<p>I&#8217;ve been really sick in the last month, due to poor care for myself and working too hard. Very burnout and emotionally it&#8217;s been taking ahuge toll on myself.</p>
<p>I suppose I should take this time as a blessing to take a step back and re-evaluate my life and the direction that I&#8217;m taking but also of the vision that I&#8217;ve created for myself.</p>
<p>At the same time, it&#8217;s a chance to look at what is around me and who is around me. I feel really out of it and really alone in this space. It&#8217;s not that I really want to be, but it&#8217;s a point in my life that&#8217;s been really difficult.</p>
<p>I want to use this as an example for everyone me to understand that you need to take time out for yourself and to do fun things. I spent too much time doing things that weren&#8217;t fun and tried to do many things for other people instead of myself.</p>
<p>Hopefully whatever it is I&#8217;m going through, will be over soon.</p>
<p>I leave you with this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Oh dear!! It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been posting into the world!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Been Happening??</strong></p>
<p>To you and to me??</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve still been quite busy on the facebook keeping account of what&#8217;s happening to everyone!!</p>
<p>Birthdays, Engagements, Major changes, great opportunities!! Wow!</p>
<p><strong>So much excitement is in the air!!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Kollaborations Houston</strong></span> is like next week in the US! And fantastic <span style="color: #993366;"><strong>XWANSONGS</strong></span> will be doing her thang next week! You Go Girl!! Rock that stage up!!</p>
<p>I was actually going to make her a dress. I even made the pattern for it too! But there was so many adjustments I had to make and unfortunately, there wasn&#8217;t enough time.</p>
<p>It was going to be a simple black hourglass slip to accentuate Xwansong&#8217;s luscious curves. Then I wanted to do some detailed thing on the tie that was going to go around the neck, just to add a little glitz and glamour, and create this focal point.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>I wanted XWANSONGS to SHINE!!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I will make a pledge and promise on the interweb, so she can hold it against me in the future - I will make you something cool XWAN!! I will!! I promise!!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Another thing that has been happening has been my interest in <strong>SUGAR!</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>Yeah, SUGAR!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve made these Sugared Taro sweets. Sugared Taro sweets is a Tiu Chew sweet (my 1/4 background which makes up the chinese in me). No, no one in my family taught me how to make this, I relied on the one person that I rely on all the time with my cooking.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
That person is &#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #339966;"><strong>GOOGLE</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
lol<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
No seriously, I google all my recipes!! There&#8217;s just too many cool recipes out there!! I learn how to cook via cooking shows on TV, going out to eat and GOOGLE.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
The other sugar thing that I&#8217;ve been really into lately is, <span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>SUGAR FLOWERS!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Oh gosh, I spent like a LOT of money invested into this art! I love it!! I remember the first <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>ROSE and ORCHID</strong></span> I made, and it was SHIT! lol Looked NOTHING like rose or an orchid!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
It was my bff&#8217;s engagement the other weekend, so we got together and made chocolate mousse together! <strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Oh the chocolate mousse was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
And for the decoration, I decided to give my sugar flower making a challenge and made some ROSES and ORCHIDS and they were NICE.. but not AWESOME like how it is in my head!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
My inspiration - YOUTUBE! I love YouTube!! I have learnt how to make sugar flowers and do buttercream flowers from it. hehehehehehehehehehheheeee<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
So when I have some more time, I will get into more SUGAR FLOWERS!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>GUITARING!!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
As busy as I get myself into, I&#8217;m still guitaring!! I&#8217;ve recently learnt to play with tapping or hammering as they call it, I think&#8230;. Some of the songs that I play now have PERCUSSION sounds in it!! Yay!! And it sounds sooooo HOT!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve yet to do a recording, but I want to try it with a mic this time! I wanna actually sound pro! LOL<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />

<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #99ccff;"><strong>LIFE!!!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Oh dude. I&#8217;ve been busy as ANYTHING lately!! Recently for work, (yea, I know, I work now! How weird is that?!?) I went and did a qualification, something aside from all the other studying that I already do&#8230;.. to become a qualified Trainer and Assessor.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
