Weiming: Today is a really memorable for me do you know that bloggy?

Bloggy: Haha. Why?

Weiming: Because today is my first time cooking scramble egg and lamb chop!

Bloggy: Oh my god! That's so cool can.

20th February 2007 at about 10pm plus, Weiming was abandoned by his Mum. His Mum didn't bother about him anymore and couldn't care less. His Mum went to play mahjong and left him all alone in his house. He was very sad. So at night, he decided to cook his own food.

Firstly, was the scramble egg. I heard from my best-est best friend, Vanessa Chng Xian Na, that she's great in cooking, so I 'qin3 jiao4' her how to cook that. She's a really very nice person and imparted her secret recipe to me.

1.) First beat an egg into a bowl
2.) Add 1 teaspoon of fresh milk or 2 (not a whole cup of it)
3.) Den you must stir well
4.) Den heat the wok
5.) Add in butter or marginarine (margarine), dunnoe how you spell it, nt oil
6.) Den you heat the oil le
7.) Pour in the mixture
8.) Must stir it at the time
9.) Till its cook kkz
10.) Cheese or mayno cannot, erm i dun think so cos it suppose to melt it
11.) Vegetable oil shuld be okie but i am nt sure if it will taste as nice
12.) Den you heat the oil le
13.) Pour in the mixture
14.) Must stir it at the time
15.) Till its cook kkz
16.) Soy sauce or pepper can be added later

It's really very easy and simple to make with only 16 long steps to follow.

My first try was quite a failure. The pot caught fire. I didn't even have the chance to fry the egg.

(Only professional chefs are able to create such impressive fires.)

Then became 'cao4 da4'. Got to wash and cook again.

Then my second try was better. 'Tian1 wu2 jue3 ren2 zhi1 lu4', 'tie3 bang4 ke2 yi3 mo2 cheng2 zhen4' 'ji1 dan4 ke2 yi3 zai4 zhu3'.

It's a new receipt because my house has ran out of fresh milk so I used multi-grain milk. Nevertheless, it still tasted nice. Yummy!


Next was the lamb chop. It was my first time as well. Luckily for Men's Health magazine that I managed to cook a high-class-professional-expert-healthy-yummy-delicious-terrific-fantastic-superb-nice lamb chop! It's not as easy as you all might think.

First you need to marinade okay. It's for the flavourings. I bet all of you don’t know that. Ha!

[ Acids - "Acids break down the muscle fibres and gives you a tender, moister piece of meat," says Tyler Florence, author of Tyler's Ultimate: Brilliant Simple Food to Make Any Time. Expand your horizons with different vinegars: wine, sherry, or apple cider. Citrus juice, wine and yoghurt also do the trick.

Role players These flavour builders add depth and character to a marinade. Oliver oil, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh ginger (now I know why Ah Ma's chicken wings taste so heavenly), chipotle peppers, soy sauce, and other give your meat and fish an identity.

ACCENTS Fresh or dried herbs impart subtle notes, while assertive spices like cayenne and curry powder can shape an entire flavor profile. But beware of salt in your marinades. "Early salting creates osmosis, which pulls important moisture from your food," says Florence. ] above from Men's Health's March 2007 Issue.

I don't know why, but there was a lot of smoke when I cooked. Then I needed to open all the windows and switch on all fans. Like caught fire like that.

(It's black pepper lamb chop.)

Although it looked a tiny-whiny-small-little-bit insightful, it tasted very very very X999 nice! The meat was tender and juicy and it just made you feel like you were flying, drifting and floating when you chewed (sorry Hui Jue) it. I forced my Mum to try my lamb chop Mum insisted on trying my delicious and yummy lamb chop. She said that it taste VERY nice. Of course, it tastes nice, my Mum. Thanks a lot, Mum. Sis didn't want to try. I really felt sad for her.

Seriously from the bottom of my kind and benevolent and healthy heart, I think that I can cook better than the hawker centre near my house. Hur!

I cooked noodles afterwards. I think that I've improved tremendously.

I cleaned the things and mopped the floor after everything was done. I feel arrogant now. Arrgh!

A super big gigantic enormous fly flew into my Sis' room just now. I wanted to kill it. However, after much investigation, I found out that it was actually just a small beetle. I trapped it using a container and dragged it all the way to the living room. Sis commented that I've become braver. I feel so proud! And and and before that I killed a cricket with my paper puncher. That was the second time I did that. It has become a vicious cycle.
