Chunky Fried Rice

Since I am back in KL,then I shall enjoy myself to the most. Today my parents and siblings went to a mega warehouse book sale. They wont be home till I don't know when. Decided to cook myself a nice breakfast. There hasn't much ingredients in the kitchen but enough for me to fried me-self a nice free-style fried rice. And I'll share the steps here. Off we go!! Woot!! (Derek, 2009)

Ingredients :
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • half a stick of carrot
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices of luncheon meat
  • a bowl of cold rice
  • 3 spoonful of sunflower oil
  • salt (but I prefer soy sauce)
  • pepper
  • spring onion (to garnish)
Steps :
1) Cut carrot and luncheon meat into cubes and dice garlic. Set aside.

2) Heat wok/pan then add a spoonful of oil. Fry carrot cubes following with luncheon meat cubes till brown.


3) Remove the cubes from pan and set aside. Add oil and saute garlic then add in the cubes following with cold rice.

4) Stir in everything together and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, amount is up to personal taste.

5) Stir everything well, then dig a hole and add in oil to fry egg. Slightly beat egg with soy sauce then pour into the hole. =)

6) Mix everything and get ready to serve. Garnish the rice with spring onion and off we go to the dining table.





Tips :
  • Try substitute garlic with ginger,it's a totally awesome combination.
  • If preparing one or two portions, try using soy sauce instead of salt. For bigger portions, use both salt and soy sauce.
  • If rice is too dry, pour little water after step 4. But stir fast because rice will then become soft. If heated too long, it will turn sticky.
  • My attempt this time is a bit crunchy because have to snap some pix. And I can"t find my fav spring onion. Sob Sob. T.T

"HCUM OS UOY SESSIM"

Friday is public holiday and mom said since it's a "long weekend" should go back. Didn't plan to go back KL this weekend, because I'm not in the best form. And I've been throwing up a lot after dinner. As for the previous time, I'll keep myself away from food, but this time I've been craving for food a lot. This will turn very bad especially when I am back in KL. However what have I to say to my parents that I have no wishes to go back for the weekend.

In two hours time, I'll be heading back to KL. And the weather in Kampar now is very "pretty". The clouds are colored by grey crayons, the trees and flowers are dancing on the pedestrian path. The winds sounded like an old folk playing with his flute. Rain drops falling as if ballerinas performing on stage. Along with these you can hear tigers and lions roaring. Looked outside from the window you can see people rushing back homes with umbrellas, newspapers, and hands on top of their head. Putting everything together, it felt so nice to lie on the bed, close up your eyes and keep your mind empty. Today's rain sounded surprisingly soft and calming.

The clock seems to be ticking very fast and the atmosphere in 1335/B1 is not getting any better. Luggage hasn't been packed, and the human staying inside is still blogging and "moodying". Everything seems so cold to her. However, her mind is filled with memories. Her eyes are filled with liquid. And her body is sitting up in front of her lappy, hands are dancing on the keyboard. Her mood has been the same with yesterday. There hasn't been any idea why memories kept flashing back and why tears kept running down. She dared not turn on any musics because it will only make assist the water drops flood the eyes.

Till here, she has no idea how to continue this post already because her mind is going blank gradually. She really have to start packing for KL. It's 5.04pm now, cab will be arriving at 6pm sharp. And she still needs to take a shower.

P/S : If you so happened to read this post >> Have you figured out what is "HCUM UOY OS SESSIM"?? =)

YOU

This is a post specially dedicated for YOU, who was once me beloved partner. You are someone who was once special to me, someone who once brighten up my life. Here are something that I wanted to let you know, because I am not brave enough to tell you in person.

You might not realize what you have said, but it was enough to cheer me up for the rest of the day.

You might not realize what you have done, but it was enough to make boost up my energy to work the day out.

You might not realize what facial expression you have shown on your face, but it was enough to put a smile on mine.

At the same time,

You might not realize how your words may hurt my feelings, but I still love you.

You might not realize how your actions made me uncomfortable, yet I love you so.

You might not realize how my day was ruined by your actions and words, however love never stops.


There may be lots of fighting,

There may be lots of quarrels,

There may be lots of disappointments,

There may be lots of lies,

Yet,

There were still JOYS,

There were still LAUGHTERS,

There were still EXCITEMENTS,

They have given us tears and happiness,

And most importantly,

LOVE.

Thank you for all the love you have given me all these times, they were the best time I had throughout the year. I will not know what is going to happened in the future, but all these memories will be treasured and will not be erased.

We are both grown up. We should understand and be clear of what we are doing. Therefore I have no regrets on the path I’ve chosen. And I hope you felt the same too.
