like the noose caster said: "your hair is as shiny as my nose hairs after a sneeze."
good afternoon every burdie, im reporting alive from some extremely confined space with a very strong aircon and endless supply of paper...
luckily i can still use the internet and david lebovitz is keeping me company.

i have always dreamed of a day when there will be world peace in the world.
but i would be lying if i said i did not like what i saw in action movies with all thats being blown up and stuff and stuff.
still, that does not mean that the ice cream from gelato is even ice cream. its super gilat !
i didn't know that beet root can be a very good accompainment with chocolate in a cake, and i would so like to try out david's recipe perhaps next week.
mmmmmmm...
can't wait to get my hands on a hot steamy bowl of ramen soup. staying in this office feels like im already in some winter struck country.
it might as well snow outside.
darn.
if only it did snow in singapore, i would make a snow angel probably once a month if i feel like it.....
anyway, if it did snow in singapore, then i can make nicer desserts without having them melt on me.
once, when i was making pastry dough, the dough actually melted due to my body heat and the heat from the kitchen.
the auntie i worked with said i was 'too hot' blush*
but no, she was only talking about the heat being emitted from my hands and possibly other parts near the bench. (DONT think too much about it)
i am not trying to imply anything here, it was just that the bird flew across the window and gave me a mini shocker
the view from here is actually not that bad.
with long winding shadows created by the setting sun at this auspicious timing of 4:44pm, it makes the world look so rustic and bronze like.
as if everything is becoming an antique.
two items i would keep if i have to choose to stick with me for the rest of my life, would be my wits and curiosity.
it wouldn't do me good if i get tired of everything, or just run along life with everyone insulting me in my face without me knowing it.
maybe the latter would be slightly more important on a scale
but just ask me what would i do just to get my hands on a scoop of delicious creamy scoop of rum&raisin ice cream from salty caramel.
is that the name of the shop?
im just to impatient to go into google, type the name of the shop and find out if it really is the right name. you can go lycos it
actually, this way, it might spark more interest in you to want to know what the exact name of the shop is that excites me so very much.
a good scoop of rum&raisin ice cream will really perk anyone's day up.
yes im being biased cause i can and i love it.
HA.
so anyway, i was on my way to work today when nothing in particular happened, until !!!!! the mrt train arrived on schedule like every other day.
it was a particularly normal ride with almost the same number of strangers on board until !!!!! the train arrived at the exact location that i need to get off.
so i transferred to another service and continued my journey as i have done countlessly until !!!!! i finally reach my destination.
thats where i got off and went to the bakery at the nearby shopping centre to grab some breakfast until !!!!!! i found a few new flavours that were not worth much mentioning.
if you would really like to know, they were:
mushroom pizza, seaweed chicken floss and fish nugget burger.
i believe they can be found at almost every bakery.
then i took a bus to work and the day continued as per normal.
but, the point here is, the only thing that was different was the stress i have from having to decide the dinner that my mother so conveniently planned for her friends on chinese new year.
and guess what, she wants me to cook again.
i presume that number 1 - she wants to give me the chance to try some new dishes
number 2 - she would like to try some new dishes
number 3 - perhaps she thinks i enjoy doing it, but it really is super tiring having to plan for it, get the ingredients, prepare the meal and pray hope and wish that everything turns out well.
and then finally hearing the verdict from a group of people who would honey coat every thing because i am their friend's child who is a chef-wannabe..
who can be so inconsiderate as to crush a chef-wannabe's dream of being a.... chef of course...
then again, it comes with a whole load of hard work and persistence that sometimes i just want to back away from the stove and sit on the floor.
HAHAHAHHA,
now that i imagine it, its kinda lame to just sit on the floor, maybe i'll roll around the oily greasy kitchen floor then throw myself into the wok for a WOK-HEY !!
love that taste.
but so then again, im stuck on a half written menu that does not have much substance and might not be satisfying.
i need assisstants that can plan a menu with me like in the heston blumenthal's show.
that is pretty cool stuff having a team to do planning and then execution. its like a freakin science lab operation night scrawler pan fry kinda thing
AWESOMMMMMMMMMENESS..
