The Art of Animaling

last saturday...

Kelly and I went down to Chinatown for a spot of grocery shopping. On the way to the city, we hopped onto the bus with the grumpiest driver EVER. While buying our tickets, he gave us this super annoyed i-hate-my-job kinda look. If you hate your job so much, you should just fucking quit.

Somewhere in the city, we got held up in a traffic jam. Another passenger tried to ask what the problem was but the idiot driver replied him curtly which was damn rude. Then we turned into Elizabeth St which was our stop and the other passenger rang the bell. When our stop came, the idiot driver drove right past without stopping. The jerk! Why? He said because the "bus stopping" sign wasn't flashing. Why wasn't it flashing? Because the fucking idiot, at the traffic lights, OPENED the bus door to chat with the driver in the bus beside us. And what happens when the DOOR IS OPENED WHILE THE STOP SIGN IS FLASHING? Yes correct, the sign stops flashing.

How dare he accuse us of not ringing the bell, when the guy clearly did and I SAW IT. It was the stupid idiotic driver's fault for not paying attention to the bell, and for opening that damn door which turns off the sign! The fucking jerk. I jabbed the bell and we got down one stop later. He didn't even bother to open the back door, forcing me and Kelly to get off via the front door. He's one of the worst drivers I've ever encountered. Bah.

At Chinatown, we had a nice dim sum breakfast which burned a hole in our wallets. Once in a while is okay, I guess. Nothing like good oriental cuisine to curb homesickness hehe. After that we bought our groceries. Feels dam "si lai" (housewife-y). Went home and chill after that. Nice relaxing weekend. Aah~

Last night I cooked dinner. Baked fish with cous cous and mashed potatoes. The fish was a bit overcooked but the olive oil marinade saved it. Well, at least it saved mine. Kelly's turned out too dry because the foil broke and all the olive oil seeped out. Sorry Kelly >_< The mashed potatoes were good; boil in salt water, drain, mash with butter, milk, basil and Greek seasoning. YUMMY~!

We had our dinner with white wine. Kelly was red by the time we finished the bottle hehe. Daniel convinced us to tani, so we had some Smirnoff Black after that. By this time, Kelly was turning crimson and giggly teehee. You know you are drunk when you start to tell people that you're not drunk ;) We later cracked open a bottle of red. Kelly said she didn't like it and passed her glass to Daniel. Then she picked up the glass again and gulped some. Lol.


Some photos...kind of outdated but meh. Mostly courtesy of Kelly.



Looks good right? =D Kelly and Patrick helped me with it. That's fish and chips with salad. Crumbed fish fillets, crispy chips and salad with croutons and olive oil + lemon juice dressing. Served with aioli (mayo + garlic) dip.

That's Daniel (same birthday as me!) and his girlfriend Christina.
