Hey all!
Wow, it's been a month since my last post. The month of May and June were pretty quiet, because of the ending of Colour Conference and the coming of Hillsong Conference.
Around the end of May, I was facing one of the most stressful times in my College life.. I did not plan my time well, so I had to cram my assessments into one week and finish them in that time before the due date.
I procrastinated, as usual, and that brought me so much stress that week. To top it off, I got sick in that week too.. So basically, I had to do 2 big assessments & write a song alone.. Sounds like a load of fun.. But it was during that time that I felt such a great sense of accomplishment & achievement that I usually lacked..
Anyway, going on to "A Taste of Home...", this post is just my Singapore uncle, U. Roger, generously buying us dinner again. God bless him!! That dinner we had was one of the most memorable meals I've had since I stepped foot into this foreign country. The reason why it was memorable was because we ordered CRABS !!!!
C'mon people! Just look at the photos and drool..... This is fried crabs with 'fun see' (Cantonese) or Glass Noodles (Aussie English).
I was the happiest Asian in the place.. I took the time to take apart the shell and eat everything nice & clean.. I even cracked open the legs to get the meat (I know it sounds barbaric, but it was really good!!)
What else made me so happy was the waiters there actually brought out the live seafood in plastic bags to show it to you after you placed your order.. They never do that in Malaysia!!
So the first photo was of my yummy, still-alive crabs and the second photo was our fish and crabs together. The guy was sweet enough to smile for the camera. Hehe.. He was actually going back to the kitchen, but I called him back to take this photo.. Haha I know, so 'hou yi si' right??
Lastly why I was so happy that night was because of the really good soup that reminded me of those Chinese Restaurants in Malaysia.. I became a little nostalgic, because usually Chinese families get this huge table that sits like 10 people and everyone will be eating peanuts and drinking tea.. But that night, it was only U. Roger, my sister & I, so I felt our table was a little too spacious and empty.. Aww sucks for me..
Anyway here's the soup~
Looks good huh?! It tasted really nice too, not like the fake Chinese food that Australian's like..
Please is there anyone who wants to send me some Nasi Lemak as a B-Day gift for me??
Hehe.. Sorry if this post was a bit too wordy.. Just had a lot that I wanted to tell you all!!
