Chocolateria San Churros - hebattakbolehbelahmantapgila

hahahaha...terkejutkah anda dgn pengakuan yang dibuat di atas???

hehehe...im the kinda person who dont care about food....my tastebuds cant really differentiate good or bad tasting food..they all are 'ok'....except for reaaaaaally good and reaaaaally bad...haa...that one i know....and i experienced something reaaaaallly gooood....

now...i dont care/cant see the difference betweeen chocolates...i am equally satisfied with either homebrand chocolates, lindts, max brenner..or even those coin chocolates....either i really cant taste the difference or my brain just shuts out that function coz i dont think it matters...

but!!!! on saturday night....after dissapointing effort by me kamal n dewi to grab dinner, we decided to go lepak at this place i read about in Grab Your Fork...

chocolateria san churros at Glebe...it's a spanish style chocolate cafe that also serves churros....here's the site http://www.sanchurro.com/. (SHEERA!!!! it has a page for recipees...maybe you'd be interested to try some =) ...macquarians, watch out!!! one is coming to chatswood!

maaaaaannnnn....it was awesome...for ONCE i reaaaaallly tasted how great chocolate is! (so boys n girls, it must be really goood!)...dewi said "lagi sedap dari max brenner"...kamal agreed...and we all really like the atmosphere...me n kamal had the 'buddha baci'...this classic thick hot choc with hazelnut...or something like that laaa (bukan tau sgt punn)...mannnn...reaaally satisfying....dewi had 'hot and cold'....classic thick hot choc with ice cream in it....

Buddha Baci

Hot & Cold

dewi ordered strawberries with white chocolate dipping (disclaimer: dewi yg order...nothing to do with me...me???strawberries???)....and we ordered the Tapas - some churros with choc dipping, with samples of different truffles n cakes...

Our Tapas (great selection!)

kamal ordered choco churros - churros with choc poured over it and served with choc ice cream...

Choco Churros

our table

i had learned from channel 10 NOT to hype up things too much so.....all i can say it, go and try it and experience it yourself...

for those who appreciate chocolate, maybe you would find it more rewarding and have a better view - so you must try this one and rate it yourself...but for those plain guys like me who dont wanna care too much about the marketing-driven-overcomplicating-chocolate-culture, just go and ENJOICE!!!

dewi control, kamal high...

dewi control lagi, sunny high..

on a totally separate note: this is an item so very high on my wish-list (which i haven't really figured out yet)....who can grant me this wish....man....i will be forever grateful!! =D and my wish is......

a very very depressing song

WARNING....

VERY VERY depressing song...but i really like it...it is a nice oldie piece i must say...i heard it first on one of the Futurama episodes (ep: Jurrasic Bark)....one of d most touching cartoon scene in my not-so-broad cartoon-watching life (its the final scene before the ending credits...about a dog waiting for its never returning owner and dies waiting).

enjoy...

artist: connie francis, song: i will wait for you

Raya-raya and MFest AGM

So i'm back home after another weekend in the city...this time not as long as the past few weeks...but was a good weekend nonetheless...

finished an online test on saturday by noon, left home to newtown to pick up my some stuff at the dry cleaners, had a nice day (refer to previous post)...went to Barker's for the GQs open houses...it was all good...i missed a couple other open houses though...MSA, NAOMIs, UMNO...really sorry galv n co...wat to do...

anyway, in short, raya this year had been spectacular. all the open houses (6 attended in total...5 unfortunately missed...gahhhh~)...all the great food...the wonderful bunch of people whom i enjoyed it all with...

i wont say its the best coz really, how do we measure that? what i could confidently say is...i was really really happy...and its good that such happiness in celebrating raya has not deserted me after all these years.

thank you very much to the gracious hosts of the open houses ive been to in the past few weeks...you've all made my raya memorable...and to those who kindly invited me, thanks for the invitation, im really sorry i couldnt make it...

so...now to the next bit of this post...MFEST AGM

sunday 21st october was mfest agm...it was yet another closing to another chapter of my life story overseas...after 4 years being in mfest...its now officially over for me now...

to recap...i remember days during my first year when i was in d sketch team, and was also one of the MCs for the day...went on to be the entertainment EP during my 2nd year...became marketing EP and joined some performances during my 3rd year...and this year, i was d secretary and also part of the performing team...

ive seen the ups and downs of mfest, felt the emotions straight to the bone...from the ones cheered as the best in history...to possibly the worst mfest day...perhaps the magnitude of my twists and turns in this roller coaster ride was amplified even more with the amount of heart poured into it...yes...a lot...

its been one of my many great memories of being here in australia...it is also fair to say that mfest provided me with one of the best education uni could never provide...

i owe my involvement all these years to the comrades who were part of the whole ride like Zek, Faisal, Jenny, Edward, JX, Alan, Azan, and many more...and ive never forgotten the seniors who helped me became part of it all, and kept me going with their continuous support...especially my bro Wei who inspired me so much and was always there for me...thank you all very much...and i'm sorry if i've fallen short of your expectations - do know that i've done my best.

to the mfest comm of 08...i hope you carry the responsibilities with much heart n pride...do your best, so that it wont end up being a waste of your time, for you only get out what you put in...and in d end...remember to have fun =)

Greater Things In Life

I fell asleep around near 6am this morning...and I had a horrible nightmare...

I can't remember the last time I wept in my sleep...but it happened this morning...

I dreamt, my dad had a freak accident...and something horrible happened to him...he fell from a cliff...into a shallow creek below...and because of the impact at landing, he broke his leg...i saw his leg...exactly like mine when i broke mine...but when the doctors check...they say they cant do anything about it...they had to amputate...

i remembered thinking...shit...my mom x keje...i am still in uni...how???papa dah x boleh kerja...i cried coz i was worried for the future of our family...i cried coz i was sad that such a horrible thing would happen to a strong man like my dad...

well...its not all teary actually...even in my dreams, my randomness prevailled...for example, in my dream, i remembered that my dad had actually taken income protection insurance in case of working disabilities...INCOME PROTECTION INSURANCE????gahhh...and actually, in my dream, my dad told me not to worry...and casually reminding us "dont we have a 28million dollar house?? asset ada...28juta tu banyak...kenapa nak risau?"

WTFBBQ!

ok...seriously, i dont have such assets...and if such things were to happen...i guess it would be a really2 big blow coz seriously, my dad's the only one providing for the family...adik beradik semua kecik2 lagi...and...we dont have income protection insurance...

i guess i had that dream because somewhere in my mind is carved the thought that this is my final semester and soon i would be carrying a new responsibility towards the family...financial responsibility...to allow my dad some time to relax more...to allow my bro to do things he wanted to do...

the timing of the dream couldnt have been better...a reminder that there are greater things in life to worry about...and for me to realign my priorities...that i now have to be prepared for greater responsibilities...coz soon its no longer uni, assignmnts, student associations, etc...it will be looking out for my sibblings...my family...

...the greater things in life.


p/s: sunny...wake up...
