Two in one

Yesterday, I still had to work half day from 11am-3pm. But, I got no complaints- at least I could go back at 3pm. Some of my colleagues needed to work until 7pm...hehehe..

And as usual, before I leave office, I needed to make sure that the last person to leave at 7pm has the office keys to lock it, and reminded him to come in early on Wednesday to open the office again. Somebody got to do it, right?

Then, I drove off to Raub. I was really hoping that the traffic would be good, thank god, the trip went smooth especially at the toll - there was no queue at all!

So, from 7pm last night, 31st Dec till today 4pm, I was with my relative in Raub. I had promised to accompany here to 'celebrate' the coming of 2008. The pictures will explain our activities for the past 24 hours.

I was busy frying the black pepper and preparing the potatoes.
While my cousin prepared the marinated meat and sausage.
She also prepared the seafood.
Before that, she had made 'potato skins' for us.

This is when the mayonaise went into the cubes of potatos, sausage and onions.

Ready to be served - the yummylicious potato salad.
Wings on fire!
The bird's eye view from her apartment. Nice, cosy and can cuci mata...hehehe

Dinner is served!

We also had lamb chop, crabs and squid. Yeah!!! What a way to celebrate New Year last night - with good food.
Then we decided to watch the DVD - it won't be complete without pop-corn, right? And we are all prepared - we made it on our own!
It started popping.
It's very interesting to watch from an empty pan, slowly the volume of 'popped' pop corn increases
Yeah....now everything has 'popped'. After we covered it with a light layer of caramel syrup, it was ready to go!

And to start off 2008, we watched Indecent Proposal! (Well, I didn't agree on the movie but it seems that she was in a very 'emotional state' and wanted to watch something romantic - I would prefer Coach Carter actually)

And today, we had an excellent brunch - battered fish (fried), toasts, scrambled eggs and home made chips. Couldn't ask for more!

I got to stay focus . I got to really stay focus. Arrghhh.....The 1st day of 2008 itself is seeing me eating non-stop. Maybe I'm stress. Yes....I think so. A few more days to go for the results. I'm praying hard that everything will be ok.

Btw, SD - I've done your 2008 tag above.

Maybe I should put into my new year's resolution - no more doing any tags...hehehe.....
