Day 350 of 365: Gado Gado

So i got word from my boss that i can apply for a full-time position at the clinic. That is awesome news! With that, i could help Dad with some of the financial load. With this, i could support my family for the time being and hopefully still be able to move on from this. The only thing i worry about is the possible benefits that i could get from working with the city long term. Either way, this is good experience and i need the job like NOW!

After a quick, free and unexpected lunch at work, i headed out to get some groceries for tonight's dinner. i have a meeting with Annie and the wedding party and i wanted to make something good. What i decided to make was laksa. With only 5 boxes left, i needed to make a dish to accompany the laksa. It was unsettling for me to think that i don't have enough laksa and even worse when i don't have the right noodles. i almost changed the menu, but decided to stick to it. Next time, i'll make something that i know i can make in abundance.

Most of my day was grocery shopping and cooking. Towards the late afternoon, i made a quick trip to Sunset Super to get vegetables for an Indonesian salad called 'Gado Gado'. It was something that i made before, but i took a risk to make this again. Why? i thought the first time was a fail. This time, the dressing sauce came out better. Not perfect, but better.

The meeting went well, if not quiet. For some reason, not a lot of them are very talkative. Beats me of why it is so, but i hope that as the day goes closer, they'll get more comfortable.
