worth annoucing
another great dish by MOI!
don't ask me what it's called cos i have no idea. i don't even know which part of the pig it belongs too! i just found the easiest piece of meat that was sticking out of the fridge and looks nice to me. HAHA. i didn't follow any recipe of any kind, in case you're wondering. haha. it was all impromtu~
sean and i were hungry, my family's at the club and they're going to have dinner there and sean doesn't want to go down. i was bored and sick of playing solitaire, so i walked to the kitchen and thought,"
why don't i just cook?!" so yah. haha!
it was a bit salty, i think i added too much soy sauce in the beginning when i was trying to get the
just nice texture. my bad! haha.
i shall christian this dish! please help me decide which is a better name..
Sweet and Salty Pork or
Soy Oystered Pork!
ANOTHER SUCCESS! hurhur.
p.s. photo taken only after finishing dinner. HAHA. totally forgot to take photo of it before we ate it.

soaking in the moment
caring, devoted and absolutely sweet.
baby has been that way for as long as i can remember, and i'm loving it.
he wouldn't take the day off today because i couldn't. but i told him to cos he was feeling unwell. then he said i should too cos i was so tired. hehe. but i had no choice, i HAVE to be in school. so i told him to just take the day off, and he did. then we walked over to 85 for breakfast, met his colleague there and when the guy asked how come sean wasn't dressed for work, sean was like "i have flu, better stay away, later i pass to you" i nearly laughed out loud :P
so here i am in school, while he's at home playing game and resting inbetween.
ARGH!! i just found out that my ulcer is bleeding!

yesterday
the well commercialised valentine's day yesterday didn't get a single cent from sean and myself. HAHA!
after class, we spent one hour playing CS, only because we ended at 2pm. HAHA. way earlier than others. i left at 3pm for home.
went home and i was feeling really tired so i fell asleep on sean's lap while he was sitting on the sofa and playing game. HAHA. partly also cos my ulcer was killing the shit out of me and i didn't want to do anything. ANY IDEA HOW TOUGH IT IS TO HAVE AN ULCER WHERE IT'S NOT INSIDE THE MOUTH NOR OUT?! so yah.
so yah, was just sleeping away until 7pm and i woke up. Then, sean offered to buy porridge for me which i gladly accept! so he went out to 85 to buy while i stayed home. hehe. after which, i packed the laptop and laundry and then we head for my parents place. THANK GOD sean bought porridge for me cos my maid cooked
fried chicken! so hehe. i had my delicious minced meat porridge with egg.
shiok!
then we stayed there for a while until we had to head home cos his parents were coming over. but they stayed for less than ½ hour, which i'm quite glad, cos i was super tired and all i wanted was sleep.
but apparently, mr wong had something else in mind... HAHA.

