due to violent protestation, i will now state that all the recipes for the stuff i talked about in the previous entry were obtained from wanyu. but next week i might be making some cookies with a friend who has this recipe. so that'll probably be my first try at a recipe that wasn't gotten from wanyu. also my first time trying to make cookies. so it might suck. but my hope is good.



see how lah hor.



oh and nothing really interesting happened this week. it just got hot and cold and hot and cold. i had more theatre rehearsals. i went to a stage lighting course. oh wait. something happened mid-week. but it's probably not very wise to put it up here. ask me about it and i'll tell you in private maybe.



that's all. get out of here.



oh oh and the weezer dvd and blue album deluxe edition isn't out in oz yet. so that's a little disappointing. will try looking for it again in a week or so.



ok you can get out now.

well another weekend passed. it wasn't as exciting and happening as the previous two. but still it was good. the weather's been going mad and its 41 degrees today. the heat is crazy. thank god for air-con in the flat. makes me not want to leave the flat to go to school. but of course i still went. but you can bet your life i made my way back to the flat as quickly as i could. i made pancakes which were more like crepes on sunday morning with an orangey-mango sauce with banana in it and i made brownies in the afternoon.







and this is what it looks like. the smiley face wasn't on purpose. the eyeholes were just holes i made to see if it's done and the mouth. well the brownie just cracked that way. see that darker centre part of the slice. that's all sticky gooey chewy while the outer covering is hard and crisp. needless to say, it was fantastic. those who have tasted my brownies before will know. it's almost all gone by now. saving a bit for some others. but i'm nicking bits of it from the fridge every now and then. how could i resist. ha.



well that's all for now.

if you guys have a sony imagestation account, there're more photos to look at here. the password's "xan".

had a fanfuckintastic weekend. headed down south to mandurah to sijie's place. went with bunch of my friends from hall. we went crabbing, which is just trying to catch crabs with nets. and went to a crab fest there. it was hella fun. and sijie has a great place down there.



check out the photos at the usual place.

wot a night i had.



we all met up to celebrate adrian's birthday.





this is the main gateway to what i presume is the chinatown area in perth. hopefully from the following photos you can see the sheer magnitude of the place. oh and i'm taking this from the inside of chinatown. chinatown doesn't have a road through it.





and as i turn around i get this view. see this lane. ok you can see the end of it. at the end is just a right turn and it links to the opposite of chinatown. which is another similar lane like this. also lined with eateries. the whole place is wide as maybe two of the main gateway that you see in the first picture put side to side. yes that's how huge chinatown is. it is what you would call quaint and cosy. in other words, ridiculously small. behind those two cold girls (it wasn't that cold) are the guys waiting to get in the restaurant. oh and it isn't really that bright at night in chinatown. i was just fooling around with the iso settings on my cam.





we ate here. last night was the second time i ate here. and last night was a much better experience than the first. probably was shy the first time i was here with the rest last semester. this time. we stuffed ourselves with the cheap good chinese food. i was a happy boy.





after dinner we went over to sernwei's place. he shares it with his sister and three other people. this is him being a gracious host and offering me some wine and several empty bottles of beer. very gracious.





we watched some terminator 2 on tv. and i realised that some scenes were cut from the version we got in singapore years ago. what a gyp. hurrah for late night oz tv.





this is me and adrian. and some random people in the background.





this is me and adrian and some more people. we care not for conventional photo smiles.





these are the girls. jun, yvonne, qq and mindy. with two random guys at the back. some of you might recognise my photolurker profile.





ok time for names. i can't get away with being lazy for every photo. at the back that's raymond from hongkong, damien, sernwei. then in the middle it's mindy, adrian, qq and yvonne. then in the front you have raymond from singapore and a bum we picked up on the way back.





after the booze and madness, the night ended with me in someone else's jacket and drooling on qq's lap. if you look at 5th photo at the really red person that is allan, you will be looking at the person who crashed into bed way before the night was over. by the way, qq's got one of the ugliest pyjama pants ever. that's why it looks like i'm resting on curtains or a tablecloth.



right. there are tons of other photos. but it's a bitch to load everything up. and i'm sure you don't want to be loading up so many damn photos when you come here. if you ever do.



ok time to do my laundry and do some work today. hurrah for first week of semester 2.

aight you know you wanna see them. here's my great flat this semester



more to come later. of other mundane inane stuff.



aren't you so fuckin' excited?
