Home bound soon!!!! very very soon...

Finally booked my air ticket home 3 days ago!!! Boy, it was super duper expensive!!!! Like my stipend for a month??? T_T I'm already so broke before I even start spending on anything...

Been doing experiments non-stop for a week now...makes me feel like I'm back to Honours year. Haha! =P

On a very very random note, my birthday is coming up!!! I'm excited, not! Will be reaching quarter of a century in officially 36 days...O.M.G!!! I'm OLD!!!!

accumulated dust...

I have totally lost all the motivation to blog nowadays...I was so jealous looking at friends and strangers graduating a month back...and I'm still stuck with mine. Begin to question when my turn would be. I'm pretty worried that I wouldn't be able to finish on time, i.e. at the end of my 3rd year. It seems like forever...not that I'm sick of what I'm doing now, but I just wish to get over with studying and start earning real cash. But without a proper degree, how to get a good job right?? Ironic.

On a side note, I wish to take a long long break...

My hands are literally burning even after 1 whole day!!! =.=" Reason being...me making the spicy filling for my roasted pulut last night. Never knew the spicy effect lasted so looong! And the most bizarre thing of making pulut is not the process but rather the price I have to pay for the banana leaves!!!! You would not believe how much it costs me to buy a kilo of banana leaves here in Adelaide. I have to literally salvage every single small pieces of the leaves just because it's way too expensive to throw it out! =.=""" $8 for 1kg = RM26 for 1 kg!!!! It's like...FOC back home! And the basic cost price for pulut is prolly a few cents back home but here, it's more like $2 for a pulut...and I made 21 pulut @.@ Do the maths yourself. I must be nuts!!!

new phone finally!!!

After constant ranting (for more than a year???) about how worn out my previous mobile phone is (the backcover literally fell off everytime I try to pick it up! =.="), I've finally signed up for a new blackberry smartphone on Friday night after work!!! Yay!!! (: The deal is pretty good since I'm not a heavy user, $29 for a $49 cap plan and I've got like a massive $550 each month to use and since calling my sis and most friends who are also with the same mobile provider are free, I've got literally no other ways to spend that $550. lol...How great if they can actually give me the credit back in cash! (:

plantar fasciitis :(

I've got awful fasciitis on my left foot for two days already and it's killing me, having to walk to uni rain and shine. :( Even the stash of salonpas that mum brought over did no good.

That aside, sis' and cw's birthday are finally over! Been baking non-stop almost every other day before THE party...to the extend that my sis complained to my mum that I'm trying to stuff her up with all the baking. =P Haven't you heard of practise makes perfect?? Well, both cakes weren't perfect on that day. Still needs a lot of improvement but...at least both were edible???! (:

Berries cheesecake ripple

Got this recipe from here and decided to give it a go since there are so many birthday babies (a total of 8!!!! My!!!) coming up this month and it's weekend, so why not?!!

It didn't turn out as great as the one shown in the blog...I think I could have overbaked the cake since I put too much batter - I blamed the terrible estimation skill of mine. But the taste is still quite good. (:

Will definitely give it another try when I'm in baking mode again!

Oh!!! The joy! (:

Realised that I've won an awesome storybook yesterday...and I didn't even have the slightest intention to pick it up from the post office for an entire WEEK, thinking that it could again be some crappy stuffs that I've signed up on Ozbargain :P

Then finally I was too unmotivated to continue working in the lab (it's Friday ok!) and decided to head to the post office 30 mins before it closes since they had already sent me the second reminder to go pick up my parcel. Lucky huh??!!

The parcel literally brightened up my day! =D

Many thanks to betweenthelines.com.au!!!!
