Teaser, Armed Cops & Sichuan

Crazy week!!! This whole week I've been pre-occupied with conceiving and then editing the teaser trailer for 'The Moments In Between'. I finally managed to finish editing it today and here is the trailer for your consideration.



Besides that we had a crazy morning on Friday when one of our flatmates had to call in the cops because she heard someone in our house. There did turn out to be a man in our house and he had armed himself with our kitchen knives. Quick action by the police meant that the intruder was quickly subdued without anyone getting harmed. The incident in detail would make for a whole post {it was about 4 and half pages of writing when one of the cops took our statements about the incident} but that would be sensationalism. The long and short of the story is that pepper spray is nasty stuff and the landlord is getting a second set of front door locks put in.

Last night went to dinner at HP8 {49, Nuffield Street, Newmarket} with Benji, Shuzhen {Benji's girl friend}, Vicky & Vincent {Shuzhen's friends} & Lance. It was an amazing Sichuan meal and it works out very reasonable when you share the dinner amongst many. All the dishes were great but my firm favorite is Spicy Sichuan Fragrant Eggplant. Most of the dishes were not that spicy accounting for various tastes of the group but I did manage to convince Benji & Lance to try Dan-Dan noodles along with me. It was the spicest dish we had and Benji couldn't finish his bowl and also said that he is not going to let me talk him into trying any of my recommended dishes in the future :-). Well worth the visit.

@teaser: snort of enjoyment! more! NOW!

@Amit - In Search of Sichuan: i have NO idea what sichuan is/means but your repeated writing about it now makes me salivate involuntarily.

@intruder: get thee a dog. no, you can't have our dog because she's OUR DOG.

@teaser: thanks!! more in 6 months :D

@david: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szechuan_cuisine to stop the salivating and start the sweating

@intruder: probably a good idea not to be pissed out of your brains while trying to rob a house or just intruding into someone else's house. + property agreement doesnt allow for pets + on my pay - lucky to keep myself fed - having a dog will mean starving myself for it. :-(
