This afternoon, Jac and I went to the public pool with her niece Savannah. Jac and Savannah hung out together in the “leisure” section of the pool, while I walked laps in the “walkers” lane. The shallow end of the lane was 0.9 metres, and the deep end was 1.3 metres, so whenever I got […]
Tonight for dinner, Jac made me a fish sandwich. She flavoured the fish with lemon pepper and panfried it. With toasted multigrain bread, mayonaise and loads of lettuce, it was a delicious sandwich. I don’t usually have dessert, but Jac brought out a surprise from her backpack: Weston’s Country Style Sultana cake. I really love [&hellip…
I had combination rice for lunch, which is rice, steamed chicken, char siu (chinese barbecue pork) and green vegetables (usually choy sum) served with a small bowl of very tasty chicken broth with sliced spring onion floating in it. Mmmmmmm. I always pour extra soy sauce over the chicken, and it soaks into the rice […]
I didn’t make it to uni today. Jac needed me to help get our stuff back from the party house, so I decided to skip the joys of public transport on a public holiday and the lecture. I’ll either listen to it online or attend the repeat lecture on Wednesday afternoon. After we got our […]
I’ve turned down the job offer and cancelled tomorrow’s meeting. My supervisor hasn’t gotten back to me – I have a feeling she’s not on campus today to check her email or take calls, and the last thing I wanted was to leave the decision to the last minute tomorrow. I didn’t want to cancel […]
I’m all out of whack with sleep and my energy levels. Let me elaborate on my currently ballistic life before I go to bed. On Friday morning I got a job offer. You may remember how last year I supervised examinations, and how the guy in charge of examinations gave my name to another department […]
This post has a happy part and an angry part. Jac’s 40th birthday party food. My sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay-Shian were a fantastic help, otherwise I would’ve had to organise the food on my own, which would have been quite tricky. Juji assembled the cold hors d’ouvres and Jay was in charge of […]
Breakfast on Thursday was a bacon and egg toasted sandwich. The middle of the egg yolk was still semi-gooey, as I like it. And lunch was chicken and corn soup, a surprisingly big bowl, good value at $3.90. It had nice chunks of chicken in it and was very tasty. Things are going ballistic right […]
OK, so maybe these 4:30am starts are getting to me. Here was dinner last night, another variation of fried rice, made by Jac. This version has sliced ham, green beans, swiss brown mushrooms and corn kernels. It’s all been flavoured with kecap manis and soy sauce. She made a well in the rice at the […]
