Well nothing much has happened lately as we are all busy with assignments. Yes 1 more month to go for me and 3 more weeks for Kenneth and we are through for this semester. :-)
I've receive this poem from my friend, Kat (No she didn't write it but an African kid did) and I thought it was pretty neat to share.
This poem was nominated poem of 2005 for the best poem, written by an African kid.
When I born, I Black,
And you White fella,
And you calling me Colored??
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black.
When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue,
When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray.
Today we had dinner at Fir's place. He was the chef tonight! I especially like the tofu with mince chicken dish. I could just have that with steaming hot rice. The other dish was chicken pieces with mushrooms and capsicums in some spicy sauce.
After dinner we played texas poker & blackjack. Hah Ken and myself was cleared of all our chips twice. Ahh then just before we left for home, Ken had a surprise!! Fir bought him a birthday cake :-) Thanks Fir!! Awww Ken was touched because it has been sometime since he had a "birthday party" and friends singing him Happy Birthday.

That's the most often asked question by our family and friends. Seems like our blog is turning into a foodblog or has it always been one since the start? Everyone keeps salivating over our pictures. Maybe both of us should go work in the F&B industry or even start a food business. :) Here are more photos of today's dinner to whet your appetite. Bon Appetit!

I hope the photos are making you all hungry and salivating. Well here's a peek at our fridge and cupboard. War is definitely looming, look at the food that is stored! We definitely won't starve if we were locked up in our home for a month.
 Freezer - Stuff to the max! |
 WE NEED MORE SPACE! |

 Anything for you sir/mdm? |
 Nothing much here |

 Spices, can food, noodles, drinks Will we ever run out of food? |
It's been awhile since we posted pics of what we have for our meals but rest assured we are still eating well despite the head chef being in school. Well one has to eat well to do/perform well right?
Last night's dinner was superb. We had chilli crab with man tou(steam chinese buns). Surprisingly Ken managed to find some frozen man tou from the asian grocery across the street from our apartment. Too bad we have no pictures coz we were too busy tucking into pipping hot food. Food gets cold real fast now as its getting real cold in our apartment. Yesterday's temp. ranged between 8 - 17˚C.
Anyway here are some pics of what we had over the past few weeks.

Since I have started school, things have been getting a little messy around the house. We had to rearrange the furniture and today we bought a new book shelf as too many books were lying around the floor. Hazardous! The white table which was once used to put all our kitchen appliances is now my study table.
 Our new book shelf. Imagine before that all these books were on the floor. |

 Mini office? |
 Half the living area is now our study area |

 This is our biggest chilli plant. Not bad! |
