Bend It Like Beckham?

Last night (or rather, early this morning) I was snooping around online looking at Sim Lim Suare pricelists for computer spareparts like a new CPU to recommend to my dad. I also checked out new speakers, removable hard disks (I might need one next time) and mp3 players for Gaille. Then I told her to check out the ebay page, which had a good offer for the 256MB one. And, within minutes, she just had to bid the minimum to secure it! That was really quick. And I havent bougth anything on ebay yet. Will be following speakers very closely as my dad didn't get me the Creative SBS 370.

I had porridge the whole day. The story begins as follows: I was gonna make lunch. I used Ho Fung's rice cooker and put in 4 cups of rice, but the cover was missing and I onl remembered to find it after a while. So the rice ended up a little hard on the inside and I had to add water. The problem is, I added hot water, and his intelligent pot decided the rice was cooked. I then had to manually "force-cook" the rice by keeping the button depressed with a plug. I asked him to check on the rice as I was going downstairs to do my laundry. Unfortunately, on my return I smelt something untoward... the rice had begun to burn out at the bottom! I berated him cheekily for not attending to the rice ("I checked on it, but there was water on the top." -yeah, but the heat is coming from the bottom!). So I had to transfer the rice to the cooking pot and dish up some porridge myself. It came out good though. And Gaille got to sample it too! With a tripartite platter of eggs: century egg, salted duck egg and the regular chicken egg.

I also watched Bend It Like Beckham over dinner. Not bad, now it has got me interested to catch Bride and Prejudice, also by the same director. Oh, those mosquito bites!* The "Irish" guy also looks quite fit (now don't get the wrong idea!!)..

I also just found out I won something in the Nestle Incredibles promotion. It's supposedly an FM radio. Well, better than nothing!!

*...or juicy mangoes??
