I was an unpaid chef on Good Friday, at Wang Dae Bak, BBQ-ing the meat for the carnivores. Having Redbull feeding me a few mouths of the luncheon meat stew and 1-2 pieces of meat, I sat there concentrating on the task of being an unpaid chef. On a tight budget and with a filled stomach, I had to curb on my weekends spending. Nonetheless, I didn't choose to wallow in self-pity and instead I was happily cooking the meat for them. 


Had 2 bowls of the soup and this big bowl of heaven is worth every cent of $35. The portion is definitely sufficient for sharing. It turned out to be more than enough for the 5 of them, 6 if you ask me, with Redbull having the appetite for 2. 

Wanted to do an 'oscar selfie' but ended up with Redbull approaching someone to take this shot for us. 
Afterwards, guess what? My fav place for waffles! CREAMIER. This time round, I chose orange with (another fruit) mixed with vodka ice-cream. My preference for alcoholic ice-cream has never failed me once. No thanks for the usual classic flavors like choc or vanilla or strawberry. Again, the waffles I'm addicted to~

Burning off calories session the next morning with these kakis. 
April Fools was the day when I fooled my family with my brilliant cooking skills. Alright, I didn't fool them, I really did whip up a korean meal for my siz's sweet 16th. Not self-proclaiming I did a fantastic job, but I do think I deserve a pat on my back, at least no one spitted out anything or suffered from a stomachache. That alone should be regarded as an achievement for a first-timer who learnt the ropes from online recipes, right?

Seafood tofu stew which is my favorite dish personally. 

Japchae: sweet potato glass noodles with mixed vegs. I fell in love with this dish when I had it at Bornga. 

The crunchiness was there. The marination was also there. But it tasted a little on the bitter side (when it's not supposed to) because I accidentally poured too much honey which turned bitter in excess. This would definitely taste better if I had remembered to buy corn syrup instead of replacing it with honey. 

All in all, the dinner was considered a success. I learnt what not to do, what to do. 

To my beauty
Swensens ice-cream cake, just what she wants. 




Yes, it's Lavigne's 'birthday' too. She joined our family on my siz's birthday, so it's naturally her birthday too. 

Look at the hands holding Lavigne, in case she pounced onto the cake. 




Peanut-butter cookie and strawberry. 

We've watched each other grown over the years and I want nothing but the best for you. Be healthy and genuinely happy (AND confident), beloved beauty.
