depressing day

Today was a depressing day. dont know if its cause the stress of VCE but I OFFICIALLY HATE SCHOOL!!! its like my life is slowly dying and i dont even care if i fall... maybe i need some motivation or something cause right now CAN I LEAVE SCHOOL!??!?!?

anywhoooo..... today after school me and my wife (i am not a lesbian just to let you know) went to tutor for chemistry. now i was gonna take a photo but i kinda forgot and probably not likely id get a picture now since we both decided not to go to that tutor again. its like i have to go all the way to the city and study for ONLY 1 HOUR AT THE STATE LIBRARY!!

Then after tutor i K.Oed for like 2 hours even though it was suppose to be only an hour cause i have a tower of pure homework. ANYWAY, i didnt know why but my cousin felt like baking vietnamese sponge cake FROM SCRATCH!! and heres a picture of my success...


I WISH!!!!!!!!!!! that was a cupcake i bought at the city (was soo mouth watering and sexified *in sane terms it is really delicious*). i shall notify my reccomendations of tasty meals and desserts in some special blog that my friend grub(http://grub-town.blogspot.com/ , she is a very good chef) teaches me... anyway these are the actual pictures of my epic fail.





DONT ASK ME WHY I FAILED IT!! i read the instructions to the bone and i get THAT RESULT but when i alter it, it looks normal but the texture is fried.(couldnt take a photo of it cause my family chowed it down) TISS WHY when i get married... im gonna marry a chef. that way i dont have to accidentally kill someone with my poisonous, toxicating, deformed and ugly looking things (pray god my future daughter doesnt suffer with cooking skills).




OMG I JUST REMEMBERED THAT TODAY WAS THE MISS UNIVERSE BEAUTY PAGEANT (even though it was already viewed but Australia enjoys viewing shows later than other countries) and of course the winner was.... MISS VENEZUELA.... again.... i cant believe that miss australia lost to miss kosovo. like dude man racheal was soo much hotter, she won the swimsuit round and came 4th in the evening gown (btw was very stunning and gorgeous and i would so totally wear it) and she answered her question soo well whilst miss kosovo came 3rd in the swimsuit round and 2nd in the evening gown (it was rather boring not soo extreme as i thought it would be cause afterall ITS FOR MISS UNIVERSE MAN!!) and not to be mean but her answer DIDNT EVEN RELATE TO THE QUESTION!! i gotta admit it was a little tricky but like dude man... you dont have to answer it soo blondly and she wasnt even that pretty either. i reckon this is all llike favourtism... FAVOURTISM!!!!!(i reckon kosovo looks like cher XD)



AND MISS VENEZUELA!!! she was pretty hot BUT NOT AS HOT AS MISS AUSTRALIA!! such a disappointing year this year, was not satisfied with this years crowning. NOT HAPPY AT ALL!! and at the end of it was soo hilarious (well not that funny but it was pretty funny), when the old miss universe was like going insane cause her country had won again (twice in a row which has made history) they were like jumping like maniacs and when the old miss universe crowned the new miss universe, it looked like she threw the tiara on her head and it fell right off!! was soo funny.



and that sums up my day for today, better head off to bed or ill look like a raccoon tomorrow XD

full moon??

ALAS THE 40 HOUR FAMINE IS OFFICIALLY OVER!!!! and what did you experience out of it you might ask... well lets just say in 40 hours, i have became a 60 year old woman. I have the most painfulest back ache ive ever experienced in my entire life. literally if i had a choice, i would probably just lie on my bed forever and never get up... but i had to cause today was quite fulfilling.


had to suffer sleeping on that for 40 hours (looks comfy BUT ITS NOT!!)today my parents decided to go temple since we havent gone for months (last time was since chinese new year) and my dad said something about it being the 1st of august (chinese calendar)and full moon and eating vegetarian food only today (aka thang 7 rum phai an do chai) We first started our journey to the temple located at tottenham (chua quan duc) which was closed due to under construction not to mention it was extremely deserted (probably the monks abandoned the place and moved across the street from my house)

We headed onto our next destination which is the temple right next to braybrook college (chua quang minh). we went in only to find that inside the temple (but the temple grounds were extremely crowded) was pretty much deserted also and noone was praying but they wee waiting for something to start so my family decided to eat first. since we were in the temple the only food that was on the menu was vegetarian food. what we had was chui nuong(grilled banana wrappd in broken rice), banh bo(vietnamese stream cake) and bun rieu(some asian noodle soup that has meat). now youre probably thinking "ITS SUPPOSE TO VEGETARIAN DUDE!!", well it was and it was pretty good since the soup was made of probably pure msg and tofu. XD

