Baby n Me ....
I ve been waiting for ages n ages to watch JGS's new movie 'Baby n Me'. Well yest seems to ve been the lucky day since i found the full movie on utube .. yeyyyyyyy .. but it d been thr since nov 7th :( n i only found it on the 20th .. how sad is that :((
So the story goes:
JGS s the typical rebelious high school teenager, popular among the girls but a nightmare for his parents n teachers. Typically v c the dad throwing his son out of the house to make him a changed person, but here his parents decide to leave home when they cant take anymore of his crazy antics .. haha .. so one fine day JGS finds himself all alone at home. Well he cant b happier !! But soon things change when a baby appears with a name tag claiming to b his son .. hehe. What follows is the usual drama with a happy ending ....
It wasn the expected copy of Juno (the english movie) or Jenny Juno (the korean movie) though the whole theme was similar. It was fun watching JSG n baby mason .. but why the hell did they use the voice over of some stupid drunk guy instead of a baby .. that was really lame !
Now I dont think it was as good as i was expecting it to be :( which is sad; only die hard fans of Jang Guem-Suk like me :D would b able to handle it !!!
But anybody would enjoy this vid posted by 'Laiyiwen' on utube:

The Mediator Series
Recently i came across a young adult series called 'The Mediator' by Meg Cabot famous for her Princess diaries series.
Its about sixteen year old Sussanah (Suze) who can see, touch, hit, punch n even butt kick ghosts, only no one in her family knows this ! That is she is one among the few mediators to walk the planet, whose role is to help ghosts finish their business on earth so they can pass on to the afterlife.
She n her mother, move from Brooklyn to live with her new stepfather and brothers in California. This is where she encounters Jesse, a spirit like no other and to whom she later proves to be bound by destiny, whether she likes him or not. And that she definitely does :D well he s such a handsome ghost living in her bedroom, u'd wonder who wouldn't, though hes from like 150 years back !!! Her new school is no better with lots of ghosts with unfinished business roaming the place. However a slight advantage would b Father dominic, the school principal, a mediator !
Sonds interesting ney ... well run along to the nearest library :)
Shadowland, Ninth Key, Reunion, Darkest hour, Haunted n Twilight make up the series. So far i ve only read Shadowland n waiting to get my hands on the others ........... which is proving to b sooooooooooooo hard since the school hols started :(

Nora Roberts / JD Robb
Eleanor Marie Robertson, better known as Nora Roberts or J.D.Robb is totally my best loved author in the romance genre. Two of my favs by her r the Stanilslaskis n the In death series.
The Stanislaski Series:
Details the lives of Yuri n Nadia Stanislaski after they fleed Ukraine to the US. Each book in this six part series is about one of their kids; Natasha, Mikhail, Rachel n Alex followed by their eldest grand-daughter Freddie n youngest Kate.
A good read if u love noisy BIG families n sunday parties n lots lots lots of emo :D
In Death Series by JD Robb:
A romantic-mystery/romance suspense series set in the late 2050s New York. Other planets have been discovered and humans have built man-made worlds where they travel for holidays. Droids are commonly used as mechanical servants or extra office labor. Food is prepared by machines called Auto Chefs.
The main characters r:
Lieutenant Eve Dallas: Eve was found in an alley in Dallas, when she was supposedly eight years old. She had a broken arm, was covered in old blood, and had no memory. Unable to remember anything at all, her social worker named her Eve n put her into a foster home, the beginning of Eve's life in the system. Eventually, by the start of the series, she becomes Lieutenant in the Homicide squad of NYPSD as a way of dealing with her own psychological issues.Eve is a fiercely dedicated cop. Eve prefers to do things on her own, as it has less complications that way, both in her personal and professional lives ... thats a really nice policy !
The In Death Series is about Eve n Roarke n their friends like Detective Peabody, Detective McNAb, Mavis Freestone, Dr.Mira, CAptain Feeney n ............ n how they apprehend serial killers, rapists n a whole lot of sick bastards ... Still to get my hands on the latest in the bunch 'Salvation in Death', can hardly wait ....
Its nvr the 'i knew that' style .. so try it out sooon :)

