Due to work, I won't have the energy to blog anymore....

SA Tours is on BBC News - how cool & THANK GOD!!

I just wanna give thanks unto our Father in Heaven here

Its a first for me.... and I am excitied.

SA Tours is on BBC News on cable TV last week

My first attempt at Prawn Noodles Photos!!!

The Spice I used.... to add flavour

Soup Bags below

My first attempt at prawn noodle soup...

which totally ROCKS

for it turned out great without salt, soy sauce,

sugar or MSG

(in my future Mother-In-Law's own words

" Very good Ah Ruth!!!")

I started preparing 2 pots of soup

as soups always run out the fastest whenever I cook for Daniel

which is great

I am so not complaining here

and cooking is therapy for me

makes me happy!

ON WITH THE SOUPS...

boil...boil.... watch fire....

Then comes placing in the

1) Pork Bones

2) Prawn Heads (Crashed)

3) Prawns (Peeled and De-veined)

4) Chinese Herbs

5) Spices

6) Soup Bag

7) Kangkong to bleech before serving

THEN LET IT BOIL AWAY......

Prepare the Bee Hoon.

Place into the various bowls for different people

Wash Chinese Parsley

(magg's fave if I remb correctly - cheers!)

BELOW is close-up view of

Bee Hoon with Parsley

Check on the soup every once in a while...

And when my man came back from work....

I served...

all nice and hot....

With Belachan

Once again, Prawn Noodle Soup:

1) Buy some Glass Prawns (600g)

for Sweeter Soup bases naturally

2) Then get additional Big Tiger Prawns (8pcs)

for extra Oomph and QQ taste when eating

3) Buy Soup Bags (12x10cm types) will do

for you to place the herbs & crashed prawn heads

into so the soup won't be murky and messy

4) Get Chinese Herbs from Chinese Medical Hall (wolfberries, white bark etc)

5) For natural sweetness, add some dried scallops (my fave!!)

6) A Bag of Bee Hoon (Use Half for a family of 4)

7) A Bag of Kangkong (can use all at one cooking)

8) If you like, you may opt to add yellow beans

9) A Bag of Bak Kut Teh Spices

10) Pork Bones / Ribs $4.50 worth will do

BOIL EVERYTHING (best to get a huge pot)

and peel the prawns and all, took 3 hours...

for really really nice soup base, boil longer, 5 hours.

GO EXPERIMENT for someone u love...

well worth the effort and

helps u score points with the MIL...

HAHAHAHAA... lolz....

Expelling U from Me.... just like Taking a Dump!

Today was suppose to be a great day. Where I head out for my training, where life goes on as pre-normal and I enjoy it but its hard to make that choice today... I know I am suppose to be all happy posting pics of a great lunch yday and the prawn noodles but guess what, a HUGE unhappy last night ruined a lot for me. I am in no mood whatsoever now. So, the pics will have to come another day. My head is spinning, I am feeling sick inside, I feel like crying on and off and even CSI New York is not appealing to me now. Talking about it ain't enough. Something to THANK GOD for is this; my Bosses are on leave today, leaving me a little freed up to really really be moody. I am trying hard to snap out of it but hey, gimme some time OKAY? I got a huge wound to nurse. U are such a pain in my arse.... its akin to shitting. When you squeeze the shit out with your anal muscles, pushing and hoping it all comes out at one go so you need not run back to the toilet again for another dump! Yeah.... that feeling, so much relief after all toxins are purge out of your system. U truly are a sadist, you are like that piece of shit that refuses to come out at one sitting, you hang around, causing discomfort and pain, leaving me in alarm.... not knowing when I need the toilet next. THAT"S ACTUALLY EXACTLY HOW I FEEL TOWARDS U NOW. Cos a sadist never knows how to be happy for someone when comfort, peace and relief is found. I always.... ALWAYS had to conform to your demeaning demands at times and sickening expectations of near perfection. ITS ALWAYS about you. U and your freaking face, au natural stinking FACE!!! U only offer help when i am sad, driven to a corner or desperate.... seldom do I see you happy anymore, everything I ever do is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I am a failure on your terms, thru your lens and in your picture perfect world!!! Does hating myself make you happier with me? Does my low self-esteem give you satisfaction? Does the food I order ever pleases you unless its something you are familiar with.... NO..... its always YOUR decisions, YOUR choices, YOUR BUYS, your show, your dressing, YOUR EVERYTHING that is the BEST!!!! I AM JUST UNDERNEATH U....................... well guess what, you are like my shit now, in my head, you are that piece of shit I am waiting to expel. Cos it is CAUSING ME discomfort and pain.

Lunch actually

I had the most awesome-ness lunch today. At Raffles Hotel by a chef who flew in from france just to cook for us all (I never tot I live to experience this day!!! BUT I DID -PRAISE THE LORD man.... I know I sound kiddy but really, how many people in this lifetime, i mean common folks like us, get a chef flying in specially to cook for you.... wah lau.... SHIOK lar!!) AND ITS FREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prawn Soup pics and more on my lunch tomorrow, in pictures. Yummy.....

Cooking Prawn Noodles

I just finished cooking the soup base for Prawn Noodles (my first time) and I love the taste of the soup, it is still simmering now as I type this but come dinner time, it would be just nice - HOPEFULLY DANIEL WILL LOVE IT! PHOTOS TOMORROW..... =))) I mixed pork ribs with crashed prawn heads and semi-shelled prawns into 2 pots (because soups are the first to run out whenever I cook - just ask Daniel!) ITS A LOT OF WORK...... running to the markets, getting the right stuff then de-shell, boil, watch the fire and blah blah blah but certainly it gives me a sense of satisfaction, cos if the soup base passes my taste buds test (I am fussy about my soups - REAL FUSSY) then it is alright to present to the world. HAha...... oh well... still, am cooking it for Daniel, his kid brother, his mum and ta-baoing some for my kid brother. No sugar, no salt and nothing else is added (except my secret ingredient - sniggers) so the soup is naturally sweet and porky-prawny...hahah!

Murder on the Dance Floor

I am pissed......

News came in on Ch5 that said Michael Jackson was

GASP!!!

actually murdered.

Can you believe it?

Whoever it is,

will pay for it by rotting down there.

You are terrible. You should be ashamed.

Killing is a life for a life.

Life should be treasured

and not Taken by a fellow human
