How do you ask for pepper in Vietnam?

I’ve been wanting to blog about this for quite some time but never found the time to… And since I’m having a hard time sleeping tonight, I might as well mobile blog this.

So, how do you actually ask for pepper when in vietnam? Well just yell ‘TIEU!!!’ hehehe serious. Well, if you understand Cantonese you would get the joke. For those of you who don’t, ask someone who does know the language.

As proof I’ll attach a picture I took from my hotel restaurant when I was having dinner there one night. So remember when in Vietnam… can you pass me some tieu please!?!

Newton Faulkner – Dream Catch Me

Newton Faulkner – Dream Catch Me
[Hand Built By Robots]

Every time I close my eyes… it’s you
And I know now who I am
Yeah yeah yeah
And I know now

There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m falling

That’s where I’m going, where are you going
Hold it close, won’t let this go
Dream catch me yeah
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

You do so much
But you don’t know… it’s true
And I know now who I am
Yeah yeah yeah
And I know now

There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m falling

That’s where I’m going, where are you going
Hold it close, won’t let this go
Dream catch me yeah
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all

See you as a mountain
a fountain of God
See you as a descant soul
in the setting sun
you as a sound just as silent as none
I’m young

There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m falling

There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m falling

That’s where I’m going, where are you going
Hold it close, won’t let this go
Dream catch me, yeah
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won’t come back at all…

Makan Perth.

I’m not the travelling kind… well, if i’m travelling alone that is. Whenever I travel alone, I would just sit in the hotel room and wouldn’t even bother going outside or wandering alone in a foreign town. I mean… what is there to do alone? Besides, I’m on business…

Well, things are changing now after much scolding, nagging and looks-of-disbelief from my girlfriend, friends and cousin! So I decided to walk around Perth this second visit and…. hey’s it’s not THAT bad. I’m now the expert for the 3 main streets (that I know of in Perth). Hehehe Hay St., St. Georges Trc. and Murray St.

My daily schedule around here is something like this…
0645 – wake up, get ready for work.
0705 – go breakfast in hotel.
0730 – start walk to office.
0800 – start work.
0400 - off work.
0630 – walk around town, shopping and dinner!
1100 – chillout in hotel room, online stuff and ZzzZzzz

Pretty healthy I would say and to make things interesting and ‘colour’ up my lonely one week life here, I decided to eat ’special’ dinner for the whole week. Searching in town a well as the internet for food, so far I’ve covered:

Mon - Korean (Bimbipbap) > Took-Be-Gi
Tue  – Turkish (Kebab) > Mesopotamia Kebab
Wed – Japanese (Fish Teriyaki) > Taka’s Kitchen.
Thu  – Australian (Eddy Burger) > Fast Eddy’s
         – Korean (BulGoGi Beef) > Seoul BBQ Cafe
Fri   – Australian (Eddy Burger) > Fast Eddy’s AGAIN!
         – Hotel Food (Char Grilled Scotch Fillet Steak) > Mercure Hotel

*Update 03/04 – today I covered Northbridge! I realise walking alone can be pretty much boring. After comments which I received… well, I decided to venture about. But you know what?
It’s the same?! Well, kinda… a place is just a place. But heck, it’s better than sitting in the hotel room. So the 2-hours daily walk about Perth continues! Gunned down in today’s walk is Barrack St., James St. & Perth Station.

*Update 04/04 – today went back after work, no shopping althought it’s Friday Late Night Shopping. Tired and wanna rest, alot of things happened … ’nuff said. =P

Happy Chinese New Year!

GONG XI FATT CHAI!

Chinese New Year is around the corner… It’s the year of the rat and may this ‘new’ year be prosperous and full of joy!

Hurrah to the ‘rat’ year!
