Doctor doctor...

Man I hate being ill.

Had the flu today so I went to the doctor, and all he did (besides prodding and poking) was to tell me I would get better. Had a prescription which I'm not supposed to use unless I get worse in the next 72 hrs and thats it.

"You'll get better???" - thats it??? no nothing to alleviate my symptoms? I know I'll get better, but I really feel like crap now so can you either (1) make me better faster or (2) make me feel better while I get better... I had no energy to argue with him so I just grunted and left.

How about "Gordon"?

Last Friday, Yen Ling and I went to the live casting of Gordon Ramsay's latest show "Gordon Ramsay's Cookalong Live" :) http://www.channel4.com/food/on-tv/cookalong-live/ We managed to get tickets through a ballot system and were really looking forward to it. I must say, Ramsay was like a energizer battery, jumping up and down the whole time. But the highlight of the night was when he even spoke to me!! (well, it was speaking not in the sense of like having a conversation but rather, he said to me "Hope you enjoy the show") I was grinning from ear to ear and could only muster a nod with a "thanks!", nothing more... like a stupid starstruck teenager like that...

It was really so interesting watching how he cooked, explained and then served the meals. And when it was advertisement time, all the crew scurried to change the utensils, ingredients etc. James Caan and Peter Jones from 'Dragons Den' were also there... Johnny Vegas was the comedian that accompanied Ramsay while he was cooking. It was really quite a fun night. It was too bad though the energizer Ramsay disappeared too quickly after the show so we didn't manage to get any autographs.

If anyone wants to see the replay, I think its on Channel 4's website. It should be available with "4 on demand", YL and I were standing behind Gordon.

Anyway, apart from the exciting Friday evening, we had a very fun weekend as well, on Sat we had a cook-in with the Songs and Phee and on Sun we went to watch JB's Quantum of Solace and after that took a nice stroll along Canary Wharf after a meal at Slug and Lettuce again with the Songs and Phee...
