bought these, I will try to make them sometime

yoghurt, mini-sized milo drink, yakult, ferrero rocher chocolate

toasted, coon slices in between a baguette

if you like cookies & cream ice cream, try the Meadow Gold one – it’s a blue tub with a white lid – $7! it’s actually the best c&c ice cream I’ve had, surprisingly. couldn’t have found out about this if not for dinner at Karyn’s!

ingredients for the burger and the mediterranean salad


it was gooood! (i’ve scanned the recipes, burger and salad)

stuff for the finishing touches for the tandoori salmon

with chappati (instead of naan), yoghurt mix of cucumber + lemon juice + red chilli and I used Patak’s tandoori paste for the fish. recipe’s also from Jamie O’s Ministry of Food.
It’s going to be a stay-home weekend for me so I think there will be plenty more home-cooking which means more food photos!

Having one thing after another. Planning, worrying, stressing. Then a meeting today. Nursing a giant pimple right smack centre on my nose (this makes you look out for fellow pimple-on-the-nose victims, spotted one today in town). And I can’t seem to sleep every night, I’m feel hungry once my head’s on my pillow. So I’m continuing to finish what I started last year. I’m really not complaining, I’m actually in great spirits having seen this new collection from H&M via Ringo, Have a Banana! So much so that I’ve shamelessly asked a friend who lives in a city with H&M to help buy me some, come March!
Is everyone easing into 2010 nicely? I’m terrible. I like to correct people when they say 2010 is next year, but sometimes I can’t cos of who they are, all’s good though.

Here’s making up for the lack of everything on this blog, y’know in these festive times!

Fatboy awaiting the arrival of our friends


Celeste, Yajun, Caili, Popo, Ben & myself



Popo made her famooos tiramisu






We started drinking early




Played Charades while waiting for the stroke of midnight




We played with sparklers and poppers at midnight, then a bottle of beer smashed in the kitchen and then we went on to spend many hours watching weird funny horrible Japanese videos on youtube. Drank some more and was I the only drunk one at the table?
We missed you Whiteboy!
{Some photos were taken by Caili but it’s hard to say which ones exactly!]

The table’s all set, yes, mock my mismatched cups! We’re having a dinner party at our place tonight and we really only clean the house when people come over, we’re gross! I cross my fingers I didn’t over-salt the fish and that no cats jump onto the table. That dinner goes smoothly and we ring in the new year a little tipsy.
I don’t know what to make of 2010 being tomorrow. I had a good run this 2009 but I could do a lot better. The only resolution I’m making is to stick with running twice a week! I can do that, you can do that, Melly. What are some of yours? Maybe I could get inspired because I really don’t like to dig deep and think about these things.
So I’ll see you folks in 2010, a toast to the last day of the year, wherever you’ll be! x
