My Favourite TV Drama Final Episode - The Moon Embraces The Sun

I watched the final episode of “The Moon Embraces The Sun last night” last night. I only watched this drama to see Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Il Woo who are rising celebs in Korea at the moment.


Kim Soo Hyun is so handsome and even in the usual traditional costume he is inevitably noticeable. He is the CUTTIEST KING in the whole Korean TV Drama series. This Drama is a total fiction and is not based on Korean history at all. The plot is almost like a cartoon. It’s fun, not too heavy to watch even if you know nothing about the history and romantic.


Many of Kim Soo Hyun fans will miss the KING~




And my another favorite celeb Jung Il Woo.

Great tip for poaching eggs

Found this at my google plus stream. I am going to try this technique.

Kid’s favourite Cooking Video Clips

I came across by searching cake making long time ago. Recently, I have visited my friend’s house, and her kids and I were playing with my iPhone. They asked me to play Howdini. At first I wasn’t sure what it was but soon I realised that it was the video clip I found at Youtube on cake making. Yes, I was very inspired by the ideas, especially, I know that the look of the cakes they make would surely fascinate kids. But it was very surprising to see kids were actually interested in watching this. They don’t get to actually make such cakes at home but why do they like watching it? For adults, especially mums would watch it since they want to make such cakes. But why do kids like just watching it?

My kids also love being involved in cooking. They are far too young to give me a hand, rather they cause mischief in the kitchen throwing everything everywhere. But I want them to be involved sometimes. It’s very educational for them to learn what is healthy and how can they make healthy food. They show a lot of interest in food when they are actually involved in the making process.



I ask my kids what they want to eat and they choose what vegies they want to put in. Of course, this is not always success because they are cheeky sometimes by saying, “Mum it looks awesome but I am too full to eat it.” But most of the time, they will show more interest towards if they are in the process of making.

For cakes, I am a little cautious since it has too much sugar content. It’s very hard for my kids to absolutely avoid it but at least, they know how to moderately control their temptation. I know some parents are very strict on what to eat and what to avoid. But even I sometimes like a piece of chocolate, some cakes or biscuits. It would be a lie if I tell my children not to eat any of those just because they are bad for their health. How can you all avoid something bad in our busy everyday life? I’d rather teach my kids how to control their temptation and to eat in moderation.

But it’s still very tough to make the young ones understand why eating too much sugar is bad. I try to bake cakes with less sugar content and try to add healthy stuff in them such as blueberries, carrots, rice flour etc. I get ideas from such video clips like Howdini and try to substitue the food colourings or even the icing. I guess it doesn’t take much to impress kids when it comes to baking. In fact, they often get fascinated by the idea of putting the “play-dough” (of course the flour dough I mean. Do not bake kids’ play dough!!!) into an oven and get a loaf of bread.

Here is some video clips of HOWDINI. Get inspired and enjoy baking with kids.

Cooking Apps 1234

Cooking apps are very handy when it comes to find recipes today. 


I have many hard copy cookbooks since I love to look at the pictures of lots of dishes that I can get inspired, especially the pictures give an idea on the presentation of the finished meal. But when I actually try to cook the actual recipe, printing out that page is difficult unless you have a photo copier. I don't have enough space to lay my book in the kitchen and flipping the page through is awkward with wet hand whilst cooking.
It's when cooking app comes handy. Today I would like to review some of the cooking apps that people recommend and I personally use.

WordPress Vs Blogger

Hi, everyone.

I have been experimenting with my blogger blog for the last month or so. But I know a lot of people use wordpress. I was starting to wonder what difference they may have. People say wordpress has many theme templates to choose from and how easy it is to create a website with it.

















Now, I wanted to learn more about wordpress. So, I set up an account at Wordpress.com

As far as the template goes, it appears to me that they have better template designs to choose from. But it is a lot harder for me to lay out the custom designs within the selected template.
For someone like myself, who has too little knowledge on such things, all the menus on the sides are not user friendly. It appears to me that you have to have some basic knowledge otherwise, you will have to go back and forth to read the support articles and go back and try to find out what each menu does.

Whereas blogger menu and template design station is very self explanatory.

Even so, I wonder why many people still use wordpress. I am still stumbling to find out how to better post my stories using wordpress, in fact, I have spent my entire day going through it. What is so special about it? I compare my blogger blog vs wordpress blog to see which one is better.
Well, both need lots of work!!! But can anyone tell me your honest opinion? Which one looks more welcoming and cozy?

See my new wordpess blog here.

For comparison sake, I have posted duplicates temporarily.

K pop Star

I like watching this survival audition program. The boys and girls in this audition have fabulous talent. It's amazing how good they sing despite their young age. The youngest contestant is only 16.
Of the songs they sang in the audition, there are some of my favorite songs and I share them with you. 

Good luck with you guys!!!

My favorite Celeb Bi Dam

  His name is Kim Nam Gil but I remember him as Bi Dam. His character in the drama, Seon Duk Yeo Wang (Original Korean Drama title), The Great Queen Seon Deok. I don't watch Korean Drama as often as before but I still remember his charismatic look.






He was also in this drama bad boy. How come I didn't watch this one?

Google Adsense

To my disappointment, my blog got rejected by Google Adsense. I have decided not to apply again until I know exactly what it is.
I came across many other people struggling to get into Google Adsense. Whatever the reason they got rejected, I am sure advertisers have all the rights to choose their own partners. Well... I give up on Google Adsense for a while then. On my second thought, my blog is way too young anyways...

But this isn't a bad news at all. I still have lots of rooms to grow just like many other bloggers I admire and follow. Until then, bye bye Adsense. Join me in a few years time.

For people who are still looking for tips and advice, try 

It summaries on Google Adsense and other useful tips on affiliate programs. I found it very useful. But for the time being, I've decided to put such information aside and only concentrate on my blog. 
Good luck with you all!!