Eve prefers to do things on her own, as it has less complications that way, both in her personal and professional lives ... thats a really nice policy !
Eve's relationship with Roarke (her hubby) is integral to her character; she wants to depend on him, but she is afraid of using him. She gets over that as the books progress, Roarke is a civilian consultant in several of her cases. However, there is no one that Dallas loves more in the world, and vice versa. He is also the only man she has ever loved romantically. The same is true for him.
Roarke: A former career criminal, he is the owner and CEO of Roarke Industries, an inter-planetary corporation that has made him one of the richest men in the world. He is quite skilled in electronics and can dismantle any type of security, lock, or coding, as well as hacking into any electronic database—including but not limited to the FBI, Interpol or Homeland Security.He is very even-tempered, but does in fact have a very nasty temper if riled. He does not lash out indiscriminately, however, and usually is only angry when the situation calls for it. He has his own personal sense of justice separate from legality; if he believes something should be done, he will do it, even if it is illegal .. pretty strong char huh !!The In Death Series is about Eve n Roarke n their friends like Detective Peabody, Detective McNAb, Mavis Freestone, Dr.Mira, CAptain Feeney n ............ n how they apprehend serial killers, rapists n a whole lot of sick bastards ...

K drama
I read somewhere abt Elvin's [one of the cutest actors in Singapore] take on K drama. Here goes:
“Korean dramas are so different from local and Hong Kong dramas. The attraction of K-dramas is that the plot revolves around the male leads, all of them arrogant, suave, charismatic and very well-dressed. That’s the formula; the girl goes after the guy and the girls are the funny ones. Sometimes the male leads don’t exactly look very gorgeous but viewers get drawn to their characters… Korean actors sure know how to ‘electrify’ and act ‘shuai’ (cool),”
What an accurate finding !!
well now u know why i so love watching Korean drama :)
Some examples would be the likes of Rain from Full House, Kwon Sang Woo from Stairway to heaven ..
Yoon Kye Sang frm Crazy For You, Kim Jeong Hoon frm Princess Hours ..
Lee DongGun frm Sweet 18 and the youngest of the lot Jang Guem Suk frm Hong gil Dong/ DoReMiFaSoLaTiDo/Beethoven Virus.
On another note, most K dramas have this totally funny female lead who s fond of repeated disastrous blunders n sheepish smiles to go along ! Though i dont really ve a fav Kim Sun Ah n Han Ji Hye r pretty good.
Well m bored now .. so thats all for now :D

One Tree Hill
I was getting bored today but couldn find any good korean/jap/ taiwanese drama to watch :( thats when i remembered abt OTH, my most watched American drama when i was back in Australia. Its a pity in Singapore u need to pay to watch season 6 or risk computer virus :((( poor me :(( I miss DC at Womens College soooooooo much ..
OTH is by far my best loved drama (well in the family/teen genre that is). Its been a looooooooooong journey, the past 5 seasons watching all the various characters blosomming into btr ppl helping each other in the process. The story is basically abt Lucas Scott (Luke) n his circle of friends. Starting off frm high school, the story takes us thru their lives in school n after graduation. The characters r more aware n mature compared to other teen dramas. This is very much evident from all the famous OTH quotes. Luke is an ardent basketball player n budding writer, Peyton uses her music n art to express herself. brooke has her fashion designing, Haley her singing, Nathan his basketball ... The show is also very musically abundant with guest performance by the likes of Gavin degraw, Fall out boy, Jimmy eat world, Sheryl Crow, Michelle branch n Tyler hilton to name a few ....
Lucas: The protagonist n narrator for most part of the series, played by Chad Michael Murray.
Hes the strongest among the frnz, sensible, caring, understanding, atheletic n last but not least pretty handsome :D. Hes one person who always tries to get along with ppl, whatever be the situation. Never the first to start a problem, accuse others of wrong doing or rash. Hes always been in love with Peyton Sawyer [who used to be his borther s (nathan) girlfried .. haha .. now doesn sound too good if u ve no idea abt luke or peyton or nathan .... ] However after a few girlfriends n flings n almost getting married he finally gets back to Peyton in Season 6 .. Thank God !!
One of my fav quotes by Luke;
"It´s only when you´re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it´s only when you´re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be does exist, somewhere in the other side of hard work and faith, and belief and beyond the HEARTACHE and fear of what life has".
Peyton: Portrayed by Hillarie Burton. Music is her life, a loner who
takes time to open up to people but she has a good heart. In some
aspects she used to remind me of myself :)
"At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one".
Haley: Off screen the singer Bethany Joy Galeotti. Luke s best friend.
Their friendship is simply the best, jus beautifull !! Her songs r very
soulfull n warm like Halo, Dont walk away, When the stars go blue n
the best: Feel This ...