afterwards i went over to my friends house to study chemistry cause i am currently dying in it (i have a failed teacher) and it was good but then we both ended up bludging for like a good hour and then got back to work. i was also craving for some seafood and some dumplings but MUST RESIST THE MEAT FOR 24 HOURS TO PURIFY THE SOUL so i pretty much starved myself till i got home. my dad picked me up at like 7:30 and this is the convo i had between me and my dad in the car on the way home(translation to english):
me: dad whats for dinner?
dad: fried pork ribs
me: fried pork ribs?
dad: yup
me: so there isnt any vegetarian food at home?
dad: nope
me: how come?
dad: mum didnt want to cook any
complete silence for 1 minute
me: so theres fried pork ribs at home??
dad: yep
me: HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO EAT VEGETARIAN WHEN THERES NO FOOD?!?!
dad: starve to death
me: =.='' so theres just fried pork ribs??
dad: yup
me: any soup?
dad: just pork and egg stew with bamboo to go with it if you call that soup ( thit kho w/ mang)
me: dad isnt it suppose to be vegetarian today since its the 1st of august and its a fullmoon (in my mind THE MOON IS A FREAKEN CRESENT)
dad: no it isnt *starts to smile*
me: OMG DAD ARE YOU TELLING ME I RESISTED MEAT FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAY!!!?!?!
dad: yup
me: OMG HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!?!?
dad: think of this as dieting and it saves me lots of money not feeding you meat
me: youre an evil person dad. EVIL!!!!!!
dad: *just drives and continues to smile*

i have a very cynical father. anyway as soon as i got home i at 1 bowl of rice with pork ribs and pork and egg stew with bamboo and ate 2 packets of mi goreng with prawns and crab meat ( was a stupid idea eating 2 packets cause now im extremely bloated). well i better end it here and start my bio notes or my bio teacher is gonna chop my ass

how to make noob kimchi hot pot

as my first blog told you i had kimchi hot pot. but what it didnt say was that me and my sister attempted to make it and comparing to the actual method and our method of making it.... was a fail but overall was still pretty good since we both didnt know how to make it and didnt consider using the internet as resource.
(i will post pictures as soon as i know how to XD)
how to make kimchi hot pot the noob way

ingredients
water (half a pot full)
pork belly(in this case pork ribs since it was 8 something at night and no normal butcher would be open)
sugar
salt
msg
chilli pepper
instant kimchi

method:
1. prepare a pot of water and wait till boil. chop up pork into a shape of desire (in this case cubes)
2. when water is boiled, add pork and wait until cooked.
3. then add kimchi and stir occassionally
4. add in sugar, salt and msg and seasoned to desire.
5. once seasoned, pour into a bowl and enjoy.

and here is the actual method of making kimchi hot pot (courtesy of http://dolsotbibimbap.com/kimchi-hot-pot/)

Serves 4
ingredients
4 pork ribs (about 1 lb/500 g total)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons garlic paste
1 1/2 cup (300 g) ready-made Chinese cabbage (Napa) kimchi, cut into 2 in. (5 cm) pieces2
1/2 cups beef or vegetable stock or water
1 block (450 g) firm tofu, cut into 8 pieces1 green onion (scallion), cut into 2 in. (5 cm) pieces

method:
With a sharp knife, make several cuts along the meaty side of the ribs.In a large pot, add the sesame oil and place over low heat.Add the ribs, garlic and kimchi and stir-fry for 10 minutes.Add the stock and tofu and simmer for 20 minutes.Sprinkle on the green onion.Serve in large soup bowls.

the reviews that were received in the noob hot pot were:
dad: was alright
mum: stared at it and never ate it
sister 1(pikaboo): its not sour enough
sister 2:(miyu): we stuffed up
sister 1's bf: it needs more meat
me: it was good enough for me XD

we never try to make it the actual way cause we had to finish the failed batch first so i cant really write a my families review on it but it came off a proper korean website so it has to be good. well enjoy ^^"

2:33

i probably should of started blogging like a month ago cause there were soo much stuff happening during that time but it kinda died now but then again it is the weekend... but anyway, now youre wondering why i am blogging at 2:33 AM IN THE FREAKEN MORNING!! simply its because i cant sleep and as my title name says, i am a bored asian girl.

anywhoo lets see what i have to say about today. i started my 40 hour famine yesterday at 9pm (even though it was suppose to be 8pm XD) and it was sort of a fail for i decided to give up furniture (food and electronics are too precious to me to give for its like a pregnant woman craving for icecream at like 3 in the morning or something like that....) and the entire day i kept on sitting on the bed or somehow my ass decides to fall on some furniture... in conclusion my butt was not on the floor. but so far im doing pretty well... pretty depressing at night when everyones in their warm comfortable cozy little bed whilst im on the floor nearly freezing to death (note that I HAVE 2 BLANKETS, THE HAIRDRYER AND THE HEATER ALL KEEPING ME WARM), and even though i have like 2 bedsheets, and a thick blanket as cushion, i am woken up with a sore back, aching arms, and a paralyzed butt. i was suppose to give up on food aswell (well atleast try)but that failed in less than 30 minutes cause i ended up eating kimchi hot pot and stir fried noodles as soon as the famine started (yes i am very asian).

well that is probably all i can say right now cause i cant think of anything exciting that happened to me at the moment (cause nothing did today) so im gonna end it here.
