Accountancy Presentation

I had a presentation yesterday which went really well, I wrote earlier that I was asked to design an accountancy website but last week I was also unexpectedly asked to design a website offering accountancy courses which is a far more extensive one. So while I was ill I worked on a presentation website. The client wasn’t aware of this until yesterday because I didn’t want to make him promises that I might not be able to keep while being ill. I guess it paid off because in his words: he was chuffed…

We agreed on a fee that made me smile from ear to ear: I now have two websites to finish by the end of this month *hehe* All else is on hold for the moment and I’ll reply to emails over the weekend! Sorry… but I’m sure you’ll understand that this is a great opportunity. I’ve been checking out stock photography online, how time-consuming that is. I know it’s something I need to do but I’d rather spend time on the actual design and build the Flash animations and banners. I so love what I do when I get the appreciation that I deserve.

I sure am a zesty gal today *hehe*

Pancakes, Noodle Soup and Bapao

I’m having serious food cravings lately and I think it’s because I’ve lost so much weight over the last two weeks having to deal with a stomach bug and ear infection. Antibiotics didn’t really work and I was told at the hospital that I need to consider more surgery [I’m so looking forward to that!] I’ll have to have a CT scan done before I’ll make a decision. I still have vivid memories of the last time when they removed part of the bone without my consent.

But jeez those cravings… whenever food is mentioned it’s instantly stuck in my head. Yesterday I was reminded of pancakes for the second time, I haven’t had a bacon/apple pancake ever since I left the Lowlands and I went through each kitchen cupboard to look for a bottle of Wester Stroop. I think I’ve chucked it in the bin, I had no bacon either, just apple so instead I melted some extremely macho chocolate which was a gift and so tasty.

Then Ismoyo mentioned ‘Indonesian Bapao’ on her blog and again I had this instant craving for the wonderful flavours and succulence meat of an authentic Bapao. I wish I hadn’t read those two words because it’s now haunting me and so I’ve decided to make them for lunch this week. Actually make a whole batch and put a few in the freezer. I wonder if I should experiment with shrimp and crab meat, not authentic really but my own recipe: could be very nice…

Guess what… I went to Tesco on Saturday and found out that they’ve started to sell Indonesian products: boemboes [Indonesian spice pastes], satay marinade, kroepoek [prawn crackers] etc. etc. all by my favourite ‘Dutch’ brand. I so hope they’ll get the complete assortment! Oh… and it’s about time I have a proper Mie Ayam this week… *hehe*

What is wrong with me? Please don’t mention any more food on your posts… :P
