so what's the life like? erm, it's pretty much the same when francois was here. the only difference is, the setting of the room has been changed, we have a bigger study table now as to accomodate two precious laptops which obviously are the most important tool in our life respectively. And we started chipping in money to share the food expenses, household necessties which i believe can definitely cut down my daily expenses.
and yeah, something that is for sure i am going to blog about!!! we cook everyday! ok maybe it's not everyday, but almost 5 to 6 out of 7 days. that's very rare for lazy people like me to do.
first day of cooking : fried spaghetti
ingredients : sausages, minced beef, spaghetti, soy sauce, onion and pepper
task : obviously i am better than jason in cooking, so yeah, i did the cooking part. no offense jason. hehe.
risk: burn the kitchen down (my friend always says that: " i am not going to let you use my kitchen")
level of difficulty: 3 out of 5 (it requires lots of skill ok!!!!)
***how nice it is?****
self-rating: 4.5 out of 5
Jason's rating: 4 out of 5
**WOW, this is just nice!! ** please make a reservation if you would like to try it out
second day of cooking: omelette
ingredients: eggs, sausages, onion
task: i did the cooking part, Jason did the cutting part.
risk: burn the bottom part of the omelette(mind me, you can't flip it over, so to make sure the both side of the omelette is cooked, you will have to control the strength of the stove)
level of difficulty: 2.5 out of 5
***how good it is?***
self-rating: 2 out of 5
Jason's rating: 3 out of 5 ( his remark: taste is alright, but it looked awful!!!!)
****WTH, my omelette turned out to be scrambled eggs!!!! that's just so sad!!!! what's the reason? i almost burn the eggs, so in order not to burn it, i turned it into scrambled eggs!!!!***
third day of cooking: steamed fish
ingredients: f**cking-expensive-perch-fillet(which placed more pressure on me not to fail it), prune, ginger and soy sauce
task: marinate the fish with salt, then put one prune to flavour it, and some ginger on top. then steam it.
risk: diarrhoa if the fish isn't cooked enough, or awful looking fish if it's too cooked
level of difficulty: 4 out of 5
***how is it?***
self rating: 3 out of 5
Jason's rating: 3.5 out of 5
***ok, frankly speaking, it turned out quite soury and salty as i put too much salt and prune. nevertheless a nice try***
fourth day: spaghetti bolognaise
ingredients: spaghetti, tomato paste, minced beef, onion, garlic
task: easy la!!!
risk: no risk at all. ok perhaps a cut on my hand when i am cutting onions. oh yeah, tearing while cutting onions.
level of difficulty: 1 out of 5 (hehe, damn confident weh, but actually its not that easy to make nice bolognaise)
***huhu, heavenly cuisine***
self rating : 4 out of 5
Jason's rating: 4 out of 5
***its pretty easy, whoever can't cook it, you can no longer call yourself human***
ok, time for chinese food.
fifth day: stir fried bak choy, roasted chicken( just need to heat it up, hehe), onion eggs.
ingredients: bak choy, garlic, onion, eggs, soy sauce, pepper, wine
risk: the risk of not getting nice food
both party's rate: 4 out of 5
***well, i used red wine to stir fried the bak choy. it turned out nice!!! so you people might try it next time***
A lot more to go. i am not going to blog about them all. life is packed with work, having fun, and of course dealing with some never-can-be-resolved-problems. oh yeah, gota introduce who is this my new roommate to you.
Jason, doing Commerce in UNSW, was my secondary and college mate, but we never talked to each other before we saw each other in UNSW.
oh yeah, Kai was here last week. i met up with her and went out with her for a few hours. i was working though. i was damn happy to see her, and a big hug when i saw her on the first day in QVB.
"you are still skinny, why do they say you are fatter now?" she said.
so people, call me no fatty!!!! kai has testified me!!!!
kai and me. it's been too dark to take a clear pic. kai's scarf on me, and i didnt know how to wear a scarf.lol. i seriously think that i will suffocate myself while putting on the scarf around my neck. i'll be the first ever person who is killed by the scarf, myself.
me, kai, Jason, and yihong chilled out at gloria-jean until 1.30 am.
see you in london kai!!!
