Birthday All-You-Can-Eat Lunch Buffet

For my birthday, we ( Cindy, Ivy and I) decided to go to the Adelaide Casino for the Casino Buffet. One, because it was cheap; two, because it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, and three, because it was cheap ( Wait, did I mention it was cheap?) So we got there and it was 15 dollars per person.
And there was so much food!!!!!!!!
We got down to business immediately.
Cindy and I digging into our first dish. There were roasted potatoes, some kinda cauliflower, mixed vege, fish, butter chicken, noodles, pie, beef rump with gravy.... and this was just the main course!! Then there was soup, bread, salad, dessert!!
I had 3 different types of dessert!!! ( Cheesecake, Fruit Crumble and Ice cream) By the end of the meal, even lifting the spoon was torture, our stomachs were filled to bursting and we couldn't breathe or stand or walk properly. But it was worth it because I think we managed to eat our money's worth. In fact, we made sure we did that by staying there for a whole 2 hours digesting and eating again!!!
Kiasu asians + All-you-can-eat buffet= HAPPY BLOATED KIASU ASIANS.
I guess no dinner or breakfast or even lunch tomorrow then.

We then proceeded to take a couple of pictures in the photo booth in Myers ( Imagine 3 bloated people trying to squeeze into a photo booth meant for passport pictures), that was a laugh and great fun as well.

All in all, it was an awesome way to celebrate my birthday. Quiet, intimate and full of laughs.
Thanks for a great birthday lunch and the gifts, girls!!
Love ya!!!

Love you guys!!

Just a little shoutout to all those people in my life.
Thanks for being in my life and rocking my world!!!!

You Must Love Me

Was watching Evita.

Frankly, it was a bore for me, and I mean seriously *SNORE*

Probably because they were singing about her life and her life was very closely tied to politics and Argentina and all those stuff that I don't have much knowledge about anyway. Anyone who's spoken to me before knows politics isn't my forte.

But oh the music!

If it wasn't for the music I would've gone off to sleep 15 minutes into the movie.

You Must Love Me was the highlight obviously, thats why I posted this video. It is SO awesome!!

Other songs worth listening to include Another Suitcase in Another Hall, High Flying Adored, I'd Be I'd Be Surprsiingly Good For You and of course, Don't Cry For Me Argentina. All awesome songs as well, if you're not interested in watching the movie at least go on Youtube to listen to the songs or something!

Gaining Weight

Dammit. I'm putting on weight again... Either that, or my clothes have shrunk and the weighing scale at my lab is broken.
As much as I'd like to believe its the two latters, I'm going to have to use my common sense and accept the fact that I'm putting on weight...
I guess I'll have to start cutting down on my food intake now, I don't know how that's going to happen as I get hungry sooooo fast...
And probably start exercising more regularly now than the occasional ping pong match a few times a week. I wish there was a swimming pool right next to my place though, I have to travel all the way to the city to swim!
Or it would be better if I could jog, but my bloody knees are causing me trouble enough so I probasbly shouldn't anger them more...

Sigh. Its so much harder to lose weight than it is to gain weight... Its sorta like money, so easy to spend but so hard to earn... Such is life. :)

Just FYI

I just thought everyone would be interested in how my room looks like.
So there you go.
Sharing is caring after all. :)

Opposites Attract?

There's always been this ongoing question if people who are polar opposites make better couples or if people who are the same go better together..
It got me thinking that day ( on one of my long bus rides) and this is what I came up with.

Opposites:
If one was quiet and the other was loud, if one was headstrong and the other was agreeable, if one was fun-loving and the other more serious, that's all good right? These two would sorta complement each other, cancel the bad things out and so on and so forth. Cause you can't have 2 loud people or 2 stubborn people, then who would listen? Who would give in?

On the other hand, what if you have one who wakes up at night and one who wakes up early in the morning? What if you have one who loves rock music and one who loves classical and nothing else? Or one who only watches chick flicks and one who only watching action movies? Then there would be nothing to talk about, nothing to keep them together.

Similars:
Again, what if you have 2 people who love to talk, or 2 people who loves attention?
Then both would constantly be fighting to talk, to get the attention, and we all know that's not how you have a healthy relationship.

But they would have the same love for a lot of things in life. They would like the same movies, same music, same life, so wouldn't this bring them together??

My conclusion:
I don't have one.
Maybe there's no way to ever find out.
Would 2 people with opposite personalities but the same interests be the best fit??
Or maybe 2 people with a balance of differences and similarities would be best together.
Oh well, I guess thats just life.
You can never put things neatly into their little categories and definitions, its so volatile.

But it's just something to think about anyway.
