Week 3

It proceeds into week 3...

Things happen, people change, thinking sways, decision changes.

Assassin is back on. Some seems to be totally into in, some just could not care, while some just sore losers. It is really a good way to know people around the halls. But seeing this is the second semester, who know more people making it easier to plot against others. :)

Back to Malaysia 1

Wow, it's been 4 days since i've been home, and the different types of food I have eaten is definitely more than two hand full. I have eaten two types of Bak Kut Teh, fish noodle, steam fish, pork noodle, toast bread, steam fish, fried vegetables, nasi lemak, sa hor fun, curry chicken, grill fish, roti telur, leng chee kang and ciku etc etc. I can't even remember the long list. Oh and Dim Sum, not Dim Sim. :) Coming back to Malaysia was seriously a great idea, i'm really glad my mom made me come back. I just miss the food here so much. Nothing can be better than good ol Malaysian food.

I just came from my grandpa's old house. We were packing his stuff, trying to clear some of the stuffs, and i found quite alot of antique stuffs. My grandpa's was a photographer, and had many photography stuffs. No idea what to do with these stuffs, i feel like keeping it, but that's like wasting space. ><














A RFID tag. :)

Dance with my father again

My finger just gets bigger. >< Sigh, a fractured finger, how sucky, especially during exam period. The doctor broke the news in a funny way: "Good news, you have a fractured."

In a mood for the song, Dance with my father again. A nice song.

Relatives, why are they important? Is it because money is important? Its been years, and money comes to your mind. F*** off.

Week 13

Coming to Australia have been an experience. First the food and culture then the craziest weather. Now, a broken finger, ok not broken just injured. I have been injury free before Oz, except for the sprained ankle and back ache and the bruises; Maybe I am rather accident prone. But Australia gave me a bad cold when i first came and now my poor pinkie. I have to see the doctor and wait for the results. 5 months here is more than what could be accomplished in Msia.




Talking about culture, being rather conventional, seeing a lady breast-feeding in public just aint common. It felt rather awkward seeing it. Maybe its normal here, and YES, women have the rights - they should not need to do it in discreet, but it just made me feel a little shy.

Been here for 4 months, cooking was simple, eating is simpler so that washing is the simplest. That day I try something simple, something easy and fast - Claypot chicken rice without the claypot. It looks fine, but the taste is really really lacking. I shall remember not to put butter next time, and add sesame oil and ... I have no idea. ><

Week 12

Week 12 is coming to an end, indicating the most dreadful finals are coming. Thankfully, our papers are rather late this time, instead of the usual one week after week 13 papers, we have 2 weeks before we have to face the DOOM. The usual jittery is felt everywhere. I, feeling more worried than usual, worried that the papers this time has more memorizing than ever, only one subject requires logic, other 3 is just mugging, practically vomiting out whatever is read.

Cooking is becoming an everyday habit. I really don't mind cooking, and sometimes enjoy it. At times, im even amazed that the food actually taste good, I'm not self-praising that I can cook really well, but the cooking are things really to my liking, might not to some though. Today attempt of fried rice was all hell break lose. I just wanted so many things in my fried rice, and trying to clear some stuff from the fridge that my two day meal, became three, and i had to use a pot instead of my pan, which ended with a big meal and burnt pot. It was a normal fried rice with Byrani seasoning, but the ingredients was a luxurious. Ingredients: Chinese cabbage, long bean, potato, carrot, onion, bacon and ham. >< But I like it, maybe its because of the trouble I had to go through to get the meal done, then I am bias towards my cooking. LOL. But ah well, since only im eating it, as long i "like" it, i should be fine.

Whoever said Aus is going to gain u some pounds, all Bull, I'm still the same. And so are my friends.

Anzac Day

Week 8 commences. It was a busy 2 weeks, compared to Chemical it's.. wait can't be compared, Chemical schedule is just crazily packed. After completing labs after labs, reports after reports and test after test, there is still reports, assignments and lab test yet to be completed.

Today is Anzac Day, a day where the Australians commemorate those who died and served in military. From Wiki, Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. This is one of the few festivals Aus has a holiday for, compared to Malaysia the holidays they have here is really scarce. Only for Easter, Anzac and Christmas, oh and New Years, are declared as public holidays.

Take a look at the picture:

First look when i saw, i thought it was an apple, until i looked closer and saw it was a plum. Being really intrigued about the shape, i took a bite and I have been hooked up on it ever since, been buying it every week. It's really sweet and juicy compared the one they had back in Malaysia. Now in season is mandarin oranges, but the one sold here are just not as nice as the one you can get back Malaysia. It was really funny seeing my neighbor, an Aussie eating Mandarin orange while i was eating plum. :)

Great Ocean Road

Finally managed to visit the great grand Great Ocean Road. Well, it was a day filled with exciting events, not only during the tour, but things that happened before and after the tour. It started out that I woke up at 5am to prepare food for the trip, sandwiches. I was really tired and sleepy then.

Then we had to rush to catch the bus, because KY woke up late. 1 minute when we arrived at the bus stop, the bus came. Unfortunately all 3 of us has no change, and only had a 50 Aud; the bus driver refuse to accept it, so we had to punch in a 2 hour zone 2 card and had to buy another zone 1 daily card. Then we rushed up the next train we saw, instead of going straight to Flinders St, it took a detour to Melbourne Central first.And when the next stop was supposed to be Flinders St, the sign states that it is going to Flagstaff, and stop in the midway of the railway track. Lucky for us, we managed to rush to the bus terminal and boarded the bus. They were rather efficient seeing that they actually credited the trip from the card, whether we show up or not.

The bus was rather nice, and the bus drive cum tour guide was rather entertaining. He was not too bad, except when he was driving through the hills, he was driving rather fast, and it made me slightly nausea. The road we took was the scenic road, and the view was really pretty. We visited the 12 Apostles, which to my opinion was just another few limestones, but the view there was breath catching. The Loch Ard Gorge has a small beach, not the best beach i have been to, but it was nice because it was enclosed. The story behind this Loch Ard Gorge was that a ship Loch Ard ran aground and only two survived. The London Bridge, which was a cliff which collapsed midway, had a story too, actually more like a scandal. There was a couple, the boss and his secretary went on a 'business' trip to the London Grotto where it collapsed and the couple was stranded there. His wife found out airing through TV how they were stranded there alone. Wonder what happened then?

When we got back to the city, we went to Ben's house, KY friend and we just had to tag along. >< Well, got to say Ben is a rather good chef, and i learned how to cook something new yesterday. The trip back from his house was terrible. It was pouring the whole night, and we had to walk to catch the bus and tram. It was a tiresome night, actually a tiring day to be exact.
