Day O Banana Boat Song

A scene from the show called Beetlejuice (No idea what movie that is, but I find this scene very hilarious. LOL!). Beware the ending though. :D I used to hear this song when I was younger. Quite a catchy one.

Do enjoy!

Homemade Applesauce

Who loves apples???

I do!!! I especially love them baked and cooked though I know that the raw ones have more nutrients. But still. I also love apple pies. The ones that I will remember most are the ones baked by my late paternal grandmother. Hers was the best. Know why? Cause the pastry was just thick enough, crispy and she always always loaded her apple pies with a lot of filling!! (Heheh, yea I know. I only eat the pie for the filling.... LOL).

Anyway, I was feeling kinda hungry that Sunday. There was nothing much to eat in the house except for some biscuits (which I get fed up with) and apples and carrots. So I decided to make my own apple filling aka applesauce. This was my 'adventure'.

First, get some apples (duh). Hey, and please get green ones or Granny Smiths. No red ones or Red Washington's ok? Green apples taste the best and no one ever uses red apples in apple pies (I think).

Wash, wash and wash!! Peel off the skin then you don't have to bother with the wax 'rumour' we find on apple skins. (I forgot to peel mine). Then slice each apple into eighths. Put them in the pot. :D

Pour just enough water to cover a height of about 1 cm from the bottom of the pot. (Honestly speaking, the amount of water you choose to put, depends solely on your personal taste and preference). Bring to boil. Then simmer until the apple slices become brownish. Oohhh, don't forget to sprinkle a bit of brown sugar to add a tinge of sweetness. (Again, how much you sprinkle is your own choice).

Apple slices should all be soft and easily mashed. As I didn't peel the skin off my apples, this was how they looked like. Weird. The water level will go down. If you'd like more 'syrup', just add a slightly bit more water into the pot.

See the water at the bottom? That's the syrup! And it's sweet too! Mmm.... Heavenly! Hahaha.

Finito!!! (Finished) All in my tummy. Licked till the pot was clean. Not! But hey, it's really delicious. Enjoy it.

Ta-da!!!!  Hahahaha.

My Sexy Name

Take a look at this.

Get Your Sexy Name

It's my decoded name using the sexy name decoder.
I burst out laughing and rolling my eyes. Hahaha. No wonder I've been naughty lately. Hehehe.

Some people would surely have a ball of a time teasing me because of this.

Sesame Street

I was just commenting the other day about educational shows for children during my childhood days (make me sound so old). One of the shows I mentioned was Sesame Street!! One of my faves!! I have always loved the show and I enjoyed the different characters that came along with it.

• We have the yellow Big Bird, whom if I'm not mistaken, is a bit of a blur case.

• Oscar, the grumpy fella who lives in a 'mobile' garbage can. He walks and holds his can wherever he goes. Haha. He's kinda mean.

• What's blue, furry and loves cookies??? The Cookie monster!!  I remember that everytime he gorges down his cookie batch, crumbs will be flying everywhere..! And he only knows how to eat, eat and eat.

• Oh, then we have Elmo. The guy with the "oh-so-NOT-annoying" voice. *holds nose and speaks in a high squeaky voice* "Hello everybody. What are we going to do today?"

• Count Dracula!!! True to his name, he counts almost anything he can get his finger on. There was this episode where he even counted the amount of food on the table!! The other characters were irritated. Hahaha.

• And then, we have Ernie and Bert!! I'm not sure if they were brothers (most probably not) but they lived in the same house. I remember Ernie was the more easy-going one, whereas Bert was more stern and serious. And he'd always be scolding Ernie..hehe.

These are the only few main characters whom I remember clearly from SS. The others have not had much of an impression on me.

Recently, Google website featured different characters from SS for each different day on their search engine. I liked it a lot and finally, today, we have the whole cast of SS appearing! And I have decided keep this as a memory to remind me of those wonderful times.

Ta-dah!!!

 

Barney, Teletubbies and Whatnots

People of my generation will probably have heard of kiddy shows like Barney, the Teletubbies, Sesame Street, Electric Company and many others. While all these shows are great and meant to improve a child's knowledge from many aspects, there some shows which I can never and will never ever stand.

Any guess which ones they are? LOL.
I particularly dislike Barney and his 'cheerful' voice. Hate his purple body and that big fat tail. He's one irritating dinosaur. Remember the song, Barney always sings in every episode? The I love you song? Well, there must be a lot of anti-Barney people out there. So much so, they came up with this song.

"I hate you, you hate me,

Let's gang up to kill Barney,

With a big bang bang,

Barney's on the floor,

No more purple dinosaur."

(Sung to the tune of the original Barney song.)

There are actually a few other versions, but I think it's a bit offensive to put it here.

The other irritating characters on kiddy shows that irk me, are the Teletubbies. I have no idea why some people say they are cute. Oh right.... cute equals adorable but ugly right? Haha. I have only watched a few episodes, so my judgment maybe biased. I have no idea what the symbols on the Tubbies head are for. Communication? (some sort of aerial thingie I suppose) What's with the tummies on them? You could at least call them Teletummies. Heh. Fat bunch of colourful blubbers. I am mean... LOL. Whatever it is, I find them gross.

It doesn't help when people like me, come across pictures like this.

Those guys had better not think of wearing this for Halloween. I certainly do not want to think about what other people will do to them.

Studio Convo Pics

Ooppss.. Yea it's a kinda overdue. But I so want to share my bundle of joy with you all.  *big, wide grin* (Not really, just wanted a reason to put up these pics. Ha.) Thus this post. :P

As you may know, my convocation  was held at Wisma MCA (UTAR ma.... eesh, no posh hotel unlike Chian heh) on 9th Aug 2009.  Nothing much, except a sense of sadness as we finally graduate and go on our separate ways and that day was the only day we'll see each other in full attendance/ force. (For sure, there are people who are always missing during gatherings haha).

Well, graduation is an important event no? Thus, it calls for studio photos!!! Muahaha.
Revealing....ta-da!

Silly Questions

R to me: "Hey, you straightened your hair ah?"
My reply: "No, gravity pulled my hair down straight for me."

A to me: "You look very glamorous today!"
My thoughts: Meaning I look horrible everyday? -.-'

A phone call woke me up from my slumber.
Caller: "Hey, sleeping ah?"
My reply: "Not anymore..."

Upon receiving a phone call,
Caller: "Hey Kath, are you there?"
My reply: "No, I'm not. That's why I'm talking to you."

Someone to me: "Oh! You're here."
My reply: "No. It's the body snatchers..."

*sweats*

Breakfast Conversation

We had breakfast together today. One of the very, very rare times.
Dad had some scratches on his chest, thanks to our female dog, Holly.

And this was what happened.

Mom: "What happened to you?"

Dad: "The dog scratched me when I was playing with her."

Mom: "Sure it's not some other bitch?"

Dad (with a sheepish smile): "No la... She suddenly jumped up at me."

Mom: "That will teach you a lesson for walking around bare-chested among bitches." Then she laughs.

Me and my two sisters : -.-'
