Love From Dubai

I am sleeeeepy.

London time is 2am now. I should be sleeping but I'm not! Sian. I foresee a long jet lag he he he.

I've just got for myself the best seat! It's those long reclining chairs that's always taken, plus! I'm beside the notebook charger! And! Near my gate! Woohoo! I don't want to move!!! I don't care I'm sitting here until, hmm, gate closing! HAHAHAHA. Like real.

Reminder to self: pee before boarding.

Oh but then again, I'll have an aisle seat later! Whee~

I haven't blogged anything about London eh this time? And Andalucia too! Too much, you see. I didn't even keep a travel journal. But to sum it up, I feel like I just had the best four weeks of my life :) Very cliche, but isn't it so wonderful when it's true? Life with Other Half just keeps getting better. And it'll get better insyaAllah!

Oh man my eyes are just waayyyy too dry. I need to sleep!

Actually I need to pee. Haha!

I could have used the time to upload the few hundred fotos, but I didn't. I think I'll save it for boring nights at home. I'd probably upload some of the long overdue wedding fotos too. I haven't seen them for more than two months! Almost three, in fact. And they're lovely :) I shall definitely upload the foto FFL likes, the one in front of the Beetle? Haha then you can 'like' it on fb.

HAH! People walking past me are way way wayyyy jealous of this bloody fantastic seat I got! Too bad suckers!! I was here first!

I'll reach Singapore at night, then off to work the next morning!

Work.

Hmm. I kinda forgot all about it over the past four weeks. I thought I'd get some emails out even though I'm on leave, but on second thought, to heck with it. Wahahahahaha. We'll just see what kind of mess piled up when I was away.

Aaahhh!! Flight to London Heathrow is boarding now. I feel like taking that one instead!!! :(((

Never mind. Soon soon. Probably Emirates again. I could have qualified for somany Skywards points I guess. Would love to take SQ but it's so expensive. Give locals discount can? Haha.

Okay. I shall stop here. And enter the gate soon. Seems like there's no crowd outside the gate. Don't want to be late now, do we. They've threatened to deny latecomers from boarding and they will remove luggage from the plane too.

Toodles!

Maybe I'll watch High School Musical 3 again on the plane. Only light cheery stuff! None of those long, conversation-ish kinda movies. I have no patience. I tried watching The Time Traveler's Wife but I stopped. It was kinda fun watching the parts where the book covered, but the problem is I'm only at Chapter 2. HAHAHA. And I decided I shall finish the book before I watch the show. And maybe I'll watch it with Other Half and give him spoilers. *evil laughter* So!! No long soapy movies, bring on the fluff!!

Now's the real toodles.

Ahhh!! The PA is announcing boarding for Singhafur!! Singhafur!!

Bye!

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it

Rice Cooker Chicken Mushroom Claypot

All in one pot cooking, what's not to love!  Got this off tiktok, but I figured the chicken and mushroom in the recipe isn't enough. Wasn't really one pot cooking cos I cooked half of the chicken on a pan then added it later after the rice cooker was done. Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken marinade: 600g boneless thigh, cut into cubes 6 garlic, pound 2 inch ginger, pound 6 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce Rice: Half of the chicken marinade above 2 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups water 3 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 chicken cube (maybe 2 also can) 300g shitake mushrooms Coriander leaves, cut Spring onions, cut Marinate the chicken and leave it for about 30 min. Wash the rice. Add half the chicken marinade and all other ingredients into the rice cooker and mix well Cook using rice cooker. I cooked the remaining chicken over the stove and added the chicken, juices and all, into the rice cooker when it was just about done and needed a few minutes to set. M
