A farewell dinner

My ex-colleague, Fei was so generous to have treat me and Phythia in My Old Place (老地方) to have a farewell dinner. I must say that the food is great and the portion is big. It's a good gathering place if you are looking for nice and affordable food.

The starter

Fried bean, even vegetable also fried with chili.

Fried pork...also with chili

This is aubergine with meat in between. It kinda reminds me my mom's cooking, which is the Yong Tau Fu she always make using aubergine.

This is my favorite - Lamb stew

My ex-colleagues - Fei and Phythia

London Footprint 4 : Singapore Day 2009 in Hampton Court

It's a sunny day again. The London Singapore Day 2009 was held in Hampton Court. Me, Pui San and Nic went all the way to Hampton Court and found out that it's actually a really nice place. The most important is that - I met Callista, my friend from A-Level class. Surprise!!

I was having fun during Singapore Day. The food is consider good for me and most important is - THEY ARE ALL FREE!!! I am so surprise that we can actually got free stuff during the day. We even got free t-shirt, diary, cds, magazines, goody bags and drinks. There are lots of Singapore's artist performing during the day. I was so glad to hear the Singaporean English and Hokkien again. I suddenly feel so HOME.

Met my friend, Callista.

About the food~

I have been very lazy since I got redundant. I have plenty of time but I don't cook as much as I was working last time. I normally eating plain porridge with a simple dish. However, once in a while, I do cook something nice to reward myself. Below are a few dishes I cooked (I did cooked them myself, I swear):

Fu Zuk + Lotus seed bailey.

Grill fish head with Teriyaki sauce. This is my first time doing this myself and it is actually quite easy.

Roti Canai with Curry Chicken. Please don't think that i make the roti canai myself cause I am not that good yet. Hehe. It is just ready-make roti canai i bought from supermarket.

Cola Chicken Wing, a recipe from my fren Angeline. Yummy but I am thinking going to use diet coke instead of normal coke to cook next time.

P/S: They are just simple and normal dishes and therefore I am not putting the recipe here. However, do leave me a comment if you really want the recipe.

London Footprint 2: Regents Park

It has been 2 weeks since I last update my blog. Anyway, don't think that I am doing nothing during this period. My footprint project still going on daily.

London weather has been so great for the past week. Extremely great considering it always has shit weather. The sunshine is so great and it feel so great to just lay on the grass in the park and have a nice sunbathing. I realized that I have become a sun worshiper just like all the other British. This is so different for me when I was back in Malaysia. I hate walking under the sun in Malaysia because it is burning. Or maybe it's because we always have sunny day in Malaysia and we tend to take it for granted.

I spent 2 afternoons exploring Regents Park. Mainly it's because it is kinda big and my camera battery die halfway on the first day and also I was kinda lost in the park. I am not kidding!!! I did get lost and therefore walked around the same places for few times. =.= Ok, I must admit that my good sense of direction don't work all the time. ;P

What can we find most in the park? I would say flowers, kids and dogs because you will see most of them in my photo album. And normally we can see so so so many things going on in a parks such as: reading, walking dog, picnic, jogging, playing football, sunbathing, snogging(I m serious and I even got a few photos to prove, hehehe, I am definitely not a stalker) and I even meet a going-to-marry-soon-couple shooting wedding photos.

The toddler is so cute.

They are not snogging cause my blog is clean ma..18sx..hehehe...

The future Beckhamssss.

Walking dog is one of the main activities in the park.

Muscular guys playing rugby.

Sun-bathing. I used to sit there once and a person come to collect money from me. =.= I seriously dunno i need to pay for the chair.

The going-to-marry-soon couple.


Lying on the grass under the sun is just so nice.

The little girl was crying but very cute.

Finally it's me eating ice-cream....Yum Yum....

I kinda addicted to self-taking pic.....I know, I am CAMWHORE....but i dont care... ;P
