This was last Sunday. Black sesame tantan noodle and pork (kakuni) rice. It was great!

It’s autumn here in Japan. Gradually I am doing some of my gardening and trying to add more greenery at home. I too have my small pot in the office, which I got it for 100 yen with glass pot with it! I went out for flowers just now. Feel to have some autumn colour in the house. As seen in the picture, almost no green. About 1000 yen, Is it cheap? I don’t know, but I have chosen that for the sake of November, the autumn colour.

First time I have this dish with quail eggs. Last time we ordered sweet and sour pork, it was more red-like, today somehow it’s more fried pork-like, and with quail eggs. Depends on mood, huh? Whatever, but it tasted great!

It’s been a long day. Went to 100 yen shop got my gardening stuff. Came back and worked like a dog at the veranda. More pots and plants now. The interior? Let’s see if they survive.

Made apple wheat tea. Served with the two cups just bought today. Supposed to be soup cup. Whatever.

My wife is doing some sewing for some kindergarden’s play. Shion will debut his play next month. What is your role? Mr. Beetle as in “Thumbelina.”

My, Shion is bullied by his Taiwanese kindermate and still can’t say “no” or “stop it.” Can he make it??

I got my ironing to catch up.

Don’t they? Well, if it is in Malaysia, I would think it is very common, but in Japan, though I never thought that there aren’t any fake staff around in Japan, somehow, I would think this is just a typo-mistake rather than a fake t-shirt for kids. What do you think?

This is the photo taken in the flight from Narita to Hong Kong. Shion was completely absorbed in it. I had uploaded all the photos on flickr.com, somehow didn’t have time to put the captions and explaining the photos. Lazy is the objective.

Kids wanted omelette rice for dinner, “so” I bought a “source pen” filled with ketchup and let them drew whatever they like. It did motivate them to finish the meal as well.

Went to a park nearby and found the tree of Akebia. it was full of akebia fruits. Japanese name is called Akebi. Had a taste of it, but it wasn’t sweet, rather tasteless.

Went back home for about 10 days to do my new passport. Believe it or not, I totally forgot about the expiry of my passport, which was last year July. Anyway, I got a brand new passport now, and I am back to Japan last Friday night.

I could have done it over at the Embassy of Malaysia in Tokyo, somehow it might take 3 to 4 months as told. And I wanted a break, and hence the sudden trip back home. Home is always sweet and nice to be back, anytime. Families are always there for you, for your family as well. Everyone reminded me lots of things, which I myself didn’t remember. Like how many annual leave that I got with my first company (8 days!) What a shame! I guess it’s always the case, people around you remembered more of what you said or thought of than yourself. But, one thing I realised too, I don’t remember lots of things of my own, or even details of everyones. It’s not a good thing I know. Can that be improved? I lack of curiosity, about myself, about the world around me. My goodness.

Will try to write more later, hopefully.
