Dedicate to you, N

My Precious...

* Smooch my Smoochie! *

Smoochie won himself "the cutest pet" at Uberture and featured at Clubpets' magazine 2 years back with this photo. He is such a sweet boy that his previous owner didn't know how to appreciate him but thanks to his stupidity, or else we won't have the chance to adopt* him. YUP, he was a 3kg puppy when we adopted* him home from ALL, after some 'legal agreement'. We were told that the stupid fellow chased him out of the house because he got retrenched. See! A-hole right? As agreed, we can only bring him home after his sterilisation at Mt.P, so he was consider 'not complete' when he went for the Pure Breed Non Reg. Competition. Hahaha but still got consolation prize.

* Word of the day : ADOPT

1. To take into one's family through legal means and raise as one's own child.
2.
a. To take and follow (a course of action, for example) by choice or assent: adopt a new technique.
b. To take up and make one's own: adopt a new idea.
3. To take on or assume: adopted an air of importance.
4. To vote to accept: adopt a resolution.
5. To choose as standard or required in a course: adopt a new line of English textbooks.

Sex And The City

A note from my husband...

And they said we need more babies in Singapore.
But we're not given a conducive environment for that to happen.

Take a recent incidence, just today afternoon.
I was making love to my wife and there was this guy going on top of his lung...

"Gu ladio, dian xi gi, gu bo zua!!"
(Old radio, television, old newspaper!!)


My wife is already complaining that we only make love once a week over weekend.
Now this guy doesn't seem to want his weekend off too. Perhaps adoption might work for us.

Health at Work

When I received Email from Nuffnang about this upcoming Advertisement --->HPB Ambush Asia. I didn't really take note what was it until 12midnight.

I saw the advertisement, yeah, top right hand corner, below the birdie. Like scary movie preview, right? Scare the hell out of me! Then I CLICK IT of course.

LOL but they are true stories happening around us. Especially the first story, I was ::almost:: like that. Mistakes 'pop up' every 2-3 monthly and I admit that I nearly drown into the pool of depression due to high level of 'peer pressure'.

Thank GOD I am out of there and protected now. Hahaha

The 6th Prize

Hahaha, yeah is $300 worth of Tangs shopping voucher. Ben attended Autodesk Retro Night Party and came back just before midnight with an envelope.

" Honey, this is for you !"

Lots of smooches to hubby! I am going to CK Tang ...see my wishlist, guess which one will be strike off soon?

Retro night, wonder how he looked like yesterday night? Stay tune for photos..clue: Spec and a bow *giggling*

Starwood Preferred Guest

Signed up this during our stay in St. Regis Shanghai and today, Ben recieved this. Yeah, the card and some brochure. So glad that St. Regis has finally come to Singapore, the service is very good, highly recommended !~

Working?

I don't know why? I am feeling a little bit lonely when I wake up in the morning these 2 days. I know he kisses me *twice* before he leaves the house daily but I kinda miss those days when we spent at least 40 minutes every morning, gossiping, holding hands, travelling to work together.

I know I know, it was merely 2 months since I've stopped working. I am not trying to say that I am sick becoming a stay home wife unless we have a child but ttc is easier to said than done. Is kinda upset and feeling hopeless that I am depending on him.

"Is ok wamee, let me support you and you just go ahead and do everything you want.."

"Can I go work? Maybe part-time?"

"No! I don't want you to work for other people. You love to bake, right?"

"Yes honey but I can't be baking everyday..."

"We will talk about this later, k?"

3rd Visit to M'sia High Com

Look at the time!

Yup, was 4 plus in the morning and we were on our way to Jervois Road. This was the THIRD time Ben came to the Malaysia High Com, trying to renounce his Malaysia Citizen and me, to be supportive, was there with him till late morning.

You must be wondering, why did we need to be there so early?

004R---> that's our Q no!

