What's predator doing here?!
Character from Star Wars?Butter seemed abit disappointed. I'm not a fan but I thought the toys and comics were pretty limited. Perhaps the one that can give that "Wow!" factor gotta be in Tokyo.
Share with you guys something. Butter made me watch Death Note and Star Wars. Those were movies that I wouldn't watch on my own accord :p hehe But I ended up loving the plots and characters. For Star Wars, eh...all I used to know...was the favourite toys among my cousins decades back. And what I was most familiar with was the black thing, the green dwarf thing, the gold human robot, the short robot and that hairy thing. Then we had smurfs, transformers and legos in our toy buckets.
(Darth Vader is an Iconic Villian, tragic fall of former self Anakin Skywalker....in fact thought he is quite a sad character. An impressive war movie ever made in history based on past technology. Just by watching a part (with Butter busy explaining the characters and plots of coz' heh), I have to say George Lucas is a genius!
Death Note is really good as well. Intelligent plot. I like "L"...too bad he died.)
Eh...as you can see...no pics of me.Coz.....I'm the photographer!!! Butter actually took a picture of me...Thought my face looked kinda "swell up" due to sleep and partying at Dragonfly on Friday night.

Dragonfly
Made Shirley and Ping to reach dragonfly before 8.30pm on Fri. Coz I want my table heh. Was quite surprised seeing the crowd there early..but anyway was happy...coz I got my table in front of stage :P
(Butter wasn't there. He doesn't like to club so I went ahead with the gals.)
Jiaying came to join us at 9 plus with Shirley busy mixing the drinks. I suggest we mix ourselves the next time round. And just as the real party was getting started, one of Shirley's friends went down and the other puked all over the floor. The one who went down was pretty scary, thought I heard myself scream. So suddenly! He looked so alright and the next second he just free fall backwards and lost all his balance. We tried to get him to sit and he fell onto the floor again. The frightening part was his eyes were wide open and in a daze, felt like sending him to hospital. Then the next minute, there was vomit all over the floor where the guy fell. Super disgusting I tell you. And there was that poor girl in dress slipped and fell into the vomit. We tried to grab her...but it was too slippery. Thinking of that, feel like puking now. Gross!
Well that incident kinda woke us up and ruined the party mood. We ended up leaving before 2am. And the next day, woke up with splitting headache. Think I told Butter "not going to chiong anymore."

On Thursday night, attended company team bonding session. The cooking challenge! and it was really fun. We were all separated into teams. Was in Team 1, the one and only lady in the team heh.
The challenge was divided into 2 parts. Part 1, each team was given 2 malay dishes to cook. Our team got the toughest dishes, 2 types of curry at a given time. I had never cut so many onions in my life ( for the paste preparation)...what a teary experience! Our teamwork was fantastic, we completed our dishes way before time...while the rest were still struggling, we were sitting around shaking legs, KPOing at others' areas and enjoying wine (except for me, was enjoying my lemon tea heh).
Then came the second part, the blackbox challenge. We were given 20 mins to come out with a dish using chicken. Everyone looked abit lost at first coz we gotta make do with what we have available. So my team guys looked at me...and I said "Stewed chicken??". That was the first thing that came to my mind, a dish that I cooked sometimes over the weekend. The "Tou You Kuay" translated as chicken in dark sauce, soya sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.
The guys gave me that ??????????????? look and unconvincingly "ok, we will do that!"
At that moment, was abit brain-dead. Almost forgot how to cook that totally. Gosh! And everybody in the team kept asking me questions. I ended up pouring all the sauces together "Let's start with marination!"
"shitz! my chicken is black!"
"too much dark sauce?!"
"I need water!"
"I need pepper"
"Where's the pot?! Boil it! throw the chicken in!"
(12 mins to go...)
"Shucks! will the chicken be cooked by boiling?? Left 10 mins only!"
(Then the Chef suggested: "maybe you should cut the chicken up")
"Shucks!!"
Anyway, we did cut the chicken...don't ask me how....geez
"The chicken looks black...supposed to look like this?"
"...ermmm...yes"
"You need chilli? Red Chilli...or Green?"
"Nahh...They won't go well...this is soya chicken you know."
"You just slice the potato and carrot."
"Oh... (??)...ok"
(2 mins to go...)
"Chicken cooked?"
"Looks cooked."
"Taste?"
*shucks*
"Add Sugar!!! Add Water!!!"
(1 min + to go...)
"Taste like sesame oil...supposed to taste like that?"
"Ermmmm....yes..." (In fact the taste was so different from what I cooked at home *sob*)
"Then you got it right" :)
*sigh*
(10 secs...)
"Lets put it up!"
"Actually your chicken looks good...traditional home cooked style."
"Thanks"
"But maybe we should have fried the chicken instead..do cutlet or something...."
*sob*
Teams...please name your dish!
"Ok, I will call mine - Stewed Black Chicken. Ehh...how do you name it in Malay?"
win Liaoz!
Anyway....My black chicken won the challenge of the day! Our team took home the prizes! heh. Other teams actually fried their chickens and somehow they were in a mess. The organiser went to share with everyone on what she observed in our team...I felt abit touched haha
We had our dinner at about 9pm. We ate what we cook :P with wines. The dinning room was really nice and cosy.
The session was great...Coz I ended up clicking pretty well with my UK colleagues.
