Manic Tuesday
The day started slow, but it slowly reached a crescendo. And I am tired now. It’s nice to look at photos posted on tumblr. Some of them are quite beautiful.
Today’s Japanese word - Gomen’nasai - I’m sorry.
Pasta
We made some yummy pasta tonite. Need to sleep early and wake up early tomorrow. The Japanese word of the day - Dōzo - Please, when offering.
Things are falling in place
We finally arranged all the books on the book shelf. And everything looks wonderful.
Slowly, things are falling into place. There’s still lot more stuff that needs to be done in the house.
Moving on, the Japanese word of the day is - Hai, genki desu - Fine, thank you.
Tired and Sleepy
Had to assemble a book shelf today. Bloody hard work that was. The book shelf looks good after it’s done. Had fried eggs with toast.
Now, the Japanese word(s) of the day - O genki desu ka? - How are you?
More pasta
Was had at La Bella Italia today.
Friday night at Mojo
Me and she went out for dinner at Mojo on Bond St. I had the pasta with basil pesto and feta. It was yummy. She has a pizza with parma ham.
Today’s Japanese word of the day - “Pasuta”. Fairly obvious meaning - “Pasta” :)
Visual Design
Visual design is as important as having a functional product and many programmers seem to conveniently ignore that.
Often, that’s the difference between good products and awesome products.
Anyway, today’s Japanese word is “Oyasuminasai” which means “Good Night”, said before going to sleep. Oyasuminasai.
Learning Japanese
I plan to learn a Japanese word every day. I will keep posting the word I’ve learnt daily along my blog post. Let’s see how that goes ;)
The first Japanese word we start with, obviously is “Konnichiwa”, which means “Hello” in Japanese.
All Systems OK
Today was a pretty normal day. Not too much stress and not too much excitement either.
(Learning) Snowboarding is hard on the knees
Another interesting day at work and at home. Body aches after all the snowboarding during the weekend. I should alright tomorrow.
Oh and a happy Eid-ul-Fitr to everyone.
Skiing and Snowboarding
And we’re off to do some skiing and snowboarding at Mt.Ruapehu over the weekend.
Whero Peas curry
Steam the peas first. We usually do it in a pressure cooker.
Next, heat oil in a saucepan and fry some chopped onions, tomatoes and couple of green chillies. Add a pinch of turmeric powder, red chilli powder (to your taste), cumin powder and coriander powder. Mix all the ingredients well.
Transfer the steamed peas along with the stock into the pan and let it simmer. While that’s...
Food Inc
We had wonderful food at Food Inc on Wakefield Road along with some wonderful wine from Hawkes Bay.
Tumbling
I moved my self-hosted blog to tumblr. Of course, I just the moved the domain over to see how this goes. I hope this will be permanent.
