and that is how i end up sitting in front of the computer on a slow sunday afternoon.
i have been tossing around for 1 hour but all i could hear were the chirps and chirps and more chirps. i wish i could be in my brother's position now. he is sleeping on the double decker bed beside this desk i am typing on.
so the lesson- don't sleep in your room in the afternoon. move to your brother's where it is quieter. but that only applies in the afternoon. because in the morning, the birds will come to his room instead of mine. well, it is a fair world.
now let's move to food....weekend does not usually equate to food, but somehow this one does.
went to ipoh on friday to watch toy story 3 and i really enjoyed it. the story was so touching especially at the end and of course my trip was made more fun since i did not even have to pay a cent. it was sort of an early birthday celebration from quin to me. so thank you for the movie and meals.
had dinner at sushi king and we were both filled to the brim. i think that is the case usually when you go to a japanese restaurant because the food displayed is usually so attractive that you can't stop ordering when you look at the menu. only when all the food arrives do you realise how small your stomach has become.
another box of sushi take-away??? nope, it is donashi from big apple donut. donuts in sushi like appearance. every piece of donashi has different filling inside. i love the ones with chocolate filling as they are not as creamy as the other fillings. only dad and i are fans, so naturally i ate a lot.saturday- more carbs.
a kid from kalumpang bought more than ten paus with char siew filling from a popular stall in the small sleep town. i first read about the pau from the newspaper during the hulu selangor by-election time. his mom paid for the paus. the famous filling is not this one but vegetable curry. unfortunately, they were all sold out and only this was left. other fillings include red bean and kaya. the dough is not bad as they do not get stuck in your teeth. dad told me to give the skin to beanie but i told him it was my favourite part instead and i hentam the whole thing. dirty? not so lah.that was tea. now supper which happened to be at 11p.m. while the football match between uruguay and south korea was taking place on tv1.
mom helped wei to tapau this packet of hokkien style noodles from leung kei when she went out to eat with her friends. and i of course being the good sister who would not let my brother put on 2 extra inches on his waist helped him to finish a quarter of the packet. ;P one plate of noodles there has increased to rm8 now. expensive. even the cook's sister complains about the portion being served. so if you want to get bigger portion, go early before 7.30 when the sister will cook instead.i finished watching the match with wei and both of us were disappointed that korea lost. we are going to root for another asian team- japan. the hope is still there.
today- no picture of food because when i thought of taking the picture, i realised there is no more left to take. it is supposed to be apam balik. yummy. tough on the outside and soft on the inside.
so i have this to show instead:
grandpa having his hair cut. wei specially fetched the indian barber from his shop to come to our house because it will be inconvenient for grandpa to go there. grandpa is getting more feeble in his movements. he is reaching 90 soon. you pay rm8 for the cut at the shop. here, the barber charges rm10. reasonable lah. i think grandpa added a few more ringgits as tips for him. it will be another 3 months when the barber make his next visit to the house.last but not least- will i be too narcissistic if i say let's countdown to my birthday now??? i can't help it. i have received by birthday present and birthday treat already.
and yesterday, a card arrived from my siblings and brother-in-law in australia. they always make their presence felt on my special day. thank you guys.
yes, a great reason to celebrate the coming of the double 3. it will be a year of doubles. i have 2 doubles in my birth date. i also have 1 set of double in my birth time. and i am turning double 3.what song do you think is played when i opened the card?? click on the clip above and you will know.
what a weekend. hope this coming week will be smooth sailing as well despite all the workload and deadlines i have to meet. my head is organising and visualising my schedules. so far all that come are positive. no plan is failing in the head. always the optimist.
and by the way, someone asks, 'do you want a surprise birthday party or a planned one?' what would you answer if you were me?? i mean, is this the right question to ask in the first place? this definitely comes from amateur planners. well, my answer- just make me happy.
