Puff Pastry Frenzy!

Another week has gone!
They do go quickly, don't they?
Well, update for the week:

I've tried to check on The Mews(for the part time seamstress job) last Monday, but it was shut. I guess the boss is still on her holiday. =/
So I'm going to try again tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Don't know what happen to me, but I've been going crazy on puff pastry with Chicken Curry.
On Tuesday, I went over to James' and made Chicken Curry Pie! =D

Tadaa~~
Chicken Curry Pie with our initial on top, not very clear in this picture. hehe!

The curry paste I used was good! Deli Cafe Chicken Curry paste, highly recommended!

Mr. Fromage trying out his toffee apple! LOL~
They didn't work out in the end as the recipe he made was more like caramel than toffee. Haha!

Here comes my Sunday treat!
Chicken Curry Puffs, the cheating way. =D
Using puff pastry and baked instead of fried.
They turn out quite good and this batch of curry puffs have green peas in them!
Green peas just work so well with the chicken and potatoes. =)

Have quite a number of 'buka mulut' ones as I didn't seal the edge properly.

Love 'em all~!


To Mum and Dad,
It was really nice talking to you guys earlier.
Hopefully I'll be able to put my plan into action soon.
Love you all!

Sorry, I'm late!

So sorry for not been able to blog.
I've been busy busy and also keeping myself fit! =D

Last 2 weeks been really good weeks(besides the weather being terrible).
First of all,
I'm officially 23!
It was a good one this year,
I've got presents from housemates, colleagues and a surprise from James.
I was really happy on my birthday! =D
It all started as he will be busy making his 0117 film competition so he wouldn't have time to celebrate with me, so we had to do it the next day.
But after I finished work on that day, I went to pick up my keys from him and I were told to be ready to go out at half 6. =D
He surprised me by taking me out for a meal, it was a very filling chinese meal.
And we head home and he sang me a birthday song and I cut my homemade birthday cake.
Just the 2 of us in the kitchen, munching away and drinking lemonade with orange juice. hehe~

Secondly,
I was invited to a Garden BBQ Party last Sunday.
It was one of the best BBQ party I've ever been to. The host, Yvonne, I just met her not more than 1 month, she is such a lovely person. She came to pick me up and we went off to Sainsbury's to get more food for the BBQ. When we were in Sainsbury's, it just reminds me so much of shopping with mum. Helping out to get stuff from different aisle, pushing the trolley, carrying the bags. It's just felt really nice to be able to go shopping like this again.
I didn't manage to take any pictures of the BBQ as I left my camera inside. =(
We were really lucky to have the weather on our side and the food was delicious, so as the company. I manage to promote my freelance seamstress job and got a few on hand from Yvonne. =)

Thirdly,
James didn't got his through his 1st interview and finally moving into his new flat.
He picked the smallest room which is a good thing as smaller room cheaper rent. He was quite upset about not getting the job and we had a little bit of row. We talked things through and it's all good now. Just needs more positive vibe from both ends. =)

Fourthly,
I've been thinking about quiting my job, I really mean seriously thinking about it. This whole week we had customers coming in to complain and getting a go on me. These customers are slowly turning into jokes, just that sometimes these jokes do offend me. Hmmm... And from time to time I was left to deal with these jokes by myself. Sigh...
I've been talking to Fiona about it, she had been really supportive and thought that I should give it a go if I could cope with my financial situation. On the other end, I am a bit freaked out and unsure wether I'll be able to cope or not. I've also spoke to Yvonne about it and she said it could actually work out if go on and start a business doing alterations/dressmaking. Yvonne is also very supportive and she shows lots of encouragement. But somehow, I felt like I'm wondering on a fork road, I knew which way to go but just don't have the guts to make the first move. =/
I need a little PUSH!

Finally,
I was invited by Yvonne for dinner at hers today. And today, she invited James as well. It was really funny going over to hers, it felt like meeting the parents. Both of us was standing outside making sure we're both properly dressed and presentable on her doorsteps. lol!
Her husband came to get the door and invited us in. Yvonne greeted us and we were introduced to her brother, Oscar, her nephew, Kenneth and his 2 kids.
Tonight's dinner was wonderful, we had 8 people sitting on a round table. It's just like a proper family meal, I just miss that so so much. We had salmon, chicken curry, sweetcorn patty, broccoli and cauliflower with mushroom and the yummy cakes from Valerie Patisserie. Lucky me!
Yvonne's place is always so accommodating and somehow it felt like a place close to home. =)
I'm very grateful to get to know such a wonderful person.

Right, time for me to go to bed and get all ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow might be the day I'll find out my move on the fork road.
I'll be marching on to the Bridal House and ask about the job!
From then I'll know what I have to do.
WISH ME LUCK!

Loads of love,
Sabrina
