50th Merdeka Weekend !

Thursday, 30 August 2007, Eve of Malaysia's Independence Day ... we (Soo Theng, Voon Choong, Angeline, new house mate of Dennis and me) had a Choo Char dinner (Pai Kut Ong, Lotus Soup, Fish Curry and Fried Kai Lan with Salted Fish) near Tanjung Bungah market. Later, we adjourned to Soo Theng's place for a "21 o'clock" poker gambling session .... with more friends joining us i.e. Nanthini, Alister, Christine and many others ... We ended the evening early at approximately 12.45am as everyone were too tired to go on ...

Friday, 31 August 2007, Malaysia's 50th Independence Day ... we all had lunch together (Soo Theng, Nanthini, Voon Choong and me) at the new Old Town Cafe, located at New World Park.... It was a sumptious lunch and we all enjoyed it very much.

Later in the afternoon at approximately 4.30pm, I went to Traders Hotel (THP) to pick up Nanthini and Voon Choong for our groceries shopping at "7 Street" market. Besides groceries, Nanthini bought herself 3 black beautiful blouses. Went back to Dennis and Voon Choong's place and started our cooking.

Nanthini cooked Tau Yew Bak, while Voon Choong steamed Prawns with Coconut Milk A'la Nyonya (using his mother's recipe), Boiled Chicken Soup with Lotus Roots, Peanuts, Red Dates and Cuttlefish, Boiled Cockles Meat with Homemade Garlic & Chilli Padi Sauce and Fried Beansprout with Salted Fish. Other than that, we have Fried Kai Lan with Prawns and Seo Bak (Roasted pork which we bought from the market).

We ended the dinner with Red Beans Soup made by Nanthini and not forgetting our favorite fresh Longans, too. Soo Theng and her hubby, Jimmy also joined us for dessert.

As usual, after dinner, we played Chor Ti until almost 1.00am and the loser for the game is me and was made to drink red wine and champagne by Dennis ... Face all red and had to be driven home by Dennis ! Shame on me for not being able to drink .....
