Finally found my old blog! I think I might just revive it! Now that I have more to think about and more to say!

What i didn't do this weekend and what i did

Image
This was a long weekend and like many sydneysiders, i was planning a trip out to Dubbo with friends. However, there was torrential rainfall and storms in NSW this weekend too, destroying many people's plans to go out of town. It was quite scary - as we speak, the death toll is up to 9 and there are still floodings going on in parts of NSW. There was a section of highway that collapsed and sent a family of 5 down into the river and they all died. Watch this video. Someone said that this showed the wrath of God. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16471&rn=248153&cl=2957725&ch=885604 So what did i do in the end? We had hotpot at April and Kenneth's place. with a little alcohol - or a lot depending on who you were. Just the right food for the weather.

cooking for one

Image
I have not frequently cooked when i was at home. but here, food is so expensive that it makes logical sense to cook. For example, a plate of hokkein noodles cost $10 and probably doesn't taste anything like hokkein noodles. But cooking for 1 is tricky. cos i need to ration the amount of food cos if i cook too much, i'll overeat. also i need to think about things that i can keep for lunch the next day. cos lunch in the hospital is really quite crappy. But i think i'm getting there. I cooked for friends recently who came to visit me in sydney and they finished everything off! So i'm not bad! Will attempt some dinner parties next time. only problem is no tableware and no chairs! Here are some examples of what i've cooked. rice with fried egg and chye sim with mixed seafood fish porridge with fried beef and chives yummy? Another useful tip. lee kum kee black bean sauce and char siew sauce and oyster sauce taste good with anything!

Star Gazing

Was in town on satuday when i chanced upon a roadshow for TVB in sydney. They were recruiting new customers for satellite TV broadcasting TVB programmes. As part of the performance, they had singers singing. The first one i heard sounded like Guo Mei Mei. I said sounded cos i couldn't see - there was a huge crowd of pp! There was another singer after that but i couldn't see him and i didn't recognise the song. Was tempted to sign up for the package. Then on sunday, Pastor preached about idolatory and about how some of us spend so much time in front of the TV worshipping it instead of reading the bible or a christian book. Then i thought, maybe i should give this some thought and prayer!
