Just feels like blogging. Nothing else to do. Woke up from a nap and felt like puking. Must be due to the 'luo han guo + chyrsanthemum' tea that i had been filing myself w since yest. Too sweet to be taken before a nap.
Went to Laguna yesterday. Its a grocery store open by an indo. So, it has more variety of malay+indian food than the chinese grocery store a few streets away. Due to its slightly inconvenient location, my friends and i seldom go there. But once we do, its like being in paradise. We can find kuae lapis, tau sa bin, all kind of malay chili sauces, indian curry and so much more. Everything i see makes me misses my mother more. Simply because i do not know how to cook those things like assam paste. Also, if my parents are here, it will be 3 eating, not only one so it will be more worth the effort and time put in to prepare the meals.
Guess now i understand why the people here like to have potluck so often. Because most of them are staying alone or with another hsemate hence seldom cook. Even if they do cook, it will only be a dish or two or more often instant mee. Hence when the desire to cook arises, its time for potluck. To spend hours after hours in preparing one meal that will be served to many others. This will make the time spend and energy used more worthwhile.
My friend and i strolled down aisle after aisle, not missing a single one. Stopping at almost every section to examine what products they have carefully. Almost every step we take make us miss sing's food more. There are instant products such as Thai green curry paste, Emperor's chicken and more but i didnt buy any. Not because i'm too lazy to cook. But because the serving portion is too much for me. I do not want to have the same food day after day. Neither do i want to throw anything away aft keeping it in e fridge for half a month. So, we went to the instant noodles section and spend time choosing our favouite flavors. The 'collection' is amazing. There are representatives from Thailand, China, Korean, Japan and Indonesia. There is dry and soup based. From tung fen to ramen. Seafood to vegetarian. We are simply spoilt for choice. Every single one looks so delicious that we felt like rushing home to cook and eat them immediately. But we did out best to control our cravings and went to a Shanghai dumpling restaurant for dinner instead. There, we had 'drunken chicken', 'salted duck', 'xiao long bao', fried rice and not forgetting 2 plates of 'jian jiao'. We were greedy. Very greedy. There were only 4 of us. 4 girls. And once again. We ordered more than necessary and finish everything.
By the time i reach home, i was in the mood for snacks. So i took out my recent purchase of fried anchovy from Thai and munch on them while watching my korean drama. I got sick of them after a while and started on Callebe black pepper prawn crackers. I finished it for breakfast the next day.
So, dear friends, pls be prepared to receive a super-upsize me when i arrive at the airport in dec. Or maybe you wont even get to see me as i didnt vote. Hence i may be detain at the immigration counter. Then what is my puppy going to do? It will be there alone waiting for me to come out. But when will that be?? Poor thing.
