過去嘅一個月內, 大家所睇嘅係我模仿十位不同讀者風格嘅致敬博文, 不知大家喜歡嗎?? 今日就以呢一篇文為呢個致敬系列作一個完結, 唔好意思, 讓大家失望喇, 不過我終於可以做返自己(以及用更多互動元素嚟轟炸大家), 哈哈!! 喺大家未參與讀者調查同投選最愛嘅致敬博文之前, 或者可以睇一睇關於呢個致敬系列嘅一些問答.. 祝大家有個開心嘅週末, 同時祝我所有回教徒朋友守齋月快樂!! :) ■ 點解係呢十位博客而我或佢又冇份?? 雖然本人係要向各位讀者致敬, 但係能力有限, 所以就由留言排行榜揀出呢十位讀者.. 累積一月份至五月份所有得分, 佢哋都係排喺前十位(次序不分先後).. 如果你今次冇份, 又如果讀者們安歌呢個致敬系列嘅話, 可能下一個就係你!! :D ■ 點解你冇好似個博客咁又呢樣又嗰樣嘅?? 我知大家都好興致勃勃提供意見, 不過我由始至終個意願都只係模仿博客寫作風格, 而唔係要變成佢哋本人或過佢哋嘅生活.. 始終呢個都係我自己個blog, 我係唔係都應該忠於自己, 寫返自己做過啲咩咁呢?? :D ■ 啲相係你自己影嘅定係攞人哋㗎?? 好簡單.. 如果你見相片上有我自己個標誌同網址, 就表示啲相係我自己影嘅.. 如果唔係我自己啲相, 我會著明相片出處.. 呢度唔興抄襲㗎噃!! :p ■ 你為咗寫呢篇文而專登去嗰個地方做呢件事?? 要視個題材而論喇.. 有啲真係專登做嘅, 而有啲其實係以前(甚至未有致敬構思之前) 所做嘅, 總之我寫得出就表示係我曾經做過嘅嘢啦.. 不過我唔覺得呢過程題有幾重要, 我注重嘅係篇文最後出嚟嘅效果啫.. :p ■ 你啲相唔夠個博客啲相大張喎?? 因為我個空間有限, 冇佢哋咁大位嘛.. 字樣同顏色我都跟足, 而相片我係跟大小與空間嘅比例(呢個就係重點!!), 而唔係跟足原有尺寸囉.. 更何況我儘量避免啲相整得太大, 因為會搞到loading很慢.. :)

so, you have been reading tribute posts where i mimicked the styles of ten different readers for the past one month, do you like them?? and i am wrapping up the tribute series with this post today, ooopss, sorry to disappoint you for ending the series, but i am back to myself (and bombard you with more interactive elements) finally, haha!! before you take on the survey and vote for your favorite tribute posts, you may also want to read the Q&A in relation to this series.. wishing everyone a great weekend ahead, and to all muslims friends, Ramadan Mubarak.. :) ■ Why these ten bloggers and not me, him or her?? though i meant to pay tribute to more readers, i have limited capacity to do so.. hence i picked just ten readers from the comment chart, they are the top ten (in no particular order) based on scores accumulated from january to may.. if you are not in this list, and if readers request for an encore of this tribute series, the next one could be you!! :D ■ Why you did not this and did not that like the blogger?? i know everyone is excited about giving ideas.. but my whole intention was just to mimick the writing style of that blogger and not to be the person or live his or her life.. i mimicked but still this is my blog, so i have to be originally myself, telling my own story of what i did.. agree?? :D ■ Are those your photos or you took from that blogger?? very simple.. if you see my logo and/or blog URL on the photo, it means i took the shots and own them.. else, i will always put a note to credit the source from which i took the photo.. no plagiarism here lah, okay?? :p ■ Did you go there or do that purposely for this post?? it depends on the topic.. some were done on purpose and some were past activities done even before the tribute idea kicks in, all in all what i've posted about were what i did and experienced before.. anyway, i don't think this is important, i only concern about the effect of the mimic in the end :p ■ Your photos are not big enough like that blogger's photos. that's because my post space is smaller than theirs.. i followed their fonts and color theme, i also followed the ratio (keyword here!!) of photo size against post space instead of the actual size.. also, i avoid big photos for faster loading :)

■ 您希望看見向讀者致敬系列的續集嗎??
■ Do you wish to see Part 2 of this Tribute Series?

