1 too many

5 times??

that's just effing too many times in a day.
my goodness.
It's record breaking but for sure it will never be repeated again anytime soon.

Letting yourself go

So I've been sieving through some of my old posts recently to look for old pictures and guess what.. I'm so disgusted at myself. -___-

I have literally let myself GO, I've turned into a chubby ball, no I'm not even proportionately round like a ball. I'm LUMPY. I have lumps of fats distributed to random areas that do not look attractive at ALL.

I totally blame myself for getting so comfortable. I stopped taking care of myself to care for others. I have to quickly fix this shit before it becomes permanent otherwise I'll hate myself forever.

It's not like I didn't see this weight gain coming but I think it's about time that I go back to normal. Back to my normal portion and not a Nick sized portion. I cannot compete with you man.

iPod Nano 7th Gen

 

time to go digital.

got it couple days ago as a birthday present,

super belated birthday present.

I'm not really a fan of d i g i t a l and battery powered watches to be honest but this and my running watch is an exception. It might even take over as my running watch. I was worried at first that the nano would look like a monster on my arm but it actually fits nicely and together with the strap it's still super lightweight.Shocking.

 My name is engraved on it. It's SO tiny.

 Wonder if people buy second hand engraved iPods.

Few faces that I like. They have 18 in total.

Really liking it so far, like the various faces and how lightweight it is.

Now I don't have to carry around my phone to listen to songs while I'm jogging.

Hope in the future they upgrade it to retina display and quicker sleep/wake response time.

it wud be so awesome.

Happay

Go karted.

what surprised me was when i got back from the gym.

Nick had already gotten ready his backpack filled with buns, biscuits and even energy drinks. I thought it was kinda cute, mama syndrome scared no food. 

coz we were going to be out the whole day that day.

Lindt cake and Brunetti profiterole tower.

The tower is supposed to feed 10. LOL assuming that each person got 2. glutton

Overall I loved the day, eventho it was so tiring at the end of it.

Take Away

So the weeks before our exams. I was super lazy to cook.
So we basically survived on take away food.

To save money we usually hunt for cheap makan like closing hour sales when food goes cheap.

Instead of paying like 8 bucks or 10 bucks per-meal we got off with 5 boxes for just $27!

Ranges from $3.50-$6.00 epic.

The above had stuff like lamb rogan josh, red curry, massaman beef curry, black bean beef, green curry. 

Only drawback is that I get fat.

This wasn't cheap makan finds but shows how we depend on take away -_-.

Compared to the cheap find above this is $45.. the horror.

Half a chicken for $3.00 bucks epic. Quater for $1.80.

Thank god exams are over and im back to cooking again. typing this post made me feel grossed out.

I thought I was sure but now my answer is I really don't know.

my mouth can tell you things you want to hear. my head thinks otherwise.

doesn't mean i'm lonely when i'm alone. o_O

catch ball

I'm planning on getting a pair of baseball gloves and couple of baseballs.

Something about playing catch that makes the little kid in me happy. I practically used to play 'catch' with myself if no one is around... that's if you count throwing something up in the air and catching it again to be 'catch' worthy. I used shuttlecocks, basketballs, tennis balls, ping pong balls, bottles, pens, sticks, rocks... so fun! God I sound like a sad kid. But in all seriousness, who needs video games when you can be outside doing something and breathing fresh air.

argh

... but boys they're all the same, they've innately inherited social marketing skills to lure the innocent and naive.

Bling

 

got this a week ago? solid piece. i like

got a zulu strap with the pvd buckle. first time using one of these, very comfortable and easy to hook up surprisingly. Can say its as/more comfortable than leather straps.

Char Siew

 

Wanted to make wan tan mee the other day, well not make.

More like buy the char siew and 'lou' the noodle, the end. But Nick doesn't like char siew here so he surprisingly volunteered to make the char siew. least i didn't have to cook that night win-win.

 

I cincai lou-ed the noodles and made the sauce, guess what's important to add is the sesame oil, makes all the difference.

satisfying nom, least it tastes better than what you get outside.

take your things and get out

looks like you don't feel so safe anymore.

Amigos @ St. Kilda

 

  Went to Amigos mexican restaurant @ St. Kilda the other night with Gessie.

They claim to serve gourmet mexican inspired food and drinks.

But anyhoo they have 3 branches in Melbourne and we got ourselves a scoopon :D

I didn;t take pictures so I had to go and steal some from googles images.

for $40 bucks we got a jug of Sangria, two paella's and a sizzling chocolate brownie

 

One paella itself already costs $29 normally @_@

We got the chicken with chorizo and seafood combination. At first I was skeptical bout the portion size when the waiter told me that one paella each would be enough to make us full. 

