yesterday was Pennapa's bday!!! she's the grand old age of 20+...........? i shant say! hee.
we spent the say @ the British Musuem though, had to go there to do drawings on the Roman and Egyptian exhibits. Yawned so much there, i thought i was going to plop on the floor anytime.

we left @ around 4pm, and was walking down one street when i spotted this Jap restuarant. It's sign said: Okonomiyaki. It's made up of sliced cabbage & batter, with other ingredients of ur choice, & cooked like an omelette. I was soooo excited, i begged Pennapa to go in with me!

Got our ass settled in and drooled at the menu. We decided to share one Okonomiyaki, but choose to have extra topping of noodles. The special thing about this restuarant is that the dish is cooked right infront of you, on this hot stove in the middle of the table. We were given the choice of cooking it ourselves, we nah! Didn't want to screw it up.
The server prepare the batter and poured it onto the stove to let it cook. Me and Pennapa kept poking at it under the lid, trying to catch a whif of the 'i-hope-it's-nice' Okonomiyaki.

Think it took about 10mins to be done, and we were really edgy by then. We were again given choices, to put the sauce on ourselves of let the server do it. Of course we will self-service lah! (so that i can load up on the Bonito flakes, the Bulldog sauce and the oooooh so nice Jap mayo) It was Sooooooooooo nice! Hmmmm...... told myself i will go back again soon. yummie yummie. Okonomiyaki has been going round my head all day, kept mentioning it to Pennapa. Think she will kill me soon. Hee.

Had book-binding class tonight, were i learnt to stitch up page sections, using the French method. Trust me, i never knew making a book was sooooo tiring! I had to fold so many sheets of paper, pack them neatly to let air escape, make measurements, then make pin prick holes in each page section so that my needle and thread can go through easier. Sewed a 12 section book today. *phew* but i have another 15 section book to go next week......

it's 11.17pm now. in 2hours 43minutes time, Britian and USA will start war with Iraq. As much as i don't wish i have to, i pray for the many innocent souls we, as the world, will loose. May God be with them, and hope that their deaths will be quick and painless ones.

now, i go away to do some work and wait for the hour of war.


Lord, forgive our sins.
