The World's Most Expensive Thumbtack

Leonard, Ben, Ivan and I were in one of the study rooms in Prince George's just now...our meeting started at 945pm. Yes yes, I know it's a damn weird time to be having a project meeting, but it's really the only time that all of us could meet. What to do...everyone is so busy...

Anyway, we had finished discussing our points, and wanted to write it all out on the whiteboard, but we realised that we did not have a whiteboard marker. So we decided to just pin the points on the corkboard...

For some strange reason, we were all desperately looking for a pin, or thumbtack, and I think I was the one who suggested using an ear stud. So Ben took his out and volunteered it. It was after pinning it up that Ivan mentioned that if we were going to use the cork board, we could've just used the stapler...

-_-"" seriously diaoz right?

That's what you get when you put 4 boys in a small aircon room, past midnight...LOL...sad case lah us...

=========================================================
Tmr (I mean, in a few hours time) is Sociology of Food Cooking Project...I am quite excited about making fresh pasta...I've never done it before...hope I can get the girls as excited as I am.

Wheee.... =)

Here's a scary picture I wanna share:


To me, the scariest thing about these owls, are their eyes...they just seem to stick out and stare so eerily at me. *shivers*

Not liking them at all...eeeesh....

Thank You

I am glad we talked...I am happy that I know how everything is now.

Be courageous...I know you have it in you.

^_^

It's OFFICIAL...

McDonald's is going to the dogs!!!

My Filet-O-Fish had NO CHEESE in it!

How disgusting is that? I had to add my OWN slice of cheese from the fridge.

Did they spend so much on the 'swanky' new box that they ran out of budget for cheese?

Sheesh...

Preposterous!

Stomp The Yard

It wasn't a bad movie. The plot was predictable, the characters were typical and the dancing and music was SWEET! Nothing to complain about it lah....though it was funny how Lionel and I managed to predict all the typical elements of this kind of plot.

I loved the dance movies though...very very nice...as usual, I think I will download the OST...heh. The guys went to play LAN, but I didn't want to play LAN lah...not my idea of enjoyment.

Instead, I tried out the new bus service 175! It rocks...takes me straight to my doorstep. Amazing...I am glad SBS is making so many new buses travel through Depot Road now. It really feels good knowing that I have a direct bus home from either VivoCity or town...yay!

Have to go and mark my tuition kid's work now...tmr got early morning tuition. ^_^

CCS 2007

It's finally over! I am sooo happy!

I met Suzanne today, and she is SOOOOO PRETTY lah...love her to bits.

Today's event was more or less pretty well done, so I was pretty happy about it. There was even some drama between the top four teams. Very very interesting...I am glad they all had some sense of theatrics (whether intention or otherwise).

I really love the NUSPA 32nd MC. They really amazed me by how they rallied together to lend their support. Really really touched. There's no such thing as rank or what not...everyone pitched in the best they could. ^_^ Love ya guys!

The bulk of the event is finally over, and now all that's left is all the post event stuff. Accounts to settle, and more certificates to print. Whew...trouble trouble trouble...but, it's all part and parcel. I am now thinking whether or not I should go and rest, go logon to my GuildWars to play for abit (which means 4-5AM!!! LOL.)

Ah well...let me shower first I guess. I will upload pictures soon! Wheeee!!!

Had a great day!

Quotable Quote of the day...

月圆之夜

Disclaimer: If you are prone to feeling extreme hunger after viewing pictures of good food, please do not scroll down any further...(I will put an ugly photo at the top, so that you still have a chance to 'escape'...hahaha)









Today is the last day of the Chinese New Year! Wheee...I had an absolutely fantastic lunch at home! Hahahaha...rocks sia..Dad cooked everything lah! And that is super rare, so I guess everything tasted better than usual.




Here we GO!!!

Mixed Vegetables and Mushrooms

Very 'light' dish..nothing too rich or extravagant. Good to balance all the rest of the rich, rich food...Heh.

Yu-sheng with no FISH! ^_^

Funky starting dish! We did yu-sheng with the following fruits and vegetables all shredded up (or..we can be ATAS and say julienned...heehee). Carrot, cucumber, jumbu, mango, papaya, pomelo, radish, crackers, sesame seeds, abalone, prawns, and everything was tossed together with a sweet sauce! Wheee! Excellent dish sia...very very hearty kinda yu-sheng. At the end of it all, we were all wondering why my mom even bothered to cook rice...HAHA.

The aftermath of tossing...and still left so much lor...heh

Breaded Pork fillet! Yummy!

Fish seasoned with tumeric, for that beautiful yellow colour!

This fish was very very nice...the yellow comes from tumeric, and makes it look so appetizing! Heehee...love this dish. The fish was frozen fish from Vietnam I think...and even after all that travelling and being frozen, it still tasted great! Still very fresh you know! I love fish!

Beef Stew!

This was Mom's creation. She loves using her Magic Cooker lah. It is this pot that allows you to keep stuff hot for AGES. And because it is so insulative in nature, you can use it to slow cook stuff and it becomes super tender. This stew at beef cubes, and tender bits from other...ahem...areas of our wonder bovine friend. Of course there were also the usual vegetables like carrots and potatos that totally absorbed all the flavour from the beef...gosh...talk about heaven. Heh...

琵琶豆腐(Pipa Tofu)

I think I got the name right. I am not too sure. The pipa is a Chinese musical instrument, and I have NO IDEA what has that got to do with this dish lah...I only know one thing...it is freaking delicious! Apparently, the last time my dad made this dish was when my brother was one year old. Amazing...it's made from pork, tofu, finely chopped carrots, spring onions and pepper.

Basically, you mash and mix everything up and season to taste. Then you make little dumplings/balls/whatever you want to call them, and deep-fry them slowly in oil. Once the skin is golden brown, pick them up and leave them to rest on a paper towel. Serve with dipping condiment fo your choice..(but I am told there is a SPECIFIC sauce for this dish though).

Here are more pics of the 琵琶豆腐(Pipa Tofu)!!!

On a bed of rice...

Covered in tartar-esque dip...mmmm....

So much for the dip...it tastes just as good without any though..hahahaha

Lunch was great today. I brought some of the food for the guys in school...but poor Fifi couldn't eat the tofu because of the freaking BABI! Argh! Nevermind ok? I make AYAM version for you next time! ^_^ I will go and ask my dad how to make! Heh..

=================================================================

I am not very sure why I am so snappy. And I am sorry for directing so much of whatever I am feeling at you. Will go and reflect and give you a proper answer.

Sorry...

Hell Week Over...sorta

The previous week was terrible. I had tests on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, AND and essay due on Friday.

It was terrible lah...and I have no idea how I will do for the tests as well. Now I have more presentations and essays to write also...freaking annoying man.

Have to press on though...

Boohoo....
