Misc & Random Events

To those who did email me, thank you for all those suggestions on Tassie.

just to keep the mouth watering, i've taken a few pictures of our big dinners over the last few months. our household tries to have a big dinner once a week. a big dinner is defined as cooking many many dishes (anything more than just fried rice is considered a big dinner). as usual, we have our frequent flyer joining us... Mr David Tan. we all figured that since we are all "tan"s, he is allowed in the house for dinner.

In no particular order, here are some pictures of our dinner. This is to prove... MUM, I'm EATING WELL!

Dinner 1: Baked Fish with Onions, Mushroom and Carrots + Mash Potato (yum my favourite) + Fried chicken + Salad

Dinner 2: Baked Chicken & Cheese rice - Jeremy's speciality + Baked fish (again) + Rack of Lamb (courteousy of David Tan) + Steam Vegs

Dinner 3: BBQ Stingray + Egg - done the Japanese way + Minced beef + Asparagus + Soup + chewy beef +???

Dinner 4: Nasi Lemak - The usual Coconut Rice, BBQ sting ray with a lot of sambal chilli, Luncheon Meat, Egg, Ikan Bilis & Peanut + KaiLan

Well well... that's our once a week attempt since January. It was more like one of our new years resolution to eat together more often.

Anyway, since this is so random, here's a picture of Joy and her dead plant.

Question: How long does it take for Joy to kill a Basil plant. Answer: 5 mins! - Just after it got back from the Market

Randomness again... this is at the belgian beer garden. The pipis was soooo good.

And this is what happens after a friday night overdose of alcohol. - since then... I've reformed. No more drinks on a Friday night. (for a while at least)

Tassie Ideas?

I have my Travel Tassie all organised and planned. Just waiting confirmation if all is good. If anyone has an suggestions about what to do, or what NOT to do (or not worth doing), please send me an email!

Well, the places of interest are:

• Duck Reach Power Station - That's not because I'm an engineer
• National Automobile Museum of Tasmania (no... it's not my thing)
• Meander Falls
• Liffey Falls
• St Helen's Point
• Bicheno
• Frecinet National Park
• Mt Amos
• Wineglass Bay
• Swansea
• Richmond
• Mt Wellington
• Mt Field
• Hobart
• the Office + David's farm
• Port Arthur
• Queenstown
• Cradle Mountain'
• Burnie??

Yes, all these places in 8-9 days. It should be more than enough. What else have we missed? Suggestions? Anyone?

No no, the overland trail shall be saved for a future trip. That would be too much for this trip.

trouble and more trouble

After more than a month of confirmation of my transfer, my boss finally found out that I'm leaving. He found out that his boss and his boss' boss have been organising my transfer. Well, basically, from now to the time I leave Melbourne, I'm not going to have a good time at work. Maybe I should hide in Dubai and minimise my time in Melbourne. But the melb office is paying my wages from now till then. how am i going to justify this... i'll find a way

It's really hard trying to dodge your boss in the corridor, pretending to read some papers whilst walking along the corridor, trying to dodge the awkardness at the lift lobby etc. He hates me. I bet he does.

I can't wait till I leave. Taking the month of April off from work... not the whole month, but almost. Heading back to Tassie again for a little bushwalking, sightseeing etc. March is going to be a long long month. I am just looking forward to April. That would be great. Can't wait. Over stressed now... ;(
