'Spotless?' Food

I'm currently staying at one of the hall of residences of my university which is RnR Hall, Rochester n Rutherford Hall. Rutherford! Yes. Ernest Rutherford - The 1908 Noble Prize (Chemistry) Laureate who has indeed helped us gain new insight on the model of an atom. Surprisingly, he was born in Nelson, New Zealand and he was a graduate of the University of Canterbury. I reckon this hall is named after him. This hall indeed is the famous on-campus hall which is located just opposite the university and it's the cheapest catered hall. What special about this hall? The residents here are indeed "awesome", parties held almost every night and I think it's the noisiest hall where "Quiet Hours" are not practiced at all. So ridiculous, feeling a bit regret staying here. There're only about 6 non-Kiwis staying here (out of 168 Kiwis). So, no doubt this is the Kiwis territory where they are the dominance!

Ok, what special about the title 'Spotless' Food. This type of food can only be found in this hall. The catering service is managed by an outside company called Spotless. I've no idea why they're called such a weird name. Is it because their food is Spotless or their service is spotless. But, after eating the meals served by the Spotless, I think they should just cancel the "-less". There're too many unfavourable spots found in the food served, not because the food is dirty or unhealthy, it's because the food here "konon-nya" is the best food but actually 50% of the food is terrible, terrible than the Western Food available in Malaysia. However, there're lots of nice food served here also. I've collected heaps of photos of the food served here and ranked them according to a scheme introduced by a nice guy staying here also. Generally, the food here can be classified into 3 types, Human food, Doggy food and Piggy food.. I don't want to mention more on what do I mean by the Doggy Food and Piggy Food. After looking at the photos below, you'll know the answer already.

Human Food(BEST DISHES - The best among the catered Halls):




Doggy Food:


Piggy Food (except for the nice cheese cake):



How's the food? Look Nice? I've been eating these for 8 months since I came here. But, next year, all of us here are going to move out and say goodbye to the 'Nice' meals here.

Exam ?!

Wah, now the time is 1.30am, still cant sleep, still, no mood to study. Browsing through friendster n found lots of frens whom I have not contacted for ages, feeling a bit homesick now, haha, - now only feel homesick, how long d I stay here?!- DUnno y, missing my old frens and my hometown of coz.. The exam next week is like the final thing I need to complete before i can eat Hokkien Mee and Yi Fu Mee (my favourite), must press myself to study tmr, or else.... Seeing the exam timetable of my 3 subjects, just 3 but still, lots of stuff to study.

Reading the newspaper just now, "全球金融风暴袭大马40亿万富翁 郭鹤年损失277亿" from kwongwah, shocked, Malaysian billionaire lost 277billions due to economic crisis, wah, wonder, how could he earn so much money, lost so much but still so steady..Haha..

After 8 months...

One week before engineering intermediate year final exam, the feeling of anxiety and happiness keep appearing in my mind, but, why happy, coz finally, after 8 months of staying in a far away land from home, i can go back home in 3 weeks time.. No doubt, i miss Malaysia a lot especially the people and the food there and here, nothing special except for the peacefulness and the awesome scenery. A lot to complain for the past 8 months and maybe for the coming 3 years of pro study. "Spoon'n'fork" food has become my everyday meals, cant escape from it and the awaiting Chinese food is becoming a reality soon... However, i cant say tht the food here is not nice, it's indeed nice and actually I've known lots of Western meals which, in Malaysia, considered expensive restaurant Western food, the variety of Western food really attracts me, but too high Calories; doesn't suit me. Growing fat is a norm here, but constant exercise would be favourable.

Intermediate year has been a really challenging year for me as a fresh undergraduate from oversea, struggling to adapt to the "drinking" culture while coping with the new environment of study. Finally, lectures have finished d and all assignments have been completed successfully. The teaching technique here is far more relaxing compared to my hometown, no grandmother theories and the "cruel" memorization of academic stuff, here, lecture is only 50mins and there're lots of time for us to study by ourselves and gain inputs from outside rather than just sitting in the lecture hall daydreaming early in the morning, feeling sleepy all the time. I've indeed learned a lot from the Kiwis but their typical activity is 'drink and chat' and 'drink and chat', nonstop, wonder how can their liver support so much alcohol? But no doubt, their outdoor activities are really healthy, sports esp rugby is their favourite.

Besides, the gardens here are indeed breathtaking and full of flowers esp in spring now..Spring here has been a wonderful season throughout the year, although it falls in the period of september till november which is opposite to the Northern hemisphere, Spring here actually favours the students very much and the temperature really helps the students as it falls in the exam period. Compared to Malaysia, the hot sun really makes me feel headache esp during exam period. Thinking back when I was in malaysia sitting for SPM, the weather there really killed my mood of answering the questions, sweating and sweating, finishing the grueling paper. But luckily, my school hall - exam hall, has air-cond, but the problem is, not all exams were held in the air-cond hall, haih...

After 8 months of studying, finally, IT'S OVER, now, preparing for the coming exam, hope everthing's fine...

回忆

人生若只如初见
第一次总是美好的，年少的意气风发，最初的感动和梦想，在时间的浸润下渐渐磨灭；一见如故的亲切，山盟海誓的诺言，只剩下一个依稀的背影。
初见，惊艳。蓦然回首，曾经沧海，早已是，换了人间。
不再想了，过去的日子就过去吧！此篇就当作是对过去的一种祭奠，今后无从提及！


回忆是美的，但是只有无聊的人才会去回忆，才会去找慰藉。
记忆的旋律，荡然着青春年华，回不去的过往，已成经典。阳光穿透
历史的天空，划破这宁静的瞬间，保留一丝过往的神秘，正是距离的
见证。音乐是一条管道，是从冥界通往天堂的路。漆黑的路程，没有
路标，稍有不慎，迷路的就会是你。用心灵去回忆，去感受。至少不
会迷路。或者你已经习惯了，无法再用异样的眼光来观察，那就请你
安息吧！


人总会长大的，也总会接触到从未有过的诱惑
我失败了，那些若隐若现的因素，改变了我。让我错
过了最美好的风景，漫飘的落叶，沙沙碎碎。回忆是
对自己的一种审判，一种无声的侵袭。犹如凌迟般
的痛苦，阵阵的割着。总该承受的还是要自己来做，
固然是那般虚幻，隐晦，结果还是痛快的。至少我
知道了一些对自己从未有过的认识，惬意，愉悦。我
收获了这辈子最难忘的记忆，希望，也确信这将会改
变我的一生。
