Yesterday got an urgent document that needed my signature, hence took the company car and drove all the way from Nilai to Cheras (took 45mins!). When i arrived there the secretary told me that she will need the company stamp too! GRR.. WHY CAN'T SHE TELLS ME THIS WHEN SHE CALLED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, so at the end I have to take the document back to Nilai and asked the office boy to deliver it today to Cheras.
However, the company car is a Kenari and has 'Angkasawan' plastered around the car. Must be donated by someone duringt he launching of Malaysia's first space journey! Because of the angkasawan design on the car, i got a lot of looks and turn heads from people as i drove passed. FUNNY!!!!...Well.. this car is very strange to drive. Why? It behaves like a kancil.. but yet when you sit in the car because of its significantly taller 'ceiling' you do feel that the car is bigger than it actually is. There is more leg room because of the height hence your legs won't feel as cramp as in a Kancil. However, because of the same factor, the centre of gravity (well scientist talk.. can't helpt it) is also higher hence making the car unstable.. especially when cornering. But one worse thing is.. you can actually feel the wind resistant. So my verdict? I won't buy a Kenari if i want a new car. So strike out from my "list of cars to buy in the future, if i buy any".. HAAAAAAAAAAA

Haven't been cooking for a long time...
Since I came back to settle at my home-country, I have not been cooking. It is not that I do not like to, but there is no need to. Hee.. plus I am also lazy.. =p
How long I haven't been cooking? Well.. 6 months plus! I have done bits and pieces but not much... let me see... for the last 6 months I have baked one cake, one bread.. did some marinade BBQ food... prepared 2 dishes on separate occasions.. and dumpling, but for 6 months these are really not a lot in comparison to how much I cooked when I was in UK.
I really do miss cooking and hence yesterday I asked mom not to cook and I prepared 2 types of pasta, one is with red wine mince meat tomato based. The other one is a cheat version of cabonara. ^_^
My verdict?..
1) The red wine is not full bodied enough to make the sauce.. but still good i put half a bottle in.. wow.. smelling this when cooking is enough to make me drunk!
2) I need to roast some peppers for the tomato sauce for extra flavour.
3) Without garlic actually made the dish with a completely different taste. Not that it is not Nice.. just different.
4) Shall not do cheat version for cabonara next time. Taste weird. But I don't think any of my family knows. Heh..
5) TTB and hubby loves the cooking.. THANKS!!!!!!! BUT... Don't think mom likes pasta very much. So next time.. stick to chinese cooking...
Will i be cooking soon? Ha ha ha.. not sure.. back to my lazy self now. HA HA HA HA.... but mom was happy yesterday that she doesn't need to cook. So i think i should do it occasionally.
