Days in Dubai... so glad i'm home!!

I'm finally home!!
But i'm down with flu... ;(
Making last night's plans for Mambo void cos i was feverish n aching like mad.
Had to go to my sinsei in Chinatown for emergency treatment when i woke up in the evening cos i couldn't turn my neck to the right or sleep right!

After the last post while in Dxb still... this is wat i did the remaining 2 days n 2 nights:

- 2 hours of blindfolded hide n seek with 9 others ;D
- 1.5 hours of table soccer with 4 person on each team, push ups as penalty for losing team (double ;D)
- raiding the rooms of 4 others who refused to join us..
- used the mighty washing machine for the first time n uniform almost spin til disintegrated if not for the kind intervention of DC's online home ec advises
- cooked myself another 3 meals n passed the egg test
- watched Wanted n 21 on DVD in the room
- drank tankloads of iced coffee (there's this neat contraption of a coffee machine in the room lar! can't resist! ;p)
- kena fever n worked back with fever for all of 10-11 hrs ;( (2 hr delay somemore. knn)

No pics of the egg-citing night in the crew room though...
Well.. u know wat they say bout us members of the Mile High Club.. *winks*


hahahah yeah rite... ;D
No lar! Never bring camera down cos din expect the crew to be so spontaneous n fun!
It's been 2 yrs plus since the last time i played in-room hide n seek u know!

i think the next time i ever have a chalet activity or house party must suggest this game!

i dunno why my non crew frenz always diss it as childish but it's damn fun can!
U'd never know there will be places to hide in a plain living room until u see some on top of a fridge, a microwave oven, top shelf of a wardrobe, underneath the sofa cushion, underneath the soccer table, posing as a lamp post, slinking behind the flat screen tv............ *giggles*

After catch liao, u have pple hugging the catchee n trying to confuse u with multiple heads, hairy arms n chest n polo tshirt collars n watever while the catcher tries to guess the identity of catchee!
Hilarious!
And all u need is a room n a pair of eyeshades n a bunch of bored pple!

N for the record...
my egg test n culinary skills...

Egg attempt #1
Whooppee!! shouldn't have added oil.. oops

Broccoli, mushrooms with garden veg, panfried chicken breast

How to marinate chicken when got no salt n pepper??
u won't believe this but i used (eeps, dun laugh) instant coffee!
I was looking around the bare kitchen helplessly after adding oil n chopped up garlic n onions for something to flavour the chicken n saw the instant Nescafe coffee sachets n tot "haR! y not?"

It turned out okie!! Mommy's gonna be proud to know tt i cut out salt in my food! yeehee!


Baked beans, broccoli n mushrooms for brekkie/lunch

Egg attempt #2!
Waah!! Much better!
I'm so proud of meself!!

In preparation for my last meal in Dxb.
My last bit of chicken breast..
This time i added tea leaves too.. WAhahahha!!!~ ;D
N defrosted it properly...
N cooked it over lower heat.. ;p

I realised tt one has to be patient while cooking...
instead of jus wanting food to be cooked...
otherwise stuff gets burnt on outside n stays uncooked inside!
Applies to barbeques too!! Why pple like big big fires which produce cancer causing charred food!! ;p

Chunky tuna flakes n garden veg n mushroom tomato based pasta
With sliced shicken on top.

Okie... possibility of anyone dying of hunger while locked up in an apartment with food in the kitchen with me is now zero.

Next time will learn chinese food.

N tamade, i get better wifi in Angsana hotel room than my room back at home.
grrrrr~
