好久没乱哈啦下了。。。这星期过得挺恐怖的。为了星期二的考试, 熬了好几晚。为人拖泥带水的我,不到紧要关头是不会念得完的。到了考试前两小时才念完。考出来为不知道会是多烂。原本还好的,只是因为每个人都说考的很糟,自己慢慢也觉得如此。整张考卷一般问神经线的分布,一题问眼睛,一题问耳朵,很多都靠猜的,可是是明智的猜。隔天要交assignment,所以熬到凌晨4点。超夸张。原本还以为既然之前都做得七七八八了,可以早完早睡,怎样知道还是拖到4点的。
所以现在还有睡眠不足遗留症。。。应该早睡

最近超喜欢这三首歌,还特地找了歌词

细数 吴克群&江美琪


惊叹号-光良


大嘴巴-我就是喜歡你


还有这首英文歌。。
Unforgettable-Caitlin Stasey & Dean Geyer

scene

最近开始大量听英文歌了。。。

test

Seriously, yesterday I was still panicking. I’ve got work at night (it was very foolish to work at this time). I jus realize I need to pass the test to pass the unit. I cant skip anything in the morning for me to study. It was terrible. I studied on the bus all the way to and back from work. Studied until 2pm. Then forced myself up at 6 to continue on. Kept studying even in the lab until the very last minute before the test. I think I jus get a minimum pass if not fail…shit la

So wat went wrong..poor time management-shud hv started earlier(way earlier). Poor memory- I know I read thru all the stuff but jus cant remember anything.

You know how when u say you will fail an exam or worried about it and they always say ‘ohh, you’ll be fine(or word to that effect)’ with a ‘pffftt’ expression. I find that very very fake (even though they might be sincerely trying to encourage you). Like you don even take the unit I m taking and you don even know what SHITuation I was in, how do you know I will do fine. So I don even say that. There was once I did and it jus felt fake, like jus brushing it aside with a 敷衍comment.

Anyway, now I am like back to slack-ness. Really should start studying for the next test.

week 20-21

Growing old is not growing up. Suddenly I felt as if I hadn’t grown up a bit…seeing all the responsibility waiting for me…being able to solve problems on my own when things happen…I’m still 19, but yet I kept thinking I am already 20.

Paintball was quite fun. Interesting…I seriously cant be bother thinking how to describe it…like new la. Shooting someone when they least expected was fun. Getting hit was painful…bruises…

Somehow I always get stomachache on Sundays. It has been happening for the past 4 weeks…I suspect it’s the jalapenos…

Talk to mum jus now, but didn’t tell her much abt my life…used to tell her every big thing that happened, but now jus on a when-she-asks basis…dunno if that’s a good thing

There’s times when u jus wonder wat the hell I am doing with my life. Study, eat, sleep and the whole cycle repeats. Then the whole week repeats again. Wat is the meaning of life? Life is empty, to filled up by small little random things. Prob jus cant be f*-ed studying.

Moments of genius:
I’ll talk abt this first. It’s the video for next sem’s freshers- on Australia and wat or not to expect. I’ve figured a rough storyboard of how everything can be fitted in. All I need now is 2 narrator/actor, videocam, editing program and information. This idea jus came from no where (from God most prob) and has disturb my mind the whole day so much so that I cant even study.
Last week, I tot of compiling a list of songs to be played during multicultural week. It will include songs(pop or trad) from countries arnd the world, religious and classical. But this idea has only been scribbles on paper so far.

