Life - More Than Meets The Eye

All my readers in Life – More Than Meets The Eye should have known that I like ocean/sea very much. And I had just spent this year vacation in Phuket, Thailand. During my 6-day 5-night stay in Phuket, I had seafood for my lunches and dinners. Sea fish, shrimp, oyster, crab, you name it. I like to eat seafood as much as I like ocean/sea!

Now I have been back from Thailand for 1 month. I am thinking of preparing some seafood meal for the family! I googled up and found this great site – the 2008 Great American Seafood Cook Off. The site has all the seafood recipes that I am looking forward to try myself! There is currently a competition going on. One gets to vote your favorite recipe out of the top 5 recipes listed.

Of all the 5 recipes, I go for the Texas gulf shrimp. I just love shrimp! This recipe is prepared by Chef Mark Holley from Texas. Let me share with you the recipe! First, 16 jumbo shrimps are peeled and deveined. Sear the shrimps in oil and deglaze with tequila. Add salt and black pepper to taste. To prepare Heirloom tomato sauce, mix well in a bowl tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro and jacama. Then, add lime juice and season to taste. To read the detailed recipe, you can visit greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com. The recipe uses local seafood and is fresher!

Ever since coming back from Phuket, I have been lazing around, eating, playing, sleeping and eating again. I have not been on my regular work out for 1 month now. Guess I have not withdrawn myself fully from my wonderful vacation in Phuket!

Just now, I managed to persuade myself to a 30-minute workout. Good 30 minutes indeed! After getting myself to sweat, I feel extremely refreshing, and here I am blogging straight away, haha! How long you have not been exercising? Just grab a pair of dumbbell and trust me, you will feel refresh after just 30 minutes!

China’s Lin Dan proved too strong for Malaysian Lee Chong Wei in the Olympic badminton men’s singles finals ended just now at Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium. Chong Wei was beaten 12-21, 8-21 in just 39 minutes. Is Lin Dan really too strong for Chong Wei? Or is it because of Chinese massive home advantage that counts? This is certainly not the ‘match of the tournament’ that everybody has anticipated.

Looks like Malaysia’s 52-year wait for the first Olympic gold medal has to be prolonged once again. Nonetheless, a silver medal this time already surpasses the achievement of the past 2 Olympics. We are still proud of you, Chong Wei!

How do you flirt? Are you a better flirts than all others around you? You can now test your flirting skills with Extreme Style by VO5 Ultimate Flirting Championship.

Being flirty can be fun. Usually a simple look you give others might have already sparked their interest. All of us are being flirty from time to time; it is just that sometimes we do not realize we are doing it. If you want to know the flirty look you give to others, just flirt in front of the camera. And I just did that!

Shhh… Is this me?

I always believe that a daring look from a man is the best at getting attention from others. You think so? What is the more daring look you can produce than me grabbing the tails of 2 scorpions and opening my mouth as if I want to swallow them alive! Cool, isn’t it?

Besides giving a flirty look, other forms of non verbal flirting that I often use is to look straight into people eyes when talking to him/her. Alright, it is still a look, but it is not a flirty one. Looking into eyes while having conversation makes others feel that you are confident, trustworthy and paying attention.

Lee Chong Wei stormed into the finals of Beijing Olympic Badminton Men’s Singles less than an hour ago. He had defeated South Korean, Li Hyunil 21-18, 13-21, and 21-13 in 62 minutes. Well done, Chong Wei! One more matches to go! Let’s bring home Malaysia first ever Olympic gold medal!

Chong Wei will either meet Lin Dan or Chen Jin in the finals, both from host China.

Lee Chong Wei - Malaysia’s only hope of Olympic gold medal in Beijing

Malaysia’s virtually last hope of Olympic medal was kept alive by Lee Chong Wei as he had defeated Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro in straight set 21-9, 21-11 in the Badminton Men’s Singles Quarterfinal.

However, a medal is still far from secured. Chong Wei will face either Chinese Bao Chunlai or Korean Lee Hyunil in the semifinal match tomorrow night. Is there going to be a first ever Olympic gold medal for Malaysia? Let’s wait and see.
