Field Football

We played football at the full size field yesterday morning! it was raining the whole night, so the field was wet wet wet .... but it stopped raining in time for us to play "swimming football".

As there was 80% standing water on the field, the ball doesn't go far! splish splash the ball in the water stays in the water! I got splashed by the opponents ... so got a bit wet, but lucky i didnt fall unlike some teammates who loved the run n slide moves!

We scored 2 goals yay yay! (0 to opponents) but game was stopped half time after an opponent hazardly got injured while sliding. Their coach deemed it too dangerous to continue so we won :)

Queen Musical

My next upcoming outing is to the Queen Musical ... actually it's called "We Will Rock You" by Queen and Ben Elton. It's billed as one very successful musical that's been to most major cities around the world. I hope its going to be great!

Nude flights from Germany

German holidaymakers will be able to indulge their love of naturism by taking to the skies nude on special flights being launched this year, a travel company said today.

"In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year," said the founder of OssiUrlaub.de, Enrico Hess. "We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds too."

The flights are aimed specifically at former East Germans, nicknamed "Ossis" in German, who feel nostalgic for the naturism that was authorised and extremely popular under communist rule.

The first nude flights will be a day-trip on July 5 between Erfurt in southeast Germany and the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, which is fringed by white sand beaches.

Tickets cost E499 ($A838) and there are just 50 seats on board the jet.

"All the passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to undress once they are in the plane. But then they will be able to enjoy the hour-long flight in the way God intended," Hess said. The pilot and the flight attendants will however keep their clothes on.

piggy custard bun

This piggy shape custard bun is from Canton-i restaurant, 1 Utama. It's quite cute looking, the hair is some floss and filling is of custard. The restaurant is part of the Dragon-i chain of restaurants, serves dim sum, char siew, roasted pork (serve with mustard and sugar), duck, wanton noodles, rice, congee (there's crab congee), various desserts and drinks. Food is almost the same as Dragon-i without their famous lai mien. The interior is mostly white, pink, and has many mirrors to make the place look larger than it actually is, it has some nice green at the end of the restaurant. 

a-tone-zzz-ment

watched the movie Atonement last weekend, it was one of the weirdest n slowest movie ever ... watch only if u have the urge to see keira knightley in a old fashion swimsuit and her bare back or suffering from imsonia - guaranteed to work as good as pills. the movie is about a little girl liking a guy who likes her older sister; she got used by her cousin causing her to wrongly accused the guy who likes her older sister to goto jail for rape. the guy ends up dying in war and her older sister drowns in a subway tunnel. the little girl lives with her guilt and ends up writing a book on her story. the end.

Xiao lung bao & dessert

Right hand side is the oh-so-famous xiao lung bao at Din Tai Fung restaurant which just opened at The Gardens. Must say its much better than Dragon-I.

On the left is dessert at Champs centerpoint, its a banana fritter ... obviously missing an extra scoop of ice cream, which we had to get from baskin robbins on the ground floor later. Took both photo using my iphone. quality is pretty good.

Ratatouille (Rat-a-too-ee)

A movie about Remy the cute little chef rat who lives in Paris, wants to be a cook and has an adorable fat brother Emile. He's a special rat who can taste good food from garbage (all rats in the colony loves garbage food). He accidently gets a cookbook by master chef Gusteau whose motto is "Anyone Can Cook" and has imaginery visions of Gusteau after his death because of a bad critic by Anton Ego. He gets himself to Gusteau's restaurant and discovers he can control Gusteau's son Linguini (who cant cook for nuts) movement by using his hair to cook. With Remy as cook, Gusteau's restaurant gets great reviews and attracts Anton Ego who is determine to critic the restaurant to its ground. But Remy, with the help of the whole rat colony, conjours the best Ratatouille (a simple traditional french stewed vegetable dish with tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, garlic, onions, pepper and basil) which reminds Anton Ego of his mum's cooking. Ego writes a great review and ends up opening a restaurant La Ratatouille with Remy as head chef. A very entertaining animation movie and the rat is sooo cute!

Pattaya Bangkok

Just got back from bangkok and pattaya over the weekend. relaxing trippy. lotsa nudity, a-go-go pubs, gays, aquas aka transvestites (yes we couldn't tell them apart). i was pretty surprised walking around pattaya coz its quite clean on the main roads and very safe even with all the odd people around, at least the pimps and touts don't haress u while u r walking around.
the food is great! the picture is a kebab store by the side road which is delicious. there's a beef, fish ball noodles store in front of a 7-eleven which was good and its chilli was crazy hot till ur lips and throat burn with just a small spoonful. nightlife is definitely not to be missed ;D ... shopping was soooo good, coz there were sales! siam paragon and centralworld shops were all having sale on branded goods and of coz JJ (chatuchak) market is still as good ... kinda lost my way in the market had to get a map just to get out of the place, khao san road has good buys as well as lotsa pubs! pratunam market is next for bargains and a yummy chicken rice stall while patpong night market shopping is on the high side but its a-go-go pubs and backlane "unseen" shows make it very interesting. tip: just don't follow any guy with plastic cards to backlanes coz its not the safest thing to do! rode the tut-tut twice in night (we vowed that's the last time) coz our tut-tut ran 3 red lights and cornering was sooo scary! the cab is definitely safer and at the same price, take the cab! Oh don't forget to visit the lamborghini and ferrari stores to view the super cars on display at siam paragon ... the cars are sooo nice.
