Cooked panfried breaded chicken! It was a pretty epic cooking adventure: forgot to defrost the chicken so I had to do so in the microwave and did it for a tad too long so I ended up half-cooking the chicken, got my fingers messy with the flour-egg-breadcrumbs dipping/coating stations, used up way more oil than any other dish trying to panfry these ( Read more... )

I now understand what people mean when they say that Be Here Now is the most underrated Oasis album.

From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" - which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

So far I've designed the header for the cover of a typography magazine, a CD sleeve ( Read more... )

First difference between the Singapore and UK budgets that I noticed: I don't see anything on skills upgrading in the UK budget.

I have this sudden urge to play the guitar ):

Thoughts:

Itchy throat, runny nose, and worse of all, very bad chills + mild fever, put under control only by regular Panadol dosages every 7 hours.

I've only got God left to hold on to, and I suppose that's why I have yet to fall apart.
