Get him to the greek!

GET HIM TO THE GREEK!

Get Him to the Greek; It's one of those movies that you see the trailer and think to yourself "that looks hilarious, but is it really going to be funny the whole way through?" Well the answer to this question is yes. Jonah Hill who plays Aaron Green and Russell Brand who plays Aldous Snow, a character from the popular "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", Work incredibly well together in this film, basically it follows a timeline from when Aaron is delegated a task from his boss Sergio played by P.Diddy, at the Pinnacle Record Company.

Aaron has this great Idea to get the Famous star Aldous to play a ten year anniversary Show at "The Greek."

The Idea Initially get's thrown out, then a month later, Sergio runs with the Idea enabling Aaron to go on this wild alcohol and drug fueled adventure eventually bringing Aldous Snow to "The Greek." I won't give too much away but this movie looks somewhat like it is lacking substance but it has some good morals laying in there somewhere. See if you can pick them up! It's not all sex, drugs and rock n' roll!

This movie is incredibly hilarious, it is filled with all sorts of humour that will please NEARLY every viewer!

In our cinema i'm sure everybody laughed their asses off!

I know I did. If it's not for you, you might enjoy something like sound of music...

I give it a 4.5/5 Stars...but im no movie critic.

If this movie was a meal I'd give it a 55/60.

Bogan Pride

2010-06-07T17:15:00.001+08:00

One thing that absolutely gets under my skin is Bogans, Australian Bogans. Australians that are self proclaimed "Aussie Patriots." What I don't like is this sick sense of patriotism that these people posses. Their ideas that Australia is for White people or Europeans. This idea is something so close-minded and something that just irks the heck out of me, It's like that small child on the bus that wont shut-up.

What actually gets me fired up is when I go for a nice leisurely drive or pop down to the shop to buy some milk, I am exposed to these stickers on peoples cars. The stickers usually found on the back of a commodore or somebodies oversized Nissan Patrol. We all know what stickers I'm talking about. Yes, you guessed it the: " F@#K OFF WE'RE FULL" stickers and the " LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT" stickers, when I see this they make my blood reach the same boiling point as if I was to see a swastika on the back of someone's car. As I do find the latter sticker a hilarious contradiction because these Bogans should really take their own advice and " leave it."

I just want to show you some photo's to get you all riled up and then continue reading:

Here is a picture of some bogan youth trash sporting the FOWF logo on their pasty white stomachs, during "Australia" Day.

Here is the said logo in all its shameful glory.

This is usually the sort of creature that would stick such things on their windows.

and this is their leader.

Enough of their ugly heads for now, by now you're probably asking yourself where is this post going apart from showing my utter disgust for these ignorant beings. I completely understand where they are coming from with their close-minded thoughts, actions and words but I don't support it at all. I think there is many reasons as to why these people behave in this way towards non-white immigrants. Some of which are;

- These people are scared that somebody of "inferior" race can do a better job than them or are willing to do a job at all.
(this one is for all the dole bludging racist bogans)

- That these people can bring change into the bogans already cruisy lifestyle.
(Yes, We don't want sunday trading now do we...)

-They fear that if too many or any non-whites come into the country it could be taken over.
(Oh because we don't want that to happen now do we.)

-These non-white immigrants could enter the country and form ghettos and gangs.
(Yes because white immigrants and citizens aren't doing a good enough job at it already.)

I could go on and on and on and on and on about why the Bogan thinks this is a bad idea, but I don't have all day.

One point that I've been dying to make is: That Australia is in fact not full, not by a long shot. The worlds total population is 6.8 billion as of May 2010, Australia takes up a mere 22 million of that. Australia's population density is also only 2.9 people per square kilometre. Australia also sits at rank 232 out of 239 for having the lowest population density in the world. You may argue that Australia is made up of desert, but hey isn't Las Vegas built on desert?

But something that bothers me AREN'T ALL AUSTRALIANS IMMIGRANTS?

I have a lot more to say on the matter and I know some of this doesn't make much sense but I felt like addressing the matter in part.

Leave your views below whatever they may be.

O'mama Kopitiam

2010-05-19T22:50:00.004+08:00

Today I went and tried out O'mama Kopitiam in Karawara. Today was the day it opened it's doors to customers. Previously here was "saraha cafe." O'mama is much like Malaysia's Old Town Kopitiam's.

