randomness

YAY i am blogging again because i have finally thought of something to blog about. Soo today i went to Bob's kitchen for lunch =D had dumplings, some other dish and one of my favourites.. the taro (yam) pancake. The reason for it being my favourite is not only the brilliant taste, but the texture.. crunchy on the outside.. warm gooey chewy on the inside!

In there we were surprised to see someone that we hadn't seen for a long time. We saw the sister of the owner of Fortuna Village in China Town, which has closed down already ><.. She told us her brother has opened up a new restaurant in Nunawading. Supposedly it's famous for it's Peking Duck. I think i read that somewhere in the newspaper once. We also saw my dad's friend Peter. He's just bought a new Honda Civic. He's a nice guy.. regularly acting as a food critic for us, telling us good and bad restaurants.

After lunch we went into the neighbouring asian grocery which has reopened after a fire ripped through it. Supposedly the police have found no evidence to how the fire had started.. but i have my own opinions... At the moment, one of the other asian grocers in Kings Way called Win Sam owns about 5 shops. I suspect that they deliberatly lit fire to this grocer to try and get rid of their competition. Pretty cool theory aye xD

That grocery is my new favourite asian grocer due to the fact that they have so much imported food from Malaysia <3

KOPIKO <3
SHANDY <3 Lemonade with a hint of beer. When i was 10 in Malaysia, my cousins from Kota Kinabalu introduced me to this stuff. I was addicted straight away. Oh and im allowed to buy it because shandy in a can has a very diluted alcohol content =D
HONEY STARS! <3 one of my favourite cereals in Malaysia. Also doubles as a nice crunchy snack xD
I didnt buy this, but i found it quite funny. I think it was tomato flavoured twisties, and as you can see... FOR SALE IN MALAYSIA ONLY o_o

Today i also went swimming for the first time in over 6 months. Me and my sister went to Monash Uni to use their pool. I dont think i've been there in over 4 years and it looks the same although everything seems smaller.. until you hop in the pool. So since there were lessons being held me and my sister decided to do laps. 40 laps of the 25m pool. not bad for a return.... o_o but it's okay im not a pro swimmer, i stopped after each lap xD and also decided to walk a few... i've also realised how unfit i am.. i got tired after 8 laps and also my arms were hurting after 5.. ><

Anyway this post has already gone for too long.. and i had more to say xD so ill post it for you another time.

BLAH BLAH

HELLOOOO! i know i havent blogged in a while, so very sorry about that.

soooo.. this guy called tom loo introduced me to yam milk tea with
pearls at bubble cup! It was weird but i liked it! it had a bit of a chocolatey taste to it though.. but i guess that's yam. So last weekend i went to glenny and walked into happy cup to get myself yam milk tea with pearl.... sooo i took a sip and... WTF IS THIS SHIT O_O

Sooo the day after was Wensi's party. We went to Waverley Cinema at pinewood to watch HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3! WILDCATS!! It wasnt as bad as i thought it would be... and then afterwards we went to maccas for a childrens party! brings back memories xD

So.. we were required to wear formal to her party... so that's why we're all in suits ><. We took this photo after watching the movie. Not bad is it xD
Sooo today i went to Hungy's house for his famous LAN party for the first time. So computer games included... CS, DotA, DoW and AoE2! We also played pool and table tennis in Hungy's wreck room. AND.. i beat stoof in spit! BUAHAHAHAA (i didnt cheat this time =D)

As some of us were getting a little hungry, me, Stoof and Clare went out to safeway to grab some snacks.. but instead Stoof decided she wanted to cook something to eat. So.. we bought some steak, gravy, potatoes, milk and cream and we made some pretty nice steak and mashe potatoes.. im sorry to say this.. but Clare u fail at cooking xD and also HUNGY CLEAN UR KITCHEN o_O (sooo like while searching through pots and pans.. we found many still coated in oil and one which still had quite a bit of oil still in it ><) *oh yes and stoof mashed a bit too hard and bent hungy's potato masher.... O_O*
