The 24th Birthday

It was 9pm and I was at Simei, at Spidy House preparing food. We were rushing and doing last minute shopping. It was funny as Nanda keep track of my financial. Soon after bought the grocery and went back home to prepare the marination for the Chicken Wing, Mushroom, Smoked Duck and of cause minor stuff such as baked potato and corn.

Thanks to Max and Lufi Chalet, I have got most of the grocery stuff such as plastic cup and plate, Charcoal, Tong. But there is still need to buy BBQ utensil such as Tong, Aluminum Tray etc.

The Marination Process
We boil the Chicken & Mushroom. Knowing we are not professional in BBQ, the wing are often burn in the outside and not cook in the inside. Therefore boiling the chicken will help to 1/2 cook in the outside and inside and reduce fat too. Also applying sweet source on it and massage it. Air-tight the plastic bag once done and leave it cool.

A simplicity of marination can exchange for a reasonable taste such as applying sweet source on Dry Mushroom. Color must turn to Dark Brown during boiling process, also a better way to kill pesticide. Leave it cool in running cold tap water will make the mushroom tender. Massage in sweet source and air tight in plastic bag. And leave it cool.

The Cost Factor
A 2kg Chicken Wing could cost up to 16pcs and worth $9 in the Supermarket. Normally in pack form an froze it. But a wet market, $0.50 per Chicken Wing, reasonable size plus fresh. You do the math, yup 18 pcs. Lower cost but fresh. But a dry mushroom is worth to buy at the supermarket, $7 plus and you have about 50 to 60 pcs per pack form.

Smoke duck could purchase at Woodland Food Industrial such as Wholesale Market. Buy directly in the factory, fresh and cut the middle men seller therefore lower cost but yet taste great in freshness. A 6 pkt of smoked duck (could cater about 40 people) simply cost $15. Great bargain.

This is what I learn so far and possible might give you great idea on how to save cost but yet extensive quantity and quality value.

The Midnight Meet Up

We manage to finish everything by 12.30am. Yes, Pass by midnight. But since the night is young, we decide to meet up with Kyle which after all we are not far away from him. Thanks to him we get to know him better plus an amazing tour around Simei. Now we know where the market and the """Main Source""" :p

Execution The Party
The weather is playing with us. Either the weather is having period and it was a heavy duty. It seem it having mood swing. But never the less, we all share the small pavilion. My step Dad, bake a cake and I am happy he did it for me. I appreciate alot. But the cake is melting and I apologies those who did not get to try the cake. But it was a starter menu. After the rainy weather, is time to BBQ all the way to the evening and I am glad we have a gathering. Remember begin yourself there is the greatest gift that I could ever asked for.

Those who give me gift, thank you so much. Some gift just simply make me smile and some give me LOL. But love it. I Love you guy and appreciate to:

My ITE

My Besties

My Coffee Session Buddies

Almost Gone

Im having a tough week. By far the worst week of my life.. again. I feel like crying but I cant. Im so frustrated most of the times. God knows how much I want to bang my head on the wall. Im emotionally unstable. I feel like there's so much going in my head. I want it to be over so bad. I wake up everyday looking forward to nothing. Im alive but Im barely breathing. Im hanging on the tread loose now. I feel like if someone provoke me, Im gonna snap ya know. I spend most of my teenager years being depressed and suicidal, never thought that once I enter my adult years I would still feel like that. God, this is sooo fucking depressing. I just wanna go away and never come back.

Im halfway broken

Just a little gone

Almost to the brink

Almost fully drawn

Im just a little sad

Only slightly torn

I wish sometimes

That I was never born

I almost feel insane

Im not always lonely

There's few people who feels like me

Im not the only one

I was just about to make it

So close, but I fell short

It was almost meant to be

My second to last resort

Im midway through the battle

Im near the end of going away

Im almost completely certain

That I will never be okay

P/S: Jason, dont tagged me in FB.

I try to keep it update as what happening in my state of my life. Recently, the last weekend was kind of the mood of the eastern Asia cultural. It was a Lunar Festival as the Chinese celebrate a full moon in moon-cake festival and lantern. We went to Haw Par Villa and it was sometime I visited there. Before the entrance, Nanda would like to purchase a drink from the vending machine. Inserting a coin, but nothing came out. I tease him, that is the entrance fees to visit this tourist attraction. It was free admission but they tried to maintain the place as best as possible.

We head toward Vivo City to have an early dinner at The Chicken Rice Shop. It was a decent and best value meal as I did not expect that they give me lot of chicken breast meat. We head bus to Chinese Garden to participate the Lantern Festival. Where full of decor and children ride just simply remind me the past. It cost $12 and I just simply love the firework. Indeed the distance is far but it was worth it. Here afew sneek preview picture:

Of cause, after all this event, Mr Har, Miss Jess, Mr Wilsen and I went to have a nice decent drinks at Chijmes. And we kept on bargain that can we eat mooncake. But I hate the devil Card in the Tarot Card Reading.

What Your Vote?

If you could vote for anything in the world, what would it be?

Thanks to Miss Fiona for meeting up and accompany me to the Eurasian Association for the reunion. There alot of wonderful people and I did not expect Miss Fiona even met up with all of her old friend. But in Generation Y or The Cyber Generation, I have no idea where all my Eurasian friend went. Or maybe they have not hear this type of association. One thing I like about this group is they casual but yet informal and interesting topic they chatted. They youth, pardon me, I have accidental eavesdrop on their conservation, it kind like very formal with high vocabulary begin used. Also topic and interest about, is books. But would like to thanks the Eurasian Association for organizing and keep up this reunion. This is the second reunion meeting held at Singapore Recreation Club.

We are there to support Ezekiel to one of the competition he is in. He tried his best and it was indeed a nice friendly match. Yes, even he did not win, be it judge or vote but the valueable he gain is experience and knowledge in this competition. Well next year, Mr Wilsen wanted to join and I will be there to support him.

It was nice that, Wilsen, Har, Suffian, Henry, Eva, Irene, Jess, and Wabul to particapate the last day at Maxwell Food Center to drink our favorite set, Baron & Red Bull mixture. It was a pleasant and a nice reunion. We hit the club to support Ezekiel, again we open bottle. But of cause we might paid the price, hangover.

From now onward I am gonna put lot of inspiration animation in each post to increase amount of a new tag, 'The Animation Inspiration'
