Gotta have a fake name

Monday, January 10th, 2005

Last evening when we were chatting. I found that both my roommates have fake names used to request
catelog or to leave fake info when needed.
So I officially announce that my new fake name is Eliza Bening. :D
Since there's no way I can change my "real" (oh, well...official) name to Eliza, (cuz I'm already widely-known-as
Ashley as [...]

New Start

Sunday, January 9th, 2005

New year, a new start.
I was told to do something I'm very reluctant to do.
But after quiet down, talk to a few friends for a period of time.
I learned to accept where I am, and I'm willing to try my best to accomplish the goal that was given to me.
and I'm also starting to [...]

Resistance is futile

Friday, January 7th, 2005

I so wanna resist....
I so wanna run away....
I wanna resist everything that's coming toward me, coming at me...
I don't want you to control my life.
anyone of you.

If I cannot control it, I'd rather give it to God...
(I know that's kinda disrespectful to say...

Taiwan

Friday, January 7th, 2005

Yes, why does the future of Taiwan seem dark and hopeless?
Let's put politics and all that crap aside, and talk about history. (What!?)
(Yeah...me + history!? Hahaha...)
This traced back to one time in Buffalo Bill's class. Jason asked a question about the relationship
between China and Taiwan, so I took the chance to answer him. However, [...]

Taiwan

Friday, January 7th, 2005

I just remember what I thought of the other day, when I was talking a shower....
I wanna go back to Taiwan!
Not just for vacation, but permenantly (not necessarily permenantly either =p)
It seems that the reason I so wanna stay in the States was disappeared, or... I almost forgot the reason why I
eagerly wanted to [...]

Life

Friday, January 7th, 2005

Life is so hard that I almost burst into tears

Arbeit!!!!!!

Friday, January 7th, 2005

Shirley , our engineer vp, came to pay a visit just now, so I didn't finish last post and I've lost
the feeling so nevermind.
What she told me was creepy, but all that I said was "yes...yes..." and noded. I'm such a chickenshit, but
I don't wanna make anybody feel uncomfortable (so I only made myself uncomfortable... [...]

This week flies

Friday, January 7th, 2005

Maybe it's because we had a day off on Mon (Jan 3), and I took a day off (shh...) because of my
still-lasting metralgia, this week seems flying by so quickly. Already it's Friday.

Both of them are not normal, I slept well but my headache didn't go away;
I didn't drink something cold (well, I did, the first day.... just a little bit ahh Q_Q), and [...]

Sweet!!! - 玫瑰園的奶茶譜

Friday, January 7th, 2005

玫瑰園的奶茶譜
1.四匙奶精、一匙奶粉、400cc水煮到滾。(一般的咖啡量匙)
2.加入糖適量再煮到滾。
3.溫壺、溫杯,用上述煮好的奶水當成一般熱水來沖泡茶葉。
4.將茶葉濾掉之後淋上兩圈蜂蜜。
補充:
1. 我覺得照他這樣的比例,泡出來太濃了耶,所以我的比例大概是一般吃飯的碗,三碗半至四碗水,三匙奶精、一匙奶粉。奶粉我用脫脂的。
2. 茶葉的話,則用strength較強的茶,比如Whittard的肯亞茶,或錫蘭UVA,要不然一般的Assam也可以。最喜歡UVA的了,味道真的好棒,不過茶葉比較貴,肯亞茶也不錯而且價格比較便宜一點。
3. 奶精我是用「荷蘭奶精」,裡面的成分是玉米糖漿較多,好像沒看到有標示椰子糖的成分(前陣子不是有網路傳言說奶精中的椰子糖漿不太好嗎?不知道是不是真的?)。我覺得「荷蘭奶精」用起來比「三花」好耶,也比一些加味的奶精來的純粹。
4. 其實可以加一些其他糖漿(果露),如知名的法國果露商MONIN的果露,像橘皮果露就很不錯,可以用來取代蔗糖的使用。有一家茶店就用Dilmah的茶+奶精+MONIN果露,取名為香榭奶茶。還不錯呢。
5. 雖然有很多花樣可變,不過我還是比較喜歡加蔗糖而已,蜂蜜阿、果露阿只是偶而加或是有客人來的時候才用,自己喝的話,還是prefer味道乾淨一點的奶茶。
真的要謝謝那個玫瑰園的小姐,透露出這樣的食譜,雖然看起來也滿簡單的,但是真的不容易呢。以前自己看書或是亂嘗試,都泡不出這麼好喝的奶茶。以前大都是茶沖好後,才加入奶精或鮮奶或奶油球,味道實在是有差。也曾經try過用鮮奶來煮奶茶,可是其實鮮奶不適合煮到沸騰。諸如此類的小小的一些關鍵,靠自己嘗試還真不容易突破.... ^^;能自己煮的好處就是,濃淡自己可以調,而且又經濟實惠,嘻嘻
pete
目前玫瑰園的茶我個人覺得最優的是愛爾蘭奶油茶~~
他拿來做奶茶奶味更重!!
做法是:
用鍋子裝350CC的水和四大匙奶精、一大匙奶粉,加兩圈蜂蜜後煮滾,再倒進裝茶葉的茶漏泡5分鐘就行了!!

Swiss Miss

Friday, January 7th, 2005

I literally drink this while growing up. Not chocolate sensational, but milk chocolate with marshmallow
by Swiss Miss. Mom always buys this, and whenever it is cold or we're in pain, a cup of hot chocolate
can always warm our body and heart.
After I came to the States, I found that there are more than one flavor! [...]

玄米茶

Tuesday, January 4th, 2005

前幾天跟 moni 去大華九九, 看到玄米茶. 我們就買來喝喝看. 沒料到它超極好喝的耶!
綠茶搭著炒米香, 究竟有多香呢? 香到連我在床上睡覺, moni 泡一杯來喝我都聞得到.
清清淡淡的味道卻非常吸引人, 好喝的讓我愛不釋口.
同時買回來的苦瓜茶根本沒法比, 就被打入冷宮了 =p
日本茶介紹
還有中國茶介紹
裡面有個茉莉龍珠, 我超想試試看

乖~

Tuesday, January 4th, 2005

我發現我越來越會裝乖了...
雖然說還是不大會對長輩進對應退, 不過裝乖的段數是越來越高.
有的時候裝到自己都覺得...哇勒我還真假~
不過, 對老人家本來就要有禮貌嘛~ ^_^

what's worng with me?

Tuesday, January 4th, 2005

I was so proud of myself that I rarely do things I'd regret. Pity, maybe, but not regret.
But lately, I sense that I'm actually feeling regret for some things I did or didn't do.
and my temper is getting worse. I become more and more impatient to people around me.
I'm like living backwards.
since [...]
