Chuck's Life Less Serious Champion Challenge

Okay so I decided to take up the Chuck's Life less Serious Champion Challenge. There's $500 up for grabs and you get a box of Chupa Chups, a chuck doll and a limited edition Chupa Chups tee so why not? My entry category is art which I am noooo good at! LOL What I decided to do in the end was to take a series of pictures to make a little (kinda lame) story with my *art* in one of the pics...

Okay so let the story begin...

Hi, I'm Chuck, as you can see from the video below I am one sexy dude and very popular with the ladies ;) I'm so awesome I have my own website AND facebook page...how cool am I?!?

I recently got myself a date with this chick but guess what?!?! She wanted to go to the library to STUDY!! What kind of girl chooses to go to the library for their first date? Dude, she even fell asleep on me so I hardly even saw her face...

Well she can draw okay but that doesn't make up for the fact that I can't even remember what she looks like...

WAKE UP!! Man, I'm soooo not going out with her again!!

But everything is cool, my sexy looks and savy ways got me a date with another chick!! =] But OMG this one is no better...all she does is stare at me with that dopey look on her face...

Sigh* How I crave some more action...

Ohhhh yeah now this is more like it...two gals fighting over me...ooohhh yeaaahhhhhhh!!! I still have NO IDEA what the first chick looks like and the second chick still has the weirdest expressions ever but you've got to take life less seriously so whatever, I'm just gonna enjoy the moment~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you guys liked it and hope you guys spotted my *artistic* contribution...I ACTUALLY drew that when I was supposed to be studying LOL! It took me aages coz I'm a really crap drawer! In case you were wondering I'm *the faceless chick* =P and a big big thanks to HawFlake Girl for helping make this possible (she's *the dopey chick*)

Just in case you were wondering I'm at the library (again) studying for my finals... everyone around me is working hard whilst I'm here, blogging ==

Sooshi, New Zealand Natural

Hahaha ok, one more post before I decide to drown myself in lecture notes and textbooks!

The guys at New Zealand Natural have been nice enough to send me two vouchers to try their new product Sooshi. Sooshi looks like a regular rice sushi but it's made of real fruit and ice cream! Their fruit fillings are made to represent fillings you can find in real sushi with lemon presenting yellow peppers, raspberry - crab, blackcurrant - red peppers and apricot - carrot.

I managed to get a box of six a few days ago and they had two flavours in a box, I did find them to be slightly different to the pic tho. Instead of a white ice cream (the rice bit) they had fruit flavoured ice cream with matching fruit fillings. The 'seaweed' bit was pretty cool. It was those *healthy* versions of roll ups you had as a kid..the dried fruit strip things - not sure what they were called. But the 'seaweed' was really soft so I could bite it apart without really having to use my teeth.

I was alone that day so I found it difficult to finish all six by myself - it's a sign that I should have waiting until I had someone to share with - sharing is caring! =P Or maybe it was coz I'd just had lunch.....meh~ either way I suggest sharing with others! LOL I still have one voucher left so I will definitely be sharing the next box I get =] Any takers? =P

You can find sooshi at your local New Zealand Natural for $1 a piece or $5.70 for a tray of six. For more info visit www.newzealandnatural.com or you can go to your local store and ask for more details =]

EDIT: hey guys! I found a site where you can get your own buy one get one free vouchers! Link HERE!!

Counter Burger, Crows Nest

Hey Guys! I'm still alive! LOL This uni semester has been really tiring. All the staying up until 3 or 4am to complete assignments then waking up early to go to go uni/work has been taking on a toll on me. I haven't really had much chances to go out and I haven't been eating anything interesting, I'm just binging on snacks lately. I'm really disappointed that I haven't been able to go to a single one of the SIFF events =[ I know October isn't over yet but I've got exams coming up so I need to study! *cries* I decided I better make a post today before I start full on studying soon. For those of you reading this post thanks for not giving up on us LOL

This visit to Counter Burger was actually from a while back and I've been waiting to get some pictures off Korkong girl but it hasn't happened T_T So I'll just have to make do with the pics I've got on me.

Build your own burger!

Fanta Float

Apple Pie Malt Shake

I was set on trying the apple pie shake even before going but I still had my doubts...after all it does sound a bit weird right? Well it HawFlake Girl seemed to share my doubts except that when she voiced her doubts one of the guys working there heard! Ahhahaha it was pretty embarrassing coz he came over and said something like "hey, it's AMAZING, people come all the way here JUST TO GET THE SHAKE" LOL Well I ended up getting the shake and yes it was AMAZING and I've had 100000000000000 cravings for it since trying it. If you have a look in the pic there's a smaller plastic cup of the apple pie shake. The guy decided HawFlake Girl needed to know how wrong she was about thinking the apple pie shake was weird so gave her a sample =] Seriously, I could have not eaten anything and just downed two or three of those man! It was sooooo goooooooood!

"The Fifty-Fifty" - Fries and onion strings

We actually wanted the sweet fries and onion strings but sadly they ran out of sweet fries =[ They were still rally good though, especially with the dips (can't remember what they were!), I also dipped them in the sauce that came with my burger and mixed the different sauces together hehehe (I was one of those kids that always mixed up all the left over sauces and food).

