  who wouldn't?
  
  for you.. if you have $25,600, can put in some more and get a Hasselblad
  
  
  
  btw, are micro-sized little remote controlled cars okay?
  
  both the controller and the car are about the side of a watch face...

  I dunno pretty heavy But it's not like I'll be tossing it around, it'll remain safely on the stove
  
  I'm also lemming a new skillet, something smallish 24cm.... good for weekend breakfast fry-ups

  yeah.. heavy woks are good for staying on the stove..
  
  i tend to toss things in the woks and a heavy wok is a pain to me.. especially with a messed up back like now
  
  anyway, i'll probably be using the huge heavy armour-plated wok soon..

  Why do you have to toss when... you have a ladle? Didn't know you had such a love of the theatrics of cooking Those big flumes of fire give you a high issit?
  
  I chickened out on the iron woks, I saw some hard anodized ones.... sold out for convenience of a non-stick
• the Bear

  5 Dec 07, 11:55

  no lah.. it's actually easier to get a quick mix of the ingredients with the tossing
  
  mostly it's the veggies.. but that being said, i've not done stirfry for ages.. i think i've lost whatever little skills i had anyway

  wow you all got such long wishlist....
  
  i only have 1 wish.... $$$$$$$!!!
  
  
  so i can get all the rest of the stuffs i wanted
• the Bear

  5 Dec 07, 12:33

  i'll probably go pray and ask for 2 things:
  
  knowledge so that i can get the things i want
  
  wisdom so that i know if i should get them and what i should do or not do with them

  I think I'm going to get the hubster this:
  
  http://www.homedics.com/homedics/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=QRM-400H&categoryId=110&fixedCategory=
  
  While I'm on the subject, did you know that that OSIM brand is quite big time here now? Wah, I've seen various models in many US mail order catalogs listed for thousands of dollars. To think I used to work in the office next to theirs when they were hawking piddly stuff.

  Wah! That looks sweet! You know, I bought that Tiger wok from Tangs during one of my visits back home. I hauled it back in my suitcase. I was expecting it to be this super duper wonder wok but, haiz. Maybe it's my lack of kung fu or that the demostrator's wok was super seasoned but to this day, my wok cannot do what I saw during the demo. Haiz.

  What a nice wifey you have! You know, I used to pay no mind to those 24 hour tailors. If I had access to a good one here, I'd have some shirts made for the hubster too. Show pics of your tailored shirts hor.

  i can't stand wearing non tailored shirts liao. the only exception is ted baker. the fabrics he has are beautiful.
