Had a very busy weekend!
Went to Phuture for Pinky’s farewell, went for Andrew and Jayen’s wedding (lazy to put up pictures, but there are some with Tim)
Oh yesterday I met up with Suzie and Karen for an interview with NST. Suzie was planning to write a piece on fashion and she asked me and Karen (and Suet) for fashion advice and tips on saving money while still dressing well during the recession.
Ok I understand why she would pick Karen because she writes for Emmagem (and really well too) and naturally Suet is a pro at saving money and still dresses nice but why me!
I am not known for my fashion sense! If it’s an article on how to be funny and tell good jokes wtf (although the people I work with might beg to differ wtf) then no problemo senor but I really don’t blog about clothes and fashion as much as say Hui Wen and her sisters or Michelle Pong so I had a lot of trouble understanding what Suzie wanted from me wtf.
The only fashion advice I have is…. lots of push up bras WTF NO LA KIDDING
I dunno I don’t think I’m very fashion or money savvy. The only thing I save money on is I buy tops (way cheaper than dresses) and wear them as dresses because I can wtf.
But she said it would be fun! And that there would be a mini photoshoot so I thought okay why not Suzie just don’t blame me if your article goes to pieces (I really hope it doesn’t)
It was fun! Only problem is I never have any idea how to pose. Even in Moho, Angie, Suet, Mild and Shanshan would come up with all sorts of sexy, cool, cute poses to strike when we took pictures but my idea of posing is grinning like a tool and flashing the peace sign SIGH
Seriously I think out of the 3 stereotypically glamorous jobs of singer, actress and model I fear being a model the most.
This is not some inborn psychological trait because of my height ok I swear but I just think being a model is damn hard. Have to look sexy, cannot smile, cannot laugh, cannot eat WTF.
I kept giggling every time the photographer tried to get me to pose even I was annoyed at myself wtf.
Me and Karen.
Getting ready props.
Found some nicer normal pictures that Tim helped me take <3
Nicest picture ever! Unfortunately I don’t think I was posing, this was in between shots and I got bored and swung my bag to and fro *gives up on self
Although the photographer did shout at me “WOI AH MOI why when I’m not taking pics you so clever to turn here turn there and pose but when I tell you to strike a pose for me you stop and say ‘er do what ar?'” wtf T______T
Karen’s turn! *relieved
Hahaha she’s deciding which of her my clothes to throw away WTF.
Haha so cute but a bit blurry I think not enough light.
Last picture of us playing with clothes!
Shoot ended earlier than we expected so I wondered what to do for dinner.
And Tim came up with the ingenious idea of cooking wtf.
I hate the idea of anything domesticated — hate grocery shopping (freezers too cold, too many bratty kids running about), hate cooking (too much fire WTF), especially hate cleaning toilets (used to scream at Ooib because every time I plunged the brush into the toilet to scrub, it would come out covered in brown scum T____________T because Ooib always forgot to flush T______T)
But this time I decided it would be something relatively new to do and it could be fun!
First we sat down to figure out what we were going to make.
As you can see, I quickly got bored of that wtf.
HAHAHAHA
We finally decided on carbonara (20 minutes cooking time only wtf)
Then we went shopping for ingredients. No photos because freezers were too cold and we spent a long time in front of them trying to find single cream.
So! Step 1: chop up the streaky bacon and ham.
Step 2: break 3 eggs and mix with 3 tablespoons of cream.
Step 3: Pour olive oil into pan and cook bacon until golden brown.
Tim (in worried tone): “It’s not turning golden brown. What if it bypasses golden brown and heads straight for black!”
HAHAHA then I guess we just have to eat vegetarian food wtf.
Step 3a: Interrupt and take over the wooden spoon to make it look like you cooked too.
Step 4: Boil pasta.
(We learned that it is also possible to burn pasta — while still in the pot wtf)
Step 5: Drain pasta
Step 6: Add pasta to cooked meat.
Step 7: Pour in mixture of eggs and cream.
Step 8: Salt and pepper to taste, and serve!
It was very yummy! I was afraid it would be too rich and I would puke wtf cos I can’t take too rich or sweet food.
But it wasn’t at all (ok not like the typical carbonara you find in restaurants) I think because we didn’t add any milk and the black pepper helped too:))))))))
I can cook:)))))))))))))
(but Fat Her thinks from the way Tim tells stories that I didn’t do much *sad wtf)

Hmm. I use prosciutto instead of ham and shredded parmesan cheese as topping along with fresh cracked pepper.
Yum! A nice sangiovese goes with the meal too. Buon appetito!

If you want to make the traditional pasta carbonara, you don’t need to use cream or milk. Just mix parmesen cheese with eggs.
