Been sleeping really late these days D: Which is really bad! I miss those days when I used to make sure that I was tucked in bed by 10.30pm! And now 10.30pm seems like when my personal 'nightlife' starts...on youtube and watchseries, that is. Hell's Kitchen and The F Word and Gossip Girl and Glee and How I Met Your Mother and America's Next Top Model and of course, The Vampire Diaries!!! Can't wait for White Collar to come back on! I am considering watching The Tyra Bank Show too! I know I should stop all that watching.... I could actually be doing more fruitful stuff like cleaning the house, ironing clothes, cooking and baking!! But well, I need some kind of entertainment right?? At least I did change my bedsheets and ironed all the clothes today! Just like I do every weekend because I'm a really good girl :D Next housework goal is to help vacuum and mop the floor at least twice a week! I shall attempt to cook some salmon-potato cakes! And bake one more pandan cake, maybe tomorrow. And when I return from Hong Kong, I shall bake some pineapple tarts from scratch on my own and make Popo proud! :D Shall bake more cookies and cupcakes too!! I think I'm a very...boring baker. I only enjoy baking things I like/are easy/look nice/are traditional recipes passed down from Popo. I mean I'd love to try new things, but they look really hard because I've never really seen or eaten stuff like souffles before so I wouldn't know if I get it right. And I usually have Popo around to guide me through her recipes but if I try new ones...no one would be here to help me! Which is kind of intimidating. I shall overcome that barrier soon and don't worry 403, your ramekins will not go to waste! I will attempt to make souffles at least once by the end of this year! (I hope!) My dream, well a short-term one that is housewife-y related at least, is to be able to whip up a proper dinner with a few courses for my family and friends. Like from appetizers to main courses to lots and lots of awesome desserts place on classy restaurant standard dishes at a beautifully decorated dining table with nice lighting like candles and nice music playing in the background. Not to mention some wine to drink too. That would be awesome. But till then, I'll have to continue working hard in the kitchen! I wish I could put all things like university applications and going out with friends (not that I don't want to!) to make this work. Phbt. I should lock myself up at home for a week someday with a stash of cash to buy all the ingredients I need, perfect my recipes, and serve! Just wait people!! It WILL happen someday!!!
Oh and since we are on such a topic, I hate it when guys tell girls to 'go make them a sandwich'. I mean, what on earth is that supposed to mean?! It's so degrading! It is AN HONOUR to be able to whip up awesome dishes in the kitchen, even if it were a sandwich. To be able to cook and bake is great because it is a fact that the way to a guy's heart is through his stomach, so guys stop degrading women like that if you want them to continue making nice dinners for you! People who can't even cook the simplest meals are to be ashamed of themselves! It's sad to think that so few kids these days are interested in things going on in the kitchen and simply make their maids, even their moms, get food for them all the time even though they have their own limbs to start learning to put some raw ingredients together to satisfy their hunger! Tsk tsk. I am definitely going to teach my kids to cook the moment they are tall enough to reach the kitchen counter! No excuses for them!
