Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

i. am. very. very. hungry. o________0 Saturday: Morning was spent preparing my cousin's wedding, then church, then off to the wedding dinner at fullerton! nothing less u expect from a doctor -..- . the sheer extravagance of it. Cocktail was served at the rooftop garden, very classy, very elegant.  Didnt manage to take any photos of the dinner itself but it was great. lol. Sunday: Tuition @jiamin's then madrush down to Simei for dear Joleen's 21st Bday! :D  New addition to our family! Weida, hope i didnt get it wrong! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! * applaus* He is the ...... mysterious boyfren of Wenting! :D i need to dig out more info.  wenting, wensi, esther  the 8 of us.  Me, Andrew, Si. Nice new hair dood, very korean ! :D  Daniel Loke- new image, very funky! Dear Jo, You are still one of the worst multitaskers i know, but yer one of the best friends i have. Have a great birthday and may everything that come yer way bring you joy and happiness everyday. :) Sincerely, Lurong. Special Edition : Chinese Weddin-food edition! When it comes to the marriage of a Chinese, no doubt are there many traditions to follow- even food wise! :D Firstly, the Tang yuans ( glutinous rice balls): They generally symbolise a blissful and wholesome marriage. Handmade from glutinous rice flour, warm water and a little red coloring, these bola-bolas are made with such effort that each one has to be round and crackless i.e. they must be PERFECT (perfectly made by me that is. haha. ) Cooking it is easy, just drop the bolas into fer a boil and when they float to the surface, they're done! Cool in tap water to remove extra starch so they dont stick together, or puff up easily.   Next up! Preparing the sweet soup. The soup base for this tangyuans are used fer many purposes in a marriage- as the soup base for the tangyuans, as the tea for the tea ceremony and as the soup base for the meesua that the bride/groom have to consume. It is made with manymany err...things (there are 6 of them) , e.g. the little lotus thingys( that the couple will always be commited to each other), red dates, dried golden mandarin oranges, ah...i dont noe what the rest of them are called. i tink rock sugar is one of em, hehheh. it must be sweet- that's the criteria!  Sweeet soup. Sweet. After this, the soup is filtered into a tea pot for the tea ceremony, while some of it is left for the tangyuan and meesua.  Traditional tea pot set Last but not least; we have the Meesua coming up! the meesua is eaten by the couple to signify a long-lasting and blissful marriage; it does not have to be fully finished by the couple, but they must make sure they do the following : pull the strands of the meesua really high, and break the yoke of the hard boiled eggs. This is how it's prepared: Prepare boiled eggs - the trick to perfect looking boiled eggs is in adding salt to the eggs while they're boiling in the water! This way, the egg shells do not stick to the egg at all. Then place it in a small pot containing some of the soup base for the tang yuan. Cook some meesua in hot water, and serve it together. Simple as that!  Pretty eggs  Finished product, consumed by the couple. Well these are the traditional foods are are served for the bride/groom in a wedding. In the event whereby the parties involved are wealthy, there are even suckling pigs! my cousin is a doctor, so it explains that pig resting below :  superpig.  the truth revealed. Eeyer , i felt cheated that underneath the red cape, there's no meat! just a pail and some important traditional stuff. boohoo.  serving the meat. yea, that's all for this special edition! hope u had fun readin this! :D Thursday - Fish Anne Co. Ate lunch with Gwenni! It was fun!!!!! :D good food+ good company = BAGUS! :D Gwen's a really nice lady from my workplace; i like her alot :D Bw picked me up after work - to eat a very nice sliced fish beehoon soup in chinatown! it's a must try! WOHO! Doesn't it look good?  Now you see it  Now you dont see the inside of it.  A very satisfied man. While the eyes of bw were fixed on the old granny making the food, i was trying to convince him that the secret to this good stuff is not "ancient secrets" as he says it is, nor does the cool looking pot make a great difference , it's prolly good hours of boiling fish soup from fish bones :D HEHHEH. guys know nuts. There;s this roof top garden on the overhead bridge from chinatown mrt to pearl's centre which has really nice scenery at night :D onward to chinatown to get some stuff! :D   Bought a 3-buck 1000pcs precious moments jigsaw puzzle which says : "i believe in miracles", and a frame that costs 9.80. How can it be??? haha i hope it doesnt piece out "i believe it barnacles" when it's done. lol . :D nvm, i believe in miracles. :D That's chinatown fer you! :D Tuesday - iBrow Biru finds it amusin that a person who is not scared of injections, extraction of teeth, braces, general pain, and etc. cries when she approaches the beauty parlor. WHY? cos... eyebrow plucking very pain! :( ouch. ouch. ouch. ouch. ouch. feel my pain as each strand of eyebrow gets plucked ercilessly from my skin. AHHHH the horror of it. i am so sure next time if there's a war i'll recommend plucking eyebrows (apart from plucking nails which they have already done) as a punishment. i'll surrender if you do that to me. Wednesday Thai express for dinner ; it's so sad that almost all the staff in the j8 branch are gone. :( bought shoes. oh my, it's expensive :( bw why did u have to buy shoes in the first place? T_T see see!  Tell me it's worth my bucks. im gonna get that fer school.HEH HEH. (last Saturday) Steamboat again!