He was sure as hell right @_@.. they're really generous with the amount of meat they put in them. The seafood combination had really nice scallops, prawns and a realllly large king prawn I assume. 

Should have ordered two seafood.

 This was entertaining for the senses. 

Homemade brownie topped with melted Spanish chocolate flavoured with Kahlua and served on a sizzling plate with vanilla ice cream.

 

So they pour the chocolate on a sizzling plate and it starts to bubble.. smells incredible like burnt chocolate/caramel. Then the hot chocolate and ice cream gives you that hot and cold effect on your palette which is fun.

All in all, I think the price is bit overrated but with a scoopon or any other deal it's definitely worth having a go.
We both left really full and satisfied.

Snowthie

don't you think they should have come up with a better name...

got the peanut and black sesame one

anything that has nuts in them, i'm sold.

pissy blur face as per usual

catch-up

yesterday i met up with Olivia my college friend like way back in 2007. lol epic how time flies.. makes me feel old! i really had heaps of fun catching up with herrr :D our original group shattered a long time ago. a couple of them went back home last year, some found other groups and some got themselves attached. You're oblivious if you think any group you make at school will stay.

 So I recently got two new bottles. One insulated and one not.

I like to buy bottles like these, kinda grossed out using normal plastic bottles.

 

So anyhoo, if you've read my sigg post I tend to get extra caps o_o. So for this one I got an extra cap to make it look more retro, but i still prefer the sigg one. :\

I always wanted a thermos, think its cool. I got the 16oz insulated Klean Kanteen. It claims to be able to keep things hot for 4-6hours and stuff cold

for 24hrs? epic

Tried it out with coke and ice. The ice remained its shape for at least 6-7hrs. crazy!

For hot drink im not too sure, because after an hour it was still pipping hot. I had to open the cap and let it cool off a bit before drinking. 

So yeah currently in love with a bottle.

Team Names

Team names created by other groups.

Spot Beyonce's Babes and Asian Avengers. I found it funneh.

CP is quite funny too. Since everyone picked HD they chose CP (conceded pass) its just 45-49mark lol.

one too many

bit too many for one household don't you think?

the last time i checked there was only two.

think he bought it coz it was on special.

anyhoo, I l o v e having carbs for breakfast. 

Love having my toast, my cereal and my muesli. 

These days i've been toasting away. Peanut butter + jam is preferred. Peanut butter and anything is always good. always.

Ooh La La

X

nope. not pregnant.

Lock Fail

Did a random visit to the storage cage and realized how dumb the neighbour locked theirs.

I don't know if it was put like that on purpose?

maybe they're just hanging their locks there.
maybe they're trying to scare people psychologically with two locks.

The bottom picture is me demonstrating how the locks served no purpose...

(of course i did not take anything, I did close it back)

You still can open it normally

All they did was put two padlocks beside the handle... not safe

This is ours.
 

 

 Had take away for dinner. Got a pad thai, crab meat fried rice and a deep fried pork shank.

  

 I don't know how to explain to you the size of this pork shank. It's so big and tastes epicc... god. The inside is not really fatty but lean moist and niceeeee.

Even if there are boys in this world i still think girls end up doing the hard work
like opening the coconut..

Decided to add a picture of a waffle coz there was an extra space to add a picture. the waffle was guuuud.

Indulge

 I'm quite a firm believer when it comes to indulging. Although I also believe that we should be thrifty and/or cheap when it comes to food. So what I'm trying to say is that once in a while I don't mind splurging on nom noms.

We went to Provenance Food + Bar @ Smith St

We got the chef's sharing plate consisting of cold meats, olives, bread and dip. We also got 3 small plates to share consisting of two little tiny pieces of pork belly, half a quail that's half the size of my fist and the smoked tuna. Thing about ang moh food that I don't like is how small the portions are -_-.

Since it was so little we ended up getting a main to share. Maybe I just developed a big appetite?

In total we ended up spending 80sth to be full  :\.

 

I lost an eye. And gessie lost half of her face.

Later headed to Brunswick St for some churros and hot chocolate, super cold. 

3 Days

So basically i'm supposed to bleed from ma lady parts in 3 days.

Well that's only if it works.

If i don't then i guess im preggers? lol

i'll let you know in 3 days!

The red labeled part is supposed to be taken when you're having your period. Then you slowly spiral till you come back to the start. When you are in the red zone you take the white pills and the other days you take the yellow pills (hormones). So basically i've been taking the yellow pills for 3 weeks now... If it all goes to plan my vajayjay should be unleashing it's wrath on the first or second white pill. 

