why wy?

Char kway teow weekend went well, and yes, there was lard involved.
My housemate Nick actually held the bowl of rendered fat upside down, and the spoon took 3 seconds to fall away. All that was missing were the bloody cockles, which we couldn't find. And the sweaty singlet and towel that the hawker wears.

And, being in a country where fermented grapes are cheap, we had champagne with char kway teow. Perfect. I guess there's a first for everything.

A girl from Tasmania just got married to the Danish crown prince over the weekend. The usual rah-rah, but this has got to be the funniest bit. They televised the ceremony live, and the Danish commentator introduced the bride's brother like this: He's some sort of engineer who works with digging, I guess you could call him a gold-digger.

Exams are coming up, though I am getting stressed about not feeling stressed. I fear the whole thing will be like a rollercoaster ride, by the time you start screaming, the ride is over.

And I bought a car, a cutesy toyota hatch. It looks like a 1.3 although it's a 1.6. And it's manual without power steering. Must get used to switching gears again.
