Thank you
Sorry for the misleading post. I am perfectly fine, I am NOT stressed, nor am I depressed.
The due date for the scarry assignment has been postponed. So I can have good night sleep after next Tuesday. So don't worry about me. =)

Damn
I only have one class for today (which means I usually have to travel for 3 hours just for this class), tutorial for Biotechnology in Modern Society, and I can't skip, because we have participation marks for this tutorial, worth 10% for final marks, and we need to attend at least 8 out of 11 tutes. THEREFORE, no matter how much I hate to travel for so long just for this one hour tute, I still need to come every week. Even now, when I am really busy with assignments and tests, and tired (after effect of having only 3 hours sleep on Sunday night), I still forced myself to get out of bed just to attend this tute. And you know what? He is sick, the tute is canceled. I'm not saying that he can't fall sick, but for goodness sake, does he know there is a really great invention called INTERNET?! I'm pretty sure that he didn't start feeling unwell and decide to cancel the tute on 12pm this afternoon? (the tute is on 2.15pm). He could just send us an email earlier informing us that the tute has been canceled! A few lines of announcement wouldn't take him more than 5 mins? Now, I travel for 3 hours for NOTHING! GRRRRRR......!!!!!
Sorry, I just need to vent my spleen - I am super super not suang now, I can't start my assignment. *Sigh* The first day of spring, today is definitely not my day....

Week 5 tuesday
Oh, don't you think it's a bit pity to be blown away by wind? Therefore, I came out with a conclusion: eat more (to gain more weight~)! Hehe, went to Oriental spoon (the korean japanese restaurant that I spent $36 last time =p) again today~ Because it was really cold today, fer and I both ordered seafood spicy udon. Don't worry, this one $10 only~Err yes, I think they cook japanese noodle in a korea way~lol~but it tastes REALLY good. The soup was about the same as the one we had last time (we ordered seafood casserole last time). In a word: YUM~The only thing I am not satisfied is that the soup became cold very fast (in comparison with my dining speed~). T.T Anyways, I think $10 is pretty reasonable~I am very satisfied after the meal~This meal will be my last lunch outside until the break (which is 4 weeks away) because I'll be busy for the overwhelming assessments~weee~~~~T.T
Can someone please wind the clock or make it faster? I want my break!

Therefore, as you can imagine, I'm bored to dead now~I don't like this - knowing that I'll be extremely busy for the next few weeks but I'm so free now...T.T And what comes together with my hectic weeks will be 2 F1 GPs for two consecutive weekend. What's more, the Spa God (namely kimi raikkonen) will be racing in spa the night before my biotechnology mid semester test! T.T D*mn FIA, they just enjoy to arrange the racing calender like this - when I'm super free (as I am now), they are having a 4-week summer break, but when all my assignments and mid semester tests come together, they'll be having 2 (important) races in 10 days! Grrr.....Stupid Max Mosely (yeah I know he is not the one scheduling the calender, but I'm just looking for someone to blame to~).
Ah, so there will be 2 new drivers in valencia - luca badoer and romain what (give me sometime to memorise his name la...)~Could it end up with more accidents? lol~ Kimi hasn't cut his hair~(neither have I... T.T) I thought he would have cut it during his break...does he really want to keep it long like James Hunt....? Anyway, he looks so "fresh" after having such a long break~He has really been enjoying his summer - rallying, enjoying summer at seaside in Finland, playing jet ski~
Right, enough for this entry~ta~

Anyway, let's nature tell whether or not the spring has arrived~
Little purple flowers in front of er gu's house. Cute, aren't they? ^^
Hmm, that's all for flowers~I must confess that I am not that keen snapping photos everywhere nowadays...I guess it's because this is my second year, I take everything around as granted - less appreciation (thus less interesting moments, consequently leading to dull life...lol~).
BBQ duck rice(烧鸭饭)from last week~$8.50 should be a reasonable price eh?
Might not look interesting, but you'll find lots of surprise in there~ - Spicy chicken ribs on rice (椒盐鸡饭)~Juicy, oily (in a positive way~), crispy chicken, and they added some yummy unknown sauce (I supposed it should be 卤汁 or something similar~) on the rice, so that it wouldn't be too dry. I'd say it's the best spicy chicken ribs on rice I've ever had! (Guess what? I think I had never ordered spicy chicken ribs on rice before~ =p). These two dishes are what Rose Garden famous for~Although it was quite distressing eating there (I just stuffed everything in my mouth and chewed as quick as I could), I'll definitely go back!
Between, I've addicted to bubble tea (or 珍珠奶茶 if you like). T.T Can you believe that I'd spend $4 for a cup of drink? RM12 for a cup of drink??? Ohh 2 cups of that would be enough for me to pay for another plate of spicy chicken ribs on rice! I should restrain myself, IF I can~ ^^
p/s: I think I've damaged my stomach receptor, or probably my nervous system or serebrum or serebelum or medula oblongata whatever you call it, because I constantly feel hungry these few weeks, no matter how much I've eaten. Oh you know, hungry doesn't feel good... T.T

Toast for Kimi Matias Raikkonen
From the onboard video clip when kimi crashed, his first words after the crash were: are you okay? (he was asking his co-driver kaj lindstrom). And then he asked, did I go too fast? And kaj answered no. Awww...Sorry, but I just easily got touched by these trivia things kimi did.
Oh yes, I'm interested in rally now. I was wondering if I would follow rally if kimi decided to go on rally after he retired. Now my answer is definitely YES! He has proven his talent in rally, I don't care about his accident, as long as no one was injured. I'm proud of him! <3 (Oh blogger should really create some emoticons - I need a love emoticon here!)

