Never send out sms' when you are distracted. Especially if it's about something not-so-nice.

I learnt this the hard way.

MALUNYAAAAAA!!

Happy Coolie's Day

Family portrait. Geng MMU tahun 2002.


Now THIS is what we call a proper potluck... where people actually bring real food. Haha.


I made chicken souvlaki - greek style chicken kebabs (on the left with yoghurt sauce). Very healthy and very easy to make.


The cake pretty much sums it all up. Yum!

Thanks Daniel for hosting the potluck lunch. It was fun.. and delicious Labour Day all at the same time :)

28 ways to know you are Chinese

1. You unwrap gifts very carefully,so you can save and reuse the wrapping. (and especially those bows). Sometimes... please recycle!
2. When there is a sale on toilet paper,you buy 100 rolls and store them in your closet or in the bedroom of an adult child who has moved out. Seriously... why do you need to? :P
3. You keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times. Nopes. I usually only drink cold water.
4. You save grocery bags,tin foil and tin containers. You use the grocery bags to hold garbage. Like I said... recycle!! :)
5. You hate to waste food: a. Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them. (your mom will give a lecture about starving kids in Africa ). Everyone knows about the starving kids. But, you shouldn't overeat either. Unless your plan is to grow fat & happy...
6. You have Tupperwares in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chicken wing. You don't own any real Tupperware - only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, take out containers and jam jars. We use alot of microwavable containers for leftovers.
7. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottles that you take every time you stay in a hotel. I don't have a collection! But I do have a couple!
8. You wipe your plate and utensils or wash them in a small basin of hot water before you eat every time you go to a restaurant. Yes! However, whether or not it actually kills bacteria is another issue...
9. You own a rice cooker and slow cooker. My mum does.
10. You wash your rice at least 2-3 times before cooking it. Yes, and you don't throw away the water either - use it to water your plants!
11. You fight (literally) over who pays the dinner bill. It really depends on who I'm with. Of course, free meals are always welcome! *hint hint*
12. You have a teacup with a cover on it. I have a mug...
13. If you're under age 20, you own a really expensive Walkman, if you're over 20,you own a really expensive camera. iPOD lah. But I own neither :(
14. You're a wok user. The greatest invention ever!
15. You only make long distance call after 7pm. I hardly ever make long distance calls.
16. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached - it means they're fresh. I hate peeling my prawns! Enough said.
17. You never call your parents just to say hi. Sometimes...
18. If you don't live at home and when your parents call, they'll ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight. I live at home and yes, they always ask if you've eaten.
19. Your parents tell you to boil herbs and stay indoor when you get sick. I do that sometimes. They also tell you not to eat fried foods or baked goods because they're heaty (yeet hay in Cantonese) All the time.
20. You email your Chinese friends at work, even though you only sit less than 10 feet apart. We usually chat through IM eventhough we sit relatively near each other.
21. You always cook too much. Yes... just in case, y'know?
22. You eat every last grain of rice in your bowl, but don't eat the last piece of food on the table. Not so! If I like it, I will eat it up. Provided I'm still hungry (see point 5)
23. You starved yourself before going to all you can eat buffet. I don't go for buffets if I can help it.
24. You know someone who can get you a good deal on jewellery or electronics or computers. Yes.
25. You own your own meat cleaver and sharpen it. We have a meat cleaver. I don't know how to sharpen it though :P
26. Your toothpaste tubes are all squeezed paper-thin. Buy new one lah.
27. You know why this list consists of only '28' reasons. Yee Fatt. Fatt fatt fatt!
28. You can take this message and forward it to all your Chinese friends. Already did.
