Valentine's Day of 2012

How was your Valentine's Day? I know it was like 2 weeks ago but yeah I am that lazy. We just went for a simple dinner with his parents and go shopping. But he did something that was such a surprise. This bouquet was waiting for me when I arrive home. So sweet can!!!!! You can't really see the number of roses. But there were 9  stalks,  which means 'Together Forever' (Bi told me one) Bi told me that he wont be buying me flowers this year as he wanted to save and flowers are blardy expensive on V-day. So I was really touched!!!!! And he knew I loved pink and so Bi got me pink roses mixed with smaller blooms of red roses. Simple makeup look (Yeah yeah its the same pic that  I am using as my profile pic) Did very simple makeup for dinner since someone don't like me with heavy makeup. Like this he also complain already. He is always after me saying that he doesn't want me to use makeup, he prefer me to go out with a naked face. My dinner!!!!...
I am so in love with Katy Perry's The one that got away! But I am glad that the song doesn't apply to me. Coz I have "The One" by my side. For now and forever.

Exercise regime

Tried out interval running today. Well it feels great. I did not want to start with the most basic. So I started with 5 sets of 3/2 with 5 mins of warm up and cool down. Surprisingly I felt tired but still able to play badminton. 3/2 simply means running for 3 minutes followed by 2 mins of brisk walking. There are lots of benefits for interval running. But first and foremost it can be for weight loss in addition to Increase of stamina. After running, I played badminton! It was fun although I did sort of cause my partner to lose 2 matches. Haha. Well the opponent was damn strong ok. Me and a guy versus 2 guys! Oh well it was a very fun match. The others of coz won coz it was ladies double. Have to train harder as the charity run gets nearer
I literally lazed around the whole day on Sunday!!!! Lazy de me.  Had an 'AH-HA' moment when I saw that there was loads of white bread in the fridge.  The 'AH-HA' moment Stale white bread = bread pudding  I had cravings for some bread pudding for like ages! So after dinner, I had Bi driving me to Hua Ho to get the ingredients. There was some bananas lying around in the kitchen as well so I had decided to make banana bread pudding! Ingredients: Very ripe bananas around 4-5 pieces. If you love bananas, just add more.  6 eggs 4 cups half and half. (I had to google this. I had known that this will not be available in Brunei so I made some substitution. Equal parts of whole milk and whipping cream) 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (without sugar) 1/2 stick of butter unsalted 1 teaspoon nutmeg (Hua Ho dun have this spice. I got it at Le apple) 3/4 cups sugar Slice all the bananas . Melt abit of butter and add in 2 table spoon of brown sugar. Ad...

Simple yet delicious dinner

The other day I did post that I really feel like eating Japanese Curry. So I went off work promptly on time on Wednesday (no baddie coz they are having the netball tournament). Got ready all the ingredients and quickly rushed home. I have never cooked Japanese Kare before but it should be easy peasy as described online. Ingredients: Carrots Potatoes Onions Fresh Tomatoes Boneless Chicken breasts Salt Tongarashi (coz the kare is not spicy enough) Sugar Just stir fry the onions, carrots, fresh tomatoes and potatoes until fragrant and then mix in the chicken breast pieces until brown. Mix in the kare pieces. Add in hot water (or chicken stock) and cook thoroughly, which is roughly around 15 to 20 minutes, stirring from time to time. When it is about done, mix in salt and sugar according to taste. I mixed in some tongarashi coz the Japanese Kare is really not spicy at all! Here you go!!!! The end result!!!! Its pretty hassle free. So if you are in a hurry...
Been so long since I last post anything. The reason is that with 1 click I had lost almost all my photos in blogger. (Its like 85% of the photos were lost). Such pity!!!! Anyway, I am cooking dinner tonight. Don't be so surprised can? I can cook. This can be verified from the pure weight gain of Abbi. The theme for tonight will be Japanese (more or less) Hopefully I will remember to take photos of everything that I'll be making tonight.