It was INTENSE! One month of 12 INTENSIVE CLASSES!! It was tiring, but I LOVED every moment of it!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
It was the first time in a LONG time that I felt, YUP, THIS IS ME!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I even did my first REAL training class and I just had a ball!! It brought back so many memories of what it was like when I was teaching classes of older kids! Loved it!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I know you&#8217;re thinking&#8230; what about all the FASHION STUFF??<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>KLUUBLOG - FASHION STUFF</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I actually have something planned in my head at the moment, but yet to find the time and sanity to execute it!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
It&#8217;s going to be exciting. It&#8217;s going to be really awesome!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
and it&#8217;s going to be something that will definitely be the cherry on top of the big massive mountain of awesome stuff that I&#8217;ve been doing this year so far.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
It&#8217;s going to be something that&#8217;s <span style="color: #33cccc;"><strong>ONLY EXKLUUSIVE to KLUUBLOG FANS! OH MY GOD!!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
And it will definitely and HOPEFULLY lead us into the next project! Don&#8217;t worry y&#8217;all, cool and exciting projects will come, I just need to kind of finish up my career stuff, so that I can actually have a good space to do some awesome stuff!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #cc99ff;"><strong>Reflection</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve come to really appreciate what I have at the moment. Of course at moments, I kind of lose track and get pushed off my rails a little bit, but I sincerely believe that it all serves a purpose and only adds more flavour to the outcome.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;m thankful that I&#8217;m in a position where I can work, have fun, learn, grow, be challenged and just feel so supported by the people that I work with! I love work! And it&#8217;s giving me a better ground to live life and continue to do things that I love doing!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve also come to understand a lot of things within me. My strengths, my weaknesses, what I&#8217;m really good at and what I really like doing&#8230;. but also I found a very important part of me which was this lock that I have implaced on myself, that I did not really know was there and I did not know how to remove.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><span style="color: #33cccc;"><br />
I&#8217;m so thankful that the universe has helped me find the key. Thank you!</span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
With this key, I know now that there is absolutely no limit to what I can achieve and what I want to achieve!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The sky&#8217;s the limit!</strong></span><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />

</strong><strong>Diana Nguyen </strong></p>
<p>Location: Mystery House</p>
<p>This was the scariest horrific shoot I was on, but it was the most fun, hilarious and super dooper creative! I love Diana&#8217;s enthusiasm and her tweak on creating a shoot that was not about the glamour and beauty of fashion, but to create the ugly, the horrid and the raw craziness of fashion. (Also big thanks to Nate for helping out!)</p>

<p>When I heard of the location for this shoot, I was like&#8230;. Oh dang.. so Diana&#8217;s wasn&#8217;t the scariest! LOL I didn&#8217;t actually go to this shoot, but I absolutely love the calming and peacefulness that the photographers captured.</p>

<p>Location: RMIT University / Melbourne Museum (IMAX Theatre) / Mystery Apartment Block</p>
<p>This was a really last minute shoot, done ONE week before the show. Though, the shots were amazing and so creative! Capturing the playfulness and dreaminess of floating away! Loved it! The video was also my favourite of them all!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Layout of the exhibition! </strong>This actually turned out pretty cool, considering the first time I saw the place I literally, ran to Laurent, had a piece of lime/raspberry cake, and cried in my car for a while. lol&#8230; in hindsight, what I did was pretty stupid! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> <strong><br />

<p><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Sampson Fok</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Location: Yarra Valley / Camberwell</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What could&#8217;ve been a country side shoot, turned into something completely different. We couldn&#8217;t fight with weather - but we could only make do with what we have!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1136" title="sampson" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sampson.jpg" alt="sampson" width="637" height="365" /></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We also had another photographer on this shoot, and even though we were essentially in the same place, her photos were of another perspective.</p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Susan Diep</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Location: Yarra Valley / Studio</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The silent shoot was hilarious!! I called it the silent shoot because we had to do it without saying anything too loud!! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1137" title="susan" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/susan.jpg" alt="susan" width="637" height="365" /><br />
