Australian Idol Finale

The supervisor lookalike won.

(T______T)

Sigh. Stupid Australian Idol.

I'm going back to watch Taiwan's Millionstar.

Life without rice isn't nice (T____T)

Yesterday it was Wui Hao's birthday and we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. Jo and I both had bento sets but we didn't allow ourselves to touch the rice much. However, we did have a few spoonfuls lah. Then Jo turned to me and said ' Do you notice how nice the rice is?'

Rice is warm, fluffy and yet a little sticky. How do I live without you?


After dinner we walked to this nice Malaysian place next door which sells lovely chendols. The silly boys ordered an extra one for us assuming we were going to share. But we were very gwai and refused the drink.
Today we had salad again.
The other day it was salmon with mixed salad.
Grilled lamb chop with mushrooms. After a while all greens start to taste the same, especially since we aren't allowed much ingredients to make salad dressings. It's extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. Bleah..

Besides missing rice, I really just miss cooking dishes. You know the one meat dish, one vegetable dish and maybe soup with rice kind of cooking. It's weird not using the slow cooker for braising spareribs, or maybe making tamagoyaki, stuff like that.

Jo and I also realised that we're not enjoying food that much anymore, even when we try to allow ourselves to take day offs and have one coffee drink etc. Stuff that used to taste so good just tastes rather bland. We are losing our foodie souls.
Anyway here's a picture that I took of Swan River with Perth city in the background. I am really looking forward to going home!!

Millionstar

Lately I've been watching this Taiwan Idol-ish show with all these young Taiwan kids. I like listening to all the songs and also the host is my favourite host 'Tao Zi' hehe.

Not sure whether Jan will like this show but in case you're interested its called 超级星光大道. I think they're up to season 3 now but I'm starting from season 2. Season 1 was quite funny because there was this guy who kept crying but was the favourite to win till he had to quit because he forged his age to get into the show! Chio si wa. Everyone on the show was crying when he announced that he was quiting but I was laughing so hard.

These Taiwanese have such funny English names, this girl's name is called 'Katsu', katsu??! Isn't that Japanese pork cutlet or something? Maybe she's saying that she's a 'zhu pa' hahaha. But all the girls seem so skinny! Don't they eat in Taiwan?

Ok, back to my show now, bye!
