I have been procrastinating for a long time, i kept giving excuses to myself that i will still have time to do the tax, ahh .. so many things to claim!, tax shouldn't be a problem, and etc ....
Yep, not until last week when D submitted her tax and she got back her tax refund within a week, i start to kick my own butt and start my to do my tax.
Yep, STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!

Wishlist
I would like to consider myself as a serious foodie, if i have lotsa money and be able to go restaurant hopping. That would be nice~
Well, at most, at the moment, i am doing part of the job that most foodie would do, yea
5 Ways to know you’re a foodie
1. Food travel
You would travel more than 50km (it could be more than 20km) for food be it seafood, vegan food, crap food, whatever food. For you, travels would have to be done in the name of food and that’ll be good.
2. Blog Hopping
You would have read up or at least feasted your saliva and eyes upon sinful pictures of food from other blogs. Well, that isn’t even enough for you. You woudl follow up by reading up on recipes/restaurants/reviews before trying out that place or food.
3. Restaurant Hopping
Hopping from one restaurant to another to apease your tastebuds is your hobby/temp job. You know the best places for Japanese, Chinese, Greek etc food.
4. Mind numbing
You start to wonder if you’re just plain hungry or plainly speaking, numbed mentally by the amount of food floating through your cranial regions. The first thing that comes out from your mouth, “Oh food!”
5. Tongue Wagging
Haha, nothing beats having a wagged tongue at the sight of food. I bet most of you are guilty as charged. And it’ll be, “Wow!” “Yum!” “Hmmm” to “Oh food is glorious” and hence your tongue starts to irrevebrate to pulsating movements.
Those category in orange colour is my favourite past time, especially no2. Blog Hopping. I do that quite often, sometimes i drool my eyes over the super delicious menu, and then i can't remember which restaurant really impressed me with their menu that pull me into their restaurant one day. So incase i forgot what restaurant i would like to go in the future, i will pen down my wishlist so that i have somewhere to refer to next time.
There you go, my wishlist, for my personal reference: (in no particular orders)
1. The Loose Box
2. K's Restaurant
3. Cream Restaurant
4. Bouchon Bistro
5. Jackson's
6. Tsunami
7. The Raffles
8. Star Anise
9. The Mussel Bar
10. Nine Fine Food
11. Twisted Fork
The above 10 wishlist restaurant are the ones that is highly rated, overly priced and serve exquisite food.
Here are my another wishlist which i think i could try them all out pretty soon. (The more down-to-earth restaurant):
1. Yuki Sushi (Willeton)
2. "Da Wan Mein" (Big Bowl Noodles in Northbridge)
3. Outback Jack's & Grill (Freo)
4. Ha-Lu Japanese Restaurant (My Hawthorn)
5. Ruocco's Pizzeria Bar & Restaurant
That's it for my wishlist, hope that i'll be able to do a dining reviews on all of the restaurant listed above, doesn't matter if they are pricey or cheap. Heh ~

Let's make this a FOOD BLOG!!
Hi people ... anyone ... here ~~~
maybe not anymore, hahaha, have been kept quiet for a long long long time due to the lack of dramas n happening in life.
So, i was thinking, maybe i should just change this into a food blog instead, i think i got more stuff to talk about food at the moment than small little things that happened in life.
Yea *nods* *nods* just turn this into a food blog. Hah!

Gorgeous Boy
Ever since the news of Mark Feehily of Westlife turned gay, I haven't been acting like a fans idoling a gorgeous looking guy for a long long long time.
This new found guy that i am going to mention, he is not a superstar, he is not a singer, he is not a band player, he is not a Hollywood actor nor Bollywood actor, he is not someone from the radio, he is not someone that host a TV show, he is not my co-worker, he is not my neighbour, he is not the guy that work at a petrol station, he is not the guy who work at one of the fast food chain store, he is not someone that i know nor someone from the media.
He is just an annoymous guy that appear in K-Mart, Target, Big W and Myer's (They are like US's Wall Mart or M'sia Carrefour and Isetan department store) weekly shopping catalogue modelling for .......
......
....
...
..
.
UNDERWEAR!!!
Yes, men's underwear!
Every week when i am acting like an auntie looking what and where is cheaper to buy. Over the past few month, i discover that this guy is so cute. He's got the eyes that girls dream of, the smile that we all hogging for, the BODY, yes the body.
Everytime when i flip through the catalogue, i saw him, i will tell D that how hot he is .
However, of all the ahem ... underwear modelling picture of him, the best of all, the one that gave us - GIRLS (trying to generalise here) the best fantasy is this week K-Mart Catalogue.
I don't know his name, i don't know what he does for living, i don't know except for underwear modelling what else he does, but i wish to know him better, wish i know his name and i could search for him online and hope that he will turn big big big, so that i can see him more.
(you might want to click on it to see clearer)
A picture like this, i just can't stop looking at him, i mean his face and his body (not his baggage k).
So, to make myself happier evertime i log into my computer.
(you might want to click on it to see clearer)
If there is something like this, or i could afford something like this, i wish, i have a lifesize picture board of this picture, just to put it at the corner of my room door....
Muahaha, as if he is coming into my room and say "hey girl!"

Topic-less
Nah, nothing much recently really. I was doing editing this photo out of boredom, not because i discover some new technique to photoshop just because i am quite fond of white background, clean, crisp, stand out.
I am supposed to finish off my assignments which are due next wednesday. Hah! People must have thought "how come cookery course has got assignment to do", yea right, we're not just cooking ya know, we have tons of paper work to do and to study (those boring stuff about food hygiene or special dietery and cultural group).
Instead of doing assignment, i am always, always distracted with TV programmes, games and more recently facebook!! Especially those extra application like Texas Hold'em Poker, Blackjack, Scramble and just loitering around. (yea and blogging now)
Oh well, this way of life wouldn't last long though, this would be my last student life ever (probably...), after next week, i'll be working heaps. And i will be so busy and tired of my working and maybe i won't get much time to go online too! (Hmm, at the moment i still have abt 980++ of unread mails.)
Anyhow, i would like to have a simpler lifestyle, where i life like a normal person, having my family and friends around, travel at least once a year, go out on the weekend. The question is 'When am i gonna have this kind of lifestyle?'
I wasn't intend to blog, i was intending to just put up that picture and see it looks like on a white colour page. And then, i started writing things that i don't know what i am writing.
Wonder if people still reading my blog?
Wonder if people whom i read their blog last time still updating their blog?
Carmen, i m reading your blog though!

Real Random
Ok, What's the date today, 4th of Oct 2007, OMG, i can't believe i actually leave this blog blank for ...4 months!!!
Sorry, i know some ppl read this blog to find out what i am up to, even though i don't keep in touch that much but we sort of know what we are doing at the moment because of the power of blogging!!!
But ... hehehe, sorry for not updating in the past 4 months.
The past 4 months has been a full full on 4 months. Just a short update for all you guys what happened within that 4 months!
1.Around June, i was looking for houses to move.
2.Then at the same time, i was busy doing assignment before the semester end.
3.Then we found a house, and we have to pack our everything in the old house and move within a week!! (Full On)
4.Move house and buy furniture n fixture for the house, sort of struggle with money at the time.
5.Then new semester starts, and i have to dedicate abt 30 hours in a week just to TAFE plus 20 hrs a week for work.
6. Visit Ikea for several times, every trip that we went we will come back with something
7. within 2 weeks, we have fix up (i mean D-I-Y) almost everything that we bought for the house, including beds, tables, cabinets, couches, lights etc without any help of a humankind with nuts.
8. after a several months of wait, i finally got a spot working in the kitchen, and i have to say goodbye to my waitressing position at the same restaurant.
9. starting a new job position in the same restaurant is not that hard, but something got me so frustrated n upset is the ppl and the system
10. while i am still struggling with money and work stuff, i have my worse week ever. Our beloved car went to Holland (die on us)
11. Look for a new car and found one, have to borrow money from friends to pay it off.
12. Still visiting Ikea to buy some furnitures, now my house is full of Ikea smell.
13. Had my hair cut!
14.Held housewarming party just a week ago
15.Went to LT Graduation ceremony
16. Someone younger than me ask me if i m interested in a casual domestic partnership, which i am totally not into it!
17. Started my 2 weeks break and looking forward to a nice and cosy fortnight.
18. On Ebay to bid on the LP perth concert ticket that i missed on buying the ticket and now have been sold out.
19. Finally i got time to go out for shopping, enjoy the sun, enjoy the wildernest and my PS2.
20. And here i am to be able to write down a short summary.
I know, within this period, some of my friend went home for good, kinda miss them though! Don't know what they are doing now!
Haih..... right now, i am kinda inspired by Kenny Sia and Nicole to be able to travel so often!! When would it be my turn?

Hah! At last
Finally, blogger has introduce a new feature - picture on your header.
I've been wanted to do this for like a year, i photoshopped the picture and wanted to upload it on my site and make it look pretty, but i don't know how cuz i don't all those html thingy, and so i left it there til rotten!
Good thing with digital file, they will not rot, they will either be there forever or gone missing forever.
A year ago, i spent time choosing all the photos i had, pick which one to be included, minimised them, colour tone them ... and there goes my collection of some of my fav pictures/moments in my life (that i had them in digital format)
Spot yourself in one of the pictures? try it, though it is kinda eye squeezing to do that! Haha, good luck then ;)

Good food, good meal, good chef
It might not look that good, but it tasted good!
Thai Seafood Red Curry
Same thing, bare with me with the garnish, becuz i don't store parsley or basil at home ....
Homecook Malaysian style Hokkien Mee
Using yee mee this time, because when i'm going to open the pack of "Aussi" hokkien noodle, it got mould in it :( gotta throw it away and replace something else, cuz i already prepare all the ingredient. Eh ... the hokkien noodle i made it actually tasted quite good you know!! (Cuz i got the recipe from my aunt .. muahaha)
Pan fried Peri-peri mix Blue Spot Emperor with baby spinach salad
It kinda suck everytime you feel like you cook a good meal but it doesn't look as good as if i am eating at a restaurant. Food is very simple, we don't talk about those fancy or complicated food garnish, just a simple parsley or coriander leaf on top of the food, it just stand out completely and make them look so pretty.
So, i kinda can't bare with it anymore ...
so ~~
from left to right: they are Parsley, Basil, Coriander
My new baby, uhm ... except for the Coriander, it's belongs to D.
Now, home cook food can look as good!
Chargrilled Stuffed Mushroom Duxelle with Melted Cheese, Vincotto, Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes
A better view of it
This is B'day present for LT my housemate, becuz she is vegetarian so it kinda crack my head to think of something creative and non asian vegetarian meal for her. She was impressed, I am impressed with myself and happy! Hooray! (See the parsley ontop make such a big difference if it is not there)
Steam Green Tea Chicken Salad with Italian dressing
Tried something new on this, i marinade the chicken with some salt then off to the steamer with green tea as the water for steaming, i thought i get the infusion from the green tea to the chicken, but it turn out no green tea taste on the chicken! Ok, experiment failed, but the chicken is good too (luckily i marinaded with salt at the beginning) so does the Italian dressing for the salad. Oh, why i'm eating salad! I am not a big salad fans, but you know, i-don't-know-why/how I gain so much weight, so i tot it is time to go on a diet, eating some vege, be more healthy!
Speaking of staying more healthy, eating more healthy food, but i just couldn't help myself indulging into high cholestrol food; such as
Chilled Prawns Salad with I-made-myself cocktail sauce
Uhm... the prawns look like cramping in a bus, ya i got more prawns than salad .... can't help it Woolies is having promotion on cooked prawns what and i love prawns! !
Ok, enough of self promotion, let's showcase some delicated cute stuff
CANAPES ~~ (look at the big fat prawns, irressitable)
Made this from TAFE, so it is not homecook. Who on earth would do this at home for normal meals right!
I know, if someone is reading this post, they might tot that i am siao, promote myself like that, everything also say taste good but that is not the main point, the main point is i enjoy cooking and cooking is an art! :)
So, when are you free to try my food?