I was really excited as this is the first kopitiam, to my knowledge, to be opened in Perth.

So the interior is like this, got the tables with the marble seats and the like.

A huge menu that is reasonably priced.

This is their breakfast menu, which is even more reasonably priced.

Kaya toast with a drink and 2 eggs will set you back $4.80!

2 Roti Canai, Curry and a drink will set you back a further $4.80!

or around that sort of price, might be cheaper.

but the breakfast price is decent, the thing I didn't like was the Roti Canai was just the frozen one, it wasn't made in-store. That was a slight disappointment but for the price, you can't really complain, can you?

The Roti Canai and Curry, they gave me knife and fork...I don't know why...

Kaya toast. I was also disappointed it wasn't the brown bread, but that really didn't matter.

The soft boiled eggs.

Nasi Lemak.

Milo.

There was a bit of drama surrounding my milo here, The waitress, bless her, it was her first shift and most probably her first order, Couldn't quite get her head around the fact that I wanted to order milo instead of tea but a few words with the boss and that was sorted out no problems. Just pay the difference which is 50c and you can have milo too~!

Now, the coffee debacle!~

The said waitress, bless her, Also couldn't differentiate between Coffee and Hainan Teh, I wasn't born and bread in Malaysia and neither was she, but I can tell the difference between Hainan Teh and Coffee, maybe she was just a bit confused/excited/flustered because it was her first shift and it was opening day but she tried telling us that the coffee and the tea was the same thing and I quote: "ah yes, the Coffee and the Hainan teh is the same thing, It looks like Coffee but it's really Tea." So then I tried them and they both tasted the same, then someone from our table kindly explained to the owner/manager what had happened here. Small problem but when you go into a Restaurant you expect the wait staff to be able to know the menu.

And here is some lovely photos they have on the wall, the place is very nicely decorated.

So Overall I would recommended the breakfast menu for a nice cheap breakfast.

Stupid Australian Laws

2010-05-09T14:45:00.002+08:00

Everybody, including Americans, say that America has the stupidest people in the world, This is in fact only partly true. I believe Australia, Including myself, makes up the other percentage. Here In Australia, the place where we eat both the animals pictured on our national emblem, we have some of the worlds most stupidest laws, the main reason Is because they were made a long time ago and we Aussies are pretty lazy so we don't bother changing them. So I've done some research and found some amusing laws that have or are most probably still in place today.

Children may not purchase cigarettes, but they may smoke them.

You may never leave your car keys in an unattended vehicle.

It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar.

Under Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, a modem can’t pick up on the first ring.

Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons.

The legal age for straight sex is 16, unless the person is in the care/custody of the older person, in which case it is 18.

You must have a neck to knee swimsuit in order to swim at Brighton Beach.

Lawmakers are proposing a new law that will not allow anyone to come closer than 100 meters from a dead whale’s carcass.

Life imprisonment (the most severe punishment in this country) cannot exceed 25 years.

A taxi driver can be penalized if he does not have an armload of hay in his vehicle.

There is a prohibition against travel opposite the direction of traffic (i.e.: walking on the right side instead of the left) on all roads, including on the rural pedestrian paths.

In the state of Victoria, for example, only licensed electricians can change a burned-out light bulb, even in private dwellings.

In the same state, it is forbidden to walk in pink trousers after noon on Sundays.

In Melbourne, a man can be penalized if he appears out on the street in a "dress without straps."

In Gold Coast it is illegal for a woman to wear a bikini which uses more the 6 square inch of material.

It is illegal to dress up as batman or robin.

It is illegal to force a kangaroo to drink more than 6 bottles of beer.

No man under 4ft 8 inch is alowed to surf on Klondike Beach (due to the size of the waves.)

In Queensland it is against the law to ask any person if their father was a criminal.

In Sydney it is against the law to throw a bag containing both cats and dogs into Parramatta River. But it is okay to throw a bag of cats or a bag of dogs.

Here a man can also be penalized if he appears out on the street in a "dress without straps." There are no limitations on other forms of female clothing for men.

And you can no longer sing the song ba ba black sheep as the world 'black' is racist.

Your car can be taken off you by the police if you are caught 'hooning' even if you aren't the one driving it.

