Stripped! Not Anymore~!

I have taken out that blue strip of pictures,.... I look ridiculously like some character from some alien nation. Anyway, here i am! Short hair and all! Looking rather sweetly at the camera. I have no idea why, perhaps I am some pseudo sweetie jap-chick wannabe,... think i watch too much tv or I still have my japan fever.
I wonder what it would be like if i told my mother that i wanted to move to japan and stay there for a year, studying japanese? I think she will FLIP and plus, not to mention, nag and scream and go ballistic. BUT, but,...... i miss the food and the culture there. It was so inviting and welcoming and comforting and FAB!!
If only i was a secret agent going on a cultural exchange mission! Excellent! All the SUSHI and CHARSIEW RAMEN i can EAT!!!! WOah!,.... I think i would have failed terribly as a spy,..... cannot run fast enough! Can eat and confuse others, but when it comes to escaping, might as well ask a hippo to do sit ups,......

Dorothy Lost her Ruby Slippers


Well, as much as the 'Wizard of Oz' goes, i bought a pair of golden slippers instead. No red or ruby! Gold slippers to satisfy that 'ghetto-chick' wannabe syndrome i seem to have from time to time. :D Disco anyone?! I wanna go dancing!!!!!

Hottie Totty! Strut! Hey SuperModel!



Besides me being totally lazy, i have decided that i am ready to go back into the 'farciscal' fat rat race. Besides being convinced by jealous friends who cannot sleep till 12 noon on a weekday, that i should get a job soon, i have realised that shopping during the middle of the afternoon is FAB! No one around, sales assistants jumping to get u the right size and hard selling aunties who press you to buy items that you do not need after having a rare 'epiphany' that you are actually 'loaded'. Tsktsk,... I have just spent enough money on 3 pairs of brand new shoes to take myself on a holiday! Introducing you to my latest "neck-breaking-can't-walk-for-long-must-sit-down-after-sometime" buy, my very first all new Marc Jacob heels.
Don't ask me how many hundreds i spent on it. I will not disclose the obscene dosh that i flashed to get this pair of babies! Yes, the word is OBSCENE. Disgusting! But i love it! :D I mean just look at that rich satin fuchsia!!! It's like a pair of 'f*ck me' heels!!
Okay, enough said!

BruBruBruschetta!!



Recipe for great bruschetta! Of all my experiments, I think this is the best mix so far. Not too tangy, sweet enough and a tiny citrusy twist! Not to mention that it smells great! It serves 4-6 people.

Ingredients:

250g cherry tomatoes (make sure that it's a little SWEET)
1/2 an onion (preferrably white)
2 cloves of garlic
2 hands full of parsley
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of olive oil
a bit of salt and sugar to taste (accordingly)
sliced up baguette (lightly buttered and toasted)

Directions:
Chop the cherry tomatoes into 1/4 pieces or 1/6 pieces depending on what you prefer. Dice the onions, garlic and parsley. Mix it all up together. Add the balsamic vinegar, salt and sugar. Finally throw in the olive oil, stir it well and leave it to marinate for at least 1/2 hr. Serve on lightly buttered and toasted baguette slices!
