ANZAC tourney

ANZAC badminton tourney came and went. It's been 2 years since I last played the same tournament with Mark. I must say, he is the most patient person ever in terms of accepting my flaws on court. We got bye-ed and ended up in quarterfinals. Or so I was told as I am always someone who just hop on and off court when required. Good fun and as what I have expected. Although there are always lots of room for improvements. Just wondering whether I might be hitting the wall when it comes to getting better in badminton?

I need a new racquet btw. Mine is broken and now am using one of Mark's on long-term loan.. ;p The pics showed the emotions of players during different sets of games. Any objections let me know.

FOOD

As they say - home-cooked food is always the best. Of course this is not a blanket statement to all, however for me, the statement is 99% true unless dad decides to concoct up some sour-ish paste/sauce which has non- identifiable ingredients in it.

A few friends and acquaintances came and gave us some free-range hunted meat.

Two months back, from down South came 8 huge-size fresh abalones, a huge salmon, 6 blue cods and half a bag of mussels. Recently, from the Westcoast came half a lamb (yearling) and half a deer. Also from another farmer in the Westcoast, came his free-range pork and bacon. Dad took about 2 hours to chop up the lamb and deer to be packed into our freezer and some to be given away to other friends.

The abalones were cooked with shitake mushrooms and above-said pork, stewed to tenderness.
The lamb and venison was of course, roasted. I have to admit the venison has a very strong flavour to it considering it was wild. But hey, at least it is fresh meat and with more wine and herbs and grilling on the top, it is no wonder I heart RED meat.

The new ZORB~

Been a while since I wanted to do something about my hair. Ever since my cheap JPY700 hairstyle back in July last year, I was never really satisfied with the way my hair is growing and the compromising trims and cuts to my Nelly Furtado wannabe hair.

I had the urge. The urge to chop off all my hair so what better way to do it than to have a stylish BOB. Then you see all the media frenzy on Posh Beckham and her "POB" - Posh's bob. So I thought it would be nice to have the Victoria Beckham wannabe hair this time round.

Resulting the below ZORB - Zan's bob (get it?? hahahahah)
