Blogging freeze

Lately seem to haf a blogging freeze.. Onli gOt the mood to blog early in the day.. Now is 5am.. Am playing FB games & uploading photos & blogging..

Today slept till 130pm den wake up.. After tat watched TV & ordered McDonalds.. Been ordering Mac for lunch & dinner these 2 weeks.. As beibei is off today, we considered abt wat to do for the rest of the day.. I suggested either cooking or gOing out for steamboat & he decided on cooking. =)

Cooking has been my latest craze, dunno why keep having the urge to cook for the past few days. =P So after finishing our Mac & watching Guess x 3, we started surfing the net for ideas on wat to eat for dinner.

Finally decided on cooking:
1) Braised Ee Foo Mein with crabmeat
2) Fish (beibei own secret recipe)
3) Sze Chuan Chye Soup with tomato & pork ribs
4) Fried chicken popiah (Courtesy of my own recipe~)

Was slightly drizzling when we went out so armed with an umbrella & a trolley, we made our way to Giant. Reached there after walking for like 15min. Proceeded to buy our ingredients. Fish was not very fresh and the onli fresh one quite big. hahaha.. Ended up buying a beheaded red snapper fillet for the fish. Den he bought a garlic chilli sauce for the dressing. Bought veggies, noodles, chicken fillet, popiah skin etc~~ Bought my 8 days, newspapers, beer & some instant noodles oso. Total bill comes up to $70+~~

After tat made our way home. Reached home ard 8plus, beibei proceeded with cooking the noodles, soup & fish. And i started making the filling for my popiah. Hmmm.. The popiah recipe is my self-created one. =) I remember doing it twice, both time when i was 16, wif my best fren "xiao nao" --> Janice Ng. Hahaha.. remember tat time we were quite passionate abt cooking & went to the library to borrow cookbook. Somehow the onli food i rem us making is this dish. Made once and the next time was during my 16th birthday~~ (Got a few compliments if i rem correctly ^_^) Ahhh. sweet memories~~

Anyway i tried to recreate the recipe from memory, & added in whatever ingredients which i think would make it nicer~ So i used the following:

1) Minced chicken fillet
2) Diced carrots
3) Minced mushrooms
4) Minced onions
5) Minced dried shrimps (hei bi)
6) Salt, pepper, sesame oil, egg as the seasonings~

In the end, I only managed to finish my fillings when beibei has already finished all the other dishes. So we decided to eat the noodles, fish & soup first before making my popiah, which shall be kept as supper.

Dinner was yummy + sweet~ ^_^ beibei is reali a great cook (better than me~) & he can cut stuff faster and nicer than me~

But think beibei overestimated & cooked too much (2 big bowls of noodles) & 1 big pot of soup~ So in the end, we onli managed to finish half a bowl of the noodles, the whole fish fillet & half pot of soup. He wanted to throw away the leftovers but i scolded him for wasting food~ hahaha.. So i told him to leave them in the fridge and i will eat them for lunch & dinner tmr~

After finishing dinner, we started "bao-ing" the fillings using the popiah skin. Think my bao-ing skill is nicer thou~ ^_^ I oso overestimated the quantity so bao-ed all the fillings & kept the popiah in a tupperware & kept in fridge for future use. Beibei then fried the popiah.

End product: Sedap~~ hahahaha.. Ok lah, tasted quite ok. But would be better if i put in more sesame oil + add some water chestnut. Hmm.. Always got room for improvement so next time!! =)

After eating we watched our current fav show (Ji Du San Guo) online. Started chasing the show via DVD but we discovered that can watch online! So happy~ The male leads are all shuai ge can~ Go watch!! "Wu Hu Jiang" are the current craze in Taiwan~~ SwoOn~~~~

Ok, that's all for my rambling today~~ Now oredi 530am liao~ Trying to stay awake so tat i can wake up beibei later @ 630am~~ Oh ya, tis is the 1st Tues tat i nv go SB liao, thanks to him loh~~ -__-"

Public holiday

Today is public holiday. Holed up @ beibei home waiting for him to come back (no holiday for him as he is doing reservist as police)..

