Why did the kiss turn Tiana into a frog?!
Couldn't the kiss turn the frog back into the prince like in 'The Frog Prince'?
Disney had to complicate things.. like love isn't complicated enough?

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the movie.. I loved it.
But to think about it... it's us, human beings, who complicate things.
Even a simple fairy tale had to be given a modern twist to it, and all that added complications.

The princess and the frog, the prince and the princess, the frog and the frog, the frog princess, the pauper and the frog?
Are you confused?

Why can't the game of love be as simple as Snakes & Ladders?!

- 270g uncooked rice
- Water to cook rice
- 5 garlic cloves
- 200g broccoli, neatly chopped 
- 200g chicken fillet, cubed
- 15g butter
- a few tablespoons Campbell soup
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt & Pepper
- Parsley (garnishing)

Serves 4-5


Directions

1. Wash and rinse rice until water runs clear.
2. In a heated saucepan, melt the butter. Add the broccoli and chicken pieces, saute for a few minutes until the surface of the chicken pieces is white.
3. Add the washed rice, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
4. Wait for the rice mixture to cool, then transfer to a rice cooker. Add the garlic cloves. Add water to cook rice (slightly more than 1 1/2 cups of water - adjust the water amount according to your cooker).
5. When the rice is cooked, portion out the rice into individual oven-safe baking dishes (or use a 20cm x 20 cm square alumnium tray) until about half the height of the dish.
6. Smear the Cambell soup on top of the rice, and topped with a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. (as much as you want)
7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the cheese has melted and is very slightly browned. Garnish with parsley.

I received a very unexpected long-distance phone call a couple of days ago from a friend. The last time we communicated was approximately 4 years ago, and I can't even remember how we parted. It was probably unpleasant because the last thing that I remember was me writing a long email about how disappointed I felt and never receiving a reply.

So when I answered the call, you could just imagine how surprised I was. But strangely, I didn't feel any anger/bitterness at all when I heard that voice over the phone. I had expected to feel all those years of pent-up anger rushing out of me but it didn't. Cognitively, I remember all those negative emotions. I definitely didn't forget them. But I didn't feel them anymore. It was as if my mind and heart were dissociated from each other.

"I guess I owe you an explanation".

I'd waited so long to hear those words but strangely, when they finally came, I didn't care for them anymore. I guess I'd resolved the hurt and anger a long time ago. But it was only after that night that I truly felt a sense of closure.


More than 4 years have passed and here we are right now. When we said goodbye that night, all I felt was peace. So thank you, simply for calling.

no one wants to be friends with you anymore. go away!

Today JJ got enlisted into Tekong. He will be staying in there for his BMTC for 4 months.
Yes! It's 4 months, not 3. I have to suffer 1 extra month of not being able to be with him because he was unwilling to go retake his napfa. Though he is kinda big in size, i believe he will not fail his napfa. Probably get a silver or bronze. Wadeva it is, he doesn't have to go in now and miss my 21st birthday! He cud have enlist in april!
ARGH!!!! I am missing the idea of him now. hahaha....
Like someone who is there for me to talk to and complaint and rant about when i just wana talk.
And he have to listen to me because he doesn't have a choice.
And he meets me most of the time.

A working Saturday which didn't quite turn out the way I'd expected it to be (in a positive sense). The minute I stepped into the office, I was greeted with an immaculately neat workspace. My table was all spick and span, coat folded into a perfect square, stethoscope and file placed strategically in one corner and to top it all off, breakfast awaited. Seriously, my therapy assistant is beyond fabulous. And just when I thought that things couldn't get any better, the fun nurses and doctors were on duty today so I had quite a good chat with a couple of them. Before I knew it, I was done for the day :)

Managed to squeeze in some cookie-baking as well, which surprisingly, turned out to be rather therapeutic. A newly discovered outlet for stress relief perhaps? Earl grey, lemon sugar and lime were the flavours of the day. It helps that the finished product agreed with my taste buds although the tray of crackly little blobs wasn't exactly the most aesthetically-pleasing sight to behold. But hey, that can always be fixed with some fancy packaging :p

Looking forward to next week. Pay day, Christmas dinner with the colleagues and a dear friend arriving in approximately 8 days, postcard in the mailbox likely before that. There's even 3 days of annual leave as a pre-Christmas treat. What's not to love about December?

Back to my book now. I hope this new one doesn't disappoint. Oh and if you haven't already read Flowers of Algernon, please grab a copy. It's the best book ever and I can't believe I only discovered it recently.

I guess I really gotta trust that God knows our limits best and when you've reached the ultimate low-point of your life, the only way ahead is up. One step at a time, grace.
