one week of patience.....bears fruit

well, one week is almost up,and that only means one thing.

my dried agar-agar is done and ready to be eaten!

ta-da! after continuous drying in the sun from monday till today, the outer layer has finally crystalised and hardened and i get slightly greenish-yellowish dried jelly.
hmm....mystery, why does the change of colour occur? it was originally brownish, and now it has become something else.

once you take a bite, it is quite hard to stop. unfortunately, despite the large amount of sugar added, the jelly is still not sweet when eaten dry. so i can't imagine how much sugar is put in those sweet-tasting dry ones.

this won't be the only time i make this jelly. i will make it again when i have one week to spare at home just to do all the sunning and collecting everyday.
the sun this week had been quite intermitten, with only strong ray till mid-noon, but the jelly could still dry. so imagine if the sun had been till late evening everyday, i would have faster progress.

sitting at home for one week made my fingers itchy too and i went online to buy myself two pairs of baju kurung from www.zalora.com
i am not a fan of baju kurung actually but sometimes, when the mood kicks in, i feel like wearing one and now i have 2 more to choose from from my meagre collection of 6 sets.

love the combination of colours in this one.

and i bought this because it is made of linen 100%. quite a crazy decision because when i check it, only i realised how transparent it is. so now i have to send it to the tailor to add another layer of lining before i can wear this set.

actually i have to send both sets to the tailor. the bottom is just right but the tops are quite loose and wide. so i plan to have them narrowed. hopefully it can be done. i don't mind paying extra on top of the price i have already paid for these two kurungs.

no more baju kurung shopping now. till next raya when the mood kicks in again.
