Yi Ning Korean Restaurant

Recently I had time to have dinner with friends at Yi Ning Korean Restaurant. The place is a little isolated; from outside it looks rather drab and possibly even looks scary at night. Rest assured, this place has been one of my family's favourites since at least 5 years ago! I am still not sure why they are still not getting the attention they deserve to be getting. The food is reasonably priced and come in such a large portion. Their set meal for 2 can definitely feed 3 to 4 petite Asian mouths.

We ordered the set menu which consisted of Black Bean Noodle and Chilli Chicken for $38. Both were fantastic! We also ordered the spicy seafood soup (not pictured) and it was really good as well! The soup was filled with many seafood goodies like octopus, squid as well as some mussel clamps too. While I was there I heard a couple of Korean people thanking the chef by complimenting how delicious the food were. I'm not Korean but I'm pretty sure that 'mah-shi-da'(?) means delicious. There's some solid reason why you should definitely give this restaurant a visit! Also check out a review by the local paper here.

P.S. They have an underfloor heating mat which is just great in winter!

Pho Nam Vietnamese Noodle House Restaurant

There is a new Vietnamese Restaurant that just opened not long ago in my area. About two weeks ago, I visited the place and ordered broken rice with pork chop accompanied with Vietnamese white coffee. This is the first place I've been to where this whole dish had been put together so neatly! Taste wise it was fine but obviously cannot rival my favourite one in Cabramatta. My parents had their Pho for merely around $8! Not too bad of a deal for Vietnamese food around my place. Taste wise it was tolerable. Would I go back for a quick Vietnamese food crave? Yes of course.

Photoshop Issue

So after how ever many assignments I have done throughout this semester, I came to realisation that I'd rather write essays everyday than to do anything on photoshop! I just hate that annoying program, I hate how I'm so not good at it. It just hinders my work, my design, my vision!

Essays on the other hand, are just something I've missed doing so much after leaving high school. I also miss doing my Maths, Japanese, Ancient History and English homework! I feel that I've gone really dumb. I mean, I probably don't even remember how to do calculus anymore. What about chemistry? Nope. All gone too. In many ways, I feel that this course is not furthering my knowledge in anything just yet. Everything seems to me to be so abstract and artsy. Nothing wrong with that, I just prefer something that needs a little bit more thinking.

So here's the question. Is this course right for me? Let me get back to that at the end of the year when applications for UNSW open again.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Tomorrow is the big day. This history assignment will be due for the hand in! Which is why I stayed until 9.30 at uni today.

I skipped dinner so I went to the vending machine to see what I could get. As I was looking for my coins, a lady said to me whilst putting her plate of food on a pile in the bin ,'those bikkies are still good, you can have them if you want.' Aww, how nice. I had such an urge to bring them upstairs back to the studio and just munch them away while I try to finish my models.

In the end, I stopped myself from doing so as soon as I picked it up from the bin and saw some insects flying around the other rubbish. I was not that desperate just yet.

This so reminds me of last year when my whole group were just starving and we retreated to scavenging leftover food from a gathering at the exhibition space. The bread was so dry, it was not pleasant but still satisfying to the stomach nonetheless. T'was a jolly good time. lol I do miss unsw!

Okay, I'll now go on to finish up this model before bed. Hopefully it'll be sometime before 2/3am :)
ciao! x

RUSH

Reading

Reading blogs just give me the urge to go out, travel and do something different for a change. I cannot stay at one place for too long! As soon as my last assignment was handed in, all I could think about was travel. Of course, looking for a travel companion is not an easy matter. Not having money, time and not getting their parents' consent are the most important issues of all. Me, on the other hand seems like I'm all set to go anytime. One: I will be on holidays in a week, two: I work and save all of my money towards something like this (i.e. travel & holiday), three: my parents will definitely let me go, I just need to somehow put it nicely to them. To be quite honest, I do not really understand the excuses of some about how their parents don't let them do this and that. I feel that if you really really wanted to do/go somewhere, if you had that 'tekad bulat' -in Indonesian, no matter what they say, if you know it's the best for you, you'd do it anyway. But perhaps, Im just being inconsiderate and ignorant of their situation? I don't know. Anyway, back to thinking about this dreaded history assignment due soon.

Happy Rainy Monday!

Intention

I never intended to make this blog a place to vent my anger but there has been some disappointment in the last couple of weeks. What can I do? Although I am so happy uni will soon end.. in a month D: it's okay, at least it's kind of soon. Then I'll be free to do whatever I want! I cannot wait to turn this blog around and post some quality material. That's if I can find any! Haha but I'm sure that if I have all the free time I will be able to do fun things again. Or not. Since I'll be busy working. I want money too! Now I'm torn in between.. Haha it's okay, earning money is fun for me. It makes it even more challenging when I'm juggling two jobs at once! Fun times ahead? More like even busier times ahead! Gotta keep moving :)

Happy Wednesday! x
