My Holidays (Part 1)

Holidays have been awesome!! Feel like I am living in heaven now ;) Well basically (quoted from Dr Wong) my holiday is all about eat, sleep & travel....
so...what have I been doing so far? There you go....

27th of November
Headed off to Melbourne, Australia.The main purpose of this trip was to bring back my things which I left a year ago..

28th of November
Arrived Melbourne! It was summer there. Took a taxi to Karen's new house in Boxhill. Melbourne didn't seem to change much. I met Karen finally!!! Gave her a big bear hug:)
Met Auntie Soo and Richard as well. Had our lunch in Boxhill Centro. Thanks Auntie Soo for the lunch!
Helped Karen to move her stuffs and then we went back to Mount Waverley. Was glad to see Maureen (my ex-landlady).
Justin came over to our place in the afternoon. Had a good chat with him until dinner time. It was a shame he couldn't join us for dinner :(
Had our dinner in a Szechuan restaurant, Glen Waverley. Was my first time trying Szechuan food..love it!


Szechuan dish.. "squirrel fish"

29th of November
Off to Melbourne Central..carried out my first shopping mission..lol.. My mission was unsucessful..only managed to buy a dress :( but I did bump into someone I know (you know who you are..lol...small world!)
Had my dinner with Karen, Richard and Karen's cousin. We had Korean barbecue!! yummy!! I tasted ox tongue..for the first time in my life! It didn't taste bad..but I would say it had a unique taste :P

30th November
Richard drove us (me, Karen,Roy and Emily) to Mount Dandenong. On our way to the mountain,we stopped by at Ferntree Gully (hope I get the name correct) to feed the birds. I didn't really get to feed the bird because... 1) was scared of getting hurt by the bird's beak 2)was busy taking pictures :P

us..feeding the bird

Reached the mountain in the afternoon. Had our lunch in Miss Maple's restaurant! Once again we were overfed :D

nice food at Miss Maple's restaurant

After lunch, Richard dropped us off at Eastland shopping center. Fell in love with this place immediately ;) I was busy trying on new clothes from one shop to another..while Karen was busy looking for furnitures.


trying on a hat...lol

Left Eastland "reluctantly" :( It's a shopping heaven! You can find lots of nice stuff for reasonable price!)
At night, went out with David (one of my Aussie friends). In the car, I kept asking him where were we heading to. He refused to give me an exact answer (trying to keep me in suspense huh? :P ) Finally, we reached the "secretive" place-Knox City (thought he was going to drive me to sydney or perth..lol..) We had a few drinks in a bar. Went home late..feeling sleepy but happy!


our drinks...

A day well spent ;)

1st of December
Met my friend Martin in the city. Was one and half hours late (a big apology to him) Had our lunch in a shanghai restaurant. I was amazed by his "ability" to tolerate spicy food.... :P We walked around the city after lunch.

Next, met Karen at Myer. Had our afternoon tea at Max Brenner;) We were struggling to finish our chocolate fundae in the end! and we got so sick of chocolate :(

We left the city with a full stomach.. feeling guilty :(

2nd of December
My last day in Melbourne! we packed our luggages and headed off to the airport. Karen was taking the same flight back to Malaysia with me! She would spend about 5 days in Malaysia before going back to China. I waved goodbye to Melbourne SADLY.. :'(
After this melbourne trip.... I have gained 2 kg of weight :( AND...
I have fallen in love with melbourne all over again! sigh...Wish I have the opportunity to go back Melbourne again.

bored.... but still happy :)
why happy? one more week..one more week before I can meet my friends!!! Can't wait...seriously can't wait!! :)

How deep is my love??

This afternoon when I walked past a music store,a familiar voice caught my attention.I stopped and listened carefully...Then I recognised the voice...it was from the lead singer of my favourite boyband-WESTLIFE!!! I was hit by feeling of guilt immediately.I keep saying that I am a huge westlife fan but I haven't bought any of their latest album yet :(
Well,am I qualified enough to call myself a big westlife fan? I am not very sure..it's for you to judge ;) I have been their fan since I was in secondary school.I own six of their albums,their t-shirts(5 of them) and I went to their concert everytime they came to malaysia. There was once I travelled all the way to the uk just to watch their concert (ok..you can say that I am crazy :P ) Oh yeah...and I have their signature as well (my friend gave it to me during my birthday :D )
these are the albums I have....


their very first album


their second album COAST to COAST


third album...the album I love the most (some of the songs were composed by them)


their greatest hits


fourth album


the last album I have

and I am going to buy...


face to face album


you raise me up album


the love album


Back home...their latest album

message to my dad: sorry dad,I am going to cause a big hole to your wallet :P

After reading this post,what do you think? Do you still consider me as a BIG westlife fan? I hope so.... ;)

Shopping or Cam-whoring?!

haha...went shopping with Jia Lin..and we ended up cam-whoring :P

Exam is over!!!!!

Hiya...We meet again!As you can see from the big title...EXAM IS OVER!!!!This means I have finally regained my freedom...even though it will only be for a short while. Why did I say the freedom will only last for a short while? Well,I screwed up all my exams...so...I think there is a big probability I have to sit for the supplementary exams.I am not being negative but it is true.I could only answer half of the exam questions...and out of the questions which I could answer, only half of them I was absolutely sure about the answer. Therefore, I have a big chance getting less than 50%,which means I am going to fail my exams. Sigh....the only thing I can do now is to pray....pray that the passing mark won't be too high :(
Okay....enough of complaining...now let's shift our attention from the stupid exam to other topics!
So...what have I been doing past few days? Well,shopping was the very first thing I did after my exam...since I had gone through 2 months without shopping(not even window shopping)..TWO PAINFUL MONTHS!!! due to the amount of assignments and exams we had (lol...I am complaining again :P ) OKok..back to the post exam fun..so did I manage to buy anything? Yes..one pink top!!!It actually took me a while before I decided to buy the top...and I did regret for buying it (this happens to me all the time..I change my mind easily :P)Went for a movie with Jia Lin after the shopping frenzy. We watched "Bee Movie"!!! The movie was actually quite funny (our laughter was the loudest in the whole cinema :P)
On the following day, we went to Sunway Lagoon (one of the famous theme park in Malaysia) Although I didn't try all the different rides available there, I am still proud with my overall "performance"...haha.. I managed to overcome my fear of height somehow and attempted certain "daring" activities"..lol..We left the park in the evening,feeling exhausted and hungry. We headed to a nearby Mamak stall and had our dinner that.I had such a big appetite that I actually ended up eating two cheesy Naans and one plate of fried noodles(I only managed to finished half of the noodles though)
Alright...this has pretty much summed up part of my post-exam activities. Before I end this post, let's take a look at some pictures ;)

me and Jia Lin...
