Another great cookout at Shirin's


Yes, defiinitely a great evening. Cosy with just the few of us and lots of yummy food.
Pity Bez cannot make it; sign of a growing teenager, having his own social life. But really sweet of him to contribute his yummy Chile con Carne. And of course not forgetting Shirin's pizza and Rachel's special lasagne! We truly have a international spread. And Daisy's fried shrimp smelt so good in the car that we were so tempted to eat it right there! Especially so when we got lost on the way.

My Implants

Dr Lynn Yeo - www.lynnyeo.com.sg Its been 11 days after the implant... I am seeing fine now. Close vision still not too good but according to Dr. Yeo, my eyes are still adjusting. That probably explained the fact that at certain time of the day I see fine and some time, a little out of focus. For near sighted reading, it helps using a reading glass. At least for now; may gets better, may not. But thats just for reading. Otherwise everything else is ok. Can check out the cute guys, no problem :-) She also given me the green light to resume work out. So I am hitting the gym tonite! Yippee! Ok, the moment I mentioned implant, everyone's eye automatically move to u know where! No I don't need that! I am proudly well endowed :-) So I have this need to clarify. Its ICL or rather in my case, Toric ICL - implantable contact lens. Lasik is something I've always wanted. But unfortunately I am not medically qualified because of my thin and irregular cornea. I was so disap

Fajitas Dinner

Image
Sixteen years in Texas and finally now back in Singapore after 10 years, I finally attempted to make this signature dish. Been back for 10 years and still cannot find any restaurant that can come close to the real TexMex Fajitas. Started marinading the flank steak right after noon. Was not able to get hold of the regular Texas lime; so used calamansi & lemon instead. Out of ziploc bag so used the bowl instead. Would be better in the ziploc cos then the flavor will be completely sealed in. But anyhow, it still turned out awesome. Marinade with onions, cilantros, bell pepper, salt & cumin. Finally ready for grill after chilling in marinade for about 6 hours Did the whole enchiladas...man have not used this expression for a while! Guess for this, it is most befitting. Did guacamole, pico de gallo and Mexican rice. All from scratch. Rice is cooked with fresh tomatoes, pureed with onions. Was not able to get any avocados cos those that Daisy bought for me was not ripe yet..

Sex & the City - Gold Class

Gold Class - that's the way to go man! It's like going on business class. Great movie, great company and great experience. Thank you Rachael and Shirin for suggesting it. And Rachael, thank you so much for booking the tickets online. You know its such great fun to dress up for a movie. To feel so excited about a movie outing. Seems to lost that for a while. Isn't that what life is all about? I am so thankful to have girlfriends like you all to spice up my life. You are my Spice Girls! I really enjoyed it. Though I have to agree with Daisy, the next time around I will rather go easy on the dining cos the service disrupted the movie. And it's such a shame that they got Shirin's order mixed up and here we are, Daisy and me wondering why our platter is so humongous. HOw silly of us That aside, the movie itself is really entertaining. You have to know the series to enjoy it. Wonder if they will do a sequel or maybe a Desperate Housewives movie?
