A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Very touched

I had my first dinner cooked by a guy last night. It made my night.

And it wasn't a very elaborate one, but still, there was quite a lot of effort spent on it. I was impressed....very very impressed.

He commented last week that Thai Edge's fried rice is really simple to make, and said he'll make it one day. I thought he was just blowing his trumpet and kidding, but he made it last night. Fried rice wrapped in omelette. It was a very good try, but because we're so deprived of really good ingredients, the fried rice didn't turn out as ideal as we wanted it to be.

He also cooked vegetables and chicken wings. It was darn impressive! It looked so ordinary but when I tried it, I couldn't believe that he made it. It tasted soooooo good. This isn't a bias comment. It's true. It beats that cooked in the restaurant. The meat which he marinated to fry with the vege was so sweet, juicy and delicious.

The chicken wings was made differently from those we get outside too. I was expecting shrimp paste chicken, but it was a marination he created. For the first time, I tried chicken wings with the taste of cumin seeds (I think tt's what it's called). The meat in UK stinks a lot, but his wings didn't stink at all. It was so well made.

Boy was he proud of himself last night. Kept going "So I'm not that bad afterall right? Who said just because I live a good life, means I can't cook?"

And the reason why he wants himself to be a good cook is because he loves delicious food, and he will rather be the one cooking his family dinner next time if his wife cooks horribly. What a reason..

We watched Ying Xiong Ben Se I and II last night at his place. That show's pretty violent, but it was a good show (some parts was quite crappy though). He loves it, and got really excited when he found out his friend's got it.

I better study now. Might go out tonight to watch fireworks since it's Guy Fawke's Day. Then again, don't even know if we'll go. He sounds so lazy...and not very keen to even go to Ikea with me even though I really wanna go. Sigh. I miss Swedish meatballs..
