that dont impress me much.
all hail shania twain for that song..its playing in the background now. someone's got the radio extra loud.
last night's lantern fest was a huge let down. methinks the lantern fest at bukit jalil i saw last year was wa-ay more impressive. i remember the hundred foot dragon made of plates. and the lantern of international landmarks like the taj mahal and klcc and a little park of pandas. and a lot of other stuff. last night's lantern fest at albert park felt like petaling street at its peak. or kuching fest being absolutely packed with people. even the lion dance felt somewhat lukewarm. there were no firecrackers at the end and i think the drums and cymbals were toned down. so it was a let down.
i'll tell you what stood out for me tho, the fact that i found the yummiest little sio bee's here in auckland! good god, its better than all the sio bee's i've eaten before, and i've eaten a lot of them. but last night's sio bee's were really soft and juicy and fell apart in your mouth when you eat them.
then me and aud got so bored of the pasar atmosphere of the so-called lantern fest, when there were in reality less than 20 lanterns and that doesnt count as a fest, we sat around and saw smoke. so we followed the smoke and found a stall selling mussels and the kuali's were on fire and such. and then "Hey, nice tattoo la.." we stayed around to watch them cook the mussels and gape at how cool their tattoos were. i mean seriously, it was so intricate.
and aud just mentioned the cook last night. haha, he left quite an impression on her.
there's so many malaysians here at the railway campus..sometimes it feels like i'm living in rempit town or something. and some of them tend to be the dirtiest lot in the kitchen, as in they dont tidy up after themselves after cooking. since it is a shared kitchen, i cant help but feel a tinge of embarassment.
aud's turn to cook tonight. wonder what she'll cook. there's the pumpkin and the beef she's defrosting.
i must commend myself on my cooking last night. not bad for someone who doesnt know what she's doing. just gather a bit of all the bawangs we have..the red one, the white one, the big one. and the spring onions too. and mushrooms. and that super cheap cabbage we have to finish before it goes bad. and beef. and ginger too. turned out alright.
i'm coughing. and i have a sore throat. and mine eyes doth feel puffy. and a slight fever. and i keep sniffing. ugh.
mohinder's gay. as in the RA here who looks like mohinder suresh is gay. someone heard him talking "rather fondly" (anon.) about "another guy". and he's a prat too, as in the whole "i'm hot and you're not, so i dont talk to you".
why cant vodafone make international smses cheaper? i swear its like bloody celcom. and i was a hotlink user!
i'm getting super pissed about my internet la...menyampah you know. i paid a whole sem and i've been complaining about it for over 2 weeks now to the administration and i never get to use it! ugh.
mm..think i've run out of things to say. my finger's healing nicely now. i scraped off the skin near my nail on my fourth finger in a kitchen accident. it was a latch near the fridge that scraped it off and there was a flap of skin dangling and blood by the time i was going "AARRRGGGHHHH!!! OOOWWWW!" its better now, about two weeks on. but its a real pain when it comes into contact with really hot water or if it bumps into something. or if it bumps into something when dealing with hot water.
toodle-oo.
iain mentioned that i was getting more personal with my blog nowadays. is that true?
was really good talking to him last night. just talking. i miss that.
