Australia style curry chicken?

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Wah....red hot colour with kind of spicy look...is that curry chicken? hmm...i thought so before that...but this is not our version of M'sia curry chicken...It's one of the famous food in Korea, it is called "Tak Tori Tang". "Tak" means chicken whereas "Tang" means soup in Korean language. This is such a delicious food that i haven't tried before...when you drink the soup...you will taste a rich and thick soya flavoured soup, followed up with spicy taste then,somore its perfect if you serve this dish with hot bowl of rice and have this kinda food during winter time,it's like having food in heaven..Thx to my housemate, Julian who is the main contributor of this dish...I just have to spend $2(RM6) for this such wonderful dish...worth...!

Hope i can learn some other countries' good food here, currently, all my housemates are from different countries with different culture and background. Those include M'sia(me), Korea(Julian), Indo'sia(Pinto - Supra owner..hehe), Eva(East Timur...island near Indo'sia), Fiona(Scottland) and Emma(Sweden - research in Pharmacy studies..cool). Yeah...my house is like an united nations! Hehe....

Yo...It's been 1 week since i posted my last blog...I have been so busy nowadays as a lot of things to catch up and to get used to it...Somehow, i managed to get myself some entertainment to cope up with the stress that keep pushing me everyday...haha! Playing soccer, hang out with friends, have meals in friend's house, dining together with my housemates and shopping for FOOD, these are all my so called "entertainment" haha....What to do, must spend some times on other things besides studying,if not, i will become paranoid...hehe! I knew that the air condition in Malaysia, especially KL areas is very terrible and reached danger level too...hope all of you are fine and "genki (energetic)" at all time...take care, mates...! Drink more water!!!

The picture that i attached here is just a picture of a section in an Australian newspaper! Not very special though but what I'm trying to focus in is the reporter's name above, Petrina Berry...can you guys see that? Petrina, this remind me of one of my good friends who is now in Penang, Malaysia. I knew her 2 years ago when i was taking my HSC(Pre-U) course in IICP, right, pet?This name is very unique and rare in M'sia, that's make her become a special person to me as well! I used to call her as 'Pet' coz it sounds like very close to me and i'm comfortable of calling her with this name....hehehe, hope you dun mind that. It's been a month since our last meet before i come over to Aust...and 1 week since our last chat in phone too...haha! She will be going to UK to persuit her studies soon...Hope all the best for you and must keep contact at all time ya....!

At last, just a simple phrase that means everything, "I miss you, pet"! I also miss my family, food and all my fellow 'gang' of friends that we used to hang out together...Yeahhh!! I can't wait to come back and visit all of you....including my favourite food...I'm Coming!

Special Guest of mine....!!!

Yoo.... this is my 3rd week here in Brisbane,Australia. Thx to leng sis and chang bro to drop by, leaving some comments here! Hope that there will be more of you giving me some ideas or messages!

2nd August :-

It's quite a normal day with lectures. My class already ended at 1pm due to no practical class. Except for Thursday, i will have my classes till 4pm everyday...gosh...! I got to know that my eldest bro's best friend, Eddy came to Brisbane from Perth for business trip yesterday. He called up me and we supposed to meet up on Monday, but due to some circumstances, we postponed it to tonite. Once i left the classroom, i grabbed my backpack, headed to the nearest convenient shop to get some groceries...hehe! Food, here i come! Just after half an hour, i reached at home and get some toasts & biscuits as my lunch...hmm!

At around 5pm, Eddy called me up saying that he confirmed that we could meet up at 8pm later tonite! He told me that every time when he reaches a new place, he will get the map and follow the direction to get to a destination. He said that there is no problem of finding my house location. All he needs is a car with adequate petrol and map! Haha...make sense anyway! Finally, he reached my place at around 8.10pm! When we meet each other, we immediately have a big "warm & welcome" hug! It's already 3 weeks that i didn't have this kind of "Home Sweet Home" feeling! It's really quite a long time since our last meet in Penang, Malaysia last X’mas. I quickly invited him to come in and have a look at my house. At the same time, I introduced all my housemates to him!! After a while, we began our journey to search for our dinner! We decided to have our dinner at China Town in Brisbane! We randomly picked up a restaurant and went into it without any hesitation as both of us were so hungry! We ordered 3 dishes and ‘kao tim’ them in 1 hour tome…hehe! He told me about his experiences in Australia since he already been here for 8 years…WOW! I really learned a lot from him. Just after finish our dinner, I directed him to my uni campus and ‘ronda-ronda’! About 15 minutes later, it was already 11.15pm! He dropped me at my house and went back straight to his hotel as he needs to work on the following day! Before leaving, we again, hugged and thanks to each other on the time spending together…Although is short, but I already very appreciated it!

5th Aug:-

My class started at 9am but i already woke up at 6.45am! It's still that cold...i'm feeling dizzy and sleepy still as i got back home at 1am, went to Gold Coast with friends yesterday...hehe! Bought a Hard Rock Cafe @Surfers Paradise Cap...It's been 10 years ago since my last visit there! Everything in my memory has changed...It's so nice there....but that's only my one day trip...very tiring and lack of time!

I promised to myself that i must not miss any classes although not enough of sleep...so i decided to wake up once i heard my alarm clock!! Eddy is going back to Perth today. He gave me a call yesterday night, asking me out before going back! Once finish my class at 1pm, i quickly gave him a call and he reached my house within 15 minutes...cool! We again, went to China Town and chose a Korean Restaurant for our lunch! He treated me both dinner and lunch coz he said he already working whereas i'm still new here,haha. I feel so paiseh(embarrased) bout this, but i really appreciated! He told me lots of experiences he had when he was a student few yrs ago,saying that I have to put more effort in adapting to both language(speaking accent) and the courses here! I remembered every single points he stated and keep them in mind as a guideline for a student like me! I have no regret at all, meeting up with him...although short time but really worthful...! I'm sure we will have chance to meet up again in the future! Cheers, mate!
