08/09 Season kicks off

Manchester United started off the season with a bang at Wembley Stadium with a comfortable Community Shield win on penalties against FA Cup winners Portsmouth. Stars Ronaldo and Rooney were out with injuries, but Tevez gave a man of the match performance to make up for their loss. Proving to be an unexpected menace to the Portsmouth side was Darren Fletcher, as he was time and again denied by on-form keeper David James. Captain Gary Neville also made a comfortable return to the side after spending the last 15 months sidelined as his team picked up the trophy for the second year in a row.

Came across this plate collection at Shaw. Now even got Gordon Ramsay brand plates, which are going for like 100 bucks each.

Ate at the Pasta Cafe in taka with my mum, it’s by Pokka (Jap brand) so she said must be good. Ended up having the worst tastng aglio olio ever. Too oily too salty too many pine nuts.

I tried squid ink pasta for the first time. Actually doesn’t really have any taste to it, just makes your lips and teeth fucking black. Don’t go to the pasta cafe it’s a bad place.

Bills not paid again so I can’t call or send out msges :(

My new ambition when I grow up is to not want money.

Tuesday

Back to work

Chicken

I don’t know how to fry chicken. I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

Kuching

Cat museum, a.k.a most pointless museum in the world ever.

Kuching, the land of the hornbill, cats, and kolo mee hasn’t changed much. There’s new flyovers, roads, and even a giordano shop now, but basically it’s still the semi-developed, public transport-less, charming old city/town. This time round I went to places which were actually interesting, which is unexpected, to say the least, considering how mindbogglingly boring it always is when I go there. I think for the past 18 years my relatives there conspired to keep me confined to the malls and coffee shops whenever I visited.

Will update on the rest of the trip again when I become less lazy.

I’ll leave you with this picture of the most awesome food ever created.
