Driving!!!

SOOOOOOOOO FUN!!! Hah, despite going out late, taking a wrong bus and missing the right bus, i still managed to reach 5mins before time! WARH. so sibei heng. cos if late will lugi, 1hr of driving lesson cost 24barks hor!

andd... why my instructor so... not young one... even the car is not that young... eee. doesnt feel good sitting in a lao-kok-kok old car, and he doesnt want to switch on the blardy air-con!!! Almost melted inside.

So for the first 30mins, i...
- got brain-washed about the advantages of taking manual.
- learn to hold the steering wheel. (anyone who plays daytona should know this lor)
- adjust the driver's seat, rear mirror, side mirror, etc etc. (NB: PO LI = window, jia shi pang = steering wheel, lift up the right handle =signal left, down=right)
- know the various parts of car...
- vroom-vroomed the engine!!! with handbrake down. hah.
- golden rule: the clutch is a very... (*&^%$#^&$&$ thingy, it needs to be depress blardily far, anddd... it always cause si chia! cant rem very well now... think release clutch too fast is a sure way to get si chia.
- drive forward and reverse 300x. @ gear 1...
- make a u-turn, AND WENT OUT TO THE MAIN ROAD(this part is nerve-wrecking... for me)

so for the next 30mins, i...
-cruised around BBDC area, at a leisure *coff* speed of not exceeding the 3rd gear... think about...30km/h. lol.
- very troublesome to change gear, need to release gas pedal, step on clutch COMPLETELY, change gear, slowwwwwly relase clutch, and slooowwwwwly step on gas. almost freaked out.

just very fun ... exciting, and feels pro-ish.

ANYWAYYYYYYYYYY. instructor going overseas for like 2blardy weeks, so... no driving... BOOHOOHOO!

afterr that, got another disastrous haircut by my first official hairstylist. we browsed thru the magazine, den choose something that SHOULD have make me look like a sweet demure thing... but in the end... ... ... ... ... ... ... BOOHOOHOO again.

bcos of thatttttt, and seriously considering JX's and some !#QM@&^%@# comments... i shall, not cut(but trim lar) my hair for the next 5mths or so... till i can become my old self of Jeju ajussi-s killers (female version of shi nai shao shou)
heres the evidence ...

see!!! they treat me to lunch, helped me down the mountain, then treat dinner, and send me back in a taxi leh!!!

KT + CY's birthday

Celebrated KT and CY's birthday yesterday at a pasta/pizza shop at bugis... ummz, called Sketches. Very very as usually, birthday dinner, followed by surprise bday cake and then movie! Hahaahaha~

no pics leh... marc nv send. tsk. My camera is held hostage at panasonic HQ waiting for me to bail him out... argh. marnie's gone again. so super duper not cheap... blardy panasonic.

watched ratatouille!!! Remy and his brother is like so super duper ultra cute!!! They looked more hamsters with long tail lor, hamster have the cute puffy cheek big roundish eyes look while rat has that sly ratty look... = NOT CUTE.

kinda inspired by that too... soo..... I MADE PASTA TODAY!!!!!

the ingredientsssssss

baby carrot, ham, veggie
shitake mushrooms, tomato paste, tomatoes
maggi mee, dumplings

firsst, wash the veggiesss


then, boil the baby carrots followed by green veg, remove the green veg, throw in the dumpling, remove the carrot and the dumpling, throw in the maggi mee, drain off the water...

now for the sauce...


chop the tomatoes into millipieces firssttt.

while chopping, boil like a small bowlfull of water, add tomato paste and whatever seasoning available. I added salt, pepper, grape seed oil, 5-spice powder, light soya sauce, maggi msg.

throw in the chopped tomatoes!!!

dont forget about the mushrooms and ham! slice the mushrooms and tear the ham and dump them into the sauce. let it simmer? for sometime till the tomatoes becomes a mushy mess. Simmer somemore to boil off excess water... till it becomes something like...


This!

Finally... pour sauce onto noodles...


Ta dang!


well... the green vege, dumpling and carrots are eaten seperately.

Coming to the very important question... is it worth the 45mins of cooking time, almost $10 of grocery marnie, all the cutting and slogging and washing???


ZHI DE!

hahaha, really not bad lor!!! got colour, smell and taste.


completed the 300pc puzzle!
