Announcement: I'm Studying

*waives* Hello Jules, Wes, Lynn, Moose, Ali (!!!) and SS :D

Listen up people! Pay attention now! Looks like a lot of people hasn't got the news I'm back to school. Yep, I'm studying again!!! Well just to pass sometime and to improve myself. I realise that having left engineering for 6 years will not get me back into the industry ever again. The money minded and business minded me decided to take up a course in Financial Planning instead. I'm doing it online with College for Financial Planning (duh! how dodgy!) of Colorado. It's only a Certificate but it's my stepping stone towards becoming a Chartered Financial Planner. Planning to take the exams for it next July and hopefully - better start praying for me now people - I'll pass the first time. It's not cheap ok!!! I have to pay like USD600 just to take the exams and you can only take the exams in States!! *winks* Which means, hehehehe, I'll be flying to States in July to just to take the exams and nobody can say nothing!!! If I do not pass then it's another USD600 (IF they do not increase the price but I'm sure they will) and air ticket+hotel+meals expenses!! That doesn't even include trips to factory outlets! Nelson's already trying to decide between California or Florida. I can choose to take the exam in any of the 25 locations countrywide. I'm thinking NY or CA. Actually Arkansas has crossed my mind too! Freeeeee accommodation man.

Pirated version of Minnie Mouse: I thought you're supposed to be on annual leave? You're in Milan on business or is it a private trip??? I want bags but I can't afford any!!! My birthday is very near *hint* *hint*

I'm sooooo poor now I can't afford anything! I have to save for 6 months just to buy my husband a birthday meal which by the way hasn't happened yet. He hasn't joined the blog yet so I can speak freely for now (yes, I know he can see back-dated posts when he joins) I hope to be able to make up for it this weekend. It didn't happen on his birthday itself because I fell ill :((

Anybody in this blog has made "yau char kwai" a.k.a Chinese Fritters before?? I kept trying and trying but I just can't get it to become fluffy! It doesn't expand much....just a little....I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!! Does resting the dough after shaping them into "yau char kwai" affects the expansion later on??? Urgh!! Annoying.....

OK let me see, I have invited Father Ricky, Marcus, A.Flo, U. Hock, A. Eng, A. Yan, Mummy and Nelson. Whoever I have left out, please let me know OK? OH GOSH! I forgot the head of the gangster Kelvin!!!! OK OK I'll send an invite to him now.

PS: my 2 little sisters, you might have to help the senior Lees along in this a little bit OK (ie mummy and A.Yan)......
