There are only 28 days in February

Gutted! Absolutely gutted! How can Matt Evers be out of the competition?!?!?!?! Geeeeee will miss him so much every Saturday evening :(. (FYI: Matt Evers is a pro figure skater currently on Dancing on Ice - a Brit TV Show)

Thought I spent too much last month and this month as well. But it turn out not as bad as I've thought. Anyhow, really need to keep track of my spending more tightly now. Had been spending sooooo much on clothes and food....gee...so guilty. To look at it at a more optimistic way, I suppose it's a good thing as it motivates me to work harder and earn more money. Too bad money don't fall from the sky :(.

I'd say 2007 is a boring start for me so far. Nothing really interesting happened. Geee so disappointed with what's ahead. It's time to get myself together and make something happen! Don't worry, I wouldn't go around stabbing miserable people on the streets.

A few weeks ago someone asked me a question: "So what have you achieved in your life? And what would you like to achieve?". Gee it kept me thinking for a bit. I'd say it's an easy yet 'unanswerable' question. I suppose I must have achieved something after all these years and having come so far...Yet, I stumbled on the question. Frankly, the question had kept me thinking for a good few weeks. So, besides all the normal sh*t ...school, college, uni, work, my answer would be, "to experience living the life of different kinds of people in the world". It seems like a Biggie, but I am determined. However so, I think I can consider having achieved almost about 30% of this so called ambition. Well, everyone has a measuring tape in their hearts. You can define all the metrics you ever wanted!

Ice skating lessons anyone?

Life only gets complicated when you wanted it to be

Butter Pork

Having about half a pack of curry leaves left, I made a second attempt on the Butter "Prawns" recipe. This time, its Butter Pork :P...cos there is only pork left in the fridge.

It was better this time. More egg shreds and tasted more buttery ^^. Mission accomplished!...

Butter Prawns Recipe:
Ingredients:

• Prawns (or any other meat of your choice)
• Egg yolks
• Evaporated/Condensed milk
• Butter/Margarine
• Curry Leaves
• Chopped Chillies
• Seaoning: salt + sugar (about 1/2 tsp each)

Instructions:

1. Heat oil & deep fry prawns (or fry till cook any meat used). Drain oil and set aside
2. Mix well egg yolks and condensed milk
3. Heat up saucepan/wok with some oil. Melt butter with low heat.
4. Pour the egg yolks into the butter slowly and keep stirring until the mixture form fine shreds.
5. Add in chillies, seasoning and curry leaves and mix well
6. Put in prawns/meat, mix well, drain off excess oil and serve.

Note: Amount of butter used should be relatively more than egg yolks to produce the desired egg shreds results.

Butter "Prawns" & Cookies

In the attempt to improve my culinary skills, I tried out my second time of Butter Prawns. Went to Asda yesterday and was quite surprised to find fresh Curry Leaves! (imported from India). And so decided to try out some Butter Prawns recipes. Since I can't really find big and fresh prawns (hardly any in UK!), decided to go for an alternative - some seafood selection.

Results:
I think it was not as good as my first ever attempt...some few years back! Maybe because I've not put in enough oil and butter (very fat :P). And therefore, the egg bits weren't crispy enough. But the taste is OK.

Made some cookies last week. I think it tasted better than the last time. At least it was an improvement ^^

Let it snow! Let it snow

Many ppl say Christmas comes late. That's cos nowadays it doesn't snow in Dec anymore. Mr Snow Generator's late for two months.

It snowed again today, for the whole day. The heaviest first time for 2007.
