I cooked!

Hello this is an obligatory blog post because I haven't done so in a million years (Well less than that but who's being precise)

Anyway, today, for the first time in my life, I cooked a full meal! (Well ok fine I only helped out here and there but as i said who's being precise)

I mean, I've cooked maggi mee and eggs and stuff but not like a proper meal. Because of this module I'm taking, I have to take part in a group activity with my group, and we chose to cook a 3 course meal! (well technically it's 2 course, but yea precise yea) (EDIT: I realized it IS 3 course lol!)


Our menu was as such:
Cream of Mushroom
Pork Cordon Bleu (which is essentially just one fat pork cutlet with ham and cheese inside!)
Spaghetti with BOLOGNESE with sausage slices
Ice cream dessert (vanilla/chocolate with a Kit Kat bar! Eh I swear some restaurant served this on their menu and sold it for like $7-8 i can't remember which)

We all helped out in different ways la, our main chef was our group leader Lynette who basically fried all the cutlets. I chopped all the onions! (And learnt that I was immune to onions ) (They don't make me tear even if I put my face next to it) And sausages. And passed the ingredients to them when they needed it. (Clearly trying to justify my contribution)

OK ON TO FOOD PICS.

This wasn't just campbell soup ok, it's some special recipe that my group member found! haha. made with chicken broth, personally sliced mushrooms, cream of mushroom, etc etc.

Yummy

Master chef at work (not me)

Yumz! The white stuff you see is the cheese oozing out! Shiok max!
We did take photos with a DSLR will post those when the guy uploads k! Will look nicer than this

The pork cutlet was quite shiok to eat.. I helped to tenderize some of it and merge the two pork slabs ! haha learnt new cooking tip from our master chef Lynette (our group leader who incidentally loves cooking)
We made like.. 5 cutlets? Lol shiok. But the first 4 weren't THAT nice because we left it to cool and it became tougher and harder! The last piece we ate it straight from the pan and it was SOOO good. Like melt in your mouth yumz

Our full meal! This is like one portion, We had like 5 portions.

DAMN FULL

My group had 3 girls and me and another guy, and girls being girls don't eat alot. So I had to eat like most of the pasta!! Stuffed myself to the brim.

Oh we had ice cream too but didn't take photo of that. And had alot more photos of human beings instead of inanimate objects but all on the DSLR! Hope my friend posts them soon.

Ok bye!

Slacking in the background :p

Dear Future Me

Dear Future Me,

One day, some time in the future, you're going to want to play WoW again. I don't know when it will be, it could be in a few years, next year, next holidays, next month or even next week. But it will happen, for sure.

You're going to feel the urge to return to the World of Warcraft, the World you have spent hours and days in, the world you have spent so much time in. You're going to feel the desire to raid again, to fight in a co-ordinated team effort and kill bosses that are oh so difficult. You're going to want to experience the thrill of gearing up your character with the most powerful loot. You're going to think 'oh why not, i'm so free anyway!'.

HOWEVER.

You need to stop that thought right there. For your own good, DO NOT START AGAIN!

If you start,

- You're going to be bounded to the game for AT LEAST 16 hours a week
- You're going to lose about $20 a month
- You're going to find it hard to schedule project meetings because you have to go home early 3 weekdays (assuming you join a AUS/NZ guild, which you have to anw as there's no SG guild that's decent)
- You're going to be studying every single free day you have and wonder why other people seem so free.
- You're going to find you can't finish your assignments.
- You're going to have to rush your dinner so often you don't even enjoy the food
- You're going to reject outings to play WoW
- You're going to want to go home from outings earlier to play WoW.
- You're going to plan your schedule AROUND WoW. That's just messed up.
(Interesting article about how video games keep you hooked)

And worst of all, you're going to neglect those around you. Those that you care and cherish, but you just think 'nvm I'll play first, talk to them later. They'll understand'. They don't.
You'll start losing contact with people. You'll start losing those you care about. You'll make them upset. And it killed you. It made YOU upset.
If you're still lucky enough to have a gf, you're going to make HER upset. You'll make her feel neglected.

Don't be stupid. A silly game isn't worth it. A silly game isn't worth giving up your social life. Or your studies. Or love.

Think of the free time you have to do what you want, what you need to do.
Think of the good conversations you can have with your friends
Think of the good conversations you had with your gf.
Think of the feeling of just enjoying the moment, and not thinking about what's next.
Think of being able to meet up with people!

A virtual world is not a real one, by definition. Don't go and live in one again.

Do NOT start playing World of Warcraft.


Love,
Present me.
