My Next Three Years

My next three years(from Feb 22nd 2010 onwards).....

will be all about studying in University of Queensland
will be all about meeting new international students from all over the globe
will be all about missing my close friends
will be all about being INDEPENDENT
will be all about going through all my late night revisions alone without mom staying up with me
will be all about missing my daddy and mommy while in a whole new environment
will be all about chatting with my parents using video call
 will be about missing the comfort of my HOME, my bed and everything else in my home
will be all about shooing away lizards(Can't even stand looking at them) without any help from daddy


Why am i making this so sad? being emo i guess...it's not like i'm goin to stay there without coming back every year, i will surely come back every year. So,gotta switch my emotions =)

From February 22nd 2010...

hopefully i will be able to cope with Economics
and better still-do well in it
hopefully i will develop a passion towards Econs
hopefully i will find some crazy and caring close friends
hopefully i will let myself be persuaded by last minute outings and join in the fun
hopefully i will be able to stand up for myslef and be less naive  
hopefully i will catch a big 'FISH'
(that's a bonus if it does happens =D, the fish doesn't literally means the fish we eat, it's the 'fish' Pn Lim Li Li always refers too...hahahaha! )
hopefully my many close friends in M'sia will still remain my close friends
(if u consider yourselves as one of my close friends, then you are one)
(do update me with all the happenings- bf's, gossips etc...)
hopefully i will control my spendings $$$ now that nobody will be nagging me about it
hopefully my good 'friend' the cicaks don't come face to face with me (DON't come and find me)
lastly,
hopefully i will love my program, UQ,  Aussie and the people there!

32@The Mansion restaurant

Location: 32, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Penang, Malaysia  (Just type the name of the restaurant using Google Earth and you will get the location)




Went there for Mummy's Birthday last December. i thought we have to wear like super formal since the facade of the mansion look so expensive. but i was wrong. You don't have to.

very nice interior and ambience. love the place we had our dinner.

can't really remember the exact names of the dishes though



fresh bouquet of flowers at the centre of every table



House Special Salad
-fresh greens with a soury sauce has a combination of lemon, lemongrass and other herbs

 

Chicken cutlets seasoned and coated with cheese served with fettucine(or linguine?) and tomato sauce





Fish with some kind of creamy sauce and pine nuts



BBQ Chicken and duck on sticks. the duck was not really cooked, don't really like it.



hot chocolate brownie cake with vanilla ice-cream topped with almond flakes



Freshly baked apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream



the side entrance


Other dishes not displayed:

Crab Bisque:
a very creamy soup with a very 'crabby' taste. suitable for those who love the very dense crab taste. very easily "jelak". The Wild Creamy Mushroom Soup suits most people.

Garlic Bread:
One of the nicest I've tasted so far

Mom's Codfish & Mussels with a type of sauce ( from the Chef's Recommendations Menu):
taste better than the fish with pine nuts

Homemade Brown sugar Ice-cream with coconut sauce:
Quite a refreshing dessert and it's the cheapest in the desserts section  =)

taste of all dishes was okay, not very very yummy. however i need to compliment on the presentation of the dishes(after all, it's fine dining mah) and the whole dining atmosphere.




First post in 2010

I was supposed to write about my New Year resolution for 2010 on 1st Jan 2010 but this blogger has been really lazy..to be honest, i don't have a particular new year resolution, just go on with the flow. i do not have plans for eg need to achieve this and that, have to buy this and that...that is why i am who i am today, a BORING person..hahahaha!

However this year i do hope i will meet good, fun and caring friends when i go over to Brisbane in February though i know it will not be an easy task(since i only have average social skills) Also, i wish i will be able to cope with all the new Econs concepts (keeping my fingers crossed =p) occasionally i still fear that i will hate the course la, haiyo, i shouldn't be thinking this way liao.

Time has been flying by for me this holidays. sleep late and wake up late.almost every week go QB. Waking up at 10.30 every morning and sleeping at 1 something really made my bodies system go cuckoo. i have one big acne now which is taking years to go away and my menstrual cycle is disrupted..ergh, HATE it! =(  so starting from this week, i have been improving my sleeping habit. sleeping at 12 midnight and wake up at 9am. this is the reason why i offline from Msn earlier than the time i used to in the past. =) I'm just hoping i can stick to this habit for long. 

i will show you guys more on food in the next few post. no mood to write emotional stuff.

note that I'm using various colours for the first post of the year so that it would not look dull as i wish 2010 will be a colourful year for me as well !!!
