First, Bunny (Jenny) is so funny. She starts with her fangirl self, posting pictures of her JJ Lin and some magicians. I guess it's a good way to start a hyper blog (as you can see later on..). Knowing her well, she's that kind of girly girl who's really afraid of getting "fat thighs". It's no wonder she does her food analysis and tabulation really well. I think she got confused about the analysis part. She did it on her dish instead of her 3-day diet. But since she's knows the main functions of the tools, it's fine. And she has pictures!! And they look so tasty. But she's lacking in her reflection on the process. 3 lines aren't enough my dear! She could have stated in detail what had happened but since she's a Jenny, she probably didn't encounter much in her practical, hence the little reflection. She focused too much on funny stuff. Not that I mind though, they ARE pretty funny. XD

2 words. Oh mybuddha. What is wrong with this kid?! *(Rather, what is NOT wrong with this kid.) She has everything. Like everything. And her thought process is super clear. Well, what can I expect from a Jing Ying. Such a perfectionist. Now I feel bad about my own blog. Terrible. Just terrible. I mean, the tracing is there, the analysis is there, the reflections are all there. Sigh. Perfect. Mrs Abbas, if you haven't read her blog, you don't need to anymore. Just give her all 4s.

Ironic how I didn't get my 'other half' 's blog huh. I couldn't get through to her coz it's quite late. But anyway, Feeqa is another one of my good friend from the second half. Sorry if this caused you any inconvenience but her blog is pretty good too. But since I did this after reading Jing Ying's one, I have some critics. She generally does well for the analysis and research, and also the suggesting the healthy dish part since she gave reasons and there's depth in her thinking. But her reflection of other blogs can be improved in my opinion. She lacks depth in her critic as to how other blogs can be improved upon. She could have suggested on how the blogs can be improved instead of just pointing out what has been done wrongly. The spelling errors don't help her case. XD But overall, great stuff, a bit plain (but I'm not at a position to say it since mine doesn't even include colors) but well done. :)

Own Reflection (Evaluation)
Coming up with the perfect dish was one thing, making it was another. I first had to consult my mom about a healthy dish that I can finish in 1 hour (including preparation and washing up) while making it tasty.
It was stressful while I was cooking (Julia's stares were not helping) and there was a lot on my mind at first. But then slowly, I got used to it and went through the process without much trouble. Except when I added too much water to the soup. Grrr. The whole tamarind flavor almost disappeared. T.T WAHHHHH.
But then with some quick thinking, I managed to add some more amount of tamarind blended with water and salt as well to get the flavor back. The taste was not as great as it should be coz there was too much water but it worked.
It was especially tiring because I still need to keep the time in mind, while thinking about what comes next when I've finished a particular step and of course, that I don't mess up the practical part that comes after as well. Oh and Julia's poking face reminded me of the Peer Evaluation as I think about how to be more organised and clean and so on. It was more of a mind work rather than the hands on part that was difficult.
I gotta say, I can help my mom in the kitchen more now that I'm almost done with the F&N module (I used to not be able to stand raw meat). I also know how to multi-task better and be more organised in my thinking as well as my doings (Otherwise the dish will become watery like.. like my poor dish D: ).
I found the whole process fulfilling and helpful overall. I had fun doing it too. (Especially at the end where there was a feast waiting for me XD)

Healthy Dish [Ideation]
I was thinking about cooking chicken but since it's too mainstream and common, I'll pick a healthier choice: FISH. YAY.
Not just any fish but a SEA BASS. Heard from Mom that it's not as fatty as other kinds of fish out there. I could cook a traditional Burmese (Is it even Burmese? We usually eat these kind of home cooked dish in Myanmar. But I've never seen anyone eat something like this outside of Myanmar.) dish, like the one my aunt used to cook: Spicy sour fish with white rice.
Well, it's just
1) White rice
2) Sea Bass with
3) 3 spoonful of Ngapi (Burmese ingredient, wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngapi) and
4) Tamarind (better and healthier than most artificial flavoring the supermarket sells) blended with water,
5) 2/4 spoonful of seasoning powder (3,4,5 rubbed onto the fish first for flavoring purposes)
6) 1/4 spoonful of salt (coz Ngapi is already quite salty)
7) Chilli and garlic pounded together (Smells so nice *_* )
8) And all cooked together on boiling water.
I could use a glove when I pound the chilli and garlic together. It'll not only save my poor hand from getting hot, but also make the process a clean and healthy one. About the ingredients packaging, I can always pack them in small little bags with the exact amount and throw the bags away when I've used the content inside. It's fast, convenient and tiny. Also, while the 3,4,5 flavoring is done, I can always start washing the plates I've used instead of piling them up til I'm done with the whole cooking process.
It's exciting. XD

Food Info Search Based on the information you have provided, your daily energy requirement is estimated to be 1,894 kcal. This energy requirement is the level of calorie intake from food that will balance the calories your body burns, thus maintaining your weight. For weight loss, you should consume fewer calories and be more active. If you need to gain weight, consume more calories than your body requires. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Nutrition messages based on results Sodium Your sodium intake was greater than the recommended amounts. Sodium acts like a sponge, holding water in our body. Excess sodium increases the blood volume, which then raises the pressure in our blood vessels. Hypertension or high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke and heart attacks. The main source of sodium in our diet comes from salt (sodium chloride) and sauces added during cooking or at the table. To cut down on sodium intake, gradually reduce the use of salt and sauces when preparing or cooking food so that your taste buds have the chance to adjust. Try flavouring foods with natural seasonings like lemon juice or herbs and spices. Choose fresh food over processed foods over processed foods and enjoy the natural taste of foods. When eating out, ask for less sauces or gravy in dishes. Dietary Fibre You were not getting enough dietary fibre in your diet. An adequate intake of dietary fibre can help to promote proper bowel functions, reduce blood cholesterol and control blood glucose levels. Dietary fibre can also help to make you feel full longer. Dietary fibre can only be obtained from plant-based foods. Remember to have your 2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of vegetables everyday. Choose fresh fruit or vegetables rather than the juice, and eat the skin (if edible) of cleaned fruit or vegetables. Replace meat-based dishes with beans, peas or lentils in you diet on alternate days. Try to consume 1 serving of wholegrain products from the rice and alternatives group daily, for example unpolished rice and wholemeal bread. Calcium You were not getting enough calcium in your diet. Without adequate calcium, you may be at risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition where your bones become weak and brittle. If left untreated, osteoporosis can worsen until a fracture (crack or break in the bone) occurs. Increase your calcium intake from a variety of sources. Consume calcium-enriched breads and biscuits, green leafy vegetables, calcium-fortified juices, high-calcium soya bean milk, ikan bilis, sardines (with bones), tofu, as well as milk and other dairy products. Vitamin D helps our body absorb calcium. Your body can make this vitamin after sunlight hits your skin. You can easily obtain enough by getting at least 30-60 minutes of sunlight a day. Aside from eating wisely, remember to make exercise a part of your life. Exercise helps to burn fat, tone your muscles, improve your stamina, relax and sleep better, as well as keep you alert and study better! Exercise at least 20 to 60 minutes, 3 to 5 times a week, until you sweat and breathe deeply without getting breathless. Choose an exercise that you enjoy, and try a variety so that you don’t get bored. Keep your exercise routine simple, fun and interesting.  When shopping for food, look out for products with the Healthier Choice Symbol. These products are lower in total fat, saturated fat, sodium and/or dietary fibre content compared to other products in the same category.Note: The messages provided here are only intended as a guide - see a qualified health professional for more advice and information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
