friendship..twinkle twinkle little stars

we had a good bargain at Otago farmer market this morning. Both of us bought mainly seafood, a big squid cost 4 dollar, 2 crabs cost 3 dollar and my favourite red cod cost me 3 dollar. I bought 1 kg of pearls, a box soya bean milk, 2 toufus.. that's all for today. I feel comfortable making friend with my vietnamese flatmate.. She is so genuine and sincere. Is hard to desribe, but I can feel her sincerity though. But sad to say, good time always not lasting longer. She gonna move out from our flat end of this year due to one year renting contract expired. I know I am going to miss her .. miss her sincerity and her accompanionship ~ go to morning market, go to botanical garden, have a chit-chat in the flat, gardening and sharing planting information ..and bla bla bla.

This afternoon, I cooked red bean soup and shared with my flatmate and my friend. My vietnamese flatmate said the red bean soup was nice and I asked her whether she has this dessert back to her hometown~Saigon, she said no, this is the first time she had tasted. Then, another friend called me up and said she finished the whole bowl of red bean soup after I left her house. hahaha.. I feel happy that at least I can have some food that I cook to share with someone. >p. One thing that make me feel so warm is she called me and said she wanna visit me so as she can cook the chicken curry for me in my flat. She knows me well, she keep asking me why I have those curry powder ingredients, but I still don't want to cook chicken curry.. I told her cooking chicken curry is too complicated to me. So, I always cook very very simple meal for myself. I think that's is the reason she volunteered to come to my flat and cook for me. I feel so warm but ashamed of myself...

Just now I had my dinner and I really appreciate the every single piece of chicken, potato and the curry gravy... ate with 100% satisfaction and you know why? This dish was cooked with friendship ingredients. Trust me ...
