Exploring Eastwood

I haven't been cooking lately, which means I need to eat-out during my lunch breaks at work. Instead of choosing 1 of the countless korean restaurants along the west side of Eastwood (where the office is located), I decided to explore google map to check out other restaurants in the east side of Eastwood. I decided to try this restaurant in the end:


It's around 12 minutes walk from my office to this restaurant. It's famous for its ramen, so I ordered Teriyaki chicken ramen $12.80.



There wasn't plenty of light in where I was sitting, so pls pardon the poor quality photo. In fact, is it just me or does it look like i've got soap bubbles in the ramen? lol~ Got my ramen within 10 minutes, a little longer than wht other japanese restaurants would normally take to serve out their dishes, but it's rather reasonable. But I soon realised that most of the online reviews were right: the food tastes good.... but they took ages to serve the dishes!! 2 middle-aged ladies at the next table had already finished their ramen before their gyoza was being served to them!! (=_=)

Eastwood town centre:


It's my first time exploring the east side of Eastwood... only to find that it's so much more developed than the side of eastwood where my office is located!! I didn't go into the small shopping centre but I caught a glimpse of woolworths and bing lee. The top 4 banks are also located in this town centre too! I couldn't resist a cold drink on a hot day, so I grabbed Easyway on my way back to the office :P

Railway tracks @ Eastwood station:


I can't wait to go back to the town centre again the next time I don't bring my lunch to work :P

On a separate occasion, I had this Nasi lemak from Jimmy's recipe @ TGV:


Personally, i think it could've tasted better. Huge mountain of rice, but they could've given more curry sauce and other stuffs at the side. Perhaps their Laksa are more yummy.

Korean grape candy that i've been looking for:


Somehow, i didn't enjoy eating it as much as before because it leaves an after-taste that makes me thirsty all the time.

Sydney sky last week: massive cloud & rain on the left side of the picture, and clear blue sky on the right. The Spring season in Sydney has not officially arrived yet, with gale force wind weather warning issued for several days. The weather this week has turned for the better, but the wind and chill sometimes keep me hibernating at home.


Wesley Fair'09 in Pitt St on 8th October:

It was really packed and all sorts of merchandises were on sale. I was volunteering in the kids' entertainment department, where I learned how to make a dog-shaped balloon :)

The garlic I planted around a month ago:


Few mins ago as I tried to log in to twitter, this appeared:


This "Fail whale" was created by Yiying Lu who was featured in 7th October edition of the Central magazine (click here). I've been wanting to see it "live", so I couldn't resist taking a screen cap of it :p


Sunset


This photo was taken while I was walking towards the South Juniors community club across the road together with my housemate. It was nearly forming the colours of the rainbow but I couldn't capture it with my phone camera. I hope one day I would be able to enjoy the scene of sunrise + sunset from the beach.

I went to check out the gym and swimming pool in the community club. After so many years of procrastination, I think i'll finally sign up for a gym membership lol~ (though procrastination hasn't ended yet since i haven't actually signed up for it). Looking at so many people exercising in the gym made me feel so fat and inactive. In one day, i've probably moved less muscles than even handicapped people LOL~ I hope Ms.paperplanes & my other housemate (Ms.E) would sign up for the gym membership as well...so that I will be more motivated to go to the gym =P
