Little Cozy Corner

Today is Mummy’s birthday and she’s been busy since morning! I called her about 2 hours after I woke up [as we are 2 hours behind Malaysia time] and the house phone was busy for at least 1/2 hour!! Such a superstar Mum I’ve got. I dont blame her though, she’s a lovable woman although many [mostly Sis's & my friends are afraid of her] but she always called herself a ’sweet old lady’ which she no doubt is, might I add. :love: So Mummy, I know that I’m not there to celebrate this most blessed day but rest assured that I am indeed there with you in spirit and wishing that I was in Kulim with you so that I can have that baconless and hamless pizza Aunty Jayne is taking you to tonight. I hope you enjoy your pizza coz I know you miss it as do I. I love you. Mummmy!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY…..*muaks*

Now, remembering Mum’s birthday reminded me that I forgot to blog about one of the MOST important days of my life here in Sydney!!! I finally cooked for my baby….:grin: I OFFICIALLY cook a proper meal/dinner for 2 consisting of rice [What else you expect an Asian girl to cook in an ang moh country??], pork cooked in dark soy sauce with ginger+onions [Oooo....it was a miracle I tells you!] and pakchoy in oyster sauce and garlic. I know that it sounds like your TYPICAL chinese food and what nots but hell, to me….it was the most wonderful dish ever!! Not that Ted can’t cook - he can cook I tells ya! That man can cook…!!! BUT that first mouthful was so gastronomically orgasmic what I had to muffled it coz my mouth was full!! [Did that even make any sense at all???] It was just so satisfying….so full-filling, I can’t wait to cook rice again! Next on my list is nasi lemak and rendang. I got the coconut milk ready….just need to get the meat coz I got the rendang spices in a packet, all bought and set to go. I know nothing beats the real thing…as in getting it fresh from the market from the old lady who sells spices in a push cart but hey, you gotta work with what you have you know? Can you believe that I couldn’t find those small red onions you get in abundance in Malaysia, here?? I had to make do with the big onions which I think THEY think are the small onions - I just dont get it. *shrugs off the insanity* The red onions here are HUGE that they are twice the size of our big onions back home!!! SCARY LAR!!!

Anyway, I wish I could cook with the kuali I have back home. It’s different and difficult to cook with an electric one where you have to use plastic spatulas to cook with [stainless steel mar...plus $$ lor]. It’s VERY different and just feels so alien lar. I MISS MY KUALI!!! O well, I’m off to prepare some stuff for these temporary jobs I’ve been eyeing…wish me luck people!! I just need enough $$ to buy me a new digicam….get them so much cheaper back home plus, I can haggle and get more goodies and THAT’S the whole idea, innit? Ta-ta!

O O O O, before I forget….CONGRATULATION TO FRANK & AIDA!!! :dancing: :party: Finally, you got your baby….when is #2 coming? [Got this piece of news from an aunt who read my blog.]