急不及待.. Wow, I can't wait to see more!!

可以再來.. Well, why not??

沒有所謂.. Hmmm, okay...

就此作罷.. Hey, don't do that please!!

[Volume 9 Issue 6, #1911] 向博客致敬系列(11) ■ Tribute to Bloggers Series (11)

Fing-Fing Boy: 54 Months Old Fing-Fing will turn 5 in half a year, how time flies!! I really miss the newborn him *emo mode on* Anyway, I shall do a quick update on his progress before he turns 5! 1. He always likes to kacau me in front of the laptop. Sometimes when I am blogging using my laptop, he will sneak in and appear right in front of me blocking the screen (making that 'i-want-you-to-kiss-me' look)! 转眼间Fing-Fing就快要五岁咯！虽然很开心看着他一天比一天大，不过心里却很希望他永远是新生儿，乖乖的，呵呵~（当爸爸就是那么矛盾吼？） 他时常喜欢来捣蛋，每次我在电脑前上网，他会偷偷出现在我面前挡着萤幕(摆出一幅要人亲亲他的样子)。 2. Sometimes he likes to 'kacau' people but sometimes he prefers his own personal time. Whenever he successfully requested for has his favorite Ribena drink, he will just sit there to enjoy, and mimics how his Ah Gung likes to sit - crossing legs and hands behind his head ;) 虽然他有时喜欢捣蛋，不过有时又可以自己一个人不用人家管。 好像当他成功要求到有一杯他最爱的Ribena的时候，他就会静静坐在一边享受，还会学他公公一样翘脚和把手枕在头后面~ 3. But this budak can be sweet sometimes. Though he will not share his Ribena with anyone, he will go and take some flowers and give it to me (especially when I told him I am angry). Really cannot feel angry with him anymore! xD 这小瓜有时真的蛮会收买人心的。 虽然他不会和别人分享他的Ribena，不过他会跑去拿两束花来送给我(尤其当我告诉他我生气的时候)。 真的是生气不下他了啦！ xD 4. And he still likes to play hide-and-seek with me. Previously, he always hide behind the cupboard but I am always able to find him. Now, he turns to hide himself behind this Doraemon fan and thinks that I cannot see him =_=' 还是那么喜欢和我玩捉迷藏。 以前每次都躲在衣橱后面，而我就每次都不用找就能够找得到他。 现在呢，竟然转移阵地，喜欢躲在这个小叮当扇子后面，还以为我是真的看不见他 =_=' 5. Since I bought him his Julius, Fing-Fing always like to hug Julius to go to sleep. Even when we went to Japan last year, he insisted to bring Julius along and hugs him every night. Actually I find Julius quite ugly, oh well, as long as he likes it =_=' 自从买了这只Julius给他之后呵, 他每次都会把他抱着睡觉的。 我们去年去日本的时候，他甚至坚持要把Juliu也带去，每晚都要抱着他。 其实我觉得Julius也蛮丑的喇，算了吧，反正他自己喜欢就好了啦 =_=' 6. Fing-Fing always like to fart loudly which is so like me. And this naughty boy even moves his butt facing Mario and then fart on his face! Argggg...so disgusting! Of course I did warn him not to do that anymore, but he just won't listen :( But boys will be boys right? Fing-Fing和我一样喜欢大声放屁。 这小瓜可以皮到把屁股对着Mario，然后就当脸给他放一个臭屁股！ 我的天呀！ 这也太惡心了吧？ 我当然有警告过他不可以这么没有礼貌，只是他都不听 :( 不过说到底， 男孩就是男孩嘛。。 7. His latest activity now is to play on the sofa and make himself upside down =_=' Must be watching too much yoga exercise program with me together and want to learn to do that also. Daddy is so worried whenever seeing this little boy do so, what if he hurts himself? Now, I have to make a deal with him to stop doing that, else he cannot have his Ribena for that day. Well, sometimes the trick works but sometimes it doesn't. 最近爱上了在沙发上面玩，而且还是要把自己倒挂着呢！ 可能是和爸爸一齐看瑜伽节目多了，所以也忙着学人做这些动作。 爸爸看了是很担心啦，如果弄上自己就大件事嘛。 现在我跟他说好好，不可一这样玩的，要不然那天就没有他最爱的Ribena喝咯！ 有时骗到他，有时却不能~ 8. Really miss this boy when he was still a baby. I used to wrapped him all up in a piece of white towel (so that he was warm enough) and that was how cute he looked :) But of course it's a bliss to see him growing up and getting more naughty everyday. Daddy just want to say how much I love this boy, and how lucky to have him in my life :) 真的很想念他还是婴孩的时候﹐我会用一条白色的毛巾把他包得紧紧的(担心他着凉)，这就是他那可爱的模样 :) 不过当然看着他一天一天地长大和越来越皮，还是很安慰喇！ 我只想说，我很爱这小瓜，也很感谢生命中有他的出现 :)

