Update

Okay, I've finally edited the pictures that have been rotting away in my camera. Uploading them now so might need to wait till tomorrow to update here with pictures.

I'm about to go back home. So far, I've been enjoying myself. In fact, too much that it's not helping my practice schedule at all :( But whatevers. I'm not regreting every single second/cent I spent here. I feel so familiar with this environment now. I adapted to the cold, the dressing, the transportation, the shops, the good stuffs around, the food, the price eventhough I still do convert sometimes, the people. It almost felt like I have been living here for a very long time when really, it's only 3 months, cumulatively. I'm not complaining to go back of course. Ultimately, I still love my home, my bed, my annoying sister, my weird but loving parents, my ji mui, my karaoke gang. And I do miss all that. It's just that... haih. LDR again.

But I guess there's nothing I can do when I don't really have much of an option but to officially get myself that freaking visa that allows me to be here, do I?

I seriously hate the daylight savings. It totally screwed my body clock.

Ooh I bought a new book! The Time Traveler's Wife! I was actually contemplating between that and Twilight cos they were both discounted at Big W. I got the former cos I personally am not interested in Twilight's storyline (because I simply don't believe in love at first sight at all, or falling in love without any reasons) and I don't understand why so many people love it. Yaya teen girl and vampire fall in love blablabla AND SO??? Ok maybe it's just a personal thing. Or maybe I should have just read the book and not watch the movie first. I am not crazy over the movie at all. I hate Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) there (actually I hate her real personality as well haha) not because she gets to act with Robert Pattinson ok, I just think her acting sucks in it. I quite like Robert Pattinson in Harry Porter as Cedric but not as Edward Cullen in Twilight cos I think he's kinda weird in the movie, the way he talks and all. Yes he's charming but er... I'm not going gaga over him. I better not criticize him more otherwise I might get flamed or just get butchered by fans of his.

Ok to cut the crap short, I'm not saying the book's bad cos clearly, I haven't read it so I can't judge. I've watched the movie and wasn't inpressed by the story, and plus all the weird and sucky acting were just a turn off for me. I may start reading the book if someone can tell what's interesting about it...

Oooh yay the pictures are up! Just a continuation of P365 though.

AND I AM SO FREAKIN' SORRY I OVERLOOKED FANG CHIN'S QUESTION BEFORE I MADE BOTH VIDEOS!

So, his question was "If you ever have a superpower, what would it be and why?".

Hrm I think I'm going to be more realistic. I want to have a power like Micha Sanders from Heroes called the 'Technopathy' so that I can make the ATM machine go crazy and then I can get more money HAHAHAHA. Ya what! Who needs the ability to fly? Or go through walls? Hrm actually teleportation and invisibility's a good one too... basically any powers than can easily get me more money, I LIKE LOL! Yes I am materialistic, and I'm pretty sure anyone whom by any chance have these powers WILL be materialistic also. This is reality, not Heroes! Save what world...

Nars Orgasm

Hello people!

Eh what lar come on la ask me something funny la why all your questions so boring?? I did say I'll ignore questions that are too personal but you definitely can ask me something like, "how often do you dig your nose?" or "which finger do you use to dig your nose?" or things like that right?? Come on! Ask me ask me!

Ok I've been quite lazy lately so didn't update much although I do have lots of pictures to post up. Like those when I went to the tulips festival 2 days ago oh my gosh it was so freakin' pretty! And hrm I wanted to do a post about shopping but I wanna wait till I'm back in Malaysia first cos I'm sorta waiting for the list to end HAHAHA if you get what I mean.

Anyway, my Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask has finally arrived! But gotta collect it from the post office cos it came in today when nobody's around. I can't wait to see/use it! Tomorrow we'll be heading to the post office to collect it, then Wk will go to the salon to get his hair cut and I'll go to Vic Market to get some fresh meat and vege.

Before I end this pointless post (ok maybe there's a point, which is to ask readers to ask me more ridiculous but not personal questions haha), let me just scream here that I FINALLY GOT MYSELF A NARS ORGASM!!! I know sounds a little wrong but whateverrr.

Ok good night.

Any Questions?

I suddenly got inspired to do this from various blogs I've been reading all these while.

Ask me a question and I'll answer you. You know the drill, nothing too private or too... un-answer-able, geddit?

Ok whatever. You know what? I'll just pick the questions which I want to answer and ignore the ones which I don't think make sense, period.

So, come on people. Ask me something ok! :)

Black Pepper Udon with Pork

Ok, so thank goodness the pain has subsided. Time for a proper post! Before I go to the cooking part, let me just show some random pictures that's in the camera.

We did some grocery shopping a few days ago. As you can see, his kitchen cabinet is STILL filled with instant noodles because when we shopped, he threw in more instant noodles into the basket -_-

Finally, the fridge's filled. FYI, it was almost empty when I came.

Traces of me: my shoes which actually is a ridiculous amount considering I'm not the one who's staying permanently in the apartment. I have 6 pairs there while the other 3 is Wk's. What can I say? A girl can never have enough of shoes right?

The dressing table in the toilet. As you can see, I basically took most of the area hahaah! Like 90% are my stuffs.

