was watching bits and pieces of the ARIAs amidst frantic revising.
Aussie bands are seriously mind-blowing.
some of the acts were awesome.
step away, US mainstream bands.
Aussie bands are now on my playlist.

Sam Sparro, The Presets, Operator Please, The Living End, Faker
just to name a few, rock my socks.
and on a sidenote, Gabriel Cilmi is a tad overrated.
sure, she's 17 and has 5 ARIAs and she has this husky, unique-sounding voice.
but in my humble opinion, it's a bit too young to acknowledge her.

and Pink is still me love.

of Famous Amos recipe!!

hello.
guess what I got in my Hotmail box today?
something really astonishing that it seems like a hoax to me.
I got this forwarded email for the recipe of Famous Amos famous ChocChip cookies...

so good things must be shared thus tadaa....

2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal & blend in blender to a fine powder)
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
18 oz. Cadbury bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla

Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Cadbury bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 122 cookies..

*greedily awaiting supposed-Famous-Amos cookies from PheyYee aka domestic goddess**

Beautiful sunshiny day.
But I'm stuck inside, as usual, at my desk, looking out to brilliant cloudless sky.
I hope that everything will fall into place, so I can move through space with ease.
Ergo the two mindsets that will solve themselves and I can get on with life.

here's to praying and hoping and finger-crossing that I get the AMS unit that I REALLY REALLY REALLY want.
if I don't get it, I will just retreat under a huge mossy stone and lay there and come out only in June 2010 for my clinical years.

please please please please please....

*on tentherhooks right now, in need of serious mind-numbing and thought-occupying lecture materials*

I very much like to spend my time as a boho, living in long flowery skirts and billowy kaftans and stringed sandals and plaited headbands. I love the whole mentality eg the chill-out, flower power, love green earth, love and peace.
I would spend my time sunning out in the gardens and still have lily-white skin.
I would be an illegal resident in small bookshops.
I would hole up in those hole-in-the-wall bars with brilliant, undiscovered artistes.
I would use only organic veggies in my dishes.
I would have this small stone cottage with those big fire ovens out in the garden.
I would make pretty jewellery out of iron an stones.

And most of all, I would have gone for the awesome, brilliant, out-of-this-world concert by The Script.
sucks to missing it.

*back to grouchy old med student me.*

I hope the girl is feeling alright now. And you know we will do anything for you la, including buying Cadbury choccies!! lols.

Today was a sunnier, warmer day than all the yesterdays combined. Lovely, lovely day. Should've worn a dress instead of my jeans and sweatshirt and sneaks. lols.

And feeling the blahness from LMS since last night. I need mudcakes.

Much turmoil going on back home that I almost wished I was on a plane home with a front-row seat to what is going to be the biggest political drama in Malaysian history.
Now, I shall just have to remain informed with my parents' juicy soundbites and articles from the Internet webzines.

And the one week of holidays passed way too fast.
One minute, I was trekking in Launceston's National Park in my unappropriately-attired-boots.
and the next minute, I'm back in Asia Centre, trying to make sense of the lecturer's mumbo-jumbo-ing. What joy!

*am currently out of witty blogbites right now. lols*

**i'm too lazy to post up the Tassie pictures as my mum has the entire file and this blog is really for her and my dad's purveying. lols**
