Ox Tongue

The title itself grossed you out? Look at the dish on top, it doesnt look that bad, does it? Anyways, the I tried this the last time I went to Melbourne. It's a restaurant named Menya and Ox Tongue rice is one of their specialty dish. I thought it would taste disgusting too but I mean, just give it a try. Why not right? Once I put that into my mouth, the flavours were so great that I fell in love with it since then. Going to Melbourne again tomorrow before Uni starts this year. Can't wait to eat that again!! Yum.Yum...

Unlocked

Its 12.58am and I am now in the computer area in Uni because I got locked out of my apartment. Basically, I left the key in the apartment and sadly, I will have to wait till 9am before I can call my landlord so that she can bring the spare key to open the door for me. Hopefully she dont charge me for that. Oh well, I have another 8 hours to go and I am already feeling hungry and tired. Just wana sleep. But I believe I can get through this.

Ps: People, please remember to bring your keys out!

Love and Worry

It's Valentine's day and what's wrong if I choose to express my love to my family instead of to a guy? Right? I am kinda worried today as I got a text from Mum saying that she is in the hospital. Well, she started not feeling really well yesterday complaining of chest pain and I joked about it. I told her it must be because I am not around anymore. Apparently that doesnt seem to be the case as the symptoms continues today. So I think she went for a check up or something. She texted me later today again saying she is out of the hospital. Anyhow, I am still rather worried. Just hopefully everything is really alright.

Seriously, the person I love the most on earth is definitely my MUM!

Back!

First and foremost!- Dear Yamashita, sorry for not updating this blog since I am back in Malaysia. Life is too good back there. Hah. Blog is like so unimportant then.

Anyways, 13/02/2011 and I am finally back to Oz land. This time, the feeling sucks. It's my first time flying alone all the way without friends. Transiting alone and just doing everything alone. An Australian man sat next to me during the flight and he seems to be a really nice guy. He offered me some biscuits and we chit chatted a bit. But when I transitted back to Adelaide, there was no one next to me so the feeling is slightly worse. But thank God I am back here in one piece without depression. Huh.

Let's recap on what has been happening for the past 2 months while I am back home. Believe or not, I worked. It's not my first job but I would say it's my first serious job. I did not leave after the first few days but managed to persevere on for the whole promised 2 months. Well, I am proud that I did that. A 8.30am to 6pm job is quite long hour. Had to sacrifice all the fun of life. Had to turn down friends' late meet-ups. Had to skip lunch with family. But believe it or not, the outcome was more than what I would have expected. I've learnt so much from my colleagues and from my boss. Bless them for being so patient with me. I've got to say, I am totally a slow learner and I make mistakes all the time but still, I wasn't kicked out. Get to learn stuffs, get to know people, get to see people and get paid. Isn't it just great? Just a photo of that.

Ok. Enough with work. Of course, the great celebration at home. It's Chinese New Year. Gong Xi Gong Xi into the year of Rabbit. It's a great oppurtunity to meet all my cousins who are backed from KL and to just talk and laugh and eat and gamble. Well, did not gamble alot this year so my gamble account is still negative. But it's not about the money. It's about each others' company that lifts up the whole environment. Did not manage to upload pictures taken from Mum's family so pictures below are cousins from Dad's side.

I guess, that's about it for now. Will try to update fairly frequently.

Live life to the fullest!Appreciate those around!

Signing off!

100th Post

Yea.. This is my 100th post. Job well done so far? Think so. Don't remember how I came so far in this blog. I am writing this post with an excited and happy mood. Gosh. As you can see from the tick tock at the right hand corner, I am home now. It has been 5 days now. Bak Kut Teh tastes so good. Driving feels so nice. It's time to relax and enjoy life for the time being.

Hope everyone is feeling the same way as well since most of my friends are back home with their family due to study break.

Nerviac? Cardous?

Which looks better? Nerviac or Cardous? Those words do not exist so please dont bother looking for the definition at dictionary.com. Its a combination of central nervous system and cardiac system. I have yet to master the two topics and exam is 3 days away. Help me. I read and read and read but I still don't get some of the stuffs and I still experience some difficulties in remembering the drugs and their mechanism of action. I am so so dead. And due to that, this is the only facial expression I can give you.

This is just a random post after a tiring 4 hours of studying. Next post will be after exam.

Ps: To those who are burning the midnight oil for exam, You are not alone. Press on!

Waiting

Friend. You don't know the feeling until you lose one. People come and go but I used to believe friends stay on. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there is no such thing as forever. But I wish I was right. I have to constantly remind myself that I did not lose one. That friend of mine will forever carry the tag of 'friend' regardless of whether he/she wants to take it down.

C.S Lewis once said, 'Frienship is unnecessary, like philosphy, like art...it has no survival value; rather it's one of those things that give value to survival'. This friendship might only mean the first part of the sentence to you but to me, it's the whole complete line.

I can't read the person's mind like Edward Cullen but I am sure I can read mine. My brain, the size of my fist confirms to me everyday before I sleep that the friendship did not sink. It did not. Things might be different. I might be hated. My presence might not be welcomed but I will make sure I do not lose sight of the beautiful ship.It has definitely brought me to places that I could not go without or alone.

All that's happening now is that the weather is too bad for the sail to begin again. However, weather will change according to God's will. It's just the matter of time.