Okie dokie, here comes the Black Pepper Udon with Pork.

Ingredients: Marinated pork (with salt, soy sauce, sugar, corn flour, black pepper and sesame oil), fresh udon, some vege (I used bokchoy), onions and capsicum all sliced. Oh and a packet of Lee Kum Kee's Black Pepper Sauce. Basically, just get any black pepper sauce you can get. Sorry I'm not that geng (yet? lol) can make my own black pepper sauce. Oh also, the amount is based on 2 servings. So just cut down or build up the ingredients according to amount of serving la.


First, heat up some oil and saute the onion.

After the onion has turned slightly brown, throw in the capsicum and saute it too but not as long as the onion.


Throw in the marinated pork and add a little bit of water and fry for a while until all the pork is cooked. Continue adding water bit by bit whenever the pan becomes too dry and stir till the pork is cooked.


Push the pork++ aside, for a space to lightly and quickly fry the vegetables.


When the vege has turned a little softer, toss in the udon. Again, if the pan is too dry, add a little bit of water.


Stir the udon and mix it well with the other ingredients.

Pour in the black pepper sauce and add some water. I used the same packet (Lee Kum Kee) to fill in water after I emptied the sauce into the pan. You can add salt/sugar/pepper to taste but I didn't need to cos 1. The pork is already marinated prior to cooking. 2. The black pepper sauce itself has enough of taste already.

Tadah! Serve it while it's still hot!

You can always use other meat instead of pork like chicken, seafood, beef (which I wouldn't recommend unless you know how to make them tender and not a pain to chew), lamb (same as the beef case) etc.

And for dinner that same day, I made

Bokchoy with bacon (very good combination in my opinion, didn't even have to add salt cos the bacon's really salty by itself) and BBQ Chicken with potatoes and capsicum, which was kind of a failure because it was burnt T_T I forgot that it's barbecue sauce and it burns really easily if it's cooked for too long so I left it in the microwave and didn't check on it and by the time we smelled the stench of something burning, the stuff was already black. The middle and bottom were still edible so I spooned them out otherwise we'd have only vege with our rice for dinner T_T.

Agony

Love is when he cooks you a bowl of Campbell's Mushroom soup and added milk to make it taste better because he knows you're having a bad toothache and cannot chew a single thing.

Sorry can't do a proper post now cos I need to sleep before the painkiller wears off in my system. I couldn't freakin' sleep because of the freakin' toothache yesterday night. The whole freakin' night. Ok I had enough of this shit. I'll go see a dentist and get the surgerIES done. Notice that it's plural? So many people have been pushing me to go get my tEEth fixed/extracted/whatevers but all these while I kept thinking "if it's not aching anymore, then it's ok I'll pass". I am such an idiot for thinking that way. It's aching so badly I wish I coould just rip those freakin' teeth off now.

Chocolate Goodness

My first visit to Lindt's Cafe was when Wk and I were in Sydney and we had a great time there because I love chocolate and their stuffs tasted amazing. The Hot Chocolate Lava Cake totally blew me off. I raved so much about it in this entry.

A few months ago, Aileen told me that there's a newly opened Lindt's Cafe in Melbourne and I was so damn excited because finally my favourite Hot Chocolate Lava Cake is within my reach! I mean... not exactly near since I'm not living in Melbourne or anything but at least, I visit Melbourne more than Sydney that's for sure.

So I've tried the one in Melbourne finally, at Collin's Street. Sadly, it's kinda different from the one I had in Sydney but still good enough to cure the longing for that yummy melt-in-the-mouth flourless chocolate cake.

Tried their Iced Chocolate (which was nothing to shout about) while Aileen had their Hot Mocha. We shared a Hot Chocolate Lava Cake and the macaroons which is called the Lindt Delice.


The Delice in Pistachette and Hazelnut. Very nice! I've never tried a macaroon before so... I can't compare with anything else.

I figured it's probably because I've already tried the cake once which was why the second time I had it I didn't find it as amazing as the first? Or maybe the stuffs at the Melbourne branch really aren't as good as the one in Sydney... despite having a more luxurious and posh interior. I dunno. Anyhow, I think it's still good to have a Lindt's Cafe arount the corner in Melbourne.

Before going out.

That night we had a drinking session with a few of Wk's friends and gosh, the amount they drank. I think there were close to 15 jugs of beer. Of course, I kept myself looking freakin' innocent so... :) Wk on the other hand was made to drink mugs after mugs by the time we got back he collapsed onto the bed immediately and snored like a freakin' machine LOL!

As for yesterday, a picture of dinner I cooked. I finally cooked! Hahah. I mean, ever since I reached I haven't been cooking until yesterday.

Just the usual Chinese dinner. Soup, vege and meat. Made ABC soup, stir fried long beans with anchovies and cheesy ham omelette which I'm proud to say, tasted really good! The omelette I mean.


A close-up. Mmmm I'm hungry now.

Hahaha damn tak tau malu praise my own cooking. But honestly, when I don't like something, whether or not it's my own cooking I'll say it's not nice. I most of the time complain my own cooking when strangely Wk think it's fine. So when I do say it's nice, I really mean it.

Ok done. Next up,
