touched.....

today is the post-XT's bday day.... altho in FM's calendar, it is a week-long festival of celebration of the princess' bday. ha ha.

anywayz, this festival came abt bcos i was a little down yest, even tho it was my bday. it was nice. mom cooked mee sua for me. so i had a simple lunch w mom, dad and FM. FM cooked me dun tang! ha ha. it was nice.



but cos both of us kena cold, so we din go out for dinner. plus worship prac was rough and ended REALLY late, and pple in prac din even wish me bday (its no big deal, but i cant help feeling disappointed.) all added up.. made me feel really really blue.... so FM came up with the week long festival thing... ha ha...

anywayz, i was really really touched by FM's sweetness today... i was practising piano and abt to go wash up and go for tuition. halfway thro a piece my mobile rang. i ignored it. after the piece, i saw the missed call from FM. called him back.. and he told me... look out .. and i saw the silhueote of a long limb waving upwards with a bouqeut. i was like HUH?!?!

thanks baby... i'm really really touched by this really really sweet gesture.... anywayz, here's the pic of the frowers that made my day... more like... the sweet act that made my day (even tho i hv to carry that.. uh-hmm for a couple of years.. haiz... ha ha)




oh... den today i had dinner with haz... after a long long time... so... its really nice.. the post-xt's bday-day...

mussels with cream sauce....

abt 1.5 kg of mussels, washed (they are really cheap at sheng shiong)
.5 cup of white wine
100ml cream
a few stalks of leeks
chopped garlic
3 ounces of butter (tts wat he says, but do i noe ounces? i noe agar agar)

fry chopped garlic in butter. stir in leeks and stir fry for a couple of mins. pour in wine and cook til the alcohol content is gone (use scent technique). pour in cream. simmer for a while. throw in mussels. simmer and stir as and when for 5 mins (he claims, but we stir for longer than that). den VIOLA.... yummy.

2. pasta soup (i coined the name again. our philippines frens gave us some after the worship prac. i asked how its cooked, she just say evaporated milk. so here's a anyhow try shot... which came out to be too milky in FM's opinion)

1/2 pc of sweet onion (tt's agar agar too)
1 can of evaporated milk (tt's agar agar too)

sautee carrot, sweet onion, garlic, meat in butter. pour in milk. den water. i dunno how much. just whack. den salt. den pepper. den pour in cooked pasta. and viola... strange tasting dish.. ha ha

3. fried egg with onion
