Now i am still in lab..and it is almost 1am... it is really horrible to do all these.. all these late nights in school.. however, if it is going to give me results, i really don't mind... but most of the time, my results are.... oh god... pls help me!! If not, i really don't know how i can write my thesis...

Another 2 more hours in lab at least.. hope that it will end quickly.. think i shant be lazy tonight.. i should just call the security to pick me up! will call them 10mins earlier as there's often a waiting time of 15mins..

Promise that i will get some photos up soon.. havent been taking pictures for my blog!! Maybe put up my gels if it runs well.. but dunno if i can..hehe...

BABS X'mas Party!!

BABS X'mas Party was held last friday (14th Dec) and i just realised that i did not write that event on my blog! Seriously, I thought I had uploaded the photos I have taken onto my blog already! When i was browsing through my own blog a moment ago, then i realised that i missed out on that!! Haha~ My memory on the party is still fresh though.. so i guess i can still update it now! Hahahahaha..

First of all, it was stated that the event was held at the Randwick bowling club.. so i thought it was at the one at Belmore road... When i reach there with student no. 1 (Kevin), we realised that no one was there!! Then we decided to call the others to check if there are bowling club around and then we discovered that it is about 15 mins walk away.. so no choice... we have to walk there.. i still remember that i was very hungry at that moment.. so it was really torturous for me to walk for another 15mins.. Finally, we reached the bowling club, and to my surprise, their bowling are so different!! I think my general knowledge is really too low... haha...

The picture directly above shows the ground where they play their bowling.. it is different from what i played in Singapore as there are no fixed lanes.. What they do - if i am not wrong - is that they will throw a white ball out onto the end of the field, and then throw a 'bowling ball' (about 1/3 of the bowling ball we know) to attempt hitting the white ball.. Not too sure what are the rules because we didn't played that day.. haha...

As the party started a little late, i decided to go out of the club to wander a little.. i saw a fire station so i decided to take a photo of it.. there is also quite a nice bunch of flowers around.. so i just take it too..

The most exciting part of the X'mas party was on the FOOD!! I am CAT!! so food is my priority!! I LOVE FOOD!!! haha.. the meal was quite splendid.. there was lobsters and prawns.. turkey breast, hams, garden salad, potato salad etc etc.. can't remember so much now.. juz remember that the food was fabulous... It is really worth the $15 that we paid for the party!! Yum yum... are you drooling now??? hehe...

The party ended off with some Trivia quizzes.. seriously, i can't answer any of those questions!! it is SO difficult.. i am really lousy with my general knowledge..haha.. Weisheng and some of the other teammates were really good.. without them, i think i would have scored ZERO!! haha.. as i i think i should play my part, i get alex to help me!! The winner of the "Guess the year" section will win a ferrero rocher.. seriously, we thought we would have won with Alex help.. but in the end, we still got 2 questions wrong.. What's wrong with google?? Haha.. I think what matters most was the fun, so it is alright that we didn't win the Ferrero Rocher - i really want to eat though!! haha..

It was really a tiring day.. and after i reached home, i received Kevin and Kuan sms and call that there is meteor showers.. and so we went to watch it.. if you want to know the details, you can see my post on sunrise and meteor showers..it was really a very nice experience.. do have a look!

Succulent & Juicy Roast Duck!!

WAH!!!!!!! The roast duck that Stffy bought home from the City is simply delicious!!! Taste like those you can get from Tiong Bahru !! Nearly... haha.. *maybe i miss SG food too much*

Look at the pictures!!


But dun worry.. you can get this from the B.B.Q. King in the city near Chinatown!! Of coz it cannot be compared to those from Singapore but it is still very nice!! Thanks Stffy!!! I havent been eating roast duck for a few months already!!! This has made me really excited juz now!!! Sorry that the pictures aren't very clear because my hands were all oily when i took the pictures - didn't want to make my camera oily so i didnt hold it properly... but nonetheless, i still wanna take the picture to keep as a momento!!

The 'barbaric' act ended in less than a few minutes.. What left are just the bones... Can't wait to return to Singapore to savour all the delicious food!! Roti prata, Chicken Rice, Char Kway Teow, Hor Fun, Laska, Rojak, Mee Goreng, Bak Kut Teh, Curry Chicken, Nasi Lemak and many many more.. you know how long the list is right????


32 more days to Singapore!! Jiayou!!

Simple french toast for brunch!!

French toast!! French toast!! I still remember that this was one of the few things that mama cooked for me when i am in Singapore!! Really miss them!

The thought of making french toast today comes from the eggs that my juniors and Bern and Nat give.. Since there are so many eggs at home, i should make full use of them.. Hence, i have decided to make french toast with it.. Using a really simple method to do.. No cinammon, no vanilla essence and no milk.. that's coz i dun have all those stuffs at home... if not, maybe i can make a more decent french toast!! Wahahaha..

Nonetheless, making the french toast makes me think of mama.. the one that he made for me is really good.. dunno is it coz it tastes really good or it was made by him... i guess it is both.. A bit burnt on some of the toast coz i was busy washing stuffs den i forgot about my toast in the oven.. I shld had used oil to fry the toast but decided to use the oven - for two reasons - healthier and also nv try b4 mah.. haha...

Though taste and appearance wise is not that fantastic nor appealing.. i am still looking forward to make it another time!! I really like the egg and bread taste in combination.. the pepperiness, sweetness and saltiness too... Hmm.. maybe i shld ask mama to make for me again when i am back..

Thinking of making egg-coated fried rice now.. that is another of my mama specialty.. really uniue and delicious.. since i got so much eggs now.. maybe i can consider frying..haha.. juz hope that mama is here la..then he can cook for me.. =)
