Asyura & Mullet's gone!!!

hi hi, just now I had some bubur asyura aka asyura porridge, which celebrated the Awal Muharram. Its cooked by lots of volunteers (I didn't join in though, too many cooks spoil the broth, no? XD)

Lemme tell you a bit of history of bubur asyura. Its dated back to Nabi Nuh aka Noah's time, where after the huge flood, the ark landed, and all the survivors (love! XD) shared their food, so they collected all various of ingredients and cook them, and had the meal together~

anyway, the interesting part is, the porridge that's cooked just now was kinda weird to my eye. here, I took a picture of a "slice" of it (yup, its porridge and it can be sliced!)
ok, the interesting parts:
first of all, the color, its brown! compared to the bubur asyura that I'm familiar with, its supposed to be kinda white-ish. this is the bubur asyura that I've always eaten:


2nd, the texture, its reaaally solid and not very much like porridge (like the pic above), therefore, it could be slice, and its way of serving is really it being sliced and been given out. reaaaally Weiiird!

3rd, the taste! its super sweet with a huge boom of herbs and spices, maybe too much for my taste, but its still a good change of taste.

aah~ I really miss the bubur asyura that I'm familiar with~~

anyway, a quick review on Survivor:Samoa (spoilers-ridden!!)
1. Shambo hair issue

seriously, keeping a mullet since 1986? thats the year I was born! how scary and disgusting that fact is! and when Jeff asked her about the hair, she kinda answered something like, "oh you don't change PERFECTION" I totally went WTFudge!!?? also, its funny when Russell made fun of the hair by saying the mullet is so disgusting and bushy that Shambo could stash her food in her hair (banana, pieces of coconuts and peanuts! lol), and I seriously grimaced at the sight Brett massaging Shambo's head by the campfire, seriously, who would wanna get their hands into a dirty, never-been-washed-for-a-month, smelly, huge, curly, mullet??

2. Challenges
love them both: reward and immunity. the coconut game was cool! and the counting stuff one was taken from Survivor: Guatemala I think.

3. Immunity and tribal council!
Brett won! yay for the only remaining ex-Galu member~ Shambo been voted off, all proud and mullet. She didn't even blame ex-Foa foa's blindsiding her, so naive! and Russell keeping the idol as souvenir~ lol, I really hate to love him, but he's reaaally a great survivor player. I won't be surprised if he won, or he could get over-confident and get de-throned.

oh, and LOTS of people were wondering about when would the "family members" reward would be? and where's the car challenge? I really wanna see if the Survivor car curse is broken this season!
anyway, thats all for now~ can't wait for the FINALE! 2 days to go!!!!!
