ch.272 Lowry with Elaine
omg. what a great dinner tonite!
went with Elaine to lowry's at lee garden tonight. what a great gathering. The venue was nice, very classy.. the waitress were alrite.. can feel their 'kind impatience". Finally gotta chance to experience their "original ice salad", it was ok only, not as good as i expected.. i like japanese style more. The idea of serving it with cold fork was just some gimmick... can't really expereicne what's so special about that. We ordered the Fish of the day, sea bass, very nice and the english cut. It was very good. the 3 thin slices of beef was in medium and very soft and tender. good food indeed. I then ordered the Apple pie with vanilla gelato.. omg. that's amazing. i enjoyed it so much. The pie was made in an apple shape, meanign the crust are like the shape of an apple, so, half of the apple was presented on the plate. very yummmm and satisfied.
Elaine told me about her experience in the past 3 months, what a tough lady. lesson learnt tonight: try to stand on other ppl's shoe so that u can understaand them and make the situation better.
she did it with her cheated husband and they r trying very hard to get back together now.
i also felt the pain of hers.. n my mom.
I had such a strong feeling for B since last wk. Joke asked me for drink tonight with his frds and i didn't really wanna go but since B was there, i wanted to. But then, when i was on my way back home, on the 112 bus, i prayed to G that pls take away my feeling if it is nothing real n ImMEDIATELY, i meant, IMMEDIATELY, all my feelings were gone. n now, i m still very peaceful. How amazig is that.
Then after got back home, got a fb msg that mr. R asked me out this Fri. hmm.. but i dun hv feeling for him. what is it about G?
On also asked me out for dinner as well n we r meeting up on wed.
what is it about, G? i'll keep on praying n thx for listening. :)

ch.271 ice cream bak bak - wong bak
after the fun hot pot with the old cakes, i walked home. On my way back, i saw the familiar back of the old man, pushing his ice cream carts along boundary street. I have had an urge to help him before and tonight i finally took the courage and asked if he needed any help. He did. So i pushed his carts with him all the way to nathan road, then to the bridge on prince edward road. During our journey, we talked. Bascially, it was him telling him his stories. While helping him push his carts, lots of people looked at us. There was 1 lady even offered to help, which was very nice of her. I think there are still people who are willing to lead out a hand in hk. I m glad i took the courage to help mr. wong. At the end, he offered some drinks for me to take home. it was sweet and of coz i said no need.
I am glad i had the courage to hel him tonight. I felt very good afterwards. I wish to use what i have to help people in God's glory.
Lord, i need your guidiance and I thank you for tonight's experience.

ch.270 home cooking
invited my lovely J's fr home cooking dinner last night. What i served was hmm... turned out to be ok. :)
My dishes:
1. Guacamole with fresh celery and carrt sticks.. supposed to be lovely smoothie texture type of dip but since i have no idea how to pick avacodo, one of the 2 that i bought was still too young --> hard to eat/ mix as smoothie.. very.. crunchy. haha.
Thinking to cook them n see if i could mix it with something to eat with rice? haha. geezz... sounds quite .. hm...
2. Pumpkin soup. ok, this one was awesome! love it. the gals love it too. hehe. but i never expect cutting the pumpkin into pieces require so much power! for just 1/2 of the little pumpkin (japan pumpkim bought at sogo, btw), used up so much strength.. but the result was good.. the soup got texture and tasted very well.
3. tomato sauce with sphetti. Asked my brother how to make the sauce. So i used fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, ice sugar, onino n chicken broth. I unskinned the tomatoes by cutting the skin at the bottom part and drwoned it into a pot of hot water n the skin will rise it by itself after a few minutes.. soo amazing. I can have the tomato skin all peeled but still hv the string at the top.. so pretty. Anyway, the sauce tasted well and i m very proud of myself.
4. Lime chaffon cream pie from Janice. That was great. very very light and lovely crust. With the lemongrass drink after.. they were perfect match with each other.. super touching after hving these 2 lovely pieces.
It was great hving frds at my home and enjoying laughters and food. My tiny cozy space is perfect for frds to enjoy chitchat coz they got nowhere else to go but staying at where they r. :P
lovely wknd.
will cook more.
o, n the pasta with the tomata sauce, it was pefect.. al dente~ hehe..

