I will survive
I have decided not to blog about my job due to sensitivity issue. I feel tired having to explain it again as well. In a nutshell, I am leaving. =) For the better of tomorrow. To me, I feel that this is a period that is quite tormenting. But I know in the eyes of others, this is just another episode that is not as bad as what they see. After all everyone has their own perspective, everyone take things differently. So really, just let me ramble and fumble my way through. And I thank you for your support and advice. =) We can party when I get my sunshine back!
These days while I was going through a tough time, I happen to come across a couple of friends who are also going though a bad phase. Only we are fretting over different issues. I may not understand how it feels to be thrown with such shit but I know it suck to be in deep shit. I can imagine what you guys are going through. Remember what doesn’t kills us only makes us stronger… We are 打不死的蟑蝻!

My most expensive asset
Finally bought a macbook pro after procrastinating for a few months. There goes a month pay. The next thing to buy is a 2+1 speaker as well as a cable to connect the laptop to the tv. Then I could bom bom pow in the room. The only down side so far is I couldn't watch funshion with mac. =( But it's okie I've downloaded windows 7. Waiting for someone to provide installation service. Hehe! Very happy with my purchase. And my desktop is now taken over by my mum who (I think) aims to finish watching all the shows in funshion. No more 我要看！给我用！fights anymore. Happy and Satisfied. Mac rules!

Sweet Boyfriend on Our 1year 6months Anniversary
One fine evening on the 17th day of June 2010, I spotted a battle scarred matrix huffing and puffing its way up the 45 degree hill at Biopolis. It stopped outside my office and I happily glided towards it. Once I settled down in the car, the boyfriend quickly grabbed the surprise from the backseat and flashed it in front of me with a tint of shyness. I gasped in excitement as I received the bouquet of flowers. One… Two… Three… Four… I began to count. There were 11 red roses decorated with other pretty little flowers. I started bombarding questions like where, when, how, and why while we made our way to Anchor point TCC for dinner. I kept smiling throughout our journey and suggested bringing the flowers around to hao lian which was rejected by him. The boyfriend told me to google the meaning of the number of roses. The so sweet meaning is so goose bump sweet. Ha ha! Don’t know for real or not. After yummy TCC pasta with smoke salmon and roe, we shopped around then headed home.
Once home, mother excitedly asked a stupid question: “Who gave you the flowers?” which was replied by my senile father in a omg-this-is-a-ridiculous-question tone: “Of cos is her boyfriend lah!” But she kept asking until I personally say it out loud. *smack forehead* Guess she was just as excited as her daughter. Afterall it was the first time I brought home a bouquet of flowers. No more bandung anymore! =) So this was a moment to remember – My first bouquet of roses.

Our first DIY Tiramisu
Ingredients:
1 glass of kopi-o gao
2 tablespoons baileys
2 large eggs (separate yolk and white)
1 pinch of salt
180g sugar (divided into 2 portions of 90g each)
250g mascarpone cheese
12 3.5in ladyfingers
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Steps:
- Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until they begin to get stiff. Beat in 90g of sugar until stiff.
- Beat egg yolks with remaining sugar until stiff and light-coloured. Beat in mascarpone until lump free.
- Fold in beaten egg whites to beaten yolks until fully incorporated.
- Put a layer of this cream into each vessel.
- Mix together kopi-o gao and baileys. The mixture should taste strongly of alcohol.
- Submerge ladyfinger in kopi/bailey mixture until completely soaked. Squeeze out excess mixture so that it is not too saturated.
- Layer each ladyfinger over the cream in each vessel.
- Repeat alternate layering of cream and ladyfinger as you desire.
- Top with cream, cover, refrigerate at least 4 hours. But preferably overnight.
- Shake powdered cocoa generously on top before serve.
Ta da! Our easy to make Tiramisu. The ladyfingers soak up alcohol/coffee so FAST. Our end product was too soggy. But still, effort 100%. =)
