Eve........

Christmas is tomorrow! It has been cloudy, cool and wet leading up to Christmas eve, the closest anyone in Malaysia has to a white christmas. I'm watching Star Wars Episode II : Attack Of The Clones for the millionth time now, if this entry seems slightly hard to understand, do forgive me. Seriously, why can't Anakin just do what Obi-Wan tells him and stop suggesting that they find Zam. And why does Zam has to die? A wonderful character she is. Darth Maul too......sigh.

My dinner was close to disaster...almost nothing came up as planned, but like all serials, the ending turned out well. The chocolate cheese cake nearly failed. It ended up super good. The meat loaf too. It was as dry as a bone. I do not want continue further, i wanna watch Star Wars....i'll leave you with photos.

The bone dry meat loaf

Mom made some spiced sauce for it. Simmered the meat in it and made it edible.

Coleslaw.

You see the meatloaves, tempura fish, baked potato wedges and some fried vegetarian rice noodles from noon.

Baked potato wedges with salt and pepper. Tasted ok for something i made for the first time.

Tempura fish.

Marble Cheese Cake. Chocolate cheese.....a near disaster....turned out well, thankfully.

A close up. Named marble for a reason...very nicely layered cheese and chocolate.

Yay...fat boy with a soft champange substitute, papa looking on, diyang and mom scooping ice cubes and a guest! My aunt, mom's eldest sister, thought my cake was good! She had the most helping. Grateful.

My plate.

TsingTao Beer...the nice Chinese beer which is cheaper than water in the mainland. Tasted normal...but i like it. Leftovers in my fridge!

Was watching a Discovery Channel special earlier about the first emperor of China. Emperor Chin Shi Huang Di. If Emperor is Huang Di, does that not make the prefix Emperor redundant? So it is either Emperor Chin Shi or Chin Shi Huang Di. Just wanted to clarify that......heh..... More photos of the tree later...and presents! Can't wait to open them tomorrow morning....Star Wars!
