With Freedom Comes Boredom

Finally its the hols and I get to start on my official blog! Hmmm... looks a bit dull though... hoping to take Digital Painting and Website Design and Development elective next sem and hopefully will be able to create my own blog skin! Plus I'll try to post some of my works if I have the time.

Just got back from Safra chalet (you know... the ulu ulu one but double storey and right next to the golf course..). Amazingly they just refurbished all the bungalows plus and service has improved alot!The kitchen was... wow... lets say I would want my kitchen to be at least that good-looking! The old brick and classical bbq pit is now totally hidden in a single slab of concrete that had a touch of style in the design! We brought a camera however Ian had to use it for a mountain climbing trip which he had in the following day :(

I think I've never eaten so much before and I would say it was the first time and food and bbq-ing lasted the whole 3 days! Le say we manage to stuff ourselves with tau yu bak with porridge (hardboiled eggs, pork and usually tau pok and tau ki in a salty soya sauce-like gravy... veerrrrryyy nicccceeeee), spaggetti with melted mozarella (with the help of the chalet's microwave), bor bor cha cha (yes... we brought all the ingredients and made everything THERE!), sushi (my onigiris had salted fish in them!), tung yuan, mushroom campbell soup, chocolate fondue with marshmellows and pizzas using bread with leftover spaggetti sauce and cheeze and baked using a make-shift oven in the bbq pit.

The fire was loo low so we raised the charcoal with a bended piece of used bbq wire mesh and using another flat one to slide our breads under the heat! Well... it worked perfectly with abit of fallen ash... until we found out where that flat wire mesh came from *shivers!*.The wire mesh, the SAME one that touched our bread which we put in our mouth, came from the fencing that they use to separate the chalet from the golf course opposite. It had touched dirt, outdoor germs, it was near the longkang for goodness sake! And worse we saw RATS.... cute little rats scuttling on the fence, climbing up and down the mesh.....................................................................................................

Well, I would say its our fault to *ahem* take chalet property but I really didn't know! Popo suggested the idea and we both thought it was another used wire mesh from the neighbouring bbq pit. Later on my uncle saw me munching away the newly baked batch of pizza and that was when... erm... we "closed down our shop" for the day. Think I ate about, what, 6-8 pieces? Thankfully nothing has happened to far...no vomitting no crapping.

Nonetheless it has been the most enjoyable chalet stay. We slept in rows like sardines and Gwendaline placed 2 arm chairs together to make a cradle-like bed... and yes... she's too big so her leg had to stick out buuut she insists... whatodo? And I can't remember the last time I was so comfortable with a toilet beside my home's! (Well, only the second floor one actually... the first floor looked like a maze... creepy...><)

Oh well, more next time... now i go watch Powerpuff Girls Z for awhile....
