Since it's pretty obvious that I was a total noob (ooh i said noob!I said noob!) before coming to Adelaide

I just thought I'd take some time to boast about some of my other accomplishments. (apart from ironing, which I totally rock at)

1. I can cook! And I'm talking raw eggs to saliva-inducing cheese-filled fluffy omelette kind of cooking ok. None of that microwave crap.

2. I obviously can iron.

3. I can work a washing machine.

4. I can wake up on time. Everyday. Over the past one month, Christine has only had to knock on my door ONCE to wake me up. The rest of the days I'm either the earliest or second earliest to wake up. Yes I know, I rock.

5. I can er drink juice everyday. Ok fine I've run out of accomplishments for the time being.

Give me a few more months and I'll add

6. Cook a gourmet meal for 10.

7. Bake banana cake for Steph.

8. Clean up vomit Steph spews all over the wall.

and

9. Run faster than Steph when she chases me down the block for doing number 7.

to the list.

Until then, stay tuned.

It is popularised!!!!

I’ve vowed to popularize my other name “Jonathan” when I get to Melbourne, considering the fact that it is difficult for new people to remember what is my name & how to pronounce it properly. But let me tell you something that you guys back home wouldn’t expect.

Since we settle down in International House (place where we stay) we’ve been meeting new faces and introducing ourselves. Since it is difficult for people to remember Chun Peng’s name as Chun Peng, one day Ganesh just introduced CP as Jason (which for your info, Jason is a name that CP chose to have when he was young). Next person who helped CP in his introduction was Darren. Follow by me.

In less than a week since we got here, CP has gotten used to introducing himself as Jason. One day, a girl from US called him “Jason! Jason!” and CP just walk unaware that he was called, until we told him that the Jason that the girl was calling was referring to him. Now, not only that he has to continue to get used to introducing himself as Jason, he also has to get used to people calling him by his other name & respond to it.

Guys, so yah. That’s the new update of our friend named Jason. Such an adorable name right? Hehe. Looking forward to this Saturday’s dinner. We’re planning to go out and get a proper dining since it’s CNY’s eve. To all the makan clubers, check out all the yummy choc that we’ve been eating since we come to Melbourne in my blog. It will make you salivate non-stop. Lay In, Se Yin & Jennifer, when are you guys coming over? Winter? Easter? Su Chuen is coming over to Melbourne for 4 days during Easter. Let me know your plans k. Still considering if I should fly back during winter. Miss home so much! Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year!!!!
