Does anyone even still come to my dead blog? I dont even have the time to check.
I feel terrible about not updating my blog. As much as I'd love to, I just have to force myself to study for my upcoming finals (BEGINNING THIS SATURDAY!).

I'm already thinking of getting Maxis Broadband for when I'm back home. 3 months without internet at home? Might as well leave me in a cell. Any thoughts about Maxis Broadband? Oh and how about getting my own wifi modem so all I need to do is buy topup cards for mobile broadband down under? It costs around $99 for a start up pack over here inculding a modem and like 50mb of data.

Once I have the time (or internet) I'll give my blog massive updates okay! Thining of changing my layout and blog title. All I want is a neat blog!

Spring Food

Sorry for the lack of updates people. I feel as if I've virtually disappeared from the online world.

Okay, since being here in Aussie, I think I've put on a kilo. Okay, not horrible but I've always been telling myself to lose a kilo or two for a very long time but as always, epic fail. I just had KFC just not for lunch. EPIC FAIL.

Last week, the International Student Council of UWA had a whole bunch of events. Spotlight on Thurday nights event; Spring Festival or what us Malaysians would simply call 'pasar malam'.
It's a free event with lots vendors who was mostly there to raise funds.

There was only one entrance. It was this long at 6.3opm. Gave out MediBank goodie bags and a number for everyone. You were supposed to find someone of the opposite sex who has the same number as you to win a prize.

Anyways, the moment Izzie and I stepped in, we smelt SATAY and could not contain our excitement! You see, 'satay' here is simply meat on a stick. Perhaps that's what it is but it ain't no Kajang/Malaysian Satay! But the stall here was! Look, they even cook it over charcoal!


I only bought myself two sticks for $1 each because I wanted to save space for everything else!

Ayam and daging satay in a cup with peanut sauce!

There were plenty of stalls selling things like fried bananas, ayam percik, satay, nasi lemak, korean, japanese, desserts, nachos etc!

Oh, and something random: As we were all walking around to buy food, I saw lots of people eating a plate of fried chicken and damn it looks so good! Didn't know where they got it from and we were all quite full at that time. Anyways, my sister and Adrian came by to pick me up and we walked around the stalls that were still open. I saw the fried chicken at an indian stall and asked how much it is and the lady said "oh, this one is cold already so you can have it for free". Score! hahaha. I feel so Asian lor...

Indian fried chicken with mint sauce.

On the rare occasion when I have to cook at home:

Sis asked me to make a Greek Salad but I have no idea what that is so I made a Mediterranean Salad instead.

And on its side, grilled chicken wings.
Dinner for the night.

On one night when I was alone for dinner, I made myself this:

Pan fried salmon on a bed of fresh salad with olives and balsamic vinegar.

Bad Karma

Hello readers,

My evil deeds has been spotted and I'm being punished by a password enabled wireless connection from the neighbour now. Seen it coming. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I've got no internet at home now and my only escape is the computers at uni. I'm currently at the State Library where they have a painfully slow internet connection.

Semester 2 is already almost coming to an end. I'm torn between rejoicing it and dreading it. Joy because it's the end the semester, the beginning of a 3 months holiday and I'll be going back home. Dreading it because it only means one thing. FINAL EXAMS. I've got a Saturday morning paper then 3 days in a row of exams. Stressing out over it because I have to study really hard. Trying to aim high to get distinctions so... sigh...

It was really nice and sunny here in Perth for the past two days. Not a cloud in the sky with cool breeze and hot sun. Bliss... It's cloudy today and if I'm not mistaken, it's forecast to rain.

Expect less blog updates from me for the next month since I'm stuck with no internet and am supposed to only have my nose in my books. Tata.

Haiya,,,,

Another slow day at work today. Boring. Occupied time by wiping the counters etc. Nibbled on chips, subway cookies and cheesesy creations throughout. Sigh, how nice yet mundane to work on such slow days.

Mishap: The top of my left foot is somehow sore. I have no idea why. I was getting myself a drink in the morning and decided to put a new bottle back to the fridge would be fully stocked. As I was holding on to a bottle in one hand, it slipped and landed right on top of my sore foot. Bloody painful ok. Didn't get to go boohoo about it for long as a customer came in soon after. :( Someone fix my foot please! Before this my left jaw was sore for almost 2 weeks. Bah... Why oh why am in in constant pain... I'm only eighteen!

Aussies Love Their Footy

Work today was so dead. Was in the restaurant from 9am for a staff meeting till 5pm when I finished work. Very very slow and quiet day. Everyone was either at the Perth Royal Show since today's the first day or at home watching footy. Nice to get paid to just stand around but it was very boring. Work again tomorrow hopefully it will be a little bit more busy but not too busy. :)
5 lectures to catch up on tonight.

Urges

Suddenly I miss

* The Fish Spas that appeared like mushrooms all over KL.
Dozens of tiny fishes nibbling on your feet. It's a one of a kind sensation!

* I miss Pulau Langkawi as well.
Badly want to go on a holiday with my beloved AUSMAT-ians again!

* As always, I miss Sunway Pyramid and strangely enough, I miss college food. The cafeteria, pink, white, orange and medan. nyumnyum...
