I have this sudden crazy urge to read Enid Blyton books. This might be my desperate attempt to re-live my carefree younger days or to regress into childhood. Whatever it is, the simplicity in her writing and all the vivid descriptions still have a magnetic pull on many. I miss those days, and I dont have the legit excuse to read an Enid Blyton book. My mom will think I have lost it. Sigh...we lose so many things when we grow up, and this is one of those things.

On another note, the weekend is here!!! I am not working this saturday, so it will be two full days at home/outside. Gosh, I am like some parched person in the desert who has seen water. I desperately need some rest and sleep. Plus I have laundry and cleaning to do, which i dont really mind doing. Anyways, I hope the skies do not open up and pour tomorrow. My accumulated laundry for the week needs to be washed and hung to dry. So please sky, dont rain on me.

Lunch is over, I am going to do some work now. Ciao~

Its Friday NIGHT and I am sitting home like a duck! GOSH I badly need to get a life. Or at least get shagged...Its bloody boring.

Everyone says I am fat, even my parents. IS that why I cant get a boyfriend? 40 years down the road, even a skinny model is going to grow old. Why cant people look beyond the outer image? What is it with this society that only rake-thin people are deemed beauties? I think I am beautiful. I have a nice smile...and great eyes and nice fingers and smart brains...Why cant I fucking get a boyfriend??? why do i end up with all the junky guys who turn out to be major pieces of shit? I just want someone who takes the time to listen to me...to care about me and who believes in me. Is that too much to ask....
My mom is pressuring me to get married. maybe thats what started this off.

Different topic...
Made myself a quick dinner of chappati and yesterday's leftover minced mutton,green pea and potato keema(curry). Its light and yummy. The pic is a bit fuzzy because I took it with my webcam. Its an OLd dinosaur-model cam. Sorry about that...

Scary incident at work today!!! One old man, shabbily dressed in a torn singlet and baggy pants came into my office and banged on the door so hard. I thought he was feeling sick or something and jumped to open the door! Luckily I thought twice and tried waving him off.

He refused to move and started shouting that he wants money for a leg operation and tried to turn the door knob. By this time my heart was right at my throat, as I was alone in the office and he was creeping me out.

I said no in mandarin and waved him away but he still persisted and tried showing me his IC and some documents supposedly from the hospital. He looked a bit 'off', like he was drunk. I quickly moved towards my table and on the way I spotted the BIG dinosaur metal paper puncher and decided that would be my weapon should he break in or something.

I took the phone receiver up meaning to call my sis to ask her what to do, and I think the old man assumed I was trying to call the police. He said NO Police and dashed off.

What an experience. I should make sure I remember to keep the door locked at all times. Sighz...terrible encounter!

I absolutely loathe working on saturdays. I end up being a big grump on Monday cos the weekend flies by so fast, I hardly have time to sit and breathe. ARGH!!!

Getting busier at work. I should start growing more hands a.k.a octopus so I can accomplish more at one go. Sometimes, the phone rings and I am rushing on something and I just forget that I have to answer the phone call! sighz...

Watched Shark Tale yesterday. Very funny movie and the fish Oscar looked exactly like Will Smith!!!

Long lapse since my last post on blogger. Somehow I find its easier to blog occasionally, because when I force myself to blog everyday, I end up shutting down my blog!

Anyways, I am planning to invest in a good digicam soon and that would be easier for me to start posting pictures in my blog as well.

Had chicken porridge for dinner last night as I was not in the mood to eat any spicy/heavy stuff. Simple recipe but it tasted really great!

Chicken Porridge
1/2 cup rice
chicken fillet, sliced thinly
2 cm piece of ginger, smashed and sliced into thin strips
carrots, cubed small (1/2 a carrot)
spring onions, chopped
red chillies, sliced thin(seeds removed) (optional)
pepper
fried onions (optional)
light soy sauce
2-2.5 cups chicken stock or dissolve 1/2 chicken stock cube in 2-2.5cups of boiling water

Put the chicken stock to boil along with the ginger and pepper, when it reaches boiling point, add in chicken and cook. remove chicken once its thoroughly cooked and keep aside.
In the boiling stock, add the washed rice and boil away till rice is cooked through. Add carrots and continue boiling till rice starts breaking up into desired porridge consistency. Once the rice has gained the desired consistency, add in the cooked chiken and stir through. taste and add salt/soy sauce as desired.
serve garnished with spring onions, red chillies, fried onions and a few drops of sesame oil. Get ready to enter Kai Chok heaven!

Asian Comfort food at its best!!! Yummy in my tummy! Its a pity there isnt a picture to show how pretty the dish was.
