This will be a long post.




EMBRACE YOURSELVES.

Whew.
The past few days have been exceptionally packed!

It's not unusual for weekends,
but even my weekdays.. :S
But packed is good.
Packed means that I am not wasting my life away. Lol

Just to sidetrack abit,
I've always seen life as a meter.
And it never recharges.

To put it more gamer-wise,
it's like being induced with poison,
and every step deducts some hp.

Something like that, lol.

ANYWAY.

How have you guys been?

I'm not asking you for the sake of asking you, you know.
You are always free to comment or email me. Lol
[Note: Not an invitation to treat towards spammers/stalkers]
[You can't pin me down with that in a court!!]

Just yesterday,
I went for an interview as a kitchen help at this Christian cafe.
It's really cool,
and I get to have a chef uniform,
tough boots and go for training courses!

It'll be soo cool if I get to work there.
Even at $6/hour. :D
[Not the confirmed pay/job, so no confidentiality breach!]
[Ha! You got nothin' on me, babyyy~♫]

Next,
*brace yourselves for the excuse*

You see..
The reason why I've been holding
this post off for so long is because..

I haven't actually eaten my どら焼き, Dorayaki yet. @__@
It's a little strange,
cause I've been giving it out.
But yeah, I've not actually tasted it yet.

To cut the story short,
∴ Not tasted = No pictures

And I promised it in this post as a make-up for the previous one. @__@

BUT! Guess what~♫
That's right.

I have a make-up for the make-up!

You see,
yesterday..
My mum decided to drag me down to this sale,
and we carted off a whole load of Japanese tableware.

I now have my own personal bowl + spoon. *smug*
[It's like I'm nine again!]

And today, my mum has decided that,
she wanted to christen the tableware.





This is the result.
And that is mine. An awesome green tea colour.
[Yes, we bought the tea set too.]
[Again, yes, we splurged spent quite a bit.]

I know it's not exciting,
but I love my crockery. :)
[Apparently, I am just 'being a girl'. Agree?]

Moving on,


the つけ麺 [Tsukemen] that I promised!
Hoho.. Doesn't it look good?

Tsukemen is actually cold noodles with hot broth.
In the broth, there is pork belly,
[but I used bacon]
mushrooms and stew.
It was actually really good. o__o

And yes, as you can see,
I coupled it with sake.
[Click sake for the wiki if you don't know what it is.]

Also, I don't know if you guys have eaten one before.
But at Japanese restaurants,
their eggs are different.

Like, the eggwhite is solid,
but the yolk is half solid, half liquid.
Which means that when you slice it,
the yolk won't spill, yet it's not all..
Bleh-ish like hard boiled eggyolks.
[In hindsight, this looks like a tongue twister.]
[Maybe it's just cause I'm tired. :]

Get it? :D

And this is the reason for the picture below.

My accidental genius. :)
[I actually didn't know how to boil an egg,]
[and somehow it just came out like that. .__.]

[No, seriously.]

So here is the website where I get all my Japanese recipes from.
cookingwithdog [Click it, you know you want to.] is actually,
a Youtube channel and their recipes are worth a shot. :D

Moving on,
my dad's birthday was last Thursday, 22nd September.
We got him a beautiful cake from Canelè.


And it was pretty good.

However.. What I would like to point out is..


Did you see what I see?
Let's zoom in.


What on earth is Truffle doing?

I have no idea.
Because I only realised this,
after looking back at all the photos.

My dog was always right at the top left corner..
Doing.. Something mysterious. .___.


Anyway,
there's more stuff about food,
but I'll just leave those for the next post.
[Promise that it'll be shorter!!]

Right,
and something happy.

I've GRADUATED from my course!! :D

Just got my results last week,
and I did pretty well!

I am soo estastic,
because this means that I can focus on other things in the year to come! :D

And of course,
thank YOU, JESUS!
I could not have done it without Your help!!


Whew.
It has been a long day and post,
but the coming week holds more stuff.

∴ I'll see you when I see you!








All glory goes to You,
and none to me. :)
