3 March Tonight I was very lucky to witness two phenomenons at the same time, namely the moon eclipse which does not occur that regularly (the last was 2 and a half yrs ago)... …
*The giraffe in South-east of Netherlands felt cheated that it was taking place so slowly resembling just like a permanent dark cloud cover.. Somewhere 10min away from the giraffe, a royalty is sipping her sparkling mineral water and looking out of her Marconilaan window. A lamb just a little north of Denmark went out in the cold to seek Mr moon but sadly it was covered by the stubborn clouds.
The frog (and maybe the bear too) was determined to seek out Mr Moon in somewhere North-west of Netherlands.
And the other phenomenon was…...
my housemate Umit cooking. and valiantly without armed with oil, garlic, onions, pepper. (for the first time! And maybe the last! Rare sight in a hundred years! AHAH)
Tomatoes, Brinjals and Chicken! It’s interesting to note Turkish cooking sprinkle abit of oil at the top of the contents the last, unlike Chinese cooking when it is added the first.
P.s/ Note the laptop in the kitchen corner. He was voipstunting his mother on the recipe and how to work in a kitchen without causing an explosion. Boys never know how to turn on the stove properly; they ignore the little graphic which tells you which button to which stove – in fact chengwei thought they were little ‘pattern designs’ on the stove, while Umit randomly turn on the gas and aiming fire to the wrong stove! Pengs.)
But I suppose Mums know best cuz it smells good (had to simmer for 30min acc to Mother Umit) and I almost felt hungry again.
However, we started to smell something not very optimistic.
Me and chengwei were worried that the burnt outcome would scar Umit for life and put him forever on a beer and kebab diet so we decided to advise him on how to wash a badly burnt pot (:
