Way back in June, my parents & I decided to go check out the Doctor Who Exhibition which is currently taking place at the Kelvingrove Museum here in Glasgow. Genuine props, costumes and monster characters from the long running television series are featured as well as over 100 exhibits, including the mysterious Autons, Ood, Costumes from the most recent Christmas specials and the frightening Stone Angel.

When we went there, we were slightly disappointed because we pretty much expected that the exhibition would be in a huge hall. However, the exhibition is in several small rooms with no staff around, it’s more like a mini museum. Saying that, I still had a great time, loved the scary looking monsters and dalek’s

Tickets are £7.50 for adults and the exhibition will run until Monday 4th January 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve done a music post so I thought I’d blog my current favourite tracks which I replay ALOT, so much so that I know the words off by heart

A few weeks ago I got my eyes tested when I went to buy new glasses and they suggested I get this new feature of where they take photographs inside your eyes. For £10, you get your eyeballs tested, checking the optical nerves and other eye bits for any health problems such as diabetes and cancer.

They then ask for your email address as they forward the images to you so you can keep them for your own records and to compare against any future pictures you get taken (every 2 years an eye test is recommended in the UK).

So here are my eye balls, all nice & healthy

I came across the recipe while browsing Hannah’s blog and decided that I MUST make it. Living in Singapore when I was a kid, I’d eat this A LOT, it tastes amazing and a must have make at home kind of food! It’s simple to make & delicious

The original recipe came from the Visit Singapore website but I did some changes to the recipe myself. For the rice, I used garlic puree paste because, as Hannah’s said, I didn’t want garlic bits in people’s mouths lol. I’ve written my version of the recipe with the small changes I made for you to try, or you can see the original one.

Ingredients for Chicken & Rice
1 Whole Chicken
2 Scallions, cut into 1 inch pieces
6 slices fresh peeled Ginger
4 tsp of Garlic Puree Paste
4 cups Uncooked Basmati Rice, washed and drained
1 tsp fine salt

Ingredients for Chilli Sauce
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
4 whole chilies finely chopped (red preferably)
5 cloves garlic, chopped
3 slices of ginger finely chopped
1 tsp fine salt
1/2 cup boiling hot chicken stock (this is taken from the chicken after it’s ready)

Method
Boil a large pot of water. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with scallion, ginger and some garlic puree paste. Add chicken to boiling water, breast side-down. Lower the heat to a simmer just under boiling point and cook, covered until just cooked through, about 40 minutes. Bathe the chicken in an ice water bath till chicken is cold to create a tender, springy texture. Heat garlic in a pan for the rice, stir fry till fragrant. Add uncooked rice, fry for a minute, add salt and enough chicken soup to cover 1/2 inch above the top of the rice. Boil on high heat, lower heat when steam holes form, cover and steam for 30 minutes till rice is cooked. Chop chicken and serve with steaming hot rice and chilli sauce. Dark soya sauce is the ideal accompaniment.

Method for Chilli Sauce
Add all the ingredients into a bowl & mix together, then put them into a blender & blend for a minute until liquid… easy!

Let me know how you get on with making this, you won’t regret it

Ever since I started doing Customized Blog Designs with Jacqui, we’ve been emailed numerous times with requests & because we do them for free, its even better for the clients, plus it boosts our portfolio.

But, now we’re getting more & more and we’re starting to think we should start charging for them, why not make money out of something we love, especially since I’m jobless!

So the question is; how much would you pay for a custom blog design from Jacqui and me?

Would you still want a customized blog design from us if we charged you for it?

Please give us some feedback

On Wednesday, I went to the Flo Rida concert with my brother’s girlfriend. I was a little unsure about who would be supporting him in concert, but hours beforehand thanks to the Twitter god’s, I came across Kobi Onyame who is a Ghanaian Born UK Based rapper and found out he was supporting Flo Rida that night. I googled him and listened to a few tracks he recorded (he’s unsigned at the moment!) and like what I heard.

Anyway, we got to the view around an hour beforehand because we didn’t want to wait in queue’s, sadly when we got there the queue was huge and filled with teenie bopper white girls in neon tutu’s and crap…. I felt like the oldest person there and very under-dressed LOL but thankfully the queue grew & grew with people my age so I didn’t feel so bad in the end… except…. when it started to rain cows & sheep & horses & elephants and I had no umbrella *cries* but a nice little black guy went to buy one for his girlfriend, who then ended up standing under a bus shelter, so he stood in the queue with me putting the umbrella over my head which was nice of him. My brother’s girlfriend then went to buy one along with some drinks & snacks, and as our luck had it, the rain then stopped LOL

So, concert time… opening the nights evenings event was a DJ (can’t remember his name) he played some greats songs (as well as a Michael Jackson tribute *yawn*) to get the crowd pumped before Kobi Onyame took the stage to perform a few tracks, in particular “He Said She Said” which is his latest single, the crowd love him & I’m sure he’ll go places! He’s a really nice guy, I met him after the concert had finished, took some photos with him & he signed his flyer for me (I’m trying to organise an interview with him for my blog to talk more about the life of an up & coming artist)

When Kobi Onyame was done, there was a huge delay from when Flo Rida took to the stage, they could of at least brought the DJ back on stage, instead they played music which wasn’t that loud & everyone just stood there waiting until Flo Rida came on to perform. The crowd went crazy, people were pushing & shoving each other making it very uncomfortable for those at the front. We were at the front center, the best position in the house, so naturally everyone wanted to be where we were. I’m surprised cat fights never took place, one girl fainted in the crowd because it was so hot which then forced the Security to hand out cups of water to everyone at the front to help cool us down.

My brother’s girlfriend was not as lucky, three drunken idiots were jumping & pushing us all over, so much so that she got thrown to the ground in a near stampede all to try at catch a signed sweaty towel from Flo Rida. She was okay other than hurting her back a little, more shocked than anything else and I was so pissed at a group of girls behind us for not trying to help me pull her back up onto her feet. They just stood there staring, bitches! We then moved from our position because the pushing was getting too much for us to handle and we bought some drinks & sat in the seating areas at the side, still in stage view so we didn’t miss anything.

Overall, the concert was really good! I discovered a new artist, saw Flo Rida’s tatoo’s close up, danced my socks off, sweated like a pig, got blisters on my feet & ended the night with a chicken burger

Lot’s of Video’s & More Photos after the jump….
