Balsamic vinegar adds shine and flavour to your dinner, but we're jumping ahead too far. Here are the ingredients for your steak meal.

1 lb. skirt steak (I love it because it's cheap and a little goes a long way!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 & 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake

To make marinade, melt butter in a medium saucepan under medium high heat. Add shallots and garlic and saute until they soften, about 3 to 5 minutes or so.

Add balsamic vinegar to saucepan and bring to a slow boil. When at a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and let reduce for about 15 minutes. The sauce will be slightly thickened. Add sugar, chicken stock, soy sauce, and sake. Bring to another boil.

Let mixture cool to room temperature and reserve a 1/4 cup of the liquid for finished steak.

Place skirt steak into large glass baking dish and cover with remaining marinade liquid. Cover dish with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for about 2 hours. Also place the reserved marinade in the fridge while the meat is marinating.

Prior to cooking steak, drain marinade and pat steak dry. Cut skirt steak into desired size.

Heat large skillet under medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add 2 steaks at a time and cook to your liking (I had a nice medium rare, at about 4-5 minutes per side). Let steaks rest on cutting board for about 5-7 minutes before slicing against the grain. While the steak is resting, you can heat up the reserved marinade. Just bring to a simmer until mixture is heated through.

Serve with a bed of fresh vegetables (we had some zucchini and carrots that really made the dish quite colorful!) and top with reserved marinade (that you didn't marinate the meat in).

Stucked in a RUT

It is difficult to admit to myself that im stuck in rut, in the sense of sitting infront of the pc all the time playing games and chilling out. I've quit my job for thinking of a better future for myself with something that i could managed on my own. But after 2 weeks of slacking off, lazy bones started to kicked in, i wondering how can i kick start the engine and get things going again for me.

The Space Between

Here i am again at the brink of mental breakdown........
Being Rich And Unemployed

loving you

无所谓

无所谓， 放弃后悔，

爱情来来去去，

没有是非错对，

情已飞。


珍重后不会再相会，

偶尔有一点思念，

在夜里点缀。


无所谓， 谁会是谁，

靠一靠我胸膛，

温暖片刻沉醉，

梦迷醉。


缠绵是弹落的烟灰，

解脱我些许幻想，

好抽离出寂寞的包围，

有时很美，有时很累。


谁再给我伤害我无所谓，

没有快乐， 没有安慰，

情到深处怎能无所谓。

Nearly Kena but Aiyahh!

I think the Ticket explains itself... KNNCCB!!!
Should have bought the 24 combinations..... only if i knew i would be RM500 Richer...

Wasted Years

Slow is the memory
I can picture her standing right in front of me
Orange blossoms crushed by concrete
I walk around with barefeet
And I know you want me
Can't remember everything
Her skin it tastes like sugar cane
And I had already gotten there before I came
My tank is empty
And I know you're thirsty
I have already tried to explain myself
It's not that I love someone else
But I can't bear to listen to you cry
I'm sick of all these wasted years
A rag for someone else's tears
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry
And I'll see you when I get back
Maybe we can get ourselves back on the right track
You touch me there because you know how much I like that
I think that we will need to relax
And I know you want me
All the time and everywhere
A happy surface but the underbelly isn't there
And the worst thing is that I don't even really care
And the emptiness is too much to bear
C'mon C'mon
Get off the phone
Please come home
It's been so lonely since you've been gone
you won't surround me
up and down me
Be all around me
Baby I can't breathe no more