After he come back, went to Elias Mall to eat.

Boring day~

our first home cooked meal~

yESTERDay went to upper serangoon shopping center wif beibei.. After tat couldnt decide where to go for dinner & wat to do.. Initially beibei suggested going for steamboat or KTV.. But somehow i got no mood.. tired oso...

I suggested cooking dinner for ourselves as i found a few website which haf recipe.. So went back his hse and browsed the web.. Beibei asked me wat i wanna eat.. After much browsing, decided on salted egg york crab, creamy prawns, sweet & sour pork & tom yam soup..

Walked to Giant & bought our ingredients~ Damn heavy~ Spent abt $50 for all the ingredients.. Den went back home & beibei put on his apron & proceeded to cook dinner. I helped out wif preparing the ingredients and beibei was the chef~

Halfway thru, his cousin called him and asked him to go out for drinks later.. Arranged to meet @ 1030pm.. We started cooking @ 9pm and finally managed to finish everything by 1030pm... All the food turns out great, especially the soup & sweet & sour pork~~ Beibei's father eat together wif us..

Managed to finish all the food (except for the soup cos he cooked too much liao) It was great fun!!! Photos uploaded in FB..

Ended up drinking @ home cos his cousin fly kite which beibei has oredi expected. He told me tat he always fly kite.. Fly until beibei oso sian liao.. Haiz.. Cant understand some ppl. Asked ppl out but end up last min always cancel..

Haf a great day~

Feeling so stressed up..

It's now 5am Sunday morning... Here i am blogging.. Couldnt sleep at all... I think is due to me thinking too much.. But no choice.. I really cant get to sleep.. All i can think of is my debts... How am i going to clear my debts which are mounting like mad?

I am like self destructing.. knOwing that the debts are mounting higher and higher, spirally out of control.. Yet I just keep on spending, lending people money.. What the hell am i dOing with my life...

Am feeling sick of myself.. Many interviews arranged yet i never go.. Not studying hard enough for my exams and not going for enough classes.. Sigh.. The only positive thing rite now is HIM.. Thanks to him for cheering me up everyday...

What has happened in these (almost) 3 months that I didnt even have time to blog? Lots... My birthday has come and go.. Officially 27 already.. The year i was supposed to get married, according to the fortune teller i went to when i was 14.. hahaha.. Suddenly feel very tired of life.. Haiz..

*Work wise*
Since I left tat shithole, tried working for 2 other companies but it did not last long.. The 1st one was @ HSA, as a temp HR.. Lasted all of 2 weeks.. The environment there CMI.. Treated like 2nd class citizen.. Hourly-rated somemore..

2nd place was @ Standard Chartered Bank.. The post was a one year contract.. The pay was good.. But I cannot adapt to the environment and job scope.. Left after almost a month there.. Since then, been gOing for a few interview..

Was shortlisted for a few but did not follow up.. Dunno what is wrong with me oso.. Anyway.. got 3 more interviews scheduled for next week.. I must buck up & make sure i go for the interview.. If not i think i can really file for bankrupcy liao..And my "beibei" promised to get me a present if i can secure a job within next week ^_^

*School-wise*

Gotten the results for the previous semester finally.. Gotten mainly B+.. So far so good.. But think tis term result sure die... Damn hectic schedule this term.. Luckily it has ended.. After i take 2 more exams next week... Sigh.. Supposed to take the exam this week but was on MC for 2 days of the exam so need to retake... Hopefully can pass ba...

*Love life*

Broken up wif BF of 2 years last month, after much struggle.. Hate to be the one to initiate a break up.. Is it me? Why cant i stay with a guy for more than 3 years?? He was good but not for me....

Gotten together wif my beibei recently.. Really glad to have found him.. More about our story in some other posts...

Feeling rather tired.. Will update soon..
