Thinly sliced home-made cheesecake sitting on a bed of antioxidants blueberries!

Yay? Nay? (Haha. Trying to console myself. I got to be the worse nutrition student ever!)

PS// I know the presentation sucks! Intended to have it to be a "live" update on me pigging via Twitter but my camera batt ran out = can't upload = decided to put them on my dying blog (Exams ok! Have not ended yet but hee-hee)

Sharing some pet food recommendation sites.

Pertaining to my previous post,
My justification on our dog food selection: Holistic Select Radiant Adult Health

Some sites that I've used to research for Truffle's food.

Dogster
Dog Food Reviews
Twobitdog

Sharing if anyone is interested and want what's best for their dog. Dry kibbles.
I think it's an American forum so... some food recommended may not be available. Same goes for Melbourne and Holistic Select seemed to be the next best option.


Because we are so busy with exams..

EnTeRTaiNeze PUZZLE BALL
for Truffle

(Print-screened from the video I have recorded when passing to her the new toy therefore it is superly blur!)


♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Treats used: Holistic Select Radiant Adult Health

Pros: She is one picky fussy little brat!
Previously we had introduced fresh food (beef for special occasion), wet food (Nature's food because of all the marketing strategy stating how "real" the meat is used for the processing) and all the little rubbish that I give her that she is not too fond of dry food.
But this puzzle thing definitely make her "excited" to get her eat her kibbles.

Cons: The treats came out really fast! (っへ)
Also MAYBE because the kibbles that I've used are small.
(She's only 3.5kg sooo yeah. Small kibbles.)

Dreams


Been having alot of weird dreams lately.
Weird as in, it felt like those dreams were bringing me back to the past, when I was young.


Supposed to be considered as happy dreams but it makes me sad by thinking back on like how such activities might not happen again.

I had only remembered some of the dreams. I knew there were more but I really couldn't recall.

Nevertheless, continue reading if you are interested. Though I must say it's pretty senseless and boring to you guys.

Wanted to brush them off but decided to just do up a post, just in case all those 'childhood' dreams meant something? A year later or so?
Because, I kept having dreams that are actually telling me something, or sometimes, it is something that I can relate to in the future.
Then, I can reference back since I no longer keep a diary.


Few days back, I had dreams of having breakfast with my WHOLE family, just my family. No BFs.
At this huge market hawker centre.
(Not that I don't welcome my bf or my sister's bf because of course, the more the merrier.)

The dream just makes me feel like it is bringing me back to when I was a child.
When I used to sleep early, waking up early for breakfast with all my family member present on a beautiful Sunday morning.


Another dream was something involving my grandma house, my grandma, my mum, myself, staying over at grandma's place, etc. Can't remember the details.

Now that grandma is gone, and the place will be sold soon (I think because my uncle had bought a new place at Seng Kang or Hougang, can't remember), I am feeling very upset.
Such memories.

That dream also seemed to be like during my primary school moments when there was a period whereby we (my mum, sisters and myself) used to go to my grandma place.
Grandma cooked for us when we sometimes stayed over. Early morning breakfast, etc.


Another involved with some of my friends. And we were going Thailand (huh?) for some choir event.
So it seemed that this dream somehow brings back to my secondary school days?
Strange thing was that I only dreamt of 4 of my friends (YL, Quek and Claud), and Claud arent even in choir!

We were even eating rojak before our flight at this food centre.
HMMM. Ok I forgot the rest of the details! Happened few nights back. =(


And finally, just last night, I dreamt of sleepovers with my maternal cousins, in an attic.

Strangely, it felt like we were kids because in that dream, my eldest cousin, Yu Rui arent married yet.

We were playing masak-masak but we were all in our 'now' form. As in like young adults, not as a child.

blablabla.


As much as I would like to say that they are beautiful dreams, I've been waking up feeling very exhausted and feeling really weird.
Sad even, I don't know why.

