    Next weekend is nearly here!

    Yeay, only 1 day to go! I'm planning to have my climbing lesson Friday night and Sunday as well. Other than that, we'll be going for thai with some friends and I have to stock up on tropical fruits for our next visitors on Tuesday. Oh yes, and shoes for the 'event' have to be bought as well. Nearly all done though...

    A brief note on today's lunch - since most things here evolve around food, my blog has kind of developed in this direction as well. We went to a chinese vegetarian place and it was awesome! So many dishes to choose from - so I had tofu with black beans, various greens, tofu with mushrooms and roast pumpkins. I started to bring my own rice to work, as its usual to have plain white rice here, and I prefer the red rice, for taste and health reasons.

    Rice cookers are such a handy thing. I soak the rice overnight and in the morning just press the 'on' button. By the time we are ready to leave, the rice is done. :-)

    Another weekend nearly gone...

    ... and this one was quite eventful. Well, on Saturday, I went shopping for the 'event' with a friend, and later on with Troy and we ended up in a cosy italian eatery, having a nice meal. Today morning, we went to play golf with some friends, followed by a very nice japanese lunch at the golf course. As I told myself that I would go climbing to the new gym, about 1 min walk from our apartment, every 2nd day, I dutifully went after golf and totally exhausted myself. Well, my climbing teacher still manages to exhaust me more, but it's only human to not try kill youself, right? ;-) Sunday is also our grocery shopping evening, so I went to the night market and got our weekly load of fruit and vege. Mangosteens (the queen of fruits) are in season :-). Now i am home, very tired (in a good way) and waiting for the chicken curry to be done, that my husband to be has been cooking. Probably will read my book afterwards...
