I've always been in love with pancakes from Pancake Parlour. I found out one day that they actually sell their very own pancake mix and I was super happy that I bought it right away. It wasn't really expensive if compared to the one we bought from Sydney, from Pancakes on the Rocks. I tried making it (POTR) the other day and they turned out really bad =(

I regretted so much for buying it=(

Not only did it waste our money, it wasted my luggage's weight allowance! If I have not bought that useless mix, I could have bought TWO of Pancake Parlour's!!! But of course that was before I know how gooooooood Pancake Parlour's pancake mix is. Now that I know, the next time I'll make sure I get mooooore. That is if my baggage's allowance allows huhuhu T_T


Frying the batter on a non-stick pan.

Even when frying it I could feel how soft and fluffy it was! When we tried eating it OMFG EXACTLY THE SAME TASTE!!! Seriously, Pancake on the Rock's mix can be thrown into the rubbish bin already.


MMMMMMMM!

I even purposely bought a pancake syrup just to make this even more perfect. It was so expensive! RM 18 for one bottle. Maple syrup's selling at RM 24 for one tiny bottle wtf! Didn't think my family would appreciate the difference so I just got the cheaper one. Tasted just as good! =)


Now I can satisfy my longing and craving for my beloved pancake from Pancake Parlour, without having to be at Melbourne! =D =D =D

Next, I finally found a violin teacher! She was introduced to me by one of my bosses and I just talked to her this morning. We'll be starting lessons the coming Monday! Yay! I'm so excited! =D I've never been excited for classes but when it comes to violin lessons, it's a totally different story! Especially when you don't know what kinda teacher you're going to face, what new things you'll learn.

I'll be getting a few scores from town tomorrow after my sister finishes her piano exam. She said I should at least be playing a Mozart's Violin Concerto. I just listened to them in Youtube omg so the boring. Seriously, maybe it's just me but I've always found Mozart's music to be boring even though yeah yeah, he's like the father of Classical period or something. His violin concertos are all THE SAME! Same style be it the melody or cadenza. Most dreadful part is they're all in major keys. I've always prefered minor key pieces dunno why.

Anyway, I can't complain too much since it's what I must do. I asked her if she thinks I can play a concerto in just 3 months, she told me "You HAVE to!" Hahaha.

I've also planned out my practice schedule! I tried really hard to squeeze in 8 hours a day but it's pretty impossible. Well, it's possible if I don't sleep or/and online that often hahaha! But I seriously can't. So I managed to fit in at least 40 hours a week. Hopefully I'll follow the so called 'schedule'.

#141 - Waffleballs bought from Max Brenner when I was in Melbourne. Not bad but I prefer it to be a little sweeter though, I should have gotten the Milk Chocolate ones. This one's Dark Chocolate.















#142 - Food from the set lunch during karaoke at Neway celebrating Maggie's post-birthday. This one here's some bento box with salmon. The rice sucked because it's not the usual Japanese vinegar rice, the salmon was too salty. The salad tasted weird. The only thing that was decent, were the fried spring rolls and samosa.













#143 - Had lunch at Tony Roma's with Cat as a celebration of the money we received for playing in the Terengganu concert. We had the dinner combo which came with 2 sidelines (we chose their corn and baked potato cos they're the best), either 3 beef ribs or 2 ribs + one sideline and we picked the latter and chose their grilled shrimps. I had their old-fashioned lemonade while Cat had their Cranberry Cooler. Great lunch. Haven't had that for some time every since I got back from Melbourne.












#144 - Was camwhoring in the car while waiting for work to start.

















#145 - Practising while waiting for the next student. Didn't purposely pose, this is a screenshot from the video I took while playing.
















Ok that's about it for the first proper post. Wanna test how it looks in the layout.
