Walked all the way up to Ajisen Ramen for lunch to find that they are closed. Headed back down Bourke Street. Noticed interesting stairs at MidCity Complex…
a closer look
Breadtop next door and continuing down to Bourke Street Mall. Police officers at 1:03. On the corner of Swanston Street and Bourke Street at 2:31. Garbage truck at 2:37.
heading back to work, on Lonsdale Street
dinner was rice with rendang, potatoes and bittergourd from Nelayan
egg tart and curry chicken pie from Grain Asian Cafe in Box Hill
hearts…favourite bracelet, found in Pratunam Mall in Bangkok. It makes a clanking sound which must annoy the people around me, especially when writing but i just like the sound of a bell on me. It’s difficult to find bracelets that fit a small wrist. It is always too long. Same with rings. It is always to loose.
Hokkien is a dialect originating from Fujian Province in China. Found some Hokkien songs which are more hilarious than anything, especially this one…
Ji pak ban (One million dollars)
Jit ki sio hor suah (Little Umbrella) Vivian Hsu version
original version
Ai bia jia eh yia (If you work hard, you win) – western version
Female version
and the original version
On the way to work, encountered a Mercedes GL 500
and a Nissan Skyline GTR with a number plate that reads GDZR 35. GDZ most probably meant Godzilla.
Dinner was…
the usual choice from Hungry Jacks
comes with mayonnaise, no tomato sauce (burgers doesn’t taste good with tomato sauce) and no pickles needed to be picked out
Take note of 2:23 onwards to the end. You hear that, gentlemen? We should take tiny steps when in high heels. Try to keep up with us. Not us keep up with you.
is sometimes referred to as Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival in Malaysia and Singapore. Mooncakes and Lanterns are significant during this festival, which always falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Lunar calendar. It is always a fullmoon on the 15th day of each month in the Lunar calendar. And there should never be a moon visible on the first day of each month in the Lunar calendar.
There are many tales about this festival. One being, during the Mongol rule (Yuan Dynasty), rebels attempt to communicate to plan to overthrow the Mongol rulers by distributing mooncakes to the Chinese residents in the city. These mooncakes have a piece of paper with the message “Kill the Mongols on the 15th day of the eighth month” (八月十五殺韃子), inserted inside.
Another tale is of Chang’e, a beautiful immortal who ate a pill belonging to her husband, Houyi who was a great archer, by accident. The pill enabled her to float and fly. Houyi couldn’t bear to shoot her down and so she kept floating until she reached the moon, where a jade rabbit lives. It is said that the silhouette of a rabbit on the moon is visible on this festive day.
Wonder what the moon looks like tonight…
Never ever participated in any elections in my life. Am a Malaysian citizen but left before voting age. Not an Australian citizen so not eligible to vote. Not that i want to. Probably will never ever need to vote. There are no government out there worth my vote. The world will be a much better place if it was run by…me.
Breaksfast was Ham, cheese and tomato bagel from Bagel Expresso. Was running late so had to take away.
waiting for bagel and coffee to be prepared
Lunch was $10 lunch deal from The Soup Place in QV. Not a very good deal but it was not far away. Soup, 2 slices of bread to dip, a small container of fruits and a bottle of orange juice. It is actually quite like the Soup Stock in Tokyo.

a laneway in the city, running off Lonsdale Street, Melbourne

Dinner was rendang, some sort of vegetables and eggplant with rice from Nelayan. Doesn’t look presentable but was quite tasty actually.