Ain't this gross to read.

oh wellz.

Rant

Ah. I need a change. I'm so bored of this.

I need variation.

I don't wanna give a shit.

I wanna do what I wanna do.

I wanna go when I want to go.

I need to achieve more -_-.

I'm itching for change.

Lazy Food

Made pasta yesterday, got me thinking how it's one of my all time lazy foods.

You can create whatever concoction you want and still make it edible. o_o

I like to cook, makes me happy but being the sloth that I am, I tend to cook shit food for myself.

Only tend to cook nice stuff when it's for other people

or when it doesn't feel like a chore. (so demanding hey)

But lol, I know that when I have a family

that mentality will be the first

to fly out the window.

 

 Manage to find a few others of my "lazy food" creations.

I know Gessie's lazy food is of course instant noodles.

I'm planing on compiling recipes that I usually make so that I can easily have something to fall back on later in life lol, sounds epic. Anyway, living with a second person makes cooking a responsibility.. :\

I keep going back and forth, like I know I like doing it but during those lazy days I feel like

the "responsibility" is too soon -.-

like there is this benchmark of expectations that I have to fulfill. 

oh well, another day. got to take it as it is.

Chili Shit

Bet we all have chili shitted once in our lives.
It's when you shit and ass burn so bad at the same time.

Btw, that's that toilet paper cardboard tube after I finished chili diarrhea shitting. 

was lazy to throw it in the bin so I decided to decorate the person still sleeping.

Yesterday I went to Rich Maha, the only authentic mamak place I found here at Melbourne so far. Like seriously the indians are like malaysian indians. lol.

anyhoo, the source of my pain is from Chicken 65.
don't know if any of you heard of it before, coz i haven't,
but you definitely will know it when you taste it.

Deep fried with so much cayenne pepper and dried chili, Nick shat straight away when he came back.

guess the taste is well worth the ass burning sensation. :\ i think.
getting a bit old. don't think my bowels can handle it
anymore.

Open

   Sebastian Krieg - Brooklyn (Russ Chimes Re-Hash) by Russ Chimes

russ chimes i adore.
he's so professional at what he does. pity that he doesn't get the credit that he deserves (yet).
the excitement he creates in his songs are erpic.especially for his midnight club mixes. i remember going ape shit all over it.

might not be liked by most of you.

so don't diss, coz we all know i have a shitastic sense of music.
maaf, bein defensive, traumatic past. got bullied and hurt. LOL. some of you should know this.

you know, i don't really get the people that say, "Oh, i don't like music without lyrics." or "Oh, i don't like music that's sung in another language". Firstly, I respect your opinion but it irritates me when people really rub it in your face through disgust or whatever means necessary. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind who will defend or even look remotely passionate about anything, it doesn't make me like you any less. But tone it down a little man.

To me and I'm sure many others as well view music as sound, rhythms, melodies which are meant to entertain, enlighten, express, emote emotion.. and the list goes on. Who said that it was purely lyrical?  It doesn't matter what shitastic genre a person likes (except for irritating people who pick genre's to stand out), it's still music that appeals to them. Get a grip man, be more open minded.

WAY HO

One of my fav's

"come on everybody say way ho!"

"WAY HO!"

"boom boom boom everybody say way ho"

She might not be as popular as Rebecca Black but 

she definitely has more likes than her.

If you don't get why the video is funny other than her out of tune singing it's because the lyric is supposed to be "WAY OH" but she pronounces it as "WAY HOEE"

funny shizz.

what's there not to like about her?

Colored Blocks

 You all should know this. I had fun guessing!

maxie is a great seller

Oh you guys didn't know?

Random Nom

 

 So yesterday I was lazy to think of what to cook. 

Gessie had just bought tom yum paste,

so what the hey lets have a steamboat.

Whipped out the induction stove and tried

to find whatever to ingredients. At first we were unsure whether we could get enough variety but 

we ended up with a decent amount o_o

prawns, chicken, tofu, wombok, beans, dumplings, thai fish cakes

Learned that if you marinade the chicken with a little bit of chinese cooking wine will alter the texture of the chicken slightly. It becomes smooth and soft?

 

Thin and crispy nom

 Since Gessie and I do most of the cooking Nick offered to make crepes for dessert this time.

Watermark @ Docklands

Had makan at Watermark Bar at Docklands. Their mains were well priced at $15.

Food was so so. Their kitchen closes at 8pm and we came at 7.50pm o_O, so we had to scramble and eventually decided on

6 mains and 3 entrees for the 5 of us.

Portion wise, wasn't too big. Hopefully they enjoyed themselves.

Tour guide