UNESCO World Heritage Site: Casa Batlló @ Barcelona, Spain | 聯合國教科文組織世界遺產﹕西班牙巴塞隆納的巴特洛公寓 April 13, 2009, Monday After so long from my trip in Europe, but never show the places that I have went in details!!! Since looking some old photos, so I decided to write more details about this place I have went in Barcelona!!! ******************************************************* 回想多年前的欧洲之旅，其实并没有好好地为每一个去过的地方写一片比较完整(或者应该说详细)的博文，刚看回当时旅行的照片， 所以决定为这一个在巴塞隆纳的地方写一片详细的游记！！！ I have want to visit this Casa Batlló of Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece and UNESCO Heritage very much but friend not interested!!! So, on last day in Barcelona, friend and I have agree to go around separate but meet up at night later for dinner!!! ******************************************************* 我很想到西班牙建筑大师安东尼．高迪(Antoni Gaudí)这一座联合国世界遗迹的杰作「巴特洛公寓」里面看看，可惜同行的朋友却不感兴趣！！！于是在巴塞隆纳的最后一天，我们决定分开逛，依自己喜好和时间到自己想要去的地方！！！其实巴塞隆纳这地方实在有太多东西可以看，因为时间不足所以才有这个打算，也好吧，各取所需嘛！！！我们最后才汇合一齐吃晚饭！！！ Have to pay entrance fee for €21 per person!!! This is quite expensive but I have saw many people going in, but because early I don't have to queue up very long!!! Once go in, can see the stained glass window and the special arc architecture!!! I think very nice and keep taking photos at the entrance!!! ********************************************************* 入场费是蛮贵的21欧元，不过还是看见很多人前往参观！！！不过幸好一早就去到，所以也不用排很长的队就可以进去了，一进到里面就看到这些彩色玻璃窗和独特的弧形建筑设计,觉得非常漂亮，所以在门口就已经开始不停的谋杀相机记忆卡！！！ After entrance is going up to first floor, can walk up either by the stair case or by an antique elevator, but because many people waiting the elevator so I walk up the stair case!!! Along the stair case, can see all the mosaic on the wall are all in the theme of blue color, give a big contrast with the gray color exterior of the building!!! ******************************************************* 门口过后就是直接上去二楼了，可以选择走楼梯或者乘搭那一部古董升降机，不过当时很多人都等着乘搭升降机，所以我选择走楼梯为佳！！！一路走上去，可以清楚看到墙壁上的瓷砖保存得很完好，而且都是蓝色调的，和建筑外貌的土灰色呈现一个很强烈的对比！！！ This is the first floor with many of these kinds of arches designs, and the floor is with mosaic with flower pattern!!! The whole place is white in main color and the lighting make the whole place feels so special!!! It said Gaudi never use straight lines in his design, can see from this to prove it!!! ********************************************************* 二楼有很多类似拱门的设计，地上是有小花图案的瓷砖，正个设计以白色为主，加上灯光，确实是映照出一种难以形容的特别感觉！！！