Haven't been posting for a while. Lazy. Why else?

New Year New Resolutions. I don't think I make any last year. But this year I want to start on a healthier life-style. Hopefully I'll be able to influence my kids to follow me. I've already joined California Fitness Club last month and I've been going qute regularly. About 3 times a week. I even signed up a personal trainer 'cos I'm not familiar with the gym equipment. I want to learn to use the machines properly. I am serious about getting myself in shape! Gu said California Fitness is a gay pick-up joint. Yet to meet one.

Last year has been quite hectic. But generally everything went fairly smoothly. Whatever problems I faced at the beginning of the year were more or less resolved. So I had a peaceful Christmas and New Year weekends. The long weekends were great.

Gu and the gang came over on Christmas eve. It's been kind of a traditional thing for us since we first met in 1997. This Last (since it's already 2007) Christmas, I decided to roast my own turkey. Couldn't find fresh turkey so bought a frozen one. Took 4 days to defrost that frozen chunk of bird. I marinated it oriental-style using five spice powder, soy sauce, sesame seed oil and basil. The turkey turned out pretty good for a first attempt... juicy and tender. I made fresh cranberry sauce, cranberry relish, roasted spicy pumpkin soup, shepherd's pies, apple pie. My friends brought dishes too so we had plenty to eat.

The rest of the week was relatively peaceful. Just the way I want to end the year.

Happy New Year!
