what's up

Waited and waited... how come the rice is not ready yet?? more than half hour already, and my sesame-ginger chicken is almost done! Opened the lid and tata - the rice is not cooking~! and why, because I forgot to push down the "Cook" button on cooker... What a genius. Luckily, I've got one more dish to prepare - stir fry vegetables. Oh well, thank goodness all turned out yummy in the end. No super salty-oily dishes or burnt down kitchen to deal with. Overall the first 'real' meal's a success, minus the Einstein rice cooker mistake. =P

I'd probably whip up something every week. Already, for next sun, I've got some plans - western cusine. Roast sausages + potato salad/mashed potato and/or alfredo pasta. Yippee. =)

Yesterday was a long, hard day. Contractor came up to fix two more A/C sockets, went back to old house to pack some more barang, returned to new house to unpack a few more boxes, went CPF, went stationery-shopping, fixed up a kitchen push-trolley... so physically and mentally exhausting. To wrap up the day, pa and myself decided to reunite with Tiger and Crab - a late night dinner (~9pm) of stir fry salted eggs with crabs, fish head bee hoon, and tiger beer at a nice, quiet henderson coffeeshop. Very relaxing. Came back and zonked off.



Ealier this morning, before I started meddling in the kitchen, spruced up my picture board too. So here goes, therapeutic pics and knick knacks of wonderful memories and lovely gifts:



Have to start work in a while... been pushing aside work for home these few days. Time to return my employer some effort for the salary bestowed.