Women with A-cup size breasts are not allowed to be in Pornographic Material as it depicts Child Pornography.

It is illegal to play any Musical Instrument on Public Transport.

You cannot enter a Shopping center after 7pm unless you show proof of age.

You cannot group more than 5 people at a time in public places.

Shops are not allowed to trade after 6pm unless in the city area.

It is illegal to read someone's tarot, or give them a psychic reading as these are forms of witchcraft.

Now like I said, I think some of these don't exist anymore but nonetheless they did at one stage~!

Does your Country have some Stupid Laws that just don't make any sense in this day and age?
If so, just drop a comment! I want to know!

Perth Nuffnang blogger meet up!

2010-05-08T22:19:00.000+08:00

I'd feel bad If I told you all to rock up at a place you hated so here are the choices of where to go :)

Next Door - Fremantle http://www.nextdoorbar.com.au/

Belgian Beer Café - Perth http://www.belgianbeer.com.au/

Azure Restaurant - Mt Hawthorn www.azurerestaurant.com.au

Just vote which is your favourite via comments section.

It's probably best to check these websites out and see if you like them, I threw the belgian beer café in there for anybody who feels like focusing on a drink or two...We will most probably be meeting in the evening around 7 or a time around that, seems logical right? and most probably be a weekend night say a friday or something like that. Please, please, please nominate a day that works, I would personally choose a friday, but somepeople have these strange schedules, but I will say Friday 7pm 4 June, If that works for everyone?

I'm not the best planner in the world (if you can't already tell) So please distribute this via twitter, email, facebook, reblog it do whatever lets get lots of perth bloggers there :)

Remember if more than 10 (i hope it'd be) rock up nuffnang will put on a few bits of food and drink :) So it's quite important to shout this from the hills, so to speak. I'm not sure if that's the right saying or not, but nevermind.

Also for any of you who think these places aren't up to our nuffnang standards please feel free to suggest somewhere else :)

So that's the update.

Nic.

Myalup Pines

2010-04-29T00:11:00.000+08:00

Time for a History lesson! Myalup Pines Cabins was set up to house milling workers in the late 1930's it is situated about 120km (that's about 74.5miles for my American friends who are very behind with the metric system :p ) south of Perth, a 2 and a half hour drive from the city. Okay, History lesson over, don't want to bore you too much!

We went down for a small break to show our friends the sights and lack of sounds, this being a good thing, It's peaceful yeh, Western Australia has to offer.

So, because I'm not really good with the words and I'm very lazy/busy I will just post a whole bunch of photos and try to ad witty captions.

Enjoy!

Making a pit stop at mcdonalds.

This guy has the same f*cked up elbow as my dad. fancy the chances of seeing the same problem elbow just one car infront of us.

The lovely scenery on the drive down.

sorry for the stupid angle, Someones excited!

Saw this nice car on the way down.

The only station we could listen to :(

"Can we stop for Ice cream? and maybe a Pie?"

"The pies were shit"

So we went to ma marshalls to get an Emu Pie.

We ate one of these, It's a bit sick that they sell emu pies here then they also have emus outside, so you're practically looking at the before and after.

Emu Pie

We got back and went for a walk in the Pines.

Then my Mum cooked Spaghetti, a HUGE amount of it

(to avoid confusion this is not my mum mixing the pasta here)

Then we ate.

Then we smoked shisha.

2010-04-04T01:14:00.000+08:00

I'm too lazy to blog anything interesting, ok not lazy, i'm a bit busy with school and everything. My mind is consumed by many hours of trying to come up with interesting shows, then slowly talking myself out of them because they either sound like too much work or too boring. bleh.

Anywho the first pic is just from chat roulette, its not that exciting was a boring night with the people on there. The second set are just from childhood and the last ones are of grandparents, I managed to steal them from my nan :)

click to make it larger, we just tried to imitate them, the dude on the end was cool, he was french and had a good sense of humor. Actually the girl at the top left was french aswell.

I think i was like 4 here? Power Rangers FTW!

Another Power Rangers photo, I was dueling my brother (left) here.

This was in the caravan, we must have been on a holiday somewhere, I think this was in Esperance.

Here is another PR photo :) I took the hat off all the time because it gets really hot under there and I think it made my face itchy, Don't know how those "real" rangers used to do it!

