Sick!!!

Last evening, when I am on the way for my lesson headache started hunting after me. It continue and causes me to wake up in the middle of the night. Until this morning, my head still continue to have the 'high' feeling.

Migraine start to look for me again. During Jun timing, I have visited Doctor Tan for the same reason. He explained to me that women tends to have migraine before or during their menses. Lack of sleep and over stress are some of the reason to have migraine too.

Of course, my migraine is cause by over stress. Before the lesson I already headache after knowing that I need to re-do my 1st assignment I going to faint.

He said that he hesitate for quite some time but end up still request me to re-do. Almost more than half of the class requires to re-do the assignment. What the hell is hesitate for quite some time for!!!

After Ivy and I 自我催眠 we no choice have to accept the fact...

Prawns

We will be having Company BBQ cum Chalet this Monday. I am in-charge to buy prawns for this BBQ.

Today, I followed my mom to the Supermarket to buy "游水的虾" live prawns. I killed lives!!! The prawns are struggling inside the plastic bag!!!

The best part is handling of the prawns...


When I pour the prawns into the sink to process them, some are still alive, they are jumping. I need to cut off their head. Even their heads have been cut off they are still able to move!!! That is disgusting lor.

Before I cut any prawns I try to use scissor to poke poke to test is it still alive, but when I tried to cut off the head for one of the prawn, it is struggling. I am damn shock.

I will not buy anymore live prawns le...
_______________________________________________________________
My mom cannot stand my speed of processing and the way I poke poke the prawns. She start to scold me. Between us we got funny conversation as below:

Mom: Can you do it faster? You must hold the prawn firmly and stop poking at the prawns.
Me: No choice la. Some of the prawns still alive ma.
Mom: You choose to buy live prawns ma, of course it is still alive.
Me: I need to test are they really dead ma.
Mom: Then you took those that are not moving one lor.
Me: Who's know the prawn is it forge death.

To prove that I am correct, the above dead prawn incident happens.

Kit's Birthday Celebration

We have decided to celebrate Kit's birthday at AquaMarina. Well, it is expensive, it cost $58++ per person.
Frankly speaking the food is really so so. The variety of the food is not a lot. Their special is the grilled King Prawn and drunken prawns. The drunken prawns are nice, tasty soup and fresh prawns. On the other hand, the grilled King Prawn is not nice at all. The meat is too 'rough'. But their service is really good, constant refill of water, clear the plates when I back with more food, folded napkins.
Conclusion, try this if you have spare cash.


(PS: My Boss boss request me to post his individual photo on my blog. )
To sideline a bit, I have funny relationship with my boss. It is common to have unusual conversation with him.

For example:

Me: Can explain to me what you write to xxx? (The email is written in Jap)
Him: Pls wait until my meeting end.
(In between conversation skip)
Me: Not only you busy ma! I am busy also!!!

This is the most daring conversation between him and I. But he seems not angry!!! The surround colleague is shock by my reply...

Lost!!!

I have tried my best in my studies and manage my work at the same time.
But the result still... Of course not fail but not up to my expectation.
Maybe I am not the cut in Business course...
Lately, lack of motivation to do my assignment and I do have the idea to stop my studies.

Can't help feeling lost!!! As if I am stuck in the mud.
How long do I need to overcome this again...
For my work it took me 1 and half years to get over it but I don't have so much time to go through this...

12 Oct'08

Last minute decision to watch Connected at Orchard Cineleisure. I didn't watch the English version "cellular" but it is very nice movie. It is funny, fast moving pace and full of exciting scene.

After the movie, we go to basement foodcourt to have our dinner. Both of us ordered Steamboat. It is the deja vu feeling. It remind us of the first dinner we have in Taiwan. The ingredients is more or less the same in anywhere but the most important is the paste. In Taiwan, they do have special sauce to go with the food. The paste is mixture of sesame and bean paste. They also have the garlic paste which is soak with special oil and it got very strong fragrant of garlic, very smooth and not spicy at all. Normally, I do not like to eat garlic even it is with chicken rice, but they make the garlic very nice. In Taiwan, they just serve us the pre-mix paste but in foodcourt it is DIY.

