Anyway there's Bank Holiday Breakfast tomorrow in church from 9.30am and they asked for helpers to prepare. I offered to go and help at 9am but won't stay for bfast..cos it will go on till prob 12pm! (means a lot of chatting!!) and is £5 for full English bfast (6 items) which I'm not keen (but it's for church funds too). They were saying they're expecting at least 10 ppl. Actually they should sell "tickets" to make sure people turn up..cos I think they only collect money tmr. Oh ya, then they talked about how the "chinese meal" cooked by one of the ministers was. Said there was two big pie dishes of piled-up beansprouts with curry powder?!?! And deep fried sea weed? Oh my...sounded unappealing..and they said they didn't expect this either and no where near Chinese...haha..anyway I took the opportunity to ask them when I shld do my Singaporean meal and for how many. Ch said up to me..whenever I'm ready and number of people also up to me! I'm thinking to cook chicken rice as main course..then appetiser can be either kaya toasts or bak kut teh (cos is soup) and dessert can be agar agar or sweet potato soup with ginger? I also dunno! Any suggestions???? But I will definitely enjoy cooking for them. One of them suggested to do when my mum is here so she can help but told them too soon...and another said maybe not cos my mum is on holiday..haha! I was thinking either July or Aug. Aug will coincide with National Day. I will have to ask what utensils I will have access to.
After church went to Bearwood. Went to see some shoes n tops at Select and Peacocks shops cos there was sale. But didn't get anything. Then went to Aldi..got some cookies, waffles (bring for friends in London) and also bought mixed leaf salad, butter and sweet potato. Was tempted to buy chocolate but resisted...haahaa! Was thinking what to cook for next few days and thought should get some greens and sweet potato to make as sides if I wanted to cook salmon and my lasagne. Kinda walked around a few times deciding if that's all I'm getting..hahaha!
Finally managed to call ah ma. The moment she picked up the phone, she said ah ma went missing already la..everyone looking for her. HAHAA! Apparently my aunt was also looking for her yday..so funny la! I think I'll call her on weekdays next time..prob higher chance to get her. Good that she's active in her "poot tng" and have her circle of friends.
Too bad I missed the chance to video call with my niece when my parents went over after gg to ah ma's house. But I made appt with her via my bro for tue at my parent's place. Also asked yiyi to settle her skype then we can try video conferencing..will be fun!! Oh, last week I told my bro during video call tt my niece seems like wants a playmate lor..hint to them to have no. 2 la! Cos she was so happy when she saw my sis-in-law's son's video...then she also kept talking and playing with puppet. Then my bro lame la..ask me find guy get married and have kids so my niece will hv playmate...siao lor..as if instant. Then asked why I keep rushing them. HAHAH! Aiyah..kids are adorable mah..n better to have more now than later on then age gap won't be tt big.
Continued with the Risk of Bias assessment for my articles for thesis for the rest of the afternoon. Cooked salmon with salad and sweet potatoes as sides for dinner tonight. YUMS
