The Saga Continues

Just to finish off where I left off in my last post. Remember I was dreading what my brother-in-law Shu-yu was going to have for dinner? Well, he came along with my wife and daughter to have dinner at a local eatery. Why? Because her mother only cooked enough rice for herself only. I actually saw only one bowl of rice with meat and vegetable being kept warm in the cooker. When my wife questioned her mother why didn't she cook for your son, her excuse was the food she cooked was overnight stuff. Hello, you can cook fresh stuff for your son or take him out for dinner! Hello, ever heard of motherhood or motherly love? How can you not cook for your own son, who is mentally disabled, and only cook for yourself?

When we went to the local eatery and order the food, I never seen Shu-yu ate so quickly. He was hungry, and his mother knew he was hungry, but didn't even bother to cook for him. Why, why, why? I just don't understand it. What a piece trash my mother-in-law is. I can't believe it, so speechless...man, I think I am zoning out just thinking back what happened yesterday.

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long. Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city. It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding. Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days. But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack. FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
