2011-04-22T21:06:00.001+08:00

I think I need a more 'grown-up' blog.

Something simple.

Something nice(r).

and I need to take more photos.

I think I'm losing touch.

hmm..

Till my new blog, then.

love.

The Peak, yo!

2011-04-12T22:01:00.004+08:00

10th April 2011.

I made it to the peak of Mount Santubong!!

Okayy...WE made it.

The eleven of us.

Half of us girls!!

**prouddddd**

Approximately 3,000 feet high.

4 hours up and 3 hours down.

Not forgetting all the guys who helped us carried all our bags up and down!

Ooh..and I got a chance to wash my hands in a mountain top well. lol.

Cleanliness of water remains unknown though.

I am now sore to the bones and it happens to come with a terrible flu this time.

Not a good combination.

T_T

I wonder if the flu was from the well water. hmmm...

and photos are all stolen from Wilson's facebook.

The KL dude who managed to hike and snap hundreds of photos at the same time.

haha.

Pearly Green Tea Cupcakes.

2011-04-08T20:18:00.002+08:00

I realised it's about time for me to post something new.

haha.

This may not be the latest news,

but I finally had the chance to bake!

Green Tea Cupcakes with Green Tea and Cream Cheese Frosting.

Please excuse the shitty colour, although it is pretty close to the actual colour.

I promise it did not taste like shit. lol

Enough about cupcakes,

I shall get back to work!

Add oil, add oil!!

Ooooh...the current number of 'likes' on my Canon album is 390++

*gasps*

So awesome!

Real people liking my stuff without me asking them to!

So proud!

and yes, I'm that vain, I go check on the number of likes EVERY SINGLE DAY!

hahahahaha!!

I'm in the Spotlight, like OMG!

2011-04-05T23:03:00.006+08:00

OMG! They really did publish my photos!!

Seeing my name so huge in public..damn shy laaaa!!

lol~

They even included my crappy 'interview' thingy!

UNEDITED!!

like, OMG!!

I'm currently super shy yet kinda proud of myself.

muahahaha!!

Some more got more 'likes' than the previous fan spotlight.

tee hee...

Okay. Enough about that. Damn SS d..haha.

About today.

I met this super stubborn salesperson.

GAH!!

I ordered Honeydew+Chocolate Bubble Milk Tea,

(yes, my own concoction)

the lady insisted that the two flavours do not go well and refused to take my order!!

Sooooo damn annoyed!

pffttt.....!~

Am I the one drinking, or the salesperson??

and aren't customers ALWAYS RIGHT even when they're wrong??

Thus, I did not get to enjoy my bubble tea on this bloody hot day!

Furthermore, the office had a blackout when we got back.

BLARDYYYY HOT, I TELL YOU!!

T_T

Vintage Skin.

2011-04-01T00:01:00.002+08:00

This is definitely one of those really random things

I randomly blog about at random hours of the day.

So, here it is.

I absolutely love my wallpaper right now.

Like, absolutely, absolutely!

and I'm hungry.

*the end*

Goodnight!

Dying of Exhaustion.

2011-03-26T22:27:00.003+08:00

Hello, 608th post.

It's been a really long time.

I am so bloody tired words cannot describe.

It's been a real hectic week this week and

this shall be a really wordy post explaining my week's 'hecticness'.

Sorry, only a picture of my awesome dog, celebrating his 14th birthday yesterday.

and yes, he loves fresh cream! =P

Back to my crazily awesome hectic week.

Started of with signages and construction drawings

that have been going on for the last 3 weeks already.

Signage designs for the Bintulu building were finally done,

and please be reminded that 'construction drawings' mentioned here

refers only to the signages. NOT the whole building!

Just a few plastic pieces and we're already half dead doing the drawings.

haha.

The layout actually.

AutoCAD sucks.

blehhh...~

So, Monday Tuesday, gone.

Wednesday, another full day completing the signage set.

Then dinner at Kim Bay for Yen Chew's birthday.

Thursday was, omg. so crazy!

Worked till lunch,

drove out for lunch,

headed back to office to pack,

rushed back home,

showered, packed,

headed off to Inti for UK Edu Fair,

rushed home,

grabbed packed bag,

went over to Riverside Majestic,

helped arranged goodies for dinner,

dressed up,

attended PAMSC Gala Dinner 2011,

went back hotel room to camwhore,

went up to the 18th floor for VIP After-party,

met drunk Alvin (ex-lecturer), Dr. Tan Loke Mun, PAM President and Nippon Paint guy,

then headed back home at midnight.

*phew!*

Friday was an awfully sleepy day for me.

I almost died trying to stay awake in the office.

Not forgetting to mention I arrived an hour late to work.

Helped made trees,

helped photographed models,

helped doing slide layouts,

went home,

showered,

napped,

went out for dinner,

waited an hour for food,

had food,

got home,

watched an episode of Pretty Little Liars

(my current favourite show),

and finally KO-ed.

