TWO months of S-L-A-C-K-I-N-G...

HEY!
It is a little more than two months since the end of my As and the start of my STUDY break! And...I am still jobless while most of my friends are either working or having spent their time CONSTRUCTIVELY! Well, I have been lazing about mostly at home but I did try to exercise the mental and physical capacities I have been endowed with. Mainly those exercises include blogging (in proper sentences), reading the newspaper (trying to understand the commentaries...there IS SERIOUSLY an URGENT need to CURB global warming) and COOKING!

YAYNESS! I have been cooking for my family and most of my "creations" turned out OKAY. Save for a few: a soggy mee goreng (my 1st attempt at frying noodles), a 'tough-to-bite' sambal ikan bilis and an oily vegetable soup. haha! Anyway, cooking is FUN! I have been trying to make soups and stir-fry/s but have not touched recipes that include cream, santan or is curry-based. Maybe, I shall try to cook fish curry. Oh, I managed to cook chicken feet! YAY! It turned out fine (though a little too pedas and wrinkly-looking). *WARNING: Chicken feet causing an explosive reaction when being fried in hot oil. My FIRST attempt to fry chicken feet resulted in an OILY kitchen.*

Anyway, staying at home is not too bad. I get to HONE my cooking skills and I get to ENHANCE my family ties. I need to leave now. I have to goreng 'Pakoras' for dinner. CHEERS!

A HAIRY INSPIRATION

hello. I had my hair cut yesterday. Well, it's short and I look like a female Shaowei. That's not good by the way. I had asked the hairdresser to cut my hair according to a style that I saw in a hair styling magazine. The style was done on a Japanese model and it made her look delicate and innocent. The "produced" style on me turned out to be rather boyish. Not only that, I can 'shake' my hair like a ROCK STAR. Oh Well! I hope to outgrow this hair cut soon. The next haircut that I'll be doing MUST be DIFFERENT and NICE.

AND...
the haircut incident yesterday was not altogether a bad incident. Firstly, the hairdresser that attended to me was REALLY meticulous. She even gave me a HAIR WASH. (unfortunately though, she was not able to replicate the style I wanted properly) Secondly, she blow-dried my hair and did some finishing snips to make the style more COMPLETE. Thirdly, she set my new hair-style with a hair spray. In short, I was INSPIRED by her passionate approach towards her job. It makes me reflect that I should be as DEDICATED and ENTHUSIASTIC in undertaking my future career.

ANYWAY,
I am still ROTTING at home. I tried to apply for relief teaching at several schools. There's no reply yet so far. Oh, I also made a FRIENDSTER account. HAHA! I'm of legal age and thus legally created an account with Friendster. I need to EXERCISE. Hmm...maybe I shall jog...ONE FINE DAY...
