Egg tart again!!

26.06.09 (Friday)

After studied the whole morning on NIE's papers, I felt so boring. Thus I decided to bake some egg tarts for my dear. The recipe came from Kuali. The result tunred out to be quite good, but my pastry was a bit too hard, because I put around 110g butter. Hihi...next time I should put 130g of butter.

Ingredients:

A) Pastry
210g plain flour
1 tsp milk powder
30g icing sugar
1/2 egg yolk
130g cold butter, cubed

B) Filling
120g castor sugar
250ml hot water
1¾ tbsp milk powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs


Method:

Beat butter, icing sugar and egg yolk until creamy. Sift in flour and milk powder to mix into a pliable dough. Cover with a piece of tea towel and leave aside for 20–30 minutes. Roll out pastry in between two sheets of plastic. Stamp out 9–10cm circles of pastry with a pastry cutter. Line egg tart patty tins with pastry circles. Trim off excess pastry dough and prick the base with a fork. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 10–12 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.To prepare filling, dissolve sugar in hot water and stir in milk powder and salt. Leave aside to cool, then add vanilla essence. Break eggs into a clean bowl. Stir lightly with a fork, but do not beat. Pour the cooled milk mixture into the eggs. Stir to mix, then strain into a measuring cup. Leave aside.Pour custard mixture till almost full into pre-baked pastry cases and bake at 180°C for about 20–25 minutes or until filling is set.

Countdown- 3 weeks before Semester End!!

24.06.09 (Wednesday)

After I finished my Case Study EAEC's presentation this afternoon, I could release at least some of my stress. My group scored a good mark for our presentation today, we felt very happy and satisfied because the comments from the Prof. were positive. The day before this presentation, we stayed at the Uni until 8pm for final discussion and beautified our power point. Arrived at my domitory, I still worked on some preparation for the presentation - reading additional informations and getting ready for answering the questions.

2 days ago, I also finished my International Marketing II's presentation. I felt really happy because my Prof. just gave us good comments without asking question after our presentation. This was the 1st time I experienced that he did not ask question after the presentation. Haha...that means our efforts are not wasted.

My final exam timetable came out already, so I must plan my personal study schedule right now because I still need to prepare for another 2 presentations during this critical period. Actually this semester is busier and more exhausting compared to last semester. Everyone is busying with presentations, reports and assignments during the whole semester. Studying in Germany is really tough, there is no study break for students to prepare their exams. Haiz... my following weeks are packed!


02.07.09 New Institutional Economic presentation
09.07.09 German Grammatic II written exam
13.07.09 International Marketing II presentation
14.07.09 International Human Resource Management written exam
16.07.09 German Sprachstraining oral exam
24.07.09 International Accounting II written exam
30.07.09 International Marketing II oral exam

Education Strike at My University!!

15.06.09 (Monday)

This afternoon I received a call from my coursemate that there have a education strike at our university from 15th June until 19th June, thus all our lectures were cancelled. Almost all the building were blocked by the student, tables and chairs. Because of this strike, my International Marketing 2 's presentation was cancelled. The Prof. will find another day to replace our lecture this afternoon. Actually I do not really know, what is the reason for strike. If the strike will continue, then we need to attend more replacement classes next few weeks. Aiyah.... :(


This is Wiwi Cafeteria, which normally I have my lunch with my coursemates here. Above from cafeteria is our business faculty's library.

家常便菜之八- 午餐肉豆腐

14.06.09(星期日)

完成我的功课后,看见冰箱有午餐肉及一块豆腐,因此傍晚我准备了这道午餐肉豆腐及腐于油麦。油麦-这种菜在这儿是非常罕见,我们还是第一次买油麦。至于午餐肉豆腐,我必须先煎午餐肉,然后加入红萝卜丝炒香。过后,加入豆腐煮2、3分钟,加入一些胡椒粉,红椒粉,盐,糖及少许水来煮3至5分钟就可以上桌。它的效果不错!

忙得透不过气!!