Week 2 Food
First of all, we discovered a new restaurant (err, it's not really "new", I mean it's new to us~) on Tuesday! It's just next to Shanghai village....Their price is about the same as Shanghai Village (some are even cheaper!), the ambience is much better than Shanghai Village's, they have vege dumplings as Shanghai Village, as well as other dumpling variety, they have much more rice and noodles variety than Shanghai Village, their dish portions are much larger than Shanghai Village's, and the most important point is, their foods are soooooo yummy! I think I don't need to mention, but just to remind you that, fer and I can really eat a lot (we used to order 3 dishes for 2 of us....=p). So we ordered 素水饺 (15只),水饺(15只)和四喜焖肉汤面。
Vege dumplings~15 for only $6.50! Cost just the same as Shanghai Village~Taste all right as well~
水饺。15 for $7. Umm, the skin was a bit too thick, but still, taste all right~
Next, O-Bento @ Melbourne Central. I always pass by this tiny little shop, and it is always full of people. So I thought I would try it someday. Met Evonne at Melbourne Central today, when we were walking out of Melbourne Central, we passed by this shop, and decided to give it a try. As usual, it is packed with people, because the shop was really narrow. Evonne recommended me the Gyutan Don - beef tongue don (sounds scarry ho? =p). She said it was very delicious. Err, actually I would like to try, but their ramen looked really tempting, because the weather was pretty cold, I wanted to have some hot soup noodles, and also, after watching the Japanese drama Beautiful Life, I was really craving for ramen~
Evonne ordered curry chicken don. I tried, a bit sweet, not too bad, but I still prefer m'sia curry~hehehehe~
My ramen. With 2 sliced porks, seaweed, bamboo shoot, 蟹柳,卤蛋. It was delicious, but the weather was too cold, the soup got cold very soon T.T Oh I need to mention that the 卤蛋 was really yummy! And as you can see, the egg yolk was very big - almost bigger than the egg white! Oh I missed mama's 卤蛋 la.....T.T
Oh and we had Gyoza as side dish. It looks like 锅贴,but tastes like 饺子 - the skin is thinner and less chewy compared to 锅贴. Not bad not bad, at least we loved it!
After being shooed (nola, but there were too many people waiting, we couldn't sit there for too long), we decided to have dessert at Max Brenner. On the way there, saw a cupcake bakery.
The super giant cupcake~lol~I think it is not edible~
They have lots of colourful cupcake on the display window~cute~! ^^ After we went back the shop few hours later, almost all of the cupcakes were sold.
All right, back to Max Brenner. It's famous of its chocolate and chocolate products. We ordered a chocolate fondue for two, and a belgian waffle. OMG! They were heaven to chocolate lovers like me!
Hohohoho, I'm sorry papa mama, since I haven't tried chocolate fondue before, I decided to try it today. This tray, consists of a milk chocolate and a dark chocolate fondue (the lighter colour one is milk chocolate and the darker colour one is dark chocolate), some sliced banana and strawberries (the left bowl), 4 marshmallows and some banana cakes, costs me $16. =p
They lit a small fire to keep the chocolate melted~so cute~^^ Ohh the milk chocolate was realllly delicious! It was milky, and tasted like Lindt milk chocolate, which I love so much! Regarding the dark chocolate, I dunno, but to me, it was a bit too sweet for dark chocolate - I prefer the bitterness in dark chocolate. But still, I finished both! ^^
Belgian waffle, recommended by Evonne. OMG! The waffle was toasted just right, 外脆内软, and the melted chocolated was still warm in my mouth. The combination was just PERFECTO! I particularly love this melted chocolate - I kept licking my fork (I would actually love to lick the plate, but thought that people around me would be afraid of my action....T.T) and my knife~ It wasn't cheap as well - $5 for this piece of waffle x.x But, I think it worthed this money!
And, I always kept an eye on what people ordered. I noticed that many of them ordered hot chocolate, and the chocolate lick - just the thick melted chocolate without the "side dish". Hmm, maybe I should try them next time~I will definitely go back! Oh, and they sell individual chocolate as well - each for $1.90. =.= The chocolates looked just like piece of art, it's a shame that I didn't get the chance to take some photos, because I was busy trying their new chocolate - lychee and coconut truffle =p. Awwww.....I could finally understand why would people spend $1.90 on a tiny little small piece of chocolate. The waitress told us that she hates coconut, but found that the coconut truffle was all right, and I agree with her. They didn't taste like artificial lychee or coconut flavour, and mixed perfectly with the chocolate flavour. The texture was no longer like a chocolate, it was a bit more fluffy. We tasted 2 chocolates, which cost $3.80, free of charge~! Thanks to Evonne's sociability~lol~
Conclusion: had a happy week 2~^^ I guess I wouldn't be happy when I stand on the scale later =p Planning to go to Garage next Tuesday - a bar/cafe selling Indonesian food. Guess what? I saw Soto and tempeh on their menu! ^o^
