i don't think any of them smoke although most of them drink like fish...

if they drink like fish, then most of the guys i know here drink like whales!!! :p
and worse, they're making it a mission to get me to drink more, which is scary...

i know. i really regretted doing it the next day. today is the last day of work before easter. my mates want to have a big night out, but i know indra wants to go somewhere to salsa. so, looks like we'll be going to salsa. at least that way i won't get home at some ungodly hour...

i have front row seat tickets to watch the Australian Football team play Indonesia tonight. so excited. haven't seen a proper football game for a long time and the last time australia played in perth was 10 years ago. shame kewell and viduka won't be here. at least all the other top aussie players will be around...
cool! i'm gearing up for baseball season to start up again. while in phoenix we went to watch a spring training game (cubs vs. oakland a's) and vin has his first practise this saturday. another summer full of getting up early on sunday mornings and going to watch vin play baseball! :D

sila, i've booked flights for indra and myself. she'll be in malaysia from 19/5 to 25/5 - flying into and out of singapore. i'm flying in on 13/5 and same flight out. the problem now is getting to sitiawan and then out of sitiawan...

i won't admit it to vin, but i am definitely getting into baseball. i actually follow the season (even while i am at the client site at nights i will watch baseball while i work) :D but if i admit it to vin, i might have to watch waaaaay to much sports.. ;)

yayyyy!! totally looking forward to seeing you and meeting indra! i can't volunteer any help with the transport, i'm afraid - i am myself dependent on hisham and my parents to get me around (other than taking the bus and that sort of thing)..

hopefully ah jang will be able to help us out, or else we might just have to hire a cab. any idea how much that is going to cost?
i'll have to figure out somewhere to stay in sitiawan too...do you reckon pebs would mind us staying with her?

seems to me a cab would cost more round trip than renting a car and driving it yourself.. i couldn't even guess how much it would cost from KL to sitiawan by cab. i bet ray or siew jin can help cost that for you.
i dunno why pebs would mind but you should check with her lah - or ask her if you should call uncle and aunty hoo see if they mind...
yeah, maybe i should just rent a car in kl for a few days...
or a motorcycle.. :p better not motor cycle lah - i want you and indra alive and well at the wedding...
or a motorcycle.. :p better not motor cycle lah - i want you and indra alive and well at the wedding...
i've just checked on avis malaysia website. it'll cots about RM$750 for 4 days. not too bad. i'll probably fly from singapore to klia on 19/5, pick up the car there, drive to sitiawan, drive back to klia and then fly back to singapore on the 23rd of something like that...indra wants to spend a couple of days in singapore looking around...
the price (if converted) is comparable to what you would pay for a rental car in the US as well..
you know i still have never looked around in singapore!! :D NEVER. just fly through the airport only and looked at it from across the causeway in JB.

i have really gotten into bread baking though - i baked 2 baguettes on friday night and by sunday they were gone (just vin & me eating). so sunday i baked 2 more loaves this time of italian bread in the shape of baguettes.. turned out pretty good even though i thought i botched the batter (kept sticking to the bowl and i added so much extra flour than the recipe prescribed).. but ended up rising very nicely...

Do you know with RM750, what can you buy in KL? Hmm... that was even the cost of my car monthly instalment. RM750 was dem expensive.
Euj, FYI, a cab from KL to S'wan is about RM25 per person if i'm not mistaken cos I have a staff travel to and fro often.
Tentatively, I can still make it for Sila's wedding but if I can't make it (touch wood) :o I don't mind lending you my extra car since I won't be reporting to work yet. (see.. good way to save your RM750)

No problem Euj. Btw, do you know how to get to S'wan if I can't make it? (touch wood, touch wood). Just give me a tinkle or message me early. My memory is still week. Can't remember the dates well :o . Still recovering :o

how are you feeling besides weak?

