settling down in Brisbane

Now that I’ve been here a while and got most of the problems sorted out, I’ve found time to enjoy ! Here are some pictures of the recent adventures :

Alien balloon and me.
During orientation, we were required to write on a balloon what problems we were facing. My problem was alienation. I will blog about this in the next post.

Yes, funny how one enjoys cooking after refusing to even be anywhere near a chopping board for 20-or-so-odd-years.

Yes , you have problem with humpty , chou chou ?? :P

[pk]
The skies here are always blue, and the sun is very bright. They don’t call Queensland the sunshine state for nothing :P

I didn’t know you’re the blur type . haha

[nicole]
He’s very tall , can cook , handsome and friendly. You want me to introduce ? haha

[su yin]
you’re right ! and you were right about cooking too, it’s easier than I expected. I’m going to try harder stuff from now on ^_^

[cazzy]
Yes he is . oh, humpty says hi !

[evie]
Humpty doesn’t say hi to you :P

[angelo]
I’ll take more then !

[ray]
I was thinking this new phone’s camera (k610) not as nice as my old one (w810). But that compliment coming from you is ver welcome indeed !

as for the tips:

1) ask if you have concession for bus/tram fare. Not sure about Sydney though.
2) hungry jacks is cheap and filling if you don’t wanna cook. cause Sydney is the most expensive place to eat/live ^_^
3) Ask strangers for directions, but beware of Bogans and drunks. You’ll know how Bogans look like by their bad teeth and bad clothing. Drunks are just loud.
4) bring jacket/long sleeve. It’s winter now
5) lip balm too, cause it’s very dry.

That’s all I can think of now . Good luck !

[farah]
That statement does sound a little emo :(
I wish you were here too ….

[chea yee]
yess indeeeeed. Oh yeah , i had fun in the trip too ^_^

[stephanie]
I try explain the alienation soon .. hehe.

u better come end of the year !!

 
cheayee said:

oh for concession, apply for the Tertiary Transport Concession card. good when you want to travel out of town from Brisbane within QLD and that green International Student ID card thingy. (whtever taht is…but apparently it is free if you apply for a bank acct with NAB ).

Today: penne drizzled with basil, chopped sundried tomatoes and bacon. Heart attack supreme but oh-so-yummy and easy.

Tip: powder your chicken/beef/pork pieces with cornflour before stir-frying for maximum tenderness

 
mochii said:

LOL no no .. no problem with that, enjoy sleeping with Humpty ya :D

 
Ray said:

thanks for the tips jason :D

whats QLD and NAB

 
jasonphoon said:

[chea yee]
He’s in Sydney la ! haha

[su yin]
are you going to leave recipes on my comments from now on ? hehehe . I’ll try that

[mochii]
.. and don’t forget patrick ! haahah

[ray]
QLD is Queensland. Which is the state where Brisbane is in. Not relevant to you unless you wanna visit me ^_^

NAB is a bank in Australia. DOno what it stands for ..
