Weekend Activities

It has been a busy weekend in the household with the birthday party and last ditch open houses. The last weekend being the final weekend of Ramadhan and all. My sister hosted her daughter's and husband's birthday party on Saturday. My Auntie also traveled all the way from Sg Petani to visit us. The party went on all afternoon. In the evening, there was the Premier League fix after the two weeks international break. The result went United's way apart from Arsenal hitting form. The fiasco with the beach balloon in Sunderland really made my weekend.

On Sunday, we went to over to Cheras to attend Anita's cousin's open house. Likely going to be the last for the Syawal. Spend some time there but had to return early since I was taking my family for dinner that evening. We went to Cozy Corner in Ampang Park, a favourite spot for Anita's family but we were really disappointed last night. The food was off the mark this time around. The steak was dry, the noodles was not nice, even the fish and chips were soggy. Have they changed the chef? It was a disappointing end for a lovely weekend.

Monday arrived today and I spent the evening after work sifting through the photos taken during the weekend. Finally managed to do some post-processing on them and got evething on order. Unfortunately, I am at my Taman Cemerlang residence minus the broadband. Uploading the pix onto my site was a pain. May have to swing over to the Taman Setia home to upload it later in the week. I also need to use the printer to print some articles at some stage in the week. My friend's from college were also asking if I will be playing badminton tonight. Unfortunately it is difficult to leave Anita and the boys alone at Cemerlang and the game only starts at 9. After finishing at 11.30, I am sure that the Terendak boys wanted to hang around for a session of teh tarik. Might be playing next week we are back in Setia.

Open house at Anita's cousin

Another open house today and it is at Anita’s cousin in Cheras. What is unique is the catering. She actually does some catering herself and decided to host something different. The food were all Kampong themed with real tempoyak and ulam. Petai was everywhere and the rendang tok was heavenly.

We stayed from 2 until almost six, waiting for cousins after cousins to arrive. Most of them were from other Open Houses and by the time they arrive, most are already full. Once they started chatting, nothing can sop them. It's a good time to catch on old gossip I suppose. Will be out later to take my auntie from Sg Petani out for dinner. Not sure yet where we will be headed.

Waiting for my Tandoori while watching Drogba just scoring a scorching goal

It's Saturday night and in a couple of hours ManYoo will play Bolton at home. It has been my ritual for a number of years now to get a Tandoori takeout in my 2001 Veron ManYoo top before every weekends game. I like to believe that is part of the reason why we win more often than lose.

Tonight is exception follwing the abysmal showing and a late saviour in the form of Ferdinand (of the Anton variety this time), we could've been undone. The perplexing tactical masterstroke of not even puttig Ryan Giggs on the bench on the fateful Sunderland game just goes to show how much we depend on the old guard. It was so worrying to see how many misplaced passes Scholsey played dying the 45 minutes he was on te field. I just pray that it was just a fluke, not a dip in form. The alternative would be either Carrick or Anderson. Both of them are out of form at the minute.

Oops! Aston Villa just scored an equiliser against Chelsea. Things are looking up! Will write after the match if I have Internet access.
