Overseas lifestyle. ♥

I think there are significant changes in my lifestyle when I live in overseas as a student, compared to my home lifestyle in Malaysia. I'm going to list a few here.

The very first one is, I tend to take down loads of pictures of the food that Wayne or I cooked. Don't know why, we seem to be very proud of our own creation. While, back home, we only take the pictures where we eat out. The food that those chefs cooked.

Some simple dishes like this.. We seem to cherish it more than when we were back home.

Aunty used to cook it almost everyday, just for me. Because I really love it. But I never took a picture of it. Not even once. -____- But now... yeah. =)

Next, is probably the milk drinking consumption. I never or rarely drink milk in the morning or eating cereal for breakfast back home. I usually skipped breakfast. But here.. I have it almost everyday. To keep myself warm, full so that I won't starve in the class. Besides, cereal and milk are cheap here compared to other kind of breakfast meals. And you can buy such a big bottle here instead of one tiny pack like 1 litre in supermarket in Malaysia. Maybe there are 3 litres ones selling in Malaysia already, like Pura. I think.

Wayne said full cream milk taste a lot nicer. Abuthen.. Full cream. -___-
My bone is so much stronger now. Hahahaha

We also stock up our supplies time to time. Never let our cupboard and fridge empty. Checking online catalogue time to time to see if there's any specials or price reduced is one of my weekly routines already. Because they're really CHEAP! Take Milo cereals, it's only $5 each during specials instead of $7.99 normal price. We usually buy 2 or 3 of them to stock up.

Pasta sauces are cheap too during specials. Only 3 for $6! Extremely cheap. And he LOVES Carbonara so much since we first tried it. Adding sausages and minced beef, it taste awesome! =)

We don't usually cook pasta back in Malaysia though. Even we eat out, we don't go for western food like pasta. Probably steak or roast chicken. Yum yum. Kenny Roger, I miss! <3

I don't know about you, but you don't usually find recycle stuffs in my room. I would not thought of using these containers or any others to put my stuffs, but I'll just head out and look for a new and suitable one. But here.. We'll try to use anything so we don't have to spend a penny on these.

One main reason, the currency exchange rate is crazy. 1:3, so how to not save? -______-

A yogurt container. Strawberry! But I love blueberry more. =)

I think there are more. But somehow, I'm quite stuck now. Maybe I'll write again when any comes into my mind. Maybe these do not apply to any of you, everyone has their own preferences anyway. So yeah.. =)

I miss home! Miss patting my kitties! =(

Tata. *wave wave* ♥

Yep, going for groceries really fun! Especially when there are specials. Happy! 8D

Actually I thought of a place that parking cheaper and don't have to jam in KL when your work ends. But not sure you want to park there or not. RM2 for parking. At Tun Sambathan Monorail.