<strong><br />

</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Hien Tran</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Location: Studio</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This was one ROCKIN&#8217; night! I had a lot of fun on this shoot, especially with the MEZZE dress where we had to fully tease the models hair and make do with the make up that we had!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1135" title="hien" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hien.jpg" alt="hien" width="637" height="365" /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Thank You ALL for coming and supporting me and the nine fabolous teams of people who got together and created a spectacular event!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
The night turned out to be quite an interesting night, with <strong>demured lighting</strong>, <strong>glossy photos </strong>that hung from the walls, <strong>soothing eccentric vibes</strong> that reverberated from the walls, the juxtaposed windows and doors, but most importantly - the <strong>amazing photos</strong> that formed the centre piece of the night.</p>
<p>There was more than <strong>100 hundred spectacular photos</strong> on show that night, from all the <strong>9 photographers</strong>, all with <strong>different perspectives</strong>, different views of what the three garments could be portrayed.</p>
<p>What I enjoyed from the night was seeing a lot of supportive people come in and really enjoying themselves and celebrated what <strong>ART and PHOTOGRAPHY</strong> had to offer.</p>
<p><strong>My cupcakes turned out ok too!</strong> ^^ Well, they weren&#8217;t the same as what I had in mind. Though, the venue was also something completely different from what I had in mind&#8230; even my laptop wasn&#8217;t working with the projector and the speakers. Oh my!</p>
<p>Though, like everything else in life, <strong>you need to compromise</strong> and <strong>you need to be resourceful</strong>.</p>
<p>To look at what you have, and use your imagination to create a smooth and sensual ambience - or the desired effect that you wish to achieve.</p>
<p><strong>It definitely wasn&#8217;t something easy!</strong></p>
<p>lol &#8230; lots of sleepless nights, planning, strategic thinking, emo moments - oh that was just me! lol</p>
<p>But i&#8217;m so glad that I&#8217;m <strong>BLESSED</strong> to have such supportive friends who endure my orders, my bitterness, my stressfulness, my sadness - and really celebrate my happiness and believe in my vision and my enthusiasm.</p>
<p><strong>Thank you to the photographers - Shan, Colin, Khoa, Sampson, Susan, Hien, Diana, Nate, Mark, Alex, Jacqueline and Larry</strong> - for all your hard work, creative visions, passion and enthusiasm for this project and photography! This even would not happen if it weren&#8217;t for you guys!</p>
<p><strong>Thank you to the make up artists/hair stylists - Cammi, Lisa, Katrina, Agnes and Karen</strong> - Your visions of beauty are spectacular!</p>
<p><strong>Thank you to the models - Nuria, Tu-Uyen, Julie, Sarah, Anne, Erin, Linda, Vicky, Shae, Vanessa</strong> - for your beauty and enthusiasm and endurance for the cold! If it weren&#8217;t for you girls, the photos wouldn&#8217;t be that amazing and radiant!</p>
<p><strong>Thank you to the people who came along to help for each shoot - Sam, Warren, Biccy, Danh, Mandy, Katlin and Larry&#8217;s friend</strong> - Thank you for being around to chase people away, carry bags, put clothing on models, hold flashes - it would be so difficult to put the shoots together!</p>
<p><strong>Thank you to the people helped me organise things - Lisa, Diana, Tu-Uyen, Sampson, Andy, Alex, Dee, Linda, Warren, Nev, Mark </strong>- thank you for helping me keep sane, and putting things up, following my orders (yes, i&#8217;m a nazi&#8230;), driving down to Melbourne and sticking around even though you were hungry as anything!! Especially big thanks to Lisa for driving up and down and carrying all my stuff!!!</p>
<p><strong>Big HUGS to you all!! </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>ONE - PERSPECTIVE d</strong>efinitely was not something that was easily pulled off, but <strong>we did it!!! </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Here&#8217;s to the next fashion photography project!!!</p>
<p>(Hoping to start in <strong>SEPTEMBER 2010!</strong> <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8230; just need some time to think it through first! ;D)<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
- - - - - - - - - - - -<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Over the next three days, I will be showcasing the amazing work from these fabolous photographers. Some will be featured here, and some will be on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/kluuBLOG/50223369085?ref=ts" target="_blank">KLUUBLOG FACEBOOK Fanpage</a>.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I will showcase them in order, not to discriminate or play preference!!<br />
<strong><br />

So much background work. So many videos to edit, music to listen to and chose.
