domestic goddess…
except that i am no where near looking like a goddess. i cooked dinner for der again last night! what a lucky b*stard i think he is. considering the fact that i got home so late, am tired and have so much business to care about (like reading my book and doing my hula hoop)! anyway, i tried my hands on frying noodles for him. and yes, you guessed it.. the way my mum cooked it for me. haha. the irritating thing about it is that i totally forgot to take picture while i was preparing it and when i remembered, i ran into my bedroom to grab the camera…

cooking things the way your mum does it.
do you find yourself picking up things unknowingly from your mum sometimes? last night, i was lazy to head out for supper so i whipped a simple fare for the boy at 11pm at night. there wasn’t much in the fridge, so i grabbed whatever there was.. and cooked this. when i took a picture of it, i realised it is something that my mum would cook for me if i was hungry. how funny. considering that i am so lazy that i won’t cook if necessary, i hadn’t realised that i picked up the “habits” of my mum.

because i cannot really move around..
i’m flopped in bed, surfing around on my laptop and trying to sort more than 1GB of pictures taken from yesterday’s wakeboarding sesh. and while i sort them up and load it into my flickr, i just post more on my foodie pictures of the past weeks. 23rd mar 09 was going to head home when my colleague offered a ride to the train station, only to find myself trapped in the car and heading towards OUTRAM, because my colleague has to drop her boss off and in the end, we just decided to head for dinner before heading home. in the end, we ended up joining her boss and…

because i am free…
there are like tonnes of stuff that i wanted to jot down here for remembrance, but time isn’t a luxury. sometimes, i just wish money could buy more time… but i guess one can only trade money (don’t work) for more time. these days, i get the writer’s blog. when i’m damn busy, my mind likes to multi-task and ponder about things that i would like to blog about. but when the time comes for me to be at rest, and actually face the computer, i completely forget what it was that i wanted to jot down. =/ anyway, this is random. i just wanted to blog about all the…

dinner with raf at dempsey…
or the counselling session that he wanted, rather. we had dome for dinner, a quick one with him mostly reading magazines and then surfing on his mobile phone. hur. weirdly enough, i wasn’t up to my usual gorging stint and all i had was a tomato pepperoni pasta which i didn’t even finish and an aloe vera lime drink that i donated to raf after a sip (it has soda water and is carbonated!). the original plan of watching marley & me in Yishun was aborted because der was still having dinner with his friends in tampines. so, raf zipped me to tampines instead to meet der and we watched…

work life balance.
i came home with the intention to go on a blog roll with many happy entries and got triggered by something else, so i have a really unhappy thing to blog about to. anyway, i’ll start with the happy ones! i thought today is a perfect day of work-life balance, because i got work done as usual, hanged out with my favourite babe for laughters and angry exchanges about our day-to-day life, came home and did domestic stuff, and i still had the time to leisurely sit in front of the computer to surf, upload pictures and blog. perfect. the most perfect part was satisfying my cravings for scones with…

blue basil
i finally tried the restaurant after many many months of wanting to try out the place. or has it been a year? the parking was an arse and der & me did the stupidest thing. the car was originally parked at paragon, and because we were lazy to walk, we shifted the car and hopefully could park somewhere nearer so that we didn’t have to walk that far. we didn’t manage to find any available lots and eventually parked the car back in paragon because that was the only place where it was nearer and cheaper. -_-” good food always makes me a happy bird. the personable service was 2…

late night supper.
2 fridays ago, after a long work day, 2 poor souls met up for dinner. was so famished, we over-ordered! the dinner supper lasted almost for 3 hours, more than half the time, i was watching agnes talk on the phone to several people, non-stop. poor girl. can’t even have her dinner in the wee hours in peace. sometimes, i wonder if we are working or we are selling our lives away. we must react when the phone rings. a tad annoying isn’t it? but, that’s just my point of view. ok. i am annoyed lah. at the way things are.. something must change. anyhow, pictures! didn’t take a lot…

dinner date with agnes
what was supposed to be a night of home dinner + mahjong turns out to be an impromptu dinner date with agnes. with yummylicious food and wine, we both are happy campers. i brought her to flamingg mango, this place that i accidentally found when i was looking for a place to bring der during his birthday. i sorta liked the place, it was quiet, relaxing with warm yellow lights, and serves good food and a good range of cheap alcoholic drinks. it’s also quite tucked away so it’s not packed and noisy, which is one of the key reasons why i love the place. hoegaarden lovers would love it…

meeting the girls.
it’s been a while since i met up with the girlies. i am so guilty of not asking them out as often as i would like to. the job has been kinda draining in some sense and all i wanted to do out of office hours was to rest and sleep. i feel quite bad because, everyone around me sorta suffered in some sense and der had been bugging me to the movies every single weekend but we didn’t catch any at all in the last 2 months. i shall keep that in check and meet up with my friends more often! ok. i side-tracked. the dinner date. it was…
