Kimchi....
Haha I have nothing to write about myself thereforeI'm writing some info about Kimchi today..
I think some of you might not know what's kimchi therefore,
I searched some Kimchi information from the official site of National Korea Tourism.
That website is infomative. Hm I hope Malaysia will have one someday.
The picture above were Kimchi.
- Origin of Kimchi :Since human beings began cultivating, they have enjoyed vegetables, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. However, the cold winter,when cultivation was practically unavailable, led naturally to the development of a storage method- pickling. As a kind of pickled vegetables, kimchi was born in Korea around the 7th century
- Use of Hot Red Pepper Powder:At the earliest stage, kimchi was just salted vegetable, but during the 12th century they saw the appearance of a new type of kimchi with some spices and seasonings, and in the 18th century, hot red pepper finally became one of the major spices for kimchi. In particular, thanks to the introduction of cabbages in the 19th century, they witnessed the same type of kimchi as we know it today.
- The Origin of the Name, Kimchi:It is suspected that the name kimchi originated from shimchae (salting of vegetable) which went through some phonetic changes: shimchae - dimchae - kimchae - kimchi.
- Modern Kimchi:Kimchi has been scientifically proved to be highly nutritious and recommended as a future food by many nutritionists at home and abroad. So the export of kimchi to foreign countries is rapidly increasing. Korean immigrants to China, Russia, Hawaii and Japan first introduced kimchi abroad, and have continued to eat kimchi as a side dish. It gradually gained popularity even among foreigners. Accordingly, kimchi may be found wherever Koreans live. Especially in America and Japan where relatively many Koreans live, packed kimchi is easily available. In the past, the production and consumption of kimchi was confined to Korean societies, but nowadays it has become a global food.

another day.....
Its just a odinary day today...Its my friend, Sharmane birthday...
Happie birthday gal!
I overnight my grandma's house yesterday, and woke up at 10.30am today...
Have a nice breakfast with my grandma, aunt and cousin michele.....
I had a dumpling (mmm.... but nearly finish the one and only dumpling
my aunt bought for herself, in the end I shared with her)
Then we talked about how my grandma brought all of us up...
At that time I really admire and thankful my grandma,
she took care 2 babies(me and my 11days older cousin) at a time...
I really lurve her... We decided where to have dinner this Saturday,
and guess what we'll going to have Japanese food....
Yay!!!! Can't wait...
I went upstairs to my sleepy cousin to ask wether he
can give me and Ling a lift to tuition....
and he turn down my request (sighs*)..
Me and Ling decide to replace tuition some other day....
Then its about noon, my aunt and grandma cook the lunch for the
3 mini guys (they're known as mini guys coz they're were the 3 youngest
member in our family who never leaves their xp gameboys where ever they goes)
me and my cousins help out...
Its so hot out there till my aunt needs Michele to get an umbrella to
shade her from the sun...
I realise how difficult our grandma's maid,
Amy is had to stand outside there preparing everybody's meal......
After prepaing the meal, me play a little music, and
Masa sing's... His voice were so cute and I recorded his voice down..
He actually figured out we recorded his voice while he's singing..
but we manage to convince him that we're not....
After the mini guys have their lunch,
I had mine with my cousins and aunt Angie too.....
Then we started talking about the hot weather out there,
we hope that there's an ice-cream man pass-by....
After hoping and waiting the man to passby for so long,
Michele went to ask Alfred wether he can fetch us to get ice-cream,
amazingly he said yes.....
Then off we went to the nearest petrol station...
I chosed Wall's Solero Shots..
Then went back to my grandma house and enjoy the ice-cream in the kitchen..
So we finish our ice-cream, and had a glass of Coke...
Really chilled me out...
Then I went upstairs and asked Ling to teach me the taeguk's..
I keep practising but can't get it all right and ended up answering a cloze passage..
In the evening, my grandma asked me and Michele to go to the new house to help out
aunt Angie..
We walked there with the mini guy's as there wanted to ask my aunt's permission
to go to the playground and play...
So me and Michele stood there doing nothing,
then we were asked to get a chair from my grandma's house,
and off we went and back with a chair..
Then Michele water the half dead grasses,
and I check out the mail's in the mailbox..
I was tired and went back to grandma's house and had a nice nap..
I woke up at 7.40pm and go down for dinner..
Then Michele's mum is here to pick us up back home..........
Wow I didn't know that my ordinary day was that long...
Hmmm it's a ordinary day but nice moments to remember!!!!