Thats right ladies, I was a fireman, Need a fire out? Just call :) haha.

Out in east perth :)

My sister sporting the man-u shirt haha, wearing this stupid top hat she got from the local show. I hope my kids never wear such stupid things in public, you know like power ranger costumes etc etc, Also in this photo is my auntie shirley, in the green. I was supposed to meet her when i went to KL but i told my Mum it would be awkward because I've never met her before and She'd be like who the eff are you? But it turns out I met her, when I was like 4! (:

Now for some old old photos.

My Opa (dutch for: Grandfather)

My Opa once again. This was when he was in the navy, He never got posted to any wars *lucky* but he got to sail to Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, You know all the cool places :)

He's got some photos of kampung malaysia and Old Photo's of Singapore and Hong Kong. I Should upload them, They're pretty interesting. He has one of Elizabeth Walk I think it's called, which is where the theatre is now.

This was his parents, when they moved out to Australia in the 50's.

When my Nan and Opa Got married, how happy do they look?

My Nan at some ball in Melbourne, Australia. (some time in the 1950's)

I threw this photo in here for fun, this is my uncle and aunt on their wedding day, obviously, How much does my uncle look like a movie star? I don't know if its just me or maybe he does. Unfortunately he wasn't, he was a footballer instead.

WELL that's all sorry for the ultra boring post!

Earth hour!

2010-03-19T15:57:00.001+08:00

Earth hour; What is it all about?

Earth hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 when 2.2million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour, for one cause; to make a positive difference in global warming.

Three years later, 34 more countries have joined Australia in Earth Hour, by simply turning their lights off for one hour in the evening.

Some countries have even made this into a day of celebration turning lights off in their capitals and landmarks:

What can I do about Earth Hour you may be asking yourself?

Well all you have to do is shut your lights off for an hour (and maybe all your other electrics) join the mailing list and maybe even throw a party! Have a candle light dinner, Go sit around a camp fire etc etc. whatever tickles your... :P Just as long as it's in the dark.

For Australians when we join the mailing list to say we are participating we can go in the draw to win a solar power system for our home*, provided by Solar Shop Australia.

*competition only open to individuals and families signing up to earth hour.

For more information on Earth Hour go to : www.earthhour.org.au or www.earthhour.org

Puff Pizza

2010-03-15T19:14:00.001+08:00

This is my second post about pizza.

On Tonights menu, Puff Pizza! Puff pizza? Yeh! Puff pizza! Pizza on a puff pastry base, Just like the one at Domino's but wayyy better!

What you need -
Puff pastry 5 sheets
Pizza Sauce ( I like to use Leggo's)
A pack of ; Mozzerella, Chedder, Parmesan Cheese.
Bacon rashers ( cut them into pieces )
Tinned Pineapple (Pieces)
Garlic Oil
Basil

Method:
Place the puff pastry sheet on a tray, which should be lightly floured, then fold over the corners of the pastry (about 2cm) then with a fork lightly dock the center of the pastry, this is so the pastry doesn't rise in the oven and upset all the toppings.

Apply your sauce after docking and flouring.

Make sure your sauce is even. If your sauce isn't even

you will lose heat in the base and it will lose flavour.

Throw your cheese on. This pizza has 3 cheese on it.

Put some basil on for some extra flavour.

Dash on some garlic oil for extra taste and some meat on there for good measure, this one has bacon on it.

Then put it in the oven for 20 minutes or atleast until the sides have gone golden and the cheese has melted. Take it out, you can cut it into however many pieces your heart desires. I cut it into for because there was four of us eating. You can also cut it into smaller pieces if it is for finger food etc etc

This is one of the pizza's after it was cooked.

So is this one, deh.

So give it a go if it looks any good! Tell me how you went.

This is incredibly easy and pretty quick to make even get the kids involved (if you have some.)

Happy Pizza'ing

Sushi and I

2010-02-28T21:30:00.002+08:00

*WARNING LAME POST*

When I was in Singapore last my friend said if I eat the sushi he chose from the conveyor he'd pay for my meal. So I attempted and as you could guess, I ended up paying. Watch me act like a big girl in this video because I didn't want to eat the disgusting sushi. I don't know what this one is called, but it was bloody disgusting. Tasted like fish insides, Stuck to the roof of my mouth and nearly made me throw up. Don't get me wrong, Sushi and I have been friends for a very long time, just this time sushi stabbed me in the back. bitch.

