The "Lekor" night

Last week darling was craving for keropok lekor, so i decided to google the recipe and turned out it wasn't hard at all! There were like 3 ingredients, fish, tapioca flour and salt!

making the fish paste was a bitch! pick the bones, slice the meat then mince them..urg! smelly!

When im done making the dough n boiled the lekor, while waiting for them to be dried in the low heat oven, I called home to speak to mom but she wasn't home, so i spoke to my little brother instead - so i proudly told him

" Im making keropok lekor lehhhhh"

and he replied
"ohhhh i bought those from pasar malam last night, wahhh so nice with the chili sauce, you got the chili sauce or nottttt????"

-_-

He loves to tease me with food that i love - but I felt like a donkey after spending all that effort n sweat and he told me cockily ohh i just bought it from pasar malam..........


well anyway....they turned out pretty good, erm back home u probably paid 3 or 4rm at pasar malam for the small portion we made.


cutting up the dried lekor ready to be deep fried


Darling did a pretty good job improvising the chili sauce using this super spicy vietnamese chili paste.

Piece of art~



We were super happy and satisfied that night, watched a movie while chewing on crunchy keropok lekor! Maybe because is self made, so it tasted better than the pasar malam ones.. teehee!

update from yours truly

Have been extremely inactive in keeping my journal. But everytime i came in here and tried to create a new post, i dont know what to write...is like nothing interesting is happening. Actually not true. Now that Facebook is becoming so big, I usually do my photos update there.

Anywayyy yesterday this came into my mail : Free Cruise Voucher for 2 plus 1300$ spending money!

No they did not randomly picked my address, but i got a call from Imperial majesty Cruise Line Vacation from Florida and they told me about this good deal! with alot of hesitation and more greed and kiasuness, i gave them my info (except credit card).





Looks legitimate right!? to claim my free cruise, i gotto call this tollfree number, which i havent done so.... hmmm should I?


Butch and his fiance Mayo visited us from Japan last week. Its sooo nice to see him again after two years! we really enjoy their company and too bad it was such a short trip :(


Anyway update on Baby Liu!

She's kicking harder and harder as she grows and sometimes it annoys me a little bit. Both our moms commented the same thing when they were pregnant with us, and of coz we both turned out to be hyper kids....I guess our baby is going to be Trouble with the capital T! Thanks to her us!

We started looking at baby stuff in Toys R us. and all i can say is "WOW" they are not cheap! cribs, stroller, crib bedding, mattress, diaper genie, baby carrier, receiving blankets, baby monitor etc etc!!! I cant even find an old school breast pump! they are all electric operated and cost more than $130! I called mom immediately after and give her list of things to bring, nothing big of coz, teehee!


Butch and Mayo got her these cute baby booty! is so soft and comfy and is pink!



Cute baby fleece hoodie and toque got from Roots Factory outlet, good bargain! I dont know why they look so big in the picture but they are actually tiny!!

letting it out

Frustrated frustrated!!!

I wish i have the ability like them (ang moh) - talk like expert but work like crap!

like how we say it in Cantonese "kong zao tin har mou tik, zou zau mou lang wai lek"


The problem is, they are able to cover their ass by their mouth, and make ppls like us look like an idiot!

All I can do is say "nevermind" and bite my teeth so hard during the whole meeting and let me frustration out on the keyboard in my cubicle

feel like killing somebody now!


I think i should just "front stab" them right there and then infront of the bosses
