True Thing About Goodbye

True goodbyes are the ones never said or explained.

I've experienced this and it makes me thinking and thinking and thinking about the person even more and it's unpleasant!

True?

Roast Pork (with crackling of course)

My parents was here in Sydney for 3 weeks, and how enjoyable it was when they were here.
It makes me realise even more how they love me and how I love them. :)

Today I just want to share one of the dish I made for them, roasted pork leg. They enjoyed it very much, yay! 



Roast Pork

2kg of Boneless Pork Leg
Herbs (I used thyme and sage this time)
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper

Method:
1. Preheat oven 220°C/425°F
2. Score the rind of the pork, I criss-crossed it, but one line scoring will look good too. 
3. Pat dry your pork using paper towel. 
4. Rub the salt and pepper all over, especially salt on and in the rind, to ensure you get the crackling crackle :) .
p.s. For a better result, do these hours before roasting (ideally overnight), put in the fridge uncovered. The salt will absorb all the water out from the pork, ensuring a success crackling. 
5. I like to also tuck in some herb in between the scoring, so you can do that too.. 
6. Drizzle olive oil all over
7. In a baking dish, make a herb bed and put your pork on top of it. 
8. Put it in the oven skin side up for 20 minutes at 220°C.
9. Take the temp down to 170°C for 1 hour
10. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
11. Slice, serve and attack! 

I served this with roast veggies; zucchini, baby carrot, yellow and red capsicum, garlic, potato. Just cut them into chunks, mix with salt, pepper, herbs, olive oil and give them a good shake. 

There will be some good amount of oil after roasting, do not throw it away. It's like gold for your stir fries or veggies roasting next time.

Scary World We Live In

The world is so scary
The people in it are..

You'll never know what one thinks, and you'll never know whether they are taking advantage of you or not.

What you know is at the end of the day, there's a pain in your heart and it won't go.

I'm scared....

W. Mitty

Hello!

It was raining when I fell asleep. Hard.
I think I had a very good sleep.. Took all my tiredness away. Hehe..

I watched Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I loved it!
The way it's written and directed *talking like a movie expert lol* is just great.
Well I guess a lot of people can relate to the character, Walter Mitty. The zone-out part, the crazy imaginations part.. The shyness, the needed of courage.. adventure.. and just go-out-there-and-do-it..

Watch it! It inspires.

One other thing, I think Ben Stiller is cute. Groom or ungroom, haha..

Heart Broken

I was a first timer. I hadn't ever felt broken hearted before. I didn't quite understand what does it mean by as if the world's going to end, how you couldn't eat, sleep, or focus the most hours when you're awake.

It wasn't pleasant, it's sickening.

I guess, what you think is best needs to be done.. And I've done it. Well me and (now) TWXB have. As the quote says, "if you really love that person. Learn to wait. Maybe you're not meant to be together for today but in the future."

I don't know how many sorrys and thank yous should I be given to TWXB. And I truly, deeply wish him all the best of the very best.
