something to make all of us pening

Come across with this in one of the blogs. It's interesting though. I think it may be passed around through emails but I have yet to receive one. Trying to look at the lady in the picture. First question: Which way is she turning? The answer varies among people. some see her turning left and some see her turning right. It signifies which side of the brain we use the most. Next, is a bit tricky. Now, try to look at the picture, and make her turn in the opposite direction. Can you do that? It's say that people who can make the lady turning left and right at will (i.e. instantly, in 1 seconds, the lady will change the turning direction), this group of people belongs to IQ160 and above (meaning those Stanford and Havard students lah---their average IQ is 160, not less than 140, while 180 is not surprising). At first I kept seeing her turning to right. I couldn't understand how the hell is she turning left because I am sure and certain that she's turning with her right leg stand still and left leg stretching out. Then I try every means like kelip-kelip mata, staring at her shoulder, staring at her head, staring at the whole picture, etc, to make turn in another way round. finally I succeed. But not to the extend want her to turn left she'll turn left, and want her to turn right she'll turn right lah. I need 6-15 seconds to make her switch rotation. How to do that? SPOILER ALERT (don't read this before you try!!!): Either staring at her head or at her standing foot. I found foot is easier to make her turn to another direction lah. What say you?

Grocery shopping in the evening

Bundoora Square in the evening
Today is so damn cold. Even though the sun is shining bright in the morning, it's cold like hell. Have no choice but to go out for grocery shopping. I cannot live a day without Muesli and Soya milk T_T The vegetables are running out, only left 3 carrots, as for fruits only left 2 avocados and 2 kiwis. Cannot last for more than 2-3 days T_T Thanks Tracy for accompanying me for grocery shopping. If not feels like 'procrastinating' the grocery shopping. I know I have been abusing the use of the word 'procrastinate' like forever, but I don't care, muahaha. We left our office together and took a tram ride to the nearest shopping centre, Bundoora Square. Had been hand-off potato chips for quite some time, so I bought 1 korean prawn keropok and everybody's favourite: Smith's Original Potato Chips T_T Last time I finished 6 packs of Smith's Potato Chips in 7 days. Thereafter I feel guilty of comsuming so many chips in one go so keep my hands off the chips for quite some time. Compensation, compensation. :)

Nasi Lemak House

After weeks of eating non-lemak food, finally we can go and eat the thing that we crave for the most in Oz---- NASI LEMAK!
Me and Amrah always eat at Lazzat @ Lygon, the nasi lemak at Lazzat served with rendang. This is the first time we try another nasi lemak restaurant in the city. Luckily for us we have nasi lemak sold in our campus but it's not everyday we eat them. For my case, it's not available everyday. Btw, I cook myslf to save more money. So... anyway get back to the yummy thingy. Nasi Lemak House, 113, Grattan Street, Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria. For those who come across this and wish to look for the restaurant. (sorry I forgot to take a picture of the shop itself) It's on the Official Melbourne City Guide That's Melbourne (with map).
Me and Sue ordered Nasi Lemak Kerabu! Big yummy drumstick, check. 'Keropoks', check. Spicy sambal, check. Peanuts, check. Ikan bilis (ancovy), check. Cumber slices, check. Seasoned bawang (onion--->the only that indicates this is 'Kerabu style, how pathetic T_T), check. Telu dadar (omellette), check. Nasi lemak (coconut rice), check.
Nasi Lemak Kerabu dua, with Teh Tarik (milk tea?) and bottled teh-o-ais (ALL Asian shops and restaurants sell bottled Lipton Iced-tea. I wonder why they do not bother to make Teh-O-Ais malaysian style. Is it that difficult? I know it isn't! I have to say that the coconut rice is disappointing :( OK lah, my standard for a good nasi lemak is very high OK. Monash University's nasi lemak is the best, in Melbourne. Nasi Lemak House is attractive because of its varieties of nasi lemak we never heard of back in Malaysia.
Like, Nasi Lemak Langkawi! Another one similar with this is Nasi Lemak Seafood, but with prawns and all-----I want to try that on my next visit. Amrah's Nasi Lemak Langkawi and teh tarik :)
And the most shocking of all.... Nasi Lemak VEGETARIAN!!! Seketul ikan bilis pun tak ade! Sorry, I lied. Actually there is seketul ikan bilis, which is accidently mixed inside the peanuts, haha. Lame joke. Ordered by Susheel. She has to be a vegetarian this weekend.

Who is shaking?

We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.
