Meet Teabag

Hello,


this is my new found friend.

Animals, they wont cheat on you, though sometimes they do get a little rough. but they never hurt you where the heart is. they're your joy after a long day at school or work. they greet you, and they make you feel wanted (where food is concerned).

meet teabag.


she hasn't replaced the spot where April has taken but she's a beauty.

Friends,
if you know me well enough, you know I NEVER liked cats. but teabag is different. Very different. Its hard to express it in words, so just meet her.

Curiosity killed me. i now like you kitty cat.

loves.

The Fallen are the Virtuous

Friday night was crazy. No wait, actually it was 2am Saturday morning.
Well, you might ask what I was doing so late walking around. Ought to be in bed getting beauty sleep right?

No.

Students do not get beauty sleep. They don't get sleep. Period.

So yes, most of you might have known by now. I fell down the stairs. Backwards. Hitting my head and my precious back on the steps. Pretty much walking like an egyptian mummy now.

Excellent posture.

Thanks to auntie Carol for her koyok and counterpain. I should be up and about in no time.

Anyhow, this is one joke i really like.

At Sunday today....

"Wah, you were trying to save your laptop i see. good good. see doctor need about $100. new laptop need about $2000"

and i must add.....losing laptop with your assignments in it. PRICELESS.


So much for telling ONE person i fell down the stairs.

And We'll Make it Velvet Brown

Last night, Dawn decided to dye her hair, and got the help of wonderful housemate Brit to help.

So what's leftover, is my really blackened comb (which I know I will have no use of anymore), velvet brown hair for Dawn (it was supposed to be black dye. hm..), and................. photos!

Ta-da!

Mahjulah Singapore-ah

I am still very much Singaporean. And I definitely miss home.

The food at least.

Laska, chicken rice, calbee prawn crackers (the cheapest i found so far is A$1.80!), yong tau foo, fishball noodles, fried rice (from across the road where I live), BAK KUT TEH, ice kachang, SEASONS ICE LEMON TEA, mom's cooking (although sometimes i can cook better :p), mee goreng (the one I had the other day was like noodles with curry powder. yuck), PENG KUEH, TEH PENG (the milk tea here is horrible), nasi briyani ....
Basically everything at a hawker centre. I miss seeing hawker centres.

And I miss talking to people so much in Singlish. I have to be 2-mouthed here - Speak angmohish to the angmohs, and singlish to the singaporean babes.

Last Thursday was National Day. So while you people back home were busy celebrating the day off, so was I. but it was belated for me, cause my celebration was on Friday.

But but...it was awesome.

Hm?!

Hah! Multi-cooker working its magic

And the people who made it a blast

You are Really Dumb

well, I am.

today i went out with the girls for marketing. again. seems to be becoming some sort of a routine for us.

Anyway, we headed for Coles-Kmart down in Vermont South, and I thought I'd pop by VideoEzy to just check out rental Dvds. It's not too bad. For weekly rentals. its $3, and there are specials if you rent more. Definitely got really good new releases. And I like the place.

So I thought I'd get myself 2 Dvds for the week.

Payment was abit of a hassle initially cause the laydee at the counter said i needed to be a member etc. and requested proof of residence, passport yadda yadda. which i didn't have.
So dear meiying signed up for membership instead.
(Okay, the good thing about OZ so far is that you. dont. have. to. pay. for. membership. fee! not like in Singapore. Everything also rip you off)

And then I wanted to make payment for the Dvds, and I asked the laydee, "Do you accept NETS?"

*blank stare*

*meiying and pauline double blank stares at me*

"What"

"OHHHHH!!!! Not NETS! What is it called here?!"

"ETFPOS"

"OHHHH!!! hahahahahha!!!!!"


kind of dumb right. but excuse me. i've been here for only 1 month. and i've never used that whatever EFTPOS service.

Experiment

Time does fly by. It's been a month since I left Singapore for Melbourne.
Things are picking up....well...at least my assignments are.
And the rest of my life, besides school, is pretty mundane.
I go to school, come home, laze about, try to do revision, play some games, cook, watch tv, go to sleep.

ANYHOW,

the girls came over last friday to be guinea pigs for my latest dessert (name unknown).
i've had pretty good reviews from them and from around the residence but i do have higher expectations of myself when it comes to my food, and don't think it was all that fantastic. oops. there's definitely much room for improvement - like texture and uhmm...appearance.
