小姐,真的不blog了吗?

最近,网路空间还蛮平静的.
Blog的人还真寥寥无几, 好无聊o!

Today, I made a special dish for my dinner -- fried squid!
A simple yet yummy one :)
First, clean up the squids (they smell bad....), and cut them into ring O O O
Then, add some corn flour to absorb excessive water ~~~
Lastly, some salt and pepper. Mix well.

Heat ~3 tablespoons of oil. Put in the well dried squids, stir fry them for few minutes and let them cook by themselves for another ~20 minutes. WALA! You got a plate of crispy (outside) and tender (inside) squids :)
Yummy! Yummy! Squids-lover, try it~
p/s: you can also try it on other kinds of meat (i borrowed the recipe from a chicken recipe =)

I remembered reading an article about a boy chasing horizon during my secondary school year.
I found it very meaningful and would like to share it with you guys.. (if you're in the same Chinese tuition class with me, you knew the story)

A boy attempted to reach the horizon, so he asked,"Where is the horizon?"
An old man answered,"It's at the end of paddy field." So, he ran towards it.
By the time he reached the indicated place, he realized it is not the horizon.
The horizon seemed to have move further away.
So, he asked someone, "Where is the horizon?".
A farmer said, "You'll find it after you cross the jungle".
The boy ran and ran.
Finally, he was at the other side of the jungle.
Oh no, the horizon ran away again...
This time it was behind the mountain!
Was the boy going to climb the mountain? Was he able to reach the horizon?

The boy's quest might seemed silly. From the scientific point of view, the earth is round, so no one will ever reach the so called horizon....

But, in the essay, the horizon is actually a metaphor of our dreams and hopes. It is not coming to any end.... Once you attain a dream, you'll definitely hope for something else. I'm not saying that dream makes one greedy. But, a positive dream is indeed a drive for one to live on!

So, dream! Try your best to achieve it!
Don't be sad if you fail because another HORIZON is always waiting for you :)
