Yen Can Cook 080303 - Wantan

Today we had wantan soup for dinner.

My wife forbid me from taking her photo while she's cooking. Her food is work of art, but apparently image of her preparing them is deemed....unglamourous.

 

 
 
 
The end result.

 

 
 
 
Look at my hair. This is the kind of thing I have to put up with when I come home to an extremely-bored-at-home woman.

I hope someone give her a job soon. Either that, I'll have to make her pregnant to keep her busy.

Norway in a kuaci shell

Image
A few years ago I watched a program on Norway. I can’t remember whether was it National Geographic or Discovery or some other TV programs, but images shown from various landscape of that country have been etched in my memory ever since. When BMW launched the latest model of my favorite motorcycle, they shot its promotional video amidst the beautiful landscape too. Now that wife and I are in Scandinavia, we thought we should visit Norway and see the country for ourselves. We skipped our honeymoon when we first got married in early 2007, so this trip makes up for it.   We figured that if we fly there, we will miss a lot of the countryside. If we take the train, we will not see as much as well. So we decided to rent a car, buy a road map and have a little adventure finding our way and driving to places we want to go. It's exciting because any place we end up at is new to us. And we can stop anywhere we want or when we want to see something up close. On the day we went to Hertz...

Kenyir - Gua Musang - Cameron Highlands

Image
It all started with me spotting a dotted line (indicating road under construction) from Tasik Kenyir to Gua Musang on the map I just got. I checked the date, map was printed in 2004. All this while the gang's been talking about the Gua Musang - Cameron Highland route. So I thought it's worth exploring this "new" route. Imagine a complete East - West ride/drive through scenic mountain roads: Tasik Kenyir - Gua Musang - Cameron Highland At the junction to Pengkalan Gawi. Turn left to get to Tasik Kenyir. The road to Gua Musang is right ahead.   Less than 2 km away, I spotted sign to "Gua Musang".   Further up front, this sign in red that says... "This road is not yet opened to the public. The Road Works Department will not be responsible for any inconvenience to road users" OK, this means I'm on my own if I decide to explore this. But then again, since when is the JKR responsible for "any" roads. Not as i...

We come to this world to suffer According to Buddhism, human come to earth to suffer. I didn't make this up, the monk who performed the rites at my mum's funeral said this to me. We have to suffer at birth. We have to suffer while growing up. We have to suffer a bit to feed ourselves. We have to suffer in order to experience happiness. We have to suffer before we get that girl we like. We suffer some more after getting the girl. We have to suffer before we can be rich. We have to suffer when we grow old. Finally, we have to suffer the pain of death. Seems to me, all roads lead to suffering in the end. By default, we suffer. In the end, we suffer. Happiness, satisfaction, joy - these are only temporary. So why are we doing whatever is it we're doing now? What for? The monk said that with my mum's passing, her suffering has ended. People with terminal diseases, why should others insist that they fight and go through painful and uncomfortable treatment that doesn...
