weird food

my econ lecturer shared with us his own-weird recipe that is 'rambutan with fish fillet'. first time to hear cooking using rambutan?! common are pineapples and mangoes because of their sweet and sour nature but rambutan is sweet. what to make the fish fillet become sweet? but if it is use to make dessert sounds more sensible than fry it! here is the recipe. u can also use lychee or longan as option for rambutan but he said lychee better it is more cruchy while longan will be soft. firstly, fry the fish fillet untill golden brown, take it out. make some gravy and cook with green, red and yellow peppers then, add in the rambutan, stir them together. finally, put it on top of the fish fillet. don't know when i got the chance to 'experimental' it? my lecturer said his children like that dish so much. he also got another self-recipe 'fried n chicken with oranges'. what a cool and weird lecturer........

swimming competition

had my swiming competition on sunday, that's yesterday. reached the counter, put down my id card n went to the toilet to change. there was a lot of ppl so lockers were full, need to put my bag on the bench in the toilet. sir alan has reminded us not to bring valuable things as the lockers will be full. did some stretching with nervous n tense feeling. the event started with breast strokes kick by guys. the competition started by monday class to thursday class. i didn't took part in breast strokes event coz i can't swim that style well so i took free style kick, free style swim n back strokes.

in free style kick n free style swim i got like the fourth or fifth place when it was back strokes event, i am in lane 3 but when i reached the bank, i was in lane 6 oops... must swim bengkok already. maybe my hands n legs were not straight but i got second for my class. feeling glad as my event has done. my hands n legs were feeling jelly kind. had a nice n long shower.

it was annoucing the winners time........ a boy from my swimming class won first place for many events. my tutors sure proud of him. third place got a file, second place got a plastic medal n the first place got a file and a medal. though i not going to win anything but suprisingly, i heard my name was announce second place for back strokes. ifelt on top of the world!!! i though i can't be a swimmer as my body is not fit. i took part just to get experience n had fun. now i believe that all my hard works will be paid off if i put an effort it. became tan and sacrifice my sleeping time to come to swimming class every thursday is a worth.
