nice and full from stroganoff

Hokays. today is New Year's Eve.

I woke up this morning thinking, "whew. i survived the night alone in an empty house" sometimes it got a bit scary cos well u hear strange sounds outside of the room and all..but i slept fine, without waking up in between at all. so yeah i was like quite looking forward to zhujun coming. anw to cut things short, i am like so blur and scatterbrained that i found out she was only flying TONIGHT and coming tmr. so yeah another day of alone-ness lol.

so anw i decided to like go out in the afternoon..wanted to go venture to the nearby movie world and check things out around there.. so i grabbed a energy bar and left the house. the place i stay in looks like this from the outside:for some reason... I couldn't find the movie world entrance! even though i clearly thought i saw it when i was on my way to the house ystd!!! either it was a hallucination, or i was too zonky after 3 hours of slp on the plane to remember how to get there. lol. the only thing i DID see was this highway signboard:
which would totally not help since i wasn't in a car.

so i ended up walking along the main road, which looks like this:

kinda uluated..but i decided to cross this overhead bridge which mr perkins said would lead me to some 'shopping centre'. while i was nearing the other side, the first building i saw was this:

lol. it's a bit creepy thinking of the kind of dodgy people that might be frequenting that place..

and so i ended up on the other side, and it was not really a mall kind of shopping centre, just this place with like some random shops, a bank, supermarket a cafe...and more random shops. next to the supermarket there was a bakery and a butchery..selling like beef rumps and meat slabs and that kinda thing. so cool. the bakery looked quite high class also. their breads were like 3.00-4.50 AUD a piece.

and ok i nearly went CRAZY in the supermarket. it's like the first time i was feeling super happy i was in aust. the supermarket was like the best of both worlds. they had all the nice comforting familiar singapore food. like MILO (yes thank heavens MILO)..kelloggs cornflakes, lipton tea..strepsils..maggie mee..nissin tom yam and laksa noodles..they even had ayam brand canned food lol. and they had all the BEAUTIFUL. australian food. like all the breaded chicken (breast) steaks and beef and hamburger patties and interesting tv dinners and pasta and risotto and fish and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. i was so excited. lol i duno if anyone is like me. getting excited in a supermarket. i wanted to buy the whole supermarket home and cook it all lol. but after a while i wondered if i was starting to look a little suspicious walking aisle after aisle looking fascinated but with not a single item or a shopping basket in my hand. so i bought some stuff!yes so that explains the beef stroganoff. lol. and oh-so-comforting pokka green tea. love it! and then i went home yes i know i'm very boring lol. the beef stroganoff tasted good though a bit too salty so i added some hot water. and rice is comfort food to me now in aust. haha. anw tonight, Mr Perkins is gonna bring me to broadbeach to view the new year's eve fireworks with his friend and godson. hopefully it's gonna be pretty!! =D
