The run today was perfectly good...except for some small blisters caused by the sock...
considering the superb lack of training this year....I think well...
it's all good.
taken my mind well off some issues hangin'...
I'm like afraid that I might not be even able to spend christmas in Singapore.
I think that isn't much of an issue to many people...
but I guess for me...I'd wanna be in Singapore coz Jace is around.
At least I can try dig out time to spend with her in some way or other...
Well it's nothing much, as least it's something I will wanna work on with my work schedule.

Spent the whole of last week think and searching a gift for her just in case I'm not back in time...
WAh....goodness...trying to get girls stuff can be real complicated.
Not that I haven't gotten any girl anything but...this time is different.
And I was looking around all by myself...
Going ito girlie stores and female section...getting weird looking stares...people thinking
that I'm kinda going for some conversion....EEEeeew...never!
But yesterday, I finally found something...something simple.
And I guess the packaging would need some work....maybe just alittle...hahaha...
with alittle Poem slipped in.
Hope she likes it..

Oh well..

And today will be also the end of my 14 days of taking over the role of Daddy and Mummy in the house...
I only had time for just 1 experiment though....which I think my grandma and sis with her boyfriend found it
very nice...cool....

ok maybe just alittle sharing of it...
It's my own French Clear Onion Soup...
hahaha

Here it goes...

----------------------------------
-2 BigWhite Onion stripped
-3 big Pink Onion stripped
-1 small shallot stripped
-2 garlic minced
-Olive Butter
(if there is some white wine it will be good to let the onion cook in it with the butter)

Fry the top ingredients until the onions and tender and slightly brown.

Boil the bottom ingredients together under slow fire
-Fresh Thyme, Italian parsley & bay leaves tied together
-a pinch of dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
-1.25 liter chicken broth
-3/4 teaspoon salt
-1 teaspoon brown sugar
-2 tablespoon Dubonnet

(if there is some beef cubes it will be best)

Once the onions are ready, combine the onions and stock together and let it all boil through.
Keep stirring to prevent the onions from burning at the bottom.

The Soup will slowly have a nice light sooth of sweet onion flavour.

Add alittle pepper to taste....and viola! It's done!
