.....finally turned 22
feeling? Getting old...and probably not matured enough to be 22..or my thinking is probably not compatible to a 22 year old! HAHA....so much more to learn and to make decisions like a matured person in life. Well another year wiser that is :)
Celebrated my b'day at my Malaysian friend's hse. Had a potluck party, lots of good food..mix culture on the dinning table comprising of sushi, fried rice noodles, bbq chicken, curry puffs, brownies, junk food and last but not least home made choc mud b'day cake by my friend Shaz. The house was nicely decorated with balloons...which was a great surprise. It was hard to break the ice in the beginning...everyone was shy to talk to each other..leading to a division of 2 groups...the archi students and the health science students..isolated! Sooner or later after my friend turned on some music..warming up the atmosphere...everything went well. My coursemate and i were trying to think of a game, but most of it required chairs which was insufficient. Most of the time spent was talking..taking pics and videos..and i was asked to give a speech!! Everyone had a share of speeches as well. Later that night, everyone headed to the pub. Drinks and dance time!! Overall it was good fun! A memorable 22nd b'day..not to forget lovely cards and bday wishes from friends out there!B'day prezies:

My wall, filled with cards now...hehehe
Cards i received this year!The pass few days was hetic for me, sleepless nights, pimples pooping out from all that stress and even more dominant dark circles.....i wsa rushing to finish two major assignments..both 2000word essays worth 40%. One for Sociology and another OT Case study on a Stroke patient. Dont think i will do well for both essays...sigh. Oh well fingers crossed. Didnt realise i borrowed so many lib books..4 unused out of 17books. Someone put one of the books on-hold and i couldnt return it on time..so currently $1 fine recorded! LOL..i guess nothing will happen..unless u went over certain amount of limits and the uni will suspend u or something..haha.
My taste bud found a new liking...and its under my fav food list at the moment:
Crumpet..topped with avocado + cheese + pinch of pepper + seasoning...microwaved for bout 1min..i guess would be nicer if its bake in the oven.Havent had a good meal for the pass few days and my fresh food was running low. Finally cooked a nice meal last night. I have 1 sweet potato and 4 small potatoes kept in the fridge for a couple of weeks already, and the potatoes doesnt look as fresh anymore...so decided to just cook it. THought of mum's homecook dish, yam plus mince meat..lol but i substitute the yam with potatoes...added bit of tomato based sauce ...frozen left over from the last time i cooked it with fish..(another inspired homecook food by mom..tomato fish)...and bit of soy sauce..cuz i was trying to make it saucy. Had some left over brocolli, 1 carrot, and a massive eggplant...so i cook veg curry..bought this lee kum kee pre-made veg coconut curry sauce..quite good..but bit sweet..i guess it matches the Aussie's taste bud. They have other sort of pre-made sauce as well..sweet and sour pork, mongolian lamb...it comes in a packet form. Good for convinience!
Satisfying dinner....Alright off to bed...another busy week coming up! Till then. Spring is coming...Gd bye cold weather!
