Independence!

This morning, after CT left for work at 7am, I went back to sleep cos I was very exhausted. Well, it is supposed to be the weekends and I would usually wake up at about 8 plus am to 9am. Finally, I woke up at 9am and decided to call my dad cos I know it is his first day back home for good.

I called and mum picked up. She told me that dad having a fever and had no time to talk. She told me to call tomorrow. So, I put down the phone, got my camera cum handbag, MP3 player and took my morning walk to Asian Mart. Since CT had to work till evening and I wanted some exercise, so, I walked and walked. The weather was about 18 degrees and I was just in shorts and Tees. It was very nice weather...air con temperature-sunny.

I plugged in my MP3 earphones and listened to my music collection while walking. Saw few people walked pass me. One was this guy who was dressed in winter clothings...all wrapped up plus headgear..looks like a homeless guy. I timed myself and it was about a 15mins walk one way. I enjoyed the walk as not only I listened to music, I was talking to God. It was like a date with Him..I prayed to Him about taking away the fever of my dad and all. With few guys walking past me, I was not afraid.

Bought some Asian Vegs-Chai Sin, Bean sprouts. Here is how it looks like.. The shop sells meat as well like duck, intestines, some bones etc.. But I never dared to buy those..cos I am not sure how fresh it is..it just looks gross..haha..

















While walking back with my veggies, I was bored and decided to take some pictures.. I was walking on the service road (side road from main road) where not many cars drive in.

This is the road I walk on to go back..After 10 mins walk, I have to cross the main road which is on the right of the picture. I enjoy the walk as I get to see houses on my left..I love seeing people's house and how they maintain it and their garden. :)

Spotted wildflowers on the way back as well. They grow sparsely on grasses. Very small..

When CT came home at about 4pm, we went to library to return some books and music CDs and borrowed some mags and travel books. After that, we wanted to play tennis but it was crowded...We met Chen Twok (CT's colleague) and his mum walking to throw their trash. His parents just came today from Malaysia. I was pleasantly surprised his mum spoke English cos Chen Twok speaks mainly Chinese.

Anyway, I made sushi tonight for dinner. It was a complete Jap experience where I made sushi, made green tea with the leaves(not bags), miso soup..all very yummy.

First, I had to slice this...

Then, the remaining skin below..I used it to fry till crispy and cut it up into small bits to add in my sushi.

Then I used the remaining oil to fry 2 eggs (beaten) and cut it up into slices as well.

Got a cucumber and removed the skin, seeds and sliced it up as well..

Miso soup tasted so so nice with seaweeds and tau pok (all included in the packet).

Abra-ca-da-bra.......


Here is my wonderful dinner!!

We made about 4 rolls of sushi..so filling.

After dinner, we watched our Jap VCD and had company from a moth! hehe..

It was on our blinds in the living room..
