Warning! Explicit Photos ahead!

I am gona give you fair warning beforehand. This post contains EXPLICIT pictures!!! Those weak of stomach are thus forewarned and have to decide for themselves if they are gona take the risk and continue scrolling down. Hahaha. Anyway, this first collage depicts the first part of the night where we went for dinner at Nando's to celebrate Brian's 19th bday (that young bugger)





Hold on! We're in the UK! You didn't think that was all did you?! Headed to Canal Street after dinner. Yes, the infamous gay bar street in Manchester City. This is where the night turned to the deepest sense of debauchery in the alcoholic realm. Here's Brian sipping on his first Lamborghini after downing a tequila shot with me and another 3 whiskeys with the others. If you noticed, there's still a Malibu, 2 pints of Budweiser and another pint of Guiness Stout with Blackcurrant waiting for him :P





"Brian!!! Take us home tonight!!!"


Elina and Aaron



Posing with his 2nd Lambo



Tracy thinks: "You better down tht tequila I bought you as well! Even if it's the 4th!"


Shu Mei just being entertained by all that's going on, sipping on her Bacardi Coke


YET another flaming Lambo. You can just about see the blue flames.


Kevin : "Hehe, now's my turn to contribute to you getting drunk!"


CHIONG AH~~!!!


Me and Brian, after downing yet another unknown disgusting shot



Elina n Tracy. Gals must have been taking snap shots as they were bored as the we guys busied ourselves with the serious business of having a helluva time with Brian. At his expense of course. ^_^

Help me take loads and loads of pictures and videos and then show them to me okay? Onegaishimasu!!!!! ;)

Painting the town Red and White

Here are the pics I mentioned in the previous post. From 2 diff cameras and thus a slight difference in quality. The pictures speak for themselves don't they :) A fun night out relaxing at a pub.

7 Degree Celsius

Yupz, that's what the digital display reads. It's single digit now. Autumn. Imagine what it'll be like in winter. Wonderful. Ahahaha. Was actually quite comfortable just wearing my favourite G2000 jacket while walking about Manc City with my mates tonight. A major factor would be the lack of any winds throughout the night.

It's 4am, only just got home after a mundane afternoon and somewhat boring evening. There were laughs, drinks and the usual good natured teasing of course. Also treated ourselves (myself, don't know about the rest) to a meal in Chinatown. No cooking for the day. Played pool after dinner before we decided to head to a club to round out the day's activities. Must say though, clubbing scene here is much better than in Singapore.

However, something is still lacking.... I wish I knew what. Too tired at the moment. Shall post pics from a few of our clubbing/pubbing escapades soon.

Speed is of the essence...

In a very good mood today. Mainly because dinner was very satisfactory and done in a very short amount of time. Started cooking at 6pm and we were done eating and washing up by 7:30pm. Loads of difference compared to the pasta that took us 2 hours just to cook alone the first time.

Menu and recipe for tonight's dinner:

1.Onion Omelette

- 5 eggs
- half an onion
- 3 teaspoons of milk

Self-explanatory dish here. Whip the eggs and milk together till creamy and with minimal froth. Add salt to taste and pan fry after adding onions to the eggs.


2.Leeks with carrots

- 2 leeks
- 2 carrots
- garlic
- shallots
- mushrooms

After slicing leeks, leave them in salted warm water to kill any possible pesticides, etc.. When it's time to cook, warm oil in wok (I only have a pot, so make do eh?) and fry garlic, shallots and mushrooms till fragrant. （炮香）Leeks go in next and lastly carrots. Be mindful not to cook the leeks too long as they're nicer if they still have a little crunch to the bite. A dash of soy sauce before serving and you're done.

3. Spicy Beef in creamy black bean sauce

- 2 slices of beef
- black pepper
- black bean sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- half an onion
- garlic
- shallots

Dice the beef slabs into bite-sized cubes and marinate them with the remaining ingredients. You don't have to add all of the raw onions, about half of it will do. Massage the marinate into the beef and stick it in the fridge to stand for a few hours. As usual, garlic and shallots go in first into the warm pot. When ready, add in the left-over onions and allow it to camarelise into a nice brownish colour. Add and cook beef till outside of the cubes turn a nice dark grey. DO NOT throw away the marinate!!! Add water and cream (or full creamed milk as I did) to the marinate and pour into pot. That will be the sauce. Allow the beef to stew but turn down the heat so that it doesn't boil. Once the liquid reduces to a gravy of a consistency you prefer, (it should be great gravy to go with rice/potatoes so a little more of it wouldn't hurt ;P) add loads of pepper to level of spiciness preferred and it's ready to be served.
WARNING: Leave the pepper only to the very last or it'll burn and make everything very bitter tasting, thus wasting all your effort.

