haha it is not about magic as in magicians but the show delivers and promotes ways of saving, using up resources smartly and basically simplifying life everyday. I guess I am quite interested in it and will most likely blog about it in the future.

And this is one of my favourite shows despite it being for kids but I really find it hilarious and easy to understand (mandarin not being one of my strongest points). Although I will not be attempting the actual 'magic' myself for most of it, there is no harm in blogging about it.
Maybe I will do that one day and will show it with visuals. haha! Then towards the end of the show, both the guy and girl will introduce something very interesting that is either a type of toy or something that will prove to be useful anytime. Its so funny because when they promote the object in the beginning, the have a really really long name for it to describe its attributes. The guy can't really say it even though it is written up on the screen ahahaha! Poor him, only learnt chinese during high school so you can't really blame him lol. But it is worth the laughs!
Some of the most notable things in my opinion that they proposed:
- Making your own wrapping paper by printing out whatever cool stuff you have stored up at home; e.g. colourful buttons or glitter stickers or coloured pins
- Using already-made pudding from a container, waffle corn powder and a microwave to make pudding into a cake; yummy!
- Instead of having brain freeze just from frozen juice, boil the juice and add cotton candy, then cool, and freeze it. It becomes very soft and anyone can eat it without sensitive teeth
- Using a plastic bag and straw to add in air to inflate a beach balloon that is not designed for a person to do so
- making exercise equipment out of sponge mat and stretchy rope.
- Memorising and remembering effectively by covering your ears and reciting loudly (it works)
Anyway, here is one that mum and I tried out from the show: a recipe.....
Pork Spiced Buns
This is especially healthy as it doesn't use any oil whatsoever so you can make it at your own leisure. Be warned! It provides a whole lot of mess!
300g Minced Pork
Chives (depending how much you want)
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp All 5 spice powder
2 Tbsp Char Siu sauce
1 Egg
White Bread
Sesame Seeds

2 Tbsp Char Siu sauce
1 Egg
White Bread
Sesame Seeds
Tin Can cutter ;)
Mix everything together in a bowl except for white bread, egg and sesame seeds. Once that is done, put some of the mixture onto a piece of bread; bearing in mind that some space must be made and that the meat should not come into contact with the can (you'll see why). Cover it over with another piece of bread.
Use the tin can cutter and pierce through both pieces of bread. Remove the cutter and you get a round shape. Now, with the remaining space all around the edge, press the edges together. VOILA! Bun!
Spread the scrambled egg yolk over the bread and add sesame seeds. Ready to go into the preheated oven!!
*Bake in the Oven at 180 for about 15 minutes and leave to cool for 5 minutes; fan bake makes it way too crispy (our tip).
*Can make 20+ buns.
We used beef instead of pork and it definitely has a softer less prominent taste than pork when it is baked. We made 12 "buns" supposedly. If you want to use pork, cut the spices down to half. Also, I just cut out the bread crusts so that we do not waste any bread that the tin can cutter can waste. Made a whole lot of mess!! I may not have the patience to do it again haha.
