Apologies for not blogging for soooooooo long…….
Recently, Blogspot has been barred thus I was not able to blog anything at all. Actually, I cant even find time to blog nowadays. However, I had a little free time today and I decided to update my Mr Blogspot.
Another colleague departed from that particular position. She is the fourth person whom has quit from it. Well, guess who is next? Me! Me! Me! … A real exciting road lies ahead. This will be a test to my own capabilities. I can just hope and pray that I will be able to last.
Recently, I was caught in a career dilemma. In fact the new position offered to me is even better than what I expected. (not in monetary wise I mean). In terms of ascending on my learning curve. I am being offered to smtg similar to running an own business. It was something that I have not considered before but seems like a challenging role. I want to learn how to run a business (as a whole) because there are plans which I wanted to go into. (Ideas provided by Jamie). She asked me y don’t I use a skill which I am good at and sell it as a business. Starting small is okay. It kinda got me thinking on this route which sounds really workable. Oh well, first I need to think about the offer first before anything else.
Did 2 new things this weekend. My virgin 10km run ever! There was a trial run for the Real Run. So its known as the fake run. Lol Omg! I cant believe I survive the 10km. Cinz Dearie is correct. Start small and then slowly build up. I started off with one mile orchard run. Followed by Army Half and Shape Run. (6km and 5km respectively). Now, Dear signed up 10km New Balance Run for us. It was tough but shiok feeling after that. Dear was tempted to sign up for Standchart too, but it is pretty ex so we gave up the idea.
Training with a goal is so much different. I find myself enduring further distances and stronger mentally. Not only you need to train physically but you have to be fit mentally too because it is indeed mind bloggin under those circumstances.
Learnt a new recipe over the weekend. I made pizza including the dough. My master was no other than Patrick’s wife as we exchanged cooking tips for my tiramisu and her pizza dough. A fact that I learnt through her. Recipes from the internet usually would miss out one or two ingredients, not giving you the best recipe that one can get. What I usually do for first time recipes, I would print out two or more methods of cooking and analyse it and then come up with something you create. Just like my tiramisu, I had to trial and error at least four times before getting the taste I wanted. Anyway, the pizza dough was really really nice lor. Soft and good to taste. Plus you get to choose your own pizza toppings! Lets see what were my ingredients :- Prawns, Chicken Viennese, Capsicum, Danish Salami, Button Mushrooms. Never had such a combination before but it turn out pretty ok. My ROL was so sweet, he was my co-chef. Doing all the small small errands around the house, getting my plates, washing the dishes (his duty, he proclaimed! Kiss kiss) and of cuz most importantly, my personal taster.
I made an extra portion for him to bring to camp as breakfast. He got teased by his course mates saying its “Ai Xin Zao Can”. Most importantly, its something I made with my heart to you, my love.