Next week: test
Next next week: test+assignment
Nextnextnext week: tes+test+assignment
Next4 week: study break
Next5 week: Exams

I am still 19 damnit..(not 20)

Seri muka recipe

Bottom layer:-
500gm glutinous rice
400ml coconut milk
1-1.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp fragrant oil(optional)

Top layer:-
120gm plain flour
3 tbsp corn flour
140gm sugar
3 eggs
450ml thick coconut milk
1-2 tsp pandan colouring or flavouring


Steps:
For the bottom layer:-
Soak rice for 1-2 hours
Boil water for steaming.
Mix top layer ingredients together
Pour in bottom layer mixture and steam for 20-30 mins(you should get a slightly damp rice consistency)-
Toss/fluff the rice and then flatten the rice(to prevent the top layer mixture from sipping in)- jus compact slightly

For top layer(can be done when steaming rice):
Beat sugar with egg for a while.
Add in the coconut milk +salt
Add in the flour and mix until you get no bits of flour- smooth consistency.
Add in the pandan colouring- to the colour you like
Pour onto the rice layer and steam with medium fire. Steam until you get a firm consistency but not too dry.(30 mins to 1 hr)
Wipe the lid dry so that water will not drip onto the top layer
REMEMBER – the kuih should be chilled before cutting


My first try was using micro and it doesnt taste as nice as steaming...and rice was dry

I am sick of seri muka liao...

Period

I say it must be one those periods you have in life

Periods when you crave for chocolate like crazy, buying chocolate (peanut cluster, rock chocolate (or whatever the name is), oreo) everyday
Periods when you enjoy being emo
Periods when you jus somehow become more spiritual than usual
Periods when you are fired up to study for your life especially with tests coming up every week up to sem exam
Periods when you have so much stuff in mind that you jus totally forget Mother’s day is tmr
Periods when talking about sth other than dent, church, mcw can actually breathe life into your life
Periods when you spoke so little that you stumble in verbal communication
Periods when you feel your life is liken to being stuck in a shopping mall- you have been to every shop and there’s nowhere else and no way out
Periods when you jus cant be bothered blogging, but still check it hoping it will update itself- and it’s not over yet

or maybe i've lost touch of the blogging thing
thinking HOW you u'll write sth is time-consuming
and now it seemed i live to blog- do stuff jus to blog abt it
the two week break was nice...
mayb i should take a break
and breath easy


so, following posts will jus be old stuff which i have been wanting to post abt but jus never did..

Glutinous Rice

It started with me being a cheapo and buying 2kg of glutinous rice jus to make lor mai kai/nuo mi ji in 2006. make I did, in 2007. and now there’s still like 1.5 kg left and before it starts to rot, I need to make use of it. Some recipes I considered:

Seri muka


one problem- I cant get pandan leaves…well I suppose I can go find green artificial colouring and pandan extract which should be available in some isolated Asian shophalf way across Perth. A super easy recipe here, using MICROWAVE..hi-tech no?
(edit: or I can jus use kaya…OMG..super genious)

Sushi
Ya, normally you would use short grain or middle (length) grain, but can u use glutinous rice? Combine with santan or sth else to make it sticky and add stuff inside and roll…OR mayb I can jus get the recipe from above to make sweet rice balls with seaweed…o.0..
(edit: called origini sorry onigiri!)



Bak Chang..

OMG…I super want to make this if I hv the chance…if only I can get hold of bamboo leaves/pandan leaves…and a super big pot..recipe here in case I want to make
端午节quick quick come

Eight treasure rice
Didn’t quite know abt it until I read on wiki that it’s popular in m’sia but don’t think I’ll be cooking it anytime soon…I need (breathe-in): …actually I can get most of the stuff except lotus seed and bamboo shoot (I know u can get it from cans and packets) …sigh

If only I can turn glutinous rice into glutinous rice FLOUR
then I can make:

Nin ko/ Nian gao
Muachee/mochi

Kiuh koci

Ang Ku Kuih (especially with peanut+sugar filling)

Onde-onde (omg..with the gula melaka flowing out when u bite it…oooooo)

Ping Pei (snow-skin) Mooncake (arghhhhhhh I wan)

I seriously cant visit food blogs...my room is flooding

All the photos are not taken by me and credits must go the rightful owner (which is too much to list here)

Missing:stuff

It’s seemed like ages…but actually was jus more or less one week that I didn’t post anything…

