Went to Spotlight to buy yards of lace cloth, cut them up into regular pieces and clip them on the window grills. Saved me a couple of hundreds $$, laces could still let the light in while shielding prying eyes. Luckily the stuff told me about those ring clips, or I would be sewing stud buttons on the laces (silly idea!) If you're wondering how much the curtain cost, it's $60 for all ten panels of my windows.

Domesticated
You know you've been domesticated when your heart aches when your sun-crisp clothings get drenched in a sudden downpour. That's the sign you've become Aunty. I've never used to fully empathize with aunties telling me - oh how their sun dried clothes got wet, until I go through weeks of washing, cleaning and regular chores. So far, it has been fun being a homemaker as I get to explore some culinary skills although it still takes me a rather long time to make dinner. Well, I should take heart that Brendan & Pam said the food was good, and my Aunt Helen was surprised that I could cook curry too. (with all those pre-mixed paste, who couldn't?!) But what I liked most about cooking is to play around with sauces & spices, as well as to put two unlikely items together; like I've spread garic butter onto wanton skin, fold them into triangular quarters then deep fry. It tasted so good, and it was an interesting dish too. I make Brendan guess what I've put inside but he couldn't guess it even after munching on five of them (!!!!!) Until I told him then he enjoyed the dish. (???) Well, I've always had a sharp tongue so I've always liked rich flavours.
Wasabi Prawns, Garlic Wanton, Lemon Juice for a dash of zest.
