Winter and Spring

Tuesday, 19 February 2008

Hello people!

Just when I wanted to post an entry about Spring is here, flowers blooming, birds chirping, green leaves...

Yea Look at that clear blue sky.. The sky's been clear for a few days liow
Beautiful sunset.

When, as if to prove me wrong, the weather suddenly changed. -8C in the middle of the night. Today morning, I was greeted with frost and mist when I woke up. The next few days are gonna be quite cold too, if the weather forecast is correct. Mind you, all the whiteness in the pictures below are frost, not snow!

Wah.. such poor visibility

Frost frost frost.

I like this picture. All the branches are covered with frost, making them whitish. (well.. if you look closely)

Anyways, today marked the first time I destroyed someone's pot T__T. I was cooking some congee and I left the fire on too long (I was making a call mar.. I thought very fast one.. lol)

The whole pot became black. The rice was burnt black lol. Well.. now I'm just soaking it in hot water.. hopefully it will come off in a few days (according to shifu james). Erm.. I still haven't found out to whom the pot belong too. Probably Tad Song.. lol!

Well what other random stuff.. oh yea... I suddenly had an inspiration to cook beef (or any meat, for the matter) with vinegar! I saw one big unused bottle.. lol... vinegar with raw fish? Ohh I cooked beef noodles again... quite nice, but still similiar to the one I cooked last time (although I tweaked the recipe a bit). Hmm.. I am wondering how do they cook the kind of beef noodles where they use thin slices of beef... I can't imagine how they make the soup. The kind of dark brownish soup... well.. I can't really describe the taste here.. lol!

Anyways, gotta go now.

Long overdue update

Tuesday, 5 February 2008

Hello people.. I know.. this update is way overdue. Well.. I was busy.. entertaining myself. A few days of life without worries and concern is a sure panacea for the tired mind and exhausted spirit.


There are, fortunately, a few events to blog about so the posts won't be that boring. I shall split them into a few posts; past experience with blogspot has taught me not to try to post too many pictures in one post, for a simple error could render all my efforts wasted.


Alright, I shall not be so draggy and go straight to the point. First thing first, snow!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, there was a heavy snowfall on.. Saturday I think. Well it was quite fortunate for me because I went to Yee Huai's place to get my Final Fantasy VIII cd (yes I was at the end of disc three when I remembered that the rest of the discs are with her). When I went there, the sky was clear. At here place, I tarried a while, and soon it started snowing heavily. When I left her place, I think there was already 2-3 inches of snow. I tried taking a few pictures, but unfortunately, I suck at taking photos at night with camera phone. My camera battery just died, and I was in the process of charging new ones.



So, please don't blame me for the poor picture quality. My neighbours threw a few snowball at my windown in an attempt to goad me into a snowfight, but I was too tired and the rest of my housemates seemed uninterested so I just ignored them ^^.

Well, I should have woke up early to take more pictures when there's sunlight. It's a very nice feeling, waking up to find the whole city covered in white. It's like a magical transformation. Besides, since the snow melts rather quickly and it seldom snows here, the whole experience is very exciting (at least to me.. ^^)


Well, I guess you've had enough of the stories, so here are the photos:

The other posts will come later, so please bear with me =)

First snow!

Friday, 4 January 2008

It's the first time snowing this year! I feel like it's snowing later and later... GLOBAL WARMING!

Nah.. Anyways, here are the pictures of the first snow this winter, in January. However, it's only very light snow, very small biji. T__T

View from my room
In front of house
Wahhh
WAAAAAA

Ok that is all. This Monday I gotta go Beighton again, to try use the Spectrometer. After that, I think I will do a little more work concerning my final year project, and then just concentrate on studies. YEOSH!

Tonight must try to finish reading tribology.

No Title

Sunday, 16 December 2007

Woohooo people!

It's been a while since my last update... here are some random pictures (again) which I took just to .. well.. post here. Seriously, nothing much. Oh, I wanted to take picture of the frost on cars but I kept forgetting. Taking pictures isn't exactly what you'll be thinking off when it's -2 C and sleepy. But, I'll try on Monday when I meet my supervisor.

Anyways, the holidays are here. Kinda. After the meeting with supervisor on monday and 2 more classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, there's nothing else till examinations. TIME TO REVISE!!!! YEOSH! I'm gonna just stay at home (or the libraries) this winter and study my brains out. I feel kinda excited about that already.

Anyways, here are the poorly taken pictures:

Ferris wheel in the city centre
Something.... something.. in city center... merry-go-round..
ugh.. blurred christmas tree

Light pollution. The sky was otherwise pitch black.

I am already starting to feel hungry, so I'd better go to bed soon.
