Yes, as corny as it sounds, I’m off for my long-needed break in London. Will not have Net access I reckon, thus updates will resume only when I get back second week of October.
I’ve got so much to blog about though; updates on the new house, more food and our little trip to a nearby [...]

Wild mushroom on a bed of bruschetta
Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Firstly, I must stress that it was the HB who prepared this for our meal I was only the sous chef. The HB got the recipe online, though I don’t know where exactly, so I’m gonna write this down from memory. The HB had a friend who went mushroom picking and gave us [...]

I have been trying to incorporate more fish into my diet lately but it has been quite difficult as the best (and cheapest) fish are from the hypermarket which is quite a distance away. We try to stock up on fish whenever we go to the hypermarket, being a typical guy, the HB doesn’t like [...]

The weather is great today. The skies are clear, the sun is out, and it feels cool. I decided to take a walk today, and headed for the public garden nearby with my book in tow. Good thing I had my camera in my bag too, for I took some nice pictures.
I have no idea [...]
The pampered pooch

A pampered pooch, that would be me,
I get haircuts, salon treatment, hey, I’m pedigree.
Mangoes are my favourite, everyone knows,
It gets on my face, my ears and also my nose.
I have my sleeping closet, and I sleep with air-cond,
It gets cold sometimes, so I have PJs on.
They treat me like gold, my family does,
I love them for [...]

Response to our ongoing renovation works:
Translated loosely: Please. When do you finish the drilling? But what, is it (are you building) the Duomo of Milan?? Boeri family.
HB and I were dumbfounded when we saw this notice in the house. I wonder whether they pasted it on our door or slipped it under the door, as the [...]
The new apartment – Update 2
Posted in House on September 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
These pictures were taken on September 5th. The major piping and electricity cabling work has been completed.
This is the toilet tank that is embedded in the wall. Thus, one would not see the tank. To flush, there will be two “buttons” on the wall.
The sockets spray-painted with a big X are the old sockets. Italian [...]
Milan, Italy – September 2009

We got back from Milan late last night. Although I thought I wouldn’t enjoy Milan all that much, I actually did. It was a lot more vibrant than I thought it would be, and somehow reminded me a little of Oxford Street in London and along the street of Champs Elysees in Paris. Except with a [...]
I wonder

I wonder
If you are among the stars above
Watching us on earth try to live life
The way you would want us to.
I wonder
If you miss us
Or know how everything reminds us of you
The songs, the sounds, the sights,
Of memories to which we cling on so tight.
I wonder
If you know how hard it is
For try as I [...]
Ne…..?

The HB and I had quite a bit of discussion pertaining to recent events happening in Malaysia. Merdeka 2009 didn’t feel very Merdeka-ish to us, especially for the HB.
And then I watched this clip after chancing upon it on Pinkpau’s blog. This video cheered me up somewhat. Sigh. Why can’t we be a better, more [...]
