Ok this is going to be a good one! For the 1st time in my life I recieved the thumbs up for my culinary skillz. The story goes like this...yesterday, through milo's brain child of having an iron chef competition, I was given the chance to cook since a long time. We were split into 2 teams from drawing random lots. I paired up with milo and scb paired up with da jie. The theme ingredient: Eggs! Of course to be fair, both teams recieved the details 1 day prior to the competition so that we can prepare to go out guns-a-blazing for the challenge. Of course for me I had to rush down to eastpoint after work to meet up the gang to shop for groceries for the competition. Tension was rife the moment both teams were armed with a hand basket. We split up in NTUC scouring for the secret ingredients to make our master piece.

Headed back to scb's place all stocked up but too early to begin preparing. Played a few rounds of poker with $ for the 1st time in my life and fortunately emerged with some winnings. Ok the time has come for both teams to pit their skillz against each other. Milo and I decided on a simple yet tasty fare: Egg stuffed Tuna served with a side of Roast Chicken Spaghetti in Special sauce! The ladies tried a tough dish of fried handmade dumplings, meatballs and Oatmeal Prawn. Both teams were pretty civil with each other until a can of tuna went missing...accusations and brandishing of choppers started taking place...in the end we had to beg for a can of tuna that mysteriously looks like the one we bought found in the drawer. Both teams finished cooking in about 90min...not bad for a shared kitchen. The remaining 2 judges arrived...Caline and Jason. Zen and Aunty were already salivating while waiting for the 2 to come. 4 judges stands between both teams and the Iron Chef title...

To start, ours looked pretty average compared to the ladies' dishes. I have to admit our appearance did not look as appetising as the ladies' but true our creativity and taste we emerged as the victors!! The Iron Chefs!!...i'm very sure it will be disputed till the next round but let us have this moment. Thx! Celebrated Zen's birthday by looking at him voluntarily smear cake on his face...nice! Happy Birthday Zen!...Played more poker, this time without $ and bankrupted twice followed by milo and we both had to forfiet...end of story dun probe further. What happens in the room stays in the room...

Concluded the night with a movie at TM...last movie there was "Wet Dreams 2" like eons ago and now its "Alone". Not really eerie but its pretty shocking and amusing to see how my movie dates have developed their own anti-scare method. Nice one guys!

The Award winning dish...ours of course

Dear Joyce...a cucumber is green and is meant to be kept in the fridge and a carrot is orange also meant to be kept in the fridge...a cucumber is not a carrot and likewise a carrot is not a cucumber...till the next showdown! Muahuhauha
