ECP Picnic with LZB (lau zhar bors)

Who's the one preparing the food???
ME LAH!!! Hahahaha
Jo was telling me, eh I don't know how to cook, I will be in charge of the drinks.
I didn't expect her to prepare food in the first place what..LOL

Anyway, I prepared Aglio Olio, Cajun Deviled eggs and grilled prawns.
I am lazy to give the recipe now, just GOOGLE lor!!
It's a heavenly place where you can find all sorts of recipe!

We were quite sway la because we were eating half way and was attacked by strong wind and dark clouds begin to cover the sky. And all the sand came flying into out 1/4 left over food.
We decided to pack and sit on the stone table and bench instead, not long after, it rain -___-
A fast one, and we saw rainbow after that!!!!

Went to the HongKong cafe after that for some snacks and proceed to the beach to have some night view.
Decided to have some durian feast and we headed down to Upper Serangoon road for Beef noodle for dinner and Durian after that.
The 2 charbo insisted on buying the $1 durian to try, IT WAS DAMN GROSS!!!
Tasteless, gross texture.....
We bought the AI QING GUO durian immediately, cost $17 per liap! SO MUCH NICER LOR!!!!
Jo was saying she can't differentiate the different kind of durian, she said it tasted the same...but after that day, she says really has a big difference!!!

Ended the night with a satisflying tummy! =)

Yesterday's dinner was Rendang Chicken with Couscous

I bought Naan as well to eat it with the Rendang Sauce. Yum yum!

Ingredients:
1 pack Rendang kit (comes with the sauce and coconut milk)
800g of chicken (bought the wings and drumlets)
1 pack of Couscous
675ml of chicken broth
1 medium size onion (diced)

Salt and sugar to taste.

Directions:
1. Add onion to oil and stir till browned.
2. Add in Rendang paste and stir till frangrant.
3. Add chicken and mix well (make sure it is coated evenly with the sauce)
4. Pour in coconut milk and let it simmer for 20 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent burnt.

Couscous- just follow the box instruction. I added some butter and turmeric powder to taste.

ps: Personally, I don't like the taste of couscous. Very floury. I think the Rendang is delicious!! Eat it with Plain white rice or Biryani rice will be an excellent choice!

Ham and Mushroom Spaghetti with Pesto Sauce

Tonight's dinner was Spaghetti.
I bought this Pesto sauce last Saturday at Carrefour.
Always wanted to try cooking Pesto Spaghetti but didn't get a chance, so tonight, I bought fresh mushrooms and picnic ham as ingredients.

I added some sugar and salt to taste, if not, it's a little sour.

Spaghetti (size of a twenty cent coin = 1 pax)
Picnic Ham (6 slices)
Mushrooms (depend how many you want)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 big white onion (chopped or sliced)
2 tbsp oil
salt and pepper
Sugar
Minched Basil
Chilli flakes
Grounded Black pepper
1 bottle of Leggo's Pesto Sauce

Directions:

Heat Frying Pan and add oil.
Add garlic and onion and fry till fragrant
Add mushroom and Ham.
Pour in 3/4 cooked Spaghetti and a bottle of Leggo's Pesto Sauce ( they come in different flavors).
Toss it properly and add salt and sugar to your desire taste.
Put the spaghetti in a serving dish and serve.

Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009

This was my 2nd 10km run. The first one was last dec Stand chart run and I have improved!!!
Last year's timing was 1hr29mins, I think this year should be around 1hrs10 or 15 mins,
not too sure yet. But my eldest sis clock 1hr3mins...

The whole run was quite smooth as I took Kris advice for running slower than my normal comfortable pace for the first 5km, after that then took up speed!
And I realised I really ran quite fast at the end, keep overtaking ppl, damn shiok!
The singlet for this years' Sundown is really nice BUT M size is too tight for me!!!! Damn sian!!!
In the end wore my own singlet....*yawn*

Mum, Dad and Kris came to support us as well hehehehe, so nice right?
Mum was so sweet because after the run, she saw me perspiring like hell, so she took out an handkerchief and started wiping my sweat from my face while i was busy talking to sis and kris. It was only after awhile that I realised Mum had used the same hanky to wipe sis's sweat...

Took more pictues before the run...I know I look horrible after the run..























Give you people 4 Numbers ah!! Tio 4D!!!! Lai lai~~




































































Kris came to support me too!






















The family~

















After the race......tired...

AM I PREGNANT?

Today, while my family and I were on our way down to have our Mother's Day dinner, Xavier (my 6 years old nephew) asked me....

"San Yi (3rd aunt), you have baby?" (looking at my tummy)

"No, why?"

"I think you and Uncle Kris should get married."

"Why?"

"Because the two of you are in love, so you should get married"

I don't know whether that is an insult or what...HAAHAHAHA
I was wearing this super baggy doll-like top which makes me look really like a pregnant lady, plus I really have a little huge tummy.
But suddenly, I remember Xavier wanting Kris to be at my place every Sunday so that he could play some board games with him. He looked super disappointed whenever I told him Uncle Kris is at home.
So, its either....
1. He really thought I am pregnant by looking at my big tummy
2. He wanted Kris to marry me so that he do not need to go back home so that he can play games with him.

But I think the first one is more accurate since it happened in the lift and he was standing right in front of me with his little head facing my huge tummy.

SAD!

SNOWBALL AGAIN!!!!
SUPER ADORABLE!!!

I like the Back Street Boys song the best!
