Here i am again blogging to comfort myself that i do make a revision for the coming IELTS exam.

Thought of the day:
like today, i had a sudden contemplation and it freaked me out a little. How much time did i spend in year speaking English? Judging from the number of people in my circle of friends, 60% of them are from China.

Main Entry:
2 days ago, i came up with a new term the "shallow eater", "food non- adventurous" or "eating safe"
Ever went out with any friends and they just sticked with their only preference from the menu?
When you asked them, they just say they hardly ever get bored with it. If they have made a new choices, then they might end up suffering due to the new dish is not within the range of their liking.
i went out shopping with lumpy 2 days ago and we had dinner at this new restaurant somewhere boxhill. I was to tired to make any orderings as my legs were killing me resulted from 4 hours of walking. Thus i just threw the menu to lumpy and hope for the best.

the decision was ended up with chicken and bland noodles. I suggested a Taiwanese stinky tofu as a complementary for the boring decision, and lumpy was so scared of trying it and begged me not to order it. That was where i had the sudden epiphany.

If a person is so scared of trying new dishes, i couldn't help but wonder wouldn't the ODD behaviour like this will be reflected by his/her daily routine as well? bet certainly it does. For instance, if they only like certain dishes, as a result, they only go to that particular restaurant / hair salon / cinema / brothel /brand. And the daily lives will just continue to re-cycle that direction. Wouldn't they miss out so many interesting things that might be just a stone away from where they lived?
Inevitably, i also think they are just purely ignorant (probably minor selfish and coward) and just didn't acknowledge the existence of other (better) foods that created for them to try, i pity the chef.

i have another friend, lets call her yoyo. For the first few years when i know her, she was all about this chinese restaurant. The restaurant was the mecca of her lives and she probably will spend at least 3 times in a week having the infamous soggy , over dried ( juxtaposition i know, but that's the point, i don't even know ow they make it) dumplings and over bland dan dan noodles . It was until months ago then she was exposed to this new lanzhou noodle shop. And since that day she never mentioned the chinese restaurant anymore.

so, to fella readers who is dining conservatived (new word again), the world doesn't revolve just around that particular place you always go, if it does, what is the The Age Good Food Guide for?

a come back blog

Listening to N.E.R.D "yeah you" right now and strutting in Paris runways with full on attention, ok the later part is just my pure imagination.
sometimes i can be inherently naive.
(oh well at the very least i totally know my capability of what i can and CANNOT achieve, judging from my physical appearance. Ain't like somebody or anybody who will slam themselves at a random modeling agency and self declare a walking wardrobe.

so ok, i had my very final university exams and i passed!, which also means for the coming semester, i will be purely researching and designing projects given by supervisors, how pro can that be... (grins). Had a wholesome holiday as i have splurged quite a bit revamping my new wardrobe. okok i know fella readers will be so curious about the labels and brands i lay my eyes on, here comes:

Morrissey (whoa), Ermenegildo Zegna (betch), Ksubi, roger david and some other random not worth mentioning junks. I know i know, labels and Kenji are inseparable right now, and my mom is gonna kill me if i tell her.

did i mention i nearly spent about 1700AUD alone for this holiday? firstly was the Sydney escapades, then retails (as mentioned above) as well as my newly bought PSP . This may sound ridiculous but i do believe the power of my PSP will hinder me from the future extravagant expenditures (finger crossed)
Sydney trip was a blast, firstly it was fabulously fabulous, makeups and haute outfit were the things that make me looked so perfect throughout the trips. Not to mentioned how much i have eaten in a day and stay slim and fit for the newly bought clothings.
the trip was planned about 5 weeks ago after i have dared lumpy that he will not go anywhere ever. (tip 1: for women out there, men are not meant to be dared, if you want to get something, just dare them and i will guarantee 99% this trick will work miraculously)

accompanied by i-phone, we stayed at a 3 stared hotel situated at somewhere Pitt Street. i will just rate it as moderate in terms of services, but a 5 stars plus 2 my happy thumbs up for the price. If any travelers who intend to have a good long city escapades, honestly i would say any hotels in the city aren't not even close to ideal. To the contrary, if anyone plainly just need a shelter for the night, you are dumb not to choose it. Firstly, the pool+outdoor jacuzzi were under maintenance when we were there, and the size of the pool is not even worth jumping in and i bet Donald trump's private long bath will be way bigger that that. For the jacuzzi, if anybody wants to know how doe it looked like, just go and have a look at THE SIMS.

services, it is above average for me, but i couldn't help but wonder how old was the receptionist who checked us in... hmmm probably he is only 16 and speaking of child labouring in Pakistan (hehe). Oh i have to ask fell readers, is it just me being too picky or Aussie's hoteliers are just too broke to provide toiletries? i can still remember when my dad traveled all the way to China, pretty much his luggage was 10% fulled of excessive toiletries like combs, toothbrushes, cotton buds and toothpastes. BUT i couldn't find any of these in any Oz hotels, not even a single sanitary pack or tampons. Hmmm i was wondering what will happened if heavy period hits a single lady who is crazy enough forget to pack her personal necessities?