You will need to drive on the highway for about 1 hr before exiting the Bidor exit. From there, it will be coastal way. I think those sign board is still there. Well, not worry it now. Let's decide when times come.
Not really weak, but my mom make sure I lay down a lot. Too much sit up is bad for the back bone. Anyway, it does make my a$$ sore by sitting too much :o
oh siewjang - you must get plenty of rest. you've been through a lot! :) worry about euj getting to sitiawan later when you are back to normal :D

katie melua is from the uk. writes her own songs. she is amazing. you have to listen to it. i love her song - the closest thing to crazy...and call off the search...
casey chambers is not bad. there so many amazing aussies singers - try jet, little birdy - a WA band and the whitlams - very mellow...
vin is totally into Franz Ferdinand and also listening to a bunch of Steve Earle lately. i will put katie melua and the oz band you recommended on my list :)

well, the party worked out ok. was bored to tears though. all the talk was about kids...
that's usually what happens at a kid's birthday party :)
i dunno i tend to find parties in general pretty boring. it's not like in the old days when you could play musical chairs and stuff and have fun at parties. these days you have to dress nice and go and talk nice and pretend to like the random people at your table..

da world is full of masquarades :crying:
dress nice - how many people (esp girls) actually can't wait 2 party to be over so they can go & wear something more comfy :p
talk nice - yea...all those pretensious compliments, uttered juz 4 the sake of saying the right thing!
pretend to like -after da party, won't be surprised if "bitching session" follows..
so the choice is ours...to be our real-selves & enjoy d party :laugh: ...or to put on a masquarade ourself and join da majority out there :rolleyes:
well lavanya, if it's for work then what to do? swallow it lah - go and make nice to people. it's just for work. other than that, i don't attend anything where i have to be fake lah. if going out with clients, then must be on best behaviour lah - i deal with my clients face to face on a daily basis. if they don't like me, then susah la. not to say i am fake with them - but must be on best behaviour loh. luckily i like my current clients and if i hang out with them they have gotten used to me and my directly honest ways.
for fun, i go and have dinner with my friends, or make dinner for them to come and enjoy. that's what i consider good fun these days. and i don't care if you show up to dinner wearing guni sack oso can - as long as you bring your interesting self with you.. :)

wow, have you got the tickets? who are you supporting for? i was considering getting tickets but a bit pricey... anyway, enjoy your din-din and talk soon... bye!
indra and i have gone in for the draw, so we'll know soon...

How many matches you planning to watch?
i suppose there must be a way to follow a teams progress through the tournament right... as they move from one venue to another?

Definately want to go for the finals... i don't care who plays. My cousin (who's 14 years older than us) actually went for the Mexico 86 finals when he was a student in london. He says it was definately a highlight in his life... and he was an england fan at that.
Hey euj, you may know this cousin of mine... he used to play squash with you those days, was an officer in the navy that time (circa 1989)... he knows you because your dad asked him to play squash with you several times. Fair, bald and slim guy.

Lt. Dil Kumar
so many years ago. can't really remember. i started playing at about nine, so if it was in the early years, i definitely won't remember. i'm sure i'd recognise his face though...

He says it was definately a highlight in his life... and he was an england fan at that.in that case, really should go on board NOW to try to get ticket on the draw...
from what i gather, tickets are available either a) by team of choice or b) by individual tickets based on stadium location...
by the team of choice, you can get:
- group matches only
- group matches + final 16
- group matches + final 16 + quarterfinal
- group matches + final 16 + quarterfinal + semifinal
- group matches + final 16 + quarterfinal + semifinal + final/3rd play off
as the matches progress, if you team lost, your tickets will go to the team that beat your favourite and you'll be reimburse for most of the ticket price minus administrative fees of course....
for opening/closing matches, the tickets are more expensive of course than the regular ones...
would be amazing to go for the world cup...
i have no interest in the world cup (typical girl response, i know). but seems like every professional sport thing i attend i just get injured. at a baseball game one time, a foul ball was hit towards us and this big fat bloke stepped on my foot and crushed me trying to catch the stupid ball!! i was not pleased. neither was the little piggy who cried wee wee wee all the way home - was bruised for WEEKS!! might even have fractured the damn thing.. also got knocked in the head during another game during foul ball scramble. now if a foul ball comes i put my arms around my head and lift up my legs (almost the pose you supposed to assume in the event of a crash landing... coincidence?? i think not!!)