We even acquired one lucky last shoot for ONE - PERSPECTIVE!! So that gives us a total of NINE photographers!
NINE different perspectives!

<p>I&#8217;ve been ever so busy just organising this event and trying to fit everything else in life. Have I mentioned that I now do some kick boxing? lol</p>
<p>It was one of those things that I&#8217;ve wanted to try. I do like it. I do. Though, maybe by the end of this academic semester, I may not continue&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My world is forming to every heart beat I have.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m feeling so blessed at the moment. Things have just been put to place and put into motion. The ONE-PERSPECTIVE launch is finally here!! And I am soooo OVER THE MOON that I finally found a place to hold such an awesome event!</p>
<p><strong>FRIDAY the 30th of APRIL at 8.30pm - 10.30pm for those who would like to come along and check out the exhibition. </strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone" title="ONE - PERSPECTIVE" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs441.snc3/25336_10150146818505372_709240371_11985818_967680_n.jpg" alt="" width="670" height="502" /><br />

<p>I truly feel like that what ever your mind believes, your mind will achieve. Truly believe that! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It was last year in Decemeber that I wanted this to happen, and it finally did. Lots of hard work, pushing people, talking to people, going around, driving around. lol</p>
<p>I also updated my portfolio as well. It&#8217;s not much.. Actually for a real portfolio, there&#8217;s not much at all, but I just pulled it together last minute because I wanted to get it done&#8230; You want to have a look? lol</p>
<p>It comprises of my work throughout my later days (not all uni stuff - only two pages from my honours stuff).</p>
<p>Anyway.. I know this is like writing only a few words and then leaving, but I&#8217;m so busy right at this moment.. Please forgive me!! I still love you all!!! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hey All!!!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I know it&#8217;s been sooooooo long since I last wrote anything!! I&#8217;m so sorryy!!!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve been ever so busy going to all these <strong>photo shoots that have been absolutely amazing!</strong> <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I guess it all started at the end of February, and ever weekend after that was a photo shoot, or two photo shoots, or three! Yeah, I know, it&#8217;s been crazy!! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> But I love it!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve been to <strong>studio shoots, location shoots, eccentric shoots, beautiful shoots, sexy shoots</strong>&#8230; seen <strong>very very beautiful models</strong>&#8230; seen beautiful make up, amateur make up, last minute make up, and also no make up! LOL<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
I&#8217;ve seen <strong>canons, nikons, sonys</strong>&#8230; lol&#8230;. i think they were all DSLRs from memory.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>TOok heaps of background footage</strong> that I&#8217;ve already <strong>editted and made short 2 - 3 minute films</strong> and had to run through YouTube and Google looking for cool &#8220;Fashion Runway Music&#8221; or &#8220;Music with no singing&#8221; LOL and eventually picked some of the <strong>coolest music </strong>that I will probably <strong>add to the soundtrack at the show. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Yes. I am currently working on finding a venue for the show. Looking into different places and venue hire, prices &#8230; don&#8217;t think it will be a huge event. Was thinking of a club, but then it just takes the emphasis off what the whole idea of the project was.<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>However, I&#8217;m open minded, so anything is possible as long as it fits with what I am seeing in my head! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
One thing I&#8217;ve learnt from all this so far is that <strong>FUN and the concept of FUN is simple. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
As long as you grab a bunch of <strong>like minded people together</strong>, get <strong>everyone exert what is essential their skill</strong>, their <strong>passion</strong> and their <strong>love</strong>, you will be able to <strong>create amazing things.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Amazing things!</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
And that&#8217;s basically what it&#8217;s all about! <strong>Fun. Love. Laughter. Triump. </strong></p>
<p>Just thinking about the even, I can feel it&#8217;s so close. I am like really wanting it to be done so that I can start the next project, which is going to start really soon. Which I need to get stuff organised for the next thing. LOL</p>
