sh0cked!

while jogging, jus recalled an incident that both nik & me witnessed 2 days ago during our groceries-shopping..

we're queuing for the cashier & there's this family paying for their stuffs in front of us - a mom, a big sis (13-15yrs) & toddler boy (at most 2 yrs).

have no idea what happened but the toddler started his 'crocodile tears' however, the big sis is trying to console him.. N jus suddenly out of nowhere, the toddler pointed his middle finger at his sis while staring furiously at her!!!!!

what the freaking hell?!!!! *damn disgusted!* =S

the sis was so embarrassed when she knew we saw that..

i mean.. can u even imagine what sort of home environment does these kids grow up in??! the toddler's freaking 2 yrs old, can't even pronounce a few words & yet he knows how to point the middle finger.. *damn*

$@%^&^%(*^#@!#

*introducing. . . . . *

* Mr. Kevin Wong - our chicken chopper!*
hee =p

*artistically-displayed chicken*

lol'

*juicy!*

our famous Aussie Chicken Rice! =p

and this girl here is super 'sua ku' lor.. 1st time in my life i did or experience cooking for offerings.. =p nv did know that food for offering, eg chicken, duck or fish all must be in full w head & tail etc.. really is an experience.. & of cos, the chicken rice is superb. haa *big laughs*

- congrats to the 2 future great chief, Nik & Jan!! -

heee =P

N i've cooken chicken liver ytd.. *weee..* was v tasty too.. *lick* nv did expect it to be good cos was my first time touching raw chicken liver (abit gross) as well as cooking it.. haa.. but i did good in the end *big smiles!!*

oh oh.. 1st time i've seen an ellipse last night however didn't really the patience to wait the whole process.. but, heard that ytd night's ellipse is red!! -amazing..- =P

so.. we gonna cook baked pumpkin w kangaroo meat today..! oohh.. and before u guyz start saying *gross* or *disgusting*.. Kangaroo is one of the most popular meat here in Aussie after Beef.. that's cos they have ample kangaroo around & kangaroo meat are 98% fat-free so am supposing-ly v healthy =) however, shld anyone of u wanna try cooking kangaroo meat, pls grab the marinated meat instead of the one w/o marinate .. it's super raw, smells damn bad, taste v 'raw' too.. =S no kidding.. *hee* thus i guess most kangaroo meat sold here are marinated.

was cutting & marinating the kangaroo meat for dinner tonight but i jus can't get the small off my hands even after soaping.. soo...

Beware of the Kangaroo!

hee *laughs*

jus went for my 1st vaccine shot of Gardasil aka Cervical Cancer Vaccine.. had a jab at school this morning & No.. it's not free.. (free for Aussie only.. =S ) it's 150 bucks per shot X 3shots =450bucks.. *weee....* i know, i know.. super expensive but it's actually cheaper here as compared w SG so decided to get it here =P

but my arms are super sore!! (feels as exactly the same as the HB jab - equally sore) can't lift heavy stuff, even a bowl also can't..! %$@#&^%*&(

*sigh* and i still have another 2 more shots to go.. =S

* jab jab *

underwater w0rld @ sunshine c0ast =P

went Sunshine Coast ytd morning to it's Underwater World..

it ws a freaking 3hrs drive from Gatton to sunshine coast thru' Warrego Highway to Brisbane City before hitting Bruce Highway..

*OMG!!* my butt went 'zzzz...' la..!! *haaa* =P

can't believe that me - being the passenger at the backseat - can be soo tired out in the drive & what more can i say abt the drive, Abby (our Aussie new fren)? *poor Babe* Abby got abit lost while driving us back from Sunshine Coast & she got so apologetic.. - no worries babe -

however,

*thank you soo much Abby, for the comfie car ride in yr Toyata Echo* -big smiles-

left Gatton ard 8.45am & only reach Sunshine Coast ard 11.45am *phew..* had our lunch @ The Wharf (where the underwater world is..) & we've got fresh seafood! (i think.. hee =p) it was a family-sized seafood platter.. hee & it was fried! so no idea whether was it really fresh a not though.. hee =P oh well, but the fish does taste abit fishy.. *big laughs!* they have huge fried crab-stick that looks like fried sausage lah.. hee :)

Underwater World is something like the one at our Sentosa but then again, it was not as good as the one Sentosa had.. =P ha, really..!

maybe we being Singaporeans really did take Singapore for granted.. always complaining 'about this, about that'. For eg, the transportation at SG is gonna increase its fares again in such a short period of time.. & we're complaining non-stop.. but do u know how much transportation really cost in Aussie?? *v v ex!!*

their normal bus ride is at least $2 and it can go up to $7 per trip.. how ex is it?!! *imagine* their train ride to get to the Airport is already at least $7-$10 depending on location.. well, SG's MRT at most also nv go past $2.. haa =P - am jus making a comparsion though -

really am learning to appreciate all that SG has now.. we have so much World-Class stuffs that we didn't know about & took for granted off.. & the few best examples are our Zoo, Night Safari, Sentosa, Underwater World.... hee *big laughs*

i love singap0re.. *hearts*

the whole weather at Aussie is just plain CRAZY!

sun, drizzle, sun, cloud, sun, st0rm..

- totally unpredictable -

:)

- our seafood platter -

*yummy!*

The Wharf

(taken jus as the st0rm is blowing-in again..)

- Underwater World -

- can't resist touching those Starfishes -

those starfishes are really v colourful.. & they are v soft as well, that is until i started picking it up then it stiffen up, like a wooden block..

ha, look damn fake as well wor..

oh, touched sea-cucumber as well! ha, that was extremely soft-touching.. hee

:)

then we're treated to a stingray feeding session =P

did u know that we are actually touch the 'barb' aka sting of a stingray w/o getting the venom?

cos u'll have to really agitate or frighten the stingray so much that it will sting u hard enough to break it's own skin in order for the venom to come in contact w our flesh ..

*oh.. looking that those big stingray & my mouth goes all watery thinking of BBQ stingray
w lots of sambal chilli toppings*

- saliving! -

- amazing isn't it? -

*big smiles*

- cheers!!! -

gloomy day..

am sitting in my car w nik & using laptop tapping on school's wireless network.. hee =p

& it's drizzling outside again..

*hmmm* but for some strange reasons, today's rain didn't cheer me up.. feeling moody.

maybe cos it's a long day at school doing tissue culture - embryo rescue or maybe jus cos i miss my baby alot.. =S

didn't really have mood to blog but i'll jus post photos again from tuesday.. hee, =P

jan jan's forever lagging behind man.. *big smiles*

- 21th August 2007 -

this is our practical classroom, so 'lok-cock', ha, no lightings at all lor..

:) but it's cool.. u don't get to see tractors in SG..

hee, taken during practical..

had to borrow my fren's jacket for awhile cos
was soooo bloody cold!

morning has this beautiful sun but in a blink-of-an-eye,
rain started pouring like nobody's business..

=)

would have love to enjoy the rain shld i have warmer clothes.. =P

that hive u see up in the tree is actually not a bee or warp hive,

it's a tree-termite hive wor.. (common sight in Aussie)

normal termites we have in SG are actually ground termites, living in ground whereas these termites lives in trees. "another name = arbori termites"

N do u know that termites in tree is not necessary a bad thing? they are good indicators of decaying wood as termites only feed on dead-wood and not live-wood. heee, =P So should u see a tree w termites, it jus meant that the tree might be decaying on the inside..

:)
