Baked Chicken

Recipe

2 pieces of chicken thigh (leave skin on as this will preserve the tenderness of the chicken)
4 table spoon of dark soy sauce
2 table spoon of Mixed Herb (or you can mix on ur own - rosemary, thyme, dill, etc)
1 table spoon of Cajun Seasoning
2 table spoon of Pure Honey
1 table spoon of Sunflower Oil (any oil will do, if you have Olive Oil, much better)

Method:

Mix all ingredients including the chicken into a ziplock bag and marinate for at least 2 hours. Then, preheat your normal skillet (non-stick frying pan or better still the griddle) with very minimal amount of oil. Just to grease your skillet litely. Place the two thighs on the skillet, cover it with a lid. Slow cook the chicken for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You'll have a perfect baked chicken ready for two.

Once the chicken is ready, remove the skin before serving unless you love to torture your heart with cardiovascular disease! Served best while it's hot. The recommended side dishes would be steamed brocoli and baby carrots and mashed potatoes.

Happy cooking :)

Body Massage

My whole body is aching. Maybe because I have not pampered my self for quite sometimes. I have not even gone to do facials for God knows how long. So, I was telling my self maybe it's about time to go for a body massage. The question is WHEN?

As usual, I'm thinking of hopping into Thai Oddysey. So far, it's the best spa I've ever experienced. So, Thai Oddysey... here I come.....

Back in the office

Today, I'm back to the office after a one-week holiday in my hometown. I got back to my place yesterday evening and reached home around 6 pm. It was kinda sad to leave mak and abah home alone. But it would not be for too long as they will be coming here on Friday evening.

Anyway, I'm already in the office and there are many things to be done. Will continue to write later...

Saving All My Love For You

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy living all alone
My friends try and tell me find a man of my own
But each time I try I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night for I feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night that I feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you
Yeah 'm saving all my lovin'
Yes I'm saving all my love for you , for you

Always

Girl you are to me
All that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life
To you always

A love like yours is rare
It must have been sent from upabove
And I know you'll stay this way
For always

And we both know
That our love will grow
And forever it will be
You and me

Ooh you're like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days

You're the perfect one
For me and you forever will be
And I will love you so
For always

Come with me my sweet
Let's go make a family
They will bring us joy
For always

Ooh boy I love you so
I can't find enough ways
To let you know
But you can be sure I'm yours
For always

Spring Cleaning

Today is my last day at home as I will be going back to Bandar Puteri tomorrow. Back to the office on Monday, as usual. So, after days of delayed plan, I forced my self to clean up the maid's room. My goodness. Things were everywhere and it was left undone. It took me some times to figure out what I should do first.

I rearranged the beds, threw old stuff, vacuumed the floor, and many others. I should have asked her to clean up during last raya break but I guess, I forgot totally about it. Anyway, the room is all neat now. And I'm having my sinus!!

Maid

My parents maid has gone back to her home country after finishing her two years contract. So now, my parents are having no helper and moi, being the nicest child of the family (chewah!!) offered myself to help them out while I'm on leave. In a way, I'm glad that the maid has gone back. She was a bit of a nuisance to us.

She lied about her age when she applied for the job. She was 50 by the time she went back. In many instances, she had done damages to our property without the courtesy of telling us how it happened. She gave too many excuses when we asked about something. And since she's 50, she thought that she could boss me around too!!

All we are asking from the new maid is her sincerity in doing her job as we are paying quite handsomely to them despite the limited amount of work that they have to do.

So, until the new maid arrives, I am the official MAID at my parent's place... hehehehe....
