my restocked food pile! it has a lot hidden away behind piles of other food. like my giant hello panda is hidden away on the right. hahahahaa!

i'm back in slowbart!! now to sleep. zzz...

things you do while you're waiting for your hair colour to develop!

got this pair of shoes from queensway the other day! its the adidas grafeeteez! it's customisable with those rub-on stickers! how cool is that! i was like 'yes! this is awesome!' and set my mind to it. cost me $39.90 because it was half-priced.

anyway, i didnt realise that it was a pair of kids shoes until i googled it this morning! lol! who cares. as long as it fits my feet! =)

there are other designs such as basketball court, castle etc but i thought this was more pastel and prettier!

flying back tmr already. so soon! nooo.. =( i miss slacking around.

saw the names of the people in my new cbl and i guess they are alright. life can't be always smooth sailing. hahaha!

managed to scrap a DN this time again. guess i'm sorta relieved yet disappointed because i thought i would do better. oh well. at least i passed! =)

between then and now, i've watched ice age, gone out with ys and pam, bought my books, going out with 409 today, going out with the cruise people tmr, attended christina's party, finished watching boys before flowers, bought 3 pairs of footwear and gone to msia!

these 3 weeks have passed by so quickly! results would be out tmr. *shudders* but i guess i just want to know whether i've passed or not. if so, what's the score! hahaha. but of course passing is the top priority!

i still remember when i came back one yr ago, everything felt so surreal. it was as if my life in tasmania did not exist at all. almost like i dreamt it all. but now i don't feel that way anymore. Having been there for 1.5yrs, it has become more real and I've missed home so much more this time around.

3.5 years to go. before i know it, its over! time passes especially quickly when you're kept busy.

i've really miss being around people that i can be myself with. just being crazy and feeling loved and cared for regardless of what happens. you know who you girls are! =) *hugs* we'll survive the distance/stress/uni together!

on a really random note. i think j co donuts are really nice. maybe even better than donut factory.

and i really dun like the rain. boo! can't do nothing!

occupational hazard of working with p1 kids.

bites.

oww.

=(

there's so much to blog about but i'm just too lazy too! probably because there's more to do in singapore than tasmania. lol!

anyway! transformers was nice! action packed + drool worthy cars + indestructible robots + hot bods = 2.5h kept on the edge of my seat! seriously, the critics are too harsh on this movie! compared to changeling which was the same length, i think transformers kept me awake! adrenaline rush! woohoo! damn high!

megan fox is hottt. omg. i'd turn les for someone like her. really. hahaha! anyone disagrees?

i still need to go buy my books! can't believe i'm already flying back next friday! so fast! nooo.. which means the start of THE insane semester! *faints* try fitting GIT, repro and UT into one semester! not exactly looking forward to it. if i had no life last semester, i'll probably be a ghost this coming semester!

so far i've indulged in dimsum buffet, duck rice, tze char, fish head steamboat, old chang kee, mee sua, curry chicken noodle, chendol, ice jelly, bak chor mee, milo dinosaur, pork porridge, sambal stingray, oyster egg, ban mian etc! lost count already! whoops!

going out later to watch transformers with a car enthusiast (aka marcu5)! haha! it's going to be interesting with him gushing all about the cars after the movie i think! :P curled my hair on monday so now it's slightly wavy. not ah-ma/auntie style (hopefully!) but i wish my hair was slightly longer so that it would look more like the japanese type.

looking at my booklist, i dont think i have many books to buy this time around! which means i'll have more space for other things! yay! =)

alright i shall go play with my nails now. since i really have nothing to do atm which is really really enjoyable. 1st break in 4 months. just going to relax in my little corner for 3 weeks.

ok everyone! i'm back! haha! i'm actually very very sleepy right now. i want to sleeeeep.

nothing much so far. ask me out ask me out ask me out! =)

i love singapore (minus the weather!)! i would give anything to have hobart's weather in singapore. that would be heaven for me.

it's finally over~!! so excited! hahaha! =))

had nando's after the exam and now i'm actually feeling really tired but i've still got to pack my luggage and fold all my washings. because i only managed to do them this morning. =S

i'll be breathing in hot humid singapore air in about 28h! nice nice!

