How to cook a meal within 30mins for one person

Date: 24/02/2020 (Mon)

Moving on, I made something really yummy for brunch:
The night before I marinated the chicken.  Basic marinating is always salt lah, pepper lah and cornflour, then with a bit of wine and light soya sauce.  Steam for 20mins, add in chicken essence and steam for another 10mins, as good as effortless.  I have another slab of boneless chicken leg in the freezer so I'll be doing this again next week, droolz....................

I cooked rice with corn (too much corn) over the stove, too lazy to use rice cooker.

I finally took out the ladder and climbed.  Cleaned the fridge and TV cabinet's tops, that shield of dust can write on it.

Evening time, I mass edit my Xi'An photos.

I normally wakes up about 11am and this day, shock out of my life, I woke up at 1.30pm.  My gawd, all thanks to the black out curtain.  自然醒 is a bad thing for me, need to set alarm liao.  Sleeping too much is not a good thing.  My body was felt like jelly the entire day, was tempted to binge sleep sia. But serious, can't waste away time and life like this....

Brunch:
Pan fried chicken with onions, add in sugar, rice wine and dashi powder, then egg, water and beancurd.  It's boiled into a nice mild soup, dumped in udon, all done within 30mins.

Virus hell break loose in Korea and Italy.  Oman where my baby sis is working also kena a few cases.  Japan please don't get worst... please don't....

Couldn't get my scar balm at Polyclinic, I walked to Tamp One for lunch, passed by a few restaurants which I almost went in.  But in order save money, went to the foodcourt and had lousy chap chye peng.

Went Changi Hospital, my scar balm also no stock, waste my time and gotten myself half a shade darker in the hot afternoon.

Went supermarket to buy things to make my day out worth it.
The fish looked shocked at their own death while the stingy ray still in confusion lolxx..
Went back home, so much to groceries to pack.

Msg PapaVoo that we would like to go out for Mookata for dinner, 5mins later, he asked if we want to buy dinner.  Short memory like fish like that.  I wanted to pitch his cheeks and struggle him at the same time if I have 4 hands.
Not the best in taste but had great bonding time.

The weekend

Date: 21/02/2020 (Fri)



Co-19 Virus got worsen globally.  I am so worry about my trip, I'll be very upset if I am force to cancel it....

Brunch, I stir fried udon with the last bit of scallops from the freezer.
People always says it's difficult to cook for one or two person, to me it's really easy unless you are fussy like my hubby.  The above was done within 30mins, nothing difficult, just that I can be a little lazy with the washing which I dragged till mid or late noon lolxx..

Went for this at Tamp One for dinner.
I was already there at 6.30pm and there were only a few ppl at the queue.  Hubby reached around 7pm, less than 5pax in the queue but they didn't have much staff running the orders.  Wasn't too bad for about 15mins wait.

We paid around $13 for 2 mains, 2 wanton soup and 2 milk tea, laugh until teeth drop.
Seafood noodles.

Black pepper beef with rice.

PokemonGo CD, was deciding between Changi Village or Changi Airport, actually very 多余 cos I always prefers the airport.  I had very bad insomnia the night before, tossed like roti prata didn't sleep till pass 4pm and the pay back was really bad.
Gotten mystery box from PapaVoo's friend, already lagged behind many players.  I opened at the same time.

I wanted to eat, sleep and die all at the same time after the event ended.

Shake Shack and A&W queue again, we had late lunch at Itacho Sushi.

Chawanmushi was not like others here.

Yummy...

So yummy.

Went home and dropped dead for a little while.

Did nothing but binge watching drama.
Dinner was awesome with claypot fish, I over ate again.

I needed to clean up all the tops of the house, I can't imagine the dust accumulated over the months.  How the hell I managed to brave over those few hell months omg.... could still feel the after taste of bitterness recalling...

Brunch of the day.

Had repacked all the toiletries.  Had accumulated so much travel size nonsense, need to take them out one by one and use them before they turn foul.

Enjoying life at the moment...

Date: 16/02/2020 (Sun)


Darren installed a dancing game in Nintendo, we had lots of fun with it.

From Bernice, love it to the max, so long never eat already, their kueh is the best.

Watching this.  Love 迪丽热巴, she's so incredibly beautiful.
The English translation of the title is a bit stupid sia lolxx...  Anyway, the episode is loading so damn slowly, need to find another drama to entertain myself.

