Ivan, Aaron and myself
I'm the odd one, both of them look like my dad, I'm more like my mum
That's what everyone says anyway, heh, comments?
Yeah, starting to miss the family alot di, ah, 3 more months, common, have to tahan. heh
Those were some of the pics from Aaron's graduation here in Sydney University, don't know why they turn out blur when I post it
Family came too Aus that time, it was April this year, had such a great time wit the fam
Can't wait can't wait


Some updates, it's approaching Spring!
It's getting hotter n hotter, Brisbane was up to 30 degrees today! here it's about 25 on average
Noo, can't wear my long sleeve tshirts =(


I'm starting week 4 of uni, about 1 or 2 weeks behind other uni's, so sad, everyone else is like in week 5 or 6, so I'm gonna have shorter summer break compared to others, aww, my sem ends much later.
Well, 2nd year 2nd sem, so so tough, already struggling and quite behind my studies, really can't imagine myself going through 3rd year, so gonna struggle hard, urgh =(

Econs is so hard to read atm, I read abit, I fall asleep. Hmmm... push on push on


Got myself a haircut, hah, bought one of those crocodile scissors, bro helped me with the back part of my hair, and I did the rest. At first I tried cutting the back, after a while decided to just ask my bro for help, was just too hard trying to cut the back part
But yeah, turned out all right =D phew lucky
Happy and proud of cutting my own hair, this way I get to save money and I get to cut the way I like
Asked my bro if he wanted me to cut his hair for him, he ended up going to barber instead hah, think he's worried it'll look really bad, I don't blame him, I'd be worried bout me too, who wouldn't.
Wait till I cut a few more times, I'm sure I'll be able to cut for other ppl di =D
Any1 wan a haircut?


Basketball competition is coming, 2 weeks time, am looking forward to it
Kok Ken is in the team as well, hah, we'll see how far we can go yeah
Go go go


Finished watching a korean drama "My Girl", hah thx Hafia for the vids
Not bad, was really funny, love the main actress, she's so funny and acts really well
It's my first korean drama that I've ever watch, so I can't really say that korean drama's are good in general. But this one's really good, really liked it, gave me lots of laugh, hah, thx Hafiz


Uhm, had a bbq lunch last Sunday to celebrate aunt's birthday
Was amazing, we bbq-ed sausages and some lamb cutlets
Had other stuff as well, smoked salmon is awesome, did you know that?
But best of all was the company, was great to have a meal with every1 gathered together, aunt uncle cousins were all there. Nieces too! Alyssa is growing cuter and cuter and so is baby Caitlin.

Overall, I'm all right, just bit of a struggle getting through this sem
Am missing Msia quite a bit now, Kit Yi's back di, hah, jealousnyer
Aite, I'm done here

10 Star Restaurant Dishes

After Mel, Ken, Fang, Kim and Eve left, Gene was still around cos his return flight is a week later

Having been wonderfully inspired by our dear master chef friend, and due to some lack of professional chefs to cook for us, Gene and I had to show off our skills in the kitchen

Starting with the first day of cooking..

Ta-da
Some awesomely cooked dishes for 4 (Bro, Seiko, Gene, myself)
Didn't take too long, unless you call 2 hours as long
We cooked it with tender loving care k, that explains the 2 hours hmph!

1st in the menu:
ABC Soup
Rating: 6/5!
Comments: Too good!

We call this one,
Bok Choyster
(Stir Fried Bok Choy in deep Oyster Sauce)
Sounds cool right, yeah I know..
Rating: 3/5
Comments: It's veggie, enough said =P

Name: Chiccroli
(chicken with broccoli)
Rating: 5/5!
Comments: Too good!!

Name: Potaken
(Potato + chicken)
Rating: 5/5!
Comments: Just too good!
2nd time cooking

Name: Sunshine Egg !
(Egg with carrots, onions)
Start your day with some Sunshine Egg to give you that healthy and fresh start to your day!
Intended to be pieced up together, ended up being scrambled cos we didn't have a proper frying pan, I wanna try some flipping when I get my hands on some proper pans, it looks real fun

Gotta have some healthy veggies too
Although it became not too healthy due to the overflowing oyster sauce, haha
Gene and I,"Too tasteful!"

Food critic on the left, master chef on the right


On 1 of the nights, we were quite hungry,
so we cooked ourselves some supper!
This dish is da bomb!!

Name: Super Duper Egg Wrapped Cheesy Chicken Supreme!
Err, meant to be wrapped in egg, but blame the wok
We didn't have a proper frying pan, that's why, ended up scrambled.. again,
This was my most favourite dish! Cos it has cheese in it, loved it!
The cheese is inside the chicken, ahhhh, so loving it, yum
Rating: 7/5!!
And also, this..

Name: Nutrimite Chicken
(Marmite chicken with nutrigrain) =)
Didn't have marmite, so used vegemite instead,
and the nutrigrain is meant to bring out the taste in the chicken as well as to give a sweet smelling aroma
Rating: 5/5 man!

Haha, seriously the taste is pretty good, we're pretty proud of what we achieved

If you wanna know the recipe, feel free to ask, we know you're begging for it, don't have to be shy =D