so you're into audience participation! :D

hah!!
btw - i have steadfastly refused to attend a professional american football game. i am NOT sitting in -10C in the snow watching a bunch of guys pound each other to bits trying to get a ball up and down the field... :mad:
baseball, at least it's in the summer and it's warm and sunny (although i have been to colder night games and also have sat in the rain too).
i don't watch any live sports anymore except for cricket...
vin plays baseball in the summer so i go and watch those games that i am in town for. usually means giving up sleeping in on sunday mornings.. but i don't begrudge him that. he has so much fun.. :D
baseball is one game i wish i had the chance to play. maybe i'll try it here. not very popular though. only a small bunch of hardcore enthusiasts play it...
you can come and join vin's team - he loves it! :)
i'd love to if i ever visit you guys. not sure if i'll be able to keep up though. don't even know the rules that well...
if i can pick up the rules, i'm sure you will have no problems there.. :D
when's dinner? how did you manage to cook and forum at the same time?
how's your week been, by the way? plans for the weekend?
dinner late - vin ate a late lunch and i had a snack earlier since i was starving (i ate my lunch at 12 noon and usually by 7:30 i need a snack or i die of hunger). we are actually eating leftovers :o - i cooked this on sunday and vin likes me to make big meals so he has leftovers to eat through the week. so tonight we are eating leftovers.
leftovers from sunday! wow, i don't dare keep my leftovers for more than 3 or 4 days...and i never reheat any food more than once.
i know, i've said this before, but i can't wait for your wedding. it'll be so special to see the first of our bunch getting married.

wah, so fortunate to have a maid...i only know a few people here who have maids and they are all multi-millionaires!
aiya vc - if like that i cannot keep up lah. my own two hands to do everything although vin helps with the cleanup.
we have a really cool fridge that keeps the food very fresh (our big splurge for the house). and this is the limit lah - not longer than this. tomorrow i have to plan meals for next week. :D

with my new favorite toy, i made cuban bread last week:

it actually wasn't as pretty because i forgot to slash a big x at the top of each loaf - otherwise it would be much prettier.. :o
yeah, i remember seeing that. it looks really cool. i don't think i would be able to squeeze that into my kitchen. i've gone for small places to live over the years.
today i made "feather bread" baguettes.
this is the Before Baking picture (but after rising, right before putting in the oven)

wow, looks amazing. you won't be able to make these bread in malaysia, will you?
Sila, I think I will get the mixer for my wife as a Birthday present in June. Any recommendation as to the type of mixer?
KitchenAid all the way, vc. it will last a lifetime, plus got lifetime guarantee so they will fix stuff. also i would suggest a stand mixer - then you have hands free to run around the kitchen measuring/etc. while the thing goes on its own. depends on what you expect to do with it - if just normal cakes/cookies, then a 5-quart, 300-350 watt stand mixer is fine. if you are thinking of doing breads (it will knead the bread with a dough hook) you need a 525-watt mixer. mine is a 6-quart bowl. the reason why you need such a high wattage is because it works really hard to knead the bread dough - no need to knead by hand after that. the little engines get overheated and may short out. the 525 watter can handle doing 2 loaves in one go, without any problems. even so, if you put your hand on it after it is done kneading, it's quite hot. can't imagine how the smaller wattage ones handle that...
wow, looks amazing. you won't be able to make these bread in malaysia, will you?
oh sorry euj - not in malaysia unless you are volunteering to be the kneader :p. hard work kneading lah - i tried that before. seriously i think i flavored the bread more with my sweat than with salt from the salt shaker...
Kesian!
not bad lah - i actually love doing it. i get my kicks playing in the kitchen - makes me feel grown up. of course i realise i think it's fun because i don't have to do it every day!! :D

yucks... probably added some flavor from the dirt under you nails too??? :D
that sort of machine would be wasted on me. i hardly ever eat breads, pastries or sweets nowadays. i try to stay away from carbs. i find that helps me the best with my weight control...

