Why, oh, why do I always do this to myself?
I don’t cook frequently, yet when I do, it must be these big multi-hour productions that don’t always end up the way I envision them.
Total cooking time: 5 hours.
Total eating time: 30 minutes. Maybe less
2009 Ang Pows
Last year, I blogged about OCBC Ang Pows and I think I will be remiss if I don’t follow up on this year’s batch of ang pows I received.
The good news is, OCBC did not disappoint, although it wasn’t quite as impressive as in year 2008. And there were some with interesting ideas with other red packets, but that I thought didn’t quite work.
First Night on Hand Made Bed
I felt like I was in the Princess and the Pea.
Putting together a bed
It all began with me leaving my bed at my old house. It was an Ikea Lillehammer $90 bed for the frame and $30 for the slats. And I thought, I’ll just get another. But Ikea had replaced it with a brown coloured equivalent called Eina ($139) which was of even lower quality.
Then I got the wrong sized sheets – super single instead of single and thought of upgrading a few more centimeters.
Looking at the Lillehammer, which was a four sided frame on four legs, I thought, this shouldn’t be too hard.
