My mid term result is not as good as I expected! Let's put that aside for now, it's holiday!!

Well, I think this year my easter break is not bad as compared to last year. Last year I spent 4 days 3 nights in Gold Coast and went to all the theme parks. I definitely spend less this holiday.

will update the GOMA pics and some more food pics soon :)

Comedian driver

Today went Brisbane city library because I know i will have a lot of free time next week, so I am going to borrow a book to burn my time next week. Then I went casino with friends. That was all in the plan. I won 10 dollar, that was not in the plan, LOL.

My initial plan after casino is to go crazy clark and get some stuff then go back home for dinner. Who knows when i went crazy clark at 4.30, already tutup. Since I won 10 dollar, i thought i should treat myself nice dinner tonight, so i followed my friends for korean food, again.

Everything was normal, until i board the bus back home. I think my bus driver want to be a comedian but end up being a driver. He was friendly and funny. After we all went in the bus, he switched off the engine and walk to the back of the bus and started talking to his passenger. He asked what we did in the city today then talk a bunch of crap and joke around, LOL.

When we about to leave, a police car pass by, he acted like he is the convict and try to duck and avoid being seen by the police. Haha, what a bus ride.

It's not over yet.

When we reached another main stop, he said he is early by 2 minutes, so he left his driver seat and started talking to us. Then a woman came in looking for the driver, he hid at the back of the chair, LOL! After that, he start talking to the woman, bla bla bla, and found out its her birthday. He asked us to sing her birthday song and he gave her a free ride. Hahaha.

At least this driver is nice, friendly and always smile, not like some driver always show the emo face. I see that also no mood already.

Most dumbo photo of the night

Few days ago, my two housemates just got their cloth delivered here which they bought online, which is very cheap, which is so unfair why guys stuff cannot be that cheap!! So they tried on and wanted to take picture, and this is what we did. We played with my laptop webcam effect. Haha. Oh yeah, haven't really introduce my housemates, will do so soon.

Alrighty, time to study for my exam.

Procrastination 101

My ex housemate once told me a joke.

Lecturer: Good morning, welcome to Procrastination 101.

Students: Good morning, sir.

Lecturer: Today we will not be doing anything, lets continue tomorrow. Class dismiss.

Laugh la, if not he will emo leh. LOL.

But seriously, i have been procrastinating (omg, so hard to type this word) for so long already. Yesterday I said i will study for my exam, ended up watching show whole day. Today I said I will be studying, now is 10pm already and i didnt even touch my notes at all. I promised myself I will study tomorrow, and i have a feeling I will be watching show during my free time again.

Maybe I really am those that last minute people. Must be last minute only willing to start working. Must be last minute study only its effective. Its just like gambling, high risk high return. Haha.

Today went Edamame for dinner, because all my housemates never been there before! WHY! WHY you all no eat EDAMAME? So I decided to bring them there to try out how nice it is. Trust me, its nice :) UQMSA member got 10% discount somemore. Why not? I had Beef teriyaki, first time trying, not too bad.

Beef Teriyaki.

Photo by Melissa, dont worry, i will cite you.

Let's hope tomorrow i will start worrying and start flipping my notes..

Sunday..

Haih, another sian Sunday. Everyone is either studying for midterm or rushing assignment. My only entertainment is my laptop+internet. Yea, just started the first episode of 巾幗梟雄, i know, this show was super long time ago already, but i heard its very nice, so i shall watch it, looks like it will be a long way to go.

Was wondering how to cheer up my housemates, since they all are so stress. Then i look at the pantry, hmmm flour. Why not do pan mee.

And so I started doing at 11.30. The first round turned out not that good, it was too soft and I made too little for 4 people. So I made another round, this time it was ok. I wanted to make like those long long noodle, but after doing a few, i too lazy already so changed to those 'yat gao' one which is easier cause just tear it then throw into water and you're done. Haha.

Not too bad. Third time doing pan mee in Brissy, got room for improvement.

Which pic is nicer top or bottom 1, me and mel was arguing whos picture of it is nicer.

Anyway, easter break is coming, looks like will be staying in Queensland again, maybe gold coast again? Shall try another round of Springbrook, whos up for it? :)

First Exam of The Year

rawr!