*** It struck me while eating that this dish would be very well complemented with either radish (白萝卜) or Parsnips.

4. Steamed rice with mushrooms and chinese sausage

- 2 cups of rice
- mushrooms
- chinese sausage
- minced garlic

Simplest of the lot. Usual washing of rice, appropriate level of water, throw in sliced mushrooms, sausage and minced garlic. Add a DASH of soy sauce. Close rice cook and press "cook" button. You'll swoon in the heavenly smell as it cooks. :)

I'm going off to relax, chat with friends and pat my tummy now. Cheerios~

Self-Study

Yupz, that is what I've decided will have to be done for the module Fluid Mechanics. I was pinning all hopes on the tutorial lessons initially, but it's just as hopeless. Both are from China and can't speak English well. No one in the tutorial group understood a single thing today. We left with more doubts than to begin with. Now, question 3 of my tutorial sheet is staring back at me with the same blank look I have on my face. Bye bye 47 pounds that I will have to spend getting a textbook. Darn it. That's 141 sing dollars mind you. Sigh......

On the verge of falling ill too. Can feel it. Might be the root of my frequent nightmares...


anway, WX, here's the link http://www.planearium2.de/flash/sp-studio.swf

Basketball and DOTA times...

Gosh, I miss hanging out with you guys. How's everything in Singapore? Anyway, here's something to us. Salute~! As always, ML stands in the middle. Wonder why we always do that when taking photos eh... Hehe. Take care bros, see you guys soon in a few months.


P.S. I took the liberty of doing ML's pic for him as I haven't seen him online. RB and I did our avatars by ourselves.

How I wish I could make/eat/savour these

If only I were at home!!! Would definitely try to make the potato fritters mentioned in above link!

Had to do my first tutorials this week. My brain is really really really rusty. Gona have to work real hard to scrub all tht grub away.

Cooking on a regular basis now... but I still miss eating at home. :(

whoa.... okay, had to register with the local GP (doctor) today and when I had my height and weight read out to me, realised that I've lost 3kg over these 2 weeks.

This is so wrong... haven't had the chance to exercise since I arrived and been drinking too much alcohol to boot. Well, Agnes and Pat, you have your figures liaoz.

we cooked dinner as a group tonight and I personally felt it was better than the previous meal. Maybe it's because of the company and the fact that I didn't have to eat alone.

Will update in details on the meal on a later date. For the moment be satisfied knowing that I'm near drunk on a friday evening and that if this happens every week I'm getting permanent liver damage. :P

(wait for an update when I'm sober)


update: 25/09/05 2132hrs.......................................

cooked the following for the meal I mentioned above.

1. spinach tortenilli in tomato and mushroom sauce. (real sauce this time! had tomatoes and mushrooms that I diced myself in it)

2. Stir fried bean sprouts with tomato and bacon (wanted to finish the fresh tomatoes)

3. Omelette with tomato chunks (yes, again, to finish everything) and diced ham (had 2 slices left in the fridge)

that's all of it. Was definintely more worth it cooking as a group. I feel like roasting chicken sometime this week. Have to go grocery shopping tomolo I think.

SELF cooked meal.

I cooked dinner today! yeah! First non-outside food in 10 days! Had the following:

1.spaghetti with turkey and mushroom in fake bolognose sauce (what, it was cheap!)

2.mushroom omelet (what, leftover mushrooms! I love mushrooms anyway :P)

3.a oven grilled chicken thigh


notice how I say SELF cooked instead of home cooked. Taste nothing like home cooked. Didn't have the necessary seasonings/ingredients. Worse, didn't have any vegetables other than mushrooms. Urk...



now... if only I had someone to eat with or share with.

Birth Day

My 22nd BDAY!!! Yet another year older, but what the heck, I'm already called Uncle Sam anyway, what's another year under my belt. Pfft. Hahaha. Was another wonderful nite spent with my buddies RB and ML along with good friends like Fifi, Wan Xin and Wen Long (ML's bro). Had dinner at a perenakan restaurant in Joo Chiat. Cafe Von Beta or something. Quite Good! Would definitely go back again when I'm back in Singapore. First up, the gifts from RB - 2 book on Fit For Life. My brother doing the good thing and guiding me towards a healthier lifestyle.
