In touch with old friends

Today, I have been chatting with my ex-sec school friends via email. I have one who is in NY and was 2 years my senior in RGS.Her name is Adeline Khoo while the other one is in North Carolina, same age as me and used to be my classmate, called Gillian Wee. We were quite close in Sec school.

I chatted with them to find out more about NY since Adeline is there and Gillian studied there before. Gillian has an American-Korean boyfriend and she was showing me pictures of him. No comments on his looks. Adeline was telling me what to do in NY and when she mentioned about Madison Square Gardens having WWE (World Wrestling) and NBA..I quickly find out whether there will be any games or shows when I am there and I realised New York Knicks is playing against Utah Jazz in Madison Sq Garden on 23rd Dec- the day I arrive.

I excitedly emailed CT and he was all for it. I have not bought the tickets yet as I am trying to find out the best place to get cheap tickets. Cheapest is US$100 per person..so since it is not that cheap, I must source for more info before buying it at good price. CT loves basketball and I quite like watching it as well. Moreover, I always wanted to watch a NBA match.

So the whole day, I was finding out more about NY and getting good tickets for the basketball match. Was looking at broadway shows to catch as well. I would like to bring CT to watch "The Lion King" musical as I saw that in London and I loved it...so I do not mind watching it again. I love the Lion King songs and moreover, it is a Tony award winning musical.

Tonight, I cooked Char Siew Wanton Mee for dinner. It was successful..so happy. I made dumplings and put in hot water to cook instead of frying as it is healthier and less messy. The dumpling skin very thin and nice..I bought it from Asian Mart. I oven cooked the char siew and it turned out ok as well. It was dry noodles..so I cooked little gravy to be poured on the noodles. The gravy consisted of my left over dumpling filling-pork, prawn, sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce and little water plus fresh cut chilli. Not bad.

Here is a picture of it..(I ate halfway and decided to take a picture)

Oh, the noodles is perfect. I was pleasantly surprised as usually I will not get real stuff from Asian Mart...but the noodles and the dumpling skin proved it wrong.

Cooked pork rib herbal soup as well.
