Apple!

I made Apple Crumble!!!  :)


Its really easy and it tasted good too! 


I wanted to take photos, like step by step, but totally forgot about it  :(


So here you go, just pictures of the final product.


Ingredients:
Flour
4-5 Medium sized granny smith

Caster sugar
Water
Butter


So...What you do is.. you peel and core the apples  :) 
Chop them into like bite chunks 
(Soak them in salt water while chopping the other apples so that it won't turn into some ugly-looking color.)
After chopping all the apples
Prepare a pan, fill the pan with some water and some sugar, then add in the apples.
Cook them over low heat, until the apples are slightly soft (beware not to make it TOO soft though)
Then, get a bowl, put flour, caster sugar, and chilled butter into it. 
Use your fingers, mix them up, until they become like crumbles  :)


After the apples are soft, get a baking case.
Place the apples in it.
Sprinkle some cinnamon
Then continue scooping the apples into the case.
At the top, place the crumble mixture over the apples, and sprinkle some cinnamon (Just a little will do)


Then put it into a preheated oven, about 180 degrees


Bake for about 20-30 mins, serve while its hot with some vanilla ice cream!!






And here you go!  :)

Hmmmmmmm

Harlow Mellow Mashi Maro!  (Don't give me that =.= look people, I have the rights to be cute) 
hahahahahah...I'm so lame.




So anyways, I haven't been checking my weight for the past 2 months, because I refuse to buy a weighing scale (I am cheapskate like that OK)
So one day, Chee Yin and myself went to The Reject Shop, and I was like "OOH LOOK WEIGHING SCALE!"


*takes out weighing scale from the shelf, put on the floor, removed shoes and stepped on it*
(Yeah I am shameless like that!) (WHAT?! Check weight have to remove shoes wan what...so that its more accurate)


And...I found out that I'm like 2kgs lighter than I was back in Malaysia.
Then I was like, "Aiyah bluff people wan la, I'm sure I'm heavier than this"


*puts back weighing scale on the shelf and walks away*




Few days later, I went to the Chiro clinic for adjustment, and the chiro went out from the room to get some stuff. I was looking around the room and TA-DAH i saw a weighing scale!!!
So quickly, I checked my weight. And....it's the same as when I checked in the shop a few days back.




Since then, I kept on thinking, why why why.


(DADDY AND MOMMY, NOOOOO I DIDN'T DIET)


In fact, I eat so much more compared to the food I eat in Malaysia.
I eat at least 3 meals a day, and the portion is huge. 


I had fried rice for dinner earlier, and I got hungry again. I just had another 2 pieces of Hash Brown.    =S


What is wrong?


Its either the weighing scale back at home is not functioning properly, or my eyesight is THAT bad, or the gravity here is different than in Malaysia.
Hahahah I'm talking so much nonsense!


Sorry lah no photos coz I didn't go anywhere other than uni and grocery shopping. I'm sure you're not interested to know what I buy from supermarkets right.


I have an essay which is due on Friday and its like 30%!! Its a Psychology essay.
and.... I FINISHED IT ALREADY! 
I am so proud of myself ok!! 


lalalalalala....


I had a mid-term test for Marketing earlier today and it was.....just OK.




I have an essay about New Media theorist to write, which is due in 2 weeks, and I haven't started yet. *guilty 
Oh I'll be writing about Lawrence Lessig and his theories and concepts and yadi yada..


Gonna start on Friday! (Why not tomorrow you may ask, its simply because I want to have a break before I start the heavy loads of reading) 
=D




ANDDDDD LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M GOING BACK IN 52 DAYS!  :D

Countdown

58 more days and I will be back!  :D


Just the thought of it makes me damn excited!!! 


When I was in Malaysia, I complain every. single. day about everything I could. 
From traffic jam, to the hot weather, to the stupid drivers, to the rude people, aiyah everything la!


Complain non stop.


And I kept telling myself, I can't wait to get out of this country.




Yeahhhh. Right..


Hahaha..


I never thought I'd miss Malaysia so much! No, let me rephrase, I never thought I'd even miss Malaysia.


I truly miss Malaysia and everyone back home so so much!


I miss the dirty mamak stall that serves yummeh and cheap food.
I miss the "lah"
I miss the random drive-around-not-knowing-where-to-go times

I am too lazy to write them all out okay. xD




Many people ask me : "You're in Aus now, total freedom, so nice right??"
Errr, yeah freedom yes.
But, I feel that I am more "kuai" (good girl) here, despite all the freedom that I have, not to say I don't have freedom back at home also.


All I do in Perth is...Go to uni, come back, online and talk about nonsense n gossips with friends and family, eat, shower, sleep.
Occasionally, grocery shopping.
Weekends, laundry.
Assignments. Assignments.
Library.




At home, I will go here go there go here go there, until I myself get sick of going out. 
Haha.


I miss those days   =p




58 MORE DAYS WHOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!




As the number gets smaller, I get more and more motivated to finish up my assignments and whatnot, so that I can go back faster! =D

Fish N' Chips, The Freo Way

Howdy!

I've been in Perth for about 2 months plus now, and although I've been to Fremantle twice, I didn't have the chance to taste the "oh-so-famous" Fish and Chips.

Wanted to go to Garden City but it's closed due to Good Friday. 
So in the end decided to go to Freo via ferry with YonSern, since the both of us have absolutely nothing to do anyway.



This is my 2nd time going to Freo via ferry. The 1st time was with my family when they came down with me. I was sleeping throughout  xD 
This time, I stayed awake and was busy snapping photos of anything and everything. 
The breeze was uber nice!  :D


Spotted some boats too  :)










Yours truly


YonSern








PLEASE BE SAFE
AND HELP CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
If you climb or sit on the railing you may fall in.
The propellers will chop you up. The wildlife may eat you and get sick.





Look so fun!  I wanna do that too!!













We went to Kaili's for Fisn N' Chips. The queue was super long, but we decided to go with it anyway, since everyone said its damn good. Well, for me, it wasn't anything heavenly, it was really just FISH and CHIPS.
That's about it. Hmmm, the fish was fresh tho!  :)

the famous fish n' chips





I was taking ages to finish my food!  :p


I can't remember what was I talking about haha I look so excited!

























After walking around in Freo, we went to Cottesloe Beach.
I remember seeing pictures of sculptures when Yi Ling went there the other time. So i was searching and scouting around for sculptures but I couldn't find any. I went back and asked Yi Ling about it, she said its for a limited time only! So..yeah..  =S
But it was all good, the sand was really fine and the water was so cold!
Had a scoop of Gelato before we headed back home.   :)













I finally went exploring in Perth! After twooooo months!!  :D