Can you judge a tweeter by his tweets?

2010-02-28T15:30:00.000+08:00

Just now @BeefyKhai, Tweeted:

Well, should they?

No, I don't believe so (especially if you've just started following them), because that is their view on certain matters and what they WANT to talk about, most things are lost in translation for example but not limited to; expression, satire, sarcasm and emotion.
This is the part where people shouldn't be judged as people interpret things differently. I could say one thing and in my mind, it might make perfect sense and could even be funny, but in another's mind it could be construed as hateful, nonsensical and definitely not funny. ( this rarely happens because i'm hilarious and smart) See what i just wrote there is pure sarcasm, but you could've just interpreted that as Self Obsessed, Arrogant etc etc.

I think what it comes down to is, if you know the person and you know what their personality is like you can judge them on what they tweet, if you don't know the person you should find out who they are and what they are like first before you make assumptions and start judging them.

What's your view? Should you judge them or not ?

Service.

2010-02-27T15:38:00.001+08:00

What did I do to make them treat me so badly?
Thats one question that goes through my mind every time I get bad service at a shop. The answer is: NOTHING.
It just seems that bad service is the norm these days. I don't understand why we still put up with it, what makes these people think they can treat their customers, the ones who are giving THEM the money that way?
Pretty much because the staff just don't care anymore, their managers are lazy or just completely ignorant.
I know when I used to manage stores my staff were never allowed to treat OUR customers with such disrespect, at the end of the day they are what pay our wages and make us money. In the city you can expect good service because that is a "tourism" area and the staff are properly trained, out in the suburbs are a completely different story, it doesn't matter whether you are in the south, the north or the east, you can expect bad service wherever you go. It used to be expect great service and get disappointed when one person would give bad service, now it seems like the complete opposite, when you get good or great service you are extremely surprised and it makes your day! I don't know what this is supposed to achieve...

Here is a rough estimate of where gives good service.

Nowhere. HAHA ok not like that.

Woolworths - Good
Coles - Good
IGA- Terrible
McD - Terrible
Red Rooster - Average
Chicken Treat - Terrible
Domino's - Average
Eagle Boys - Average
BP - Average
Caltex - Terrible
Boost - Good
Java Juice - Good
Myer - Average
Djones - Good
Jay Jays - Good
Surf Shops - Good
Dick Smith - Good

It is always Major Chains that offer bad service, Smaller Independent chains give much better service, you want to know why? Because the Franchisee is always in the stores running them and making sure their staff are giving good service. Major Chains I think just do not care anymore, why? Because they are making bulk money so either way people are just going to buy from them, because they've knocked out the competition. Also I think working environment is a huge factor aswell, We all know that IGA's have really dingy shops with no music or its old crap they play, and their staff are always miserable then on the other hand we have Surf Shops for example. They have their music blaring and it's always commercial top of the charts music and they always seem so happy and warm. What do you think? Is it a combination of bad training and working environment? I know when i used to have my shop, we'd always have regular meetings about service and have a great working environment, So we'd always give great service. Or is it just that service isn't going to come first anymore?

more pictures again

2010-02-23T18:24:00.000+08:00

Hallo all,

I've returned from my world tour of Asia (Singapore, Indonesia & Malaysia.)

I have a lot of stories and memories from this trip but toooo many for me to actively remember right now and to put down. So instead I am just going to post a whole lot of photos, because I know you all enjoy looking at photos and not reading babbling text.

We flew Air Asia everywhere we went!

#bunhunt2010

2010-01-11T21:53:00.001+08:00

[image via Bread Story]

Once upon a time in a place faraway lived a bun, not any normal bun, an exciting, new, never seen before, bun...

Meh. Ok so the bun! You may ask: what is it about the bun? What makes this bun so special? What is the bun made of?

