Boxing Day: A Day for Boxes

I have no idea what Boxing Day is until yesterday when someone said it was the equivalent of America's Black Friday. Nice. And over here, all we got is the Great Singapore Sale.

Getting ready to go to R's party in a bit but before that, gotta share what I've been up to since November.



Finally passed my practical test. All I gotta say is, the traffic policeman was a SAINT. I wish all my friends would get him for their future PTs so everyone can drive! Think of all the amazing road trips omg. But for now, I'm working on my father to get me a car. Which makes me sound like a spoiled brat, I know. However, please bear in mind that my dad's car is a manual. While I do have a manual license, I find driving J's and N's cars (autos) MUCH more enjoyable. Someone said this,

"Driving an automatic makes me feel like a superstar, driving a stick makes me feel like a truck driver."

Couldn't agree more.

I am now, a breakfast kinda girl. 1 year ago, if someone suggests a breakfast meeting I'd just mentally beat the crap out of them. But things have changed and I'm now loving every single minute of the AM! More importantly, some of you might know this already, BUT I LOVE YA KUN. You can see my post about it 4 months ago (don't worry, it's just 2 posts below this) and my feelings towards Kaya Peanut Toast and Teh Peng Siew Dai (sp?) have not changed. If I ever become famous, I'll shamelessly approach Ah Kun's children and asked them to sponsor me toast every morning (because $4.20 every morning will hurt my wallet realistically speaking).

I've tried LJS breakfast for the first time with A and N and it's okay I guess. Maybe because I was counting calories so I opted for something barely there which is toast bread and butter over their delicious-looking turkey bacon toasts. Counting calories is a tough job, man.

I've been trying to be a domestic goddess by cooking for the family more often. Nothing fancy, just pasta, pasta and more pasta. And I don't even make my own pasta LOL. But I'm gonna venture into Malay dishes in 2012! I gotta familiarise myself with lengkuas, serai and sambal belacan. Indian cooking will forever be done by my mum so I'm not gonna learn that till I'm marrying an Indian man (LOL AT THE THOUGHT OF ME MARRYING A MAN).

Baked a cake for Baby S's first birthday! Theme was COLOURS and I did what I could. Her mummy said it was nice but I honestly think she was just being polite because looking back, I accidentally halved the amount of flour required so I don't even know how THAT tastes like. I hope the guests are still alive.

Going to India Round II this Thursday. We won't be sticking to New Dehli like we always do. The plan is to get in a car as soon as the plane lands at I.G Airport for FIFTEEN hours to Manali (not Manila, that is a different city which can be found in Singapore). Then to Punjab where we're gonna be fat arses stuffing ourselves with Punjabi food (loads of Ghee, BRING IT ON) and then a one-day trip to Agra to see my wedding venue (LOL AGAIN AT THE MENTION OF MY MARRIAGE), the Taj Mahal, and then N.Delhi to visit my family.

Meanwhile, I need to iron my party outfit okbye.
