Up and Close with Peter Schmeichel

I'm back... AGAIN... I just realized the last post I made was way back in March and the one before that close to 2 years now. Thinking why I started in the first place. Anyways, after meeting with fellow blogger BananaQ8, I thought it's time I get back to blogging. Let's just say, at least for now....

Two days back, there was an event organized by Alghanim Automotive at the Classic Cars Museum where fans get to meet  the legendary Man Utd goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel. He was in Kuwait part of the Manchester United Legends Tour. Being a die-hard MAN U fan myself, I was pretty pumped up when I came to know that I got the chance to meet him and somehow made sure I didn't miss it. 

Well, for those of you who don't know Peter Schmeichel, he was the goalkeeper of Man Utd and their captain who helped them complete THE TREBLE in 1999 and was voted The World's Best Goalkeeper for two successive years in '92 and '93. You can get more info on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Schmeichel 

He's apparently a big fan of vintage cars and I guess that's the main reason this event took place there. Speaking of the venue, its a museum for heritage cars (yeah i know the name tells it; didn't find anything else). Frankly, am not car freak at all and for the same reason I don't have much to say about the place. But you should fancy a visit if you are fond of cars. Once thing I noticed was the Aston Martin DB4 and even the Aston Martin DBS  that was showcased at 360 Mall if am right -- they have those now at the museum. Around 10-12  Vintage cars were formed as a semi-circle around the stage with the DJ playing out the club anthem along with popular Manchester Club songs. After a small tour of the museum, we got the chance to meet and click a snap with him.
 

 

The most funniest (at least for me or should I say most of them) part of this event was when a guy wearing a Barca shirt went to meet and click a snap with Peter he was like WTF (in a good way tho)??. It was hilarious, even for Schmeichel. I bet he was little embarrassed or pissed as his face showed the same (actually just right after this picture) and didn't see him long after that. BananaQ8 managed to get this pi and I've shared it below for your viewing.

Ohhh you Barca Fan... You made your point... Now get the hell out...  

Overall the event was well organized and hope to see more RED DEVILS coming over here...

Thanks to BananaQ8 for making this happen.

1-minute Chocolate Cake

Being jobless - and i mean really bloody jobless - makes you feel like doing something; even if it's not your kinda THING... So 2 days back, me n B were so jobless that we decided to make this 1-minute Chocolate Mugged Cake she read about. Yupp...1-minute cake... Its really simple and can be gone by any DICK N HARRY i guess... So here's how you go with it...

Things you need (Serves 1)

• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 tsp oil

All you got to do is put all the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk it well. Pour the mixture to a mug - make sure its microwave safe - and microwave at full power for 1 minute (we used the bowl itself cause our mug was too small and the other being we were not sure if it was microwaveable... hehehe).

Depending upon the strength of your microwave and shape of your cup or container, you may need to cook the cake longer in 15 second increments until done. We kept it for another 15 seconds after the minute, just to make sure it was fine. 

Your 1-minute Chocolate Cake is ready to eat. Scoop some ice-cream on top of it, if you like it that way or just eat it the way it is.

Our Cake Review: It was good for a first-time trial but the sugar was less and the cocoa was more (thanks to B). Got to try it in the mug next time with some ice-cream on top.

If you got some other crazy 1-minute dishes, send it in.

The Rescues and The Cheapmunks

The Rescues is an American Rock Band formed in 2008. All the members sing and play instruments. They did their cover on Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. Its just an amazing song, specially with the female voice being extremely good. I'm still checking out songs from their album Let Loose The Horses which was released in June.

The Rescues - Teenage Dream



The other artist was The Cheapmuncks. They are a Pakistani band (yet another one) but haven't published any albums officially yet. They were promoted by a Pakistani FM Group and was brought to the Internet mainstream by "In The Loop Video Department. Both the females have a really good voice and, I'm hoping, we can get to see more of them in the future.

The Cheapmunks - Oh Hum Dum/Say My Name



The Cheapmunks - Love the Way you Lie/Bewafa



Hoping to hear more of these artists in the near future....
