I haven't had much appetite since that viral infection a couple of weeks ago. Something strange happened to me after that. I... I... I... have been eating a lot of veges since... Notorious for snapping at people who try to educate me on the importance of consuming veges, I actually have cravings for salads these days. I also suddenly developed an immense liking for porridge. So much so that I cooked this vegetarian porridge concoction of carrots, tomatoes, sweet corn, red dates and the red chinese herb thingy called 'Gou Ji Zi'. My colleagues gave me that look of disbelief and disgust: "This combination seems weird and should taste weird too!". But I happened to like the taste so much I've cooked it again for dinner today and lunch tomorrow!

I'm now awaiting Naruto Shipuuden ep42 and Bleach ep155. Bleach is getting boring... I'm also 6 episodes into Beck and 2 episodes into Basilisk. I may continue with Beck but am not that keen on Basilisk cos it's too bloody. But according to my colleague's brother-in-law who is a super otaku, Basilisk is a super good anime not to be missed. Not my type though, too much gore.

Watched I Am Legend. Not at the cinema but on my laptop. I did not have much expectations of the show cos of the negative feedback from my friends who've watched it. And I was quite impressed afterwards. By Will Smith's acting and his body. Oh and I really liked Sam. Cried a bit when Sam died.

I also took advantage of the tuesday movie night here (when a movie ticket costs you AUD9 instead of the normal AUD15.50) and caught Enchanted. It's totally a girly show. Super super girly and kiddy-ish. Fortunately for me, I just had to focus on Patrick Dempsey (the Doctor from Grey's Anatomy).

Oh and Hugh Jackman looks so yummy in Scoop!

My Polish friend gave me a few Jap dramas to pass my lonely nights alone at home. I randomly picked one titled Hana Dori Dango to start with and it turned out to be the Japanese version of Meteor Garden (流星花园)! Story is quite close to the Taiwanese version but the actors suck big time in the Jap version. They are all small boys and girls trying very hard to be cool (except for Nanako - THE Nanako in GTO). Never mind. I shall still endeavour to finish the entire series.
