This goes out to the biggest fan of the mica and ed blog .. Jennifer Lowry

I was shocked to find out during a sunny sunday afternoon that Jennifer Lowry was a reader of this blog ... only to realize that she is only taking her time to regularly check this blog out because she is bored infront of her comp and looks to this site as a last resort for a cheap minute of entertainment ... well jennifer .. enjoy the following summary of my weekend =)



so .... how was my weekend u may ask? .. hmmm i don't think i had one .. first off i turned up at work on saturday .... and wait for it ............ ALSO SUNDAY ... 7 days straight at work .. and if you count this coming week .. i would have work 12 consecutive days ... before you guys jump outta ur seats in disgust towards my devotion to work ... consider this ... ok .. lets get this outta the way first... i don't get extra pay for working on the weekend... wot i do get is time in lieu ... ok .. now here is the good thing... when i turned up on saturday ... i was basically there for an hour because 'Fujistu' .. who maintain our servers .. fucked up the transfer of files to a new server .. so i couldn't complete the upgrades ... so i had to come in on a sunday to complete the upgrade ... which roughly took about 4 hrs ... so .. for these 5hrs (1 + 4 = 5 ... yeah thats right) .. i will get a whole day off work which is usually around 8hrs.... BUT there is a chance since i came in twice over the weekend .. i could possibly get 2 days off .. that 16 hrs off .. for working only 5 ... that sounds good to me =P



anyway enough of work .. highlight of the weekend definately is saturday night's "cook off" (thats how i remember mica describing it) .. cook off? .. ummm to my knowledge we were all cooking together hehe ... anyway.. we made temaki and also suki udon .. which was soooOOO yum (my baby is a awesome cook)... unfortunately the yum-ness maybe was due to the fact that we used 7/8 of the sukiyaki sauce in the bottle to make it ... to break it down .. we used probably like 1/4 of the bottle to marinate the beef and 5/8's to the soup ... so most likely it was 1/8th skill in cooking .... 7/8th's kikkoman power ... think of it this way ... it felt like we used a 7/8th's of a bottle of soy sauce to make a soy chicken dish hahaha ....



RESTAURANT REVIEW:

this friday night ... like so many of the past friday nights took us to ITO cafe on bourke st ... i have to admit that i didn't use to be a big fan of raw food .. but its starting to grow on me .... and it began with the dish gyu tataki ... raw beef and egg .. very nice entree to kick things off ..... and then i had my default dish at ITO .. which is suki udon .. mmmm suki udon ... yup .. can't beat that combination ... although our attempt at it on saturday night came very very close .... oh yeah .. when it came to pay the bill ... the waitress gave us the wrong one .. so mica corrected her ... the thing was that .. the incorrect bill was actually CHEAPER ... aiya mica pham .. ur lucky i love you ...

anyway.. i didn't go all out on dinner coz i was saving my stomach for the "nameit" burger .. yes its taken this long for me to taste it .. and if i had to give it a name ...... i would call it .. "mac awesome" ... yeah ... the burger is pretty good ... tastes like one of those burgers you would get a the fish n chip shop ... so yeah ... hope it stays on the menu .. and no .. i didn't submit my suggestion at http://www.nameitburger.com.au/ because the competition is already closed...DAMN IT~!!! ...

sunday basketball turned out to be more interesting than usual this week ... as baz will go down as the first akblue member to be ejected not just from the game .. but also from the stadium ... hahah ... the best quote from the nite was when baz called the ref a "racist" ... good on ya baz hahaha ... as a consequence of tonights actions .. akblue president edward huynh released the following statement to the press at 11pm:

Edward Huynh: "We(akblue) would like to clarify that the views expressed by barry lim on sunday 12th of august towards the referee do not reflect the opinions or beliefs of akblue as a team or any individual member of akblue. We accept the ejection from the game and will deal with this matter internally. The team will look at options to enrol barry lim to anger management classes, preferably somewhere in the States similar to the drug rehabilitation centers that lindsay lohan and britney spears attended. We have no further comments on the situation. Thank you"

Just kidding baz ... your toughness and energy u bring was missed during the remainder of the game.. but we'll bounce back next week .... =)