Red bean paste
Now this is another of my fav Korean desert. Simply yet yummy !!!!!!
All u need is some red beans, sugar n water :)
Get some red beans (a cup or two) n soak them in cold water for a few hours. Now cook them in a pressure cooker to make it fast or boil them in some water ( this would take longer .. hrs instead of mins) Smash the beans well so that it forms a nice paste. Now use a strainer to remove the peel frm the paste. This part is a bit time consuming n tedious, however the more effort u put in the btr ur desert is gonna taste :) You can add some water to the paste to help sieve. Collect the fine paste, add some water n sugar to it and heat it up. Once it starts to boil keep stirring. After a while it tickens.
If u like it hot go ahead n try or else refrigerate it once it cools down. Top it up with some almond, cashew or any such nuts when serving depending on ur taste.

Skincare - Swimming
A common prblm every body who goes swimming suffers, darkening of the skin or skin irritation. Recently my moms been so troubled by these red rashes that appear soon after she gets off the water .. probably poor water quality or sun exposure s the cause. Looks like the sunblock she was using previously wasn good enough :( Now she s switched to 'Avene Ultra high protection' which seems to be working .. so m guessing the name after all does its job !! So if u ve the same prblm try this product.
For skin darkening an effective homey remedy mommy came up with is to bath with a mixture of besan +sandal powder. The longer u keep it on before washing off, the better. However, am not sure if it ll work on all skin kinds, u d need to try that out !!

ayyooo boreadikunnuuuuuu ..........
Gee .. i guess that s some unusual title for ones first post :) well thats me !!
cant help it either .. 25 n w/o a proper job can make u go crazy ........................
Except for Rainism (thats Rain's totally awesome fifth album released last week) there isn much keeping me going ... unless u consider my new hobby .. Cooking !!!
My latest invention is this Spicy chicken soup which was supposed to be done Korean style .. but instead i ended up inventing my own Korean+ Chinese+ Indian+ American style ending up a total waste of time n ingredients :(
now that was until dad decided to take up the challenge !!
The only prblm was that i used too much chilli even fr me to handle :( poor me. Otherwise m sure it turned out pretty good. So i added some coconut milk to it, which dint realy help .. gee .. now my soup turned out more like some malay curry !!!!
Nyways atlast dad used up my so called soup to make up for the use of chilli powder in his sabji .. how usefull !!
So here it is .. for anybody still interested or bored like me :)
DD's Spicy chiken soup
Chicken pieces 1 ( i used a leg piece, u could decide that urself )
Potatoe 1
Carrot 1
Brocolli few stems
Celery one stem
Onion 1
(U can always add some ginger or garlic if u like)
Soy sauce 1 or 2 spoons
Chilli powder 1 or 2 spoons
Salt ...
Firstly,
Chicken broth:
Boil some water n put in ur chicken pieces .. keep in going ( on light heat) for around an hour .. the chicken pieces would ve been cooked n ur broth is ready .. remove the pieces frm it n now set aside the broth.
Shred the chiken pieces n marinate them in a mixture of soy sauce , chilli powder, salt n a few spoons of chicken broth. Keep it aside for a few mintues.
Veg base:
Cook together one potatoe, carrot, some brocolli stems . Use cerely, parsley etc if u like. Use a pressure cooker to get them cooked faster. Instead u can also jus boil them untill cooked. Now blend them in a blender/ mixer, it ll turn out into a nice paste.
Soup:
Now to the final part.
Heat up a sausepan .. put in some oil (of ur choice)
Fry some Onion.
Pour the chicken broth from before n bring it to a boil.
Now add the marinated chiken pieces.
Once it boils add the veg paste.
Once the whole things boils ur soup is ready .. top it up with some butter/ coriander depending on ur taste.
Now that was the first time i tired writing down a recipe .. hopefully that made some sense :)
* Korean cuisine does not consider soup as a different course n is usually served along with some rice and kimchi. This recipe especially is not an appetiser, but a meal as such :) hence the extra term .. spicy !!