14.06.09 (星期日)

放假回来后,这个星期我开始忙于我的两个Presentations - International Marketing 2 及 Case studies in European Asian Economic Cooperation。所以这两个星期我会留在汉堡。今天中午,我终于完成了明天的(IM2) Presentation's power point。感到非常的开心!!过了这个后,我必须赶完 Case studies in European Asian Economic Cooperation 的 power point。这个题目比较能发挥,因为我们将要在下个星期三呈献是关于Malaysia: Strategies for the Liberalisation of the Services Sector。身为大马人的我占优势。哈哈。。。除此之外,这个学期结束前,七月份我也要呈献两个Presentation及准备四个考试-International Human Resource Management, International Accounting 2, German Grammatic 2 及German Presentation Skill.

时间过得非常的快,转眼间,这个学期还有六个星期就结束了。其实我觉得这两个学期非常的忙碌及感到非常大的压力,但是这一切都不重要,最重要我学到一些新知识及认识新朋友。哈哈。。。这两个学期我总共修了八十四个学分。其实这个课程需要修一百二十个学分。我所剩下三十六个学分。下个学期就是我的蜜月期(Urlaub Semester),因为我只要修六个学分就可以了,而三十个学分是来自第四个学期的实习和毕业论文。因此暑假回来后,我将会开始申请进入国际公司做实习。这就是先苦后甜, 迈向我的未来。加油!!

我的男友忙于他的研究活动。虽然这两个星期我们都非常忙碌及承受很大压力,但是我们感到非常开心。因为他的研究工作终于有了新进展,所以HK忙于写他的报告及Paper。HK在一个星期前才完成第一张Paper,而这两个星期他要做更多的实验来写第二张Paper。希望HK能够顺利的得到更多新的实验成绩。其实我俩都非常担心他的研究成绩,因为好几个星期都没有一点进展,幸好最近它有突破。不然,HK会感到气馁及担忧。自从HK身为全职工作,我知道HK承受超大的压力,因为缺少时间专心地做他的研究,在加上他所研究的产品时常出现毛病,这间公司用了很多时间来修理。一年前,这间公司时常都会花两,三个月才会把有问题的产品修理好及送回来。而半年前,这间公司非常紧张及给很多压力,因为他们的对手近期也着重研究这个产品。哈哈。。。这就是德国公司的工作精神。我及他的家人都感到非常自豪,因为HK能够在短时间内达到很好的研究成绩。加油!!我们都会给予精神上的支持!! :)

媽媽, 媳婦 & 女兒的差別

最近我从朋友的网上所读的文章,所以与大家分享。。。

媳妇与女兒差別:
1. 媳婦不想煮飯是懶惰,女兒偶而才煮個一餐就是貼心。
2. 媳婦買的東西很難吃,女兒買的全部都'喔伊細'。
3. 媳婦出門旅遊是浪費錢,女兒出門旅遊是放輕鬆。
4. 媳婦沒事不要常回娘家,女兒沒事也要常回來娘家才行。
5. 媳婦說經濟差回的話是: [活該妳不知節約!],女兒說經濟差回的話是:「女婿的能力太差。」
6. 媳婦上班回來家事要包辦,女兒上班回來等吃補品。
7. 媳婦回嘴是大逆不道,女兒回嘴是正義秉然。
8. 媳婦不會的做的事要學著做,女兒不會做的事就不用做。
9. 媳婦去玩沒帶老的是不孝,女兒去完只帶紀念品回來就好乖。
10.媳婦買的用品怎麼用都不順手,女兒買的用品怎麼用都好用。
11.媳婦賺的錢是夫家所共有,要幫忙擔家計. 女兒賺的錢都該是個人私人所得.夫家不得過問。
當然囉! 兒子的薪水不該交給媳婦處理,女婿的薪水最好是全部都交給女兒任意使用。
(想储蓄都没了!)
12.媳婦的孩子不乖是媽媽沒教好,女兒的孩子不乖是是孫子調皮惹媽媽生氣。
(两老都是这样埋怨我没教孩子。 但是大姑奶的,他们就会说为什么女婿没教。还说什么我老公小时没有顽皮这类的事,意味着孩子像我一样不听话。)
13.媳婦的老公'惜某'是某奴,女兒的老公'惜某'是大丈夫。
14.媳婦出嫁最好跟娘家撇乾淨一點,女兒出嫁切不可忘了生身父母。

如果妳碰到好的婆婆&媳婦,要懂得珍惜喔.
這是人的自私,媳婦跟女兒, 就是這麼不同.
其實~並不是每個婆婆&媽媽,媳婦&女兒都這樣!!
如果你碰到一位好婆婆&好媳婦~記得要珍惜喔!

