My Conchiglie Prawn Pasta

First you need pasta like the fist image. It is called Conchiglie. It comes in a few sizes. Get the medium size. Cook it in boiling water with a pinch of salt for 8 min.


Next chop some garlic, mushrooms and coriander.


By then the pasta is cooked. So drain away the water and run it through a cold running water. Then add some extra virgin olive oil and mix well so that the pasta do not stick to each other. Now it is time to chop broccoli to cubes.


You’ll need prawns too. Get either big or medium size prawns. Peal and devein. For you guys and gals who do not know how to devein, do a Google okie? So here you have pasta, garlic, mushrooms, broccoli, coriander and prawns. Keep to the side first.


Now heat up a pan with extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic. Add prawn next.


Add the mushrooms and a bit of mix herbs. You can find mix herbs is supermarkets like Giant. Then you add a bit of water and mix well.


Add a bit of chili flakes. A bit will do. Followed by black pepper and sea salt to taste.


Add some parsley flakes then stir. You can also find parsley flakes in supermakets. Add the broccoli and stir. Then dump the whole pasta in.


Add a bit of extra virgin olive oil if it is to dry. Then add half of the coriander in. Stir for a few min untill all is mix well.


Pour contents into a plate. Sprinkle some powdered parmesan cheese on top centre. Then use the balance of the coriander to decorate.


Ah… Finally, it smells so nice! It is easy to make, fast (if you buy peeled prawns), and it is healthy too. Now, you can look at this picture while I’m going enjoy this in front of the TV. Hehe…

I Thought I Lost A Friend

Two days ago, I thought I lost a friend. I have never meet her nor spoke to her before but she is important to me. I was having my dinner and was half watching the TV. I was the news hour but in chinese, A language I sucks at. There was a sceen where they show a bus overturn and a Korean guy died and the bus driver have escaped. As of today the police have yet to find him. Anyway, after the clip, they show another accident but this time it is a car. The car is a red Honda. I know it is a Honda cause I can see a silver square and a "H" in it. The car is smashed to pieces. There is no sign of a body. I guess the ambulance have took it out of the car but I remember myself thinking "Ahyo, surely die one" cause I can't imagine anyone survive that kina of crash. All this while the reporter is speaking in chinese and then suddenly, I heard my friend's name mention!! I was like going "No! No! No! They show the car again and sure enough it is a Honda. I remember my friend told me she drove a Honda. Well, the car I am looking at is smashed beyond recognition.

I was at a loss for a moment. Is it my friend? The name is correct, the car is the same brand. I dont have her number so what could I do? I called up another friend of mine to tell her what happen. She told me it can't be, it must have been a mistake. Well that does not sounds convincing. I check my email. She usally will email me everyday. No mail from her today!

The whole night I cant sleep. I would be awake with my eyes close. Then I would get up and stand by the window looking at KLCC in the far distance and keep on saying "No! No! No!. The night eventually turns to light. I still check my email to see if she email me every 1-2 hours. None! It has been stressfull for me not knowing if she is ok. Eventually, I drag myself to office. Log on and she still did not reply. So I decided to message two of her friends to findout. It's a long shot seeing that I've never spoken to them before, I do not know if they will respond. Luckly between two hours, I got reply from both. Both confirm that my friend is alive and well!! OMG!! what a relieve!

I am sure I've just developed high blood pressure in one day. Though I am happy for my friend's life, I can't say the same for the victim of the crash. I wish nobody did die but someone did. Someone with my friends name.
