Monday, Monday…

So how was your weekend?…..Mine wasn’t too good! Well, let me tell you why. When Gerrie had this rich, moist, tempting, alluring, enticing dark chocolate cake…

…I had to be happy with this homemade chai pau (vegetable bun)…

…and while Huai Bin and Clare feasted at Mitsu Tea House, I had to settle for the now-very-diluted beef soup noodles at the coffee shop across the road. Now can anything be more miserable than that? LOL!!! And that’s not all! To appease my craving for nyonya kuihs, I went and bought myself these…

The white ones were quite nice – crushed glutinous rice with gula melaka inside and coated with grated coconut. We call the long green ones kuih lenggang here – grated coconut with gula melaka wrapped in pandan-flavoured pancake-like skin. They were ok too…but good grief! How they’ve shrunk in size! I think they’re about as big as my middle finger now! As for the last type, what we call tinggi salad…but I think, they’re actually called seri muka , it was bad enough that it was not lemak but the texture was like rubber. Definitely not worth the calories! Oooo…how I miss those sold by the old lady at her stall outside the Green Road shops in Kuching! The ones that I’ve tried in Malacca or Penang come nowhere near hers! Slurpzzz!!!! 

Anyway, it’s Monday! I know a lot of people don’t like Mondays…so here’s something that I hope will cheer you up! Please be reminded that this is NOT a political post! I was quite tickled a few “movie promo posters” that an ex-student emailed to me and here’s one of them…..

Well, I have a lot more…but I think I’ll save those for another day, if all of you will behave, that is! No need to get carried away! Just a comment to say whether it made you laugh or whether it brought a smile to your face will suffice!!! Then I’ll consider posting the rest…In the meantime, here’s wishing everybody a great week ahead!
