jamming...

hah. no didn go jamming today. went on wednesday. hehe. it was quite fun. got drummer got bassist got 3 guitarist. whats more its free. haha. + bob has his irritatingly funny "chun li theme", "ken theme" solos... damm irritating. just cuts through all the beat and groove and suddenly you hear very familiar tune you use to hear on your gameboy(no color)... -_-

wow. i almost forgot today is feb 29. haha. but =s nth special to me la. haha. that movie seem bout feb 29 with li lin in it seems watchable... but news said it had potiential but didn turn out well. =s doubt my frens will watch that anyways.

Yesterday and today, i went out with camera and took some pics! ehhh... mostly lousy crappy shots but i had fun playing arnd with exposure and depth of field.

some "nicer" shots.

hah. went to bras basah today. bought a few art supplies. gonna paint! lol. i wonder how it will turn out... hah.

~ electrifying! ~

have a look at this! video explains itself. its really worth all the multiple clicks trying to get the video to play on my blog. haha.

~F1225! 13-11!! 13-11!!~

haha. went to watch the "L" movie last night with the guys. i'd say it was quite a good show. MUCH better than juno. urgh. PLS dun watch juno. haha.

In the L movie, theres this weird but cute boy who doesn seem to be able to speak normal language. although he does now how to shout numbers. haha. very cute.

The show moves at quite a moderate pace. Not too fast that you can tell they skip alot of things, and not too draggy that you wanna fall aslp. (exception is the part where they running away from train station. just keep showing them running... very boring leh. haha). Although i must say the original death note had alot more surprises in the plot.

k la dun wanna spoiler u all too much, so just go watch the show already! hehe.

~~

2 nice songs i "discovered" recently. hah. the first is from all american rejects.(i just realised almost their entire album in 2005 contains VERY NICE SONGS)

2nd song is from a very talented youtuber (sounds like a new strain of tapioca), user name: ling86 she's SG and apparently, shes getting/got signed by some record company. haha. but dunoe which bugger go hack into her youtube account. :S anyways enjoy the songs...

ohhh and i tried to cook pasta carbonara the other day. bleahs it was a flop. and im still kinda mystified as to what went wrong. haha. the whole process looked quite ok until the last step... im thinking MAYBE i shud pour the sauce into the pan over direct flame. =s maybe i will try again another time. haha. but here's an animated gif which documented the process.






and then there was a little accident as well... first batch of bacon got over fried so i had to re-fry them... (this was what the chao da bacon looked like)

Thats all for now. take care peeps. waha..

~ Operation Red Fish ~

heehee... Cooked my first "proper" dish today. proper, as in not in the same class as instant noodles or scrambled eggs.

its this baked? salmon-potato thingy. hahaha. the results were not bad actually. just not fantastic. If i were to do it again i'd know how to improve it. heh.

i was actually ¾-ways through the thing when i remembered i should take a photo of it to post. haha. so have to arrange the thing nicely and take angle shots. lol. so heres a picture.



haha. some of the salmon got abit overcooked, and as i was already ¾-ways through, the nicer portions have already been eaten. lol. this also explains why in the picture the "meat" have a resemblance to char-siew. but like i said i now know how to improve it and IF i were to make this again, i know how to prevent it from getting burnt up.


all in all, i tink today's little cooking venture was a success. i mean, how wrong can you get with salmon and potatoes? haha. erhhh other ingredients were: dill weed, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and a leeetle bit of scotch(sorry cudn resist, but in the end i cudn really taste it)

next time i might try lamb! haha. or maybe some dessert thing. hmmmm. we'll see. haha. cooking is fun!

~ WOW. valentine's day ~

suppose i should have an entry? hah. not so much cos its valentine's day or wad. but its almost one week since my last entry. so here i am, updating again.

i've gotten much better already. haha. past few days have been... slacking. hah. cleared up my room abit but theres still ALOT more to be done. gonna try cooking smth soon. haha. maybe salmon or lamb. hehehe.

erhhh... so its valentines day. wad have i to say bout it. tried to think of something chim to say but =s call me unromantic but its just valentine's day to me la. haha. makes no difference to "No Money No Honey Nobody Loves Me"(NMNHNLM) ppl like me. haha.

the other day i was just with jeremy and he was buying present for his girlfriend. he got this halter top from guess which cost him 100+ dollars. and he seems to be lavishing her with expensive gifts every now and then. i mean, u've got the financial means to, go ahead, be my guest. just that i was thinking... do nice presents ALWAYS have to have "nice" price tags? thinking of what present to give someone can get really tiring. but i feel that when the person gets the gift, the amount of effort and thought that went behind that present can be seen easily. thats why i feel its nice to really go through it and think about what kind of present to gift and how it is presented to the person. like that border's member which seno's gf gave during his bday. i thought that was a really cool and thoughtful present.

speaking of which. hui xin's bday is coming soon. and we're still trying to come up with smth to get her under the budget of $140... at first we thought bag. then her cousin just gave her a gucci bag. =s and this is the 2nd 21st bday of the clique this yr.

going to byrant's celebration this comiing sat... hah. looking forward to seeing my army buddies again. =)
