such a beautiful day...

...and im in the apt yet once again on a lonely samedi apres-midi. im not complaining becos i have no motiviation whatsoever to move my butt out from my orange chair and get changed and put on sunblock just to make that trip out to get my carrots and meat. nope. i think i will have my usual indomee for dinner.

yep sounds savoury enough for me. that will do. or maybe i can add an egg. maybe i will throw in some ritz chips for supper as well. yes, ozland has pretty much everything and anything. we have ritz, tiny ritz, cheese ritz and mini cheese ritz, ritz chips (like potato chips) that comes in 3 flavours - chicken, sourcream and onion and original. even arnotts biscuits have their own chips. call Jacks. Dun try the original. it suxx big time. i couldnt finish the packet. even wj thinks it's awful too. But their sourcream is acceptable via human standards. Smith chips here are way the best. Very similar to the Lays back home. sheesh, sometimes i wonder are they under the same company since the Hungry Jacks here is under the same corporation as BurgerKing. it's really very confusing living here in oz...like saveway and woolworths are blardee the replica of each other except for their names. their logo and brand colours are the same. why do they have different names?

back to variety is the spice of life...let me introduce to you ...broccoflower. (huh?) heard that before? i got a shock when i saw one. think of a mutated cauliflower, coated in the slime green colour. it's a cross between a cauliflower and broccoli. i think u would have guessed as much too. yesterday i saw something even weirder. a purple one. wj said it must be a cross between a cauliflower and a brinjal! gross.
broccolini
we also have a hybridized version of a broccoli and asparagus. so the broccoli doesnt look very thick or fat anymore but a slimmer version, very similar to an asparagus with florets of a broccoli in place of a spearhead.
[haha...correction, my mistake, broccolini, is a cross between Broccoli and Chinese Kale].

well so much for veggies. for vegetarians out there they should be pretty pleased with a slightly wider variety of choices here. as for carnivores...hopefully your mum wouldn't stuff that awful purple stuff into your mouth.
