Sorethroat in progress

Sianz, I'm currently developing a sorethroat... it started last night I think, when my throat started feeling parched and dry, despite my more-frequent-than-normal drinking of water. Well, hopefully my early treatment using Trachisan lozenges will help alleviate the pain and suppress the sorethroat before it has the chance to manifest itself fully.

Oh yar, I tried cooking spaghetti again for lunch yesterday. Erm, not a very successful attempt. I think I cooked too much noodles... and the noodles were a little too dry. The carrots were undercooked. I shall boil them for a longer time on my next attempt, since I still have more spaghetti. The broccoli could do with a little more boiling as well.

Hmmm, woke up in the early afternoon today... didn't really want to wake up since it was raining and the weather was so condusive for sleeping. Nice to snuggle in bed. Heh. Argh, just remembered... I've got a ktv gathering this Thursday... how to go with a sorethroat :/ Maybe just go there listen to my friends sing... ah, but that's so disappointing.

Returned two books that I borrowed from the library but didn't really have time to read. A friend and I went over to the nearby hawker centre to eat the 锅贴. Nice. Heh. I was first introduced to it less than a month ago. Shall go there and eat once in a while from now on. Enjoy life leh, just sit there and savour the 锅贴s and chat.

Anyway, came home, waited for dinner, had dinner, then ate an additional nonya dumpling. I think channel 8's 同心圆 is getting more and more dramatic. Sometimes I really cannot stand watching Yvonne Lim's character in the show... so super scheming loh -.-" Well, not that I have the chance to watch it everyday though.

Hmmm, there were quite a large number of FLASHbox applications over the weekend. I managed to find out why. I think tag-board.com was down over the weekend. It's up now. When it was down, some people switched to using my FLASHbox I guess. It could be a temporary measure for them, since I've seen a few negative comments on the FLASHbox. Of course, there are more positive comments though. Heh :P There are about 840 subcribers at the moment... My initial goal was to reach 1000 by the end of the year. I guess I can now try for 2000 le. I'm worried about the amount of diskspace that the FLASHbox database is using though. It has already reached 3MB, which is quite large considering it's all just text. I'll need to come up with something to clear the database soon. Perhaps during the semester ba.

Okie, I should try to sleep early and wake up early tomorrow to get my stuff done.

How can it be undercooked? Must be your carrot and broccoli too big! See my broccoli cut so small one. Did you know that adding salt to the water raises the boiling point, hence cooks faster? 2 min is enough if it is really boiling.

As for serving size, a bunch of spaghetti of a 2cm diameter is more than sufficient for a guy. 1.5cm if you eat less.
