Some simple demos for making rice dumpling by my mum
Zongzi (also known as rice dumpling) is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival (Mandarin: Duanwu ; Cantonese: Tuen Ng) which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese Calendar.
Use dumpling leaves to form a hollow
Spread a layer of glutinous rice over dumpling leaves
Put in pork/chicken (preferably pork for better taste)
Put in chestnuts
Spread another layer of glutinous rice to cover the filling
Press hard on glutinous rice
Cover the dumpling with one dumpling leave
Fold the leaves to form dumpling shape
Wrap the two ends with straw to secure

Tips for a Cheap & Safe Home Pedicure

Warm weather is here and little piggies everywhere and revealing themselves for the first time in months! As women bravely strap on their gladiator sandals and opened toed heels for the first few times, they may be taking a look at their feet and saying, maybe I should have splurged for that pedicure after all!
With the economy struggling and more women forgoing their weekly manis and pedis, at-home spa treatments are quickly gaining popularity. What was once thought of as a teenage bonding experience is now a necessity for professional women everywhere who want to keep their feet looking attractive all summer long.
At-home pedicures are a great option not only for women who want to save on money, but also people who want to avoid potentially dangerous conditions at their local spa.
Tips for a Healthy Home Spa Experience:
- Bacteria can flourish in dark, wet places, such as a bathroom medicine cabinet. Be sure to sanitize your nail clippers by soaking them in boiling water and wiping them down with rubbing alcohol every few weeks
- Say NO to self-surgery! Anything that hurts, such as removing deep-set ingrown toenails, will cause more damage than good. If you have a painful nail, see a doctor right away
Check expiration dates for beauty products like scrubs, lotions, or soaks. Open containers that sit around for a long time unused can collect bacteria and easily infect cuts in your feet – including blisters - Use simple Epsom salt and warm water to relieve and revive tired feet. It often has similar properties as fancy spa soaks but can cost several dollars less at a drug store
- Give your toes time to breath. Nails are their healthiest when they are exposed to air and water. When changing nail polish colors, check nails to make sure they are not discolored – this is a classic sign of toenail fungus and can go unnoticed if nails are always painted

Please don't be upset.. I will be there for you forever!

Many people find it uncomfortable to be around people who are upset, whether that person is grieving for a loved one, or going through a breakdown due to overwhelming pressures. To me, I will try my best to give them support and encouragement as much as I can. Especially the one that I loved!
Someone very closed to me, confessed to me that how sad he is when the opportunities given to him just gone for nothing! Everyone knows this job opportunity is extremely important to him. I totally understand how he feels. I had the same experience as him before. It is normal for a human being to be upset when this kind of circumstances happened in our life.
One thing’s for sure, whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, wherever you will go, as long as you walk this earth hard times will come and hard times will go. For some of us, it feels as through the hardship never lets up. And yet, if we offer love to others and do it in such a way that they can feel secure in our presence, we might just heal together. I always believe that nothing is impossible in this world, as long as we work hard, keep on trying and never give up in life, dreams might come true.

True Love
True Love! Can anyone really tell me what is it all about? Have you wondered where this word came from? Definition of love by Wikipedia, Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states and attitudes, ranging from genetic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction.
Some look at it biblically while others thinks of it emotionally. I personally view it both biblically and emotionally. This four letter word has been widely used and mostly abused by many people. I hate the way the word has been misused and carelessly abused by different meanings. There are different types of love, agape, parental and the love that joins discrete definition of opposite sex as they start sharing their lives together. There is no discrete definition of the word true love. Definition of the word depends on individual’s point of view. It is subject to debate and I would say it is a strong feeling or illusion that starts in the mind and develop slowly in ones inner being.
The word true love has been misused in many ways. Whether it is love at first sight, temporary or long term. I think most of the people are looking for true love. When a man claims to fall in love with a lady at first sight and claims he feels attracted to her, is this love surely? To me this is just a lust at first sight. True love is no longer there and the urge that drive people towards each other is not love but lust. Men are not attracted to women for love but for sexual satisfaction. Love is in most cases misinterpreted and many wonder if does exist. I always wonder, will my man still love me like before if I am old and not attractive anymore. Many of my friends believe that love between a man and a woman is imaginary, there is nothing like love but only the power of the loin and outlook that attracts.
Misuses of the power of love has become more of a tradition and is a reality. It is passed from generation to generation and who are to break this tradition? I believe in the power of love and not lust but in practice love is not elusive. True love is developed from within and it is molded and nurtured by our feelings. Love is a precious gift from God and it should be watered well and taken care of or else it withers and dies off. You might be wondering who came up with this word love? I wonder too but who knows where it came from? It is our obligation to take care of this aspect of love and to handle it with care. Love is life, it wins all and makes someone feel special. Appreciate each other and never expect the return. Just learn to love and it will multiply joy and add spice to your life, it is thoughtful and gives a reason to live, smile and be ever happy!
