hello public


i know i know, its felt like ages since my last proper entry. especially with my thailand trip and all, its taken up a lot of time with all the preparation nonsense. and now that i'm back, there's was hari raya haji, a couple of birthday events to attend, christmas picnic with my entire paternal family side and random meetups with friends, to keep me mostly occupied.

wadever time i have left, i try to spend it at home with my family and doing what i love most when i'm home. no, its not wanking to porn. its actually cooking. very few ppl actually know bout this little known secret of mine and only a very very few people(apart from my parents and family) ever had the chance to sample my creations.

in fact i just finished whipping up a fusili carbonara for dinner tonight. and to watch the figure, instead of using double cream, i used 99%fat free milk. also low fat cheese, organic capsicum and peas. the original carbonara calls for bacon but i substitute it with slices of cheese sausage.so what came out in the end was more of a healthier but still as yummy version of carbonara.

of course i do know how to cook other stuff as well. like prawn olio aglio, beef bolagnaise and mostly pastas cause i love pastas. my current love is also baking. i made some nutella banana cupcakes for my christmas picnic with the relatives and everyone loved them. YAY!!

simple things like seeing how people enjoy my cooking really makes my day.

what makes me happy is also hanging out with my frens.









danny & me










and before i went to thailand, i found out that my passport had expired and i had to get a new one done. so i met up with danny for a trip to 'the passport building' (i donno what its called) at lavender.

i initially went there to get my passport photo changed cause i've had a few incidents where immigration staff had doubts that the picture on the passport was actually me.






the pic on the left one was the original passport foto.
the middle foto was the one i intended to use but then i thought the blue collar would clash with the passport being red.
and the foto on the right was the final one i chose for my new biometric passport.







well, it took quite a while for me to figure out where to queue, which foto to use and the whole process of filling up the form. the whole place was just chaotic.

thankfully, there was a sanctuary nearby that i've been wanting to go to.











HAJI LANE!!!














i read in magazines about this area being the new upcoming location for local designers to show off their talents.

and after walking through wad seemed to be vintage decorated shops selling mostly hand made jewellery, i feel Haji Lane was just overhyped. to sum it in a few words, the place felt like a clash between far east plaza meets lime flea market.


















after that, we made our way to town instead where actual shopping was a more possible venue.

but not before a little trip to starbucks to make me happier.











green tea frappucino anybody?













in the end, most of the day was spent in town instead. i'd take town over haji lane ANYDAY.

























oh what would i do without orchard road. i'd probably just die of boredom. or pick up some retarded sport like soccer or smthing.



till next entry, very soon-ish.