I’ll tell you then, when I was sitting in my hotel in KL last time I visited I needed to get some lighter fluid from the shopping centre across the road, for our dodgy lighters we bought from Petaling St, everyone else was still asleep catching a few z’s before our flight back. I being the energetic person I am headed over to Times Sq and went in search of lighter fluid, while I was walking through the overpass the smell of freshly baked bread filled the overpass, it excited my senses and suddenly changed my thought pattern once again to FOOD. So I went into “ bread story” or at least I think that’s what it was called, its kinda funny this is my bun story from bread story , ok lame. I walked into “bread story” and looked at the range, browsed for a bit and picked up some pizza bread looking thing and (drum roll) the bun! It was a very unassuming bun, I didn’t think the bun would be that awesome. Anyway I tossed the tasteless pizza thingo and started eating the bun. Man this was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted, Light chocolate covered the top and a smooth almost like lindt chocolate ran through the middle. Now you can’t tell me that doesn’t sound nice, right?

If any of you are wondering I did eventually get the lighter fluid.

So follow me on my quest to find ‘the bun’ because here in Australia I’ve searched the bakeries in Perth and haven’t found anything that comes close to this bun!

also follow the bun hunt on twitter by searching #bunhunt2010 haha.

Jaws - Kaiten Sushi

2010-01-06T12:04:00.004+08:00

Want sushi?

Well you can have it at Jaws in Perth. Jaws have 4 shops in Perth City; 2 Takeaway stores and 2 Restaurants, located conveniently around the city center.

I'll tell you why I like Jaws. 1 reason, its nice, light and doesn't cost you an arm and leg.
You can sometimes go into these sushi restaurants and end up walking out with a $60 bill each. which suckss if you don't intend on spending that much.

The restaurant (Hay St Mall) - The Service here is Awesome! The service staff are friendly, efficient & well dressed, which is how it should be! The girl who served us had an awesome tattoo on her arm, i should've gotten a photo of it. When we entered we got seats straight away, when we left our order was tallied up on the spot, no waiting around.

Here is some pictures

cali maki - wasn't too bad.

this one was nice

the shop.

crab crab crabbbyyy

Must photo before eating haha.

Ok so i started writing a 2009 post, but i thought lets look to the future instead of dwelling on the past.

New years resolutions - (they're not really resolutions, more like goals. oh same shit right?)

Get my Diploma ! ( which most likely isn't going to happen because I'm leaving the country mid year)

Get my TEFL

Travel Around

Get a new job, only part time.

Stick to my plan

Help my parents out more. (because i am one lazy sob)

Get a new camera. DSLR time.

Find the love of my life (likely this will not happen)

Boycott Mc'ds

Stop drinking coke. ( this shit is so bad for you.)

Stick to my plan

and stick to my plan.
--

Can't really think of much else because thats all I want to achieve in this coming year, sad right?

What are your resolutions or goals?

Christmas Day

2010-01-04T13:32:00.000+08:00

Christmas Day

Christmas for me is pretty much a day of food and family as it is for many other Australians as we're not christians we just celebrate having our family around us and the giving and what not...

So after waking up at 10:30 I got myself ready, this is the first time i think i've ever woken up this late on christmas every other xmas day has been like 5am excited to get presents and to see the reaction on others faces when they open my presents to them.

This year was different to any other I don't know if it was because I and my siblings are older now or half my family being in singapore for christmas instead of here....but yeah it was definitely a weird atmosphere this year.

Anywho we skipped the gift giving this year, so much easier on the wallet yo.

So we sat around outside for a while eating, drinking, talking about the years passed and all that went on and then finally the food was ready!

My cousin made all the food, there was enough to feed an army~!
Was awesome, potatoes cooked perfectly, turkey was just amazingly good, ham was great, carrots cooked to perfection.

It was very traditional, Usually for christmas we have a selection of cold meats, prawns, satay, chicken and foods like that.

but having a slightly more traditional lunch was still awesome!
It was a change.

So christmas day was pretty good to spend it with that side of my family, was also good seeing all my little cousins and what not.

Side note: must wear goggles next time i go in my cousins pool. I burnt the shit out of my eyes, i couldn't see straight. It was that bad I couldn't drive home -.- I also had food poisoning from the food the day before but aside from that is was aight.

So here's some pictures cos im too lazy to write some more and i feel as though you will get bored with what im wri....

"Dad jokes" FTW!

Table setting was nice :D

My plate after the second round of food!

Dressing up the pavlova.

My Apologies for the lack of photos.

Festive Season Day 1 Christmas Eve

2009-12-28T17:19:00.003+08:00

Merry Christmas to all and all that jazz.

Christmas EVE.

