Tis the season to be..

Jolly~! Fah lalala la.. Fah lalala...

=) Sorry I haven't been updating, just so lazy to write about stuffs that I've been telling people about.

So my 1 week of term break from school is over and I'm back with 2 new subjects, Genetics and Physiology. So far so good, but the class schedule is kinda fucked up. But it's a good thing we have very nice and flexible teachers who are able to accomodate us working people and change the assignment datelines around a little.

Been out quite a bit, hanging and catching up with friends. I'm also very content with my life now, mainly because I have a special someone who is the light of my life, and also because my chapter with Mat is finally closed. Much as I want to feel happy because he is having such a hard time, I really can't. I'm totally over the fact that he'd rather choose some girl who treats him like shit, over me.

It's a good thing he did that though. Cause I'm much more certain about my life and just loving every day as it comes. I've made a lot more new friends, grown much more confident and started to re-aquaint with all my old ones. I am proud to say, I have fulfilled 3 outta 5 of my half year resolutions. =)
And these 3 are: (from this post)
2. Study hard and be one of the top 3 students in my foundation class.
3. Reconnect with old friends and make lots of new ones.
5. Finding who I am and what my limits are!

I'm taking up Thai Boxing (Muay Thai) in a bid to get fit and be more killer-like.. =P Going to sign up for the class this coming weekend.

Anyways, that's about it for now. Happy holidays everyone!

I really need to..

I have a lot going on my mind... Things have been happening and yea..

I really should blog, but just been really lazy..

To me, it's a perfect combination.

Thanks so much for the tea, Anh... =)

It's strange but that's exactly what I would get for myself. =) Now to get a pretty teapot so I can brew tea in. It's really yummy btw..

Halo..

I should go back to finishing my essay.. But here I am procrastinating.. Anyways, this song is nice. Reminds me of someone I used to be with. But now, I dun need to wear his halo anymore, cos I have someone else whose halo fit me just perfect. =)

Lyrics:

I can make love feel just like heaven (oh)
I can be a little devil in bed and (oh)
Even clean and cook your breakfast
But I'm not perfect, I

I can take off when need your time (oh)
I can cheer lead for you from the sideline (oh)
Whisper in your ear so divine
But I'm not perfect, I

Hope you can forgive me baby
For all of the mistakes I've made (ah)
Be patient with me, baby
I'm just tryin' to make my way (oh)
I'm not a superhero
Sorry I couldn't save the day (ah)
Believe me when I say

That I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I couldn't be your
Angel, Angel, Angel, Angel
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I didn't stroke your
Ego, Ego, Ego, Oh No
I was with him but I guess I wasn't able
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your halo
Halo, Halo

I know how to put your mind at ease and (oh)
I can dress you for all four seasons (oh)
Surprise you for no reason
But I'm not perfect, no

I'm on my knees and pray for our love (oh)
Promise not to let anything come between us (oh)
Could you let us fall apart all because
I'm not perfect, I

Hope you can forgive me baby
For all of the mistakes I've made (ah)
Be patient with me, baby
I'm just tryin' to make my way (oh)
I'm not a superhero
Sorry I couldn't save the day (ah)
Believe me when I say

That I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I couldn't be your
Angel, Angel, Angel, Angel
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I didn't stroke your
Ego, Ego, Ego, Oh No
I was with him but I guess I wasn't able
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your halo
Halo, Halo

Now it's like you never knew my heart
I swear sometimes you are
So hard on me cause I'm not everything
That you want me to be
I'm so sorry
I didn't want you to see me this way
I'm so sorry
I didn't mean to fall from grace
I didn't mean to fall from grace

I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I couldn't be your
Angel, Angel, Angel, Angel
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your
Halo, Halo, Halo, Halo
Sorry I didn't stroke your
Ego, Ego, Ego, Oh No
I was with him but I guess I wasn't able
I'm sorry I couldn't wear your halo
Halo, Halo

Friday Cookout..

I was bored and it has been a while since I had time all to myself with no classes in the evening. So I did what I love best and that was to cook!

I made the Dutch Winter Stew from Dutch Girl Cooking, with a few variations made. We don't have celeriac here in Singapore, I think I used turmeric powder instead of curry powder and also I used normal paprika instead of the sweet one. The whole thing took about 2 hours to make from scratch and it was really good. I think I will add half curry and half turmeric powder the next time I make thing. Also, rubbing the meat with coarse mustard gives it a whole new depth to the taste.

Here are some pics I took.


Ingredients used.
Leek
Potatoes
Carrots
Mushrooms
Garlic
Onions
Thyme (I used dry cos there weren't any fresh ones available)
Paprika
Turmeric powder
Bay Leaf
Beef shin
Salt and pepper


The meat, cut into cubes and marinated with salt, pepper and coarse mustard.


Melting some butter in olive oil, so the butter doesn't burn.


Browning the meat.


Onions added.


Carrots goes in next.


Add in some beer, room temperature.


Then some beef stock (I used chicken cause I realised I did not have any beef stock cubes at home).

Simmer at a very low heat for about an hour. Add potatoes and leeks and cook for another 30 mins you have yourself a yummy hearty stew... =)

Sorry I forgot to take picture of the end product, was just too hungry for that. Plus I had a movie date with someone. =P

Thats about it I guess.. Dun really know what to say but enjoy your Sunday everyone!

I love you..

The easiest and the hardest 3 little words to say to someone.

I've never in my life heard someone say that with so much feelings, honesty and sincerity.

And I believe you without a doubt....

For I feel that way too..

I love you. <3
