Asian Food Odyssey – Part 2

There seems to be a problem with the Windows Live Writer. This is the program I use to blog as I'm too lazy to type on a html page and it seems like a feature in my computer =P

I haven’t actually finished with my food odyssey from the last post as we found yet another nice authentic Japanese restaurant in Carlisle.

I guess if you’re in Perth long enough, you should be able to figure out this place. It’s called Sapporo and their food is real good! The price? It’s a little pricey, in my opinion but what’s cheap in Perth these days? Here are the pictures and the restaurant’s details at the bottom. Bon appétit.

Oh and yes, I was very sick. Thus, I looked pale.

Asian Food Odyssey

Lately of such, I’ve been eating out a lot. By saying that, I do mean a LOT! Being sick makes me crave for home cooked food and home cooked food to me means Asian food. That’s something closer to heart, I suppose.

We discovered a restaurant somewhere down the road from my place and decided to give it a go since it was Father’s Day in OZ. They served pretty authentic Malaysian and very large portion for A$10. Here are the pictures:

Bare Trees

Spring is here and I don’t quite like it. I’m serious, spring may be the season I hate the most (apart from winter) because it’s the time I get my annual hay fever relapse and yes, I hate to use nasal spray or take Zyrtec on a daily basis!

Something caught my eyes this spring. It’s the growth of flowers, it’s a celebration of new lives and new beginnings for most of the plants. It also made me wonder why do homeowners with gardens or plants like to trim down their plants to a state where it’s so bare you get goose bumps? The photo below should be an interesting reference.

Spring oh spring, how long would thou last?

Me and Big Things

How do you define big things? Could it be big physically, or big ideas in the progress of becoming the real deal? Or perhaps, being successful? I guess the latter fits in my way of defining big things. Now the next thing to tackle would be how big should big things be? No, this post isn’t written in a way to complicate the meaning behind, and yeah, there is a meaning behind it.

What I’m trying to say is, being a journo graduate that is working 2 part-time jobs in a full-time environment made me think a lot. Especially during times like that, when I think I ought to do better things that relates to my field. I want to be a journalist, someone who writes and pens down all sides of the story, someone who delivers, someone who’s just and proud of what she’s doing. I want to find my passion of writing back. That is what I want to do now. I know life doesn’t always turn out the way you want it to be, but being a believer and being hopeful, I believe things would turn out what the Almighty wants it to be.

It’s pretty clear that I want to go on blogging about things but I think the laziness in me is spreading inside out and now I’m uncontrollably lazy. So I just don’t want to be a pathetic graduate looking for a job in the field printed on my degree. I want to be passionate about things, be myself again and pick up the things I love from where I left behind. My next post would be dedicated to this special little girl that stepped into my heart and I honestly believe, I would never forget her.
