Since it was my off day, I decided to do some groceries shopping and cook dinner for my family. To be honest, it was my first time cooking a proper (yet simple) meal for a family and I was feeling a little stressed. But it is time I should start learning how to cook proper. I wouldn’t want to be one of the females who excel in their career yet suck when they step into the kitchen.

My Dad was very encouraging about my first attempt though! He told me what was good and what’s not so good, and ate everything with a smile even though I know they don’t exactly taste fantastic. My Dad told me, if I want to keep Jon by my side I’ve to learn to cook. Oh well…

Need to cook more often and work on my culinary skills!

  Just before I place them into the fridge. (: Wanted to spread the grapes & strawberries evenly, but the strawberries went afloat while the grapes sank. /:

• The end product!

  Steam egg (failed! I forgot to add salt & I think I overcooked it), Red Wine Chicken (loads of improvements to be made) and Stir-fry bean sprouts with mushrooms & tomatoes (probably the best dish for the night). Oh, and organic brown rice!

Haven’t really been updating on how or what I’ve been up to lately, although most of my time is revolving around work, so I’m just going to do a really quick update in point form before I get too lazy and decide never to talk about them! (:

1. I guess I’m actually doing quite fine in my new working environment. Rather huge responsibilities, but I must say I enjoy my work despite the long working hours and being often misunderstood and looked upon as just-another-sales-person. Oh well, guess I can say all’s good! :D

2.Quite a few of my friends actually came down to visit me, or meet up with me for lunch/dinner! :D Estella, Eng Heng, Karen Ting, Matt, Samantha Ting, Stacey, Yuli, just to name a few! (:

3. I’m going to catch Iron Man 2 for free in early May, how exciting! :D It’s a free movie sponsored by Ciba Vision for Optometrists working in Optical 88. Look at how the things that contact lens companies do to bribe us to sell their products! q:

Today’s such a slow and lazy Sunday, but I really enjoyed it. The only problem is that I wished that I’d better use the time to do something like reading journals though I really dread it. ): I wish someone would be able to help me with that.

Absolutely have no idea why whenever I get the time to sleep in, I’d always wake up at around 9am. ): So much of sleeping in. /: Spent the entire morning lazing around the house while talking to my favourite boy. (: I’ve said it a million times, but I’d still say that I wished I had his company here with me to get by days like this. And like I’ve said, 24 more days! Meanwhile, the both of us would probably talk a little lesser since his exams are coming up! Would take a bit of understanding and getting use to, since we’ve been talking on the phone almost everyday.
