^^

in the midst of my intro of a 50pg report.. i have only written 1 page out of 50 pages.. hahahahhaz!! one week.. just one week to the DREADline..

life has been a marathon of assignments for me last week..
dinners assignments dinners library lunches labs tutorials proposals meetings dinner

so the last dinner was to GLENELG.. with stephanie, anthony and kevin.. n a bottle of ShiRaZ ~
unable to decide for a place for dinner, uncle Google recommends us to <>.. thai + msian cuisine in glenelg..
the atmosphere there is quite nice.. just the typical asian restaurants you can find in chinatown..
when asked bout how the food is, our food critic say:

"OK ah.. not bad! " (Lau 2009),

of which, coming from an extemely picky taster like him, it's a grade A to normal standards..
as can be seen from the reply from his flatmate..

"Wow.. that's a compliment! He's always complaining about the food in
Lincoln college!" (Ting 2009)

but then again.. the food are always an "OK only".. i've never heard of him saying.. "excellento!" or "very nice!" of the food in Adelaide before ler..

Only the one time..
When..

Jean burnt the barley/bean curd sheets soup to sell during Wesak food fair.. cos he was busy showing off his card tricks until we forgot to look after the fire..

test 1:

"it smells burnt n tastes weird! i think we have to dump the whole pot!" Jean
exclaimed.

He then slowly took a sip, and another sip.. then third mouthful. the golden mouth speaks:

"No ah.. it tastes weird.. but its not from the burnt bean curd.. maybe u add
more water to it and try again? i think its too SWEET" (jean added a lot a lot of sugar into it!)

my turn.. i was down with flu.. and i could distinctly smelled the burnt bean curds...
one small sip: "it taste weird. but it does not taste burnt.. add water???" i offered hopefully... not wanting to waste the whole pot of barley soup.. man.. tat's worth 50 bucks of profit the least ok!!

and so.. our experiments began.. just like neutralizing an acid/alkali solution.. in the meanwhile spooning out the precipitates..

Ways to save a mildly burnt pot of barley/bean curd soup

• add water.. continue cooking
• stir constantly
• "pump out" burnt precipitates asap!
• add water
• add saliva (testing la! like hv to test for pH)

after several testings

"not bad ahh!! its not tat burnt anymore.. hehehehe!" Jean
"Wow.. it tastes VERY GOOD! like my GRANNY'S! the bean curds are crushed and
murky enough!" Lau said.. Jean and I stared at him wide-eyedly..

It was supposed to be a failure pot! and yet he.. the freak who says he don wan to eat any japanese food here-cos-he-tasted-one-VG-one-in-msia-n-none-here-is-comparable-to-it-so-he-don-wan-to-spoil-his-tastebuds-tasting-BAD-food says its Deliciousss!!!

alalalaa.. and it tasted way better than the pot that was supposed to be the successful one.. hahahaz.. even another food picker - YiHua said it was Excellent... i guess we'veto thank for his tastebuds n learn from the lesson: "the spoiled broth can outperform if given the right treatment!"

XXXoooooooooooooooooXXoooooooooooooooooXXoooooooooooooooooXXX

FINANCIAL crisis!!!

the rate i'm spending is wayyyy over my income!!!
By the law of energy conservation,

• Input + accumulated = generated + output

and i'm soo not obeying it!!!!

in my accounts book.. the negative red is berry disturbing!!
total spend (for bdays only , 16-5 to 3-6) = 180 (inclusive of 5 ppl's dinners + dinner + presents).
total input (my own $$!! from 16-5 to 3-6) = 110.. hiah.. cry.. shyte.. darn.. damn..

generated = accumulated = 0. as can be seen, its over spent, how to accumulate??

balance = -70!

don drink wine when u r having period.. it will FLOOD..

don go for another round of excitement when u r t-i-r-e-d! if u cant cope of it.. dont!

it is beneficial to have time for yourself.. reflect on what you have done, am doing and will do.. its
called.. self-development..
