OHHHHH AFRICA....

FINISHED WITH EXAMS PEOPLE!!!! :)

South Africa here I comeeeee!!!!

World Cup, I'm officially yours now!! <3

World Cup 2010 is Officially Hereeee!!!

I thought the opening ceremony was really good... I love watching formations... And I thought they did a good job!

First game wasn't too bad... First half was pretty slow and uneventful... Things started to pick up after Tshabalala scored the first goal for South Africa... I heart their vicotory dance! Hopefully there'll be more to come!!

Disappointed that Mexico then made the scores 1-1... Gahh... Would've loved to see South Africa win the opening match...

Oh wells, it was an interesting 2nd half anyways...

World Cup Fever has finally stuck me!! :D

why beer is good...

I know this is my second post today, but IT'S GOOD!! Bear with me...

So I was going through my lectures on Social Psychology, which our lecturer showed us this ad, which I found hilarious, and since I'm in front of my laptop, I thought I'd share this with you all, and not make me look like the only idiot laughing to myself in the library... XD

MAC vs. PC

"My PC brings all the errors in the yard, and they're like, "get a MAC retard!"".

Haha... YES I SO AGREE!!! By the way, I must say that although I wished I came up with this, this wasn't from me... I found this on my friend's status on Facebook.

I SO WANT A MAC!!!!

"If you CAN'T handle the heat, STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN!"

Haha... I love this dude, and what he says is oh-so-totally true!

I totally agree with what he says... I find him so refreshing and new since every time you hear about dating and relationships are, experience experience experience... and if you're only dating one guy, how do you know he is the one? Stuff like that...

But, this is not to offend anyone... I just thought what he said is true, in my opinion, and I found him funny! :D

Kaamatan/Gawai Dinner on the 31/06/2010

Who says Gawai only happens in Sarawak?? Aussie also can k... :P

So after months and months of anticipation, *cough*ReubenStephSherwynnaBryanshouldknow*cough*, the big day finally arrived. Started of with journeying all the way to Inala (1 hour bus ride from where I live) to go get the ingredients for food with Bryan and Uyen on the Saturday morning before the dinner.

On Monday morning (the big day), before uni started, I got up to marinade the pork. So I marinade it with lemongrass, ginger, garlic, soya sauce and pepper... I was pretty happy with the smell. It smelt perfect like home... :)

After uni that day, Bryan came over and we started marinading the chicken for the pansuh and prepared the belacan paste. Because we didn't have pestle and mortar, we had to improvise with a Smirnoff bottle filled with water and a chopping board...

Aren't we smart? Haha!! I actually had to pound my pork marinade as well, I felt so bad, 'cause I didn't wanna wake my housemates up. But apparently I didn't make a sound.... LOL! When Bryan was pounding the belacan paste, if you close your eyes, you could just imagine that you're being transported back home... plus the smell really enhanced the experience as well!!

By the way, I REALLY did throw the garlic!! Just to set the record straight!

I have to say that the ayam pansuh (chicken) was really good, considering the fact that we couldn't find turmeric leaves, or tapioca leaves, or bamboo. Instead of cooking it in bamboo as it suppose to be, we improvised again with aluminum foil.

Maybe more salt should have been added, but the lemongrass, garlic and ginger was really strong... So it was good. :D

Oooh, did I mentioned we managed to find kangkung? Yup, you guessed it! That's belacan kankung there, cooked to perfection by our chef, Bryan Wee! It was the most popular among our friends, well done!! :D

That's the pork you see cooking there! We tried to make babi bakar, but obviously this is the closest thing you can get to babi bakar without a fire. For a first try, it was really very good. I was surprised I managed to pull it off!

End of product! Of course only the best part of the pork was used... the BELLY!!! :)

Because it was also Kaamatan, it should only be right to have some Sabahan dish... This is guo tie, made by Steph... She says it's appropriate 'cause she's Sino Kadazan... ookayyy Stephhh... Haha! It was sooo good tho!

Dinner set on the table, babi bakar, belacan kangkung, ayam pansuh in aluminum foil, ulam (cucumber and cincalok sauce) and guo tie which was being warmed up at the moment this photo was taken...

And of course, what's a celebration without people eyy? I would say we did a good job considering there were no left overs... Yummmmy!!

Happy Gawai everyone!!

Sarawak Welcomes You!

I just had to share this clip with you all!

All the Gawai statuses in Facebook, make me miss home so much... And the images in this clip reminds me of home! Huhuhu... can see Kuching International, Tun Jugah, Main Bazaar, Waterfront etc... Can't believe only 3 months ago I was there!!
