SUSHI DAY !!!

These sushi is made by Khai Yi, Davin, Kian Tat and me :)

Brief Introduction of Sushi !!!

Sushi (寿司, sushi) is made of vinegered rice combined with various toppings especially seafood.

Sushi rolled in nori(dried seaweeds) is called maki (rolls).
Sushi made with toppings laid onto hand-formed clumps of rice is called nigiri.
Sushi made with toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu is called inari.

Sushi originates from the practice of preserving fish by fermenting it in rice for months.The science behind the original form of fermenting fish and rice is that the vinegar produced by the fermenting rice breaks down the fish into amino acids.

The sushi we made today...seems to be

Maki-zushi
- Kappamaki (cucumber filling)

Interesting day ------ 5th May 2007

This day was a very very interesting day for me.. This is a part of email content which I sent to my friend?
I really learnt alot...

1. A lecturer teaching risk analysis. He is from Europe, said alot of stupid things but very realistic. He teaches us alot of strategies in dealing wif ppl, oso he talk about last time he don't understand why business people like to play golf. But don't know since when he started to understand already. He don't talk like a lecturer, say wat bloody ball,bullshit, all sorts of words...ahhah then he ask us, do u noe why I quit working in Europe and come to Australia?ahhaha, he said cos he too tired of bribing people there with suitcase of $, in Australia , only need bring those people to eat,and maybe 'enjoy life' with them nia... -_-"

2. Went to buddhist library, found that, people there work in professional way, even students....one person can do all sorts of things in 3 or 4 departments. They kind of know what is happening in each dept. de, and they dun mind doing extra work...so 'geng' liao...

3. Went to a talk on how to be PR, haih....embarrassing ....I asked a question, then the speaker asked me back, "what are u studying"... He repeated 4 times, unfortunately I still heard 'WHERE ARE U STAYING?'....damn I answered him randwick...all the people with different nationalities in the entire hall LAUGH at me....Maybe i not used to the slang or dunno i thinkng wat...haih, "whet are u stadying = what are studying".....@_@ Its actually good also, with me the talk turned less boring :)

4. Went out wif James my cousin, he is very nice guy....brought me to eat Japanese food, here Japanese food, Korean food, Thai food, and all very nice :) There are so many people in the restaurant...the we have to queue for a seat outside the restaurant...saw 1 couple....saw the guy hug the gal..SO LOVING....Out of a sudden, another girl came by and hit the guy, she scold him in cantonese, "leave wife leave daughter"---> obviously this is a direct translation from Cantonese :).... Then the couple went away, not far.....obviously the guy was scolded by the girl, and the girl sure think the guy cheat her...I feel quite curious, because....the girl who came by to hit the guy is actually much more pretty that the girl that the guy was hugging.....

5. Then we eat, so NICE got Cream Burlee ( a type of French dessert ) its green tea flavour. The bowl containing the dessert was half cold and half hot...and the sugar on top was just cripsy...wah, damn nice man....so nice...its a dessert...eat sashimi, eat....japanese fried.....nice...

6. Then we went out to take car....manatau, when reach saw whole car in a mess man....., the car kena broken into....wah, the thief here so SMART...the car is locked ...then James said , its spiritual war fare...he is a Christian..

7. We went to Mrs. Mcquairie's Chair.......very nice place nice..overlooking sydney Opera house de....then we talk alot about religion....I learnt alot oso...

That can be considered a most interesting day since I came here....

Rainbow of Life

Hargraves stayed the first night right where the rainbow points, just 400 metres from the stables..... he really did find gold at the end of the rainbow!

What can you find at the end of a RAINBOW?

Different people have different answers because different people have different dreams in life. A person who wants a loving family would wished to find a loving family at the end of a rainbow, a pair of couple who have alot of obstacles to overcome in order to be together would wish to find themselves being together with a complete family at the end of a rainbow.I want a small cottage, with big compound, with a swimming pool.....at the end of a rainbow. :) Would you find what you really want at the end of the rainbow one day, just like Hargraves who dream of gold and riches and finally he found it there... ???

Sydney Earth Hour

Sydney Earth Hour ... what an interesting name for me....
cos according to the newspaper in Malaysia and other countries...It seems that during that particular hour which is 31st March 2007, the whole Sydney for the first time observe the Earth hour. It means, ideally, whole Sydney would be very dark during Earth Hour.

Me and Frens so interested....
so, we decided to take bus to somewhere overlooking Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge...The streets were so crowded with people busy walking here and there rushing to be at some Earth Hour concert on time...buses are full and everyone was so excited...whatever reason they are excited for...

Finally we reach somewhere in Circular Quay...
Happily sitting on a bench overlooking the sea and the Opera House...
waiting for our target to turn dark all of a sudden...
In Australia, the two most significant ' light provider' , I think should be Sydney Harbour
Bridge and Sydney Opera House ...

let me show you a picture of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge which is still bright...and another one which is partly dark...or you may say partly bright...
Just cannot understand why they leave it partly bright...











Usual Opera house During Earth hour

6/4/07

Actually the street is still very bright, we were very disappointed....
maybe the high rise building would be quite interesting to look at...because
some portion are bright and some are not...
:)
















After that, nothing much to do....we went China town at George Street..
initially heard from friends that there is a mamak stall there....
here....till now, we cant detect even 1 mamak stall...too used to mamak back in
UTP...think mamak can really be a tourist attraction...hahhaha...
I miss roti pisang and carrot susu...
plus mee goreng...
yea, back to the topic, we cant find that mamak stall ... :)
