flower power

cooked bak kut teh today

the one that sis sent over

hmm....i think it shouldn't be called bak kut teh in my case cos i used chicken instead of pork

i threw in 4 of those thigh+drumstick pieces

so one for each of us in this flat =)

hahah

and i felt really accomplished after trimming out most of the fat and removing its skin

you should have seen the amount of fat those few pieces had

1 big handful of it!

it was quite scary

i think it turned out quite well

this stock mix was way better than the previous one i used

at least this one doesn't leave you feeling thirsty the whole day

i hope the others liked it

hope they find it edible at least lol!

also

i went down to Warehouse in Hornby yesterday

wanted to get a large black luggage

to store my belongings here when i'm off for the exchange

but guess what?

i left with i really red and 'flowery' one instead!

well, cos when i was going to the cashiers

i noticed they had some stock reduced to clear

and there stood a few large luggage bags

it was the same size as the one i've chosen

it somehow felt more stable too...and cheaper

hohoho.....it's not the best luggage, but i guess it would do for my storage purposes

and it was only NZ$45

heh no one can miss this bag...it's just too 'outstanding'!

i just hope it doesn't err... spoil or get damage to quickly!

the big red flowery bag i got.....good one to use for a trip to hawaii eh?

after returning to lincoln from hornby

met youssef's friend to help him out with one of his landscape electives

turned out that he needed help for vectorworks

i hope i managed to be of some help, as i'm not extremely familiar with that software

but i guess i did help in some way

cos he did look much more relieved at the end of it

it's good too cos i get to practise on vectorworks

so it's win-win =P

oh dear

my hands are getting 'itchy' again

hahah! or should i say my mouth is getting 'itchy'

well that's cos i keep wanting to eat home baked cookies...or just smth i bake

eh most of the stuff i bake i end up consuming more than half of it

i have yet to try out those pratha sausages things

just the thought of it makes me drool

hahahhah

i think i'm not a very good cook

but i think i cook good enough for myself lol

maybe cos i don't have enough practise

i wonder what it would be like it i actually trained to be a professional chef or baker

oooo.....
