Drink Drank Drunk

I started drinking recently,

ya, 25, and only then I started drinking.

Didnt like the smell, I’m very sensitive to smell.

Like when my dad drinks, Probably a can, walk past and I will be able to smell it.

I have a very stereotypical mindset ba. Drinking = Being Drunk.

Then comes in the idea of
speaking things that should be kept inside,
vomiting,
being molested.

I dont ever want to be in a state of not knowing what I’m doing.

Met a group of people that are very into drinking, then began the thought that I really should learn how to drink for the sake of social drinking.
Kept pushing it back.

Then got invited to a wine tasting event.
That triggered the whole drink at night before sleeping thing.

Theres alot of health benefits to it in case you didnt know. 🙂

Some of the things I’ve learnt n am applying for myself, if it’s a day of lack of water, didn’t drink enough plain water, don’t drink, cos hangover will come back with a vengence.

N like on mother’s day, we had durian, hell no am I going to touch the wine.

Be a responsible drinker. 🙂

P/S: I know I’m using the wrong cup.

Colors in the skies

Been passing by a wide-patch-of-grass area recently and have been given visual treats 🙂


Nice hor?

The old man’s real cool

Why?
Cos it was abt to pour and he still carried on.

Cool huh?

The skies been extreme beautiful the past few days, Caught these on the 30th Apr 2010

Was on my way to choir practise when I notice this across the train station. I was on the train, quickly got off and shot the photo

Had to go couldnt get off the platform to take a better photo.
Stood there and caught the following

My fingers got itchy and I clicked the red button.
Its a short 26sec clip thats taken along the industrial side from Kranji to Yew Tee on the train

Probably its just me, I find that the sights looks plain but nice! its not like the norm that you’ll see.

Take a deep breathe and count to 10 with me…
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10…

We’ve been too busy.

TigerHead

My Tigerhead has arrived! Did I mention that?

I love the quality, I love the thickness of it.

Check out the needlework and the fabric inside. *probably is common fabric though.

I am so loving it, and I’m receiving real good respond on it. 😀
A very good investment I would say.

😀

Marilyn’s black too. looks super good in it. *at least I feel.

but…
😀

I’ve been taking photos of Renae with it. 😀 Think shes intimidated by the Tiger Head. 😀

Since I’ve already spent on it, should I add crystals on it?
hmm…

hmm…
probably not hor?

sunburnt~

Think alot of us noticed my new page “EPS Sports Day 2010” 🙂
So sorry that it is currently password protected. Its actually meant for the school website, so need approval from No.1 before I can host it up over there and here.

On the side note, because of shooting for that event. I am horribly sunburnt. Totally reminded me of my Malacca trip except this time, it isnt the Polo-T burnt. 😀 Its a TATTOO burnt. 😀
YEs,
Ms Ng has a tattoo!

Super Sunburnt I tell u…
Reminds me of him:

Anpanman! 😀
Think he has the chao da version. 😀

Will jiggle when the Sports Day entry is release 🙂 Think Mascots and Lots of Gif on runners!

On the side note, was force to eat humble pie today.
Had to learn from someone whos… oki, not the typical kind of person I would learn from.
1. Overdo the diction part
2. Not good enough at spotting mistakes
3. Use all the technical terms and jargon assuming that the people knows.

anyway, as it is la,
Humility is never humility is tested.
Loyalty is never loyalty until tested.

God seeks the willing, not the able.

>_<

Better days ahead!
Hallelujah!

Thanks for coming by~

Baked Potato

🙂
I Love Baked Potato 🙂

Wanted to go down to Kichn to have the Chicken Ham and Cheese Roll but thought the timing would be tight and there’ll be things I wouldnt be able to do.

🙂
So heres to share~

Theres plenty of Baked Potato recipe online,  so do what you can with what you have. Following recipe is boring sometimes.

Was thinking about the “sauce” hmm…
I never like plain mayo, so I asked on twitter for recommendation, and the Dirty Stall mention butter…

Hmm…

I like them cheesy 🙂 I like strong taste. But I know I dont wanna spend Cos I wont be using them any time soon… so… not gonna get cheese spread.

I decided on buying mayo alone.
Like it has always been, I play around according to intuition.

Lets begin~

I use to think normal potatos (like those used for normal chinese cooking) are oki,
but I came to the understanding that no, we need to get those white meat kind. So I used Australian Baby Potato.
Poke them through and through with a fork, that way, they’ll bake real well.

Then glaze them and salt them a little.

350 f and dump them in for 1hour.
Yes, 1 hour… *Oh The Electricity Bill!!!
Thats why I baked so many at one time. 😉

Hey Hey, now the “sauce”

I know, it doesnt look that fantastic.
But come on, show me a mayo that looks good…


Thats whats inside.
Cheese, Onion, Honey Baked Ham and Raisin.

Cheese, thats what I want.

Onion, it brings in the sweetness. (use medium sized onion)
FYI: small onions smell great after deep frying, medium and big ones taste sweet.
Dont put in too much Onion, cos if its too much, it wont be sweet anymore, it’ll literally be ONION.

Honey Baked Ham, 😀 no bacon, so I used ham. 🙂

Raisin, 😀 happen to see them in the fridge. Its the same idea, the hint of sweetness.

One hour later: *Ding!

A short short while later: *Ding!

Pss… if u want your greens to look gorgeous after boiled, give them a dash of cold water or tap water. 🙂
It’ll help retain the color and probably the vitamins too. 🙂

and that makes a very Happy Ms Ng. 🙂

Renae (Hamster)

Went to the doctors the other day and had to wait for a very very long time.

Me and my itchy backside decided to step into the Pet shop next door.

Lo and Behold…
I saw these:

AWwwWwwWwwww It is so cute I tell you…

That is the beginning of my Hamster adventure. 😀

After chatting with a friend, realize those in the photo were Dwarf hamster.
I love the 2 colors, like when its sleeping, the breathing, u can see the rise and the fall… *I am so stolen away

Tweeted about it to a friend whom I know rears hamster, and he hooked me up and recommended me the Syrian species.

Fast forward to a week later, @sidneyreuben brought me down to meet @hamsterhoarder

and I bought Renae!

*yes, photo out of focus, the photos will be better as the days come by.

She’s being described as Long Hair Satin Cream Girl
Birthdate: 12 February 2010

Co-incidentally, while I was on way to meet Reuben, I read Miao’s blog. He did a video on his hamsters.
Now then do I know oh, those 2 are hamsters! 😀
