NIPS?

October 9th, 2008 13 comments

I don’t know about you, but I find this quite wrong! I took this photo at a gas station in Malaysia.

There are quite a few references to that word, but these are the ones I’m talking about:

Nip may refer to:

  • Nip is a derogatory word for a Japanese person. It is derived from “Nippon”, the Japanese term for Japan. Usage in this context probably peaked around the time of World War II. It is seldom used this way today.
  • Nip Slang for nipple as in “Nip slip”
  • credit: Wikipedia

    Of all words, couldn’t they have chosen a more P.C. name like Chocolate drops or choconuts?

    Taco-licious

    When Lisa was here, she took the time to prepare an authentic Taco meal one wednesday for the whole family + Trip and Yvonne. While we kept Ethan occupied, she was busy working the saucepans and oven with a fantastic spread of stuffings.

    I’ve never really liked Tacos, but ever since that night, I’m a changed woman.

    Check out my masterpiece stuffed with: lettuce, tomatos, kidney beans, chicken, sour cream and chedder cheese. Food Porn!

    5 years

    So we crossed the 5 year mark, this time, I insisted on buying dinner. Since my dinner with Dru, I’ve been raving about La Strada’s amazing carbonara. And since its Wayne’s favourite Italian dish, we got dolled up and went out for a beautiful 3 course dinner.

    Appetisers
    Caprese – Buffalo mozzarella with confit Sicilian cherry tomatoes, basil agar-agar and char-grilled ciabatta bread

    Mains

    Verdict? He loved it. After dinner, we watched Indiana Jones just upstairs at Lido. Verdict? Good movie CRAP VENUE. Am never booking at Lido again, that place has really gone downhill. Or maybe they just haven’t spent the money to upgrade themselves. Seats were super uncomfortable, Oohhh my back!?!

    I think we’ve been together longer than some married couples have :)
    Happy 5 year Anniversary tubs!
