father's day dinner..

Instead of eating out on Father's Day like we usually do, when the restaurants rip you off and offer only selected dishes on the normal menu, we decided that we'd have a feast at home instead. We had a bunch of my dad's favourites.... BBQ pork from Sam Woo, BBQ duck from Sam Woo (my fav too.. mmm)... and one giant lobster on sale for 6.88 a pound at T&T.

Look at it! It's HUUUUUGE!! The claws were the size of my head.. and I swear, when my mom held it up by the tail (when it was still alive), it went from the top of her head down to her tummy.. it's crazy! That's what 7 pounds of lobster looks like. Surprisingly, the meat was still really tender and springy (chewy??). My mom cooked it the chinese way, chopped up, first boiled, then fried, to give it that authentic chinese restaurant taste. Crazy. It was delicious and I don't even like lobster.

Speaking of father's day... my dad and I had a good laugh the other day about something in the garden.. Specifically about the plant in the picture on the right. So the other day, when Carol, my mom and myself were all outside, my dad asked us the following:

Dad: Do you know what that is??
Mom: A flower
Carol: uhm.. i dun get it
me: *silence*

I had something in mind, but I just didn't for want to say it out loud for fear of sounding idiotic. Turns out, my dad was thinking exactly what I was thinking... So what did we think the it was??? Any guesses???

... A Q-tip fit for a giant... you know, to clean his ears!!!

MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.... my mom just shook her head and said, "Eve, you really are your dad's daughter.".. hahah.. yes. I got his weird sense of humor.. and his giant calves.. thanx dad. *mumble grumble*

So on another note, I'm feeling quite cheerful tonite since I gave myself a night off from studying all things accounting/auditing. And I'm also happy that I'm close to reaching my goal regarding my jogging. I wanted to hit 6km on one of my jogs... and tonite, I did 5.8km.. so I'm getting there.. slowly, but surely. I just have to keep it up.

time for: watching either Emma... or Match Point... or maybe i'll watch both. oooh! overindulgence!
