took half day leave today to settle some banking transactions... right after lunch, i left office for the bank... when i arrived at 2.00pm at the bank, I hv the waiting no. 1512 and the current number was no. 1475... means another 40 ppl b4 my turn...
what will you do if you are in my situation? to wait there or not to wait huh? i hv no choice but to wait since i oledi took half day leave & i must settle my car loan, buy bankers' cheque for my new house MOT, get my ATM card replacement(yup! i misplaced it & i still believe that the old ATM card is still laying somewhere in my house... hehehe) and oso to apply for internet banking (hopefully it will ease my banking transactions without needing to take half day leave to settle banking matters)
right after banking(which eventually lasted till 3.00pm!), i went to "pasar borong" to buy some ingredients to cook dinner for hubby... reason: my dad-in-law sent my mum-in-law to a wedding dinner at KL(hmm... wedding dinner on a FRIDAY... very special indeed but it will definitely cause much trouble to the working group of ppl)...
so, i managed to buy salmon steak (after visiting the 2nd "pasar borong"), mushrooms & brocolli all in less than 10 minutes since i oledi had the rest of the ingredients at home namely spaghetti, pasta sauce & crab stick...
gave my mum a short call to find out how to cook the salmon steak... as my mum said : "just slowly grill it on a non-stick pan without using any oil or salt or pepper"... sounds easy huh?
well, i started cooking... actually more of cutting & preparing the ingredients at around 5.30pm... mum-in-law help me to clean up the brocolli... hehehe... u know-lah... i am not the "cooking" type of person...
after one hour, i hv almost finish half of the cooking(fried some potatoes, boiled the brocolli, prepare the pasta sauce etc...)... but hubby worked OT lor... so, by the time hubby arrived back from work it's 8pm liao... dinner is served when i finally finish grilling the salmon steak... this is the first time that hubby & i hv dinner at home just by the two of us & eating my home cooked dinner... hehehe
after a few couple of hours preparing, cooking & washing the dishes, one conclusion is : it feels good to cook for your love ones... no matter how much time you spend preparing the meal, it's worth it!

HALO! Well what to do? Take number liow so have to still wait right? And its really a good thing for e-banking, but still not very sure how is security measures in M'sian banks is unlike the ones in Europe! Anyways, its always good to cook for your love ones. At least if you do make something new they'll be one first ones to be the eating any of your experiments, like my hubby.. hehehehehe...... And also must finish ALL! ;) Like that we can stay creative even in kicthen right? Be housewife is no easy task ler. Some more have to work and come back cook & clean ler.... But we do it because we want to and not because we have to like the yesteryear women lor.
shanny, thanks for the comment...! e-banking surely ease our life but still there's a limit to the security wise...
hmmm... i guess me & u are in the same boat... to experiment with cooking... of course with our hubby as the "white mice"... hehehe
