the cooking journey

haissssss

no feel, no feel at all to study. HOWWWW

tried cooking char siew pork today and hmm, the steps seem easy, like there're only 2 steps involve, but i mess it up! may look easy to cook yea, but its not. i burnt it cause the fire was too big, but i already put lowest fire alreadysssssssss. :(
since last sem when i first tried cooking cauliflower, i've never burnt any of my food until this. ultimate sianness. and it was too salty, cause i put too much seasoning.

we tried making chinese dumplings last friday and made chicken rice yesterday. firstly the dumplings, :S. can only use this face to describe. damn sian, despite all our efforts in making everything from scratch, the skin's too thick and the filling's rather tasteless. not enough seasoning i guess.

oh and i tried making corn soup too. hmm corn and potato soup. surprisely it turn out to be great! :)) just that i cant chop the corn cob, damn hard. in the end the whole thing as in the whole corn cob just had to go into the soup as it is.

chicken rice was okay. :)

okay can you sense my lowness now?

i am going low low low low low low~~

while i was cooking just now i was thinking, if 20 30 years later i would recall myself cooking char siew pork or whatever dishes for the first time in my life, then what i will remember is whatever im doing now.

as :S as cooking can get, i think if i've never come over, i would probably still not know how to cook dishes other than maggi and egg.

hmm

and i think im starting to like this place a little more each day.. the crazily unstable hot and cold weather (cause you're hot and you're cold~ you're yes and you're no~ you're in and you're out~ you're up and you're down~), the strong wind that drive your hair all over, the days which start getting dark at 5, the romantic balding autumn trees with yellow droppy leaves and so much more...

and i like this semester at school. i like the subjects im taking now - marketing :) i like my classmates in tutorials. i even enjoyed those assignments, though at the point when i was doing i was quite grumpy and angsty (yea referring to my previous post haha). :)

this sem had been very hectic, busy, but fun and fulfilling at the same time. arhh really dont want it to end. because end of semester means exams. but then again, end of exams means singapore.

end of sem = exams
exams = singapore

if only end of sem = singapore (its mathematically right!), i would really look forward to the end of semester then.

one litre of tears

exactly one month since my last post. :)

i finally finished the biggest assignment i've had so far, a 3000 words managing operations report. so this is what i've been doing for the entire weekend, friday saturday sunday. -.- totally stressed out over it. and what 3000 word limit, always set a limit and dun follow, exclude this exclude that. in the end include everything my entire report has like 3800 words. neways whatever it is im done with it.

had jap listening test today haha, can die. totally can see 3D question marks popping out of my head. i think im so gonna fail.

and there's still marketing report and econs essay before im done with assignments.. hais ultimate sian-ness. if this is boring you, its boring me too! i also dun want to blog about studies!!! :(

for the first time in my life i cried so much yesterday. and if i were to collect them in a pail, i think i'll get one litre of tears. haha. if you read on you'll be like chey. haha.

yes i watched one litre of tears yesterday after finishing my operations report. wanted to take a break and dilute my brain abit after all those nonsense. when choosing which show to watch, i chose a jap show to make myself feel better, hmm at least its a form of listening practice too k! ha and in the end what a terrible mistake i've made.

totally cannot stop watching! immediately from epi 1 cry all the way to epi 11. haha so lousy. to think before this i always laugh at people who cry while watching shows. but really! this kinda illness + family ties show, i cannot resist. haha. in the end wake up this morning, erms afternoon, got puffy and swollen eyes. my eyes are already very small k! dun make it any smaller.

btw its getting really cold here. think winter has arrive early. there's one night the temperature suddenly drop to 2.9 degrees. coldest night in 56 years. im like freezing everyday, especially the few minutes when you off the tap but body's still wet after showering. woah. dun even want to think about it.

and im sick yet again. sianssssss (heehee i like to put lotsa sssssssss). flu only lah, not swine flu. haha. yesterday while watching the show im still wondering if my block nose is because of the show or because im sick. hmm probably because im sick. haha!

oh and and and, i booked my air ticket already. :) will be going back on 28 june sunday, and returning on 28 july monday. one month exactly. just got the exam timetable today and i have 2 papers in one day! siao liaoss! 22 june being the last day of exams. wait for me 28 june! heehee :)
