Potluck

We are having potluck tomorrow and the theme is Thai Food. Yooo Hooo....

However, we are having the potluck at my under furnished apartment......dang! Anyways, I have not decided what to cook but this is what I shortlisted so far: 1. Pad thai 2. Thai Eggplant 3. Grilled Fish 4. Beef Salad 5. Fish Cake Well, I think I am required to cook two dishes so its kinda hard choosing from this list. You will know when you see pictures.

My washing machine broke down.....lousy machine.....I only used it 4 times but really after the repairman cam down this morning, its really our fault.

When the Best Denki guy came to install the washing machine, he did say that the drain was too high and that we should saw the drain. However, after 3 weeks of travelling, naturally, I forgot all about it especially since, the machine did fine on its first run.

Bad news, the water in the machine was not able to drain fully and thus obstructed the spinning process and I think that the machine kinda overheated and caused a sort of burnt smell comign out of my washer. Hee hee....

You can totally tell that I am a first time home owner, right? Well, we gotta fail to learn, right?

Tried the much raved (Singapore Brides forum) about Magiclean..the first time I used it, kinda not effective. Maybe cos my place has just accumulated too much dust for it. It did not pick up all my hair like I expected it to.

Anyways, I decided to give it a second try after sweeping my whole house. Its great! the head of the magiclean is so flexible that it can really sweep into tiny crevices. Really have to study how they designed it. This time, it picked up the hair although I had to move over the same a few times but at least the dust does not fly as soon as I sweep. the house felt quite clean. Can't wait to try the new wet wipes....