据说高迪大师的设计里都不会用上直线，由这个地方的设计看来，此番说话确实可见一斑！！！ Here is the way to go up to the roof from the first floor with a spiral stair case!!! I love the design and have stand here for so long for all the people go up to the roof, so that I take this photo without any background people!!! ******************************************************* 一楼通去屋顶的旋螺式楼梯,個人非常喜歡這一個角度！！！不過因為要等到所有人上去了之後﹐等了很久才拍到者兩張完全沒有人在背景的照片﹗﹗﹗ Check out this, the roof of Casa Batlló, is one of the most popular features of the entire house due to its famous dragon back design. Gaudí represents an animal’s spine by using tiles of different colors on one side. The roof is decorated with four chimney stacks, that are designed to prevent backdraughts. The roof's arched profile recalls the spine of a dragon with ceramic tiles for scales and were given a metallic sheen to simulate the varying scales of the monster, with the color grading from green on the right side, where the head begins, to deep blue and violet in the center, to red and pink on the left side of the building. ******************************************************* 巴特洛公寓屋顶上的龙背设计，是整座建筑最为人津津乐道的，而屋顶上所见的四个烟囱则是为了防止火患而建。。。高迪以不同颜色的细小砖块堆砌成龙背上的鳞片，右边用的是绿色，中间用的是蓝紫色，而左边用的是粉红和艳红色。。。 Can see Barcelona view from the roof top!!! ******************************************************* 屋顶可以愿望巴塞隆纳市区景色！！！ Come down from the roof go back into the first floor again, can see this section which called as "The Fire Space"!!! It is lighting illusion section show the life of occupants of the house back in last time like hanging to dry the clothes!!! Of course, they also show the picture of Antoni Gaudí too!!! ******************************************************* 由屋顶下来回去二楼是另外一个区域，这区域名为「火的空间」(The Fire Space)，是由当代建筑师英葛·摩利尔(Ingo Maurer)设计的，是一个灯光与视觉的奇幻空间。。。以幻灯呈现当时屋里的人的日常生活，譬如晾衣服，当然也简单而郑重地把高迪的肖像包括在内！！！ Still no chance to try the antique elevator when I have to went down and leave!!! But can take photo from another angle of the stair case and decorations on the wall is also not bad!!! ******************************************************* 下楼离开前，还是没有集会乘搭那部古董升降机！！！不过也可以安慰自己，可以用不同的角度再次拍摄楼梯口和蓝色瓷砖墙壁，也算是挺好的！！！ Official Website: http://www.casabatllo.es/en/ Address: Passeig de Gràcia, 43, 08007 Barcelona, Spain

