Settling in…

A few more days and nights in our new place and i think we’re slowly getting used to the additional space that this place has. Sharon and I joked about how much walking we have to do from the bedroom to the kitchen, and how it might become another diet “weapon” as it’ll discourage us from thinking of midnight snacks etc.

TV and cable internet are still pending, and as part of a promo, we'll be getting the full cable channels for the first time since 2005. Sharon gets to watch her Food Network and those home improvement programs yet again.

Stephen Chow Movie Collection

In the meanwhile, we are catching up on all the Stephen Chow movie DVDs that my buddy Ryan purchased for me in China. We even (re)discovered some of the inner-jokes that Stephen left in his movies that could only be possible in a marathon viewing like this. Just don’t ask me to view his CJ7 again!

Just before we settled in, i took a quick video, and it’s available for viewing here.

I'm so glad to have found your blog. We are from Singapore but live in Boise, Idaho. We're making a trip to Seattle next month. I was just wondering - besides the Malay Satay Hutt and Umajimaya - are there any other "local" restaurants or grocery stores we should check out? :)