HawFlake Girl's Burger

I dunno what happened to the pic of my burger...there's only one burger pic left =[ I think the pictured burger was a grilled chicken grilled onion, pineapple, lettuce blend and.....i can't remember the rest >< (this visit was before this hectic semester started! So that's at least 13 weeks ago!!)

I do remember what I had in my burger tho! It was a grilled chicken burger with imported Swiss cheese, roasted corn & black bean salsa (this was very spicy!), lettuce blend, tomatoes and capsicum with a country buttermilk ranch sauce on a hamburger bun. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm It was a really really filling meal and I ended up feeling sick afterwards but it really enjoyed it during the eating process hehe I'm definitely going back when the holidays come around but maybe pass on the fries.

Happy Moon Festival =]

You'd never know considering it's cold, rainy and miserable but it's moon festival today, like the actual day you're supposed to be outside eating mooncakes under the moon. Owelps, I think I've already eaten my fair share of mooncakes this year LOL I've had your traditional egg yolk ones, home made ones, pig shaped ones and of course the snowy mooncakes. The traditional mooncakes with 2 egg yolks are the favourites in my household so I really don't get the chance to try new things. However, I spotted these little beauties in the freezer one day...

Mooncakes in packs of TWO! (Tiramisu & Strawberry flavour)

YAY! These allow me to sample more flavours than one AND I don't have to force the rest of the family to eat them too hehehe

I bought them for $7 a box (of two) at my local Asian grocery store

Strawberry flavoured

innards

Woohooo! Lookie look! The snowy white outside and pretty red inside looks sooo much more prettier than the traditional mooncakes! It's all much lighter on the stomach than the traditional ones, making it a GREAT mid-essay procrastination time snack! hehehe

Tiramisu flavoured

Innards shot

This was Tiramisu flavoured but they might as well have called it coffee coz that's all I could taste (they DO have another coffee flavour tho! LOL) For those who know me they'll know that I'm not the biggest fan of coffee hence I liked the strawberry one much much more. I think I also saw lychee, red bean and the like flavours on sale.

Well I'm off to celebrate the Moon Festival now (not really, I'm just gonna go eat hahaha!) So I wish you guys all a Happy Moon Festival! =]

Spanish Tapas Restaurant & San Churro, Glebe

Hey Guys!

I've been buried in uni work lately (and still am) but managed to go out for a little bit after uni yesterday. We were planning to go to Ryo's at Crows Nest for ramen but NOOO it's not open on Wednesdays =[ We ended up going to the Spanish Tapas Restaurant in Glebe instead and still had a great night! There was really dim lighting tho so all pics are kinda dodgy =[ the ones below are the least dodgy ones LOL

Avocado Salad $10.50

The avocado on top was really nicely presented but it would have been easier to share around if they actually cut it up completely but it was nice regardless.

Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) $15.50

These were smothered in garlic (yuuuuum) hehehe the prawns were a bit small but they tasted really good and crunchy.

We also had patatas bravas, cordornices a la plancha (grilled quails), chorizos and pincho moruno (lamb skewers) all of which i really enjoyed but no pics (sorry)

We then headed down the road to San Churro and shared the Tapas for 2 and Chocolate fondue! Everyone was groaning and a bit sick from all the food afterwards but I LOVED IT hahaha. But I would suggest getting either the tapas OR the fondue because they're really similar.

Tapas for Two

You'll get better pics if you visit the San Churro website and check out their menu.

A few funny incidents occurred last night involving babies and in a separate incident left over chocolate...hahaha it was a really nice way to kick of the beginning of the long weekend. But now I need to go an do uni work =[ Thanks to everyone who hasn't given up on two-kg yet LOL

Oh yeah! I tried the golden gaytime krusher at KFC! YAY! I luuurved it!!

Ok back to uni work now!

Cupcake & Hamburger Necklaces

LOL I'm back for a second bout of procrastination! I bought a hamburger and cupcake necklace from etsy recently. They came with a free pair of cutlery earrings =] Too bad i don't have ear holes! I still need to find an affordable hypo-allergenic chain tho coz I'm not sure whether the ball chains they came with are nickel free.

Oh and WHAT A CONTRAST! Mother Teresa holding the hands of a sick man juxtaposed with a hamburger and cupcake == If you haven't guessed already, my essay is on Mother Teresa (not that this really relates to food...), specifically it's on Mother Teresa's personality from two psychological perspectives. Hahahaha I'm REALLY procrastinating here!

Oh, and I found out my phone camera has pre-set white balance functions! It's making a great difference with the pictures I take at home when it's night time! The pictures don't come out yellowy any more (yay!) have you ever wondered why you don't actually perceive the colour difference with your eyes tho? (I mean like you don't really see things as yellowy when you've got the lights on at home..) THIS can be explained by COLOUR CONSTANCY, something we learnt in psychology a few weeks ago hehehe

ok, I'm really pushing it now...maybe I should get back to my assignment =]

EDIT 23/09/09: here's the link to the buyer i bought the necklaces from =]

Sara Lee Minis - Baked Cheesecake

These are my new favourite snacks at the moment. They come in original, strawberry and chocolate flavour. At the moment my favourite is chocolate (coz it's the one i'm eating right now!)

chocolate

strawberry


original

There's 36 bites to a box that comes in two individual smaller containers (pictured above). Hahaha this is a very quick post to procrastinate. I've got two assignments due the coming week and not even half way through either of them.

WISH ME LUCK! Oh, and good luck with your assignments all you other uni students ^^
