What's been cooking at..

Mom is once again in her entrepreneur mood swings. It has left me and my usually over energised siblings drained to accomodate her cute orders. Who in their right mind could ever say no to mom especially when she calls us by our nicknames.. (mom and her cuteness is much dangerous than a newly sharpen knife)

Shah is never safe when mom gives him Mommie Hugs.. ahahah

So after dallying and wrangling up my men into their correct mindset, I gave them an off day yesterday along with their hard-earned salary which I finally manage to squeeze from my main-con. Then set off back to JB just in time to buy mom her new Moulinex blender along with the chopper. The old cranky blender decided that it's service for the past 3 years is more than it can handle... hehehe


Then I had to lend my expertise to my tired siblings in draining the blended pineapple puree (we are making the traditional pineapple tarts). That standing and draining took up 2+hrs (we had to blend a total of 30pcs of large Morris pineapples). By the time I was done, it was 5pm, time to prepare for dinner or aka break-fast.


Since the cute old grannie was too tired and almost indispose, I was in-charge for the cooking which I was more than happy accomodate. Microwave steamed Tenggiri fish, Broccoli-Tomato-mushroom soup, Sambal sotong Kering and Kerang Rebus with Rice was ready by 6.30pm just in time for my younger sister to take care of the drinks. The menu was just nice for my anti-veggie siblings who hates vegetables. Since the steamed fish is a dry dish, they had no choice but to make do with the vegetable soup (the recipe is attached below).

I don't understand why Ayu insisted on wearing a sarong over her pants..

By the time it was 7pm, my back was almost at the brink of breaking. But at least, my family and my dad especially was pleased by the cooking. After dinner, I rallied my tired but re-energised siblings in helping mom in the cooking of the drained pineapples puree. As the picutre depicts, there are times we fooled around like idiots and times whereby sheer physical power is needed to stir the concoction constantly. That, I give the credit to my beloved youger brother, Shahrul. Without him, we women would be dead. The mixture once reaches the cooked stage mixed with sugar, is as good as making Dodol.. I don't even need to go to the gym to get muscles.. ahaha..




The head chef, mom, officially considers the pineapple ready at 11.30pm, which was almost 6hrs of cooking from 4pm. Although bone weary, the moment we received Mommy Hugs/Kisses and large pints of Moccha, the tension just simply fade away..










Ps.. Arul, since you requested, I'm putting up almost all of the pics we took that I think doesn't make me look silly and Ayu, I'm not making the tarts so you can eat until your stomach is full.. You kids owe me an ice-cream! ahaha

Grr..

I am pissed.. I'm frustrated.. I'm hungry.. tired.. sweaty and feasibly needs REST!!!!

Can someone just chase these idiots who are demanding every single drop of my energy away? I'm tempted to chase them off with a butter knife and brandishing my overweight cat on them. Its almost 10pm and I'm still up on my work which started at 8am. The dumb paper work is not even half done.

I want my shower!!! My fuse is only a few milimeter away from being shorted out.

Grr.. Shoo!! Don't disturb me you idiots!!

I want a good long cry....

Stress..

9th September 07

I'm still freezing mad about yesterday's meeting with my main-con. The idiotic demands they have requested is totally absurb. How could they request 35% of my total contract exclusive of the $50k which they will be taking for the supply of materials to my company. It's not at all agreeable to me and my company. If I were to accept it, I'll be left with only $15k which my salary and my other personnels' have accounted for.

Bull shit. I'm thinking of leaving the bloody project and let them take over after I get the $35k. It's really making me lose over my sleep..

Haiz.. This morning I happen to chance over the gossip paper, Metro. A particular news caught my attention. A woman was left on the altar. Its really sad and I totally feel disgusted by the groom's action. The bride's parents have even tried helping the groom on cashing out the dowry by either letting him pay half of the amount which is USD2000 or if he still can't afford it by the wedding day, the groom can just show a cheque with the said amount (just for the show) even if there is not enough cash in the account.

And yet the heartless coward didn't comply and instead took the easy way out, not even attendind the wedding at all. Truly if I ever to happen such guys like him, I'm more than happy to brain him with my umbrella.

I'm just hoping that will never happen to me... Scary to even think..

And can someone tell me what has happened to my whacko of a brother?? I've been trying to ask how he's been... that old man really worries me at times...

Happy Teachers' Day

2nd September 2007,

Again, I'm late in updating the weird stuffs I've been up to. Anyway before I completely forget, I'd like to formally wish all the teachers a very Happy Teachers' Day, pardon my belated wishes. In Singapore, the 1st of September is a day to remember the hardship and dedication of our hardworking teachers, regardless of the nerves-wreckage the students have haunted upon them.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to wish the teachers who have tolerated my manipulative ways, weird impromptu Hawaiian Dance in the middle of classes which was still being conducted (blame that on the caffeine.. hehehe) and whatever-not I have freaked them out with..

Personally I'd like to give sincerest appreciation to these teachers:

Rulang Primary School (1992-1998):

• Mdm Low
• Miss Beh (Now known as Mdm Beh)
• Mdm Mafaaton
• Mrs Liew

Boon Lay Secondary School (1998-2001)

• Mr Lee (D&T teacher)
• Mr Ismail
• Ms Wong Bek Wan
• Ms Sandra (Thank you for standing up for me!!)
• My Sec 3 &; 4 form teacher.. I can't remember her name; Sorry!
• Mr Ang (Take out your "Law-ling Block")
• Mr Raja, disciplinary officer (No doubt you grate my teeth at times, you still have my respect)

ITE Dover -Electronics Dept (2002-2004)

• Mr Peck (Digital Electronics Principles.. You drilled binary codes into my brains; Thanks!)
• Mr Henry Ng (Micro P, Calculus, Project Yr 2.. Thanks for your dedication in making me belief that numbers are not a nightmare! Really love you and the free pizzas, hehehe)
• Mr Chu ( Webpage Design, Project Yr 2.. Thank you for your belief and support in me)
• Mr Lee (Fundementals of Communication.. I now understand the full fundementals of RF stuffs which you were trying your best in making me understand)

To those whom I had miss, don't mistaken that I've not appreciated the effort you guys had poured out.

Back to my usual rantings. I've conceded in making my friend a pic for him. But no way am I gonna take out the MRT pic of him that I've posted previously in the older post. Give and take hunny.. FYI to all single and available gals, he's still single and looking for a perfect woman. So drop him a line!!

And I also took a pic of myself at Heren B1 with a cow!! hehehe.. Lisa, I took a picture with a cow.. ahaha.. But anyway it wasn't me who take the pic of me, so I place the blame of me looking fat fully on Fazly's shoulder. *sticks out her tounge* See how nice the pic Fazly's in when I took the pic?

I also have a few more pics so post but my handphone is too far away from me to bluetooth it to my comp.. I'm just being plain lazy in climbing the stairs to get to my phone.
