Another day goes by...

Yeah so today I woke up 8:30am, studied for 1hour, then DOTA for 1 hour, surf for 1hour, then went off to have lunch with Tiong. Dimsum at yummy BBQ. Just something to relax our minds from the constant work pressure as mentioned above. I ordered mocha with extra shot of espresso from McDonalds. I haven't drank it yet coz I'm still too full.

Dimsum. Not in picture are our cheong fun and desert.

I had red eye since thursday ! It's much better now...not that red. Keanu (my hongkie housemate) snapped a picture of me eating dinner at my place with my red eye as shown below.

Freaking left eye is RED !

And I thought to myself...do I really possess the power of sharingan? (go search under Naruto)

Could I photoshop myself so cooly to have the sharingan eye?

Ambitious as I always have been, I saw a cool photoshop of a sharingan.

SHARINGAN ! [1]

I WANNA TRY TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO !

LET

ME

TRY

End of semester....

HOORAH ! END OF SEMESTER ! WOOHOO ! HAPPY HAPPY !

Well on thursday, 22/10/09, our special coffee arrived. It took some 1.5mths for that coffee to arrive. Before explaining what's so special about this coffee, let's do some light warm ups...

...and up, and up and down...and up.....

Tiong and I decided to have dinner at this italian restaurant at applecross. Tiong wanted to have his dinner at cafe noel, but for a change of environment, we tried this italian restaurant, il ciao (or something like that). This place is quite packed, a lot of people, nice atmosphere, the food is not that bad, quite reasonable.

I should start remembering what we ordered =/

I think this is some il ciao pasta. It's a bit watery, maybe it's supposed to be that way...

Pizza with bacon..blah blah blah..and cheese. Eat it while it's still hot, and the cheese is just mouth watering you can even taste it with ur eyes.

We then head of to cafe noel....our special coffee....is SHIT (literally). Well it WAS SHIT, then it was processed and then we drink the shit of that cat.

That's right folks. Kopi Luwak. The most expensive coffee in the world !

By definition :

Kopi Luak (pronounced [ˈkopi 'luwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and other related civets. The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. [1]

Imagine. The shittiest stuff is the most expensive too. What's the world coming to? It's $70 for 2 cups, one for Tiong and one for myself. 2 guys, 2 cups they say !

Boiling that shit

There we have it ! We drank shit, it tasted good.

Well the final say is that, kopi luwak is a very mild coffee but with a pretty medium aromatic flavour. Does it make sense? How should I explain it...?

Hmmm...let's just say you're drinking water but has that coffee flavour and does not leave the aftertaste of coffee in your tongue and mouth. It's smooth. Like evian water sort of.

Yeah well....glad to know a coffee enthusiast such as myself had the experience of drinking this shit coffee (coffee luwak).

This is one of the potraits at cafe Noel. It's the mocha lisa they call it.

Here's the kicker : what you see if you zoom in is actually coffee beans. That's right !

Coffee beans roasted at varying temperatures to obtain various colours to make the MOCHA LISA ! cool stuff hey !

THEN THEN...on friday - saturday (23/1o - 24/10), our youth group, went to mundaring for a camping experience. Well more on stargazing...

I saw a shooting star ! There were several shooting stars that night, but I just managed to see one. I was busy eating most of the time. They cooked beef, sausages, chicken using the campfire. Cool stuff !

First camping experience for myself. My back is sore....man.

Campfire with flash

Campfire without flash

Campfire with flash. Skewed beef.

In the morning, we were packing up our tents. We had several tents.

A very pretty tree ! Peaceful...

THE FINAL YEAR PROJECT which people have been bragging about.

I feel even more relaxed than I already am.

BUT WAIT ! THE EXAM STARTS ON 2nd NOVEMBER AND I'M NOT PREPARED ! READY TO START FROM PAGE 1. Hope I don't fail.

Otherwise instead of having a double whooper burger, my mom would give me a double or triple whoop ass to her bugger son !

So silly !

Guess what?

I lend my handwritten lecture notes on 2 A4 copies to several classmates (coz they didn't attend lectures). I never actually cared about this matter, so long I receive my paper back right..?

BUT GUESS WHAT?

I RECEIVED MY PAPER BACK TODAY ! AND IT'S NOT MY ORIGINAL COPY ! IT'S THE PHOTOCOPY OF MY COPY ! WTF RIGHT?! I ASKED THEM, THEY SAID NONE OF THEM PHOTOCOPIED MY NOTES, SOME SAID I GAVE THEM THE PHOTOCOPIED VERSION !

WHERE THE WORLD IS MY ORIGINAL COPY? IT'S SO FUNNY YET UNBELIEVABLE!

IS MY HANDWRITING THAT VALUABLE?

Steam + boat = steamboat

Date and Day : 16/10/09, Friday

People : Tiong, Kwok Leong, Serene, Beverly, Keanu and me

So today we decided to have steamboat just for the fun of it. We bought some meat the day before, and then somemore on the steamboat day itself.

Varieties of meat available

For the health conscious serene and keanu, veges

Keanu the noob. Serene the pro. And by pro, I mean professional and not that derogatory "pro"

The whole lot

Zoom in a bit

Cooking process. Steamboat is a good way to practice one's patience

The girls, beverly and serene

What a mess !