<p>Gosh, I was lost with the fairies for a sec there. lol.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Anyway.. Stay tuned for the actual event and I promise I will upload all the pretty photos and videos, once the whole event is done! <strong></strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Yay!!! I&#8221;m EXCITED!! </strong> <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Karen x</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
ps. Here are some sneak peek shots that I was at, and these photos are the images that I took with my nikon coolpix S510 (in other words, not a DSLR! tee hee)<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
pps - *whisper voice* I&#8217;m only showing you kluublog lovers, because I love you all, but yeahh&#8230; don&#8217;t tell the photographers what I&#8217;m showing you!! (Even if it&#8217;s all blurred out!!) *tugging on shirt collar*<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Hope I don&#8217;t get bashed! :S<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Enjoy!</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What I love about Melbourne is, you never know when you stumble upon a really good restaurant. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Literally.. I was dropping off a friend around St. Kilda, and we were quite hungry and was looking for a place to eat.. We were actually heading towards Acland Street&#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
So walking walking&#8230;. We looked across the street and saw a really strange looking sign.. My friend was like..<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>&#8220;Is that place Thai?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and I was thinking..<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
&#8220;<strong>is that place even a restaurant?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">lol<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
We crossed the road.. saw the menu.. and a little window.. lol..<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>So it was a restaurant, but was it opened? </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
I suggested we just stick our heads in the window and just ask. LOL<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
We walked in and was in AWE!<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>It was beautiful inside! Absolutely beautiful!</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1075" title="snc01005" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01005-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01005" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1076" title="snc01006" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01006-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01006" width="614" height="461" /></p>
<p>(sorry, poor quality photos with my phone&#8230; hence why I enlarged the photos so you can hopefully see more clearly!)<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
We looked at the menus&#8230; Had no idea.. so .. like I always do in a restaurant that I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s happening&#8230; I always ask this one question&#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>&#8220;What&#8217;s good here?&#8221;</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
LOL<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
More often than not, you get a <strong>really detailed answer</strong>, if the waiter is a good one, but if you walk into the fine dining experiences that we find ourselves in, they will have that detail answer you&#8217;re looking for.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
He introduced a whole lot of dishes to us, to which a lot of them sounded good and we did choose them in the end!<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
From speaking to the boss later&#8230; we found out that <strong>&#8220;Bedouin Kitchen&#8221; </strong>is actually an <strong>Egyptian/Arabic</strong> kind of restaurant (I know right.. exotic) that serves Egyptian Mezze.</p>
<p><strong>Mezze</strong> is a word that in Chinese Cuisine is translated to mean &#8220;Food&#8221; or in Spanish Cuisine to mean &#8220;Tapas&#8221;. So it&#8217;s the experience of sharing small dishes type of eating.. but as an Asian.. I&#8217;m really used to that style of eating.</p>
<p>lol<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Anyways&#8230; to the food&#8230;<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
(Oh by the way the boss is<strong> Bernie</strong>! Way friendly guy!! <img src='http://www.kluublog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
The first dish we ordered was the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Mahshi</strong></span> - which is a lamb mince, rolled in cabbage leaves and topped with a spicy tomato sauce. It had a really nice herbal and spicy aromatic flagrance.. though to me.. it smelt like that noodle dish at that urumqi restaurant I went to&#8230; a sort of B.O. smell.. lol.. I&#8217;m sorry Bernie!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1077" title="snc01012" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01012-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01012" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
