I made fried rice for lunch again! But i think my standards are nothing near to that of the one around my estate. I have once made delicious fried rice during f&n lessons and after that one time, all else were a far cry away from that. its a different recipe of course. i'd like to find that old mushroom and nuts recipe but i can't seem to find it anywhere in the net. Can't believe i could actually find a recipe at that point of time when everything was done in a haste but now that i have all the time in the world i can't find it anymore. hmmm..


Anyway, there this thing stuck in my eye ever since i was in the showers just now. Cannot remove it no matter what. Urgh. Maybe i'll go consult dr L . t hahaha.

Every morning, the first decision i have to make when it comes to my mind is whether to go down for my morning run, cos its getting boring. it'd be great to have an eliptical machine in front of the tv. heehaw.

Im craving mee siam!

Ode to laksa

Mar. 16th, 2009 | 09:45 pm

When you feel that something's missin',
Some imbalance deep inside,
And your tongue has got that cravin
you just can't hide.....

You're trying hard to study,
Your exams are 'round the bend
But you just can't satisfy
those hunger pangs.....


You just get in the car,
and no matter how near or far,
searching for, that bowl of Laksa.......

Hae Bee, Oil, Chilli and Ha'am,
Flows down your throat, its so pa'ang
Hits you right there! Yeah Yeah Ye'ah
You've got a Friend....


hahaha.

food relations, to thunder and illnesses

Mar. 13th, 2009 | 03:58 pm

I woke up to thunder and the big gushes of wind at the absence of rain. it was quite strange. I was anticipating the rain for a long time but it has not yet to come.

Im craving the cheese raisin buns at barcook really bad. If only it rained those buns right now. heehaw.

Anyway, i was reading the papers and chanced upon an article about a 13 year old chij gymnast who suffered an unexpected stroke while she was at the gym. she survived the ordeal quite a bit, fortunately. its so unexpected isn't it? anyway, she is among the three to four children in singapore who get strokes every year. it wasn't because she had high blood pressure/cholesterol or lives with a monster diet. she's a gymnast okay?. the common cases of childhood strokes, according to article, occur among those born with a hole in the heart and those whose blood is thicker than normal.
I dont know why im blogging about this. but i think its scary how healthy and normal people are having their brain affected or slowed down or even damaged over stroke. i mean, how can this happen? everyone should not fall sick for a reason...  crazy.

im gonna have my putu piring and cheese raisin bun fix soon. very soon. and i'll have mediocre lontong around my estate for sheer satisfaction before i find somewhere where they have an exceptional one.

Lontong time!

Photobucket
first batch of cheesecupcakes. humongous! haha.

Photobucket
second or third batch this is. significantly smaller. lol
 17 better looking ones for melly.  the uglier cupcakes were left for picnic for the rest of us. haha!

Photobucket

We headed to pasir ris park to celebrate melly's turning 17. it rained but it was nice staying in the shelter.

Photobucket
We played games and the loser had to eat yucky stuff as forfeit. and well this is really yucky. i had it without the veg and it sucked already. haha.

Photobucket
Look at des's face. hahaha.

and then, off we went for good food after the yucky times. lol
Photobucket
i think they used chicken breast meat cos it had no fats at all, unlike usual satay where they sandwich fats in between. But it is good for weight watchers ;D

Photobucket
i love lala. Everyone loved it.

Photobucket
I dont like it cos it was so hard and chewy. Like rubber! And its too spicy for my liking.

Photobucket
Usual but i love it (;

Photobucket
This was the ultimate! Oily but SHIOK. The onion was nicely caramalised and egg was crispily drenched in oil but it was so friendly to the palate!

Photobucket
Chomp chomp does a better job but this was good too. just a little salty.

I'll show you my lunch today!
Photobucket
Yes, i got inspired to make onion omelette but it wasn't like the one we had. I couldn't bring myself to not spare with the oil. Really.

Photobucket
Shallow-fried seafood dumplings.

Oh food is so irresistable. Ling and i hoped we were skinny and rich.  hahaha.

About today

Mar. 12th, 2009 | 04:30 pm

 
Today's did and dones :

This morning, i stayed in bed till it was 1 plus. I slept at 3 plus yesterday morning over a phone call. When i woke up, i brushed up and went downstairs for onions to prepare omelette. Char told me they were spring onions, so i took a little longer to find out cos it turned out they weren't spring onions as spring onions are the long lengthy greenies. lol. I prepared omelette and seafood dumplings with rice for lunch for dad and i. dad was having a sore throat so he didn't have any of those. But he'd have them reheated in the night for dinner.

