A Dinner or Three

I had a couple of dinners to celebrate the coming birthday. It seemed that all were cramped up during the last weekend as to have the feasts before Ramadan. Not a bad idea.

The first one was just with Puan Anita right after visiting the AV fair. Tomyam because she wanted so. Great dinner and after a tiring day - post call, I slept well that night.

Last night, it was a dinner with my father-in-law who would be celebrating his birthday on the same day as me. We had Chinese, because the boys wanted so. Great meal again.

But at the end of the day, I was still left to dwell on what I really wanted. Sounds like an excuse for another dinner outing.....

Anita's Night Out

Anita had been fasting for the past three days and tonight, her friends asked her to join them to break fast together at one if the restaurant in town. Luckily, I was able get home early. So, off she went.

And the boys had been in top form tonight. After finishing their homeworks, they just jumped and jumped. Driving me nuts. In the end, I had to let them have their iPads. They seemed happy afterwards, and I was able to finish some reports for work. It worked out fine!

Tom Yam then

Puan Anita asked me what I wanted for dinner as soon as arrived in Malaysia today. I told her tom yam. I want some proper tom yam. One of my colleague in Lugano kept harping on about wanting some tom yam. And after a few days on bland vegetarian diet, tom yam would do nicely.

So, tom yam it was then .... thanks Puan Anita.

Finally, Dinner

Finally I felt like I was having a holiday. We had dinner at the hotel before packing up for the trip home tomorrow. Full meal, complete with loud discussion in the end. Quite nice actually since we were out on the verandah. The discussion went for quite a bit towards the end.

I don't feel like going back into the room. I hate packing ......

.... it was much nicer just chilling out downstairs.

Steam Fish

Since her illness, Puan Anita was not doing much cooking. To a certain extend, I was starting to miss it. So, I was glad that she cooked last night. And it was some steam fish, something that I had always been keen on.

Suffice to say that we didn't get to share. I gobbled then down in double quick time ....
