This just in...

That's it. I'm throwing in the towel, raised the white flag, given up.There's only so much DIY I can do. After switching over to a new power supply, the damn thing still wouldn't hum! So it's a trip to the repair shop for some semi-professional help.Hopefully by the time I get it back next week Repair Man has a black beauty waiting for me. For my dear readers (all 4 of you) , you'd have o put up with the slow update to my blog.

I tried my hand at cookin dinner the other day. It was to be a 4 course dinner. Now I'm no Jamie Oliver around the kitchen, in fact my kitchen exists for purely asthetic reasons, save for the occasional boiling of water and instant noodles. So along the way I had a lot of help from my dear Sis, who's quite the chef from what I hear from her friends...

After a trip to the supermarket, I came up with the following;

Steamed chicken wings marinated in whiskey
Vegetable/japanese mushroom soup
Pan fried white cod with dash of teriyaki sauce
Red Bean ice cream

I'm glad to report that dinner went quite well, my dinner date didn't keel over from my culinary expedition. I wouldn't be embarking on another journey though, and will have to depend on the neighbourhood S-11 for my grub for some time to come...

The Singapore Regatta is just around the corner. Training will be stepped up and the feeling is we should be able to do better than the last season, with more teams entered and qualifying for the finals. So if you're not doing anything 26/27 Nov, head down to Boat Quay for some fun and games. If you like, hang around for the post competition party on the 27th, the guys seem to have that in the bag already...

Will be making another road trip when I get back from work next week. It's Malacca this time. I hear there's not much to see save for some historical sights, but there's lots to eat so it'll be a hoot. Wonder if any kind soul can provide me with more info other than those that I can find on the internet, maybe play local guide for a day??
