I love my food!

27 April 2010 - Tuesday

2. I've cooked like I've never cooked before..
I love food and hate exercising. A bad combo.. by normal calculations, I should have weigh 85kg and have problem getting out of bed most mornings and chomp down 6 meals a day.

In the past 1 month, Jem have been making pizzas and trying his hand on RABBIT Paella (which didn't turn out soo well.. so i guess the rabbit died for nothing. I have been making Thai Fish Cake (I found fish paste in Ly Thanh! God I love that shop) and it was pretty easy to make except for the fact that my fish cake is not as read as those you find in Thai Restaurant! Jem says I should add Tomato Paste.. but I am doubtful

I also made Thunder Tea Rice.. to the uninitiated, this is a very traditional Hakka Meal consists solely on vegetables and normally consumed on the 7th day of Lunar New Year. It is very easy make but preparations are super tedious!

So I called y grandma and told her what I was cooking and ask for cooking tips... SHE LAUGHED AT ME! "Hahahahah... what kinda Thunder Tea Rice are you making?!?!?!?!" That hurts... :)

So here are some of the dishes I have been cooking.. everyone who has done a webcam commented on how fat I look now.. damn it...


- The Chilli Crab Sauce that we bought from Singapore is awesome! Frederica Chilli Crab Sauce - well worth the effort of lugging it back!


- So the husband missed CNY and here is our home made yee sang! Of course we had TONS of salmon...


- This is the traditional Hakka Rice, there is a pretty decent version at the foodcourt in Vivocity!

I am back!!!!!

26 April - Monday - 10.57am

I have been lazy. I mentioned in my very first post that I will stop blogging every now and then as I do have a lot more important things to do.... like farming. Now that I run 3 farms... It takes up all my blogging time!

Anyway, I am back for today and there are loads to catch up on.

1 - Je suis etudiante francais...
I am now a French student. I go to school Mon - Friday from 3pm - 6pm. My first lesson is all about answering questions like "What is your name? What is your family name? When are you born? Where do you come from? etc etc etc"

Then we start with the basis "Qu'est-ce que cest?" (Pronounced as: Kas Ke Say = what is this?)

Right after that my brain starts crumbling... a gender is assigned to every bloody noun imaginable... Pencil, Pen, Book, Bench, Ceiling, Floor are all MALE while Table, Chair, Tie, Watch, Clock are all FEMALE!

How am I supposed to remember the gender to every bloody noun?

Then we move on to body parts.... head, ears, cheeks, mount, shoulders, chest, waist, hand, leg, ankle are all FEMALE while eyes, elbow, arm, fingers, knee etc are all MALE! Double bloody hell...

Our professor is very very smart.. it is almost he memorised what we are bad in and kept drilling each and everyone of us on our weakness. My Achilles heel is the FRENCH ALPHABETS... G is pronounced as J... and J is pronounced as G.... R is the R with spitting sound... and H is pronounced as USH... K is Ka...
