"Lou sang" in London

Yee-sang. Before and after..

Hi everyone, after waiting for three months, yes three months in London; my flat is finally equipped with a proper broadband. Amazing how slow things get done here in London or England. You will be surprised. No kidding. We were warned by the Apple Store Genius that we should be prepared it could take months just to get a simple broadband set up, especially if you just moved into a new place without a phone line. I remembered our reaction, we just laughed at him and said, we think between two to three weeks at the most and we should be up and running. Yeah I guess he must have had the last laugh. For once I am thinking Malaysia actually BOLEH, and could beat the English hands down anytime.

So, this means I can finally relieve myself from the painful ten inch laptop that I had been surviving on with the prepaid mobile broadband and continue with my MacBook. I am really pleased!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Chinese New Year and I had a great time, especially after spending Chinese New Year twice or two years being away from home. The atmosphere is so different, so incomparable and nothing beats the CNY mood at home. The family, the friends, the reunion and yes, the great food!

So my aunty Cat decided to get Laughton a pack of yee-sang so he can have a go at it since he missed out CNY in Malaysia this year. We found it in IKEA and it was really good, we couldn't find any raw salmon so we ended up with smoked salmon for the yee-sang. Good consolation for him, I suppose.

Sunday Roast


Our Sunday roast dinner: Roasted chicken with stuffing, cheddar mashed potatoes, boiled broccoli, carrots roasted parsnips and gravy.

The Sunday roast is a traditional British main meal served on Sunday (can be for either lunch or dinner), consisting of roasted meat (beef, lamb, pork, chicken or seasonal meat such as turkey or duck can be used), roasted potatoes accompanied with stuffing, vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and  gravy. 

This meal was probably my best Sunday roast dinner ever and a very good effort by Laughton for preparing such a tedious meal! Looking forward to next Sunday though! But no, I will be in Malaysia!!
