Dear all,

It has been ages since I last set pen to paper here (figuratively speaking). It has been a busy month, with the Eid festivities, going to Kuantan and starting work again.

Luckily today I have some extra time to put in a short one.

I have been struggling to think about what to write, especially as I read other people's blog that are so much more interesting than mine. Mynn with his shooting practices, Ikelah and DITH with their dinner intrigue. I wonder what I can talk about that can add to our discussions and give some meaning.

Any way, I have given up trying to think of meaningful topics to talk about so I am just going to shoot from the hips.

First is on the US mid term elections. I really wish Bush gets handed a defeat. However, the Republicans are spending billions in their campaigning so we will see today how it goes.

Secondly I feel there are not many worthwhile movies this year compared to before. Maybe the creative juices have gone out of hollywood, remaking old classics instead with the hope that the new younger audiences are fooled into buying recycled goods. How many remakes like Texas Chainsaw Massacre can one take? Apparently a lot as I think they are on number three now.

I have this craving for beef stew.. so hopefully we will get the proper ingredients to cook one soon.

At the moment I am excited about how to plan the kitchen at the Kuantan house. If there are any good kitchen designers in Kuantan please shout up. We really want to use you. We are also getting excited about when we can start furnishing the house. Hmm what styles would be great?


What games are cool now? I have a sudden desire to spend some time building armies and crushing the enemy hehe..

Regards

yum yum
no blog update is complete without a comment on food IMO, muahaha :)

i disagree about interesting movies; true there are many sequels but there are so many movies i really want to see but haven't had the chance: to name but a few Cars, Over the Hedge, Dead man's chest, Talledega Nights, Monster House, actually there are many others that I have even forgotten the titles. right now especially with two small uns, visits to the cinema has greatly diminished (unfortunately)

wow, bestnya design rumah - especially the kitchen. to me what i look forward to designing is my office, study room and audio video room, hahaha. whoops, also the prayer room (had to squeeze that one in).

Akum Mynn,

Hehee.. About the movies, the trend is to go CG, so jadi benda normal... no longer special.. as for those other movies, light affairs that can be dloaded or wait for the DVDs.. nothing really2 big like next year.. Transformers...

Superman was a letdown sikit.. not like Batman Begins.. tu memang wow.. I saw that four times

Hehe..of course.. food is good.. but I reallly want to get back in the habit of playing RPGs or RTSes.

Tukang design kitchen banyak tapi takut tak berkenan di hati. Budget berapa? Kalau budget berjuta lemon, nak suggest kedai kat MegaMall tu, fuhh best kitchen dia. Kira kalau masuk dapur tak nak keluar dan terus rajin masak, hehe...kalau nak yg murah adalah boleh rekomen tapi kalau tak best jangan marah!

Orangkilang said...

berjuta rupiah adalah.. hehehe.. lemon boleh cari.. yang penting design kena lawa.. dari situ baru boleh tgk duit.. kalau tak cukup... rob a bank.. hehehe

dekat traffic light jambatan tg lumpur, opposite BMW showroom ada seberang jalan bernama kedai Total Kitchen. katanya ok design dia... i dont really know.

kalau nak murah dan design ala sijiless but a carpenter with his own factory, harga reasonable and KSH and the consultants buat renovations pada suite masing masing, ada this chinese guy husband to my nurse di A&E.

kalau nak yang ada jual kitchen sets and dia juga design kitchen cabinets, di jalan lim ho lek satu row dengan fiat showroom.

why not you design, make a draft, determine the material dan jumpa tukang....mcm husband nurse KSH, murah sikit kut.

selamat membuat dapur.
