Eeks

Jan 14th

Ok I realise I haven’t updated my blog in a while and this is due to a variety of reasons, namely:

Bf is now too lazy to bring out his cam to take photos.
I am now deeply dissatisfied with the photos taken by my compact camera.
I have bad skin!!

Yah they all revolve around the lack of photos because I can’t blog without photos!! Proof as follows below.

Insert irrelevent photo to prove point.

As you can see my condition is pretty critical. Without photos there is no focal point and I don’t know what to write about anymore!

It’s not that things haven’t been happening. I have attended a no. of gatherings, cut my hair, had a life in general, but the moments of this life in question has not been captured by a camera therefore I don’t feel compelled to write about it.

Well I could write about how I’m planning to bathe maomao in about 10 minutes, after which I’m going to rush to Holland V to wax my upper lip and sideburns for the heck of it (not that I have ghastly sideburns but did you know that it was even possible!?), after which I am going to repair the bf’s earphones at some place in Queenstown, after which I’m going to dress up and make up for the bf’s dinner ceremony. BUSY BEE IS ME.

The dinner ceremony is going to be quite a fancy affair, by the sound of how the bf is describing it to me. It’s going to be a long table setup – which is kinda intimidating esp if I have to sit opp the bf. There’s also some happy hour component where people are supposed to walk around and make polite conversation while pretending not to be terrified… wait that’s just me.

I hope I’m not too awkward with the talking and mingling thingies later on hur hur. *nervous laugh* And I hope my dress won’t stick out like a sore thumb (as per bf’s instructions wtf).

RAMBLING IS SO LIBERATING WAHAHHAA.

Anniversary cooking misadventures

The bf and I have been together for 4 years as of 1 Jan 2010. I suppose that’s a new milestone for 老夫老妻-dom (a.k.a old husband old wife…dom?).

Cooked for him on the eve, and it was quite a fail. Everything was borderline edible (to me la; he claimed to love it but then again he’s obliged to).

It was superbly tragic and depressing cos I usually cook quite well (even if I do say so myself), and I followed the recipes exactly so I have no clue what went wrong. Boo!

First dish: Grilled cajun chicken

Looks nothing like it, tasted even further from what it was supposed to be. “Where’s the cajun?”, you may ask. Beats me. I swear I put a more than generous amount during the marinating part, but you can’t even see a hint of red on the chicken. Haih.

Second up: Pan-fried asparagus

Looks edible, but was not. You know how asparagus is supposed to taste all buttery and creamy and melt in your mouth? Did not happen. Instead it tasted like undercooked kang kong with chao tar galic bits. The parmesan cheese is a last minute ditch effort to salvage the flavour.

Third: Basil pasta