I strongly recommend this steamboat @ Cineleisure basement foodcourt. I consider their charges are OK with the fresh ingredients, large serving of greens, meats and rice and the location and environment is nice. It is a combo meal with soup of your choice, generous serving of greens, meat of your choice and rice. Chicken - $5.80, beef or mutton - $6.80 and seafood - $7.80. They have 4 type of soup base, chicken, ginseng chicken, tom yam & ma la. I try the ginseng, they have taste and aroma of ginseng. As weiwei tried the ma la, at the end of the meal he really feel that his lips and tongue went numb.

Try it if the foodcourt is not crowded and you are not in a hurry...

4 and half year anniversary

Calamari Fish & Chip

Seafood platter for 1

He and I been together for 4 and half year. We decided to go Fish Market @ PS to have our dinner. We always see long queue outside that shop so we decided to try it out. Before that Xiao Wen strongly recommend their food and their 会喷火的虾.

He can only able to come after work which will reach around 8.30pm. So I have to shop around while waiting for him. Due to the Fish Market always got big groups of people outside queueing. Thus, I need to go and queue first, so lonely...

Finally, he reached earlier than the waitress bring us to our seat. The whole restaurant is like its shop name Fish Market. It is so noisy in the restaurant, we always can't hear each other voice.

We got a free calamari, which taste so-so. The Fish and Chip is nice but the seafood platter is the best. The cheese or the sauce is tasty, it goes perfectly well with the garlic & butter rice. So heavenly... The serving for one is very generous, I am so full that I can't finish the fries.

Next time when we go again we will try the seafood platter for 2. This have more variety of seafood.

无爸妈的孩子日记(第二集)

Whole day at home doing my assignment. Thereafter, need to do some household chore, like mop the floor and keep the kitchen clean. As I am too lazy to go out to buy my meals, so I need to cook some snack to fill my stomach.

Today I finally go and clear my wardrobe. Wow! it took me 2 hr to clear and pack all stuff. I got handful of clothes that need to iron.

Everyday need to plan my meals, breakfast need to cater for my brother share, lunch hmmm... downstairs canteen food is getting worse, dinner - maybe will skip it... I hope at the end of the whole trip I am able to reduce some weight instead of eating too much junk food and gain weight.

Just not too long ago my brother is asking whether I am cooking tomorrow dinner or not... Cooking for myself and cooking for my brother are 2 different things. Cos I will still eat it no matter how lousy it is but for them err... I always can't gauge how much to cook.

Childhood dreams

Last Sat specially went down to Pasir Ris to celebrate Yoon's daughter birthday and pass by Downtown East. Recently Downtown East has renovated and there are Ferris Wheel and merry go round in the mall.



From young until now, I do not experience merry go round before. Well, I do go to funfair to play all those rides but non of them is merry go round. One thing is that my mom give me very little budget. Secondly, I think it is boring to as it just go round and round, I might as well play something more challenging.



As I grow up, I will start to feel that it is a waste not to try all those rides. I only have a taste of Ferris Wheels when I went to Taiwan. Currently, I still left merry go round still not yet tried. The worst thing is that, merry go round is only for children... As they have weight limit. (If I not wrong) I tried to take the merry go round in sunway lagoon, but the staff stop me.

So my point is that we need to experience all kind of things in different stages of life and don't stop your children having all those stupid rides. (or which you think that it is stupid) Why dress up a young kid according to the current trends. They looks perfectly cute to me when they wear jumper. When an adult wear a jumper, people will feel that she is act cute. Why children try to be an adult while an adult trying to be a children...

So try below simple equation in every stages of life.


Experience + Exposure = Fulfillment






无爸妈的孩子日记(第一集)

相应蔡依琳得呼唤“Welcom to Taiwan",我爸妈飞去了台湾。我爸妈和两个朋友一同参加了七天环岛游。可怜的我就开始了我的无爸妈的孩子日记,以记录我的maid的日子。

昨晚薇民(也就是我男朋友。请不要怀疑,我没有写错他的名字。)在我家过夜,顺便送我爸妈去机场再回自己的家。

通常爸妈不在的第一天是不会发生什么事情。但一大清早就发生一段小笑话,我三哥找不到鞋子就说是不是老爸穿错鞋子。我也没多加理会,一直到他说他不见了三双鞋子我才走出来叫他找另一个鞋橱。

我们都是一群被宠坏的孩子,找不到东西就开口问一下或是爸妈自动的拿给我们。

由于家务事都是爸妈打理的,现在要由我负责好可怜哦!!!这七天要安排自己的三餐还要打扫家里,一想到就头痛。
