FOOD! GLORIOUS FOOD!

there's endless fun when staying with 8 other Malaysians. every occasion is a cause for celebration to eat, which suits me just fine, but it also explains the metamorphosis from the once tajam face to the now bulat face. and i keep convincing myself that when spring comes, i'll be out and about everyday doing my evening runs.

Yea right.

but anyways, i digress. this post is about food.

Alex came over for the weekend and we had sweet & sour pork, sarawak laksa, and kaya toast. Saw Sian's birthday on Wed we had a huge gargantuan dinner with fried wantan, meesuah with shittake mushroom & wine chicken soup, papadum and red bean soup.
we baked 2 banana cakes over the last 2 days and made banana+apple+orange smoothie yesterday.
i have this mental image now of myself when January comes...a bak-zhang wrapped up in thick rain/water/snow breaker, waddling my way through the melted slushy snow.
oh sorry, i digressed again.
when you miss home so much, simple things like meesuah and red bean soup REALLY do wonders. kudos to Lena, the chicken wine soup was so heavenly...i could almost still taste it in my mouth now. oh and thanks to WoeiLin we ate the meesuah with cili padi (i'm still amazed that he actually managed to find that here)...which is EXACTLY how my mom would serve it at home. and we discovered that red bean soup goes superbly well with a tinge of Bailey's. it actually taste like santan with red bean soup, except that there was an alcohol aftertaste to it. yum...

ok. here goes my Christmas wish list:
1. 4 return tics M'sia-Scotland for pa, mi, sis and bro OR 1 return tic Scotland-M'sia for me
2. 4 return tics M'sia-Scotland for pa, mi, sis and bro OR 1 return tic Scotland-M'sia for me
3. 4 return tics M'sia-Scotland for pa, mi, sis and bro OR 1 return tic Scotland-M'sia for me

yeap, the inevitable has finally hit me. (Ian, stop snickering)


(wow...my face is seriously tajam at that time...)

hey, at least i survived 4 mths :P it's funny how you can be concentrating on something, and then all the sudden your mind just gets infiltrated with thoughts of home. but no worries, i'm not going to get all emo. right...i really REALLY should be studying.