seriously i'm so sleepy. i'm not sure how i'm going to be able to enjoy harry's party if i go. boo.. *snores* we'll see. for now, i've got 45min to do all my packing now! chiong ah!

tmr's the day we've all been waiting for! omg i can't believe it's finally here after a lonnnggg wait! it didnt even seem this long last year! i think maybe because it wasn't. hahaha!

i'll be done at about 1.30pm and we're going shopping! or rather just getting out of the room which i've lived out for the past few weeks. felt so nice to walk out of jane yesterday to bring jorj1 in. hahaha! harry's party tmr too! i think we'll probably go and then head back because elvin3 doesn't want to stay. which is a good idea too considering how the flight is going to be sooo long. argh. yucks. thats the only thing i hate about studying overseas. the flights. but it's not as bad if there's someone coming back with you! =)

my brain's are fried already. i'm just so over it. i wouldn't be surprised if people didn't really study for this simply because it's dragged on for far too long. i'm actually starting to hate CAM201. let it be over like NOW!

looking at pink and purple slides again. nothing much is going into my head already. it's closed for the day. >< i need to go shower. argh and grab myself a cup of hot chocolate too (thanks elvin3 for the cadbury choc powder!).

i need a break badly. stoned liao. pray for me! i'll need all the luck i'm able to harness for tmr's paper!

i know this sounds really silly but i'm suddenly reinspired to study again just because i realised that outta the 4 of us, i'm the one with the highest score so far (94.535%), after minusing the marks lost out of the 25% that we've already completed (presentations and midsemester exam)!

hahaha! so retarded right. why am i so competitive? arghh i just need to pass! i need to get that into my head. can't expect to be top everytime can i? that's extra stress for me! booo...

I've always wondered how much one should give in a relationship. 101%? 110% or even 200%?

I was enlightened yesterday.

The answer was so simple and in-your-face that it made so much sense.

---

''i think the % fluctuates. but the other half should complement it and make it a 100 at all times. like maybe today im feeling down.. then i only wanna give 1%. so the other half will try means and ways to make the 99% so u can cheer up, feel loved and so on.''

---

don't you agree? that's what being together means. braving whatever comes your way together, cheering each other on and being there when the going gets tough.

it takes a lot of effort to make it work. it takes proper communication. it takes trust. it requires faith. it's more than just two people being together physically. it's an emotional investment.

i know this sounds super pessimistic but 99% of the time when you get together with someone, there would be an end? break up, divorce, separation - you name it. even marriage isn't forever nowadays. commitment? what's that? a promise? promises can be broken (unfortunately).

no wonder love is an impermanence. key to making marriage work is loving the one you marry. but i guess before that, you're free to choose properly. >< grocery shopping? like how all the aunties squeeze the fruits at the supermarkets.

things to do when i get home:

1. install stuff on new mac book pro (WHEE~!)
2. outing with ruth/pam
3. outing with jeremy
4. outing with yj/bel on 27th jun
5. outing with vtoo!

10. colour hair?
11. exercise!!!!
12. cook!
13. pre-departure briefing on 20th jun
    
14. meet all sorts of relatives!

1. sneakers
2. pimple cream
3. green tea
4. clothes
5. food products
6. toothbrush
7. didi's camera
8. laptop
9. steth
10. sphygomo
11. textbooks
12. blue pens
13. door knob cover
    

foodwise, aiyah the same stuff i suppose.

I WANT TO EAT MUMMY'S CREAM PUFF AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU'VE BEEN TEMPTING ME THIS ENTIRE SEMESTER WITH!

here's a post to push down the horrible ugly picture of me looking chubby. hahaha!

anw life's been going well in most aspects of life i should say.

we had a mini cook out on wed and thurs! wed's was in my room while we went over to elvin3's on thurs.

teriyaki chicken, sambal french beans, omelette with onion and french beans, salmon with avocado and of course rice!

me being greedy as usual. there was soup as well but it was in the rice cooker and we were too full to actually drink it that night. had it the next day but i didnt take a picture of it. =(

headed over to elvin3's on thurs and we had okonomiyaki, chicken rice and sago + gula melaka/coconut milk!

