Episode 7 and Quotes from Episode 8 of 《小子当家》 (I'm in charge)

In episode 7 of 《小子当家》 (I'm in charge),  Liu Guowei (played by Elvin Ng) together with Wang Xiaohui , went to see the principal and discipline master of Jiemin's (Liu Guo wei's niece) school.  He pleaded with the principal not to expel Jiemin from school, or else she will end up joining secret society and enter the path of no return.

Elvin Ng acted this part very well.  It was done in an amusing way and made us laugh. I also noticed the way he twitch his facial muscle that even Lynn also agreed that he did that expression very well, it was really not easy to do that. Thumbs up for Elvin Ng. :)

In episode 8, Benson Lee said this to Wang Jiahao:
"人啊, 最重要的武器不是拳头,而是头脑" 

which translates as "Our most powerful weapon isn't our fists, is our mind"

How true!

Yoei Egg Boiler - Part 3 (Soft Boiled Eggs)

We tried to use the Yoei Egg Boiler to make soft boiled eggs.


The recipe given was based on 6 eggs stored at 25 °C. To get the eggs 50% cooked, we would need 20 ml of water. To get the eggs 70% cooked, we would need 30 ml of water.

As mentioned in previous posts, all our eggs were stored in the fridge, so we thought we probably needed more water than the recommended amount to make soft boiled eggs. For the first attempt, we put 50 ml of water on the heating plate to cook one egg. This resulted in a hard boiled egg. For the second attempt, we tried using 30 ml of water and the egg still turned out to be hard boiled egg. We have to mention that we did not take out the eggs immediately after the power light on the Yoei Egg Boiler went off.

For the third attempt, we tried 20 ml of water to cook one egg. After about 5 mins, I saw that the light above the button automatically switched off. I did not take it out right away. Perhaps that was why the egg whites turned out hard while the egg yolk was ok, slightly watery. I would think it was about 70% cooked.

Today, I put 15 ml of water on the heating plate to cook 2 eggs. About 4 to 5 minutes later, the light turned off. This was how one of the eggs looked.





This was the texture we wanted. 

We did not take out the eggs right away after the power light went off for all the attempts because we wanted to see how the eggs turned out unattended.

《叫你一声 My Love》 (Call You My Love)


《叫你一声 My Love》 was one of The Little Tigers'(小虎队)earlier songs. The Little Tigers was the first boy band in Taiwan. The members consists of Nicky Wu (吴奇隆), Alex Su(苏有朋)and Julian Chen (陈志朋)。


This is a very lovely song that I have always liked.






歌词:

从前有个传说 
传说里有你有我
我们在阳光海岸生活
从日出尽情的享受每一刻
让世界为了希望在转动

有些梦不做不可 
有些话一定要说
我的心你应该知道很久
有一天又要大声宣布我的骄傲
那时我太在乎你的结果

叫你一声 My Love 
亲爱的是否你也关心着我
能不能 叫你一声 My Love 该不该把眼泪聚成弯弯的小河流
把爱情唱作歌

叫你一声 My Love 
亲爱的是否你在思念着我
能不能 叫你一声 My Love
是不是不相信童话太美好的结果
不敢来找我

This roughly translates as:

There was once a legend
You and I were in the legend
We lived on the Sunshine Coast
Enjoying every moment of the day
Let hope makes the world go round

There are some dreams that we need to have
There are some words that we must say
You should have known how I felt long time ago
I am proud to announce my love for you
That's because I care too much for you

Call you my love
Dear do you care as much for me too
Can I call you my love
Shall I let the tears flow like the river
and sing a love song

Call you my love
Dear are you thinking of me
Can I call you my love
Is it because you do not believe in the happy ending of fairy tale
so you dare not come and look for me
