www.blackle.com

Here's the thing... we all use Google search, yes? Well... that's fair... considering Google search is so simple to use and all. But did you know that opening a website that has white-based background color consumes alot of energy????

Anyway, the point I'm getting to is... I've been sent a website of a search engine utilizing the same platform as the one used for Google search, it's called blackle.com. It's basically Google, with a black background.

Mind you, I'm not the most environmentally friendly person in the world, but blackle.com is cool, nuf said. :D

Intelligent Drive

After my tiny thumb drive gave up on its life, I have been relying on the external HDD to carry my uni work around for presentations. Which is useless, considering my external HDD is much more advance than the computers at uni.. meaning... the computer can't even read the contents -_-

So... I went out and got a new thumb drive... and it's soooo cute!!! It's even smaller than the original one that I had.
I went online to the manufacturer's website to look at their other products, and then I found out that my thumb drive is no ordinary thumb drive... it's an INTELLIGENT DRIVE!!! O_O

Tiny and intelligent... hmmm... sounds like me, no?? HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

come have PANCAKES with me~

It's been a while since I have NORMAL breakfast. At the time when I was still working (in Thailand, of course), my breakfast either consist of rice+omelet (ข้าวไข่เจียว) or sticky rice+grilled pork skewer (ข้าวเหนียวหมูปิ้ง).
ps. I'm only typing the names in Thai because I've become nostalgia all of a sudden

I was excited to finally have a normal breakfast (but then again, does having it at 11 smth counts as 'breakfast'? oh what the hell...it's breakfast food at least). What I'm talking about is PANCAKES.

When I told my friends in Aussieland that I was coming for vacation in November, they told me wherever I go, DO NOT forget to try Pancakes on the Rocks. But sadly enough, I didn't get to try it before my vacation ended. Now that I am here again, I figured it's time! So.... 5 months after I landed and walked pass the pancake shop about 151 times, I finally stepped in to try the pancake everyone was talking about.

"Regular Pancake Stack"

"Strawberry Patch"

You know what happened after the first bite??? I was spellbound~ I don't know what took over me - and I blame it on the luscious strawberries that came with the 'Strawberry Patch' pancakes - all of a sudden, the corners of my mouth starts to move by itself.. and I was left with a huge smile plastered on my tiny face O_O No matter what I tried, the smile was stuck there... until the last strawberry was consumed~ The buttermilk pancakes were thick and soft, and there were plenty of fresh strawberries~ YUMMMMMM~

Next time, I'm ordering 'Devils Delight' - chocolate pancake - YUMMMMMM *SMILES*

Coffee, Tea or Babycino?

Before I came to Sydney, I didn't realize that McDonald's also has a cafe. So when I saw McCafe in Aussieland I was excited. HEY! don't judge me! I'm only human. I get excited at things like that...>.<

Anyway, so .. McCafe... First, something about me and cafes. I like cafes, I like being there and relaxing, watching the world go by. I like the smell of coffee, but I can't drink too much coffee cuz it gives me headaches. I'm more of a tea person. But on that faithful day that I happen to plonk myself on a stool at McCafe near university, I was not in the mood for tea (or coffee). I would be happy just to sit there basking in the warmth of a heater, but that was not to be, my friends wouldn't let that happen. After much protest, they purchased a babycino for me. AHA! I know you're wondering 'what the hell's a babycino??'. Let me en light you...

A 'babycino' is a fancy name for 'hot milk' -_-'... that's it. It's basically hot milk with froth and sprinkle of chocolate. If you're starting to wonder why such fanciness for something so simple.. it's because it's a scam!!!! It's a way for parents to spoiled their little brats. The cup is small AND it's not cheap. The price is probably marked up by 200% just because it's in a branded cup.

My oh my~ what is the world turning to when a caffeine induced venue starts to target the young ones?

Peel An Orange

I am dying~ *.*

The end of the semester is approaching and now I'm overloaded with work. I am stressed, and confused, and getting sick, AND the 'g' button on my computer is going bonkerz and doesn't show up when i press it half the time. *sniff*sniff*

Anyway, I was talking to Janie a few days (or was it weeks?..anyway,) ago about stress. And I came up with a "solution" to temporarily reduce stress... that is... to peel an orange. Why? Because when you're peeling an orange, you're concentrating on taking off the skin and the fiber thingies and so your mind is not on what you were stressing about. AND the scent of the orange will relax your senses. AND your body will benefit from the vitamin C when you eat the orange. Isn't that smart??? hahaha

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go peel a dozen oranges~

Jeabberz On Ice

Last monday (June 11, 2007) was a public holiday here in Aussieland. So instead of being stuck in my tiny space, I went ice skating!!!! YEAH YEAH!! I LOVE ICE SKATING. I'm not the best at it, I mean I can't even go forward properly (although I find it easier to backwards -_-), but I love it. I just love being on the ice.

FYI, I used to take ice skating lessons while I was living in Hong Kong. But sadly, I had to end the lessons after a few months. It was the time when I had to return to Thailand. If I didn't have to stop taking the classes, I'll be in competitions by now... HAHAH... ok.. that's a lie ~

ps. it took me 3 days to write the above two tiny paragraphs... where's my creative juice???