The bright and sunny weather in the early afternoon has died down quite a bit and now it looks like a suspecting thunderstorm. I'll be meeting ling and lam at 5.30 later on for dinner outside skss and do some pasar malam shopping afterwards (;

Its nice staying at this area here. The air is fresh without a lot of urban pollutants and i love the houses here with light, neutral shades of paint that pleasantly brightens the neighbourhood.

off to meet the girls!

Good morning singapore!

Mar. 9th, 2009 | 08:36 am


its 8.52 right now and i've just put in the second batch of my cheese cupcakes into the oven. i tasted one of them in the first batch and it was nice to my preference BUT it wasn't cheesy cos i doubled all ingredients but forgot to double my cheddar so its a little non-cheesy than it should taste.

hope melly likes it. hohum...

anyway, ive been reading this book ive got from the library days back. its funny and i like how the story goes. its nice to read  fiction sometimes.

okay while the cupcakes are being baked, i'll read my book. there's a third batch and probably a fourth too, since there's so much extra batter. anyway, the first batch was kinda HUGE cos i added too much and it was self-raising flour. so... the second batch were much smaller. hahaha. yay can't wait to feast them with cupcakes at the picnic later ;D

going, coming

Mar. 7th, 2009 | 10:36 pm

Yoga was getting more interesting today. we did similar moves as the week before, but we got to try out more. our instructor is this elderly lady who looks like she's in her 60s. she's probably older cos people who practices yoga always look younger than they really are. anw, she's petite but she could do every move like she's born with it. haha. every move were swiftly done and demonstrated. even the deep breathing looked really convincing. there was this guy in his 30s or 40s whom ling thinks is going bonks with yoga. yep i thought so too. he struggles and shakes uncontrollably when he do certain balancing or plank moves. even for stretching. but he's really serious with yoga okay? haha. he even  consulted instructor on certain yoga-related matters after class. lol.

anyway, ling headed to malaysia in the afternoon to get her thai massage and some bit of shopping. hahaha. hope her body would stand the blow. lol.
oh she's getting me my fish mini crackers thingy tmr. two big packets! yay, healthy snacks for me. she'd probably be back at the night so ling if you see this msg me and tell me if my crackers are successfully back in sgp! (;

met pris and help her with offering my opinions on spectacle frames. she got a red frame after many many different choices. i thought it looked best on her. but she looks better without anything on actually. we headed to cp where she did her free hair checkup which was recommended by me. yea like the promoter said 10/10 people has that problem so basically whoever that did the checkup (unless they previously had a treatment from them before) would be asked to go for a hair treatment. im getting mine alr. but i wanted to cos ive been losing more hair than usual recently. i dont know if its the scalp prob they "diagnosed" me (and everyone else) with or it was my high intake of MSG that caused the problems. perhaps its fluctuating hormones. that'd need a lot of help then. hahaha.

been seeing lotsa kids around recently and they're so cute. how long would those innocence last? better pinch their cheeks when they're adorable before they start bitching like what ppl of our age are doing right now. hahhhh.

cheers for morning run. didnt really know the power of mp3 player till today. it makes me move. haha.

anyway, i went for the groceries in the afternoon and got some stuff back at home. the most sinful of all, potato chips. hope i'd never get a second one back here. nuts just can't be compared to potato chips. nuts are substitute for a snack? no way. anyway i haven't eaten potato chips for a long long time so perhaps its okay? lol...

itunes could be taking a toll on my computer. its taking up to 68 mb of memory. gosh. i am foreseeing the crash of my computer soon. how?

yes i am on quest to find a very good prata in sgp. jalan kayu disappointed me leh. maybe the uncle disliked me for not buying two pratas when he insisted that i did. hmmm.

choy and i caught marley and me today. yes its dog show! but the dog was horrendously bad in behavior. i wonder how it made me tear at all. but probably its bcos i have watched "ten promises to my dog" which touches my heart even more than this, i haven't really felt a lot for this movie. ten promises is really convincing, i promise cos i cried like mad in the cinemas the other time. it was crazy. haha. anyway, i was trying to pretend like i hadn't teared in the end of "marley and me" when it was the saddest part. i didn't want to make a ridicule of myself cos there was this strong woman sitting next to me whom i think hadn't shed a tear. it was funny, cos i saw her pass a tissue to her bf/husband. see, this is why people started battle of the sexes thingy. woman can always be stronger than man. but i do think that man would usually take it better than woman. but about the guy in the cinema's, hohum.... heehaw. oh and choy cried. i was laughing at her secretly. hahhaa.

anw did i tell you that i find ling's mum and dad cute? everytime im leaving her place, her mum would stand by the door and talk to me , and her dad would stand by the windows and say stuff like "walk slowly hor! ;D byebye!". hahaha. its funny imagining it too.
and ling, i can't wait to try the food at "eighteen chef". but i am craving for a good prata kosong with good curry even more!