Oh well.

WTF.

Seriously WHAT THE HELL?

You complained that you are poor and my dad, being a good elder brother gives you money.
$1 also can't pay. HUH?
But why do I see iPhone and a freaking Windows 7 phone? Oh yes, you drive a car too.
And I wonder what other luxuries.. maybe frequent indulgence of good food since your family looked very well-fed?
Nice. Very nice.

Hate Myself (Sometimes)

I need to stop being so careless because I nearly killed Truffle the other day.

The place was actually smoky and she could have died from suffocation if we happened to stay out longer
AND if I hadn't remembered that I had left the fire on.my food cooking.

Can't imagine what would have happened if Truffle died because of me. =(


PS// My place still has the strong smoky smell as a reminder of how retarded I can get.

Tiamo II

Missed out on this night-out entry with one of my favourite girl, Sophieeee!!

Usually, we will meet to go for a mala indulgence because BF is so anti other places,
BUT
This time it's different!


Managed to convince BF for a pasta night.
And after reading some blog reviews on where's good at Lygon,

Photobucket

Sadly, realised we went to Tiamo II instead of the original Tiamo.
They are just next door! & we went in to the first one that we saw.



Nevertheless, it was the best pasta so far that I've tried at Lygon.
Just Lygon.

Apparently, Lygon is too over-rated for having good pizza and pastas just because they are known as "Little Italy".


Previously, the other places that we've tried arent that good. Especially the last one that I went!
Sadly I forgot the name of that place. ARGH.
Atmosphere - check.
Italians - check.
Crowd - check.
BUT WHY MY PASTA STILL TASTED LIKE CHINESE CHAO-MEIN?
Yet, my order with BF was different - one was white wine vongole and the other one was cream pasta)
and ours tasted similar!
I wished I had remembered the name of the place to serve as a warning to people who happened to stumble onto my blog while searching for "Lygon good pizza or pasta restaurants"


Papa Gino was the other one that I've tried. Apparently the pizza is good which we (or rather BF&I) tried only the garlic pizza. AWWWW.

Can't say much for the main dish though. But I guess the good garlic pizza is an indicative judgement on the quality of their other pizzas!

Regardless, Sophie had tried and said that it's good!


OK soooooo
Tiamo II was not tooo bad!

I ordered the TORTELLINI TARTUFO (Ricotta filled tortellini with cream, mushroom & truffle)
Don't expect visible truffle for that price. But pretty not bad! The pasta arent soggy.
I wished they give fresh Parmesan instead of the dried ones.

BF's and Sophie's pizzas were pretty decent!

Harvey's RISOTTO NERO (Rice with cuttlefish ink & thinly sliced cuttlefish) had strong squidy taste which I love!
And they agreed that it was nice too.


NOW,
Disappointment >>>> Desserts
Despite raves on how good their Tiramisu was.

Initially, my few bites was pretty okkkk and I think that was the middle
BECAUSE when I ate the other side, IT'S SO DRY!

The nutella pizza? Don't get be started.
I licked off the nutella, ate the supermarket icecream and threw away the crust. Left the badly whipped whipped-cream behind too.
'nuff said.


Unsatisfied, we went to Koko Black! (HEHEHEHEHE)
My dessert compartment seemed to be like some kind of overblown pouch.

Forgot to take photos of the dessert but really, hot chocolate looked alike. So no point, right? I had a skinny hot chocolate (HAHAHA, TRYING TO EASE MY GUILT EVEN THO I KNOW IT DOESNT HELP MUCH) and Sophie had her Iced-Chocolate.
Girls can never have enough of sweet treats!

Oh yea, why not Ganache?
We finished our dinner damn late!!! And they closes at 10pm. SADDDDD. Ok, that's beside the point.

Koko Black is my other favourite hot choc place anyway.


And photos taken at Kokoblack!

LOL at BF's expression.
We were trying to capture some nice shot of something like that:
