firework

Went to Melbourne City's Yara River to watch fireworks for the Moomba Festival. Arranged the pictures in a way that the fireworks get better as it goes.

...and I lied. You wouldn't know a thing because I don't want to lose you.

Fire

To save all the trouble of explaining what happened, this picture will explain itself.

(lets just say iPhone4 camera is really not meant for good photography)

...at 4.20am this morning. I was sleepy and shivering in the cold morning even in my jumpers, because my body really do not generate as much heat when I'm awaken by a fire alarm during the midst of my deepest slumber.

In shape

Havent posted an entry for a long long long long long time. Well thats because I wasnt in a mood to do so but now I am. 

Life's been good, its not like I had it very easy either but, c'mon we learn things the hard way don't we? Class started and I've lost my way in the campus couple of times, and to top it off I was looking for my lecture hall in the way. It's fine! because I learnt to always bring my hoodie to prepare any extreme weather.

Was cooking 伊面, poured the soup on the bowl and was dumb enough to ATTEMPT to hold the bowl by itself instead of placing it on a flat dish which makes life 10x easier. Even burnt my fingers a little due to spillage. It's fine! because i know what to do the next time i cook the same dish. Moreover I also know the amount of spice to put into the soup next time. ( FYI: the mee was divine. totally had the msian feel to it, and its easy as hell to cook! dumb the spice, then the meat/fish balls, then the mee, drop the egg when mee's almost done and some veggie for a short moment before serving it)

Went friend's house and cook 叉烧，帝王鸡, and ABC soup. Well thats what I cooked and the rest contributed tofu, veggie, rice and dessert. Has the char siew sauce, literally exploded on a small corner of the frying pan coated with aluminum foil, and crash landed onto my shirt. It's fine! Because I'm getting better at cooking char siew. Although we were just a little lost shopping for ingredient (say only a 10% of it? ) I still say the three of us, cheayii alice and myself make good househusbands/wives. We owned that marketplace!

Went searching for part-time jobs in my campus for the past few days. Actually only approached two, one which is the Aquatic Centre, which is short for Monash Sport Complex's Swimming Pool. Didnt get any because I do not have any qualification but they were still nice to explain the situation to be thoroughly. It's fine! I have more courage of approaching stores and asking for part-time vacancies. Approached the sports complex's cafe and asked as well, oh wells, they do not have any vacancies so what can I do. 

Settling and finding the best room temperature sure is tricky because the weather is not consistent on one hand which makes my life very difficult sometimes, in short, the weather is such a bitch / its a PMS weather. It's fine! I learnt to improvise my room condition now, so instead of turning heater on a off and have extreme conditions in my room, i leave the heater on all day long, only opening the window/door to regulate the temperature. Furthermore I sleep with a wet tower next to my bed, which makes the air SO MUCH less drier. Got to give the credits to my mom for that...partially. She said put a cup next to my bed, but I put a wet towel. Bigger surface area, so on and so forth.

Followed my friends yesterday out from their house outside campus for a walk around the neighbourhood. Streets were really pitch black and there are hardly any street lamps. It's fine! I now know where and what kind of house I should be looking for next year. Browsed through a lot of potential units and of course, taking a peek into their house with everyone house and inspect the quality of the house. Walked down the store in the petrol station and found out they have porn magazines right on the shelves. Nice. Only that the plastic wraps covers 75% of the magazine front cover bottom-up. Not nice anymore. hehe.

Had a lot of fun, pain and lessons as well. Suffice to say, I'm living a fruitful life =).