Today I had my first exam of year 2011. Well, not really first, if you count in those quizzes, but its still an official mid-term paper! Accounting, this time i really very last minute only started studying, all thanks to HK drama. I was watching 绝代商交 last week, and yesterday i left 2 more episode to 大结局, being me, of course i wont wait until i finished my paper only continue watching right, so i continue to finish the drama. End up having less and less time to study.

My principle for exam is that I wont touch anything on the day of the exam, unless the exam is at later part of the day, if not, i really won't go revise or read anymore text and notes on that day itself. That is because I think my brain need to rest before the big fight, don't go stress your brain somemore before exam, so that during exam later will be fresher and more semangat. That's my philosophy la. Haha, and i also think that it is important to have enough sleep the day before exam.

see, first time so stress

Yesterday, I slept late, woke up early and started studying, I didn't follow my philosophy. That day I really scared already, I know i won't be able to finish if i don't speed up. So end up waking up at 6 today and study the whole morning till 11, even before going into exam hall also reading notes. So not me.

Well, at least it's worth it. I managed to finish the question and quite confident about my answer.

The next paper will be on Friday, I shall continue to slack while waiting for that day to come :) maybe start another drama.

As I said earlier, will try to do this, claypot tofu without the claypot. Got the look can already la.

Oh, and today i solo groceries shopping, first went indooroopilly Woollies, then went toowong Coles. At first i thought of going Coles tomorrow, but im lazy to go out again so might as well all buy one shot and walk up the super steep slope back to my house! Why solo? cause im nice :) my housemate semua rush assignments and exam, so i have to take care of them, Haha. and cook for them.

Off to prepare dinner.

why so serious.

A: Hey! Its your chance to shine, Masterchef Malaysia is here!

B: Really?! OMG! I'm so gonna join and win it!

A: Yeah! We all will support you wei!

B: I think i cant join la. (After checking the masterchef website)

A: Why not? Scare lose ah?

B: No la, I'm just confuse

Exam is coming up this Saturday and im still slacking! normal me la. Haha

Yesterday while having Econometric class, we were learning about regression. The lecturer did an example on effect of race and gender on wages. I was thinking in my mind, and i hope the result will surprise me! LOL

You know what, race there are 2 categories, black and white. Gender also 2 categories, male and female. After all the theory and stuff, then the regression result came out, and the result is what WE expected. Yes, black and female both got negative coefficient, means if you fall into both that categories, your wages will be the lowest.

LOL! I mean isn't there better example to use other than this?? I was looking around the lecture hall when he was talking about this to see who got offended. Haha. Maybe he took the example from the textbook, but still!? why so racist? why so sexist?

Talking about male and female. I found something quiet funny on the Astro website. I was told by my friend that there will be a Masterchef Malaysia. Im abit excited about it, although i know i wont join or anything, but i would say, there are a lot of good chef in Malaysia, seriously. Just look at the past 2 seasons of Masterchef Australia, both finals also got Malaysian! How proud is that! Yea, back to topic, so i went to their website and check.

Tell me what you see is funny on that page. Just in case the link above doesnt work. Here is a screenshot of that page.

Which bring me back to the conservation between A and B above. I stoned at the first condition for a while, then went back and read again, then read for the third time. Why so sexist?!

some random pic of claypot tofu, which i will try to make tomorrow :)

The Day The Recipe Fail

Few days ago, I suddenly got the urge to eat 葱油饼. Then I know i won't able to get it here in Brissy, so I decided to DIY! Found a recipe, very the simple, only need flour, water and spring onion.

So today when i trying to make the pastry, super FAIL! It's so sticky and not bouncy as per recipe. LOL! So i just add somemore flour and oil to make it "look nice and Q" haha. It turned out not too bad :)

I cooked 腐竹薏米 just in case the spring onion cake doesn't turn out nice

I used beer bottle to flatten the pastry. Too cheapskate to buy a proper roller.

Still sticky and the spring onion 出水 ==

But it turned out not too bad wei! can eat can eat

Think will be the 1st and last time doing this, it takes a long time and quite tiring, Haha. Its totally worth it, cure my craving for this delicious 葱油饼!
