Sawatdee Kaa

I went to close a deal today. Yep, I made another sale in my Yahoo! Auction. My make-up box which I bought last year but didn't use at all. Not too bad lah, earned a pretty good sum. Cover much more than the cost price.
Heh heh!
Anyway, the buyer came with her mum who tried to bargain with me for a lower price. Haha... Of course I will say cannot lah. She tried her luck of lowering at least 3 times but I stood firm and wasn't willing to abate. But since its relatively cheaper than the retail price, she still paid whatever that was agreed on.

Xl accompanied me there cause we are having a reunion dinner at my place and we're gonna cook. Hj and Yl are also coming over but they're not cookin'. I had to go Bugis to try my luck to return a top which gave off this damn smelly smell like melted plastic. Haven't even wore it, can't stand the smell to even go near it, what more wear it for a day? Not my fault leh... I followed the washing instructions. Now I just hope they will be willing to change it. But gotta wait till mid feb before they will get back to me. Darn darn darn. That means I gotta start looking for a back up top to wear for my portfolio and maybe practical exam.

Thought of cooking western for a chinese reunion dinner. East meets West?? Haha... Xl was so against the idea of cooking pasta. Said it was boring. So wanted to do salad, grill fish and don't know what. Then went to Cold's Storage and she spotted those packet seasoning. We decided to go Thai. Every dish must be Thai. I insisted on having mango salad (cause that's Thai) but couldn't find any mango in CS. Bought the ingredients and headed back to my place.

Stopped by the market to buy fish and I insisted on buying lime juice (goes well with Thai food), but the closest we found at the nearest convenient store was orange and mango juice. Ok lah. Make do lor...

We're gonna have, Tom Yum Soup, Fried Pineapple Rice and some Thai Chicken. Xl's in charge of the soup, I'm in charge of the rice and chicken.
Lots of funny blunders. My runaway chicken, her overbloated crabstick, the debate over whether to add chicken stock or water to the soup.

7pm, Yl came along with 2 pieces of durian crepe to appease us for having to cook everything while she took leave and stayed home doing her stuff. Only 2 pieces for the 4 of us lor. I said her reason was to make up for not coming to help us. But she claims that we may not be able to finish. Hiak hiak...

7.30pm was Hj's estimated time of arrival. But she only came at 8pm! We are all so famished that we just ate the food. I only managed to take a few sucky pictures. Too hungry already so can't really be bothered.

The nua nua pineapple rice.


The Thai grilled chicken

Notice I couldn't even be bothered to put it an empty part of the plate? I just chucked the yellowish chicken against yellow coloured rice. I was hungry lah!
Blame it on Hj... Muahahahaa!!!

Ohh I didn't take the tom yum soup's picture. Cause my bowl had a lot of soup. By the time I sipped it till the ingredients can be seen, I've cleanly forgotten to take its picture already. *Whoops... Sorry Xl, forgot to take your hardwork.*

Here are my guest for the evening.


Wonder if anyone will have stomach upset. Bro was kinda worried on what crap we'll cook so he didn't want to eat until daddy said he wanted to eat. But doubt will have tummyache lah. My standard of hygiene for preparing food is set relatively high.
