The smart cookie!

I am so smart that i can't believe it myself!
I think there is a genius gene in me after all.
Contrary to what people always see, i am smart.
Just a tiny bit lazy. lol!

Okay, here's the story.
Jme called me this afternoon and told me her laptop can't start-up.
She went to the IT department and they can't do anything about it.
Her friends tried to help but still the same result.
So she looked for me and see if i can help to fix it.

At first we thought it was a virus attack but found out its her windows that crashed. (Glad that im using Mac now! *phew*)
So we tried various ways but still nothing.
She wanted to recover it back to previous state instead of reformatting it.
Reformat will be our last resort.

Then after a few hours of trying, we did it!!!
Managed to restore it back with all the files intact!
OMG! I am a genius!! *shy*
I seriously am, ok.
What?! Did you just doubt what i said?
I really did fixed her laptop.
I did!
By myself!

Ermmm..Okay..
Maybe with a little help. siul
Just a tiny bit.
Maybe more than tiny.
More than more than tiny?

Okok. Fine.
I searched for it in Google and found a solution to it.
There.
Happy now? :siga:

But at least im smart enough to look into Google for it!
Felt like i'd achieved something like mission impossible. *exaggeration to the max* -_-
Long live Google! lol!

Anyhoo, i cooked lotus root soup yesterday.
And it was DELICIOUS!
Taste just like my mum's.
I am seriously good in cooking! *bangga*

Healthy Cookie

I just got back from SWIMMING!!
Yes. Swimming!
S-W-I-M-M-I-N-G.
Berenang. You yong. Yao Shui. Siu Chui.
Its my first time exercising in UK.
You guys know how i never exercise, right?!
I am just too lazy to do it.
So are you guys proud of me??
Praise me praise me. :puppyeyes:

But i can foresee that my arms and legs will be a few tonnes heavier tomorrow. -_-
My arms were already really tired today after carrying the 12KG PARCEL yesterday.
Plus today's swimming. *sigh*

Its been a long time since i last swim like this.
Or should i say its the first time? fikir
Like really swim.
Not swim for 5 minutes and rest for 20. siul

Anyway, i finally got the parcel from my mum.
Wondering what makes it 12kg?
Nah.



Instant noodles, 2kg Milo, canned food, peanut butter biscuits (my fav!) and more instant noodles.
How many instant noodles??
Here.



I think my mum secretly wants me to open a store and sell it. haha..
But i have my Har Mee now. Yay!!

The other thing that i got this week is........
jeng jeng jeng jeng!!



A lomography camera!
People nowadays are really into those old skool camera and photography so i cannot lose to them. *kiasu* LOL!
I bought it 'cos i think the pictures taken from this are really nice!!
And its not expensive.
Its the same price as my instax mini instant camera.

I'll try to take some pictures with it soon.
But will have to get the film first. :)
Excited!!

The ever-changing weather



Just when i thought it will be abit warmer now. T__T
The roads outside my flat are covered with a thin layer of snow now.

****

I get to eat bak gua (dried pork) this cny! yayyyy!!
I was just telling my mum how i was craving for it 2 weeks ago and now i have it!!
No no. It wasn't from my mum.
It was actually from a classmate of mine.
Her boyfriend's family sent some for them and she gave me some. peace



And its from Bee Cheng Hiang!
I never knew they have BCH in China.
Now i can eat bak gua while youtube-ing.

Oh ya, my mum said that she wanna send me some cny cookies after she got back from my grandma's house.
I have a feeling that she'd forgotten about it already so i'll give her a call tomorrow to remind her.
What a fillial daughter. lol!

Craving!!

The one question that i ask myself everyday without fail is,
"What should i cook for tonight's dinner?"

I dreaded for dinner to come 'cos it just mean that i have to think of what i wanted to cook.
I cook my own dinner most of the time to save *cough*money*cough*, of course.
And i am so sick and tired that i always cook the same dish 'cos i don't know what else to cook.
Ok, fine.
I don't know how to cook.
No, i should say i don't have the initiative to learn.

My mum always, ALWAYS asked me to learn cooking from her so i layaned her but never remember. *coughcoughcoughcough*
And when u live in a city where there are like, food everywhere, u just don't feel like cooking by yourself.
So after coming here, i have no choice but to do it. *sigh*

I was craving for some mee hoon kueh (flour cake soup/flat wheat dough in soup wtf. i didn't translate this myself, its from google. *innocent*)
I tried to remember how my mum cooked it and searched for the recipe online as well.

Had some problems when i was kneading the dough but managed to solve it with the help of a flatmate.
Pour in too much water into the dough.
Mistakes on first attempt are always forgivable.
siul

And here is my dinner!!
TADAA!!!!!



Looks good, right? lapar
It taste good as well!! Well, not as delicious as my mum's but STILL GOOD.
Macam cooked by some chef. HAHAHAHA
Luckily, i still have some ikan bilis left 'cos it won't be complete without it.

I'll definitely try to cook some other dish next time.
Maybe i'll be Chef Wen in no time!!
Maybe, just maybe. *wink*