Saturday, today,

oh, so tiring as well!

Probably my first time missing Earth Hour since it started a few years back.

Darn it!

Attended the PAM Design Forum at BCCK from 8am up till 5pm,

and was on duty at the PAM booth till 9pm.

Soooooo tiring!!!

and now it's 10:40pm.

I think I'm gonna go KO in a bit.

Another full day at the PAM Booth tomorrow!

*faints*

Harley, Baby!

2011-03-05T20:48:00.002+08:00

Met a group of Harley bikers on the way back home from 127 Hours at Spring.

They kinda reminded me of Wild Hogs. or was it Wild Dogs?

Old dudes that are just happy to be on wide empty roads with their huge ass bikes.

haha.

Anyway,

finally had the time (friends) to go China shopping with me. lol.

and 127 Hours was not as bad as expected!

I guess it was even better than Black Swan.

Black Swan was a disappointment.

=.=

Oh, well....

trailers usually cheat.

blerghh..~

Bunny Ears.

2011-02-28T22:42:00.002+08:00

You know, when you watch in movies...

(because it hasn't applied to me yet)

When people are all married and the universe is trying to tell them that they are ready for kids, every corner they turn they'd bump into some super cute baby/kid.

Well, I think the universe is trying to tell my that I'm ready for a new dog!

hahaha.

This is like mad cute, no?

But seriously, I've been seeing cute dogs and puppies almost EVERY SINGLE CORNER I TURN!

I must be THAT desperate.

T_T

After a very disappointing deal with an equally disappointing person,

I want a new puppy even moreeeee!!!

To my dear unknown and probably non-existing readers,

if you have any puppies to give away,

GIVE MEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(yes, i'm serious.)

and i will love you very much for that.

lol.

Jellyfish.

2011-02-27T20:54:00.004+08:00

Random jellyfish shots from Melbourne Aquarium.

I call them my National Geographic shots. lol.

That's why I love zoos and aquariums.

You can probably tell I'm running out of photos and things to blog about.

I'm so deprived of outings, events, shopping, travelling, exploring...

T_T

2011-02-26T20:03:00.004+08:00

omaigod im so annoyed no words can describe.

okay maybe not that annoyed but still annoyed.

people and their broken promises. gah.

what people say about rules meant to be broken,

promises, not so much.

dont make promises you cant keep.

at least a simple sorry for not being able to keep it.

dont be a smart ass. that's just plain annoying.

oh, not forgetting childishness and picking fights.

thats just...hilarious.

anyway

this goes out to anyone who thinks they have broken any promises.

im just here to express my annoyance.

i shall have chuck and blair to calm my senses.

goodbye.

240211.

2011-02-24T19:32:00.003+08:00

I want more accessoriessssss!!

but I'm so broke right now.

ooh...March 2nd is coming!

gotta save, save, save!!

tee heeeee...

2011-02-20T20:03:00.000+08:00

VdayVdayVday.

2011-02-15T11:46:00.005+08:00

Yesterday was my very first Valentine's celebration

and honestly,

I've never really cared about the occasion.

Roses aren't my favourite

and too many stuffed toys just collects dust.

(I'm sounding like a grouch now. haha)

P.S - My favourite are Gerber Daisies. =P

Okay. Back to yesterday.

It just so happens that we're a bunch of single people

and the next day happens to be a public holiday!

So what better reason to go out lepak till late night if not for Valentine's?

Dinner was at Tarot

and we played games for quite a while waiting

for the lovebirds to be done pak-toh-ing

before we volunteered to be lamp posts.

and I don't remember a time when I was so unlucky

to slide down the snake every single time I'm close to winning.

grrrr...!~

and not forgetting Hannah Montana UNO Cards! lol.

Karaoke was up next but who would've guessed that it would be fully booked on Vday.

I wonder what's so fun with singing sappy love songs in a room with your boyfriend/girlfriend on Valentine's.

Either that or Kuching still has tonnes of single people all emo-ing in Kboxes.

muahahaha.

(btw, we are not under the emo-single-people category cuz we're awesome.)

Spot the odd one out. lol

Final stop, Station 1.

Got super loaded with Chocolate Ice Cream

and my friends said I embarrass them

(Where can you find friends like that, I wonder?)

when I asked for extra whipped cream and taught the waiter how to take orders.

hahaha.

All in all,

it was another awesome night out with the girlfriends!

I think we should make it a tradition.

In a relationship or not,

Valentine's Day shall be spent with girlfriends instead of boyfriends

or the boyfriends just have to join us girls.

Much love,

xo.

Eighty-threeth.

2011-02-13T11:34:00.004+08:00

Celebrated my grandma's 83rd birthday last night

and typos on cakes are funny.

