Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Dear friends,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! May every cake you bake turn out beautifully, your tummies always full, and a prosperous year ahead!

Wok About, Knoxfield

Wok About is a small corner shop in a nearby neighbourhood shopping strip. It's run by a M'sian couple. It's a very homely store, serving only a small selection of dishes such as prawn noodles, nasi lemak, fried rice, dried style won ton noodles etc. Another one of their distinctive marks is that they use Corelle servingware! It shows to me that they're willing to spend more for quality, which speaks the same for their dishes.

Nasi Lemak - the curry chicken was delicious. The patron next table kept complimenting to his guests that he had two plates of nasi lemak the last time he was there because it was so good. He wasn't wrong!

Prawn Noodles - fresh prawns galore! The stock is made with fresh prawns, probably from scratch. How do I know this? Because it gave Gaz an allergic reaction!

Update: This restaurant is now closed

Yes Sushi

Yes Sushi may be a very small place - counter seating for 4 people, but serves very fresh sashimi. We first went on a Thursday and the sashimi was a good serving size and flavourful. We went again the week after on a Wednesday but the fish was not as flavourful as the first visit. I suppose Thursdays are when the restaurant gets it's fish therefore was fresher and tastier during our first visit. Nevertheless, this place is highly recommended and it will be one of our fave haunts for sashimi.

Sleep

If ever there was a prize to be won for the ability to sleep anywhere anytime, I think I will win it. It's nothing much to boast about, but I can sleep almost anywhere, anytime. On a table, in a different bed, on a chair, in a train. My favourite time to sleep is when I'm studying - I remember giving myself 10 mins break between text book chapters and waking up the next morning wondering where the time has gone.

Uni was fun... no one ever dictated whether you should go to class, so I sometimes skipped classes. Not to go partying, not for socialising but to sleep. In fact, I slept through Uni. A lot of my time was spent in my warm dorm room (Aust weather was cold for me back then) snoozing. No wonder I didn't do very well...

Now, I find myself with less and less time on my hands. It's already hump day tomorrow, and it seems like the weekend had only just passed! Rushing to work, working late catching deadlines (they're called DEADlines for a reason... by time the you manage to meet it, you're dead) all plot to snatch the sleep away from my eyes.

I sleep at 11pm these days, and even then I don't feel like I get enough sleep. On Saturday I fell asleep during a symphony orchestra concert. Gaz will tell you it's because it was boring. But I'm telling you that I was lacking sleep. So there!
