The Other Half called me at 1 o'clock today while I was driving telling me, "we've got the tickets!". I pun terus lah rasa seronok when he said that. No, it's not plane tickets to our next holiday destination unfortunately :-). If I tell you what kind of tickets we just acquired, memang lah akan kena gelak ramai2 sebab baru lah you all akan tau betapa nerdy nya and poyo nya and ancient nya we all ni, hehehehe.......


But I don't care what people think of us actually, we still think we are cool (in our dreams perhaps, hehehehe). Tickets yang we all baru dapat tadi are for Simon & Garfunkel concert here in Perth in July nanti. I know it's still along way away but the tickets were all sold out after only 10 minutes of them being sold online. Punya lah ramai kan yang 1 gang dengan we all yang nerdy and poyo and ancient kat Perth ni kan, hahahaha. All you young people out there might not know who Simon & Garfunkel are but the Other Half grew up listening to them and I started to get to know them in my teens so memang lah we all ni minat sangat dengan all their songs. Tu yang beria sangat nak pergi their concert tu :-). I bet semua yang pergi concert tu pun nanti sebaya or older than us aje. Entah2 ramai yang pergi concert tu usia2 yang pakai hearing aids dah, hahahaha. We might be one of the 'young' ones there :-).


Our dinner tonite, roast potatoes n sweet potatoes, baked chicken wings and multicoloured salad. I love it when my salad has so many different colours, rasa tertarik betul nak makan because of the colourful veges :-).


To Mira yang mintak recipe rice pilaf and butter chicken. I bagi the link to the original recipes ye but I tak lah ikut abis sebab takde a few things. Biasalah kan I,mana boleh tak tokok tambah :-).

Rice pilaf
- I tak letak daun kari and pistachio sebab takde. And I cuma letak sebatang aje kayu manis. And fenugreek tu halba (I baru tau you, hehehe).

Butter chicken
-I ganti chicken fillet tu dgn chicken drumsticks and masak lama lagi dari dlm recipe to make sure drumsticks tu betul2 masak. And I added diced brown onion with the grated ginger.

I tak minat sgt Simon n Garfunkel ni. I think lagu yg I suka dari diaorg ni bridge over trouble water n sound of silence je lah.I lebih cenderung ke British rock, pop n punk/new romantic.Siouxsie n the Banshees, Altered images, Adam n the ants, Queen, Who, Duran2, Madness etc. Kalau folksy tu I minat Cat Steven. American folksy type ni tak suka. Tp yg I paling tak suka langsung, country n western. Lebih2 yg betul2 country n western tu. Kkdg kat sini pun ada style gitu kan, siap ngan line dancing ke apa.

Mira,
westlife tu lagi cool dr S&G which means u r way younger than me,hahaha....

Lynna,
only 'old' people say S&G are cool, wahahahaha....Nerds go to Starwars convention, I'm not that nerdy yet lah :P. Tak kuasa lah I nak bawak budak2 tu pergi S&G concert. Kalau concert Wiggles ke, High-5 ke lainlah, hehehehe

Nora,
Kalau Cat Stevens buat concert kat Perth ni, I pun gerenti pergi siap bawak budak2 dua orang tu lagi! I pun can't stand the true blue country n western...But Keith Urban tak kisah sgt pulaknya :-)

Mommy Mica,
Ini lah 2nd time I gi concert in my whole life u, nampak sgt kan betapalah tak cool nya life we all ni,hehehe

somuffins,
I'll cry together with you, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

Ana,
Tak padan dengan tua kan,hehehe

LG; i never heard abt the S&G tu at all..uhuk uhuk how outdated am i..walaupun tak sure we are in the same "batch" or not..(am 40 this year u)
most of the time from ur stories tu yg i baca, u always have western food..tak jelak ke...n kenyang ke..oops how curious i am ..sori.saje nak tanya.
Banyak nye soalan..lagi satu je..kenapa x der citer2 pasal parents-in law u.I rasa sejak i explore ur stories from the beginning x der pun citer psl tu.Yelah sesekali nak tahu gek mcmana le bermakpak mentuakan orang putih..soriiii

wah...LG thanks for the links... rasa nak try lah that butter chicken. kalau mkn ngan nasik tomato cam sedap jer....

Flower said...

I ada gi tgk Cat Steven masa dia dah jadi Yusuf Islam kat Masjid Shah Alam many2 years ago. Masa tu tak silap dia nak promote cd baru dia dan bagi a bit of religous talk. My first impression masa tu, boleh tahan gak rupa dia, tp bodyguards dia lagi handsome. :)

potpetmama,
I lebih kurang yr age jugaklah :-).I guess I know S&G well sbb my hubby minat them tu yg terlebih tau :-).Tekak2 kat rumah ni more to western food so memang tak jelak lah even though hari2 makan and memang kenyang lah for us :-). My entries mostly about just us, our family of 4 aje, tu yg 'malas' sikit nak cerita about in laws or my extended family, hehehe..

Mrs.FHM,
sedap aje makan dgn nasi tomato tu but klu u suka pedas, kena lah tambah cili sbb butter chicken ni mmng tak pedas langsung!

Nora,
wakakakaka, you pergi concert Yusuf Islam bukan gi dengar lagu dia ye, pergi sekodeng bodyguard dia :P
