THE ATTACK OF THE DOUBLE CHINS!
I'm suffering from THE "Double Chin" Syndrome at the moment. Due to the fantastic food here in Australia and the continuous excuses i've been giving myself "It's OK coz I'm on HOLIDAY!" does not really help much.
Did i mention that I've been cooking and cleaning and vacuuming while i was out here in Australia??? I know some "people" are raising their eyebrows rite about now as they're reading this... *cough*zai*cough* LOL! But seriously, i have. Since i got my own apartment and living with Mei Lin who is a clean freak... lol... i gotta do something. But i still have yet to learn how the Washing Machine works. Oh... and i actually made me & Mei Lin this delicious Black Pepper Steak! I actually did... can u believe it?? I even got a picture of it but i can't upload it now since i'm using the school's computer but i will when i get home. And Mei Lin loved it! She asked me to make another steak again this week. Hehehe!
Today I start my first day of attachment at Spurway Nursing Home @ Murumbeena, Melbourne. Man... I've never seen such a luxurious old folks home before. And their food certainly beat our crappy hospital food back home in Singapore.
And gosh... working here in Australia is too damn relaxing! I work like 4 hours and my tea time and lunch break goes on for the next 5 hours. I seriously have NOTHING to do. But the old folks there are lovely. There's quite a number of POW survivors from Germany, Latvia, Poland. And they're telling me all these stories about their experiences during the war. Pretty interesting. There's so many different characters i encountered. And did i mention i love working with elderly? I think they're just adorable and warm.
Last Saturday, all 4 of us made a trip down to Victoria Market. Gosh... this place is just a shopping haven. They got so many Factory Outlets and most of the stuffs are sooo cheap! Well, not THAT cheap but still affordable coz everywhere else here are so expensive. It kinda remind me of our "Bazaar Geylang" during Ramadan except cooler atmosphere and you don't sweat at all. LOL! I'm going back there again this Friday and explore every corner there is coz it's freaking huge. And i love their wet market... it's not as wet & disgusting as ours back home of course. It's really clean and they nicely laid out all the fruits in carts... all fresh! It looked just like in the movies. It's Gorgeous!
Oh man... i could seriously go on forever but i gotta go. Besides, my darling boyfriend just got online to chat with me. I miss my boo so much only God knows!
So goodbye mates...



BLESSED and LOVED

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,

My body is not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mould,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,

I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak, so you won't be bothered by ignorant folk"

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,

For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam,
To You and Me!
