Sapped dried

Mentally n physically drained out.
What shall we have for dinner tonight.

Skipped my lunch today
Hardworking? Workaholic?

Nay...
Just busy..

We went to mom's place for dinner with the rest of my siblings.

Was fun. Our parents seems happy to have us all there.

We def should do this often.

Ps .. We had Hilsa fish again.... :-)

At last I succumbed to temptation..

It's official.
I've gone to the dark side..
Can't wait to reach home to play.

Pearl Jam 20 is awesome

Don't miss it !!!

Jalan2 carik kopi

Lepas maghrib konon nak keluar carik barang untuk buat epok2. (Another of my ambitious idea for this week)

Original plan,

1) lepak pat warong abang makan nasi goreng ngan mee soto.

2) Lepas tu minum kopi pat Civic Centre punya Starbucks which is just 3 bus stop away.

3) pergi cold storage beli tepung for epok2

Pasal kita baru habis makan, babe suggested kita naik feeder bus service pusing satu round. Konon lepas habis tawaf satu woodlands, perut tak le kembung lagi.

Lepas pusing satu round, sampai pat bus interchange nampak bus pergi Tampines. Apa angin kita pun suggestla gi Ikea Tampines. Nanti sampai sana take the next bus home la kita cakap. Dia pun layankan jer.

Da halfway, cakap ngan dia 'apa kata kita gi Tampines Mall. Pat situ pun ada Starbucks. Dengar kata pat sana pun ada Koi.

Hahaha

Fast forward 1hr later, sekarang ni tengah dok pat Tampines Mall Starbucks which is bout 45mins away by car or 1hr 30mins by train or 1 Hr by bus untuk minum kopi mahal sambil update blog, update Facebook, sambil dengar lagu Muse.

Nak ajak my sisters ngan cousins too last min plak dorang tak free. Apa tidaknya da kul 10 malam.

Laki aku plak hepi pasal dia boleh baca paper in peace Hahaha

Jauh betul nak carik kopi eh. Nak balik satu citer lagi ni.

Naik taxilah jawapnya. Taxi dari Tampines sampai Marsiling dalam $18. Mahal sungguh kopi hari ni.

Joy of slowcooker

Oh my I need rest and I need food
Who wants Banquet with overdose salt and MSG
or fast-food which only satiate me for awhile.
I want homecook meal. Period !!!

Out comes Crocker to the rescue.


Meet Crocker the crockpot.

My saviour indeed in my time of need.

1) Dump all ingredients, into the crockpot, leave it on low for 4hrs while i snoozed,


(What's inside. Oxtail, Carrot, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Ginger, White and Black Pepper, i added 4 cili padi for heat, Soup Tulang Adabi and a pinch of of Tumeric, Salt)

(The Adabi Sup Tulang Spices)

2) Woke up to yummylicous smell lingering in the air

3) Add the condiments. 

(I added, tomatoes, scallion, flat leave parsley and fried onions. Add salt to taste if need)

3) Ready to be eaten. How convenient!!

Sedap oh so tender oxtail soup.

All that's missing is freshly baked bread fro Delifrance.
Hurry hurry delifrance causeway point. When are you re-opening? Someone missing you bad.

Ps : I'm cooking raw meat and slowcooker takes awhile to heat up to safe temperature and since i don't want to risk forming of harmful bacteria due to the raw meat, I usually kick start by heating the whole pot on gas stove first.

Haze please go away

The haze is back and it's bad.
Burning smell in the air.
Many are affected.
I'm sick thanks to haze.

Eyes watery and blurry vision.
I can feel onset of another wheezing
Hope will not led to another a&e visit.

Side track... Latest pose from Tomoe. Brings smile to my otherwise uncomfortable Monday.

This is he after a heavy meal.

Single lone stem

I bought a pretty plant from Ikea couple of months back thinking how nice it'll be to have something pretty and green at my workstation.

This is what happen to my'pretty' plant now.

Hahaha poor plant kena mutilated by me.

I totally don't know how to trim the plant. So I chopped off the whole lot in exasperation.

I was then away for 3 days due to asthma. When I came back, this is what I see.

Single lone reed. Standing tall and proud.

Big thanks to my kakis... I got to know every single person passing by my workstation will give my plant a bath. :-) .

Now this plant whose species I still don't know till now has become the team's pet.

Hopefully poor pretty plant will not drown due to overshower Hahaha

Side track a bit..

Having yummy maggi goring for lunch.. From where I'm seated I can see so many shoppers passed by with Charles n Keith shopping bag.

Today is the last day for Charles N Keith warehouse sales.

Wah Seng and Yuki Seah wedding

Date : 10th of September 2011
Venue : Orchard Parade Hotel

Congrats guys.

Wishing you blissful life together forever.

Nice to meet up with ex colleagues. The Muslim food really alot. We can't finish it. Food bt Tung Luk group. So I think food catered by Garuda which is their halal restaurant. The cutleries is different from Chinese food as well which is a nice touch.

Vegetarian food looks delish too. Didn't checkout Chinese table tho.

We reached there late so missed the march in and photo session with Yuki.

Only groom photos for now.

Mee hoon soup for the sick

Hubby sick.

Cooked for him mee hoon soup as requested.

Here's a bowl of half eaten soup. His only complain, I omitted out oyster sauce n soya sauce. But he's happy he got his sliced red chillies with fish sauce.

Chicken rice requested by oppa

somehow the chilli sauce turns out diff than usual. Even oopa commented on this. I wonder what did I miss.
