Thanksgiving

In the morning, I baked a 8-inch Mango Chiffon Cake and Mango Chiffon Cupcakes. Although they're both mango flavor, different recipes were used. For the 8-inch cake, I added fresh grated mango and mango extract. Well, it's hard to tell the (mango) flavor by just eating the cake. = =" For the cupcakes, I added mango extract instead of vanilla extract. Ummm... I don't know how to describe the special taste. I dislike the taste.

In the afternoon, I went to P's house. Thank you for the yummy lunch. I like the Cambodian BBQ... A layer of sweet & Chili Sauce and coconut soda is added to a flat electric pan. When the mixture of sauce is boiled, we can add foods, such as seafood, meat, and vegetable, to the pan, just like how we eat hot pot... A poor description. Add your creation. Haha... In my view, it's a combination of Korean BBQ and Hot Pot.
P, nice to chat with you =) Hope you and your family enjoy the cupcakes!!

下雨天

雖然不太喜歡下雨天, 但下雨總比下雪好.
每逢下大雨, 路面上到處都是積水.
當車經過積水時, 往往"淺"起水花.
下雨天駕車時, 當然會把所有車窗關上.
雖然明明知道水花不會弄濕自已,
但每次當水花打落玻璃窗時, 我不其然縮起身子來.
差不多每次都會中招.(?!)
每次中招後, 我都會嘲笑自己的愚蠢. 哈哈!!
下雨天都有它的好處, 可以開懷一笑 =)

TV series - 流星の絆


I watched this TV series because of the good reputation from forums and blogs. After watching the first episode, I thought of Liar Game because a part is about swindle and both TV series have the same leading lady (戶田惠梨香).

Election Day

Today was the election day. For me, it was just a day gave me an extra holiday. I didn't pay much attention to this election because of two reasons, no right to vote and no interest. Haha. Don't ask me anything about the election. Probably you know more than me.

Daylight saving time

It was time to reset clocks today. Although I've lived in US for three years, I'm still not sure when to change the time. Haha. Because my laptop and cell phone reset the time automatically, time-reset doesn't trouble me much.

If you want to know more about daylight saving time, here is an article from Yahoo! News. Have a look.
