I was lucky enough to receive some Chinese confectionery from my friend Carina a few weeks ago, who had gone over there to discover a bit more about her family and where she comes from.


It's a lovely assortment of chocolates and jelly shots, all of which I'd never tried before.

As Asian junk food in general is not known to me, I have been intrigued and pleased with what I've had so far.

Until this.


Midway through my conquest of the lolly bag, I am attempting to eat a CORN flavoured jelly shot. The picture shows little corn cobs in a cream sea, see?

It won't open for me though... almost as if to say to me, "No, eat your dinner first, then me," or, "I'm too weird to eat, weeeird."

You will find out how it went tomorrow.

On another note, I will publish my movie review in a separate post shortly. It will not be neglected!

Watch If You Are The One on SBS2 at 8.30 tonight (so now if on Eastern time) if you have any interest in dating shows.

This one has 50 million viewers across China each week - and for good reason, it's pretty interesting. I discovered it last week and have actually gone back to it.

One guy has 24 potential dates and either has the choice of choosing or gets rejected by all of them.

I'd put a photo up but none of them are working. Trying to figure out if that's because of China's internet controls...

Anyway, watch.

Looking into the mirror and disliking the self that you take with you everywhere you go is one of the most self-defeating things you can do.

No-limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative, and do anything that makes sense to them.
