Just Blogging Around

You all know I am a big fan of telly advertisments. From beers (Carlton), cars (Ford Territory), Big Pond Internet/Great Wall of China, Qantas (Still Call Australia Home) etc etc..

Aussies definitely have their sense of humour. Oh well, sometimes.

This is another good one: Are you with HBA?

“A crocodile came up…bit my guts out! And he bit me into parts…pieces…and my leg went that way, and my head went that way!”

True (Blue) Bogen stylo. Cuteness to the max.

So, I cooked up a storm on my day off.

For no reason, I felt there was a sense of pressure, stress and emptiness. Out of control. I felt guilty too, for not cooking over the weekend. Kian and I ended up have to get some take-away at work.

I drove down to the local shop. I bought some grocery without a proper shopping list. I picked as I walked down the shoping aisles. Couple of items. I was trying to be sensible at that time too.

I cooked one kilo of keow teow.

Before that, I boiled some eggs, diced some mushrooms. I made a small pot of five-spice chicken.

On the stove, I cooked almost 1.5kilos of curry chicken. I had 4 roti canai/plata to go with it.

I haven’t mentioned there was a bunch of chinese kai-lan (vegetable), and brocoli in the fridge.
I cleaned up the entire kitchen after that, leaving the whole area spotlessly clean.

I starred at the food, and I had no idea where to start. And guess what, I wasn’t even feeling hungry. Not a tiny bit.

NO. It wasn’t my wedding. In case you think my very good news come so quickly.  

I attended Kian’s cousin wedding last Saturday. It was very lovely. We sat with almost whole table of pharmacists. One from other profession, and two solicitors. Interesting conversation going around the full course lunch.

We didn’t get to do the ‘yum-seng’ thing. The couple was abit shy, I must say. Plus. I think our table is more youthful. The rest, erm..musta few generations older than us. 

I couldn’t help thinking: why no ‘yum-seng’? we are Chinese after all, ya?
*too much adrenaline in me*

I was talking to my good friend who is currently living in Taiwan. You know, how we are going to ’swap’ our children in the future. I am sending my kid(s) to Taiwan, so he/she can live with her and learn Chinese/Mandarin. On the other hand, she will send hers to Aussie to learn the Western (healthy) culture. The thing is, we both not even marry yet. Ha!

One more thing, when I look at the photo, I must admit, smart people have bigger/wider forehead. Clearly, I don’t.

Oh! I think I’ve “coughed out” enough for my internship portfolio. argh. I had so much to do. When I organised all my work in a ring-file, I amazed myself. I nearly wanted to cry. Crazy.

You guess it right. The JAEGER BOMBS!!! Yay!

On Wednesday night..

Bloody awesome.

The photos are slightly pointless. really. Im just feeling abit emo. I want a big hug. I got scared this morning when I heard the thunderstorm. Remember the old couple that I was talking about. I made my last visit to theirs. I swear to god, I didn’t know it was coming for real. *slap me* I was so afraid that karma bits back..and I might kena strike by lightening this arvo on my way there. I made an good effort to organise a new person to look after them.

So far so good, I guess. Thank Buddha! moi is still alive. phew!

You know how I used to (and I still am) taking photos everyday. I used to capture almost everything I eat.
I went to a local restaurant at the Cott the other day, the portion served was sooo small, yet so cute. I couldn’t help but take a few more photos so I can keep looking at the food photo to fill me up (even more).
Oh! That was so nice.

Sometimes the food photo might look nice. Fact, the taste isn’t that nice after all. Gentle light and macro mode do the trick most of the time.

I like the little saucer served up in Chinese restaurant. Thou me and Kian hardly use them at all.
See, I am not a big fan of chilli. But, I still reckon the colours of the chilli are very nice.

Things have changed a little eversince we do more cooking at home nowadays.  I don’t get to bring my camera to take those nice photos in the restaurants.

I can’t possibly take nice photos from my lunch box either. I microwave my lunch for 2 min, once I lift up the lid, the steam escapes. I am always hungry for lunch before I manage or able to take a nice photo of my lunch.

But, one thing has never changed: I still bring my camera with me almost everyday

So. No nice photos from my lunches. But, I still have some nice photos from.. from.. elsewhere.

I see people coming in everyday with all sort of request. Very often, they present with some skin problem, without any hesitation, they lift up their clothes, and show it to me.

And most of the time, I have no idea how to react appropriately, so I say: OH! That’s very er..er….nice.
Full stop.

Due to my portfolio requirement, I need to take some photos to show the Council people that I have had actually seen such things. Oh well, not quite really a requirement. I just like taking photos after all. I admit.

So, yeah. No photos of food/flower/myself. I’m still very happy to satisfy my ‘photography craving’ by taking thse ‘nice’ photos. Wonder why? Am I lost my sense of photography or what?

Or it is just because the workaholic fink in me???

I was told this toe is infected by fungal. I couldn’t help but requested a photo.
She removed her shoe. I saw the badly infected toe. The smell of the feet shoooo-ed me 3 miles away.

Holy cow! That IS so ‘nice’!!!

My workplace had gotten some Easter chocolate eggs credited back to Darell Lea.  
At the end of the day, the chocolate won’t be going back to the manufacture, but US!
This makes me the happiest person on the planet! Yay!
Seriously, who cares about post Easter.. the point is: CHOCOLATE. and it is FREE!!!

Lisa Simpson’s face is as big as my feet, awesome heh?
