Stocks, Notts and more

This post is so named because this post is going to be about Dee and Wei who visited me from Nottingham and Stockholm respectively. I was really really really really happy to see them...so Dee and Wei..thanks for spicing up my life for those 2 days, literally! Dee- with your sweetness and Wei- erm with your acidic comments! haha.

Dee and Wei. Somehow i don't know why, when i saw this picture above right, it looked as though Wei was holding onto some weapon on Dee's shoulder...which in turn made me think of the picture below...

HAHA! OK i'm so sure that Wei is so going to like..flame my blog and like start some verbal war with me, which i will ultimately lose because she is a lawyer and she is very good at tricking and confusing people...ok...erm...i think this last paragraph just made things worse...
So anyway Dee only stayed for 1 night so i was alone with Wei for another day...oh my goodness oh my goodness...haha seriously we abuse each other verbally like nobody's business and shout at each other (even when we are not quarrelling..so you can imagine how loud we are when we are). Tough love ok...trained up from St Nicks hockey days.
But really, it was nice albeit nostalgic when Dee and I recalled RJ hockey days and when Wei and I recalled SN hockey days...hmmm....haiyayayaya. It was really funny because 3 of us got really excited talking in the living room..and after a while, Bingkai and Mac just suddenly said that now they knew why I was like that...because my friends are the same! Haha.
Ok so this is an MSN conversation that took place between Bingkai (Brown words) and Wei (Black words); ok Bingkai thought he was talking to me until somebody came and took over my side of the laptop...haha


Ok look i don't starve my room mates ok, i was just feeling lazy and Wei deduced that i was trying to starve all of them...heh but when i was looking through my MSN history, i found this (below)..which doesnt help to vindicate Wei's claim in any way:

The first line and the grey small words are from Bingkai; the bigger black words are from me.


... ...

So finally i start cooking and due to some miscommunication, i ended up destroying Wei's vegetable recipe (or so she says) because i preboiled her vegetables when she wanted to slow cook them. And i finally got the chance to make use of Carol's chicken rendang prima premix! It turned out more like curry though but anyway both dishes were super yummy!

When i was grocery shopping with wei, it was really funny. I took one packet of chicken parts (6 huge parts) and she kept saying it wasn't enough for 4 people...so she bought another packet of chicken parts! You see, in stockholm she gets to eat really good food everyday- she told me that she and her friends each eat 1 cup of rice each time and they always have a lot of food! Apparently theres this girl, Crystal, who can cook really good, elaborate stuff.

OK i have to admit that her vegetables look much nicer than mine...


And the yummy rendang-turned-curry! haha..ok it doesnt look THAT nice because of the photo quality and the ladle right in the middle but yea it was really thick and nice!

You have ABSOLUTELY NO idea how much pain weiling and i both went through to whip up these 2 dishes i tell you. The kitchen was like world war II or something. I think the guys were quite scared of the commotion and decided to like stay far far away. To give you a hint of the gravity of the situation then, I shall just tell you that like 1/10 of my plastic chopboard melted away, and Weiling and i BOTH got burnt cos of splattering hot oil! HAHA.
