In other words, we're no different from Americans!!Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Random thought: If an outsider were to formulate an impression of Singaporeans based solely on the posts in this thread, he/she would inevitably reach the conclusion that most of us
a. Are perpetually hungry and have to eat all the time, and
b. Spend an inordinate amount of time watching television.

Young and fresh in Toronto, I struggled two years to adjust. I wasn't used to big country, big land. So much commute. And then the reality of DIY. No maids, no parents, no extended family. Everything on my own. I guess you can say I was spoilt. Not having to do chores and the convenience that tiny S'pore presents.
Cooking was another challenge. I know close to nuts. Nothing I cook taste edible. There were occasions that it lead to "fights". One wintery night, I walked off. When young son asked "where are you going, mummy?" I replied "going to die". Yes, I was THAT upset. I guess I could have swept the food/dishes to the floor but I'm not that violent.
But alone in this cold country, I have no where to go. Eventually, I had no choice but to return home, still sad and angry. I felt grieve because my efforts were not appreciated. But I had to laugh when my son saw me and said "Eh, mummy, I thought you went to die. How come you didn't die yet?"
Yes, many trials and tribulations, ups and downs. But through it all, we both stand strong at the end of the day. Now, we have the best time of our lives together!!! And I sincerely thank God and cannot thank Him enough for everyday. I am blessed.
Oh man, why did I reveal so much? Now, how on earth did you manage to trigger that from me? -
I have that cookbook too!Originally posted by breytonhartge:drool .... drool... my favourite food.

seems that people say that the cookbooks are all wrong.. everyone MUST modify the recipe to make it palatable..
and some, modify it so much that the initial recipe is totally different from the one the prepared.. -
Hey, I'm glad that you shared with us. Makes me feel a little bit closer to you.Originally posted by littlestream:Oh, behind every success..........there is/are failures!!!

I didn't know you faced those difficulties. Knowing it makes you seem more 'human'. -
okay.. the maniac just jumped on and grabbed a 20 foot python
now they're going to operate on the snake to remove something they implanted in the snake
i love documentaries -
Dunno... maybe God did and not me... anyway, will keep you in prayers! I do understand how you feel though, no maid, no extended family to help... I remember when I was learning how to cook, my flatmates were very tolerant. But now I do enjoy cooking. I find it very relaxing for some reason.Originally posted by littlestream:Oh, behind every success..........there is/are failures!!!