****************************************************************

媽媽与婆婆的差別:

1. 頂媽媽的嘴,媽媽一下子就忘了;頂婆婆的嘴,一輩子牢記在心。(真的会记得牢)
2. 媽媽切水果給妳吃,順其自然.;妳切水果給婆婆吃,理所當然。
3. 肚子餓了,媽媽煮三餐給妳吃,很自然;婆婆煮三餐給妳吃,很不孝。
4. 吃飯時間,忘了叫媽媽吃飯,沒事;忘了叫婆婆吃飯,沒禮貌。
5. 媽媽在忙,妳沒幫忙,沒怎樣;婆婆在忙,妳沒幫忙皮在癢。
6. 在媽家,出門辦事,不必趕回家,只等吃飯;在婆家,出門辦事,趕回家煮飯。(不用煮饭,但要赶紧回来看孩子让她煮饭)
7. 媽媽訓話,左耳進右耳出;婆婆訓話,心理不以為然也要回答…是..是.. (也别想回嘴哦!)
8. 出外旅遊沒帶媽媽,沒人說妳不孝;但沒帶婆婆,可有人說妳不孝了。
9. 可以在媽媽面前說妳先生的不是,但千萬別在妳婆婆面前抱怨妳先生的不對。
10.在媽媽面前,偷懶心安理得;在婆婆面前,這個'懶'字說不得,更別說付諸行動。
11.在家,有好吃好喝的,媽媽捨不得吃,留給妳;但在婆家,拍寫(台語),是妳要留給別人(順序是:公婆,老公,孩子,有剩才輪到妳)
12.妳的悲,妳的喜,媽媽很在乎,但婆婆…這個就很難評估。
13.在媽媽面前跺腳,是撒嬌;在婆婆面前跺腳,是大逆不道。

***************************************

以下是位不署名的網友看了上面2篇文章後有感而發寫的:

'婆婆對待女兒和媳婦的差別':

1、女兒婚後住娘家,天經地義。媳婦婚後住娘家,天翻地覆。
2、女兒婚後生不生?她高興就好。媳婦婚後一定要生,且要生男生。
3、女兒躲在房間,喔~她在忙。媳婦躲在房間,切~沒家教。
4、女兒ㄚ!女人不要進廚房。兒子ㄚ!要娶個會進廚房的女人。
5、女兒出嫁(附近)一定要有禮車迎娶。娶媳婦(附近)用走的過來就好。
6、女婿ㄚ!不能讓我女兒騎車喔! 媳婦ㄚ!妳要自己騎車啦!
7、女兒ㄚ!女人要對自己好,想買什麼就去買。媳婦ㄚ!不要亂花錢。
8、女兒工作辛苦,老娘要幫她煮飯洗衣。媳婦工作輕鬆,家事給她全包了。
9、過年過節女兒可以不回夫家拜拜。但要求媳婦一定要回來拜拜。
10、女兒住院心疼憂心,每天「雞湯」伺候。媳婦住院連根「雞毛」都沒有。

看完之後是否覺得心有戚戚焉 ! 我們期盼自己的女兒被人疼惜,故大家應將心比心,更疼惜別人的女兒(喂 ! 是自己的媳婦也)。

what do you think after u read this? .........