ch.269 Cooking for 1
The carrot and the cucumber i bought last wknd is getting soft...
i m always thinking about what to cook on the bus ride during my way back home. What's inside the fridge? what I hv left.. like i had 1 onion and 1 sweet potato left.. how should i cook them...
so today, i wanted to cook rice and japanese curry so that i can bring lunch tmmr. Used the old cucumber and the omg-super-soft-duno-if-it's-still-eatable carrot. O, before, i went to park n shop to buy the curry sauce. Wanted to get those japanese cube curry but there's none at wellcome and so after introduced by the wellcome guy, i bought AMOY jpanese curry sauce. Checked the direction and look quite easy to so. OOO, before this, just wanted to add i actually bought 3 zuccini and 2 cucumber after work today for only $6!!! omg!!
anyway, so i started to chop things into pieces. Everything looked right. Then i started to boil water and mix the curry sauce in the bowl. After a few minutes.. didnt look right.. so "hey".. n so i added the chopped pieces of vege.. n still not right.. so i thought, hey i can use the sweet potato to make the 'gravy' kinda texture.. still not right.. n then i suddenly thought of corn starch! n so i immediately turned everything off and ran down to wellcome to get corn starch. Actully, i thought of "san fan" first.. but there's no 'san fan' at wellcome! so i called up my bro and asked if corn starch is similar to san fan.. i m glad my bro is such a good cook n he just solved my problem... n so, i got the corn starch home and mixed it with water n poured it into the watery curry sauce. Magic happened. Everything turned out to be quite nice afterwards, the taste, the texture and ya, the taste.. phewww... Then i poured the tastey sauce into my big bowl of rice and let them cool> JUST put them inside the fridge, as i totally forgot that i still hv them in the kitchen, good that i decided to blog. haha>> SO, there i hv my lovely lunch for tmmr.
lesson learnt, MUST hv corn starch at home.
O, i finally bought a bottle of soy sauce tonight.. N a bottle of X.O sauce.. just incase i dun wanna boil vege anymore but mixed them with this sauce instead..
Finished zipping my hot lemongrass drink... felt so good.
cooking is actully not hard.. just hv to keep practicing as there r so many things u can expect.........

ch. 268 living alone
Living alone is good, i hv the freedom to do whatever whenever. Moving out the 3rd time, i realized, I've grown up mentally.
1. I can sleep on the sofa till rigt after work n woke up at 4am n then sleep walk back to my bed to continue my sleep.
2. I can throw all my clothes out on the sofa n other places, actaully, all over the places without any yelling. But of coz i know i have to clean everything up at the end.. but hving a messy place feel quite good.
3. When all blinds are down, i can dress whatever i want.
4. I can cook all the things that I want, esp. when i am living in such a convenient location. Last night, i tried to fried fish fillet, baked sweet potato chips, fried broccoli with lots of garlic, and boiled a soup. The fish tasted good, other that i am not too sure how to control the power of the electronic stove.. n so my pan kinda got burn... but the fish tasted well, i only used salt, pepper and onion to prepare it and it turned out to be quite good. As for the sweet potato chips, i bought those japanese purple one, which the original taste is super sweet already. BUt i failed. the frist round turned out to be burn, yes, n that smelt quite bad.. n then i did ok on the 2nd adn 3rd round, but nothing close to what's described on the cookbook. I'll try again. For my 3rd dish, the fried brocoli, it turned out to be not bad, i tried that before n i think i've gained wisdom from the previous failure and this time, it's more than eatable. haha.. as for the soup, it's very good as usual as i only have to wash all the ingredients, boiled the meat before, n then pour everything in in 1 big bowl. Other than those, i tried those japanese "Mo" beans as well. I found this place that's only selling $8/'gun"! i got lots for $8! those were my snacks for the last wk while i was watching the tvb late night drama. haha.. n today, i boiled the lemongrass ibought from kln city with gigner and ice sugar to make a drink. IT IS SO REFRESHING! it is sooo easy to make and cheap but it turned out to be sooo amazing. I think i m falling in love with cooking coz the feeling of accomplishment is big. PLus i like to eat and try all sorts of things. yay.
5. jogging at 730pm/ 8pm/ 6pm/ anything i want near my home. I told myself I must at least jog/walk around the park 5 times everytime I go and the feeling is very great after exercising.
6. Buying fresh flowers cheap. MY place is soo close to the flower market and i can just go buy a bunch of fresh flowers for my home. The home is alot more 'alive' with a touch of the flowers.
7. Wathc tv/ film online till late nite on my sofa.... that's a great feeling.
8. N i found that i got detox every wknd. seriously, i 'detox' sooo badly during the wknd, which is a good thing coz during the wk, i guess due to stress, i dun go at all. haha.. so i m literally full of shit at work. haha. lamo
9. i tend to clean up my place quite often. I sweep the floor almost every night n i actually kneel down to wash the floor to make sure it's all clean. I wash the toilet everyday and kitchen is very much cleaned everyday. wow. i've defintiely changed. Or may be i can't ignore the dirt since this place is so tiny.
10. I can't think of pt. 10.
darn.