My Christmas would have to have been one of the poorest yet, but nonetheless it's been alright. On Christmas Eve we headed out to Mandurah which is South of Perth.

HAYYYYYYYYYY!

So we hit the road which was a more than interesting drive, my brother had consumed some coca-cola so he was more than enthused about the drive.

We were driving down the road listening to the sweet tunes of Celtic Music and having a good ol'Irish sing along. Think what you want about that but it was damn fun, you should try it some time but I quote my brothers mate "Root Beer, Irish Music, Speaking Chinese - You guys are f*#ked up."

Further down the road we saw this which was a healthy reminder not to speed this holiday season.

Anyway so yeah alot of music and what not then we reached Mandurah FINALLY! The new Highway made the journey pretty quick which was good.

We headed over to get some food after screwing around with the arts exhibition.

My bro is a camwhore.

So we went and ate at "Hans Cafe: Authentic Asian Restraunt."

HAHAHA what a joke. I ate there about 4 years ago when it wasn't so franchised and it was awesome, This time round it was absolute overpriced crap.

The Spring rolls where bland.

The Garlic Prawns Lacked Garlic.

The beer was alright though.

After the less than mediocre lunch we set out to find the best ice cream in the universe and we found it all within a 5 second walk.

Simmo's Ice cream started in Dunsborough WA in the south near busselton. Since their start they have some franchises around perth.

We ate at the mandurah one.

HoneyComb and Chunky Monkey (choc banana)

Sundae

White choc Malteser

So after food we went on Beach Hunt!~

Not much to say here except we didn't end up swimming because it was not hot enough. I know that sounds crazy but what can ya do.

Enjoy The View~!

These next photos are from iPhone.

Where is your favourite beach or your favourite place to day trip to?

Don is Good. Don is EASY!

2009-12-19T15:47:00.005+08:00

Ok, So I thought i'd give this a go! I know it's not exactly gourmet, or gourmet at all. Unless you consider one of the definitions of gourmet, that is; to appreciate good food. Well! This is GOOD food and whats more important is that this is easy. VERY easy. Ok so the monstrosity that I have created for the Don's Competition is : Roti Pizza!

This is what it takes:

1 Roti Prata

1 Heaped Spoon of Pizza Sauce

1 Hand of Pizza Cheese (Chedder + Mozzerella)

2 Slices of ANY Don Meat. ( I used Roast Chicken, English Leg Ham & Double Smoked Leg Ham)

How long you may ask?

About 5 minutes.

METHOD:

Step 1.

Go get your ingrediments!

Its best to use Pizza Cheese here (because I said so)

Step 2.

Spread the sauce evenly over half of the prata, then put your cheese on, then put your DON meat on!

(Tear the meat by hand if you wish)

Step 3.

Fold the roti over then place it on the hot pan, leave it on one side for a couple of minutes then flip it, leave it on that side for another minute or so.

Step 4.

Then serve it up!

THATS IT! HOW EASY IS THAT~!

I like this because it is so simple and taste damn nice, of course you can make it taste even better if you add veggies and what not, but I didn't have anything fresh in my kitchen at the time and I think just having the cheese and the Don's meat is enough! You can really taste the meat, its damn nice weii. The other great things about this are; Its QUICK!, you can cut it up and make small finger foods for parties, you can premake it then just cook it up when you want to! (remember to store in an airtight container)

UPDATE: Sorry I should have mentioned this, You can buy the premade prata at any Asian Grocery store. And of course you can buy Don's at any leading Supermarket!

***UPDATE***

Thanks to Nuffnang and Don's For Choosing this post and some others to win a free meal in our capital city :D

Optional Step 5.

Invite a few friends around to join in on the fun of Don's Prata!

The Tree Man

2009-12-09T21:13:00.000+08:00

This is about one of the oddest post's I'm going to do. Ok, so its about this thing thats been on the Radio, TV, Facebook...Nationally, Nearly about as ridiculous as the " Chk Chk Boom" Girl, You can see what that is here if you haven't heard about her: HERE.

