Sorry for neglecting you for the past week.. pls believe me if i told you that you were frequently on my mind.. as many things had happened in the week..however, miss poor-time-management here just have too much backlog in her work to clear.. :(
let me fill you in on the highlights of my week...starting with.... yummy yummy food!! :)
made low-mai-fan and tang yuan with my housemate last friday! :) its my first time in 25 years making tang yuan.. had originally intended to make sesame-filled tang yuans but housemate cudnt find sesame in the asian grocery store..so had to settle with plain ones.. its really simple to make!! (not sure about fillings though..according to housemate's mum aka mama chef guru, its quite difficult to make smooth sesame paste without a commercial blender.. mm..) no more buying of tang yuans for me! will make for family every year from now on.. cant post our photos online yet cos still with housemate.. :)
then housemate made chicken rice for us on weds to cheer us up cos we look so stressed..so sweet!! :) chicken rice was absolutely delicious and fragrant!! im not a big fan of chicken rice to be honest.. but that day, i actually finished my whole plate of rice.. and its not because of courtesy loh...hee..its unbelievably yummy!.. full of chicken essense and tinge of pandan flavour.. and the best thing is it didnt have the oilyness that we often find in our normal hawker fare.. :) and the chicken is so juicy too!.. makes my mouth water just thinking about it now..
mouth watering authentic chicken rice (and homemade chilli!)
its funny how there are always so many things in my head that i wanna write in my blog.. but when i actually get down to writing, the thoughts just strangely disappear from my subconsciousness.. mm..sign of old age.
im now left with 2 more teaching weeks.. then exams wud be just around the corner.. things are starting to wind up in class, but instead of feeling a relief.. stress levels are rising by the second.. cos all of a sudden, everyday is not just a date anymore but a deadline for something. assignments, pract exam, clinic exam, proposal, presentation, portfolio.. everyday i wake up feeling like ive been run over by a truck.. and puffy eyes from the lack of sleep, sugar overload, carbo overload (i realise i crave carbo when im stressed ).. guess what i discovered today? that my eye bags bounce when i jump...im not kidding..
but despite all these.. i know its all worth it when i graduate at the end of the year..(or should i say..IF i graduate at the end of the year.. ) i love this course.. and i definitely love what im learning here.. :)
im only worried that they might not think that im good enough.. or i do not know enough and fail my written papers.. :(
its an awful feeling when u are only as good as wat others think you are..
