Home. Cooked.


'Waiter, what's that fly doing in my soup?'
'Looks like the backstroke, sir.'

I am just going to put up a few more pictures for my family to remember their time here - just the home-cooked birthday dinner we had for my sister's birthday, kindly prepared by K.

It was a proper three meal dinner - with a cheese and olive platter as entree, followed by a Spanish mariscada (a seafood stew) and a fancy (sorry, my love, the ingredients are more complicated than I can name!) salad for mains, and a passionfruit cake at the end of it.



K was really kind and had gotten my sister a separate birthday gift as well - a nice little girly purse with many many pockets and slots, which I secretly eyed enviously. Hahaha!



Having worked in NSW for a couple of months as a locum, I slipped back into my eating habits of being a single guy - ham and cheese sandwiches, soups out of a can, instant noodles, microwave meals and regular take-away meals.

It was only then that I realised that in all the time we have been together, I have been really spoilt by K with some truly wonderful home-cooked meals. She is trying her best to introduce some much-needed culture and healthy eating in my life!

I am definite that K would be resistant of any praise about her cooking simply because of her nature, so I will just pay my compliments to her ability in three words.

Homemade chicken rice.

Haha D! You're right... but as I said... She knows that I think the world of her and her cooking - it seems like you're a better advertiser of her food, anyway! Heaps of catching up to be done, indeed!

Hahaha... ya la K can have her own show on AFC di... Jamie Oliver can take a rest for a while with her around. Haha Hengky you wanna the wallet ah why eyeing it envioudly? Oh well, you've always been envious of girls cause we have so many more clothing options compared to guys, right?

Oops.. I'm divulging too much already. Lest others think you're a cross-dresser, I'd better stop.

I like the wallet, it smells like kangaroo. Will use it when I get my first credit card...

I am not a cross-dresser. I only wore those dresses because they were... comfortable.
