Yet another Malaysian eatery

We went to Camberwell Market on Sunday, then started thinking about where to go for lunch. Sam mentioned that there was a Malaysian place nearby, so off we went! Okra has been there for many years now, but it was my first time. Pretty decent environment, but what about the food? Babes had the Sar Hor Fun, while I had the Char Kuay Teow. All in all, rather average lah. I got told off by Babes for ordering such a 'challenging' dish like Char Kuay Teow, but what better way of judging a restaurant then by choosing what to me is a Malaysian benchmark? If it's any consolation, dessert was pretty good, the Okra specialty being an ice kacang-like concoction. It's not somewhere I'd make much of an effort to get to, but if we were ever in the area, who knows. Maybe we could order less 'challenging' dishes, like nasi lemak or something...

Glory glory Man United

I know we've lost the first three matches of the season, I know we've scored just one goal in that time, I know there've been injuries and suspensions, I know we're already five points behind Chelsea, I know there'll be people who will rub it in (yes you, Joe) ... but that's OK. I'm still looking forward to the rest of the season, including late-night Champions League matches when I'll be up feeding my darling baby daughter anyway while my lovely wife gets some much-needed sleep. So hang in there boys, there are millions and millions of fans around the world who are still up for it.

Babes graduates!

One year after Babes started her yoga teachers' training course, I finally got to see her classroom. The graduation ceremony took place last Sunday afternoon, and there we were consuming champagne and hors d'oeuvres while assuming various yoga positions like the warrior and the lotus. Okay, maybe not the yoga positions. Anyway, here are Babes, Nadia and Jannin posing with their hard-earned advanced diplomas. Well done, lovely ladies!

A blast from the past

Bubs and Babes went on a good ol' fashioned date last Friday, with dinner followed by a movie. Dinner was at J Cafe, a simple Japanese place in the city. I've been trying to empathise with Babes and refrain from sashimi, but she was gracious enough to tell me not to bother. Thanks babes, it was yummy! And so was her tonkatsu. Not a bad option for a relatively economical meal.
Did we watch a sensitive, romantic and provocative arthouse film? Nope, we went for the all-action, hard-rocking Die Hard 4.0! I used to love the old John McClane movies, so I was really looking forward to his return. And was it worth the hype? Sure was! Far-fetched at times, but c'mon, it's Hollywood. Two thumbs up! Image reproduced from www.collider.com. In Namewee's words, "please don't sue me, saya takde duit..." But that's a whole different story altogether, which we won't get into here. I haven't made any political statements on this blog, and I don't intend to start now.

Zorbie's a Girl!

Bubs and Babes went for the 19-week ultrasound this morning, and as far as Dr Andrew Ngu can see, Zorbie's progressing well. Then he asked us whether we wanted to know the gender, and of course we did! How else can Babes shop for Zorbie's clothes? Not that not knowing has stopped her thus far, we already got two PureBaby (babies' clothing made of organic fabrics) girls' outfits last week. And sure enough, those outfits will come in handy!
We've also observed that Zorbie's a bit of an acrobat, turning this way and that in the short period of time we watched her on the ultrasound. She's gonna be a sporty lass!
