New place, new life, new beginning.

I've just moved into a new apartment two days ago and that was the craziest day I've had all year. Moving during the day and work during the night. And it had to be one of the busiest nights ever. By the time my shift ended, I was exhausted. I couldn't even move a single muscle and I ended up just sitting on the couch for hours, chatting away with my manager and colleagues. And when I got home, the whole place was a mess...coz I didn't have time to unpack my stuff. And guess what...I managed to fix up my table when I came back from work...and that was near to 3am in the morning. Man...I wonder where I got all the energy from.

Oh...did I mention who I moved in with? I moved into Bryant Wong's place. Great place...I love it, although the room is slightly smaller than my previous room. Finally, no more carpet. Have you got any idea how much I hate carpeted floors? It's very unhygienic and it's a chore keeping it clean.

My bedroom as you approach from the door. And no...I don't make up my bed. I find it a waste of time and energy. Say...it takes you 30 seconds to make up your bed, this means you're wasting 30 secs a day, 3.5 minutes a week, 3 hours a year, and 30 hours a decade, just in making up your bed. Don't know bout you, but that is sure as hell a lot of time wasted in my opinion

That's my workstation. One Dell Desktop, one Dell laptop and a pair of kick-ass state of the art Altec Lansing speakers, not to forget the subwoofer under the table. And my beautiful slippers that I just bought off a discount store for 2 bucks. Guess it doesn't fit in the background.

A blurry reflection of my bedroom.

That's the living room. I love the couch...it's not mine though. Bryant bought it when he first moved in last year.

And yes, that's a plasma TV. Compliments of Bryant Wong.

That's the kitchen. A little small for my liking, but it's workable. But it could've come with a couple more cupboards...and a gas stove, instead of electrical. Not complaining though...just suggesting.


I could really get used to this new home. It's so much cozier than the previous one. Now I understand why some people prefer less spacious homes...coz it's really so much cozier. I could get used to my new housemate too...as in Bryant. Now, I get to cook a lot of food, without having to worry 'bout leftovers. He'll manage to finish it no matter what. Plus, I get to experiment my new recipes on him...my guinea pig. Haha. Bottom line, I'm so much happier and comfortable now.

This is just a little something that I cooked today. It's Penne Pasta with chicken, baby rocket and tomato paste, garnished with grated parmesan cheese. It's not the first time that I've made this dish...but it is the first time since I aspired to be a chef that I've made this dish. I could see the difference between this and my previous attempt...and honestly, it's done so much more professional this time. Before that, I don't add any garnish to my dish, and the portion was always more than I could take. Now, it looks so much more proportionate and well presented. I think I'm on the right track here. I cooked for Bryant as well and I'm glad he liked it. I just hope he doesn't get food poisoning...haha! That would be such a blow to my self-confidence in cooking.

From now on, I'll be taking pictures of the dishes I've cooked and post it on this blog. This way I can share my passion for cooking with all of you guys out there. I really hope that one day, every single one of you out there will be able to taste the food that I invent and cook. And I wish to make it happen when I establish my own restaurant in the future. It's a dream....an achievable one I might add, as compared to the rockstar dream. LoLz!

I guess it's time to stop again. Til next time my dear friends. Adios!
