Day 17 – A picture of your mp3 player
My MP3 player is… see through!
just joking. It’s actually my phone iphone 3GS (again), yeh technology these days; one thing is everything.
Yeah, I gave it an extra purpose as a mirror (for emergencies.. hah) which my boyfriend absolutely hates.

Day 16 – A picture of your dream cell phone
Yes, that’s right, I’ve got my dream phone…. Iphone 3GS in White (although I wouldn’t mind the Iphone 4 if it wasn’t for all those problems)… but it’s not quite my dream phone because…
It doesn’t meet my expectations! I need a phone to last atleast 18hrs in a day, without me having to turn down the brightness to the dimmest level. I’d drain my battery life easily within 4 hours! 
Please Apple, improve the battery life.
That is all.

Day 15 – A picture of yourself

You should know by now that I have a red obsession 
I need a new iphone case! One that won’t crack! i.e. non plastic
Currently eyeing Kate Spade Iphone Cover;
Only thing that’s stopping me is, the fact that its silicone.. thick.. and bulky But I’m loving the aqua + stripes!!
$45 from Apple store
Cost of a branded Iphone cover *dies* Clarzzy is broke *dies again*

Day 14 – A picture of your favorite teacher(s)
Year 12 was the most memorable highschool year, despite the struggle to get through the HSC, we had fun. Alot of my year 12 are my favourites too, but I’ve decided to feature, Mr. C, our Physics teacher.
This is our Yr 12 Physics class, very small group of…. Asians ( after our excursion to Prince of Wales Hospital), better yet we happen to be in the same friendship class, so we’re closely knit.
Physics is a hard subject, but Mr C manages to make every lesson fun. We were the first class in the school to have the Smart Board to use, which did make learning alot easier. I remember how fascinated Mr C was with it as well. All the games we played to assist in our learning.
I miss highschool not the HSC part but the friendship ~

Day 13 – A picture of your friends
What’s better than an Asian styled hot pot in winter?
Hot Pot @ Lum’s!
Gathered my friends at my place for hot pot tonight (great timing!)
It was yummy, and never felt so guilty afterwards!
We ended up on the couch with a bowl of sorbet watching Modern Family.
It was a great catch up boys & girls!

Day 12 – A picture of your favorite food
Yet again, another difficult photo for today. For someone who loves eating out half the week, its rather difficult to decide.
So I’ll choose; noodles. I love noodles!
Ichiran ramen & special boiled egg, Ueno;Tokyo, Japan
Very general I know, but if I was to be specific, I’d love a good bowl of Tonkatsu ramen, with a lovely thick flavoured pork broth.
Ever since Japan, I’ve fallen in love with ramen there…Ichiran the best! Since coming back I have been searching long and hard for something similar here. Sadly, it really can’t compare, only ‘close to’ it.
I really hope I’ll get to go back to Japan soon

Day 11 – A picture of your favorite drink
Do you recognize what drink this is? despite my dodgy-iphone-enhanced shot?
Indeed, it is a cup of Che 3 Mau (Che Ba Mau), a Vietnamese drink that consists of three coloured ‘che’; brown beans, yellow mung beans, green jelly and is served with coconut milk and ice.
It was difficult to decide what is my favourite drink, I asked the bf, “What is my favourite drink?”, he replied, “I don’t know…” (shocked) “… it depends on the weather and your mood”. True.
I do enjoy the occasional bubble tea from Easy Way; green tea for warmer temperatures, milk tea for cooler temperatures… but Easy Way I guess has become a little pedestrian now since it’s so accessible, so I chose Che 3 Mau instead.. though there are many other drinks I enjoy but don’t have a shot in hand, without having to visit a place for it.
Che 3 Mau, is usually the drink that I order to accompany my Pho (or -insert Vietnamese dish-), cos I guess you can only get it at Vietnamese places and a handful of Chinese places (though I think it is slightly different). It would be a great drink to have on-t he-go especially in hot weather, I find it extremely ‘cooling’, exactly what it’s meant to do!
Hope you have all had a pleasant weekend!
Last week of Uni holidays

Day 10 – A picture of what you like to do
and a New online project!….
Strawberry & cream cheese friands; from the other day (these are pre-oven shots!)
i like to bake.
I have recently rediscovered my interest for baking these holidays. I’m not very good at it, but I do hope to improve after more practice. So far I haven’t gotten disgusted faces from the family yet so that is a good sign.
I want to do food photography, in the comfort of my own home. If no one else offers me dishes to shoot, I will make them myself 
it’s a good initiative to improve my cooking/baking skills, oui?
On the note of cooking/baking; I would like to introduce to you a new online project of mine…
an online food journal; for my food photography & where i gather and share my thoughts on my culinary journey.
from dining experiences to my take on recipes.
i’m no pro, so don’t judge so harshly
stay tuned of whats yet to come.
