I found out today that I can’t cook.
Even with a recipe… I can’t cook!
Don’t believe me? I have PROOF. But let me warn you first - The following picture isn’t very appetite-friendly so please proceed with caution:
No I swear this is NOT baby puke. It’s supposed to be some sort of a meat stew.
While you’re sitting there trying to recover from the aftermath (sudden lost of appetite, nausea, migraine, night terror, insomnia), please remember that I actually have half a pot of this to finish (or throw away, I haven’t decided) and the whole room smells like what you actually imagine it could smell like.
To be honest, I wasn’t patient enough to read the entire recipe….. nor did I actually used all the listed ingredients. 
Wait a minute!
Maybe I don’t suck at cooking.
Maybe I just suck at following instructions.
Ohhh.. always the rebel me.
Now to go back watching the American Idol marathon. GO DAVID A & C!!!!!!!

I told myself I’ll stay away from Orchard Road during the weekends.
Which is why I’m staying IN doing so many productive, wholesome things… like watching every rerun Starhub throws to my face, surfing for things to do in Singapore which 1) does not cost any/much money and 2) does not involve crowds, avoiding the scream of a full laundry basket and the growling sounds coming from the general direction of my tummy.
Friend are telling me that my cause to look for something interesting to do in Singapore is a lost one, but I’m NOT giving up… yet! There has to be SOMETHING to do besides wrestling with fashion slave zombies in a shopping frenzy along the sidewalks. There has to be!
I’m also trying to figure out what sort of healthy simple foods I can actually make during the weekends so that I won’t have to eat out, spend too much money on food.. and use that money to get my “fix” on weeknights. Erm. Just kidding, mum (Say hi to me mum everyone, she’s learning how to use the interw3b and one of the first few websites she learned to access was mine. Better hide all those dodgy posts! :P).
But I digress.
I’m actually trying to eat healthier because Oprah was telling everyone that starting 2009 she’s going to start losing her weight, exercising and eating right. About time too, she’s ballooned up like nobody’s business. Got me wondering if she purposely put on all those weight just to make a show about losing it - not bad eh? ANYWAY. Oprah convinced me that I should start taking care of my own eating habits too - since I get sick so often, am turning 29 and a little soft everywhere.
I’ve also just watched Babe on Star Movies and I still have that stupid grin on my face. That ending always gets me tearing up - Hoggett selamba only standing there.. while the pig walks the sheeps into the pen.. Hoggett closing the pen gate. The silence and then the sudden eruption of cheers. The 100 points. The Corny sun peeking from the clouds shining down on very still-standing, straight-faced Hoggett…. the camera focusing on Babe, then back to Hoggett… and Hoggett saying “That’ll do pig. That’ll do”.
love it love it love it LOVE IT.
Babe has got to be one of my favouritest movies of ALL time.
Nobody make movies like that anymore - heart warming, family friendly, grin inducing, tingly in your toes, the “aww” feeling, the happy sighs.
Siiigggghhhhhhh.
Can’t believe some folks thought to ban this movie because it was “haram”.
Stupidity of mankind knows no limits.
I love the movie so much that I’m actually afraid to watch the sequel because you know what sequels DO to a franchise (cue starwars, the marix, aliens, lost, friends), but apparently Babe: Pig In the City was a fun watch.
I know the movie was 10 years ago, but WAS IT? WAS IT A GOOD WATCH?
Okay - back to looking for things to do in Singapore. And thinking about what I should be having for lunch.
OOH Jamie At Home’s ON! YEAY! He’s going to make me so hungry. Sigh.
Have a good weekend!

While everybody’s wildy and proudly proclaiming that they’ll try to do things they don’t usually do but should because they think it’s better for them but at the end of the day NOT stick through it and feel all guilty about it? Why not for once we do the exact opposite? State something we know we’ve been doing/not doing and keep at it for the new year. I mean aren’t we sick and tired of LYING to ourselves to do things we THINK we should be doing but ending up NOT doing anyway because you are too [insert your own excuse here]?
Let’s be rebels and make not-resolutions instead! Tell us 5 things you’ll continue to keep doing/avoiding for the rest of the year.
In 2009, I will NOT:
1. Start smoking
Never wanted to try, never intended to. Why bother? it stinks, it’s bad for you, it empties your wallet, it bothers the people around you. It’s a stupid habit. Say tak nak.
2. Quit drinking.
Hey, everybody’s gotta have a vice right? Besides, I drink in moderation onlym ah (shuddup you). Can’t do more even if I wanted to - No time, no money, no kaki. Sigh.
3. Swear less.
I was actually thinking that I should actually start acting my age and that I should swear less (especially in the work place because it’s so bloody unprofessional) then I thought - man it’s too hard. fuck it. 
4. Sky dive.
I like gravity and my feet firmly on the ground, thanks.
5. Buy an LV bag.
Overrated. Too common. If every other girl has one then what makes it special anymore right? I might change my mind when I’m 30 though - this is just how I feel right now. BUT should someone has a sudden bout of generosity and decided to present me with an geniune LV bag as a gift - sure why not. I didn’t say anything about not owning one (but please not the brown monogrammed one. NEVER the brown monogrammed one. EVER! ). 
You get an idea how this works? Okay, your turn!

Can’t believe I’ll be turning 29 soon though. Then the big three oh.
Argh. Not quite looking forward to the Chinese New Year.
Good luck!
