Spring Cleaning

The sun must have rose from the west over the weekend. Suddenly became very domesticated, spent time cooking at home and most of all, spring cleaning!!!! The dreaded pre-CNY having to yell and scream at task but miracle of all miracles, my parents did not have to ask this year round. Somehow I noticed that some of my drawers and items are just very badly organized and did all these over the weekends, chucked out alot of expired toiletries and used up containers. I even did some of these organizing on the day I was home because of medical leave.

I think I deserve a pat on my back for my discipline and motivation haha!

Korean Pancake

Tried Korean pancakes at restaurants before...always pretty yummy but quite expensive. So passed by the Korean supermarket that day and decided to buy a ready mix pancake flour to concoct my own Korean pancakes. The flour mix stated it can feed up to 3-4 pax.

And today is the day of the big reveal. Wanted to do a seafood flavour but don't have enough seafood at home and forgot to buy some kimchi otherwise could do kimchi flavor. Nonetheless, was about to gather some ingredients and make my own flavor. Added prawn, crab sticks, cabbage and ham.

And here's the final product and it made a full lunch for the 4 of us and we were able to make 6 slices from the mix, could be more if we dilute the flour more though. Cheap and delicious.

Bad Start to 2011

Gosh, 2011 just started and already I have one bad news after another. First in the 3rd day of the new year, I got this bad flu, fever and cough. But yet on the 4th day need to go back to work cos an employee was leaving and I had to be around to do exit clearance. So ended up staying late cos he doesn't want to leave the office until he printed out some stuff for his daughter so I waited and waited until about 7 pm before we left.

Given that it was so late, my colleague decided to drop me off somewhere convenient since he was taking a cab. Lo and behold, upon leaving the cab, realized I lose my mobile phone. Tried calling and calling but it just kept ringing. Came home, grab dinner and took a cab down to the office to look for it as the last place I remember holding my mobile was right outside the office door.

But checked every nook and ring and ring my phone but still no one responded. It is a lost cause, had to call the mobile provider to deactivate my line and won't be back in the office on the 5th day due to medical leave so have asked my colleague to help check with the security guard tomorrow - truly a bad start to 2011.

I hope that's the worst already and from now on, all things that happen will be great and bring me lots of happiness *keeping my fingers crossed*
