Ramblings

Basically, I've got nothing to write. Haha, cause though my week has been test and assignment-free, I didn't do anything that would interest you guys at home. Its been the same old stuff like, go out chill, have a beer/ice chocolate/hot chocolate, dessert, dinner, and just catch up with good ol' friends that I've not seen for like a week due to the intense studying.

Nonetheless, I'll introduce you to my all-time favourite snack. I MUST have it every week. Always buy it after church. Its.. KRISPY KREME doughnuts! Be it the original glazed (most famous), blueberry, chocolate icing, and many many more,

I LOVE THEM ALL!!

Every week i'll try something different. Its quite hard to stop the cravings. Its already become a habit until everytime i head down to the city, I have to go and buy it. So, if I head down everyday, I'll essentially grow fat but its sooo goood! I even checked whether I could franchise it, and set up one store in Singapore, but its harder than what I expected. =( Below are the criterias. Sigh. But I know it'd work if I set up a store in Singapore. Argh!

Anybody wanna invest?

INTERESTED IN A KRISPY KREME FRANCHISE? HERE ARE THE CRITERIA FOR ALL CANDIDATES

1) Applicants must have current ownership and operating experience or previous ownership and operating experience of multi-unit food service operations in the market that you desire to develop.

2)Our franchisees must possess the capital sufficient to fund the development of the market. We currently grant franchises on an area development basis. Specifically, our area developers are required to build multiple stores (10 or more) in a market. The minimum net worth requirement is $30 million or $1,000,000 per store to be developed, whichever is greater. For instance, a 15-store market requires a minimum net worth of $30,000,000.

3)Area developers must have substantial familiarity with the market proposed for development and be willing to develop multiple units over a period of time. In addition, they must be willing to diligently exert full-time best efforts in performing their obligations under the area development agreement.

Anyway, go check the website out for the doughnut flavours!

Yum yum yum!



This one is devil's delight. Must be due to the chocolate. The icing melts in your mouth, and the donut is fresh, firm and dense. Awesome stuff. Can never go wrong with original glazed as well! My favourite.

This is what I've been doing as well: learning to bake! This is cinnamon cake, hot out of the oven!



My baking skills aren't exactly crème de la crème but I think my apple crepes are good for a beginner! One day, I'll take a picture and put it here! Craving for it now also. Will make it for you guys one day! =D

Next best thing in Melbourne, Bratwurst! This one is spicy. I know in Singapore they sell it as well. If I'm not wrong, its in Plaza Sing ground floor, but nothing beats eating from the place that made it famous. The sausage's skin is crisp, the meat tender, tasteful and titillating. When you bite into it, the juice of the sausage just oozes out, and accompanied with baguette, is just....i dun know. I'm just lost for words now.


HUNGRY!!

Its freaking 3am, and I'm hungry. Bleah. Blogging about food doesn't help at all.

Below are just random pictures I took during the week.

Green Cauliflower sold in supermarts here. Damn gross la. Like some genetically-modified food. Maybe they put in GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein).



An ad I saw in the magazine. Haha, I think its quite amusing.



Next, vain photos of myself trying on some dresses. Obviously, I'm very free.



Can't believe I'm so vain. Oh well, thats what you get when you don't want to study, you've got nothing to do, and your room mate's not in. You play dress-up. =D

I know I look chubbier ( told you i've grown fatter), but not to worry!..I'm still borderline underweight, its just that the fats just don't know where to go. I need them in the bust n butt, but they always end up on my face and tummy. Bleah. Just started working out, so in due time, I'll be tone! Whee!


This is the church I attend. Cross Cultural Church of Christ. I just realised they've got so many Cs. Its an alliteration!


City scenary. Look at the clear blue sky!


Entrance of RMIT. Funky, cool, weird, odd, and..just queer. Like their students. Haha. Uni of Melb students are known as the NERDS. Bleah.


Caught this tram as it rode past RMIT. Love it! So red, and dotted with cranberries. Haha, you should see the TV ad for this juice. It pokes fun of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, David and Victoria Beckhams' intelligence. Sweet.


Streets.




I was walking back one day, when I saw many hot-air balloons in the sky. Quite a normal sight actually. I've got no idea what they're doing or where they're coming from, but its really quite peculiar. They're so BIG, so slow, but so grand. Pity the camera can't capture.


oo! My keeper friends are confirmed coming over! Haha, soooooo EXCITED!!! Whee! and Gera, I hope you get the job as a part-time animal keeper! Best job in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. Keepers are just awesome people...

Period. =D

GOLDEN GAYTIME

Who wouldn't love a gaytime?


Chocolate krispies coated over a vanilla centre surrounded by caramel. Awwwwesome. Mmmmmm...



Random shoe shots. I'm so streetwear.





This is one day to remember in my stay here in Melbourne. The area that I was staying had a complete 8 hour blackout! Even the traffic lights weren't working so it was super scary! The whole area was so dark. We made sure we couldn't see any car lights before dashing across the roads.

When we got back, cause the blackout activated the fire alarm in our apartments, everybody had to evacuate the building. So, before this, my roomies and I knew nobody from the apartment but since everybody was out of the apartment that very eventful day, we made friends!

When the fire alarm died, we went back to our apartments, it was so dark we couldn't even see our hands infront of us. Even the exit lights were out! So we just sat at the corridor of our apartments and talked in pitch darkness.



Results of that blackout day. Knew people from across the apartment! That guy is such a good cook! Went to his place to eat dinner a few times. Bak Kut Teh, chawamushi, french onion soup, and the list goes on...nice!!
