Merry Christmas 2010

Christmas is here again, and this year, it's on a Saturday... Although it’s a great day to celebrate but the not-so-happy thing is that, I have to spend Christmas at my workplace. This is nothing new to me since the day I joined my new company 2 years plus ago. My Christmas is not really joyful as I have to work. This year’s Christmas is also the same for me. While others are happily celebrating with their loved ones, family and friends, I had to celebrate it with my PC, my work, at my work desk in the office.

My man also had to accommodate to me and my job so, he too had to send me to and from work today. I just hope, next year’s Christmas I won’t be celebrating it at my workplace again.

Lord, please hear me out as I don’t wish to celebrate Christmas at my workplace anymore. Amen.

To those who are celebrating Christmas, have a blessed one, and those not celebrating, have a great weekend

As for me, got to get back to work again... sigh...

Cooking time again...

It’s cooking time again for me today since it’s a holiday for us. I had a request to cook something nice for them since my man’s siblings will go back to their own hostel tomorrow and will only come over to our place 2 weeks later. So, their request was for me to cook them chicken curry and Chinese bean curd seafood soup.

At 3pm, I was there in the kitchen preparing all the ingredients since it was quite a lot of preparation to be done just to cook something like this. Although it sounds easy to some of you, but for me, it’s a task that had my skills put to test. The whole preparation process took more than 3 hours coz I had to start from scratch e.g. peel, chop, and blend garlic, onions, ginger, etc…

At 7pm, it was dinner time, lucky thing my dishes came out well enough for them to go for second helpings and the look on their faces showed that it was a satisfying and hearty meal.

In the future, when I have funds for a small little oven, I’ll try my hands on some roasts stuff. I don’t have a sweet tooth so baking will be out of my list… maybe roasting a chicken or bake some potatoes, etc… got to start at the beginner’s level before I can be a pro like my mum…

A Saturday spent planting a Tree, Carey Island

It's the end of the weekend again. The 5 working days didn't move smoothly, there were so many walkthroughs and meetings to attend and suddenly, there were too many things to do with so little time given.

However, the weekend was better. My man went for tree planting at Carey Island in conjunction with Alfa Romeo's 100 year anniversary. We started off our journey at 7.30am and headed to Auto Connexion's sales office for the flag off at 9am. The whole journey was great coz there was a straight convoy of 78 cars with escorts all the way to the island. The weather was a little upset coz it was drizzling off and on throughout the activity. The whole event ended in the afternoon and by the time we reached home, we were dead tired.

Sunday was also another event related to cars. We went over to KLGCC for the Alfa Romeo’s car show. All owners of Alfas were given the privilege to see an almost full collection of Alfa Romeo antiques to modern makes of the cars. It’s an event worth going for car enthusiasts’ coz everyone was able to have a close up view on the cars.

And now, it’s 9.15pm. Time for me to take an early rest to charge up for the week ahead. Tuesday’s a holiday for us and I’ll hope I can spend time at home resting, but I can foresee I got to prepare meals since I have guests at home.

Till the next post soon… Good night…
