The Flu Bug

The flu bug had to hitch a ride when I had a tummy ache. Thanks to my unhealthy body that I caught a flu. Its been a long time since I last fell ill. I forgot how it felt like to be sick. That feeling when you are about to sneeze but suddenly it got stuck somewhere and goes up your nose again with the acute pain and tears form at the corner of your eye as a result. That's a sick feeling.

Tummy ache on Sunday, flu on Monday till today. I feel much better today, after all the flu pills and ginger tea. Talked to mum today, and she told me that dad just realised that I haven't started school. He asked how come I didn't go back with her and let me slack here. HAHAHA. I sneaked a break without him knowing, and now it's too late! But I do feel like going back, miss home somehow. Weird. I miss Ah Gu and Baxter and Nosey.

Don't want Can't wait for uni to start!! hehe

Oyster Disaster

I had a BAD tummy ache. A real bad one. The pain was unbearable. It came like a storm and lasted for less than 5 minutes. This went on throughout the night, right after dinner all the way till 1am. It was relentless, it didn't go away even at 4am in the morning. It was so painful that I had to fall asleep to the pain.

Why did this happen? All because I had to eat oyster egg. We bought 2 dozen oysters on Saturday and was planning to make oyster egg. But we had too much sushi that day, so we thought of saving it for the next day. So I cooked it last night, and paid the price for it. Not only a tummy ache, but also I missed Armin Only. I feel SO BAD, cos Bren only bought my ticket yesterday, we even arranged to meet in the city and go together. I was quite excited about going, but the tummy wouldn't help. It just had to torture me throughout the night.

It's really funny, cos it's only when I eat oysters here that I get a tummy ache. Back home in SG, I can eat all the oysters I want and be OK. But here, it just doesn't work. This is the 2nd time I've had to go through this excruciating process. I've learnt my lesson, and I've learnt it well. I'm never eating oysters here ever again. Unless they are 100% cooked.

Fat Sushi

We made sushi yesterday and it wasn't too bad for our first attempt. Just that our rice portions were a little too fat. Instead of bite size it was mouth full size. So when you put the whole thing in your mouth, you will look like a hamster that just stuffed its mouth full with sunflower seeds.



The rice was a little hard too, it would be nice if it was slightly more soft and sticky. KY and I kept thinking of opening a Japanese cafe near our place, cos there's no Jap food around this area. If we do open one it will be a sellout. There's a few offices and the lunch crowd is really not bad. Plus, I've just went for a coffee barista course. So I can make that perfect cup of coffee with a real espresso machine.

Well that's all nothing but talk, how can we possibly run a business while being full-time students. I guess we'll just leave that thought for later.

I'm going for Armin later with Bren and Mel, quite excited cos its been a long time since Godskitchen 2006. I'm only afraid that my back will not last as long as I want it to. Been having backaches again recently. Can't stand up for too long, if not it will hurt quite a fair bit. I think I need to make an appointment with the chiropractor soon.

Weird Feelings

Today just feels WEIRD.

It's COLD.

I feel SAD.

Is it PMS? But it's a little too soon for that.

I just signed up for a barista course. $250 bucks, 2 days. Tomorrow and Friday. I guess this will help me to kill time. Everyone is busy and stress about the upcoming exams. ME? I'm relaxing at home doing nothing. Well I did do SOMETHING today. Called the agent to fix the ceiling, called VCAT about my bond refund, emailed the country club about my absence, signed up for barista course, and called Telstra to get my Foxtel connected.

Telstra really SUCKS. Period.

This is the second time I've called them and both times they made me wait like half hour, and the problem is still not solved. And guess what? They asked me to call back AGAIN. Not only Telstra. VCAT as well. I called to find out that they sent the cheque to the wrong address. How DUMB can one get?? How can 79 sound like 99? Now I have to fill up a form and SNAIL MAIL back to them. This is going to take FOREVER, just to get $1522 back. I guess I need to go to the post office before is closes later.

I somehow miss home. I feel like flying back. Should I go back after Armin and come back when they finish exams? I feel so UNWANTED, like I'm a waste of space.

Now I'm not only SAD, but I feel like an empty eggshell.

Birthday Wishes!

It's KC's birthday, well technically yesterday but we're still up at 3AM. He's playing manhunt 2 and I'm blogging next to him, literally. He celebrated his 22nd. Planned a surprise dinner at our home, invited some of his friends that he hasn't seen in a long time. He was surprised with the people that actually came cos he was only expecting the usual few. I guess I did a good job surprising him.

Well, I hope he does well for his honours and writes a superb thesis to accompany that. Also that he gets/does what he wants when he finishes at the end of the year.

I had the privilege of cooking for everyone. Made Nasi Lemak with curry chicken and beef rendang. The rendang was actually quite good, to my surprise. We finished all the rice which was also quite nice despite the fact that I forgot to add salt into it. Well I must say it's been a day full of surprises.

Baby, Happy Birthday! Love you lots! Muacks!!!

End off with some pictures. [gallery]

Broken thoughts

It's been awhile since I've last made an entry. A LOT has happened during this period of absence.

Firstly, I had my blog moved from blogger to wordpress. Thanks to Joyce for showing its wonderful features, and it's really simple to use (much easier than blogger) but I've heard of wordpress much earlier from Joanne cos she's using it.

Anyways, I don't really know where to start cos I've lost my train of thoughts. This entry was actually started last Monday, but I was forced to stop just after starting 2 lines cos Bren came over to do work and I had to help out with her management assignment. Not only that, Daphne was here for 2 weeks. I brought her to Yarra Valley, bought her lunch at this beautiful winery (Yering Station). Suppose to go Phillip Island too, but was too tired.

Although I've not started uni yet, I seem to be very busy. I really don't know what the hell I've been up to. 24 hours a day doesn't seem enough. I seem to have endless things to do. Wash, clean, iron, clean, cook, clean. I keep thinking the house is dirty, but I really think it is. (or am I thinking too much??)

Now that I'm back in Melbourne, I'll be updating more often. I still don't know what to write. I'm lost.

Half way there

I'm glad to say that I am half way to reaching my goal of losing 10 kgs! I've lost about 5 kgs so far! But the sad news is that my breasts are smaller now. What can I do? It can't be helped. Breasts are made of fats, so when you lose weight, that's the most significant place where the weight loss is visible.

Solution: Eat more papaya!
(Well I don't really know if it works, but I'll give it a shot!)

My baby has been really really busy lately, especially this week. Test, presentation and interview. He hardly even has time to eat!

I miss you baby!

I'm always there giving you moral support!
I really wished I was there for your first interview, so I could iron your shirt and fix your tie. Guess I'll have to save it for next time.

I've also been busy myself. Working during the day, going out with parents sometimes. Trying very hard to find time for Jon Jon over the weekend when he comes out from camp. I really need to meet up with him again, at least once before I head back for Melbourne in 4 weeks time (less than that actually). 4 weeks seems like a long time, but it actually passes pretty fast. Scaringly fast.

Oh well, can't wait to go back. I miss my new home! And I miss going out with Kit Yee toooo!! We're going to get a trolley when I get back. HAHAHA!

OK OK. Enough said.
