~

 4 lagsana sheets, half a bottle of prego sauce, a cup of milk, 6 pieces of Cheesedale Cheddar, 250g of minced beef, 2 tbs of butter and flour, oil, Parmesan cheese powder, oregano, salt + pepper, chopped half a carrot, 1 onion and 5 cloves of garlic.

Then, cook the meat sauce. heat the oil, sauté the onion, garlic and carrot, add the beef and cook till it turns brown.  After that, add the prego sauce ( actually people make their own tomato sauce from tomatoes and stuff, using prego is cheating XD ) and water and let it boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes. 

Next, the cheese sauce~ melt 2 tbs of butter and stir in 2 tbs of flour over small fire. Then, remove the pan/pot from the heat and add 2 cups of milk. Put it back over the heat and add in the sliced cheddar cheese. (Packets of cheese sold in supermarket are sooo expensive, so i opted for sandwich cheese which turned out ok too ^^) Stir the mixture all the while  (u won't want it to burn ) till it is smooth.

Lastly, we layer the it~ start with the meat sauce at the bottom, then layer it accordingly - lasagna, meat sauce, cheese sauce. Keep repeating the layers and end with the cheese sauce right on the top. I managed to complete 4 layers only as my baking dish is too small.. Used up only half of the cheese sauce, so will reduce the cheese sauce recipe by half next time. =P Sprinkle a lil cheese powder on top and walah~ it's ready for the oven =)

I added a lil too much cheese powder on the top, which surprisingly doesn't melt in the oven =.= anyways, preheat the oven at 200 degree Celsius and cover the dish with aluminium foil before baking it for 40 minutes. Only remove the aluminium foil for the last 10 minutes 

 

and..

TaDaA~ ^_^
