Eyes Lasik Anniversary

I did my eyes Lasik last year on 23 Apr 2010. Wanted to get rid of my spec for quite some time but not dare to take the risk and Lasik operation is quite expansive. Oh… u might be wondering why not just wear contact lens. I start wearing contact lens since secondary school time. Maybe I didn't take care of my eyes so much back then, I kind of having mild dry eye syndrome which contact lens will make it worst.

So happened that me and my family passed by Vista road show on a random weekend, after check up I am qualify for eye Lasik surgery. Life is short. Just do it. The package i selected is Intralase + Advance Aspheric B&L Lasik for both eyes @ RM5,596.(Original price RM5,996, discount RM400)

The drastic different after eye Lasik with perfect eye sight is I can check out the clock whenever I wan without glasses. It’s is very irritating that at night or early morning you need to get up and wear ur glasses just to find out what time is it.

I can run and swim without worrying blurry obstacle. Hahaha…. Sound like I’m so keen in sport. ;p But I can walk under rain without unnecessary clumsiness with wet spectacle now for sure.

My doctor is Alan Koh Kok Khiang (oh… now oni I realized he is triple K) ;p He is very patient and gentle. He did calm me down a lot during surgery. He also did eye Lasik for Myfm DJ Gan Mei Yan. The sales person showed me their picture during promoting time.

Oh... found tis website online. Very informative. Please read this before you decide whether or not to opt for eye lasik surgery.

Steamed white sugar sponge cake ( Bak Tong Gou 白糖糕)

This dessert is quite easy to make but a bit time consuming as it need about 6-8 hours for fermentation.You can choose to prepare at nite and let it ferment before sleep. Next morning just steam for 15-25 minutes then you will have nice fluffy dessert for breakfast. But please take note; it will turn sour if it gets over fermented.

Ingredient：

(A)

200g      Rice flour粘米粉

140g      Sugar白砂糖

410g      Water水

1. Add all ingredients into a pot, mix well and keep stirring with low heat. Make sure the pot is big enough for double the ingredient coz after fermentation, the mixture will almost double the size.

2. Cook until the mixture is a bit sticky and increased thickness (like sesame paste) removes from heat. Bear in mind that the mixture will continue to cook until it is completely cold off. Please continue to stir for a while and sieve it to remove clumps.

 (B)

½ tsp     Baking Powder泡打粉

1 tsp      Dried yeast乾酵母

2 tbsp    Water水

1. Add baking powder and dried yeast into water. Mix well then add into cold off mixture (A). Cover with cling wrap, let it sit for at least 6 hours.

2. Laid a layer of cloth or baking sheet on steamer tray/baking mould. Steam for 15-25 minutes, depends on the size of the mould. Bigger mould, lesser time coz thinner layer. J

This is how the mixture of water, rice flour & sugar look like before heating it up.

Marine Nail Art

My latest nail art creation!! :)

 After applying base colour, let it dry completely. Then start drawing with white acrylic. I prefer to let it dry before drawing with other colours. My practice is to sketch the design first then only start looking for suitable nail polish and matching colours. hehe.... as you can see my nail art turned out slightly different from my original design.

Clay Testing

I always wanted to try making some miniatures with clay. Miniatures are soooooo cute. Clay is like playing with play dough so fun…. ;)

But after some research only I realized, there are so many different kind of clay in the market. I was once confused and thought that Fimo clay is a type of clay. In fact, Fimo clay is just a brand of polymer clay. The most frustrating part is very hard to find polymer clay in Malaysia. I start with paper clay but the colour changed after dried up. It became whitish as shown below… yucks… (>.<)

At first, i planned to use food colouring to colour my paper clay. But turned out my fingers are redder than the clay. 

Texture of Paper Clay... super hard but can add water to make it softer.

Failed terribly... I added too much water. it became extremely sticky... Very hard to work wit.

After calling up a few handicraft supply store in town, I found toy clay. I bought red and brown for testing.  Toy clay air dry whereas polymer clay need to bake.  Hence, toy clay will get harder while u are working with it. If you are working with toy clay for longer time must cover it up.

Below are some of my creations. J