the perfect man
just finished watching one of hilary duff's movie,
The Perfect Man and i was wondering, is there anything such as
The Perfect Man?
i'd like to think so, cos i'm more than sure that i have found my perfect man in my husband.
most girls would say they want their prince charming to be tall, dark and handsome. some would also say he should be romantic, caring and wholesome. they might love him even more if he was humorous, pleasant and anything but cumbersome.
but, is this the perfect man for you?
it sounds all too good to be true - it can be if you can find such a man - but are you really looking for this kind of person to love and love you in return? and if you are, is that man looking for the same qualities in his woman? and so, if he is, are you that perfect in his eyes as well? perfect that you're petite, fair and beautiful? that you're just as a romantic, a caring and wholesome person? and that you have a sense of humor, is pleasant to be with and is definitely anything but cumbersome?
i would say that the perfect man for a woman is one that completes her, likewise for the perfect woman for a man. in this way, wouldn't it be the cliched
2 becomes 1 or
you complete me term, which is what everyone use in most of their love poems, songs and etc?
as i was saying, i found the perfect man in my husband. not because he's tall, dark and handsome; or that he's romantic, caring and wholesome; or because he's humorous, pleasant and anything but cumbersome.
i mean, he isn't very tall for a guy, but he's taller than me. he's not dark, but not too fair either. he is good-looking, but never as pretty and handsome as those in fairytales. he's not a romantic but he showers me with surprises when i least expect it (think out the box). he is definitely caring, although sometimes he just turns a deaf ear when he's too engrossed in his games. he is a wholesome figure now, after he's over the rebellious teenage years and all the ex-girlfriends, ex-lovers. he is definitely humorous, to a point of being sacarstic at times of annoyment. he is pleasant without a doubt and would always find a way to everyone's heart, that i can't deny makes me jealous sometimes. and he is cumbersome at times, that i have to admit.
so why do i say he's the perfect man for me? it's simple, because;
1/ i don't have to strain my neck too much when i want to kiss him
2/ it's good to know that we are both not very into outdoor sports or much of a sun-lover
3/ i don't have to worry that other girls would want to snatch him away from me cos he's only good-looking, haha, and not price charming handsome :P
4/ practical surprises are endless and never fails to not only amuse me at times but it can also increase my knowledge of things surrouding the world! romance to me has a short life span (how far can it go? jewellery, flowers, chocolates or a new dress at most).
5/ i get pre-occupied when i'm either watching tv shows, reading the papers, typing out my blog or talking. haha, yes, i can get pretty occupied by talking that i won't even know you're talking to me. haha.
6/ i have a temper that would erupt like a dormant volcano, and he is one that can help prevent the eruption :)
7/ he makes me so happy at times that i just want to cry, so that i can tease him back when he starts to worry as to what made me cry, and go
HAHAHA! all in the name of FUN! :P
8/ he makes me want to nice, and gives me tips on how to be naughty, sacarstic and sharp. isn't it just pleasantly great that we're both encouraging each other to have the best of both worlds, be it good or evil? haha.
9/ only through the good times and bad times, would you know if a man would stand by you regardless of what may happened. yes, even if it's to make him run down or drive out to help you buy something to eat or play with cos you're just too lazy to move an inch. or to let you try something really delicious and frightening at the same time to help you get over your fear (frogs!), with you pouting and whining the whole time.
10/ i can act like a small kid who just learnt how to talk and get away with it cos he'll play along too. or act like some professional in something and fall flat on my face in embarassment and he'll be there to laugh it all off for me, or was it at me? hmm..
11/ and most importantly, he
never ever shouts at me. he reasons with me when i do something wrong, gives me time to cool off before comforting me and offer a helping hand, listens to me when i talk and doesn't look down on me just because i'm 12 years younger but respects me as an individual, as a woman.
now, tell me, is he the perfect man for me or is he the perfect man for me!
well, bless all you darlings out there who have found and is with your partner in life, as for those who are looking for and/or waiting for your own special and customized perfect man to come along in life, just remember this, as i have told many others before,
there is one special person meant for you in this lifetime, you just got to look into the right corners of this earth or wait at the right corners for him to come along :P
(words used to describe are plainly based on stereotypes of what men and women want in their other half. no offence should be taken as stereotypes, are well, just stereotypes, and not everyone is like that.)

all the wongs doing
i cooked sweet and sour pork for dinner on sunday, chinese new year 1st day.
a lot of people commented that the meat was too tough, but honestly, i know why it's hard. it's not because i overcooked it (and i seriously doubt you can eat pork medium done) but because the meat used for it is the wrong part of the pig. hahaha.
i remember the first time i went to buy pork to cook sweet&sour pork, the uncle told me that sweet and sour pork needs a different part of the pig to use to cook, if not it won't be nice. so yah, and i'm rather positively sure that it is the wrong part cos the one my mum bought for me looks very different from the one the uncle gave me. his has more fats, but mum's one is like lean meat or something. oh wells!
till the next time i attempt to cook. haha.
