Its been a while.
» ‎ Ammoontie

Its been a while since I was able to write anything here. I kept telling myself that I would write something today, but I end up curling on my bed with my new room mate...a Siamese cat. My nephew picked her up from her temporary home (under the lorry) where she has spent four days wondering about. Apparently her previous owner abandoned her or she ran away from home. We never knew. But it is our gain actually since she is a lovely cat and so sweet too. Apart from that, my herbal patch is coming...

Arrow roots
» ‎ Ammoontie

The CNY season brings about plenty of seasonal delicacies. And this arrow root is one of them. Through a recommendation from a friend we bought some arrow roots and made some chips. This is the first time that we tried and tasted the arrow roots. All you need to do is to slice them thinly and fry them. You dont need to add anything to it. It is very delicious and crispy. Tastes sweeter than potato chips. In no time the chips all disappeared from the plates. You could also stir fry them with...

Of rainy days and comfort food
» ‎ Ammoontie

The last few days weather has been moody and it often rains in the evenings. I love it since I dont have to water the plants. Spent the morning clearing up a patch in the back yard and digging some tapioca. Tapioca relates back to the good old days and it was a staple food during the japanese occupation. Life was hard then ( according to stories from our grandmothers ) There was not enough rice so the village folks grew tapioca. Infact the humble tapioca is very versatile. A lot of dishes and...

A postal glitch
» ‎ Ammoontie

This is what the Government claimed of an efficient postal service ! I received a letter which has been opened. It is one of those letter where you tear on the perforated sides. When I received it, I noticed that on one side it has been torn about a third in length. When I turned to the back I noticed that it has been opened on both sides and one could have read all the contents. Looks like it has been done by someone well practiced. Perhaps this person(s) has been doing it often. I think they...

A wake up call ...
» ‎ Ammoontie

When life flashes just before you ... I had a harrowing experience a week ago when the car I was travelling in skidded and came to a halt just in time to stop us from going down. It was a new highway linking it to the airport. We passed a few tolls which were still under trials. The road was badly design and constructed. It does not need an engineer to testify it, any driver would know. PLUS realised about the problems after several accidents had happened at the same spots. Alas they couldnt...

Auld Lang Syne 2007
» ‎ Ammoontie

Every end of the year has always been kind of nostalgic for me. Remembering what had taken place on the very same evening four years ago. How could I ever forget ? It was supposed to be ... A life full of wonderful new developments. The kind of year that brings out all the best within. But things dont always seemed what is being predicted. Joy turned to sorrow. Love turned to hate. Friends turn to foe. It is a year that I would like to forget. A bumpy ride on a dirt road with all the wrong...

Out of the blue an old friend resurfaced. We happened to share the same birtdate. As such I used to send him a birthday greetings but unfortunately we did not keep in touch for a long while until his birthday this year. The last email I had from him, he was telling me that he was very happy and very much in love.So I thought he finally settled down, having kids and living happily ever after. This year I suddenly remembered him and decided to send him a birthday wish. To my surprised a very...