just about this recent, life started getting boring cos there's no where else left in sgp that interest me anymore. this is srsly bad. and whattttt, a month and 2 more days to go before freshman orientation. its not even the actual orientation. so ling told me "could you imagine there's no freshman orientation? we'd get darn bored. " yes indeed, three more days to being stuffed and sucked up with puny sgp city. urgh. but i still love, singapore, don't wry(;

anyway, a great bunch of us headed to singing days back. it was fun but the price was a little more unexpected, considering we had no finger food but ah well its the price to pay for having fun. worth my penny :D
i walked to ling's place today and we watched incredible tales and some other local shows. and then in the evening i walked home before it got dark. im not feeling that guilty over all the food already (;

anyway, i think carrie underwood is darn power. have you seen her in enchanted ever ever after music video? she's gorgeous. i am so convinced that she topped american idol.

you gotta listen to this!

 
ok i must stop talking about carrie underwood or i will become one of her fans in no time. lol

i always considered locking up posts in blogs to be pointless as blogs are meant to be shared. but now i realize there are things that you wish to talk or rant about but you don't want to share with the whole world, so im locking up posts to friends only.

anyway, i cooked lunch and dinner today! so satisfying to be eating self-cooked meals (;
lunch was xo fried rice (haha ling you see this?) and dinner was noodles with lean pork soup. both are rather healthy dishes. yes, even the fried rice cos the oil i used is in its most minimal amount possible. i used fish luncheon as a substitute for the pork luncheon. the taste loses out to pork but its healthier! the whole dish as a whole was okay. dad said it was rather good (; and dad said my noodles are good too. heeeeehawww ;D so hairpee. must start cooking more soon hahaha.

i wanted to blog about today, but i have no more mood to talk too much about what happened.

anw, im really upset. am i changing? otherwise, why do i feel like some people are getting different and there's no longer this bond in between anymore?
sigh. if its just me, maybe its pre-menstrual symdrome.

whatever it is, i hope things pick up soon. otherwise, every other things are quite fine.


oh and when i left char's place today and walked home, it started pouring halfway through the route. i was like "urgh im going to get soaked real bad this time" and yes i was wet all over. when i finally finished the other half of the route and got safe under the shelter, i was already wet and rainwater dripped down my hair. my long pants i wore for yoga got very wet too, and i got so cold cos there was air con. air con in compass point, aircon in mrt, aircon in lrt. and then i started feeling dizzy. it felt terrible and i was just cursing the sudden rain, getting uncomfortable with my wet belongings, yoga  mat, clothes, hair, body,sports shoes, everything...
it was just then, when i stumbled grumpily into the mrt, this person offered me a packet of tissue.  it felt warmer to have someone to be nice at a time like this.anyway, he insisted that i had the entire packet. maybe the packet hindered him in some ways or something, but i was thankful. cos it LITERALLY felt warmer when you dry yourself a little. ahhhh. maybe this is what life is all about. everything happens in a fare share, bad or good. this reciprocal web of giving and kindness is always there.  yea i was talking about the tissue. big deal. yes big deal to me.

now that i hope it rains, it doesn't. alamak.

how sweet the sound

Feb. 28th, 2009 | 01:12 am
mood: calm calm
music: Amazing grace

ive been watching some american idol clips and realized how much they are better than sgp idol. i know its no wonder as they have a bigger population so naturally, they'd have a larger scoop for talents. its a pity that singapore is so tiny. but its good at the same time, cos punggol to boon lay wouldn't take more than two hours. but that's besides the point, lol.
 
anw, what i want to bring up is ;
katherine mcphee is amazing. as well as carrie underwood and kelly clarkson. AMAZING!

i spent the day with choy today, just sitting down and read. its nice but i got a little dizzy after a while. eating is still the best but ah heck, blame it on my bad genes plus past eating habits, i have to restrain from good food. good food give you the mood, but they give you piles and piles of calories as well. like what mr singh from primary sch used to tell our class, to stay healthy or lose weight, you have to sacrifice a bit and refrain from good food. hahaha. there's truth to it in many ways.

we visited pris in her workplace for a couple of times, chatted with her so that she won't feel so bored working there. i did that with ling ytd too. such a kind soul ain't i, pris? reward me okay *hinthint (;

choy and i met her friend who looked like a murderer in the evening. it was funny cos i had never walked with someone who looked so much like a serial killer in my life. hohummm.

AND YOGA STARTS TMR! woohoo. and ling and i will head to bugis after yoga for this campus superstar event which ling told me about.

that's about it. i'll see you tmr then bye!

