Taste

Okay, I am trying to be good and nice here. Updated two entry for the continuously 2 days. Hehehehe. Well, I have this vibe to write my blog every time in the city, but totally forgotten about the topics to write when I reach gippy. Maybe the boringness caught me when I reach MooMooLand. Hmm speaking of Moomooland, I better update it soon. Hahahaha.

Back to my title, yes taste. I was having Korean foods, when my Fat Aunt popped me a questions. Then I realised that I should probably post this up. She asked me, "Why do you love spicy foods so much when you hated heaps when you are small". Then only it hit me. I can't eat any spicy foods when I was small, all the way until I finish my high school and A-levels. I was known by my A-level friends as a person who doesn't eat any thing that is red and green in colour. I will turn red when I eat anything red. But not green when I eat anything green. Hahaha. And now? I can't live without having something spicy within the week.

The reason?
China and KL. I reckon they are my answer. Why so? Okay, it all happens when I went to China. When it snows, it is hard to get foods that is not spicy to taste nice. Hahaha. During winter, spicy foods becomes non-spicy foods when your hand is trembling due to cold..... Hahahaha. That is the beginning of my Spicy-eating-story. KL is just a mere enchanter, enhancing my spicy eating ability. Hahaha. Then when I go back Penang after these events, her foods become heaven to me. Hahahaha. Can't believe how much I had been missing. Hahahaha.

My free-loader housemates (Mary and Chanthu) were saying how choosy am I. Well if they knew me when I was young, they won't able to believe my choosiness, maybe end up running to their parent and cry like a baby girls. Heaps of foods that I don't eat last time seems okay to me now. Or I will be desperately in love with them. Hahahaha.

They said when you grow older, your taste will definitely change. Both in foods and gals. You may like certain kind of gal when you are young, and 10 years later, you will think that you are a damn fool for thinking that day. But certain gals or foods won't able to change your mind at all. Like long beans. They will never be my favorites in years to come, so is Fat Gals. Sorry for being sexist, or narrow-minded. I guess I am not the only one, who would like to have a girlfriend who you can only half-hug. Half-hug means your hands can't touch each other when you are hugging them, self-made by Lex. But being said that, I don't think I will mind if my wife become bloated after giving birth. Hahaha. Ooops. Oh wait, this entry is not about fat gals........

So what do you think about your own taste? Did they changed? or they stayed the same since you are small. (You can't be, because then you will prefer to eat sticky and gluey foods instead of Eye Ribs Steak) Please leave some comments. My blog has been pretty boring with me crapping all these time...........

I am Grateful

Well, for the passed few weeks, I was so shit-loaded sick, that I felt like dying. But then now that I am feeling better, I should be grateful for everything I have or had. Hahahhaa. I have not grab the pictures from Rona, so I can't upload the pictures from the City. Bare with me for awhile here, I am kinda lazy in updating my blog. Hehehehe. Anyway back to my gratefulness, I am listing stuffs that I am grateful off.

Here it goes:
  1. I am grateful to have such a loving family. Although my sister doesn't show it well, I know that she loves me dearly. Ooooh sound so touching. Hahaha
  2. I am grateful to have a loving Auntie and her close family. I am kinda spendthrift but my aunt understands that. Hahahaha
  3. I am grateful to have a "perfect" body. Mind the perfect, cause I am not totally perfect, but seems perfect as compared to other less fortunate people. I have 2 pairs of good hands with all fingers attached, and my legs are at same length and have equivalent toes. Hahahaha. I do have a face with proportional features.
  4. I am grateful to have friends who did take care of me while I am down and sick. Friends to chat until 4 am, although it is a bloody headache next morning when I go to lab. Hahahahhaa. Friends who will cook congee, and other good foods for me when I am sick. PS: Congee and porridge are sick people's foods for me.
  5. I am grateful to be able to get my testamur (I will post the testamur soon). Means I struggled and managed to finish my degree, without need to spend more money in buying it.
  6. I am grateful to live in Australia. Not everyone can afford to come over to Aus and do what I am doing, writing blog. Hahaha
  7. I am grateful for being full. Since some people don't have the money to buy their lunch while mine is full with good foods.
  8. I am grateful to be able to write this blog. If I were to be in some hectic countries where life is about making money, those people don't have a life. Yes I am grateful to have a life.
  9. I am grateful to have a shelter call half-home. Hahahha.
I can't think of anything good to write. Hahaha. Just be with this for now. Oh I am not showing off how good is my friends and my family, or how much money I have (which is not much at all). And don't get me wrong, Money is not everything to me. It can buy me clothes and bring me to foods, but everything you found other than money should be the most important; like friendships and TLC from family.

