Enoteca

Dinner anyone??

Italian Fine Dining Restaurant that might burn a hole in your wallet =P

With food like these, a little hole doesn't matter as much. In the celebration of getting my PR, definitely worth it =P

My dish: Quail & Squid ink seafood pasta













Bosses dish: Scallop (entree) & I can't remember specific mains they had (pasta, beef, vegetable & potato sides)






















Colleague dish: prosciutto wrap & scallop (main)




















The restaurant is located along Carrington St.

It's been a month =P

Ooppsss.....

It was a busy busy month last month..... All went well, which is good =)
Pics? no pics with me... When everyone is carrying a SLR, my lil compact digital camera is losing out on size, zoom length and definition.... just have to wait for the professional ones to be ready...

Hats off to the artist!!

Another day at work and this scene brought a grin to my face...

hahaha...yummy??

Lollipop man

A nice grin to start a Monday... =)

Heavy renovations and building buildings are going on in my campus... Traffic today was haywire...endless lines... The guy who hold the stop and slow sign... He was nice to stop both sides traffic for me to cross the road =)...

I don't think I have ever made both sides cars to stop and stare at me when I cross the road, even if I'm in short skirts.... hehehehe

ps: it felt abit like in kindergarden as well -.- sighhhhh....

A conversation

I have a funny, quick wits friend,D. It's hilarious that some daily occurrence of our lives becomes a joke.

Some people can be very judgmental in a small way; reacts in disbelieve/shock if it's out of their norm. Then they turn to the know it all person, continue to become an airhead... This used to happen to me when i was younger but it is still happening to him which I found it hilarious.

Judgmental: What!! You're Chinese and you don't speak Mandarin/Cantonese??!!
The victim: Nope, I'm half Malaysian and half Japanese... I speak Japanese at home.
Know it all: Oh no wonder...
Airhead: Say something in Japanese!!!...
The victim: .................... -.-||

hehehehehe... This is the part when he could have told the person "BAKA!!" but that would meant that he needs to explain the word if the person doesn't understand it...

Lazy useless next generation...

How did THIS become such a huge controversy??

THIS meaning: The government here decided to cut off Youth Allowance for any youth below the age of 20; if they are not studying or in training.

Obviously the youth/youngsters started complaining and whining about it because they are forced to go back and finish they education... but what I don't understand is that some people are against this ruling because this will promote prostitution..??!!

How this will promote prostitution??!!.... Would it meant that these youth rather be prostitute than go back studying?? The Youth Allowance starts about $200 fortnightly; that comes to $100 a week, maybe more for some . If those youth want to turn to prostitution they would have done that long ago. I'm sure they'd earn more than $100 a week. Which leads to = if they can choose to "work" those hours to get paid $100... they might as well use that time to study and get better higher paid jobs when they graduate.

The dumbest reason gave by some chick (sunbathing along the beach in her bikini) who ;

• politely speaking : put on hold her studies
• reality : dropped out of school

she needs time off now because she'll be facing working life for the rest of her life...

Good for you dummy... go take all the time you want... but don't expect the government & taxpayers to pay it...

Oooo love this version

Can you imagine me:

Love metal rock music??

Yeh, a few of my friends can't believe that; Do I look like one of those who love sloppy lovesick boyband music??

I love this version of Pokerface...
makes you wanna jump around and rock your head to the beat!!

Fringe was on!!

I don't believe myself that I plunged into the Fringe and became a helper as well. Fringe: lots of music, comedy, rides, performance, show.... Time to chill out, have drinkings with friends and family.












I WAS A SURVEYOR FOR THE FRINGE!! How I came about being one is such a loop that it began with myself -.- . A few friends were looking for jobs and I just randomly sent whatever I see to them. The Fringe was one of them. The lady called my friend,R, and asked her to bring a friend; guess who was "the" friend (in case it's not clear enough, it's me).

It has been 5 years since I have done survey; walking to random strangers and hope they can spare 5 minutes to do a survey. 5 minutes is just an estimate; truth for most survey "as long as you say yes, the 5 minutes will stretch to 15 minutes... hehehe". Well this survey really took about 5 minutes, I've done one within 2 as everything was a no.

I guess it's easier to do a survey with a friend rather then walking alone and asking strangers to fill up the forms. There are people who don't want to do surveys and some don't like to be asked about their household income. It is true that it's tedious but surveys do help the organisers to understand the progress of this event and improve it for next year.

Anyway, after 3 hours I finished my assigned 25 forms and got paid $50 Fringe voucher. Got myself the Fringe t-shirt as a remembrance. Will I do it again?? Once and never again for this year... I'll reconsider next year... hehehe

















A colleague gave me 2 tickets to Sammy J the comedian performance which is held in the Bosco Theater inside the Garden of Unearthly Delights. The show was about 1999.. when everyone was panicking due to Y2K... and him; a life of a teenager... very unique quirky show...
