Hi everyone! This is my first official post on this blog! Today I tried cooking tomato ditalini soup with some help from my mom. Below are several pic of the ingredients and the resulting dish!

This is chopped onion and celery...I must admit tt I did make a bit of mess chopping the onion, since it's my 1st time after...hmm...5 years?!
Bertolli Classico olive oil! This was chosen after some consideration and research online...price wise i find it reasonable enough.
I have to admit, the colour of the soup wasn't really appetizing when it was on the stove to boil...
And here's the result w/o chopped fresh flat leaf parsley! We used heinz chicken broth, and the resulting taste reminded me of...canned soup T.T anyway it was gd, but i suppose in the future we shld make the broth ourselves!


Coincidentally, my sis bought some instant mix of brownies tdy, adding tt she wanted to make them since forever. However, in the morning,today, b4 she left 4 sch, she asked mom if I was cooking tdy. Isn't it rather odd that the 2 shld clash tgt? Becos if she had wanted to ck them a long time ago, she wld hav bought them a while back, n not tdy. Competitive? Hmm...u decide!


She baked them tdy...the brown gooey mess reminded me of melted valrhona choc! Tasted pretty nice, but I only had a lil cos i'm currently nursing a pesky sorethroat :(

1st ninjado lesson today! The moment I entered the class, I was partially relieved and disappointed...as who would have known that the outfit was white and not black! Thankfully a no. of ppl were about my age, and not a classroomful of kids. Warm-ups were a killer since I hadn't had a proper exercise since JC...my kicks were crappy, I must admit. Nvm! I gotta practise more! I was also given a form to officially join the group, which i gotta fill in w/in the next 2 wks! Gosh. I didnt bring a towel tdy, and was the only 1 wif shoes T.T but I do have my reasons. Perhaps I shld get some new slippers! A group of them gathered 4 dinner, which I didnt join since I alrdy ate. Gah. Hopefully things will go better next wk!



Aww you're so cute!!



Each morning I awake,
my best friend beside me,
his eyes are wide with love,
and my heart soars again.

As I go through my day,
expectations on me,
my friend is always near,
to soothe my troubled mind.

When nighttime descends on us,
and the world is through with me,
at last I can meditate,
and give loving thanks for him.

My friend is very special,
a truly amazing soul,
he's very soft and gentle,
for he's my cat, after all!