what was left of the okonomiyaki when i realised we hadn't taken a picture of it! super yummy. i think it's the sauce actually. it really made a difference! mayo + okonomiyaki sauce! yumm..

just add water, eggs, flour, cabbage, mushroom and whatever else you want in it! we had seafood marinara in it this time around together with mushrooms and cabbage. =)

our homemade chilli sauce!

chilli, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, sugar, water, salt!

vegetable soup with the stock we used to boil the chicken with! super yummy.

tomato, onion. carrots!

elvin3 and joelen3 trying the soup!

and here's darr3n trying to chip in by scooping and dishing out the soup!


here's the table all set for us! chicken, rice, soup, drinks, chili, dark soy sauce, minced ginger!

and here's dessert! sago with gula melaka and low-fat coconut milk! that wasn't my idea at all. christ1na insisted on it. boo.. dessert leh! still go low-fat.. zzz.. oh well.. this MUST be eaten chilled. it's not as nice when it's warm.

we ended the night with loads of washing up, playing with elvin3's reclining sofas, watching horror movie The Apartment and then Secret. in between, darr3n tried to get us to drink vodka lemonade but no one was really in the mood because we were supposed to go to the dissection lab the next day. left at 3.30 and crashed immediately. only woke up at 10+ the next day to elvin3's call to ask us to go to dissection lab! hahaha! i'm surprised we were actually quite alert. i think if we slept over, it would be impossible to get us off the couch in the first place.

i really love my coursemates although sometimes i really wonder how long this friendship will last.

was feeling a little depressed today and looked through my msn list. there really wasn't anyone i wanted/could bug. there were a few in mine like you guys but you weren't online at that time. really felt like shit. i think my mood swings become much worse when it's time to go home. time slows to a crawl and days seem like months.

sometimes i just want to crawl under my blanket and cry my woes away; hug my pillow and not have to face the world. i want someone i can depend on in times of need, someone to cry on when i'm sad, someone to just be there for me despite all the shit i'll be giving that person.

can you see netters there! studying makes people go insane.

like my chinese isn't cui enough, i agreed to help my friend with this. i'm gonna die. 13 paragraphs of proper chinese without much hesitation! dieeeeeeee la. and this is only paragraph one! not even sure if you guys can understand me! whoops!

ok what's this for, you're gonna ask

TASMANIAN DEVIL CONSERVATION PARK

MULTI-LINGUAL TRANSLATION

We plan to tell the Tasmanian devil story in a number of languages both on small sound tracks and also in our new park guide map.

First this is the information for the sound tracks. We will have just a small amount of other information for our guide maps soon.

SCRIPT FOR TRANSLATION

The purpose is to tell the Tasmanian devil story in six or seven languages.

There are 11 scripts of 100 words, each with a different theme.

Visitors will be able to go to each of 11 solar powered “info points” around the park and press a button to choose an audio track in their language.

so yes, you'll hear me on the thing. ouchie! me?! of all people?! hahaha! someone save me now.

im sick of saying


" ta si ma ni ah er mo! ''

snow snow snow! unfortunately not down at jane. =( boo! see i wasn't kidding when i said it was freezing in the video! hahahaha! chris was right after all. he said there was going to be mountain snow on wed/thurs!

okok 20 more lectures to cover before 1130! jiayou jiayou! pray for me! my exams at 1pm which is 11am singapore time! =)

this is going to be really retarded. like seriously. i can't believe i actually did this instead of studying. =) chubby me. its the camera angle! hahaha! who am i trying to kid? =P

i know my skin is bad. stress's the cause! been complaining about it for a while. the last part of the video is EXTREMELY RANDOM. problem with talking to yourself. so please be kind. hahaha!

winter's depressing. like really. why do i say that? well, take a look at the view outside my room NOW. its 5.20pm. no kidding. i have no idea why would anyone want to visit australia during winter! its such a waste of money since shops close much earlier and the day ends super early!

