Hertford, Lost and Found
April 3rd, 2009

What is Long Haul?

It wasn’t that I’ve skipped my mum’s pigeon soup, I just don’t like the feeling of getting into a flight. To describe it, I was like a goldfish, put in an aquarium, leave it on a 10-wheels trailer and haul it for 14 hours. Yeah, that bad! Obama on his visit too, happen to arrive at the same airport. I didn’t run into him in the airport…

Free but Lost…

Carolyn said to me, ‘this is planned…’. Bandit, 16 year old long-tailed parakeet (bayang nuri), lost its freedom in England, was so excited to see me around- probably because we are from the same hometown. We lost Bandit in the cool spring, and hope it manages to find the way back ‘home’…

Deer Cross Town

The name Hertford is derived from the Anglo-Saxon heort ford, meaning deer crossing (of a watercourse). Sounds familiar? Our mouse deer in Malacca not just cross the river, but even pushed a dog into the river. We cycled down the Ware using the Lee Valley route, which eventually leading to London too. We had a quick city tour too! :)

Malaysian Curry

I cooked a meal for Carolyn today. Thanks to my sister who got me the A1 paste. Yummy! We went to a small group gathering, sort of like an action group for the Green Drink. They are discussing about turning Herts to Transition Town. The two-hours meeting is fun, except the walk back home is just too freezing cool!

Pin, what’s your address?

I mail you A1 Bah Kut Teh’s ingredients! Sure your host will come to Malaysia with you after that.

@Ammie, curry so yummy. We havent got time to take a picture before we finish them :)

@Yowchuan, my host will like it. I am inviting her to visit Malaysia- she is active in some movement on climate change. She might be protesting in Malaysia for illegal logging when she get here, kidding…
