sooooo.. i've been away for a while; haven't had anything to blog about. or i was just lazy.. yea i think i was just lazy.

went to brighton beach for the second time in about a month, this time with Jason's parents who're here for Chinese New Year.

couldn't resist taking a picture of her. ang moh parents dress their babies up so well!

dog following it's owners around the beach. so fluffy. *smothers

Jason and the Lim family.

mama Lim.

reminds me of that scene in White Chicks...

8)

papa Lim

brothers.. Justin Y U SO STONED?!!?

*poke*poke*
sea cucumber.. hundreds of them on shore. if i were a chinese businesswoman.......................

and Jase cooked dinner! a fantastic one, at that!

marinated beet root with ricotta cheese.

apsaragus rolled with cream cheese.

aaaaaaannnnnddddddd.........

beef with herbs and sweet balsamic sauce.

feast! :OOOO

it was seriously, the best meal Jase has ever cooked up, and trust me, all his cooking is amazing.
he even impressed me to the point of me complimenting the food all the way which isn't very often =p

Levi's getting so FAT. silly lump of a kitty.

until the next feast (tomorrow/sunday),

chubby :(,
may.

so i hear you like home cooked food..

2012-01-09T12:09:00.001+11:00

work and uni's been keeping me relatively busy for the last few days,

but i've managed to cook a few meals.

i've been so lazy to cook, and my bank account suffers because of that :(

salted baked salmon, or salmon shioyaki.

just put salt on the skin,

put it on some oiled aluminium foil,

250degrees fan-forced in the oven for about 15-20 mins.

homemade roti john for jase.
note to self: i need to get a wide spatula to flip big omelettes like this =.=

went to noodle kingdon on sunday for a relatively late lunch.

pork dumplings there are super good.

jase's fav: stewed beef brisket with broad noodles.

and my current fav: broad noodle in spicy beef and chilli oil.

got myself two new pairs of shoes cause jason forgot to stop me from spending =p

we didnt do much after that, just grocery shopping for dinner
and i got my skin and flesh sliced off by the escalator. -.-

went to san churros for tea.

mint macarena.

chocolate ice cream sundae, which fetched a lot of attention on instagram to my surprise O.o

napped for a bit then we started cooking dinner. started at 6.30 and we only ate at 10.30 wtf. -.-

finally got to open our bottle of paria bubbly. flat moscato's a whole lot better.

stuffed peppers with roasted vegetables. mmmm i love couscous :)

moroccan style lamb shank. took me 2 hours to cook this,
but i should've left it in there longer for the 'meat falling off the bone' effect.

eton mess with toasted almonds!
i love the strawberries here, they're almost always sweet!
can't say the same about the raspberries though. uggghhh.

all recipes for dinner are by Jamie Oliver!
bought his recipes.. i really couldn't help it.

Levi joined us for dinner and LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring.
he has his own little kitty wet food feast, but he still tried to steal our food.
oh you greedy little monster.

<3 <3 <3 what a fatty.

something about vanilla pods that freak me out.
it's like some shit from Aliens vs Predator or something.

gonna head out to ikea soon,
i can't believe jase and i have been having so many days off :)

NEW FURNITURE FAK YAAAAAA
may.

my apron is cooler than yours.

2012-01-06T02:53:00.000+11:00

spent a whole day working today, first at chillipadi, then domino's.

cooked a late dinner.. it's been a while since i actually cooked at home O.o

made assam fish curry with rice (for jase, of course), second go at cooking asian food. it was... substandard.

but man, it felt good eating ladies fingers (okra).

got myself a lot of new things for the new kitchen, and that includes my first ever apron cause it's cute.

i look terrible but isn't it cute?

and matching oven mittens too.

sorry la, i'm super amused by the whole pink-ness and muffin-ness of it all :D

just completed the Rush Hour trilogy (?) with jase.

brings back so many childhood memories. never understood some of the jokes till a few days ago.. O.o

and what's been ticking jason and i for the last few days without fail..

is he really saying something in chinese? O.o

rofl.

osheeeet gotta sleep, class tomorrow!

i've been on 9gag for an hour.

2012-01-05T02:49:00.001+11:00

One free afternoon..

2012-01-03T17:12:00.007+11:00

q: someone teach me how to save money?

never been out so late for 'dinner' before; 2.30 am yesterday! well jase was hungry anyway,

thank god for noodle kingdom. food there is the awesome shizznitzz.

lunch at chillipadi, it still feels weird to have the others serve us when we work there O.o

eggplant chips

pad thai.

since we had the afternoon, we went window shopping around melbourne central.

would you believe that a good quality scratching post with two levels cost $110?

frigging daylight robbery. that's RM350!

(i'm so asian, i still multiply everything by 3 over here.)

O.o

bought myself a moleskine.

i better make sure i use every page in that book or i'd eat the empty pages.
