Driving directions can be fun

And sometimes inaccurate, or overly long. :P

Case in point: Getting to the PRO Sports Club from my house. I'm going there this afternoon for my orientation appointment, and I was researching how to get there.

Going by the shortest distance (the option I'd normally choose when planning a cycling route), it goes like this:

Total distance: 1 mi
Estimated time: 3 Minutes

( Shortest distance )

But when choosing shortest time (the option that'd make more sense for cars), it goes like this:

Total distance: 1.6 mi
Estimated time: 3 Minutes

( Shortest time )

There are some other similarly funny/long routes, including some scenic drives/cycle rides to Maple Valley (which is towards the south of Washington state). I might or might not decide to try one of those, but if I do, I'm definitely going to tell someone where I'm going. ^^;;;

I'm not an Iron Chef...

But I like to think that I can cook decently for two. :P (The title of this post came about because itsacz was watching Iron Chef America on the Food Network while I was cooking. ^^;;; )

( Recipe )

Changes from the recipe:
- There weren't any red chillies at least not that I could find, so I used mild green chili instead. itsacz commented that I could have used the chili padi or Thai chili, or even the extra-hot orange chili instead, because it was somewhat mild for him.. ^^;;;
- I didn't buy any spring onions because I couldn't be bothered to cut them, and I had a bag of salad leaves (with broccoli and carrot, among other things) in the fridge, so I used that instead.
- I didn't have dark soy sauce, so I used light soy sauce instead
- There weren't any wet noodles of the type that we usually use in Singapore, so I used yakisoba noodles instead. It was a somewhat large box and I used almost all of it ^^;;;;
- I didn't use any salt or sugar ^^;;;

I had fun playing Perfect Dark Zero and finishing Gears of War with Cz, and I hope I can finish PDZ soon. :) I also want to get my own Xbox360 too so I can play games, as well as a PS2... ^^;;;

I'm tired now, so I'll post the photographs tomorrow morning (and edit this post).