and it's been raining and raining and raining. no snow. just rain. pfft. snow would make life slightly more exciting during this boring period of exams. =(

tmr's the big paper! hopefully all goes well! and then it'll be almost time to go home....!! i really hate T1 exams to the core. it just seems as if it's never going to end. ever. what with exam papers 1cm thick, excluding the OAS etc.

back to the books! just wanted to share my little gloomy world with the brighter world out there.

tmr's the day!! wish me luck!! =)

If you're not the one, then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine, then why does your heart return my call?
If you you are not mine, would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through and I hope
You are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you, then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me, then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through and I hope
You are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray that you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss your body and soul so strong
That it takes my breath away
And I breath you into my heart
And I pray for the strength to stand today

'Cause I love you whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And though my heart is by your side

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms?

i love my coursemates. =) makes uni life that little bit more fun than it really is!

my sustenance. mix of healthy and unhealthy. whoops! actually to be honest, only the snickers are unhealthy! =) the popcorn's a 'source of wholegrain, source of fibre'! how awesome is that!

popcorn's today's supper with some cake thing which i didnt eat cos im not hungry. i'm just being a typical singapore, taking my share of what's given. the muesli bar's from tea and this is my second one cos i ate one then. banana and orange for REAL fibre i guess. vitamins?

snickers are simply for my sweet tooth. or teeth. depending on how big my cravings are i guess.

whee~! food makes me happy.

oh yes. this is the banana smoothie thing.

sorta gross i guess but oh-so-nice.

it is already wednesday which means that half of swotvac is already gone! this is unfair considering how my saturday was eaten by osce! i am deprived of one day of studying! noo...

haven't felt as motivated this semester at all. it seems like its so much to study for and it's going to take forever it seems. although i have already covered most of my sciencey work once. minus anatomy/histology/immuno/biochem which are only going to make up 23/170 of my paper! and the number of lectures DO NOT justify the time i would have to put in for this. zzz. as compared to pathology which takes up 42, physiology 36, pharmacology 30 and microbio 21.

now you understand?

=P

i just love how they break down the marks for us so that we know where to concentrate on. unlike last yr. pfft.

alright. better head back to studying. sorta made banana icecream/smoothie thing yesterday. mashed bananas and added milk and froze it partially. rather yummy but it looks disgusting. hahaha!

swotvac is the best time to grow fat seriously. with 5 meals a day, who can resist?! wheee~!

*nooo... i dont wanna grow fatter!

**argh forget it. my brain needs food.

yay osce's are over! it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be i guess. i'll pass. =) and its just 10% anyway. so now i already have 35% of my marks in the bag. another 65% to go!

1. Spirometry - was asked about how we would prep the patient, instructions and all. contraindications. we were then given a flow-volume curve and asked what the pathology is. anything to look out for that would invalidate the test.

2. history taking (cvs) - patient didnt have much for me to explore which was irritating. not sure if we needed to make a diagnosis cos i didnt. besides, it wasn't written on the sheet as far as i can remember. >< but i think i covered everything so that's fine.

3. respiratory exam - ran outta time at the end. just before i did the JVP. was auscultating the anterior chest when the bell went. but forgot to mention that i'll do the JVP but said i'll check the ankles for swelling or signs of peripheral cyanosis.

4. written exam (Infective Endocarditis - i think!) - one of the more stressful stations simply because i wasn't sure if i wrote enough.

5. ECG - guessed wrongly! said 2nd degree instead of 3rd degree. but i think apart from that, all's good. maybe a little shaky on the cardiac output qn - whether it would increase or decrease. oh well..

overall i think i did relatively well. yeah i'll definitely pass for sure. which really is enough for me. i'm not expecting too much this year. because it really is an insane year.

now for studying proper. cheonging again! =) wish me luck!

ok! the day is finally here. it's the OSCE today!

