Trip benchmark

There was so little traffic last night, on the way home, that I was able to actually get an idea of how long it takes without it. From Mt. Eliza to NEC took about 27 minutes, compared with at best 35 minutes in traffic – up to 90 minutes at times. Whole trip, from Mt.… Read more

Chocolate porridge

I did actually finally get the nerve together to try the “mousse” I made. Despite having the wrong consistency, it’s actually very good. Well… was… all gone now. :D After much reflection, research and training, I think I’ve got an idea on how to make it again, but even better… mousse Mk 2. Although all… Read more

Definitely won’t be going back.. pfft. ;) Anyway, it was that whatever it’s called thing – yum cha or somesuch – where they… Read more

Darkzone

So, I’m glad I did write down my thoughts before it went ahead. As expected, I managed to trick myself into having a good time anyway. ;) I was exhausted, and especially after the first game really wasn’t giving it 100%, but it was definitely fun. It was pretty crazy – we were sharing with… Read more