Keanu fondling baileys. He's doing a general check on baileys.

Keanu's a vet-to-be-at-the-end-of-this-year

It started as a very very light soup base, and at the end the result is this deliciously delicious broth. What is good to eat, is bad for the health. So tempting to just drink all this ! lols

Keanu also taught me how to make his special steamboat sauce where we just throw all our cooked steamboat food into keanu's "special sauce". What he said was, just throw in a raw egg into a bowl, add some soya sauce and some satay sauce and just mix it. Initially I THOUGHT we dumped it into the soup. So it's my first time eating raw egg. lols. But I try not to think about that when I'm eating it. It's good stuff man hongkie dude !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIONG !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIONG MY MAN !

Happy 2 decades !

For you were once a teenager, but now no more.

Old enough to be a father, caring enough to be a mother.

Hope your wish comes true.

May you grow wiser, thicker, longer, sexier than you already are.

Love you long time.

Date and day : 11/10/09, Sunday

People : Serene, Kwok Leong, Beverly, Tiong and me.

It's Tiong's birthday eve. Quite a number of events happening this week...told ya so !

Well we had some remaining wagyu beef and angus beef from the last BBQ...so we decided to finish it all today.

Me and tiong went to IGA to buy some extra stuff ....aloe-vera drinks (BEST!), chicken wings, lamb chop, kangaroo meat, american sausages and ice-cream.

We went over to Bev's place around 3:30pm, then we started slicing the beef and preparing the BBQ pit. From 3:45pm till 8pm, we were BBQing all the way (with breaks here and there of course). And I've been eating non-stop...damn...

I think I'll be sick of meat for a while....the meat I had this whole week would be what I normally take in SEVERAL MONTHS.

Wagyu beef on the far right and angus beef on the far left.

SO MUCH MEAT !!!

Taking turns to cook. Doing the tiong's orochimaru pose.

I wore EXTRA LARGE t-shirt...just in case....

Eating during the late afternoon.

Your beloved blogger during the evening and still cooking...

Kwok came late a bit, coz he was in school doing some work. He came and have dinner...then played DOTA...lols

There could be pests beside kwok and he wouldn't care less. That's what gaming does to you...

I am the pest.

Tiong and Bev dug a hole and build a camp fire for extra warmth.

IT'S FREAKING COLD THIS NIGHT !

Until at night...still eating. Life is good.

All in a good day's work...

Live to eat, not eat to live....

Tiong's advanced birthday celebration

*edited*

Date and Day : 10/10/09, Saturday

People : Serene, Beverly, Kwok Leong, Tiong, Cheryl, Tiong #2, Daryl, me

We decided to celebrated tiong's birthday in advanced. Tiong's birthday is on 12th October, but it's a monday, and we kids have school and them old folks have work.

Just a small gathering at Ishka restaurant, breakwater which is all the way near hillary harbour.

Cheryl helped made the reservation at 8:30pm. Breakwater is about 30mins drive from our place, so that's pretty far so it better be worth the distance....lols.

THEN...THEN....THEN...upon arriving at the restaurant, wah lau eh....we didn't know that WE NEEDED IDENTIFICATION to enter the restaurant. Coz to go to Ishka restaurant we have to go through the bar, and underaged aren't allowed to drink. Of course non of us are underaged.

Most of them have their ID...but tiong, me and cheryl don't have ID....or PASSPORT.

I don't have Australian driving license. And who brings their passport around right?

Then the security didn't allow those without ID to enter. Then he said "you're welcomed to talk to our manager....yada yada yada".

Then we said "okay, we want to talk to him"

The manager was alright, then he walked us up to the restaurant.

Imagined if we were to be denied entry...lols

Bev, Serene, Tiong and Kwok. Tiong forever happy

Boat

This place is so cool. They have dome, subway, gloria jeans, boost, etc.

AQWA (Australia's largest aquarium) is also located just beside here.

The Breakwater

We entered finally !

New character has entered the game. Tiong #2, tiong's cousin, Yong.

Cheryl, tiong #2's gf. She's camera shy, so she tries to hide her face.

Very well placed.

Cheryl finally revealed. And beside her is Uchiha Madara a.k.a. Tobi

Serene, me and daryl. Daryl's a funny guy. lols

Kwok and Serene caught unexpectedly. Why so serious Kwok?

All smile at the camera and say "CHEESEEEE......"

Orochimaru (Tiong) and gang

Tiongs and cheryl

The menu (main course)

Starters

Oysters with vodka (REALLY REALLY REALLY GOODDDDDD )

What's this called again? =/

Hah ! Can't get enough of beef. So addictive. This is my 300g black angus scotch fillet

Sesame crusted ocean trout (Kwok's and daryl's)

Barker chicken breast (bev's and cheryl's)

Crispy half roast duck (Serene's and Tiong's)

Crispy skin barramundi (Tiong #2)

This is the usual circle formation.

It is a very standard formation for group discussions when standing up.

Walking back to bev's car which is quite a far bit of distance away

Nice view of breakwater.

We bought tiong some presents, no idea what to get...so just got few shirts ! lols

Hope you like the gift man !!!!!
