Valentine's to New Year

i made a trip down to the capital to see my hunnie for Vday, we didn't go out or anything since House MD was on tv and he didn't want to miss it, but personally i rather watch Heroes...which was on at the same time on the other channel. grrr..
at least he made me italian for dinner. and then i set up candle lights around the spa so we did something romantic that night.

Thai Chili Basil Chicken/Beef/Pork is the easiest dish to make, (which is what i made for dinner for my hunnie the night after).
all u need is:
- your choice of meat, (cut into cubes/small bite size pieces),
- some little red bird eye chilles, (bruised in the motar or just chopped if u're lazy like me),
- a bunch of basil,
- some other veges, i used bok choy, carrots, onion and garlic
- fish sauce

so u brown the meat, remove from pan, then heat oil in pan, add in ur choice of veges, stir for 3-5 mins, add in meat, stir, add in chili and basil, stir, add in fish sauce, stir and turn off heat, add in bit more basil and ta da! Thai Chili Basil ready to be served with rice. it was yummmm

Chinese new year is here!!! woo hoo... gung hai fat choy everyone!!!
May the year of the Pig bring good fortune and prosperity to all!
Went out to waaaay far for family dinner on New year's Eve. was ok. my family... they dont talk much, we're all into our handheld game console... basically...we got one to share between every 2 person, thaT's why i got mine also.. to have entertainment at family gathering....it's rather sad really....so hopefully this week we can get more interactive....my family seems to have accepted my gwailo hunnie. even he made some profit with the lucky money last night.... i'm not opening mine til end of new years coz it's suppose to be bad luck otherwise......

I won!!!

woo hoo..never really won anything in my life.. not with scratchies or lucky draws etc... but then the other day while bored at work, i went to this website to enter into all these competitions.. some were just to win movie tickets. or a free meal. or a cd. and u just need to answer one question to enter into the draw... and i got a call yesterday evening. and i actually won a pretty decent prize... a night at the Sheraton on Park hotel in the city with champagne on arrival and breakfast for 2!! yeah.....wow and it wasn't a scam or anything. no fine prints blah blah. they're gonna send me a voucher for me to redeem my prize in the next 6 months... this should be pretty romantic treat for me and my hunnie... weeee...

Addicted

Eeeks... just got broadband at home ...and think i'm back to being addicted to the net...oops.
spent the whole day surfing and watching Heroes.... woohoo love that show, but should control myself so i can wait and watch it with my hunnie.

Played mah jong for the first time in years... and nothing has changed, i still suck! hahha. think i lost the most in the game, but that's ok. our total bet was $5 and even then we didn't even bothered to count the winnings. it was all just for fun. but then i was so out of it during some games, i would put out a tile and totally declared it to be something else entirely..hehehe... oops. so if the others weren't paying attention i coulda suckered them in...but unfortunately they were paying attention....darn it

Can't wait for Chinese new year... woohoo...amazingly the first person to wish me a happy chinese new year was an irish guy...hmmm well no wonder, he got the dates all wrong.. it's not til next week! hahah. here i was doubting myself if the new years came and i didn't get any heads up about it from my family.

random pics

B&W

stole a pic from Mkyboo, dinner the other nite with bunch of old uni frens i was like the only other NON singaporean in the group.

Almost Busted!

Went down to the country's capitol to visit my man, since haven't got much to do, and figured it'll be a good chance for me to get some insight into what living with him would be like. should that ever happen in the future... but bwoy, let's make that a very very distant future for now.... He's so...o stubborn, things are only done his way. grrrr... and complains i leave my hair everywhere... i'm sure he sheds just as many, but just coz his own are short and blonde and mine are long and dark so obviously mine are much more visible, and he gets miserable about it...*rolls eyes* yeah well whatever. tuff for him

Since there wasn't much going on there and he doesn't have internet at his place, figured i'll go check out the national museum, since they suppose to have this wicked exhibition on Egyptian stuff... but think the ad i saw on TV must have been ages ago, coz didn't see anything remotely exotic there. end up just checking my email while i'm there.

I opened up the email i got recently from my fren RC, she was showing me these fantastic pictures she took for this other girl the other day. pictures look amazing. problem is i accidentally clicked on the first one and it opened up in a window on it's own. all blown up and all... and the model was N-A-K-E-D.... and i was at the NATIONAL LIBRARY!!! OMG, what if they think i was checking out porn on the public terminal.... eeeeks. how was i to explain myself??? i quickly closed the pop up window and looked around me fugitively.....wheee dont think anyone noticed me...

Finally finished level one in Salsa, woo hoo, so hopefully when i do my spins now, i dont end up in some random's guys lap or nearly knocking out someone's eyes, (these have yet to happen but are amongst my worst fears in Salsa) though whenever i try to do some of those "style" moves... while do the hair whipping or booty popping thing... i just end up looking totally retarded.. and this is not just my humble opinion ( i think i look hot! duh, but from my Salsa partner...grrrr....)
definately need more practice in that area.

Oops. you caught me!

Had my first meeting at work last Monday night, my boss was away and I think
i handled things pretty alright. Meeting was kinda late. started at 19:30 and finished around 22:00. man i was so tired by the end. Basically i had to set up things and make sure things run smoothly throughout the meeting and also take down minutes.... ahem....typing along as they talk... but bwoy these docs just go on and on about stuff... and the majority of the time i was really clueless about what they're yakking about. thank goodness the meeting was audio recorded so I an listen back to it later on and fix up my minutes. coz basically i was typing someone said they'll do soemthing by...blah blah. and someone else reported something will be ready by sometime.. blah blah blah. i just had to record the jist of things and then fix it up later.. but then when it was time for the doc beside me to talk. and i typed the "above". she CHECKED on me! holy C#$P!!! and then offered to fill in the "blanks" for me... Gawd i swear even though i never blush. my face was pretty red.... hahahahah.. oooops
