Another lazy day..

Posted by Dawn at Sunday, October 16, 2005
CT left for work at 530am this morning. He would be working from 6am to 4pm today. I am glad he is working overtime only for these 2 weeks. So at least when my friend Esther comes, we can enjoy our weekends together.

Whole day, I watched TV, did my emails and did bible study as well. Just before CT came home, I was playing computer games and watched this show on diving in Maldives. So beautiful. Maldives has always been my dream place for diving and relaxation as the waters are so beautiful and so many kinds of fish. Hope to catch manta rays and whale sharks in my lifetime. These are always the 2 main things any diver would hope to see cos they are huge and tame creatures. Whale sharks is the biggest fish in the sea and they eat only planktons and organisms..small little tiny things for food. How sweet and gentle...

Manta ray is a huge sting ray that glides in the water. Very graceful..

Anyway, when CT came home and saw the diving show..he was also interested in it and asked where it was. I hinted that it was my dream place-Maldives.. Hehe..Hope he got the hint and we could go there some time. :p

We went Asian Mart after he came back as I wanted to make Lo Hei for my party this Wednesday. Having a farewell cum birthday party for CT's colleagues this wed. So, I wanted to see if they have plum sauce as that is the main ingredient. I spotted plum sauce and bought it without checking the ingredient in the bottle. I bought 2 bottles as it was quite small bottles and came back to realise, it was the wrong one!! SOB... So, I decided not to make Lo Hei.

We played tennis in the evening and I was playing horribly as my eyes were getting dry from the weather and so I was distracted while playing..I even missed hitting the ball..about 3 times! I could not believe it as I did not miss hitting before..

So, anyway, the final score was pathetic 6-1 and 4-3..I stopped after that tellin CT that I really do not wish to go on cos I was not only hungry but my eyes kept blinking cos of the dry weather..I lost both games.

After bathing, we went Walmart to buy some groceries for this Wed. I would be cooking char siew and dumpling soup. So, went to buy charsiew meat. I had to find something closest to it..which ended up some country pork loin ribs. Haha..oh well. Every grocery store selling pumpkins as halloween is coming. I spotted huge pumpkins in the store and it costs US$15. Take a look!



















After Walmart shopping, it was quite late already. We decided to go for a Chinese take-out since we did not have to pay extra for tips and felt it was better to take out than to eat at a restaurant where we have to wait 30 mins for a seat.

Usually, the portions are big..so we ordered only one dish- Cantonese Chow Mein. It was under the Chef Special column. So, decided to try that and they said there was gravy which I wanted. I spoke Cantonese with them. I think they are from Malaysia. Anyway, I did not know what to expect for our dinner until we reached home and opened it up. I was pleasantly surprised!!! For one, it was small portion..sobsob..For another, it was actually sheng mian!!-the fried crispy noodles which I have not eaten for many many months! YAY!!!

We places the box in the middle of the table and we both gouged down our food.It was fun eating the improper way but just leaning forward to eat our noodles sharing from the box. We finished it real quick..too yummy.




So, the dinner was not too filling. So, we microwaved cheddar cheese popcorn in the bag and ate it while watching our Jap serials. The VCD that we watch is really in Jap as there is no dual sound. But at least, there are chinese charaters to read..so in a way it is good for me to improve my chinese and jap at the same time.