FYI, the first guy in the Q came at 4:30am and their daily quota for renouncement ---->20. Sad to know that most people there came more than 3 times for common reasons! First, Wrong photos background, it has to be blue and wtf, most photo booths in Singapore don't have blue background and the only booth that has got blue background? You Bet! Is in the High Com itself. Second, missing of old passports. Then how? They expect us to go back to M'sia and make a report and come back with a Letter of Report loss of old passport! And the list goes on...

All right! We will be back on the 23rd Jan to collect the letter and will go to ICA to register his Singapore Citizenship.

The Blog Readability Test

Really??!!!???

“ 这个世界变了样！发生在金馬崙高原

我在 佳礼 看到这篇独家新闻。 看完了真的要吐了！天啊！ 不只是中国才有黑心食品啊，这回可是远在天边，近在眼前了！！！

" 曾和家人到金馬崙高原遊玩,当時的時间是中午 3点多..我们在巴刹一帶逛逛看看, 当时有很多一档一档的小贩在做生意, 顿時我的視線被某一档小贩的 "奇景" 吸引住了,這一个档口是贩卖炸食物的档口... 一大锅"熱勝腾" 的油...竟然有一个装5 公升的空油桶"切成一半" 在熱油锅中慢慢的在溶化！当时我看到整个人都傻了！还以為那17..8.岁的女孩子不小心把油桶掉進锅里去？可是看她用一双筷子把油桶翻耒翻去的！看情形不是不小心掉了油桶 ,很自然的赶紧叫家人一起看！

這時那个女孩子和坐在旁边的双親就把眼光转过來？以那种" 惡意"的眼神盯着我们？？天啊！果真是以空油桶溶化了炸出来的食物当街卖啊！ 难怪現代的人得了這么多"無名病 "啊！"

回应这张贴的人，很多都知道真有此事，比如炸小葱是用吸水管（ straw）炸的，还有plastic bag用来炸香蕉。他们在油里参了 PLASTIC，原因是要那些食物放久了不会软绵绵。不会软绵绵的原因是因为PLASTIC被溶化再硬固的关系。贴里还有一人做了实验， 试验结果如下试验了!!!

两公升油 500ml矿泉水瓶一只
没加料（矿泉水瓶）时炸一次 - 炸出来的有点硬, 但很快软绵绵!!
加料（矿泉水瓶）时再炸一次- 出来是比KFC的还脆!!! 敢咬不敢吞

我亲爱的同胞们，

请你们不好再买香蕉炸，咖哩puff， Keropok Lekor ，或是炸鸡饭 了。大姐一吃了喉咙就不舒服，应该是这原因吧！以后要吃什么，还是叫ohbin 炸给你们吃比较安全。我明天就来去买香蕉！！！我恳请你们花点时间，去爬完这张贴吧，爬完后，我打包单，你们一定不会再吃街边的炸食物了。

不只是金马伦的有问题，原来这是他们的secret recipe 家传秘方。我看十摊，十一摊有加料啦！那摊主不是很笨就是胆大包天！不会在家里先把桶丢进油里，竟然笨到在众目睽睽之下，做这些丧尽天良的事。真的他妈的!”

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS TRUE!!! Got this from Email today. BTY, I seldom take fried food outside and I shall advise all my dearest family members and friends : Healthy Lifestyle is Very Important !

Petai

So malay huh.. fried some petai tonight

pouring the 'asam water'

Our 臭豆 for dinner!

And mum's 南乳焖菜

Beef Rendang..I sukaaaa....

Beef cubes! Saw them at AMK hub today while shoppin' with parents. We are hunting for new fridge...

Big side track right? But still need to eat what..

Simple recipe, lazy bum can go supermarket to buy ready made rendang sauce.

Beef in cubes & curry leaves

Stir fried our homemade chilli with rendang sauce

Add curry leaves and stir fried till you can smell the fragrance

Then add in the beef

Stir fried...stir fried...

Add in fresh milk/evaporated milk

Add in little water and let it boils

Transfer into a pot and continue to cook

Using the invertor cooker, I started it with No.6, once boiled, decrease to No.3, 2nd boiled, decrease to No.2.

Can scoop up once it is soften

Served..
