Cooking on last Friday was pretty easy - as easy as Keita the vampire biting my neck and eating my pulsating wrinkled brain that weighs about only a kilogram.
Never did we know we were cooking something that worth about a painful five bucks outside - Pasta. Yes, you heard it right, it's the deightful Italian pasta! No more frequent trips to Pastamania where you pay a hell lot for the decoration and the ambience.
Presenting the ingredients - our pasta that can easily be mistaken as pick up sticks (note, it's really unhygienic to play with your food before cooking it - you might cause your grandmother to die) , onions and crabstick.
That's what we have for now.
First we gotta get out the big silver pot and boil some water molecules.
Meanwhile, we peel the crabstick into small little slices.
And chop up the magenta onion. Chop chop chop.
Once the water is boiling ferociously and effervescence starts to be seen - you know that it's ready for a good bath for the innocent looking pastas. So soak it in and watch the hard errected pasta become as soft as tofu (okay fine, maybe not so soft).
And once you think the pasta is ready - which could be proven by a little test: Pull a strand of pasta from each side and see whether it's elastic. If it is, it's ready - if it breaks too fast or can't be pulled apart at all, then it's not, easy right!
After it's ready, pour the pasta into the filtering thing (I forgot it's name) and obtain the pasta as residue (as you can see, Chemistry have a deadly effect on my blogging).
Add a little bit of olive oil to the pasta.
As you can see, I haven't got a really good close up angle on the next few steps but it's alright because the table is so delightfully colorful so it doesn't matter.
As usual, if you have been following the previous boring cooking posts, you'd know that you have to fry butter on the monstrous pan.
Next add in the fresh onion that deserve a whack on their butt.
Then the crab meat - anyone fancy Mr Crab?
Add 3 of the sauces you see on the table previously (sometimes having a bad angle is good!) to whip up the Mr Divine Sauce that will accompany Miss Pasta.
Add in water - phoar, and there you got it, a sweet and sour sauce to work hand in hand with the pasta to play around with your taste buds and hopefully fill your stomach (it's very filling!)
But wait! We haven't add in Miss Pasta yet!
And there you got it - an unbreakable partnership, friendship and courtship.
Mm, curling both sauce and pasta together into an unbroken love that will last for an eternity until they face death in the churning human stomach where they will be broken down into different minerals (nooooooo!).
Tada! And there you got it - serve it while it's hot (and when the love is hot)
Whew. Haven't been blogging for a few days and thoughts of giving up blogging have been recurring in my mind, because blogging have seem soooooo boring nowadays and the URL thing has really killed my mood.
For those who don't know why I changed my URL from the holy leon-.blogspot to this cranky ohleon.blogspot, here's the reason why:
I'm sure many people have encounter the deadly fact that blogs with hyphens at the start or at the end of the page doesn't load, which inevitably, will make my viewership decrease so as a result, narcissist Leon has decided to switch URL to ensure the smooth traffic of viewers and to cut down on the number of angry viewers who have the urge of destroying Blogger.com with nuclear bombs - don't do it, my 2 years of blogging will be gone that instant.
Here are various reactions to the hyphen pandemonium:
The background story - Justin had only 2 viewers on TWO days, which for a good blogger like him, is pretty pathethic. Thus, he decided to investigate into the problem and found out that it's all due to the goddamn hyphen in the URL and so to solve this tricky problem, he wanted to change URL.
Much to his dismay, he realised that Justin is a very cool and popular name so idiotic bloggers has already taken much of his domain names.
And surprisingly, khaw.blogspot was FREE from those annoying 5 year old kids who want to try out blogger but never blog for 1272374 centuries (and taking up precious domain names which Blogger doesn't want to remove).
Look at blogger's reply to inactive URLS:
It's damn screwed up, really.
And finding a good domain name that is relevant to you amongst the idiots who taken up your good domain name is half the race done.
The next thing is - HOW TO REDIRECT?!
The normal procedure of redirecting to a new URL is like this:
1) You change your current blog URL to the one you want, so you won't lose your posts.
2) You create a new blog that has your previous URL and you change the template so that it can redirect to your new blog.
BUT GUESS WHAT!
HAHA, NEW BLOGGER (the one that we all use because Blogger forced us to upgrade from old to new) DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO CREATE URL WITH HYPHEN, SO FUN.
So Justin kinda had a same reaction like me, that can be described with the notorious 4 letter word: F**K.
Thoughts of changing to livejournal circulated in our minds (thanks lah Fang Ning, your live journal advertising really power pack already!)
But for my case, I'd have Boon May to thank. (thanks charcoal, you really helped!)
She was the one who actually signed up an old blogger account for me while I was busy modifying my banner and redirecting picture. So, thanks alot CHARCOAL!
And talking about Boon May, I'd have a lot of things to thank her for man:
For example, this sneaky picture taken by her. Don't ask me why I look like I showered - the answer boiled down to my semi transparent 4 year old shirt. Mixed with sweat, it sticks to the body like PVA glue, crazily uncomfortable.
