Tuesday Things #9

1. I need to dust off my blog regularly as it seems to pile on dust. And this Tuesday Things, I remembered that it should be a weekly routine, isn't it?

2. I'm kinda worried about my final year project as I'm about to enter my week 6 already. Thermal and TRNSYS, I must get you guys done quickly!

3. Husband's new playground. For the time being I reckon?

4. Fitzroy + Collingwood have been blessed with new and exciting eateries like Jimmy Grants, N2 Extreme Gelato, St Crispin' and etc! Go Fitzroy/Collingwood!

5. Our new baby at home. Records and turntable, okaylah before we wanna get the all new Rega turntable.

 

 

Tuesday Things #8

1. Nowadays you can see me either in library or coffee place, surfing and doing research for heaps of things in life.

2. After the previous desserts overload thingy, I've not yet bake anything. But who knows, tonight or tomorrow morning perhaps? Hahaha.

3. Cracking my knuckles up to start planning a good framework for my final year project. I need to nail this one up.

4. Husband's gonna embark on a new journey in his life. Wishing him the best of luck!

5. I think my acupuncturist is damn right. I can feel that my Qi is in balance. Gotta reduce spice and dairy in my diet.

Tuesday Things #7

1. I know it's a bit weird to say this, but I'm all geared up for my next semester. I'm feeling inspired to write my final project thesis! Haha. Hope my enthusiasm will last until the very last day of my next semester. 

2. I didn't sew anything this semester break. Sigh. 

3. I got a bucket list of things to cook and bake, as usual. And now, not to have to rely on natural lighting is fantastic! Cheers husband for 'belanja' me the light tent. Hahaha. 

4. I'm converting myself from "quick and toss" to "gourmet". Will talk about it very soon. Stoked!

5. I got my last semester results already. Alhamdulillah! Hope Allah shall ease my study for upcoming semester.

6. I love cooking with husband but I'm annoyed with his time management. Hahaha. Anyway husband suddenly wanted to make these last Monday, roast beef with veges and homemade Harissa sauce; fresh salad with fennel, coriander, mint, pomegranate and toasted pine nuts in it dressed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice; spinach, tuna and ricotta cannelloni; and mini meringue with orange sauce, orange curd, pomegranate and toasted almond. Love!

If you need the recipe to any of these, let me know and I shall blog about it very soon. Cheers and happy upcoming weekends guys! :)

Tuesday Things #5

1. I'm kinda bumming around nowadays, and I can feel the unproductive vibe coming around me already. Hahaha. Probably because husband's not around and I try not to cook some "fattening" food at home. Life change, you know. :P

2. We went to Krimper Cafe, few days ago. It's a really nice place, with good food and coffee. Friendly staffs too. Will definitely come again. Oh btw, we had snapper in browned butter and wagyu beef burger. Loving it!

3. Not sure about you guys, but I just discovered that we can literally "fry" the papadum in microwave on high for 50 to 60 seconds and voila! You got the quickest, time saving, clean kitchen, healthier version of papadum at home.

4. I made chicken satay banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and I'm proud to say that I pretty much nailed it. And for obvious reason, mine's definitely the healthiest! Anyway I got days of marinated chicken satay, extra spicy peanut sauce, fresh mixed salad (baby spinach, carrot, onion and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar of crispness) and heaps of freshly cracked black pepper. BRILLIANT!

Have a good Friday and then the weekends guys! ;)

Tuesday Things #4

1. Work loads are getting reduced day by day. Awesome! It's like seeing bright light at the end of the tunnel.

2. I can only digest Of Monsters and Men, Of Monsters and Men, Of Monsters and Men, The Jungle Giants, Of Monsters and Men, The Jungle Giants, The Jungle Giants and that's it.

3. Had a fantastic weekend with husband. We woke up early, off to Richmond for Top Paddock before headed to Docklands to see the Webb Bridge.

Webb Bridge, Docklands

4. We went on a road trip last Monday, a day before my final test! Sigh...But it's alright I guess. Haha. Had so much fun driving around regional Victoria but I must say, city of Melbourne is where our hearts belong to.

London Bridge Lookout, Mornington Peninsula

Searoad Ferries between Sorrento - Queenscliff

The Sorrento Ocean Beach (back)

And oh, we managed to fuckin' saw a whale! Best experience ever! :)

Tuesday Things #3

1. I skipped two Tuesday Things already. I know, my bad! I need to set my priority straight right now. InsyaAllah, hope my next goal to be Via, Veritas, Vita!

2. My weekdays and weekends are purely for this. HOMER. And no, it's not Homer Simpson. 

3. Done with my two presentations. One more to go. And four reports to submit very soon. Bummer.

4. All craft making, cooking, baking activities need to be paused at the moment. At least until 17th June.

5. I miss me dad, so very much. Period.

6. Went to Babka Bakery in Brunswick last Sunday. Love their freshly baked and toasted croissant with cheese and mushroom. 

Tuesday Things #2

1. It's officially autumn in Melbourne! So we woke up early, bought our favorite toasted croissant sandwich and cycled to Carlton Gardens. Had a picnic there and shoot some photos before Husband's off to work and I'm off to RMIT to study. What a good life! Blessed.

2. Last Saturday Fabulous Floral joined Blackbird Market and made its debut appearance. All I can say, it was a really a good experience for me and I met lotsa good and talented people. Must join again for upcoming market I reckon?

3. Looking good huh? Making my second post for Tuesday Things. Haha. 

Tuesday Things

They say everything needs a system, so I guess the same rule applies to blogging as well.  So here I am inspired by few of my favourite bloggers, I'm planning to blog a post. And I'm gonna call it 'Tuesday Things'. So here goes the list:

1. My bookbinding class was super fun. All of my students were awesome! Including the Laneway Learning gang. More photos to come.

2. Watched Norma Jean last Sunday. Front row as usual. Crazzzyyy! And what's with being too 'polite' Aussie kids? ;)

3. Democracy in Malaysia is officially dead. Sad but true. :(

4. I'm currently busy sewing (my ass-off) preparing goodies for upcoming Blackbird Market in Fitzroy!

5. I cooked confit chicken with Chinese stir-fried vegetables and couscous yesterday. Simply stunning! But I wasted almost a bottle of extra virgin of olive oil for this. Oh wait, food is cheap here!

6. I got melancholic thinking about Malaysia. And I've been listening to Butterfingers a-lot! Because we've just found out that JB HiFi NOW has Butterfingers almost-full album in their collection. Haha.

7. I talked in front of youngsters just now about CHANGE. Refreshing! And I met more wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Malaysians. Thank you Samantha (from SBS) and the other two ladies from JOM Magazine for quoting my words and thoughts.

8. And I have to start doing my projects, as in my study. Bugger!
