My handsome boy~

The furry thing napping at his favourite spot… beside the toilet bowl. Sick smile

He’s now 8 months old! Time flies so fast.

His repertoire of skills has expanded over the months to include:

  1. Pooping and peeing outside of the home – yay for no cleaning kitty waste!
  2. Dipping his paws into the water fountain in my living room then licking them clean – effectively “washing his hands”.
  3. Flushing the toilet repeatedly for fun.
  4. Climbing up the horizontal bars of my front door metal gate.
  5. On alternate Saturdays, when my neighbour has a barbeque with a whole gang of people at a playground near my house, it is reported that Handsome is a regular guest.
  6. Manja-ing as many people as he possibly can for food – he now has about 5 different people who are in charge of feeding him different meals of different varieties.
    On a typical day, he has home cooked rice and meat for breakfast from an auntie, canned tuna for tea from a teenage girl, bread for supper from an ah pek, and random chicken wings (sometimes drumsticks) from people who just find him cute.

Pizza Hut for dinner!

Dinner today was delivery from Pizza Hut cos the mum received a flyer and got tempted haha. Sorry that the photo is a bit blur. Looked clear on the camera screen… :P

I ordered the ‘Viva’ crust (the thinner type) and the mum went into a frenzy when she saw it.

Omg! The pizzas shrunk! Why they do this!?!? Why become so thin? Omg cheat our money! OMG!

Yep so I had to spend around 5 minutes explaining to her that I ordered it that way but she still doesn’t understand… I think. It doesn’t make sense why I would order a thinner pizza for the same price when I could have gotten a thicker one (more bread le gasp!).

 

Ah… Mums.

New Zara top :)

Dropped by Zara after work one day and there was a sale going on! Thought this top was $39.90 after discount, but realized the next day when clearing the receipts that it was only $29.90.

Aren’t the patterns cute? Love the crochet part too~

Woot. Steal! :D

Sick of straight hair!

I’m officially over and done with having straight hair. Actually not completely with the straight bit, but it’s getting so long that it just looks limp and lifeless…

After googling for a bit and realizing that I can actually flat iron permed hair, I decided to go for a perm! I mean why rebond your hair and occasionally curl it, when you can perm it and occasionally straighten it!

Straightening is much less effort than curling hair with tongs, right. :D

I’m thinking of something that looks more natural… like this:

No perfect barrel shaped curls for me… especially when I’m the sort to wake up in the morning, take 10 mins in total to change, wash my face, brush my teeth & get out of the house.

So I’m thinking the tousled look would be best. Perhaps Blake Lively’s waves are a bit too… clumped? Don’t know why but it seems a bit choppy.

Would want something more to this:

Notice that the curls are more stringy and defined. I like! A clearer picture below:

I also like how there is no distinct part of the hair where the curls start. I notice a lot of girls have flat hair on the crown area and then suddenly around the ear area, curls start. If they have bouncy hair it’s still okay but not for flat hair!

Okay now I just have to wait for the next accounting period to begin, i.e. 1 Sept. So I don’t overspend this month haaaa. Or perhaps I’ll cave and go tomorrow after work. :P

Chicken Katsu with Rice & Jap Curry

This post is to balance out all the theme changing posts for the past couple of days.

I’ve been cooking fairly often nowadays & one of the dishes I remembered to take a photo of is this:

It was my first time deep frying anything and it was a horrific experience.

  1. Wrong type of oil. Well, not wrong per se but according to my mum, deep frying with olive oil is like wiping your mouth with dollar bills.
  2. Wrong type of pan. It was too shallow so the oil was sputtering and making all sorts of scary noises.
  3. Lack of appropriate utensils. I think I needed some sort of tongs or long chopsticks but all I had were normal eating forks and spoons. So I had to put on mittens, hold a lid up as a shield, and quickly lower the chicken into the oil and then run away to prevent boiling oil from getting on me. FML .

But despite all that, I think the dish turned out pretty yummy so that made me feel better. :P

It is also a fairly simple dish to make, if you are not as lousy as me when it comes to deep frying. Will definitely try it again when I’m feeling brave!
