New for Old...

Sat 230509

Yup, the theme today is New for Old. And it's firstly a New week for everyone, right? And yup, another New COD (Chef's Off Day) is here!

But before we go into that, there is now a New scene before the eyes of Lot 10 OFH inmates. Yup, the New housing development is entering its final stages. Although expected by its New owners to be ready by April ie last month, it appears to be kinda delayed now but should still be ready before its official date of completion, namely October, 2009.

The New scene that greets us from our main front door...

See the difference? Mind you, it was vacant padi land before all that...a New concrete jungle now!

Sorry, no more greens & trees...no more Gunong Jerai in the distance on a clear day...

One more New thing...this is inside Lot 10 itself. Yup, a New tap has just been installed. It replaces an old one for the basin in the common rest room ( toilet cum bathroom...hehe...). It's now easily operated by both old & young...yup, just by pushing the lever control from right to left & vice versa. We had to turn & turn clockwise or anti-clockwise for the old one...not for aching bones!

This was the OLD...ready to be put to rest...
And then, on the right, is the New, shiny modern one! What a diff, right? And yup, that's what money can buy...supposedly solid brass & chromed @RM45!!

And now there is the New COD today...

Breakfast was in as usual. No big deal. Bread & oats. However, the "Super"man then headed for...where else?...but another Super or rather the same ole Super, namely Tesco Mergong which is still the best place for walk-arounds in Alor Star...to pass time in cool comfort.

Well, that walkaround was not for free though...almost RM80 was kindly "donated" by this ole couple.

Lunch was at a place we rarely go these days. A New place? Nope, not really. It's the ole Lee & Lee's Noodle House...just slightly opposite Star City Hotel. And yup, yummy noodles with BBQ meat & shrimps. We also ordered a side dish of really tasty stewed roasted chicken feet, complete with crunchy bean sprouts! RM14.30 including drinks .

Dinner? The secret is no secret this time around. Yup, it's gonna be at Lot 7...with our fav Sate! We missed our monthly Sate affair...somehow we forgot this regular item last month. So it's kinda a New venue for this month...ha ha!

Cine Nite? Now that is really a case of "your guess is as good as mine...." cos me really not know what movie would be the Chef's choice for the evening at the home movies. It will certainly be a New movie. Not to worry though...cos it's not the movie that counts...that makes it a good evening but the mood & the company...

Ok..enough of the boring stuff. Do have a good weekend for yourself too, ok?

The movie for Cine Nite was "Slumdog Millionaire". Great movie. Great storyline. Touching. Probably true to life in India. Try to watch it if you haven't. And yup, the evening was just great!
