Nice way to end the last day of your work :)

Ramen At Home

Bought tonkotsu (black pig bone) soup base ramen pack from those Japanese mart $5 serve 2.

Using thermal, i made some ikan bilis, carrots, onion and potato soup base the night before.

As for the crispy chicken filet katsu, i marinate with salt, pepper then fried it with my favourite Kentucky fried chicken flour. Honestly, this is way too good compared to instand noodle, similar to Ajisen. Everyone should try!

Props for the groom and brothers to dance Poopi Poopi dance

Chinese traditions, the groom (and his brothers) need to pass through taste of life to get his bride. Sour, Sweet, Bitter and Spicy.

Instead of normal herbal tea for bitter, i added in cheonggukjang 청국장 (smelly bean paste soup) for the touch of bitterness in life.

One classic expression of the groom!

Pretty rose red bed for the newly wedd, huat ah!

Refinancing

I figured out how HDB calculate their 2.6% annual interest rate and how the whole monthly payment work out on my own without googling. I figured these out on the last day of 2010, on 2am after booze and TGI Friday wings!!!! I am crazy arent I?

Shall share more on the calculation on my next post to share :) I know my girlfriends will appreciate this, they have been bothered and asking everyone they know about house financing the whole of 2010. Yes, 2010 is the year to celebrate, the year i attend so many weddings, the year i saw so many proposal, the year i got so many enquiries on buying a unit.

1st task for 2011: To visit HDB to refinance my unit!
