things you will discover when your living far away from home...

Too be honest, I do miss being a student, going to lectures and dreaming away or playing with my phone while having a lecture. Ahhh those days.. and i wouldn't believe it myself either that i would say this but I actually miss the stress that I would feel weeks before the exams or even hours before the exams for my case since i always do last minute revision! I know call me weird or insane. Its really fun being a student! so appreciate it while living a student life...

So what would you expect when your far from home.. one of the things that i learn while i was in the UK is how to tell if your beef is rotten after leaving it overnight outside the freezer. Now all you need to do is first look at the color of the meat, please refer to the illustration below to aid your understanding

the pile of meet on the left is proper red while on the right as you can see is looks black (that means its rotten)

So from here you can decide whether to ditch the pile of meet into the dustbin or if your like me leaving in the UK and think GBP2.75 is a bit to expensive..... Then the only way not to go to waste is to only get rid of the area affected, sometimes areas around the rotten area might already be infected but doesn't show the colour, what you need to do play the sniffing game, get your friends to join in. The more the merrier...

facial expression to be expected when your sniffing rotten beef....

Make sure you get one of your friend to sniff with you, for quality control ISO900 reasons. But be aware after sniffing a few rounds your sense of smell might get a little use to the sour smell. As you can see, Mr. A has sniffed a good beef hence his happy special expression (he seems to be enjoying the smell). Whats left now is to chop off the affected area and the beef is good as f
resh to be cooked :D but if your living in Malaysia, and you are facing this same situation; don't bother to even smell the beef, just throw it away its probably rotten to its core!

Here are things that you will definitely come across as well when your living aboard on your own;



potatoes n garlic sprouting (this is indeed a very common findings in your cupboard)