I am picking up my health slowly, life at home started to fall into a routine:

I stay in bed till around 12pm;
Cooked brunch/make fruit juice;
Put on a face mask and turned on the laptop;
3.30pm start to do housework till 6pm;
Shower, then either wait for PapaVoo to buy back dinner or goes out with him.
If dinner is ta bao, I still have time to blog.  If I go out, normally comes back close to 9pm, then I'll just nua on bed to watch drama till sleep.

I better enjoy this life while it last..... good times never last, I know.

Finally ate Shake Shack

Date: 13/02/2020 (Thurs)



The morning ray cut through the kitchen and living room.
9am hospital appointment was torturous.

I was running late, almost forgotten due to Corona Virus, things were more complicated.
Was asked to fill up a form declaring that I hadn't been to Wuhan or other parts of China for the pass 14 days.  However, no temperature was taken.

The swelling on the scar was actually due to the hardening of the scar beneath the skin which was normal.  As long as the god damn cyst did not reoccur, I am safe.  What a great relieve.  In a good mood, took a bus to Expo Station, from there to the airport.

Felt nice without the crowd.

The Vortex still look majestic no matter how many times I seen it.

NO QUEUE!!!  Finally!

Walked straight in like a boss.

The pandan milk shake was too thick, took lots of effort to suck, was better after adding in some water.  Brought half home.
The cheese fries was good, but I couldn't finish alone.  Burger was really nice, juicy mushroom, beefy beef.  Better than fast food but still not worth queuing a few hours for it.

Muji and Tokyo Hands were all mine, bo lang.  I was briefly looking around to know the market price.  I am really worried that Japan and Singapore will ban each other from visiting, I want to go see sakura T__T please...

So much had happened in Jan, I forgotten that I was half way with this drama 梦回.
So I was back at it now, all episodes were available.

I stayed at home as much as possible, not fear for Corona Virus, I feel safe in Singapore.  But cos hubby said I turned fairer without having to step out.
I cooked instant noodle with cabbage, scallops and added in 2pcs of dumplings.

I bought a lint roller from Daiso for the sofa but ended up using it on the bed.  The roller didn't work on the sofa so now I wipe it with anti-bacterial wipes which is fast and effective.

I used to sweep hair and dust off the bed with my hands only, now with the roller it's scary and satisfying at the same time.
This is picked up of my hubby's bed although I roll the bed daily.  I roll my bed twice a week only and it isn't even half as dirty.  My poor man is dropping so much hair and I shouldn't open the window that wide to invite so much dust.

Evening we brought Eileen along to pop up Chatchuchak Market at Grand Stand.  It's a pity Bernice's parents were worried about the virus and didn't allow her to come along.

Some eye catching stalls.

It's so crowded and weirdly sunny at 6pm.


Everybody started to miss Bangkok really really badly lolxx..

Nothing was cheap here, but still fascinating, prawn vermicelli caught my eyes. 
It was a deep slit of $18 with 3 prawns, took me a while to give it a try.  Ordered and took about 20mins to prepare.

Kick start with some sinful meat.

Happy PapaVoo and don't know looking at where Darren.
His smile forever melts my heart although he is still constantly annoying.



Sugar cane with orange peel $5, not cheap, but ok considering that it taste refreshing.

Banana pancake which was freaking oily.

Truffle Rossetti was crazy yummy!  Steep price but couldn't remember, maybe around $11.

Sibei sedap, PapaVoo, Eileen and I took one prawn each.
Finger licking good, TAKE MY MONEY!

Some sotong salad.

Did henna.  Eileen's planets/stars $15
My feather arrow, same price. Love the temporary tattoo soooooooo nice, heehee, HAPPY.

When the parcel is not mine...

Date: 11/02/2020 (Tues)



The postman knocked the door before I brushed my teeth.  Why people always come to my door when I just wake up de?  I looked horrible sia.  Anyway, address correct but no such person.
Contacted Sample Store and they asked me to put in the return mail box but this parcel cannot squeeze into the slot.  Already message them, no reply, so I gonna just wait.  Will self declare it's mine and open it up before I leave for Tokyo, maybe can find useful stuffs inside lolxx...

Washing up my son's uniform.
Half the time he does the ironing himself.  I tried to do it whenever I can cos I heart pain to see him so shag.

Had soup for lunch, yup no rice.

The roller gave way barely a year, the contractor came to replace the railings.
The kitchen is so lousy, cannot imagine what will happen in a few years' time.

Had been heading to bed earlier around 12am, will try to improve it to before mid night.  Life seems to be falling into a good track.  Long lost happiness seems to be coming back bit by bit.
