Updates?

This week's Masterchef is the last week before the finals and frankly, I CANNOT WAIT!

A few reasons why I like watching this show:
  1. It always makes me hungry, so having dinner while watching this show is what I look forward to nearly everyday (sad, but true :p)
  2. It makes me want to cookcookcook/bakebakebake and has definitely pushed me to try a few things I would never have tried making (or even knew existed!)
  3. It has taught me sooooo many new things about how to appreciate certain types of food and how they are prepared.
MMmmm! Basically, I do believe that Masterchef Australia is successfully educating the general Aussie public about what food really is about. Having said that, I have also realised that fine dining dishes ain't no walk in the park for your liver - so go slow on the expensive stuff!

This show has been HUGELY received by Aussie viewers and there are a few silly people trying to sneak a ride on its success. It drives me crazy! Just wanted to put it out there :p

On a seperate note, I woke up at 4.15am this morning to watch the FIFA World Cup final and I must say that I was just a tad bit disappointed by the fact that both teams had to resort to so much violence on the field in order to put adequate pressure on each other. And I thought the AFL and NRL here were bad! But all that aside, I was ecstatic that Fernando Torres played in the end, albeit for only about 10 minutes. It was all worth it after all. Viva Espana (♥Torres!)

Oh and on another seperate note, Wang Lee Hom has just released a song from his new album! I'm not sure what it means just yet, since it's in Mandarin and all, but I will and must obtain a translation soon. Squee!
