Half the weekend gone + annoying congested nose!

Wow, "blink an eye", and half the weekend has disappeared just like that. It's 3.20am Sunday morning right now, and I'm still not asleep coz I'm waiting for my decongestant medicine to kick in and clear my beladi congested nose first. Otherwise it's superly uncomfortable to sleep breathing through your mouth with one nose blocked. Can't imagine how people with COPD or any other lung diseases sleep lah. Even congested nose already I cannot tahan. Don't even talk about obstructed airways or restricted airspace in your lungs. (I got very low threshold for discomfort eh )

Hmmm, so what have I been doing for the last couple of days? Goodness me, I have to sit and think hard what happened 2 days ago...my memory must really be going...going down the drain liao. Ah yes, Friday night I attempted to cook curry fish head (Charles bought a couple of huge salmon fish heads some time ago for 50pence each) with the help of a nyonya asam fish curry packet. Turned out not bad la My standards not very high, so pretty easily satisfied lar.

Then slept til the wee hours of Saturday morning and went for lunch with Dipak @ Bangkok Cafe. We were joined later by Lukey, Dr Wai & her sec school friend who's an F1 in Dundee now, Dr Yong a.k.a. Michael Simon. Long story about how his 'a.k.a. name' came about, but...nevermind. Too lazy to explain. And btw, that's not really his name la. Ate some chicken tomyam soupy dish + masaman (kinda like chicken curry + potatoes + nuts) which was not too bad lah. I think the food Dipak & Luke & Carolyn ate the night before sounded better lar, especially the super hot & spicy green curry. Plus, they had this really pretty Thai waitress too, which Luke & Dipak couldn't stop gushing about after dinner hahaha.

Went to buy a few things after lunch to make sushi for later (my little contribution for dinner). You can't believe how bloody difficult it is to find mirin to put in the sushi rice. Finally bought some rice vinegar for sushi thingy (plus alot of other unnecessary nice stuff hence spending unnecessary money). Made sushi later with altogether SIX cups of japanese rice + smoked salmon/japanese-styled eggs/cucumber with the help of 'Master Chef' Lee SC in cutting the sushi into pieces, coz I sucked at cutting through the nori sheets without destroying the 'isi' in the process. Tooked some over to the guys' house while the rest started a karaoke session in Dilston. Played some foosball (& learnt that I sucked at playing YET another game ), had a gin+coke, a few sips of whisky+coke (gave the rest to Nits...thanks Nits!), and watched them play a bit of Risk before deciding to head back home.

Got home nearly a couple hours after I arrived at the guys' house (had only intended to stay 15 minutes initially!!), & they'd already finished their karaoke session. So fast! Had a chitchat session with Lukey for awhile on various stuff while EW & Charles battled it out on the chinese chess battleground :D And finally, here I am. Oh, and I've also been busy figuring out how to change the layout on this blog. Very interesting, but also quite difficult to figure out what is what in HTML language/CSS stuff. And I also didn't realise until KahYin told me that the fancy-fancy fonts that I changed on this blog can only be seen from my comp coz they're not the core fonts that the blogsite or web or something has. Sigh, so disappointed.

Argkhk. Just had ANOTHER sneezing fit. So sien already. NB to my nose: Stop acting up everytime the weather turns cold already. ANNOYING!!