Barely Breathing

I am not dead yet okay. But someday last week, I felt I was better off dead....Had been sick for the past 1 week, this time is the worst since I came over to Aus. I know I will be sick weeks ago, but I don't have the time and nutrition to do anything good about that. Turns out the bug won't and I was down with cold..... Few days ago, I was coughing and sneezing and everything has been spinning around and round, plus my head felt heavy and hot..........Not a good sight. Then because I didn't have enough foods, lost my ever famous appetite, I almost faint after wake up from my sleep. Hahahahaha. Funny huh.

But thanks to those who cared about me, I felt way better now. But I am still being controlled by those bugs..... Time like these, just make me want to go back home, and get some of my mom's attention. Hahaha. Well being so damn far from home, we tend to be TLC-deprived.

There are heaps more event happened and I has been a bum for not getting them from friends and posting them up in this blog. Well I hope my laziness won't last forever and tried to upload some of the pictures for you guys (if there are people who are interested with my blog) Hahaha.

Still coughing dry cough. Every feeling has been drained by my sickness and I can't feel anymore...... Some days I can stare at the lappie without any expression at all..... Save me........

Xmas Comes Early This Year

Yesterday was rather hectic day. Early in the morning, I have had my first presentation..... It did not went according to what I planned for. It is the Honours student's presentations, where all of us are required to present our own project to everyone, and the presentation worth about 5 to 10 marks for our total Honours degree. Before it is my turn to present, I have these butterflies in my stomach. Can't seems to concentrate on Alicia's last presentation. All I heard are "paper and pulp", "MS-MS" and "they are good".

Then comes my presentation. I have cold sweat with smashing the pointer so that I can use the laser. Rather freaked out..... My introduction was a bit dodgy, but once I reach the methodologies section, I am already well off, because I know what I am doing by that time. After the presentation, I felt like I just the whole bomb away! Then I can really sit down and listen to what my fellow Honours students got to say. Hahahaha.

After presentation, I was kinda tired. But I need to rush my project so that I can incubate the microorganisms into the rotary incubator for the weekend. I know my supervisor is so desperate to go home, but because I need to continue with my project, she can't go back early. She is not pretty happy about at first and finally gave in.

I finished the experiment 1 hour earlier, scared she will becomes grumpy later on. Then comes dinner, which is a free dinner by Badminton Club. Then there was this Birthday party and the last party for the semester (as if). The party is the conjugation for Ken, Arjun and Varun's Bday. Booze were everywhere, and people were totally wasted after that. Luckily, thank god, I am not!!!!!! I start filling water into my beer bottle after 3 beer and 1 shot of Absinthe and 1 shot of Vodka......... This time I know how to control myself! Hahahaha. I keep on running away from one of my friends, because she heard that I will become very cute (=.=|||) when I am drunk......So been trying to make me drunk the whole nite, end up getting herself drunk. Sweat.......

Okay okay, back to my title. Why I put this title, when the first half of my entry totally unrelated to my title. Hahaha. Anyway, Jason Chan's (Hooi Yee's cousin) mom came over to Aus. AND she brought something nice with her when she comes over!!! TAU SAH PIAH!!!!!!! AND AND Jason gave 1 packet (5 of them) to me. Yippie!!!!!!!! Tau sah piah is flaky sweet of baked wheat with the filling of red bean paste. The most important thing is they are from HIM HEANG!!!!!! Oh God, those really bring back some memories!!!!! I ate them yesterday, after my presentation, and I felt like I was brought back to Heaven....... Hahahhaa. But I need to finish the tau sah piah by today, because the expire date is on the day before yesterday.

Acknowledgement: Jason Chan for giving me the Tau sah piah and Shing Jia for taking the photo of them!