haha...i don't know whether to laugh or be grossed out...
that guy in sitiawan who sells the chicken rice...what's that place called. used to be next to ala gourmet. his chicken rice was the best cos his nails where all black underneath. when i last tried it a couple of years ago, not so nice anymore. his nails were all clean!
yucks... probably added some flavor from the dirt under you nails too??? :D
hehehe i wash my hands very clean lah, plus my nails very short one.. no it was all sweat dripping off my forehead. so now with my new toy, no more sweat in the bread dough!! :D
haha...i don't know whether to laugh or be grossed out...
it was quite a workout. i didn't do that more than once - man, i was so tired from making bread that i didn't even enjoy eating it. :( (not to mention the grossness of sweat in the dough)
hehehe i wash my hands very clean lah, plus my nails very short one.. no it was all sweat dripping off my forehead. so now with my new toy, no more sweat in the bread dough!! :D
so your bread now doesn't taste as good lah!

i haven't ventured into whole grain breads yet - thought i should experiment first and make sure i understand and know what's going on before i deal with grains that are less processed and more complicated...
so your bread now doesn't taste as good lah!
hahahaha :laugh: according to your logic, then no. but vin's not complaining.. :D
i'm taking indra shopping later today. have a surprise for her...
what's the surprise?? you can tell us, right? :smile-2:
i'm going to spend 500 bucks on her to buy clothes...

sila, maybe you should come back and start a confectionary business :) who knows your business will be the next gardenia... :)

goddamn!!! nice! :) you are a very good boyfriend, dude. does she reciprocate and do nice things for you too?
aw, thanks sila.
of course she does. i was so tired last night, so even though i usually cook, she came over to my place and cooked dinner for me and then washed up too. plus, my dogs stay at her place. she's a lovely girl. you guys will love her when you get to meet her...
i'm planning to get her a nice grey suit and a nice white cotton long sleeve shirt for work. something simple that she can chop and change and use at work and outside of work. she starts at her new job on tuesday.

hahaha could be, could be. i make a mean chocolate cake that is very much requested if i'm home during raya... :D but i think the minute it becomes work and not fun experiments i do as a hobby, sure lose interest one.. i just enjoy playing in the kitchen and having ppl try out the food. it's a social thing..
same here. i love cooking, but i think if i ever ran a restaurant, i'd lose the love real fast...

i'm sooo looking forward to meeting her and of course hanging out with you!! :D
new job? at a new workplace, but still doing law (what branch again? i forget), right?
well, she was doing IP law and lecturing law at a local uni. now she'll still be lecturing a bit and also going to another firm to do M & A.

i'm just a bit peckish. i had mi maggi kari and egg for a snack at 7:30. i will just have a bit to teman vin. his eating schedule is messed up because he ate his lunch at 5 PM :)
better go. i have to do some chores before i meet indra. clean up the apartment, do some laundry, wash the dishes, take a shower...
lunch at 5? now that's extreme eating!
bye sila. pass my regards to vin.
well, if you own the place and hire a few hands, you can continue testing out new recipes...
that's a good idea... :D waaaah belum apa-apa already thinking of expansion and lepas tangan to employees?? :D
i will continue experimenting so i get a good variety before i think of opening a bakery lah. but you are welcome to come and try anything at any time, boss, k?

full day of class - he only had a granola bar at 11 AM. he does that sometimes - too much to do or something.. it makes me mad! because then he's just STARVING at 5, and absolutely not hungry at a normal dinner time. not to mention the fact that he goes long time without eating - usually he packs a lunch but today apparently we had nothing but granola bars. no yogurt, no more bread for sandwiches. what to do? :)
gotta go! dinner's on the table (vin served) :D
