A new lay - out, again...

Well, I couldn't help it. I just came back from my dreary induction course, and was suddenly irritated by the mess in my room. So I switched on the laptop and logged into my Blogger account, going through all my blogs.

I dunno why, but suddenly I felt that this particular blog looked messed up too. So just like that, I Googled "blogger theme" and surf for new templates, especially a 3 - column one. And so my search landed me here at Blogger Templates where there are just so many templates for you too choose. But I like this one, Black Brown Art; it loads pretty fast, the color reminds me of chocolate, it's neat and simple, just my thing.

But the thing with lay - out changing is that you will lose all or most of your widgets, so I had to save my original templates first and the copy - paste of my widgets html / text. Then there was the tweaking of the codes to suit the appearance (especially fonts) to my liking and to insert the meta tags and the Blogger hack for that "Read more...". By the time I finished, I was wondering why on earth was I crazy enough to change my lay - out...

But still, I might change my lay - out again =)

A chick's day (02)

And the day continues...

Hey mommy, I found something on the floor. Is it edible?

I think it is, baby. It's good, in fact.

Really? Oh yeah it is!

Hmm, there's something here... Ooh, my favourite bug!

Oh hey it flies off! Darn...

It flies there...

Then there...

And now gone.
That's too bad, mommy.

Well, mommy's leaving first for other places.
Wha... Ok, last pose, then I'm coming too!

And as for this, was the reason the photoshoot went on smoothly after that. Their all - time favourite snack and my bribe-and-trapping-device.

It's packed dried worms coated with egg and honey.

A chick's day (01)

No hot chick here, just a cute Bantam chick (ayam serama).

This is my chick, the only one that made it out of seven eggs. Too bad, but my hen is a first-time mother who is restless by nature thus ould never sit down very long to brood.

Peek - a - boo!

And like mother, like chick (I don't know how to check for a chick's gender =p). A typical day would be like...

Hey mommy, I'm bored of staying in... (This, after scampering around and making a lot of noise and mess in the cage.)

9 am: after the lazy mistress wakes up, they go for a run and end up within the flower patch.

There's no worm here, how boring...

Then they notice this paparazzi snooping around...

Hey! Hey! No photo allowed! (Yeah, she actually came pecking at my camera.)

Masak - masak Melayu ~ Stir-fry kailan in oyster sauce @ Kailan sos tiram

This is an easy vegetable recipe using oyster sauce, and using a cheap vegetable to boot. I omitted the use of salted fish here since my dad has high blood pressure. Some people like to add chopped beef and dried anchovy.

Masak - masak Melayu ~ Sambal kupang (Mussels in Chili)

I’m a big fan of mussels cooked with chili paste (sambal) but I’m not too fond of spicy things. So if you want the dish to be more spicy, just add more chili to it than the amount described below.
