SBS shall NEVER take over the GrayHound Bus in the US though... that's like, an American institution! It's as American as the darkened and hardened chewing gum patches on their city streets!

Hee hee...........reminds me of cooking!!
Can spend the whole afternoon preparing and then eat in 10 minutes.
Yeap, it's been a longgg while. The weekend, then you were sick and then my turn but today's frame of mind also gong gong leh. Don't know if it's the change in weather. Barometer pressure changes and my head also go. I missed you too. 
You know I've always enjoyed your posts and humour. 
I may not be good company today because "tau" still "tiah", so will take it easy a bit, hor. But I saw other owls signing in already so I'll just play audience for a while.
Now, jiak yok (take medicine). -

Good morning MG:Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Hello, Littlestream!
Hope you're feeling better too! It seems there's a lot of people getting sick these past few days. When it rains, it pours.
My allergies are in overdrive right now, but I'm taking some medication to help with that. I never had allergies until I came here...
Anyway, back to work for me! I'll check back in here later.

Wah, your allergies started early ley. It's not ragweed is it? Anyways, take care. Hope to catch up later then. -
Oh yeah! Cooking's the other major disproportionate investment-to-yield ratio activity!Originally posted by littlestream:

I remember how preparing a meal for my friends during the weekend was like such a big deal! I'd spend Mondays to Fridays pouring through my cookbooks, and would even read the easy-to-carry-along ones on the MRT and company bus to read on my way to work. My colleagues used to tease me, 'Hey, what's cooking this weekend? Can 'chia' us or not?'
I will then decide what to cook, and then compile a list of what ingredients I need to buy. Then, come Saturday, I would wake up super duper early in the morning, like 5:45am, and take a good long stretch by the kitchen window, then after getting prepared, will walk down to the wet market nearby. I would usually be there by 6:15am and get the freshest fishes and vegetables!
Sometimes, my planned meal goes through improvisations because there's this super fresh fish or seafood I just HAVE to buy and cook! It is such a joy to go down to the wet market early and grab all the freshest buys!
Then, I would lug the basket full of fresh ingredients back home and slowly started doing the prep work as I got the laundry done.
Cooking for others, especially those near and dear to you, is such a pleasure!

Originally posted by Rhonda:Cooking for others, especially those near and dear to you, is such a pleasure! .........sounds like me. The build up to the night of the home dinner/party is actually quite stressful for me 'cos I am such a perfectionist where this is concern. I think you are like that too?
And whoever you ARE cooking for, wow, lucky chap! -
Aiyoh, aiyoh......Rhonda.......you ARE killing me. Laughing makes my head ache even more. How come?Originally posted by Rhonda:Confucius said, 'If patients no come to missy, missy go out and create patients!' -

I agree.Originally posted by StarPuppy:Confucius was a sick guy -
Yeah! I think we're quite alike in that sense, although I've never cooked for a large group before. Usually, it's just an intimate gathering of one to three friends only.Originally posted by littlestream: .........sounds like me. The build up to the night of the home dinner/party is actually quite stressful for me 'cos I am such a perfectionist where this is concern. I think you are like that too?
And whoever you ARE cooking for, wow, lucky chap! Like that, if somehow, there are 'culinary disasters', at least, not too many will have to be 'forced' to eat the 'disasters'!
Do you think that my special someone is going to be a lucky chap? Well, I think I'm the luckier one, if he eats and doesn't make some awful face! I've learnt that with most local men, if you cook badly, they will criticise loudly but when you cook well, they'll just eat quietly and finish the food.
I've learnt to interpret no leftovers as a sign that the cooking was good. I've long since given up fishing for compliments... the most I get are those scrawny seaweed-of-a-comment like 'It's OK, lah' / 'Tastes quite alright' / 'Don't think I'll die after eating it'!
pthpthpth!!!

2) You seem to know me so well already, my dear littlestream!
Yeah, I will pamper my sweetheart ... BUT, I have to be careful who I choose because there are men who will take you for granted and start to act dao1. pthpthpth!!!
And then, there are those jian4 types who will only find it challenging and fulfililng if they have to keep chasing after a girl, so the more a girl is never quite truly theirs, the more they'll chase after her like some hounddog.
Riiiight, boys??