*freaks out!*

ok i guess its not THAT bad but i'm just being my usual flustered self before the exam. *recalls how i almost had a nervous breakdown before my driving test*

gonna head back to my books to get some last minute cramming of ECG and spirometry as well as some clinical signs into my head. and run through what i can ask for a history as well. dang! so much to do, so little time! noo....

jiayou! =) i'll cya in a while peeps..

my attempt at prawn paste chicken! =) it actually tasted quite decent!

didnt have prawn paste so i used fermented beancurd which people usually eat with porridge. added black pepper, salt and sugar and allowed it to marinate for about 1h.

would be better if i had eggwash and more than just cornflour. so at least the flour would stick better and it probably wouldnt appear THIS pale.

nonetheless, it was awesome! i know i had a flair for cooking. hahaha! just kidding.

and why waste the oil when i've got a banana sitting right there waiting to be eaten?

its halfway through concluding week! with osces on sat.

life feels quite horrible right now. need to get my head around all sorts of things. =(

i want to go home soon!

tried to make the sago pudding! and realised i dont have a sieve so that was quite interesting. hahaha!

anw the most exciting part would be trying to make REAL caramel (yummy!) without burning the place down. first try was quite funny cos it became concentrated yet not yet caramelised. so when i poured it out, it crystallised immediately in my container! i was like SHIT. now what.

so i decided i should attempt to caramelise it. so found this recipe which sounded nice. so i added water to the super huge block of sugar, melted it down again. this time it worked! there was this line in the instructions that freaked me out a little.

"6. Once sugar has reached the temperature, or proper colour, remove the pot from the heat and add the cup of water quickly and place the lid over the pot. CAUTION! Adding water to hot sugar results in a lot of sputtering and steaming. The steam and flying blobs of hot sugar can burn, so use your oven mitts and stay back once you add the water."

i was like what?! thankfully i figured that i should put my pot under the hot water dispenser and just press the button. and it worked! hahahaha! so yes thats the trick to making perfect caramel! add a little water at the end! =)

at first i didnt add enough water so when i poured the caramel onto my cold sago, it solidified! then i added more and thankfully it remained a liquid. =P wonders of science and experimenting.

my little tub of liquid gold.

ok my sago is green because i think colourless sago looks ugly with condensed milk. i've still some sense of presentation alright. imagine what it will look like! considering my bowl is white too! eww.. not appealing at all!

two tutorials to go and i'll be done with the work for this weekend! =)

can't wait to start revision proper and get all these irritating things outta the way! boo!

you know you have some obsessive compulsive disorder when you spend 15min of your life voluntarily sticking reinforcement rings.

and it makes you happy.

and it makes you feel in control.

what a sense of achievement!

let's just hope this thing actually sets!

have a feeling that one of them is actually leaking a little. =(

dont they look adorable though?

hahaha!

posters like this went up all over uni today. =)

but this one's in my room now.

HAHAHAH!

souvenier. so typically singaporean. aww.

just as you thought you've had enough of me cooking.. i've got more up my sleeve! hahahaha!

to be honest, this semester has been so much easy because i've cooked. just being able to eat proper asian fare is such a delight. i have no idea how i managed to survive last yr eating just jane food. whoops!


my chicken rendang! but of course i have to give credit to my wonderful partner in crime!

before you all call me a cheat, everyone does this anyway! hahahahah!

chicken congee! perfect during winter.. preferably eaten off the stove.. cos it cools down sooo quickly! darn! hahahaha! chicken + rice + water + 1+h + soy sauce = yummy chicken porridge!

TEACHING RESCHEDULED FROM THURS 21 MAY

19 May 2009 2:59 PM

As you are probably aware, UTas employees are taking industrial strike action this Thursday 21 May. This will result in a disruption to your normal teaching activities. All teaching events scheduled for that day are being, or have been, rescheduled. The rescheduled timetable should be available Wed 20 May. Please contact Linda if you have any queries

really sorry about the lack of updates! this week has been insane beyond insane especially on friday!

had the cardiothoracic ward visit, t5 presentation as well as pasar malam! which meant that thurs was spent preparing and wed was spent shopping for food. ended at 3.30 on tues which was alright but had dissection on monday which was tiring as usual.

the cardiothoracic round was really interesting as we met up with the patients and got to know them better. sat in with the nurse who drew blood, took swabs etc. was questioned about the various tests that they are doing such as FBE (full blood exam), coags (coagulation tests), (multi-resistant staph aureus)MRSA, Fibrinogen (clotting), BSL (blood sugar level), U&E (kidney function tests), CK (creatine kinase), Trop I (cardiac troponin I), MSU (mid stream urine) etc.

