Happy Birthday Dad


Was my father's birthday yesterday. Went to Zipangu for dinner, but only because I had a 35% group dining voucher, which made it quite reasonably priced. Food was excellent as always, and the shashimi very very fresh. Forgot to take pics of the other food, like the pan seared foie gras on winter melon, the soft shell crab spider maki, the yummy grilled saba mackerel.

Twas a noisy affair as usual, with the 6 kids running around wild. Boy no 1 as usual, being his cheeky self, when singing the birthday song, went,
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to [DAD'S NAME]
Happy Birthday to you.

I mean, all of us sang either dad, yer yer or kong kong.... that boy call by name.

Apart from the birthday dinner, nothing very much happened. Decided to give the old bones a rest after yesterday's gruelling Body Attack.

List Of Desserts For Sale

Okay, this isn't going to make me rich, but no harm making a few bucks on the side from a hobby. If I was a talented musician, I'd probably be a part time lounge pianist in some seedy bar. I am NOT a talented cook by any yardstick. However, since friends and fellow floggers (food bloggers) have been asking, it is with great reluctance that I have to put a price tag to these products: LIST OF DESSERTS AVAILABLE AS AT 30 AUGUST 2006 Chocolate Tart - Literally half baked, this tart comprises a bottom layer of baked chocolate, and a layer of melted chocolate ganache.

Wasn't gonna write anything, but then I got this message on MSN. How sweet....dunno if its sarcasm: J says: blog updated? J says: go update J says: i can't carry on the day without reading it first CORNELIUS says: i got nothing to update wor J says: so u planning to just not write? J says:how irresponsible Anyway, to further add to the pool of instructor rivalry, I got this sms over the weekend, from fellow gym kaki: That should hopefully ruffle some feathers, and cause an all out martial arts war. No gym yesterday, as I was too late for body attack at axis. Brought the boys to Ikano, to hangout, as girl has some tests at school, so had to stay back with mother to do some work. Hung out at Popular, but not before buying some Wrigley Juicy Fruit chewing gum which I used to eat as a kid, and thought boy no 1 would like. Boy: So, is this what you ate in the old days? Me: Old days? Boy: Ya, old days. When you were a kid. Me: Ya. Boy: What did they use as clocks in the old days

Weekend With Wonder Woman

Image
Friday - Same old same old. Body Pump at MJH/MRB, FPI that day replaced by Myke, as the former had quartelies. Rushed back, to prepare supper for cell group, which initially looked like no one was going to show. Fortunately, the two home made pizzas did not go to waste, and this the son's verdict. Saturday- Tons of errands to run, in preparation for dinner party tonight with Wonder Woman aka Gorgeous Woman. Started in Petaling Street, to get the Sei Ngan Chai Ham Arp, (4 eyed boy's salty duck), managed to grab a plate of chee cheong fun....Petaling Street is always so hustling and bustling, even at 9.30am. I so love that place. Great food as well. Headed to normal Ipoh Kueh Teow shop, Lee Tong Kee in Jln Silang, but it was closed, so went to Tengkat Tong Shin, which was ALSO closed. Gee such slackers. Ended up having to get it from Lucky Garden, but the lady wasn't accustomed to our usual method of tah pau, so it ended up a trite soggy. Baked the same Nigella Lawson's C