We had <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>warm olives..</strong></span> which I thought it was gonna be something different.. But it literally was warmed olives. LOL.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1074" title="snc01011" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01011-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01011" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Then we had the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Field Mushrooms</strong></span>. OH MY GOODNESS!! This was DELICIOUS! Imagine a big portobello mushroom, topped with fetta, dill, butter and garlic.. Just delicious! It has this really nice aromatic nutty flavour to it. Perfect!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1078" title="snc01018" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01018-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01018" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
Absolutely perfect! mmmmmmmm &#8230;&#8230; Oh gosh.. i&#8217;m hungry just thinking about it.The mushrooms were kinna crispy on the outside, but so juicy and yummmm!! :P~<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
Then we had the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>chargrilled Quail</strong></span>.. It was nice.. I like quail.. it&#8217;s nice and tender.. though the taste of this particular dish tasted like charcoal chicken.. but then again.. it is chargrilled. LOL&#8230; the quail was served over a bed of baby spinach.. Yum!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1079" title="snc01015" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01015-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01015" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
The final dish we had was the filler which was the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Vegetarian Claypot</strong></span>.. which I totally forgot the name! LOL It was really interesting.. Rice mixed with macaroni, topped with beans and the spicy tomato sauce on top.. at first it was quite bland.. but after mixing in the tomato sauce.. oh it was nice!! and really filling!!</p>
<p>Like really nice!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1080" title="snc01020" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01020-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01020" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
mmmmm&#8230;. Oh did I mention, I couldn&#8217;t go anywhere without a glass of Red. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cabernet Merlot from Barossa Valley</strong></span>, South Australia.. mmmmmmm yummmmmmm!!!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1081" title="snc01022" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01022-768x1024.jpg" alt="snc01022" width="461" height="614" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
For dessert&#8230;. they ran out of dessert that night.. so as a treat, they gave us complimentary turkish delight, which was sooo good!! and also arabic coffee, but I had the arabic peppermint tea because I don&#8217;t drink coffee (I&#8217;m not good with caffeine).</p>
<p>The <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>turkish delight </strong></span>was sooo much better than the one we had at that turkish place!! So nice and not too sweet at all!! ..</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1082" title="snc01034" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01034-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01034" width="614" height="461" /></p>
<p>(ok.. I forgot to take a photo of the Turkish delight.. but that&#8217;s one little one left.. along with some olives left.. the teapot and a glass of water. hehehehe)<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
The<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> peppermint tea</strong></span>?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1084" title="snc01023" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01023-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01023" width="614" height="461" /></p>
<p>(ohh crapp&#8230; so dark&#8230; but these were the tea cups, which reminded me of that glass they used to hold that potent Turkish drink &#8230;. ickyyy)<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
OMGoshh.. it was TOOO GOOODD!! It was sweet.. and I think I saw him crush the peppermint leaves with some honey and the actual tea.. and they were served in these really cute little pots..</p>
<p>The Arabic Coffee actually smelt really good&#8230; But unfortunately didn&#8217;t get to try it&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1083" title="snc01026" src="http://www.kluublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/snc01026-1024x768.jpg" alt="snc01026" width="614" height="461" /><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>VERDICT: 4.5 out of 5</strong></p>
<p>Actually a really good place! And really secretive! The food is really interesting and the service is TOP NOTCH! The service simply was just too great! The best service I&#8217;ve ever come across! The boss actually was so nice to us! The food was good and it came out really promtly. The drinks bar was just in front of us, so it was good to see the waiter preparing our drinks in style.. A truly relaxing and beautiful place! YOU MUST GO THERE!</p>