Stuffs that have been in my mind:
1) This sudden urge of getting a DSLR…after seeing such beautiful photos…but I think it will jus be a wishful thinking
2) Talking to angmoh…it started with a comment made by my fren: ‘how would u know, you don’t even talk to them’…and it strucked me…so now I m very conscious abt it (don’t u hate it when u r conscious abt sth…it’s jus annoying) and sort of force myself to talk to them and also trying to perfect the stupid aussie accent that I sworn will not pick up before coming to this land
3) ANZAC Day..suddenly have this thought of going to the dawn service (well ever since 06 I hv been wanting to go)…but transport is the main problem, well mainly from my house to subi train station…and not my bike is gone
4) The fact that I didn’t go to any big/social events with frens after well in 9 weeeks…I’ve been to heaps alone…such a loner..:(
5) Tomoro night...the decisions i make are always wrong...bye ciao italia
6) I need a bookshelf, a vacuum cleaner
7) Stuff that I need to do during the 9 days break (pls don rob it off me)
8) God …this shud b first
9) sleep (totally deprived last night)

blog



blogging is taking over my life

War Dance

他们的过去伤痕累累
他们的现在与未来却是充满希望与笑容

战争夺走了他们的一切
就除了深扎在他们生活中的音乐与舞蹈
音乐可以令他们烦恼消失
忘记自己困境
他们的舞步 一踏一弯 一摇一甩
都是祖先所传

诉说来自乌干达北部的战区的三个小孩
与乌干达全国音乐比赛所结下的缘
他们与他们的学校
为音乐努力
为家乡争光
为理想奋斗

这部实录所带来的:
他们生气勃勃 毅力不倒的生命
灿烂的笑容
每一滴泪滴
都不虚构
而是充满着真诚与感动


War dance


Only at somerville until 13 April.

愤怒篇

和别人一起住有那么辛苦吗
为什么总是我让步
饭锅,衣架,房间,吸尘机,洗衣
饭锅还是我自己的咧
很没骨气那样

然后刚才 从朋友口中知悉他说我slack
妈的 什么意思
自己很勤劳那样

天天进厨房早上抑或晚上
第一句就是骂**
(我看我骂粗话的习惯是这边开始的)
看了都累

休想我见到你 会和你happy happy

----------

我讨厌周围的人
教授,导师,同窗。。。
真的很讨厌
刚才自己交的drafttutor讲到一堆屎那样
什么unrelated, insufficient, clinically impossible
鬼知道clinic里的patient 会怎样 我才第二年
还叫unit coordinator一起攻我
UC还拼命support
还讲什么: I’ve outline that extensively…u don’t hv to give in to what the student gave you, ask the student to do what u expect from him
Nabeh,那个jibot UC自己事先都没讲清楚
tutor得到靠山洋洋自喜
结果看都没看完 就赶我走叫我回家改
差点情绪都控制不来

-----

其实是生气自己吧
生气自己没再努力一点
对自己在别人的印象失望

每次劝别人时
都会教他从另一个角度想
可能事情不是自己想象的

现在我知道
‘别人是错的一方’那个角度
不需要说服
所以最方便

----

我很累
可是我要奋斗
就凭这股怒气

SIgh

Sigh.

Ok. i dont care it's 12 midnight.

So dead. lec 7 out of 10. 10 labs to read thru and remember.

By 3pm tmr. Between which i hv 2 lecs and 1 lab to attend, which i think i'll skip.

Today's, well yesterday's test actually went fine...shud pass.

Hopefully the 'V' i downed would help. Redbull tasted weird.
I don hv to worry abt sleeping in exam coz it's station based.

Grey's from the libary still on my bed untouched.
MSN window blinking.
'United We Stand' album playing
AND some insect wondering arnd on the carpet..i m so going to kill it! (Done..down the sewage)

Jus finished watching an anatomy tutorial on youtube which was awesome.
Blow-dried my super long hair which i hv yet to find time to cut which is annoying

Have been cursing too much lately

I hv class on PROSH. A full class day.
And a prac test the next day



I am going to sleep like a pig after exams.

