Spegetti Friday

Spegetti Friday!!

So I cooked Spegetti for a few friends ELLY Style :-)

of course first you boil the spegetti :-)
Than I cooked the chicken (with a little bit of garlic, chillies, ginger and sauce) and than I melted cheese into it (drool) . . .

Once we were done cooking we took our food and went down to the every so cold sea-wall (by the sea)... And enjoyed a nice meal :-)



:-) TADA and these were the Happy Customers of Elly's Cooking... All of them are still alive and well_therefore proving my COOKING is EATABLE =D

Until next Blog |

Tutor Bano

2012, Semester 2, Week 2 | 3rd August - Friday.

I taught my 1st tutorial class at the University of the South Pacific :-)

This semester I will be teaching Psychology PS102 [Human development] on Fridays and I have 2 tutorial groups with more than 20 students in each class.

Both the set of students are very dynamic in nature and seemed to have a great sense of humor (YAY for me!!) I am so looking forward to other sessions with them... :-)

Cheers to a wonderful Opportunity!!

Till next blog. . .

Glycemic index

I was reading a book and came across the Glycemic Index.

You can read more about GI by clicking here
Foods with low GI are broken down by our body in a longer time - that is why when we eat certain foods we do not feel hungry for a long time, whereas if we eat food with a high GI we feel hungry very quickly. That is because our body takes quicker to break it down and HUNGER strikes quicker :)
 
And a chart showing GI for different foods can be found by clicking here

It is very important for us to resort to healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.  

ENJOY :-)

McScreamy's in the car.

ONce upon a time there were two sisters. They would travel to work together. Loriza would drop Elisha (me) off and take the car to work. 
On a beautiful Wednesday Loriza drives the car out to drop us to work and school. I was seated in the front seat of the car. We dropped mum to work and drove off to pick Princess Road. 
As usual we picked up Tanz and Simran, they both set in the back of the car. 
Suva is rather flooded with vehicles so we usually take the back routes to work and school. We were driving by listening to the music when all of a sudden we hear Tanz screaming in the back seat. The newspaper she was holding was being utilized to slap a tiny little lizard that had found its way inside the car. 
Of course we all panicked. Loriza pulled over (not fully pulling over, she was still slightly on the main road). Any way - Tanz, Simran and I got out of the car. Tan still screaming while Simran and I tried to locate the lizard. 
A man was walking by on the other side of the road and he slowed down (Probably wondering why these young ladies are acting weird at this hour). Next thing we know Loriza screams! The lizard was on her seat by now. She jumped from her seat - onto the passenger seat - and out of the CAR!! This all happened in a split second. The sight was LOL - AWESOME - LOL.... By now Simran and I are almost 'rofl' but we are not that mean. So we checked the entire car for the poor falla (the Lizard). Sadly we couldn't find it.  Looking at the time and knowing we all get late we stand around waiting for the Lizard to turn up some where. I took the car keys and asked everyone to get back in the car. Simran took the front passenger seat and we requested McScreamy's to sit in the back. 
On the road again - a few minutes later Tanz starts screaming again saying the Lizard was on Loriza. OMG!!! Not again. Phew. Tanz was joking. But it did get Loriza screaming and almost jumping out of the window. 

So that was the story of one Screamy morning on our way to work and school. 
Oh how I wish I videoed that moment. =)

School ends (letters to the editor)

School ends

WITH a few days remaining why is it, since last week, students are already on holiday?
Don't parents pay fees to the very last day of the school term?
My concern is over the students who come to school from home in the morning and because 'nothing is happening' in school they loiter in town.
I would urge teachers to engage the minds in useful activities, for example quiz, skits, poetry, arts and craft, debates, spelling tests or sports even, but do not let them loiter aimlessly.
As for parents, please encourage your children to engage in activities that will benefit them come the new school year.
To students, relax a little but do not forget the new school year will pose more challenges for you.
Happy holidays to all students. Be mindful of your safety and that of others too.

Stress of Exams

For the entire semester I was busy as a bee. 
Attended every class, completed every assignment on time and religiously kept up with my reading for class. 
A week before exams we had study break and for some odd reason I was in panic mode (mind you PANIC ATTACK is something that was covered in the course).
A few friends and I decided we ought to study together during the exam time and so we did.
I packed a bag and went to stay all night on Campus. It helped a great deal. 
The study room had computers so 'google' helped us with our 'not so certain answers' and the white board gave us the opportunity to scribble diagrams and list notes as part of our revision. THANK HEAVENS for the facility of Post Graduate study Labs.


One night we stayed up till 3.30am and I am so happy I actually learnt a lot that night (makes me want to suggest late night classes for the next semester - in my dreams LOL).\
It is an excellent idea to study at night with trusted friends who will share knowledge and help you understand what went over your head during lecturers. 


Two weeks of exam went well and I spent a few sleepless nights on Campus. Even though we live on a small Island [that people are almost never able to spot/locate] I love our University campus. It is clean, green and Gorgeous!!


Both papers went well. I knew answers to the questions presented therefore feeling very Proud of my hard work.


And now to anticipate exam RESULTS [fingers crossed for great scores]

Heena by ELLY :)

I have always enjoyed making heena patterns. Heena is made from the dried leaf of a Mehndi plant and it is very commonly sold in shops in little tubes (which make it very easy to use while making patterns).


Today I was sitting at home (slightly bored) so I decided to make some designs on my own hand (it is so much more fun to make the designs on some one else's hand).


Here are some photos I took at the end . . .
Pictures taken from SONY SLR Camera thanks to my sister =)

Until another day of boredom or if an event calls for it :) :) :)

xoxo
