On Government Service and the days before

Tomorrow, I will be going for my high key ICT which for me is the 5th while some of my platoon mates will be their 6th. A couple of years back, I was not called back to participate in one of the high key ICT which they had quite a hard time then. Whew!!! I should say hehe... Bad hor...


Well, going on government service is like a love-hate relationship. Why? Its pros will be I'm "on leave" and need not work, can get some rest (saw my eye bags a couple of days back... wow... didn't realise that they are bulging out) and meet up with my platoon mates. Its cons will be I got to tie up all loose ends both at work and at home before I go off. This alone is like condensing all the things I had to do over the next week into the last couple of days. It can be stressful at times.


Despite being stressful, I do have my lucky times. I attended the annual D&D on Friday, I got 3rd prize at the lucky draw. I believe this is the luckiest time out of my eh.... 29yrs on earth... haha... The prize is $500 Takashimaya vouchers and the best thing is there is no expiry date. Haha... given my track record of forgetting to use my previous vouchers, this is really a good thing. At least, I can use it anytime I want with no time limit. Well, there's a reason why I always forget to use my vouchers. I don't go shopping frequently or have many things to buy as I don't see the need to use the vouchers just for the sake of using them. I must say, I'm greedy... I do hope to win something bigger and more expensive in lucky draws hehe....


After a long Saturday rushing to tie up loose ends at work, Sunday's my time to fulfill my responsibility to my family... Hehe... one of which is my own new creation - chicken chop sphagetti... Over the past 2 times, I put the meat into the sauce. I was thinking why not take the meat out and cook a separate dish to add some colour to the normal yellow and red outlook.


Ok... I must say the chicken chop is a small piece... Hey, I'm not stingy ok... but I just couldn't find a big piece of meat in the fridge and the biggest one piece meat is from a chicken drumstick. So I go no choice. Hehe... though its a normal chop but adding a little chilli sauce to marinate the meat has brought some spiciness to the tomato sauce. Hmm... what should I put in next.... Maybe I should try seafood ingredients... hehe... the taste I can only tell after I've done it...



Appetizing?? Hehe...