Share some comments to all of you too:
Well, there are different thoughts… it has been an issue from olden days… However, sometimes, we really need to think : MIL is after all not that scary… human skills, and managing people is always an art and requires skills… it is part and parcel of our life… just like any other places where we are… in office, handling colleagues, superiors, dealing with friendship, at home, dealing with husband, kids… it’s an art… so do mil, no difference.
Before we comment, shall we also ponder whether we are treating our MIL as our mother? If you can bath your mum when she’s sick, will you both your MIL? If you are buying bird nest for your mum, are you saving her portion? If we can’t treat her like our own mother, then what else do we expect? Next, before we start to comment and criticize about our MIL, ask ourselves whether we’ve put in enough effort in building the relationship. Don’t forget, she spends her 20-30 yrs with her daughter, and she may only know you for few years, if she’s staying with you, that may be just a short while. So, why complain about her not being understanding and treating her daughter better?!
My friend´s personal view : if you love your husband, you´ve to love her mother as much as how you love your own mother. Because that’s his mother too. Most importantly, don’t put him in a difficult position. Do your part, be graceful and courteous towards our MIL. Ask yourself how you want to be treated by your daughter in law in the future, that’s how you are going to treat your MIL now. Because… what goes around comes around. It’s never easy dealing with MIL… and learn after every incident that happen… rmb, how you are treating your MIL is being watched by your kids… most importantly, do your part well, play your role as a DIL well. If you’ve done your best, and things are not going smooth… it’s ok, because God is watching, you’ll be blessed and rewarded later part in your life! Anyway, life is never fair.
My personal view: I totally agree with my friend´s comment. We need to try our best to treat our husband´s family as our own family as well.

Assam Fish!!

04.06.09 (Thursday)
After finished reading IHRM, I spent 2 hours for wii sport and yoga this afternoon. We got some new games including My Personal Trainer, which I like really much.

This evening I prepared Assam Fish as our dinner. First, I prepared some assam paste. I blended some lemon grass, chillies, garlic and onions together. After that, I put some oil and fried the mix ingredient. Then, added some assam paste, sugar and salt. Fried the mixture until fragrance. Finally, I just put some assam paste on the ikan kampung and put some lady fingers and onion. I wrapped it with aluminium foil and baked it at 200°C for 30-45 min.

祈福给我亲爱的大姑!!

02.06.09(星期二)

自从上个星期,我亲爱的大姑进入医院后,我的家人们都非常的胆心,尤其是我年迈的公公及婆婆。上个星期她刚刚被医生做了一次肠手术后,我们都希望大姑能在星期天出院。结果,今天妈妈及妹妹告诉我,大姑得了轻微的中风,再加上她的CT Scan报告,她的脑出现了一颗瘤。我听了后,眼泪不停的流了。我不停的问我的家人,那颗瘤是良性还是恶性,医生们都不能肯定,因为明天她必须做个MRI检查。过后,医生还告诉我的家人,割除脑的瘤的手术将会在星期四进行。妈妈还吩咐我,不要将这个脑的事情告诉婆婆。我们都知道婆婆及公公自从大姑进医院后,他俩都睡不着及吃不多。我也知道我的双亲,叔叔,婶婶,小姑,表哥及表妹们都睡不安。每个人都非常担心大姑的病况。

放下电话后,我打个电话找HK。由于HK也在Oncology and Radiation Therapy部门工作,HK分析了瘤在脑部的严重性给我听。如果它是良性,那么割除脑的瘤的手术后,一切都会慢慢好起来,而且可以活超过十年。这也要看病人如何照顾身体及要吃健康的食物。如果是恶性,那就是脑癌了。手术后,也要做化疗或电疗,这才可以防止癌细胞丛生。而病人的寿命也要看它的癌症是第几期。由于我们还没有MRI报告,HK不能告诉我大姑的情况。因此,我联络我的同学,她也是脑科医生在大姑所住的医院,她会在明天晚上告诉我们更详细的MRI报告,因此HK可以告诉我及家人关于大姑的病况及什么样的手术才适合。谢谢我的同学的帮忙。

其实,自从HK在这个部门工作,他时常都告诉我关于很多癌症病人的化疗或电疗情况及后遗症给我听。有时候我会去医院找他吃午餐,我也会看到这些病人,我会感到非常伤心及希望他们很快的康复。因此,我们都非常的注意我们的饮食习惯。我们也希望身旁的家人,亲戚朋友都不会有这个病。我从来没有想过我的亲戚会有这个病,所以我哭了。

整个下午,我都不能专心的阅读IHRM,我唯有念佛号及祈福给我亲爱的大姑,希望她能度过这个难关及早日康复!!
