Yesterday was the last day of my first semester with class D24.
we're all both happy and sad to leave this class as
many are not returning to join us for the following semester.




BBQ in Studly Park during the Queens birthday holiday, it rained right after we've pack up our stuff.


finally got myself a bag of 5kg bakers flour. there was a lot of trials and errors trying to making plain white bread with all purpose flour. took an advice from a pastry friend and bought myself the real ingredient.
turn out ok' way much better than what i've baked previous time.


lovely range of color isn't, makes me wanna buy all of them. one for each day and different beverage. guess which glass bottle i chose?

group assignment at Yun's place let us to a hungry stomach, luckily she had some kimchi and prepared for us a hearty bowl of noodle soup. what wonderful Korean hospitality.

another trip to Great Ocean Road, weather was perfect, sunny day but a little windy. its refreshing to get out of the city.


Vietnamese food are delicious, if its already tasty here in Australia, i wonder how does it taste in Vietnam. clear broth, refreshing vegetables, beef slices are still my favourite.