This feeling is oh so familiar


..great now i feel hungry on top of the back pain i hv

PFFFFTTTTTT

Small thing and big thing

Small thing- I broke my nose pad- never realize how important it is until u lose it…and had to get a new one for $9 a pair…super expensive…


Big thing- I bought an easter egg five days after easter ….i tot the whole thing was full…but lol…for 50 cents…that was comforting

It’s the random ppl u meet

Easter Monday- met some random girl at the busstop- I was late, she was late…and it was jus weird how she asked me abt the bus and stuff and we jus started talking like we knew each other…and we got onto the bus and then she realize she didn’t hv her purse…being a nice guy I paid for her- standard rate..=.=…and we continued talking on the bus…doing commerce 1st yr, going to mandurah, fren of my fren (perth is small)…Sara was her name I think

Yesterday..went to this MASCA bbq…met one senior from 5th yr and she was from penang…so we started talking like we knew each other for long (or mayb we were jus being friendly) and boy do we dent students like to b*tch abt dental school…which tutor/lecturer/unit coordinator we hate/love/should avoid/should stick to, gossipS, how to survive dent (stay low and below radar), the whole consipiracy behind it…and she sounds like Jasmine…and doesn’t look 3 yrs older than me…chi lin was her name

Then went to work…worked with a guy, studying accounting…has two job- air-cond and subway…cool guy…the aircond job was interesting- how he was more needed in the summer and when uni start, it will be winter and he wont be working as much since demand is less, so it sort of balance out…and he sounds like Singaporean with all the lah’s inside even tho he’s from Indian…romeo was his name

Then finished work and waited for a bus in the city but I was late so had to wait for my next connection…and came this girl who asked about the bus…and we started talking as well like we knew each other for long(mayb coz we both had msian accent and knew we r both msian)…she’s from melaka, working at Sheraton as a waitress earning $22ph on weekends!!! Studying at murdoch- some forensic science and mol boil or sth- and she asked whether I was doing med…coz I looked smart…wth how can someone look smart enough to reveal he’s doing some super-hard course…mayb she meant nerdish look…and guess wat ..(wat?)..she’s jasmine’s senior…lol..perth is small…jad? was her name

It’s the random ppl u meet which make ur life interesting…


Names were slightly changed

back to jus now

2.55...2.56....2.57....2.58....2.59....2.00am!!!!!
no i didnt stay so late...

lunch post

i feel tired and depressed....

blah

thank God for the lunch i jus had

****************
.
still a bit under the weather...went to city to meet an old friend+new friends on monday....
and walked around mathilda bay for fun...donated some blood to the mosquitoes...found the swimming pool...and uni at night is scary (i've been thinking too much abt AiTD)

on tuesday...super happy(but i m too depressed now to switch to happy blogging mode...i'll try my best..) when i was eating cereal, there a a knock on the door...scared me a bit but then when i opened the door and saw a postman with a box...the whole day jus brightened up....

MY BOOKS ARE HERE!!!!

much faster than i thought...so i opened the box despite i was almost late (as in i have to leave the house at that time)...and books inside the cintan mee box...newly wrapped books...i was high...

yesterday had thai food for lunch...nice curry and stuff but a bit too expensive for the portion...
and last night...after much postponement...i finally went to play badminton..woohoo...i wanted to go last yr but i lived so far and transport...but this yr i must make use of my strategically-located house
the thing started at 7.30 and ended at 10.30pm...$7 for none members...but in the three hour i only got to play 3 rounds=45mins...kinda wasted..but still...and since i had dinner a bit earlier than usual so as not to 'eat and exercise straight away'...i ended up eating breakfast bar, a Picnic chocolate bar and half a packet of thai sweet chilly chips when i got home...talk about being healthy...
and now i m suffering a minor muscle ache- mainly on the either the external or internal oblique muscle, latissimus dorsi, adductor muscles of hip and slightly on the gluteus muscle and gastronemeus muscle...but still can walk

i shud get going...MOD on upper...it's going to be ugly...literally

MOD on 2nd premolar and occlusal on the 1st molar