this post is a tribute dedicated to 小影 @ As An Unrest Life (the post title 煩憂生活 is Unrest Life translated into Chinese).. just my personal opinion that this young lady blogger actually started a little down and emo, but i think she actually turned to be more happy and confident later, after mingling with some of the crazy bloggers here, haha!! but i am sure no matter what, she's a very nice young lady, just look how much heart she has put in to share and to give.. dear Sheta, thank you for your support and comments, and what do you think of this mimic of your style?? hehehe.. :p 這一篇博文係特別獻給小影 @ As An Unrest Life以示致敬的.. 就以我個人的印象嚟講, 呢個年輕女博客, 開頭時總係有點負面及憂鬱嘅, 不過可能同呢度不同嘅喪博客混熟咗, 個人都變得更加開朗同自信.. 不過無論佢係點, 始終都係一個友善的人, 大家見佢點樣落足心機分享或送嘢俾人就知啦.. 致小影, 多謝你一路來的支持同埋留言, 你喜歡呢篇模仿你風格嘅遊記嘛?? 哈哈.. :p

Simple Fried Rice Yesterday I've prepared a simple lunch for Fing-Fing. Yeah, it is the thing I rarely do - sweating in the kitchen! It was not in purpose, but Fing-Fing said he wanted to eat fried rice. So I just cooked for him since it is not something tough. First, I prepared the ingredients needed for the fried rice. Don't worry too much about the ingredients, you can always use others according to your preference. The afternoon, I just cut luncheon meat, red onions, Chinese sausage. Other ingredients: Green peas, sweet corn, cooked rice and eggs. To taste: Salt, pepper, and a little bit of soy sauce for colour (can add more for better taste and colour). I do not know how to fried the rice together with eggs, so I beaten up the egg and fried them omelete style first. Cut them into smaller pieces for the fried rice and then take out them out of the wok for later use. Next, I stir fried the luncheon meat and Chinese sausage. I suggest not to put oil because after you stir fried the meat, there will be oil coming out. We do not want too oily, right? I also put in the red onions to give more aroma to the fried rice. When the meats are done, add in the rice and all other ingredients. Stir everything well and then add in salt, pepper and a little bit of soy sauce to taste. As you can see from the photo, there were lumps in my rice because I just cooked the rice and it was still moisture. When done, I served my fried rice on plate and garnished with broccoli, browned shallots and some dry sambal belacan powder. Lets we have a closer look over my fried rice below. Itadakimasu! Fing-Fing enjoyed it very much. Hehehe..... P/S: My verdict, the fried rice tasted good but the rice grains were not all separated. It would give better result if you use overnight rice, or at least set to "cool down" before frying.

this post is a tribute dedicated to Angeline BK @ Angeline's Side の Story (the post title 安琪故事 is Angie's Story translated into Chinese).. so this Taiping Baking Queen needs no more introduction right?? she often never fail to show us awesomely delicious cakes she baked and food she cooked, and she can also do very nice artwork.. have not met her in person, but from her posts we all know she is one kind and friendly person.. dear Anzerin, thank you for your long-term support and comments, hope you like this (not so successful) mimic of your style though it's actually a challenge for me since you blog mostly about baking and cooking (which are my weakest points), hehehe.. :p

My Version of Spaghetti Carbonara Don't expect anything like restaurant's Spaghetti Carbonara. And don't compare either. It's my style of simple and quick soup-concentrate Carborana ready in 10 minutes! My way, my like, my sukak! It was Sunday. The time was 9pm. FF was jumping up & down and up & down on the sofa. Suddenly he said he was hungry and wanted Spaghetti Carbonara. What? Carbonara? This hour? And what have I got in the fridge? Nothing. I don't have cream. Call me jakun, I don't even use cream in my usual cookings. Starch-up some milk? Not good. How about Spaghetti Bolognese? Nope, too late to thaw minced meat, too lazy to chop garlic and onions and what-nots (and puh-leese, this was just for FF alone, you want me to do all that?). Looked around and I found a can of Campbell's concentrated mushrooms soup. That should work the trick well and I took the simplest way out. I boiled some spaghetti and once soft, I drained the water, added two spoonfuls of the soup concentrate, a bit of milk and mixed well. And to fake it more like Carbonara, I added another slice of cheese (pasta can't go wrong with cheese). Nope, I did not put in extra mushrooms since I have nothing in the fridge and I was lazy to do extras. Remember my style in the kitchen? Those you see in the photo comes from the soup itself. And those parsley? Yes, it was there. Don't ask. I was praying that FF would just shut up and eat up. Surprisingly, he did both and gave thumbs up too! He said "Hmmm, nice!". Was it nice? You bet. Not self praising, but if this brat says nice, means that something is nice.

this post is a tribute dedicated to Princess Ribbon @ Breathe a little...Slow down... (the post title 呼吸放緩 is Breathe and Slow Down translated into Chinese).. so what do we associate this blogger with?? polka dots, ribbons, one pot cooks all and also poo pee fart?? muahaha!! she is surely a crazy blogger, but many may not know her since she has just opened her blog to the public and joined in commenting lately.. dear Louiz, thank you for your support and crazy spams, hope you like this mimic of your style though it's rather tough for me as everything you blog is parenting and cooking (which are my weakest points), so i just "referred to" this post, hehehe.. :p