:D

beat like the wings of the birds that fly

Feb. 26th, 2009 | 10:17 pm

 
i srsly have no understanding. how did everyone do the poly package like they've been doing it since they were born? everyone understood what they needed to do. in a breeze. here i am, looking at the sheets over and over again, still confused what to do next. i am really wondering...

anw, i went for medical checkup with ling and melly today. had my blood pressure and urine checked, took an x ray. i like to read numbers in blood pressure. haha. its fun. hope it doesn't sound like autism to you. anw, i researched on reading blood pressure. its really interesting; the systolic and diastolic numbers and what they mean about the blood pressure. anw, i have healthy blood pressure.;D yay.
we saw some of our ex schmates who'd been there for the checkup as well. everyone's just going to amk. haha

while melly went home, ling and i headed to compass and we hanged around the area, went to popular bookstore to look for my non fiction books and recipes, ate with pris during her break, ate at mac, got tempted to eat more when we saw breadtalk and bengawan solo (but we didnt!) and went grocery shopping. life's a zest, even when you are just doing simple things like these. this reminds me that i have be thankful about everything that'd been given to me , not whining about how boring life can get while waiting for hols to end. thanks life!

i'd probably be going to chevy's place with the rest of them tmr for gym, swimming, and probably tennis too. i'll  not be swimming cos im lazy to pack and bathe, and i dont want to expose my dry locks of hair to chlorine and sun to damage it even more.  i'd probably spend longer in the gym while i wait for them. it will most likely be a long wait. okay must bring cammy to take unglam shots of their swim tmr hee haw...

till tmr when i upload some unglam shots! :D

im really excited to start sch, to go for orientation, to see who my new friends are, and to quickly end holidays cos i can't really think of anything to do anymore. im recently always spending on food, movies, singing, shopping, cooking and baking. cannot tahan anymore.i mean, how can anyone keep spending and spending and spending without earning everything back quick enough? urgh.

and our outings don't really include dj these days all because of jc. miss him! hope to meet him soon and pass him his cookies. they will probably taste funny by then cos i dont add preservatives. but im sure he will eat it cos if he doesn't..... heehaw

dr lesl t's blog always makes my mouth water... but who can resist reading it? just like food shows on tv. they make you salivate a lot but your eyes just got glued onto the tv inevitably. anw, its my fav reading ground and i love digging his archives for good food. a lot a lot of them. go read it if you are interested in food, but don't if you are hungry now, you will srsly regret! he hee.

anw, i think i should start reading books again... they really make time pass easier.

today i caught benjamin button show with char, chevy, huimin, melly and junda. the movie was good! you must catch it. let me tell you about the story. basically, its about this benjamin guy who was born old. he went through all different kind of things and finally met this girl of his dreams. and when they were just having a great time, he started to grow YOUNGER and the woman started growing old which is a natural process for her. how did the story end? check it out yourself! anw, huimin said the movie lasted towards 2.5 hours. but the movie was always entertaining so you'd never feel like its a long one!

Photobucket


Photobucket
cookie for char lammm(;


Photobucket
chevy, my deskpartner whom i haven't seen for a long long time!


Photobucket
junda(;

Photobucket

melly wasn't cooperative in taking pics with me while huimin's pics are all in my phone so there're no pics of them. post it some other day!


anyway, on the way home at the mrt in punggol, i looked out and realized it was sunny, but i realized it was raining, so i wonder if there was a rainbow. i looked out at the other side and THERE IT IS! GORGEOUS! i haven't seen a big rainbow like this for many donkey years. thank god i brought my cam along. however, this picture doesn't even showcase 2/3 of the breathtaking view. that is why i need dslr cam :D
Photobucket


Photobucket
see how big it is, its stretched to the other side of punggol lah! absolutely stunning!

i got this fear of growing old after watching benjamin button movie, so i decided to take more pictures of myself before i really do hahaha.

mood: angry angry

Im all cooped up at home today bcos dad got crazy again. My friends know why. I hope mum decides to come home more often so i won't have to face him and all of his madness and shouting alone. URGH. IM SO ANGRY.

On a lighter note, i baked some cookies for my friends, each of the cookies individually designed just for them! choy came over too. I was supposed to be baking m&m cookies initially, but i forgot about buying m&m cookies when i was doing my groceries so it ended up as plain cookies. It won't satisfy everyone up to their expectations of a good cookie, i think. maybe bcos there weren't m&m in them. );

Ling and char went for campus viewing at mediacorp yesterday! But they were seated in seats that were not shown on tv so it was a pity haha.

ok im really hungry now but i dont want to go out of my room to get food cos dad's out there. He might start scolding and nagging all over again when he gets reminded. NEHNEH.

i know its very ugly. im so bad at this but i will improve! (;
