Sofia

Friday, April 13, 2012 |

Went to an Italian restaurant called Sofia in Camberwell. The restaurant is huge and it looks packed from outside but actually there're still a lot of empty tables inside. Although the restaurant is super busy, but their service is still good and fast.

The calamari wasn't crispy enough for me though my friend liked it.

I forgot the name of this pasta. It's nice and super big considered that it's a small size.

Chicken and mushroom rissotto. I don't like rissotto but this rissotto is nice. This is also a small size and it's already like a mountain. Imagine their large size. Lol.

Almost every table, including Australian, needs to packed their food as everything is really big. It is also much more cheaper than most Italian restaurants too. Another place to have a nice Italian food with reasonable price.

Tough Chicks

Friday, April 13, 2012 |

Both me and May have joined a life and dance skills programme called Tough Chicks organised by Mayibuye. Mayibuye is a non-profit organisation with a vision to keep youth away from bad activities like drugs or crime, and other youth issues through dancing. This Tough Chicks programme is to empower young women through confidence building. So we will be talking about women in the modern society and also from different cultural background.

The first two days of the programme was held in the Multicultural Hub, which is just right opposite the Queen Victoria market. Free dance classes were the only motivation for me to wake up so early in the morning during holidays. Lol.

It ain't normal dance classes when you get a chance to dance with So You Think You Can Dance Australia Top 4 finalist, Demi Sorono! It's super cool to be able to meet with a B-girl who can do rumba like this on that dance stage.

Demi will be choreographing our dance routine for the Young Performers Conference which will take place in a month time. This is a video taken by me showing her B-girl moves. So yeng!
Of course we can't learn that in one month time. We are just doing simple hip hop moves. However, she has already taught us some moves that require us to go down on the knee on the first day. From that moment onwards I finally understand why dancers always put their knee guard on when it comes to floor movements.  @@"

I enjoyed a lot during that two days workshop with games and dancing eventhough my whole body is still aching. And Demi is so sporting and funny. My first dancing superstar met in real life. Keke... So looking forward to the coming practise sessions.

Random #11

Friday, April 06, 2012 |

It's Easter! That means it's time to take a break. This is PieFace in Northland. The pretty girl that I'm familiar with is not working there anymore. She always gives me free stuff because I used to be a regular customer. Sometimes free pie, sometimes free coffee, sometimes free cheesestick. She told me that she always has to bring back all the unsold food back home for dinner everyday. Lol.

Picture with a magnification of 200 000x, taken from an electron microscope that's worth half a million dollars. Life is so much easier with technologies like this. This is a bacteriophage that me and Min Dee isolated. It's a virus that infects bacteria. The lecturer likes this picture too because it's got two different viruses in one picture. The two dark hexagonal shapes there are the viruses. =)

My blood sample to test for Rubella antibody. It took me so long to be able to squeeze this drop of blood into the tube. That's why this drop was very precious. Results: I'm healthy. Lol.

Last week was creating our own virus model using plasticine. My group won all the prizes. Lol. A bit surprising because our model virus was quite normal and not very fancy compared to others. So we have got some Easter eggs!

Feeding Bun Bun! Hehe...

Bun Bun with Stitch. 

More pictures of Bun Bun.

He looks 2 years younger in here.
That's for my updates. Happy Easter! =)

Cip Cip & Cup Cup

Monday, April 02, 2012 |

There are 2 extra guines pigs staying in my room for the next 2 weeks because the owner has went back to Indonesia for 2 weeks. Let's meet Cip Cip and Cup Cup (pronounced as chip chip and chup chup). Haha. This is my first time holding guinea pigs. They are soooo CUTEEE!!!

A closer look at them. Cip Cip is the black one and Cup Cup is the brown one. Besides running around and knocking their bowl and flip it over, all they do the whole day is just eating. I can listen to their cute 'krok krok' eating sound the whole day. Lol.

They also have a castle where they can hide. Sometimes, they can even flip the whole castle while running.

And sometimes..... they chew it. Lol. Poor castle.

At least I have some company in my room for the next 2 weeks. =D

21st

Monday, April 02, 2012 |

Had European food for my 21st celebration dinner. On the first night of my 21st, we had Italian food at Lygon Street as I've been craving for pasta. Bruchetta Italiana for entree.

Marinara fettucine. I want seafood! =D

On the second night of my 21st, we tried Viennese food. Mae May, a typical Malaysian who will hunt everywhere for nice food, helped me in searching what should we have. So she discovered this Viennese restaurant called Merchant on Collins Street. It is a very nice, classy dining place where decently-dressed people will dine in. I felt so undressed. Lol! By the way, the service provided by the waiters and waitresses is extremely good.

Complementary bread with olive oil.

May ordered duck ragu.

I didn't know what to order, so I just chose this grilled veal. I got a bit swt when I saw the portion. It looked a bit like fine dining. But it wasn't bad. The texture was just nice for me to bite comfortably.

And we didn't expect that the mashed potato would be this much. Lol. The mashed potato was very nice.

Merchant is not too expensive for this type of western food. It's much cheaper than most western restaurants.

Presents and keys for my 21st. Lol.