"The tree in question"

So the background story is, "The Thornlie Tree Man" is 57 year old Richard Pennicuik of Thornlie, Western Australia, Australia. He is living in his tree for ten days, obviously because he doesn't want it to be cut down, duh, I say good luck to him it's going to be 38 degree's this weekend haha. The Gosnells City council want to cut it down because it is a danger to him and the general public and I agree. The trees are native Australian Eucalyptus Trees, These grow massive, as you can see in the pic above, They drop branches like nobodies business! I have a few in my backyard and they constantly fall. So if someone was to walk down the street and the branches fall they local coucil would have to pay out around AUD$1.6million in damages and what not, so spending a measly AUD$1,000.
"Channel 9 news crew"

This Man needs to get out of his tree, If this tree fell it could easily damage houses and people. I understand what he is doing and why he is doing it, but he is doing it for the wrong reasons and it is of my opinion and the Council's opinion that this is dangerous and should be removed or trimmed back (atleast).

"The Tree Man's mate"

Wow got really formal for a second there. haha. woops. So yeah that's my opinion on the matter drop your opinion in the comments section.

PS. One reason was because they wont be able to see the native flora and fauna, This is why we have parks and hectares upon hectares of native trees, go look at them then!!!

Singapore 2009 round 2

2009-12-06T06:32:00.000+08:00

I would like to dedicate my first post to the awesome people I met when i was in Singapore. These guys are awesome bloggers from Blogtv! I would like to thank you for your hospitality and warm welcome, you guys are truly some of the sweetest people I've met and I'm very glad to have. Anyway enough of the sappy stuff lets get down to the awesome. When I was in Singapore this time I ate, Oh what a surprise, I got to taste authentic prata and Murtabak. Which was absolutely amazingly good. I got to drink the real deal " teh tarik," eat ice kachangs and experience hawker centers. On my last trip to SEA I didnt get to do much of that so this time round it was very nice to. I also didn't stay in a hotel this time, My friend has a flat in Jurong right out in the west of the island, it is about 45minutes train into the city, so I stayed right in the heartlands! So it was fun living like a Singaporean for the week I was there!

Bugis Street - Great place to go shopping! Was one of my favourite places to go, I think I went 4 or 5 times haha. Iluma SC is near by which is pretty cool, nice light show on the outside at night. The Top floor has awesome garden architecture. Inside the SC is a huge escalator this thing was massive! HUGE! I think it went 5 floors up!? My friend and I couldn't resist riding it 3 or 4 times. The top floors consist of food shops, Cinema, Arcade and LAN shop.

Arab Street - I thank Mona and Nash for taking me there, I'd never been before! I got to see the huge mosque and Eat at a mamak restaurant there, 'twas really good. Murtabak and teh tarik! I'd never eaten murtabak before, thanks nash for opening my eyes to this! For those of you who dont know what murtabak is : Murtabak is like a prata filled with chicken (or fish or mutton), onion, egg & garlic and you eat it with a curry sauce.

Haji Lane - Thanks to Geraldine, Cat & Mona for taking me here, They took me here to Smoke Sheesha was an awesome experience. We ordered Grape Sheesha and spent a couple of hours here talking crap with a few drinks :P A couple of days later the whole of Sgfam came along also.

Mackenzie Rex - Thanks to Bemme for taking us to do dinner here! Was some REALLY good food! Thanks to Jinghan (aka Jellyprawn) for letting me order his favourite drink (Grass Jelly Drink) Which I dont think I'll order again anytime soon! I know you all laughed at me when I ordered Aloe Vera Drink ( and I did order it for LOLS but I said it was my fav:P) that was nice! Thanks to those who came that night was really good night, Bemme, Mona, Tony, Geraldine & Jinghan.

Starbucks Clarke Quay - This is the Second Starbucks I had ever been to as my home city of Perth has no Starbucks', the only other one I'd been to is in Sydney. This place has many memories of the first time I came to Singapore so this is why I opted to meet up with everyone here, just to add to the list of memories :P. Thanks to the bloggers/broadcasters who came along! Mona, Tom, Jinghan, Derrick, Geraldine, Kiro, Bemme & Nash!

This is just SOME of the places and things I did when I was in singapore, I can't remember everything right now because it's 7am and I haven't slept yet due to the extreme heat!

I cannot wait to get back to Singapore!
I will be back in Singapore in January when I do my small tour of Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.

This was during our sheesha night!

From Left to Right - Nash, Bemme,Geraldine,Me,Kiro,Jinghan,Mona,Derrick.
