My favourite food

My favourite food is a local delicacy that is rather famous in Singapore...its, CURRY CHICKEN!!!!!!!! Mmmm...curry chicken...anyways, these are the ingredients which actually are quite gross BUT when put together, makes a delicious concoction. The taste of that sweet yet ever so spicy gravy and chicken is so magnificient to the human toungue. Or at least my tongue. I am pretty sure that this dish is one of the most popular dishes in Singapore as every where you go you are bound to find this famous delicacy. Be it a mere restaurant or a famous coffee-shop. My mother makes the perfect Curry chicken as it is so rich in flavour and if you concentrate hard enough you can taste all the wonderful flavours of the coconut, the curry powder, all the different spices and of course, the essential, curry leaf that is freshly grown in my garden. Once you have sampled this dish, even your escargot and even the famous Singapore Chilli Crab is second to this. Have i tempted you enough? Go now. Cook this dish and spread the word.

1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
2 potatoes
1 red onion
2 tablespoons oil for stir-frying
2 tablespoons curry paste (traditional Indian yellow curry paste is best)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup long-grained rice
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, or to taste
I’m not going into details about the cooking steps but if you want to try cooking this, you can go to this website (http://chinesefood.about.com/od/poultryrecad/r/currychicken.htm) as I took the ingredients from there. Well, I’m going to end here as I have to go modify my RC car motor to a Kyosho brushless 22T rotary motor . Well, goodbye!

a letter to my former teacher

Dear Mrs Yeo,

How are you recently? Seeing you in the library the other day con firmed some of my thoughts that you are recovering well. Many events have been happening in school that I’m sure you have been told about by the teachers. So, here’s my review of the events.
Firstly, the Shanghai-Singapore twinning had their incoming trip as we had gone there last November. I was involved in the programme as I had signed up for it. The Shanghai students were to stay with us in our houses and try to immerse themselves in a typical Singaporean lifestyle. Although there are some things that China Chinese do that are very unhygienic like not brushing teeth for four days in a row, this is not a complaining session and I shall not gloat over their problems.
While the Shanghai students were here, they were requested to put up a performance during the Chinese New Year concert. A girl played the violin and a latter performance was by a boy doing a solo singing set. They both put up a very good show. Some cheeky students from Kent Ridge even went up on stage in the midst of the boy’s song to present gifts to him. There were other performances also put up by the dance, drama club, choir and of course, our band.
Recently, we’ve also had our first round of common tests. I found them difficult as I really did’nt understand chemistry, maths and physics. So I plan to have a daily schedule for revision so as to improve my grades.
A lot of events have been happening recently so I really hope that you will come back to the Kent Ridge family. We really miss you and I personally hope you will recover soon. A lot of your tips in English summary has really helped me. So I am looking forward to you teaching again. See you soon…

Sincerely,
Charles Theseira
