Birthday B@sh: Vil’s 23rd!

It’s was a very long day for William yesterday, but definitely something he will remember for times to come.   Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day which we spent at the beach with all of our friends.  The beach was awesome.  Icey cold water before noon was a definite morning wake up call.  One dive in and my eyes popped into its place immediately.  Edwin, Xin Ling and Cherry were all in the water and gosh we were freezing!  An hour later, all of the people arrived and we buried William in the sand hehe.  He almost died from suffocation @@!

We later finished the day with a greasy meal @ Cicerellos.  Yummy snapper with chips downed with good old seafood chowder!  But that was not all the food we had.  After fish and chips we headed over to Baskin Robbins where I shared a pint of ice cream with Xin Ling to halve the fatness with her hoho.  I was so tired that by the time we reached home, I could only think of a shower before having a short nap.

No pictures in the day time unfortunately :(! I smart-assed-ly forgot to bring my memory card!

Later in the night we headed to Utopia to cut Vil’s cake!

Birthday Boy!

There were 14 people yesterday. Hmm… or maybe more?

Ms Xin Ling, Chee Rong and Edwin!

Yee Sim & Yee Teng!

<- Smile Fail

Fishman & Me

Jas, Edwin, Cherry and Kelvin!

Karaoke People having fun!!

Unfortunately Utopia shut its doors earlier on weekdays(approx 1am).  So we were forced to leave earlier than desired!  We decided to not end our day there.. so we headed to China Town for supper.  Unable to decide which restaurant to go to, Xin Ling smartly talked to the boss and made sure we were to have a discount if we ate at any of the restaurants.  In the end we decided to try Mak’s Place The first restaurant on the Uncle Billy’s row.

PIGG TIMEEE = ^@@^

We were the only people eating there and we took up 3 tables hehe!

This is Miss Cherry.  She looks very cute here @@!  Nice V-sign pose ahah.  Few things about this particular restaurant.  Firstly, the dishes are really cheap but the price of the rice and tea is costly.  It’s $3.50 for both.  Fortunately the dishes did not cost more than 13 bucks per dish.  We ordered a mixture of $10 dollar ones as well as a few $13 dollars ones.  Not sure how long will this promo be on though.  Next thing about this place is that it STINKS.  Yes read again, it stinks =X!  The stench was not one of fried food but more of the unhygienic smelly stinky smell @@!!  That was really quite a turn off for me.

Oh well,

Some of the food we ordered were:

Peking Spare Ribs

Sweet and Sour Pork

Sliced Fish with Corn Sauce

Sizzling Bean curd

Vegetable in Garlic and Chicken Broth

Crispy Chicken in Chilli and Vinegar sauce.

So, how did the food fare? Well, YH gives it a 3/10 ahah.  I though the chicken was quite ok hehe.  The pork dishes was also OK-lah.  But I probably would not come here again.  Oh yeah, I think the bean curd dish was horrible @.@!!

Bites: Jade Restaurant @ Francis St, Northbridge.

Today was dim sum with housemates, sister and Yobi!  Yobi and his friends has been screwing me hard for not suggesting good yum cha places to him in Perth ahah.  I guess maybe its just hard to find the ones that are really yummy.  Or does it really even exist?  I’ve eaten loads of dim sum here in places such as Hoi’s Kitchen, Lok Fook, Joy Garden, Dragon Palace, Four Season, Jade, Gold Century and have not really been 100% satisfied.

Nonetheless Yobi asked me to pick the best bet for our lunch today and I suggested Jade over Dragon to skip the ridiculous queue that gives you shit service.  Yobi came and picked us up this time since both fishman’s and my car is busted!  He came in the rented Mitsubishi Lancer and I have to say, the interior is pretty crap @@!  The drive was energetic though.

nom nom nom nom!

The stuff we ordered were pretty regular.  All the prawn dumplings, shark fin dumplings, salted squid tentacles etc.  The squid was lovely, so was the siu mai!  But all the dumplings were over steamed :(!  So everytime you try pick one up, the skin just breaks :(!! boo boo!

I ♥ pork ribs!

Xin Ling the biggest noob can’t eat no seafood @@!  Her main meal consisted of rice rolls, egg tart, fish balls and Shanghai Dumplings!

Prawn Dumpling!

We were famished when all the food arrived.  Should have seen the look on all of our faces when we were waiting for the food!  Sooo hungry!

My sister xD! Mind the grainy pics! “Mind control… nami nami *kaboom*! Waiter’s head explodes”

Yobi! The YO boy! Hipster fail.  > than 2% body fat!  He said the food is… “Only 40% full”

Xin Ling –> stoner.  Don’t know seeing what.  She say .. the food is “ok-LAH”

Kelvin!  The bread guy looked like he was pretty happy with the food!

I pledge that it is my hobby to eat.   I like to eat.  But I have no car so it is really hard to do anything!  Hopefully I can a new replacement asap!  Today I went to Subiaco and I saw another Mazda 3! I miss my car!!!

I find the food @ Jade to be pretty good.  But then again. Every place has its ups and downs.  I loved the siu mai, the squid leg was fantastic but the prawn dumplings was over steamed and the egg tart was a bit cold.  In the end it’s how you perceive things facing you that decides the outcome.  Thus sometimes it better to have a wider range of acceptance, hence the criticism from Xin Ling and other friends regarding the credibility of my “OKs” in things such as:

1) Girls

2) Girls

3) Girls

Life: The Hail & the “new” car.

Yesterday, the most insane shit happened in Perth.  Even my elderly neighbours haven’t seen such a disaster for the last decade they were staying on Leura Street.  “Ice-meteor”!  How bad did it turn out to be? There are thousands of pictures on the facebook group “I’ve survived the great storm of Perth”, but these are mine:

This is the back of my house, the laundry room area.

Looks awe-SOME!

What was worse? Well take a look at my “new” car.  Only 1 month old ahaha.  Never introduced to most of my friends before and now the grand opening:

BAM!  Damages?  Rear Windscreen, Left Tail Light, Both Side Mirrors + 1000 dents on the car.  Yh’s car was no better.  His car was towed of yesterday and tomorrow will be my turn!

From across the neighbour’s place, Xin Ling and Kelvin could hear the man swearing “f*ck, f*ck & f*ck”!   Rwarrrr!

Ice kacang anyone?  I woke up to clean the yard today and NORRMAL, still got ice @ 11am!.

The storm left Nedlands with a different feeling.  A mess, a disaster zone.  You know you’ve just got “punk-ed” by god.  Nonetheless, after the rain the sky was very pretty! Liked how it ended really. Thought the house held up well together against the disaster!

 

Awesome sky!