followed the patient to the surgeon's office too and got to see how they really work. =) and its really awesome how you actually see what you learn in OSCEs being applied! like how MR's can radiate to the axilla and how the apex beat can be displaced when there's Left Ventricular hypertrophy!

anw rushed back to clinical school to meet my groupmates for a rehearsal!

had lunch with elvin3 and christin@ after that at the polytechnic! sth like SHATEC.

we ordered this mocktail which was $5.50 and we were just commenting that we'll just share and the girl asked if we wanted it in 3 cups! =) how great is that! we had the indulgence!


so that means we all get a strawberry each! instead of just one per cup! hahaha!

thats me with mine.

we then had our mains. i had some ricotta cheese filled ravioli thing with hazelnuts on top. yummyy and it was rather filling.. i think.. not sure if its cos there was so much cheese in it or not!
you can vaguely make out 3 raviolis somewhere in there. elvin3 and chri5tina had the yellow thai curry with blue eye and 3 strands of udon! hahaha but it was nice. just not that filling though.

me ravioli and drink

chri5tina and her one strand of udon.

i ended up paying $10 while they paid more cos their mains were more expensive!

we ate at the cafe while they had the restaurant next door with steak for $15 but of course we wonder about the portions now. =P

anw presentations were a bore and being a kiasu singaporean, i rushed off to the hospital when i saw that they were having free flu vax! =) so yay i got my flu vax for free + one lollipop! haha! didnt miss anything since my group would have been the last to present. zzz.

rushed back to uni for pasar malam and started the prep. no pics for now cos they're all in chri5' camera! will be up soon.. when he gets around it.. hahaha..

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and ordered the 'Chicken Surprise' .

The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.

Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.
'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hadn't, so she asked him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.

Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.

'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you order?'
The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise.'
'Ah ! So sorry, mistake.' says the waiter, 'I bring Peeking Duck!'

exam timetable's out!

t2-5 : 8 Jun
t 1 : 10 Jun
applied exam : 18 jun

yup! ehh mummy you can go book 19th i guess! =)

i love these people. =)

and i love how people dress up. its fun! you'll probably rarely find people dressing up apart from DnDs i guess.

Close Shave with the Smoke Alarm

tonight's international night so lunch was bad (or rather worse than normal) because they have to put all their effort into preparing for tonight! so i decided to make myself some lunch again. hahaha. i really do enjoy this. minus the cleanup.

the porridge was alright. no incidents with that.

the next thing i cooked was the sambal lady's fingers! you know how you need to heat up the pan before adding the sambal and then fry till its fragrant and add the vege? well i did just that and WHOA there was this huge mushroom of 'oh so yummy' smoke! freaked me out so i took it off the stove and stuck my pot out the window! haha! decided to add my cooked lady's fingers in and it was better cos it was slightly goo-ey and it didnt cause much smoke.

the salmon was initially in one big slab! to think i thought i could cook it thoroughly and actually fit it into my tiny pot! haha. so i had to cut it into half but still it didnt cook well. gave up and up them up into mini pieces which made my life so much easier. =)

things you never know until you start doing it yourself.

and now i'm happy and very very full. thankfully i didnt cook too many lady's fingers or else i have no idea how im gonna finish it. next time i shall cut the salmon into half. thats too much man!

Escapade with the Giant Cabbage

ended early today so we headed down to salamanca to grab some salmon and then to sandy bay to do some shopping (for food of course!)

saw coles selling a cabbage for $2 each! what a steal! but it was enormous! seriously. it's madness.

its bigger than my head!

christina trying to split that head of cabbage. not with a scapel. HAHAHA! head of cabbage. pun intended.

i have violent tendencies. maybe thats how i will kill my victims next time. be very very cautious!

splitting our salmon!

bought rice, fermented beancurd and pickles too! so thats my dinner for tonight! thank goodness dinner was bad today. peas, rice, pork meat balls. errr i think mine's better, thank you very much.

food for the brain! chicken broth with carrots, cabbage (yes from that cabbage) and onion! yummy... =)

i love cooking man. this is so fun!
