Dundee is Summer (well, for today)

It was over than 22 degrees. Today (Sunday, 03 July 2011) is literally the first time I went out of my house without wearing jackets or pullovers.

The Fruity Salad (Home Recipe)


My wife cooks one of the best salads. I am sharing the recipe here so  you can give it a try at home. Good legacy needs to be shared! 

  1. vinegar,
  2. olive oil,
  3. salt and pepper,
  4. a bit of sugar if the vinegar is not balsamic or apple vinegar. those two are sweet already. 
  5. salad
  6. daun2an (leaves),
  7. buah kering dan kacang/almond-kacang (peanuts and almonds)
  8. pake crutons juga boleh (croutons)
  9. pakein apel dan berry (apples and berries)

Soal berapa banyak salt pepper and olive oil musti dikira2. kalo mau aman, buat di wadah biasa dulu. sedikit olive oil, sedikit vinegar, salt pepper trus coba. Sedikit demi sedikit tambahin sampe pas jumlah dan rasanya. baru siram ke salad.

I guess the difficult part would be in mixing the vinegars and oils and the salt and pepper.

And so, this is the result:

Dundee City-20110701-00396


This one taste good, but I think hers taste a lot better. Maybe it’s the composition of vinegar, salt and pepper. I guess it will develop overtime Smile

Monaco: Get married or become a French Protectorate?


Prince Albert of Monaco's upcoming Royal Wedding is indeed a political necessity for the people of Monaco. That is because, If the Grimaldi House fail to produce a legitimate heir, their country will be succumbed by France, according to this 1918 Treaty:

"Article  3.  His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco, in accordance with the additional articles  of the Treaty of 2  February 1861, 2 confirms  for himself and  his successors the commitment assumed towards the French Government not to alienate the Principality,  in  whole or in  part,  in  favour  of any Power  other than France. 
Should the throne become vacant,  particularly  for lack  of a direct or adoptive heir,  the  territory  of Monaco  shall  form,  under  the Protectorate  of  France,  an autonomous State under the name of the State of Monaco.  In such case, immovable private property,  which has not  been appropriated  for public use and which might accordingly  be  the  subject  of a  private  claim  by the  rightful  owners,  shall  be purchased by the State of Monaco with the assistance, if necessary,  of the French State."
So that's what a Royal Wedding is for, to keep your country from being baked into a croissant! Yeah, better get married soon.. :)
