After more than 5 years going through all the ups and downs with me, finally my Sony Ericsson is official dead in Adelaide last few weeks ago. It’s my very first mobile phone using my own money to buy.
In fact, it already had problem when I was in Korea, had trouble charging it but after a few restarts it would work. It’s been on and off like this until finally last few weeks, it could no longer be charged. I thought it’s my battery problem so I bougth a new battery but after using the new battery for a week, when it’s time to charge, same thing happened.
So that’s the end of my SE K800i. The best part of this phone was its camera. The sound system was quite good too actually.
Oh wait… Think I’ve found some solutions to it, gonna try it after exam to see whether it works or not 😉
Opsss… No update
Hehehe… No update lately. I’ve been pretty busy with asssignments, exam preparations, and also hanging out with friends.
Exam will be next Monday. Then, one final assignment due one week later, luckily for extension. However, it’s not an easy one. Very confusing assignment.
In the mean time, I think there’s a potential. I think I must trust my gut this time but at the same time I’m quite confused and afraid as I might loss one for another even though the former has got no future at all. Sigh… I kind of enjoying the fun but at the same time, I want the stability. I really don’t want to burn any bridge here 🙁 Maybe it’s not as bad as I thought but with the situation, it’s quite hard to not think negatively.
Anyway, concentrate on exam first.
Barossa Valley Autumn 2012 – Part 2
After lunch, we went to Saltram which is known for its No. 1 Shiraz.
There was a wedding going on that day.
Not only that, this place was quite packed too with people tasting and buying wine.
After that, we headed to Two Hands Wines.
No free tasting here. You have to pay, AUD5 and they will let you taste the range of wine they have and even its olive oil. You get to sit there and people will come pour you the wine and explain them to you.
The wine we tasted but I only tasted a few which I was interested, sharing with my friend because I got no intention to try more. Had been wine tasting the whole day.
Left: The wine glass.
Right: Wine portfolio.
Left: The most expensive wine and I ;p It’s 2009 Ares Shiraz (AUD165/bottle). Hmmm… To me, it’s just wine. However, it’s doesn’t suit my taste. It was a bit of let down in general.
Right: The best olive oil ever! McLaren Vale Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s not cheap too. AUD25/bottle. Looks like wine bottle and can be mistaken as wine if you didn’t pay attention.
Left: The two most expensive wine. Tried both. Prefer the one on the right. The one on the left is 2009 Ares Shiraz.
Right: The sweetest wine I ever had, Barossa Valley Cane Cut Semillon 2009 (AUD35). It’s very syrupy. Great for drizzling on desserts instead of just drinking it on its own. Also I think it’s great for mixing drinks too.
There you go… The journey of out food and wine tour. One more to go and that’s the end of it for now.
Sing Sing Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant
Forgot to post this.
After our Hahndorf trip, we headed back to our friend’s house to play game while waiting for dinner time.
For dinner, we went to Sing Sing Restaurant at 60 Ridley Grove, Woodville Gardens, SA 5012.
Didn’t have Vietnamese food for awhile and we ended up here. The choice of food here is ALOT!
Since there’s only 2 of us, we only ordered two dishes.
Left: If not mistaken, this is pork hock in rice drop noodle soup (small, AUD8.50).
Right: Sliced beef rice noodle soup (small, AUD8.50). It tasted as it should *LOL* so it’s good.
The pricing is quite standard. Might come here to try out other food if have the chance.
Angaston Roaring 40’s Cafe
Ooopsss… Wrong labels on the photos ;p Should be “Angaston” not “Pensfolds” ;p Besides, I spelled it wrongly too hahah… Should be “Penfolds”.
Anyway, let’s continue our journey.
Before continuing our journey to taste more wine, we had to fill our stomach. Off we went to Angaston just for the best pizza in Australia! WOW! Can’t wait!
Not sure what’s this building. Should be a winery since this is a wine producing region.
So… Here we go… It’s quite a long drive though. We just followed our friend’s car. He knew the way, he went there before. He told us it’s the best pizza in town but he was wrong. You’ll know why later.
Love the views along the way, it’s autumn, leaves are turning orange, such amazing shades.
We are here, the cosy town where the best pizza restaurant is located. Who would expect it?
All these while we were told it’s the best in the town but apparently my friend was wrong! It’s the best in Australia and has been winning years after years of various F&B awards. The owner is 2009 best pizza maker in Australia!
It was packed! We had to wait but luckily it’s not a long wait for a table for 7.
While waiting for our food, we saw these on our table. Ice cream! So pretty! Didn’t try it though.
Here’s what we had:
Left: I think this should be large Caesar salad. There’s cos lettuce, bacon, croutons, pecorino cheese, pureed anchovies in egg mayonnaise ($15.90), not enough for 7 of us to share *lol*. Anyway, don’t have to worry because have 3 pizzas coming our way.
Right: Small Smokey Pizza (9-inch, $24). You’ll get tomato sauce, cheese, mettwurst, lachsschinken, shallots, schulz butcher‟s mallee gum smoked pork belly & smoked chicken on it.
Left: Best of the best S.A. Seafood (9-inch, $25). There’s tomato sauce, fresh char grilled squid, scallops, prawns & king fish with oregano & dill accompanied by mussels in coriander, chilli, lime juice & fish sauce, garnished with shavings of pecorino cheese. OMG!! Heavenly! Generous toppings. Loaded and there’s no way you can eat with just your fingers. Worth every single cents! Beware of the chillies though, I ate two tiny pieces, it’s extremely spicy! Seriously spicy, even us Malaysians got our tongues numbed by it.
Right: Damon’s Vindaloo Extreme (9-inch, $23). Tomato sauce, mushroom, capsicum, ‘Damon’s very spicy beef vindaloo’, topped with yoghurt & baby spinach on the pizza. This is very spicy too, it’s not toned down for the Aussies. It’s real deal spicy! Those of us who didn’t eat the chilli on the seafood pizza were overwhelmed by its spiciness but for us who accidentally ate the chilli, we felt nothing ;p not spicy at all.
All in all, the pizzas were awesome!!
