告别二〇〇七

我在二〇〇七年做的最后一件事... ...

吃半锅炒饭。

Carbonara.. Now u see it... Well u dun...

After watching "I am Legend", acting on impulse, my bf and i decided to cook our own dinner tonite. I have been toking abt trying to make the carbonara after seeing how simple it was form Jamie Oliver's show... So out of memory, we went to NTUC supermarket, grabbed a couple of ingredients and head straight home to fire up the stove.

As simple as it looks on tv... within less than an hour, we finish preparing and cooking our bacon and mushroom carbonara... And it taste pretty decent too!! Though i found it a little too eggy... while my partner tot it was too creamy... Basically it was a little rich and i would say it is best served warm. But tt's coming from 2 person who actually preferred tomato based pasta sauce in the 1st place. We just tried carbonara My brothers found it okay... Maybe the portion was a little too much. we cooked for 2 but i think there was enough for 3... regular eaters... Still, it was rather successful, for cooking something without a proper recipe... i din even really know how much of wat to put in... haha...it all by "feeling"...

To accompany the carbonara, we also bot a bottle of Hardy's Chardonnay... It's pretty easy to drink and fruity too... finished the entire bottle in a meal. hehe...

It was only at the end of the satisfying meal that i found out in horror that i forgot to take a picture of my beautiful carbonara.. So as u can see... i can only show u the empty plates and bottle of our little cooking adventure... But i hope in the near future, i can supplement with a picure of my second attempt and i would like to add a grill salmon fillet on top of the pasta... hmm...

Financial Summary...

I keep a spreadsheet of my monthly expenses... Well its sort of the downloaded transaction history from my bank account. But i tidy it up and update to my savings graph to track how much i spend and save monthly...

Its the yr end now and my accounts... looks bad... over spending... credit card payments not meant for pple of my kind of income... My whole looking-for-a-new-career ordeal made me suffer quite a bit financially... I lost most of my savings from my prevous 2 yrs of work.... IT SUCKS!!!... Din really felt the pinch till now....

Den one has to ask the question.... Was the search for a new career all worth it?

In a way... I had to do it.. i would regret and be miserable if i din even try. But do i think i have tried hard enough... nope... So what did i gain?

Definately lessons learnt, I learnt about other jobs.. i learnt being jobless... I learnt getting interviews and jobs... and i learnt not getting jobs... Most of all, i learnt about myself...

The learning goes on... But change is constant. Have i found a career? Still need some time to tell... There is a whole new year ahead for more experiences...

But at the moment, i should be looking for more money... :P I need to start saving more... for more rainydays...

Who Killed My Mouse...?

A Tribute to my Beloved Mouse

He was a special one... I still remember the day i bot him...

It was after being handed over a mobile workstation at work, and the mouse tt came along with it was not fit for human use. (It is supposedly white... but instead it was suspiciously "off-white". I tot the brown scroller gave the "off white" mouse a vintage touch.... But to my horror, the sticky touch and clay-like rub-offs gave it away. I dun even want to think abt where the poor mouse had been to...) So at lunch i bot Him at a PC shop in Causeway Pt. I chose him cause he was simple and cheap.. ok... i was attracted to his resemblance to an apple mouse.

When i got back to my office and plug him into my lappie... Unlike other optical rodents, he glowed in blue... a bit "beng" but stylo man!... and it was den i know i had made the rite choice...

He was all i wanted and even more. The clicking was smooth and the tactile feedback was just nice... I can feel my single and double clicks perfectly... never having to second guess myself. He was quiet... i could play minesweeper with him all day and not drive my neighbours crazy with "click... click click... click" The scroller is CLEAN and smooth... no irritating clicks when i scroll... IT'S A SCROLLER!!! WHY U WANT IT TO CLICK WHEN U ROLL IT... (Well, Den u should just use the up down button u clicker!)...

Ever since i started using him, many pple has stopped and admired him... They can't help but notice the elegant clear body and classy blue led. The best part was their look of approval when they heard he was only for 18 bucks...

Not only is he stylishly functional... He was durable... I regret being a clumsy user, for i have dropped him on a few occassions. Each time he broke open, gutter-spilling and all.... I even broke a snap feature... However even after my repeated abuse, he still manage to pull himself together and continue to with his duties to serve me without complains.

But all good things comes to an end... Guess there is only tt much abuse a mouse can take. He has served me well... and this blog in his honour is the best a proud owner can do for him....

And now... i have moved on to my bluetooth Razor ProClick hehe...

Accidental Art

I din even realized i had this picture until i was transferring some photos i took for a report at work. Of course i din rem how i took this pic... just when (from the date and time hahaha...)

Kinda liked the colour and the blurry effects... so i'm keeping it :)

Maybe i'm some borned-artist... i just have to let my subconscious take over...

Ah.... who am i kidding.. i'm a shutter idiot... well.. tt's y it's pieces like this i treasure... :)

Fav. Dessert @ Raffles Place

This is a tribute to my fav. dessert at Raffles Place. hahha.... Since very soon my company will be moving to our new home... I won't have much chances to eat it.. :(

I LOVE MY BLACK SESAME PASTE WITH PEANUT FILLING DUMPLINGS!!!

芝麻糊加花生汤圆!!!

(must be from "真姐" @ Amoy Food Center)

The thick sesame paste with the refreshing frangance and wholesome goodness of black sesame, but it's sweet enough for me to complete my meal. The tang yuan is like little packages of surprises during my dessert ritual., chewy and bursting with peanut filling in every bite.

I will miss u... sob sob...
