人に愛する

前の日に、友達はこのメールが送ってきた。内容ちょっと面白いと思うので、みんなに見せたいと思う。

人に愛する


もし彼女にも愛していないなら、手を放してください。

他の人は彼女を愛するの機会をあげる。

もし彼女があなたをあきらめたら、自分は自分を放してください。

他の人に愛するの機会を自分にあげよう。

時々に好きな物があっても手に入れない、

時々に愛をしても手を離せなきゃ。

いろいろな人生にあっても、他の人に傷つかないで、

縁のない関係は、放せるほうがよい。

放せないと、悪い結果が出るわけだ。

男は泣いたら、本当に愛するわけで、

女は泣いたら、本当にあきらめたわけだ。


**********


もし誠実は彼女に傷つける、私はうそを選ぶ。

もしうそは彼女に傷つける、私は沈黙を選ぶ。

もし沈黙は彼女に傷つける、私は彼女と別れる。

もし愛情をなくす、まだ愛を投げ出せないのか?

もし心が乱れる、まだ相手を放せないのか?

Okayama Int'l Circuit Part 3 - Going through the pits

There is still some time before the briefing and so we decided to take a walk down the pits to see other participants. Most are nicely tuned and customized for racing needs. The unnecessary metals replaced or remove. Window panels replaced with plastics instead, etc... Really a great bunch of enthusiasts.













There are more photos of individual cars actually, but I think that the photos are too much to line them up in the blog. You guys might want to see the photos at my Picasa gallery.

Announcement .... Gonna go to the conference room right now... But I am not even racing at all! THe best of all, I could not understand what they are talking about.

Plum syrup and plum wine receipes

For those that are interested or really liked Plum syrup and Plum wine, here is the recipes which I have found on Youtube.



Just in case that some of you guys are not able to understand what the host is talking about, I will try to simplified it

Let's go on with the ingredients first.

Plum Syrup
-500g Green plum (unriped)
-500g Rock sugar
-50ml Vinegar

Plum Wine
-500g Green plum (unriped)
-250g Rock sugar
-900ml Shochu (35% alcohol by volume)

Name of the show: Cooking with dog (Not cooking the dog)

Preparation of the containers

Wipe the pre-washed and dried air-tight containers (double-lid type preferred) with shochu using damp kitchen paper. Wipe the inner sides of the containers thoroughly. This is a important sanitizing process to allow the Plum wine to age properly. Repeat this procedure to the lid covers as well.

Preparation of the Plum

1. Separate the plum into two bowls, one for the syrup while the other for wine. Soak the plum in plain water for around 2 hours to remove its bitterness.

2. Drained the plum from the water and dried the plums thoroughly using clean cloths and kitchen paper. Try not to damage the plum's skin during the process.

3. Remove the bitter end of the plum using bamboo skewer (tooth pick.

Making of Plum Syrup

1. Add the plum into the container and then the rock sugar in two times. I think it is done as not to cluster the rock sugar together later.

2. Add in vinegar to prevent the plum from fermentation. Close the container with the air-tight lids covers.

3. Shake the container frequently everyday until the rock sugar has dissolved into the vinegar. Let the container be set away for about three weeks so that the plum juiced would then be extracted from the plums.

4. Remove the plums and store the syrup into the refrigerator.

Making of Plum Wine (Umeshu)

1. The first process is the same for making plum syrup. Add in the plums and rock sugar into the container.

2. Add in the shochu to container and make sure that the ingredients are submerged in the wine. Store the wine in dark and cold place. Shake the container occasionally so that the rock sugar and plum would be mixed well.

It take at least 6 months before the Plum wine become drinkable. The longer it is left, the better it would taste.

Rest In Peace Ms. Lo Hwei Yen

During the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, one of our Singaporean, Ms. Lo Hwei Yen has unfortunately encounter with the terrorists and was killed in Mumbai last week.

I would take this chance to make our consolation to her families and friends for this unfortune incident.

Is Singapore cigarettes really that expensive ?

I mean we all know that Singapore government has been raising and raising the prices of cigarettes, but I think trying to smuggle cigarette to Singapore in is much more a stupid act.

This time round it is a Chinese national that tries to smuggle the duty-unpaid cigarettes into Singapore and fined S$ 19,000. Perhaps I would say, he is too ignorant on Singapore's rules on tobacco goods. I would rather purchase from inland than to get caught by the authorities. It is also an unfair deal.

Ah, another 4 more months before I return to Singapore. Still can enjoy the cheaper cigarettes in Osaka. Oh by the way, they tasted better as well, does not give you sore throat after heavy smoking.