OH and Fang Ning if your reading this, I'm TALLER okay! Cheryl is an evil liar, she lied to you that your taller, HAHA. Don't cry - drink more Ice Mountain, okay?
And this video, oh my, and BM said she wanted to record another on Monday:
It was on me playing netball on Games Carnival.
Responses of me playing netball were hot and varied - including things like "Wow, you play very funny", "You play until very drama", "Your legs can twist 180 degree", "Relax a little, why so kan chiong (rush)?", "Look before you pass, stabilise first", "You should join netball" and "Wah you offsite alot!"
Okay, comments appreciated :D Tomorrow's the semi-finals for Sec 4 Netball and hopefully we'll secure the second if not the first place - but things are gloom, Miss Imee Anra Lim hand conditions has gotten for the worse. Hopefully, I pray, that it'll be okay by tomorrow.
4G is sick, 4J and C (merged team, which is damn unfair) is more sick. Looks like Leon have to drink Red Bull on Monday for the best performance - and hopefully attain the nirvana state of "As Mad As Juk Fen"!
GO 4D! We can do it!

Wan Zhuo - Sorry lah, you too short, I cannot see you not my fault right! And no problem about the Maths thing - Miss Heng was like, damn shocked, when she see me passing YOUR paper to her. You must have scared her off with your BIG (but not as big as mine) eyeballs. OMG. Go sell your eyeballs to Dodo please. And don't worry about your class tee, I'll print one for you that has a logo saying "I HAVE FISHBALLS IN MY EYE SOCKET" on it.
Jet - Don't mind me, I'm very colourist towards Hui Min and Boon May too! And I forgot what hotel the previous batch has - better than ours, actually. Hydroxide is an ALKALINE and because my surname is OH and that's the symbol of HYDROXID so I call myself Leon Hydroxide!
Chee Yang - IS IT! I hope the Principal reads this then - so we could have some justice done yeah? I totally agree with you with the "Diservicing the majority to benefit the minority" theory man. Furama is like, near Little India if I'm not wrong. I'd prefer somewhere near Clarke Quay, hehe, can have some fun while the night is young.
Rina - LOL. You burnt your hair is it? Didn't your teacher teach you never to play with fire. TSK. Never listen in class - how can like that! Yeah I keep seeing Elyssa wearing your red white class tee. It looks like the Secondary Two cohort camp tee, really. And your friends ego also meh? Must be my influence lah, right? :D
Joel - HEHE. I don't use any hosts - my host is actually blogger. I mean, it house all my stuff, JPGs, XML, my HTML. So I don't really have a REAL host. My friend's Melson. He says that your blog skin is very cool. :)
Rachel - HEY DRAMA MAMA PUPPY. Yeah saw you on Thursday, thanks a lot - I'll watch your semi finals too! Hopefully my presence will give the WA more energy to run lah huh, :D. And your jealous because you can't get to see me in formal - yes, I wore formal to Lem's party. LOL.
Imee - Don't worry, I'm more healthy than your unhealthy HAND! Get well soon - we need your play!
Lemuel - Okay, I'll swoop low and stick my face right behind it and take a GOOD LOOK! :P
Hui Min - MISS BIMBO. Long time no talk, your just feeling the POWER OF JEALOUSY. Don't know what it is? Go seek consultation from Ariel or Eileen, your local love doctors! leonthedj is nice but it's a little bit long so I used this one instead. Your URL got a hyphen too! Please change it to huiminthecharcoalbimbowhocannotbalanceoneightinchheels.blogspot!
Clayton - Not fair! Oh well, if my classmate's parent didn't complain I bet we'd get through anyway but it doesn't matter. I like my Class tee all the same :D Go 4D!
Amirul - Okay, like that I use Japanese can or not! Or Taiwan (Taiwan dramas are damnnnn political and violent, it's all about mafia and evil company bosses fighting against one another).
Boon May - HELLO Miss I-Can't-Stand-Sensitive-People! Set lah, I join netball then I become WA, replace Fang Ning, *sinister laughter*. I bet F&N will be more glad that she's out of Netball only! And I don't want to die - If I die, you lose a really good friend who sits in the canteen every morning!
Daniel - DANIEL! I'm breathing now! Breathe, push, breathe push... OKAY. Your baby is a boy, you must be a really glad father right now!
Eileen - Aye negative 5k brain, very long never talk to you already. Heard there's some problems between you people - what's up man! You need to cheer up - which can be done by talking to the best councillor in the world which *cough* is right here :P
Ariel - I'm not funny. I'm retardedly spastically ridiculous - but it makes mermaids turn over their stomachs and giggle till their one united nation divides itself into 6.
Cherie - NO PROBLEM! And eat more buddy, your veins are damn obvious, even more obvious than mine! I recommend eating 3 netballs for breakfast everyday.
Wan Fong - Bla bla black sheep, have you any wool? Oh yeah, I realised Wynne walks the way you do! You know, the way oversized muscles do? :) Must be the result of overtraining!
