A overdue post

Wow.. It has almost been 3 years since my last post..


Throughout the 3 years, all of things have happened, good and bad.. How come my life always seem to be like a roller-coaster?


When the unhappy incidents happen, I am grateful that I have people beside me who helped me to pick myself up.


I am also grateful to have cross my path with the person who have hurt me badly. If it is not for u, I might not have survived a lot of incidents tat have happened. I might not have meet with the people who are caring for me now.  Though we are not fated, I just want to say a big thank you to you for staying in my life for so long and enduring my bad temper n etc.. haha


I sincerely wish you all the best in your life and whatever you do.. I suppose you do know who u r if u r reading this entry.. :)


Though my wound is still healing, I believe that I can grow stronger. Time will heal my wound. :) I still believe that there is someone who is out there for me, just that I have yet to meet the correct guy. When the time comes, I will meet him. As for now, I can be friends with anyone. Hopefully it is not another bee who will come along the way. 1 bee is enough.. I do not need bees or houseflies. haha


Enough of the unhappy incidents.. Life isn't all about the unhappy things. I rather live my life with a smile.. :)


Now is for happy thing.. I have finally passed my driving test last year. I am really glad that I have changed instructor and driving centre. Perhaps I am not fated to pass at Ubi.. I passed with 14 points, 4 points inside the circuit and 10 points for stopping at the pedestrian red light. Prior the test, the instructor was joking that if I pass the test, the sky will be clear as it was hazy that day. During the test, I was super nervous but I parked without mistake and I was super surprised about that. Perhaps it was due to my nervousness, I was not driving to my standard that day. I have done a lot of stupid things on the road. Luckily, the tester passed me cause he knew that I was nervous. I am thankful to my instructor and friends who encouraged me to change instructor. I passed at first trial at woodlands.. Yeah.. :) 


Yeah to a better 2016 and a better me.. :)

S.H.E - 天灰Tian Hui (Darkening of the Sky)

This song describes my mood from yesterday afternoon till now.. My sky feels so darkene now..

Why do I have to be so nervous? I am shivering from the time I waited in the room till I was in the car..

I felt my attempt in doing vertical, parallel and directional change (which is supposed to be best)..

Why????

Dinner at Hung Kang Teochew Restaurant :)

This is my third time writing this entry..

Met him at The Central.. We chanced upon Hung Kang Teochew Restaurant while walking around Clarke Quay and waiting for our turn at the Thai Restaurant.. I was glad tat I have chosen this place as we did not need to smell bad after eating as compared to eating bbq food at the Thai Restaurant..

We have chosen the $39.90++ per pax set meal and we were given a choice of 1 soup and 2 other dishes.

1) Both of us have chosen the shark fin soup with conopy.. I was even asking him if the brown item was shark fin as they have given us 4 pieces each.. The portion was considered generous..

2) My fav steamed pomfret.. The fish was quite fresh, big and tasty and I have a great time eating it..

3) Braised goose meat.. I was asking him if it is really goose meat as it taste like duck meat.. Being a connoisseur in food, he said tat it was really goose meat as the texture is different.. wow..

4) Ordered an extra cai po fried with egg.. Not a bad choice..

5) Ordered my fav yam paste with ginko nuts as dessert.. The yam paste was yummy, though it is slightly sweet.. To him, the texture wasnt smooth enough..



A menu like this cost us $104 per 2 after GST and service charge..

To me, the price was ok as the food was yummy and the service was relatively ok.

I would recommend this restaurant to my friends as the service attitude was relatively good though we have chosen the set menu.. They even asked if we were full from the menu when we were leaving..

*Written based on my own eating experience.. May vary for diff ppl..

Porridge Party on 27 Jun '13

There is a saying 'when the cat is out, the mice come out and play..' As for us, we did a 'porridge party'..

Though we have already decided tat each of us will contribute an item and will only have 6 - 7 dishes, we ended up having 14 dishes for 6 pax..

D went to the market and bought quite a few items for us like squids, tofu, vegetables and salted eggs.

1) We placed the squids in the microwave to heat it up a bit..

2) The cold tofu with heated minced meat..

3) Our usual dish but it is cheese luncheon meat this round..

4) Contibuted by J's mum.. She cooked this early in the morning.. Fried egg with cai po..

5) Also contributed by J's mum.. Meat cooked with caixin..

6) Youtiao bought by YC..

7) Salted eggs.. Pardon the ugliness of the outlook of the egg..

8) Vegetarian Gluten meat with peanuts..

9) Anchovies heated up in the microwave..

 10) Cai po..

11) Contributed by D's mum.. Wu xiang..

12) Wanted to eat this but we were too full from other dishes.. Hence, it still remain in this packaging.. Ba hu..

13) Contributed by D.. Fermented tofu.. 

14) Our overall dishes with the bowls of porridge..

                                         

15) We have the cooked vegetables but I was too busy eating till I have forgotten to take pic of it.. We managed to cook it after putting it into the rice cooker to cook.. We placed it in the microwave initially but it was not cooked instead..

The porridge was cooked by mummy YC and we were glad tat the portion of the porridge was just enough for everyone.. We were too stuffed by the last round of porridge with sweet potato.

We were glad tat we did not open too many cans of canned food but we have quite a few of home-made dishes instead..

I am still quite full from the lunch plus the earlier on breakfast..

Overall, it was a happy lunch.. :)

餓

不知为什么这几天早上我都好餓啊！

昨天早上本来只是吃一个娘惹粽子和一个没料的粽子，可是因为太餓了，所以又吃多一个没料的粽子。

今天又吃了一个肉粽子和两片面包。

天啊，我真的吃过多了！再这样下去我要变肥了！

气死我了。。

我快要暴砸了。我的心情现在无法平恒下来。

我现在一直提醒自己不要把我的愤怒摆在脸上。

我不应该听到他在电话所说的话，现在才不会把我气的想暴砸。

我知道我不应该太结意，可是我就是做不到。。

我的就是我的，别人就是不可以要。。

就算是我不要的，你也不可以要。。

那就是我。。

43) Me with Jac.. There are quite a few more pics of the friends who went but I didnt upload here.. In case they happen to browse into this blog.. haha

The meal of 9 dishes cost us approx. RM$1,600 for 9 pax which was quite exp.. Anyway if u eat these dishes in SG, I would suppose it would cost more.. It was raining when we were buying the chinese biscuits..

Though it was super hot at the start but it was quite cooling on our way home.. A gd way to end the day.. :)
