世上只有妈妈好
shi shang zhi you ma ma hao有妈的孩子像个宝
you ma di hai zi xiang ge baoOnly mom is the best in this world
A child with a mother is like a piece of treasureA traditional hymn sung to children
Mom and dad are leaving for China tonight for 2 weeks. Which means I gotta fend for myself at dinner time till they get back. I got my menu planned already:
- Spaghetti Bolognese
- Tuna Pasta
- Lasagne
- Chicken and Mushroom Marinara
- Chicken Porridge
- Fish Porridge
- Pork Porridge
- … and your assorted junk food - McD, HJs (BK), KFC, Nandos, Chicken Treat/Red Rooster, Fish-n-Chips
Plus lotsa red wine and beer. Wooo, it’s gonna be soooo healthy. NOT.
You just got a glimpse into how I eat if I have to cook myself. Simple fares using pre-made sauces from the supermarket (the Italian dishes), quick-to-cook (the porridges), and for when I just can’t be arsed (the junk food). It’d be great cos my cousin lives with me and cooking is infinitely more enjoyable when there’s company.

Your planned menu sounds good to me. Can’t go wrong with simple + some junk. I get lazy to cook for myself. Luckily my partner loves cooking :-P. When she was away for four days in summer and I was starting out in a new job and working long days I knew I wouldn’t be bothered cooking when I got home, so the first evening she was gone, I ordered $40 worth of chinese home delivery food and that was enough for dinner for all the nights she was gone! Hahaha!
tfp: wahahahah…$40 worth of takeaway food on the first night! Classic. And don’t forget the mantra of all bachelors: freeze it.
mooiness, that’s a lot of pasta and porridge you’re going to be eating. Good to see you will supplement with fast food. Food groups are important.
anna: ahahhah…..yes I’m alternating it so hopefully I won’t get sick of either at the end of the 2 weeks.
And yes gotta love the junk food - why is everything bad for you tastes so gooooood?
hmm… that hymn sounds so familiar. I think they used it in some Nespray-type milk ad once in Singapore and Malaysia…
You could always try microwave dinners if you’re lazy… hehehe
starry: yeah it is a very common hymn so it won’t be surprising if they used it in an ad.
Nope - do not like microwave dinners at all. They don’t taste good and they are actually quite expensive for the amount that you get. I rather cook myself.
