Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Aah. Gloomy weather again. Looks like it's gonna rain soon. The weather forecasts says sleet showers tomorrow. Seriously?? Sleet at the end of March?! That's not possible! Where's spring!! I want my blue sky!! Sadness. Yesterday was a stay at home Sunday, I like. Sweet simple Sunday :) Attempted making kuih tart, while Other Half studied. Yes! Kuih tart in London! The 172 pieces made from home have finished, and Other Half wants more. And since we're moving to a house without an oven (sobsob!!), might as well make it here and now before we move to the new, smaller, place tomorrow. We managed to find pineapple jam at our favourite Sainsbury's, made do with a normal cookie cutter instead of the usual pineapple tart mould, and also I had to modify the pineapple jam. Turned out pretty well :) Not the same, but good enough that Other Half loved it. Yay! Mission accomplished. Maybe I'll post up a foto of the tarts and other London fotos once I'm done editing. ...

I feel useless. One. I can't work. Fine. My fault for not backing up the entire T drive. Even if I did so, I can't back up my emails. Apparently the IP address clashes or something. And I can't change the current one cos it's a shared port. Maybe the new apartment I'll be able to. Hopefully. I get too hungry too often. Like every two hours? Speaking of eating. And food. Brings me to point number two. I can't cook. Yesterday's bee hoon goreng was a disaster :( Simple thing like that also cannot cook. I have a long way to go before I reach my mother's level :( Sucks sucks sucks.

I ate a lot today! And the day's not over yet! 6am: 1 banana, and a bowl of cereal. Normal morning stuff. 10am: a little leftover porridge. Hungry mah. And I needed to clean the pot. Haha. 12noon: one whole oversized portion of 2 piece chicken and fries from the local mama shop version of KFC. LOVE it. Actually I ordered 1 chicken piece and 3 spicy drumlets, for 2 pounds. but he gave me 2 pieces of chicken meal which costs 2.50. So I 'earned' 50p. Haha! At first I kinda hesitated buying it, walked into another shop before this thinking of getting fries only, then I changed my mind. And anyway if I change my mind AGAIN, there's 2 other similar shops I'd pass by. If so happen I missed it cos I was at the other end of the shopping area, then so be it. I'd go home and eat whatever I am going to cook. But. I was just fooling myself. Haha! Went in, got my sinful indulgence hehehe. 3pm: a little bowl of seafood tomyam. Hot from the pot! And I wonder why I am getting fa...

Dispatch Date: 18 March 2010 Delivery Date: 19 March 2010 Best Before: Doesn't matter. It'll all be gone before you know it.

Washing the car makes you appreciate and care for it more. The pain I felt when little drops of water splashed on the car! Not rain, no. If it were raindrops, it'll be slightly different. I like to see the droplets slide off the windscreen, still in the shape of a round water bubble. But no, it's those really small splashes from the trees or from another car that's too light to move. Argh! The horror! The marks they'll leave behind! Now that we're moving to a smaller and more affordable studio, I won't have my full blown oven anymore :( No more cakes or lasagne! Sian. We have a microwave instead, and I'm on the lookout for recipes using the microwave! Or cooking using just the stove. Like kuih bakar or something. HAHA. Very confident hor! :D Never mind I shall try! I do hope the new studio will be wonderful! :) Ten more so-near-yet-so-far days! Can't wait can't wait! ♥

Today I washed and waxed the car. Haha! Never before man. Though my patience was running out when waxing already -_-" And I didn't do a full cleaning. Next time lah hor. Which won't be anytime soon since next weekend I'll be busy! :) Maybe washing the car can be another of my escapes, just like scrubbing. HAHA. The second first! Yesterday was my first time driving in JB. The fun part was going home. With me and SIL only. Hehe! We detoured, and dunoe went where, and! We ended up at my relative's house. HAHA. From there we were on track already, and stopped by City Square. Okay lah. Doesn't seem as daunting. You just have to avoid getting into any form of accident. I can't wait for you to bring me on our Malaysian road trip :)
