小当家?

I’m unexpectedly free today (except for the never-ending filing that I have to do), this is strange & out of the blue, on this hatred Friday … no last minute assignments, no disturbance from other departments. I can even type my blog here. Isn’t it weird? Finger cross this will last till end of the day. *wink*

I had a body check (health screen) this morning in our hotel’s Executive Room. The Sabah Family Planning Association is offering a special rate (RM100nett) to all our staffs, in PH. It’s cheap compared to the normal health screen outside which I have to arrange my own time + take leave to do it. So, I’ve decided to take up the offer. It’s relatively important for us to have a thorough check-up every once a year. Hmmm … let me think, my last body check-up was 8 years ago. Oh goshhhh …. I never realized that I’ve actually neglected my health for so many years.

I did the blood test & urine test this morning. I’ve been fasting since last night 7pm (after dinner) until this morning. I seldom skip my b’fast, but today I skipped it because of this test. Well, skipping b’fast is not good, I felt so slack & moody this morning, couldn’t concentrate on anything. As I said, I don’t have last minute assignment at the moment, I laid back & had a cup of hot chocolate. That is so enjoyable! I’m sure I’ll get myself into trouble if MD comes in at that time. =P

Ever since my mum fall sick, I took over the kitchen’s main role from her. My mum always call me 小当家(little woman of the house) nowadays. *pai seh* I have to think of choices of soups & dishes to cook everyday. Due to my hectic working hours, I can only cook on Saturdays & Sundays. Weekdays will just serve up boiled-soup which I can start boiling in the morning before I set off for work. Now I realized the fun thing of getting recipes from the Internet & recipe books (like what Denise always do), seeing all the good food around, I can’t wait to step into the kitchen again.

Managed to find a few websites which have a number of simple recipes:-

中华美食
Chinese Home Cooking
Chinese Food Recipes

… I might try them one of these days.

And … I suddenly have an idea to cook Teriyaki Fish Fillet this week. Hmmm … Will come back with more ideas.

p/s: I miss the Chicken floss bun in Deli Corner so much … gonna buy one for my afternoon tea break later! Denise, don’t you miss the bun here?
