Making Sushi

Just last month, BF and I went over to my cousin's house to learn how to make sushi. I saw from photos of her sushi making and she offered to give me tutorial lesson.

We first stopped by Jurong point to buy the ingredients at the NTUC. Then she started to explain the steps on how to mix the ingredients together. I took them down in writing as I tend to be forgetful. After cousin demonstrated how to roll the sushi, BF had his hands to try it.


I am better than BF because I spread the rice evenly. That's what my cousin said girls tend to be more meticulous in such areas. haha my strong point. :)


This cold tofu is the most easiest way to make.


A simple and healthy lunch. As it was too much to fill our glutted stomachs, we tabao some sushi back for BF's parents. Thanks cousin Rochelle for her time to guide us.


We have better start planning a sushi-making day in order to recount what we have learnt!

Cooking time!

Last month had a DIY cooking session at Des and Rain's house. Our dinner spread was penne pasta, fried Shitake mushrooms and prawns salad in a shotglass. I have to conclude this: It was a good start for the four of us though there are some pointers to take note next time like chilling the prawns salad longer prior serving and frying the shitake mushrooms in deep oil to achieve the best results! Well, more DIY dinners to come! One day, I'll enjoy cooking for my spouse.

Our talented chef at work - Mr Lie!!

Dinner spread for the night! Yummy - I would love to whip up some more dishes again!

P.S: I still have some photos for the sushi-making session at my cousin's place yet to upload. Will do so soon!

New desktop

I can't wait to lay my hands on a new desktop. Yes, I decided on getting a desktop, not a laptop. I prefer to work with a desktop when I am using photoshop. As for the time beginning, I spent weekends at BF's house and try as much as I can afford the time to edit and upload the photos. That's why you notice I haven't been active in blogging with photos!You will see me blogging soon once I get my new desktop. I promise!
Work has been pretty quiet this week and I'm grateful for it. I hate rushed orders :X
Yesterday I accompanied my brother to 313 Somerset. He wanted to get a pressie for a girl (not his gf btw) and wanted a shopping companion. After visiting Joop and three storey high @ Forever 21, we decided on a beige dress at Joop and I bought a similar one for myself too! hehe. We also ordered a petite cake from icing room.

We had chat over dinner at The Handburger at basement two. The bill sum up to $30.
I ordered the chicken caesar, tasted good and bro had the duck confit which isn't impressive.

The day I had my lousy mood

I couldn't have a good night sleep yesterday, wonder if it's the afternoon nap who caused it :(

When I didn't have a min of 6 hrs sleep, I always feel grouchy. But it doesn't happen all the time of course. But because my menses happened to come for the fourth day with three ulcers in my mouth. Then my mind started to pick on everything. My slow startup of laptop, slow upload of outlook, seeing hundred of emails, those emails which my salesman fwd me to quote that he doesn't seem to bother at all, nuisance phonecalls, blah blah blah.. even cranky jokes made by my colleagues that I felt so irritated I can't smile like I used to. I just can't wait to get the hell out of here and head home.

An ex-colleague of mine changed my mind about heading back to my sack. I agreed to meet him for dinner as I have not seen him since his wedding early this year. Being friends with someone who has been through hardships has enlighten me in a way or so. He gives me his rightful opinion which I find it reasonable enough to understand. It's appeasing to know there are people who care for me and to share their true live stories to me.

How many of us have true friends that we can count on for life? Do cherish the ones you met for life is indeed short. I'm beginning to feel I'm ageing as I'm going 30 next year. And I seem to have more worries than before. Why is that so?