Eight-threeTH.

Reminds me of my cousin's fourple.

Single, double, triple, FOURple.

Oh, we're such cute people!

haha.

and this conversation actually took place

Aunty A: Eh, this year you're Form 5 is it?

(Aunty B laughing at the back)

Me: Huh? Oh, no lah. This year Form 4 only.

Aunty: Oh. Form 4 ah. Ok lah. Still quite free. Form 5 only exam.

Then I got smacked by my other aunty.

hahaha.

Was my aunty playing along with me, or do I really look that young?

That remains a mystery but I shall continue to syiok sendiri.

BAHAHA!

2011-02-11T21:33:00.004+08:00

Hello my beloved yet abandoned blog,

CNY's almost over and I have no nice shots.

This was my best attempt and blogger just made it look uglier.

Sad case.

Furthermore,

I don't even know whether my film has any photos on it.

Yet to be developed.

sighhh...

Oh, and I've been sighing so much lately

my mom says it'll make me grow old faster.

haha.

Okay,

I'm just rambling as usual.

Till next time.

The Five Bs and Friends.

The dog's been really sick today

and I pray nothing bad will happen throughout tonight.

Amen.

Of Hello and Goodbye.

DNA CNY Dinner 2011.

Say hello to my colleagues!

(omaigod, i have colleagues now!)

*gasps*

and goodbye to quite a few who're leaving after CNY.

Technically, they left already.

Sadness...

Nice knowing you all!

Looking forward to new trainees so I will no longer be the junior there.

hehe.

Week Two and the Weather.

2011-01-27T20:58:00.003+08:00

Today's the second last day of week two at work

and I swear I've never done so much colouring before in my life!

lol.

Plus, today's weather was crazy hot!

like HOT hot!

Check out the shadow.

That's natural lighting, yo!

Not some artificial fluorescent tube lighting. haha

THAT was how bright and hot it was.

and I indoor some more, okayyyy..

damnnnn hot lorrr...

Back to work.

Today is the second last day of work,

then I'll have a week off for CNY!

YAYness!!

Kay, that's all I wanted to say. haha

anddd..the photo was taken with my phone, unedited!

Got depth of field worr..

Awesome much?

and me sounding so cinabeng all of a sudden

must be because CNY is soooo near already.

hehhh..

First Weekend.

2011-01-22T00:48:00.003+08:00

Tonight's Friday!

Well, technically it's Saturday already since it's past midnight.

Despite the fact that I did not go out lepak malam tonight,

it's still awesome because I get to stay up late! haha.

Been sleeping at 1130pm for the past nights since I started work.

8-5 life is no fun.

Anyhoooo,

first week of work is over,

and I think I'm gonna like it there.

Boss: Can you send me the 3d? Don't have my thumbdrive. Send it by email.

Me: Okay. What's your email?

Boss: My name. Gmail.

Me: Err...okay..what's your name?

My boss wanted to slap me. LOL.

Visited Siniawan earlier this evening

and it was not too bad.

I love the deteriorating buildings though.

Photos soon!

(but I should probably start sketching)

Side note:

According to Picasa, I currently have 1628 photos on my blog already

and this is my 590th post.

Black, White, Black, Butterfly.

2011-01-14T00:37:00.001+08:00

2011-01-13T20:43:00.002+08:00

Rain, rain go away.

Okayy..I'm actually loving the rainy days here

because I've been getting to wear my pink boot A LOT!

(yes, yes..me and my pink boots. again. tee hee.)

Not forgetting, my rain jacket as well!

But back to the main point.

It's been gloooooooomy for the past 3 days already

and the gloominess is just getting gloomier by the day.

Plus, the rain and the humidity isn't helping with the laundry.

Grrrr....~

I miss having a dryer. lol.

So, dear Sun,

can you please come back from your vacation?

Space Lady.

2011-01-11T14:46:00.001+08:00

Tiny traffic police woman in an oversized helmet.

Too cute.

2011-01-10T10:59:00.002+08:00

Got my bunny ears, my rainbow nails and my photowall!

Currently waiting for Liyana to fetch me and I'm sooooo bored.

Twentysecond.

2011-01-09T20:42:00.005+08:00

thank you.

2011-01-05T23:11:00.000+08:00

So,

today I had the first job interview of my life, as tweeted a few hours ago. lol

I think I screwed up in some parts.

For example, my expected salary.

Still hoping to get a job in KL or Singapore though.

*fingers crossed*

and everytime I look at this photo,

it kinda makes me imagine how we'd all be like maybe 5 years from now.

Camwhoring after some corporate meeting.

Professional much?

haha.

An NYE Photoshoot.

2011-01-02T21:08:00.003+08:00

Of rainbows and friends.

Random photoshoot organised in the last minute around our beloved CatCity.

Despite the NYE traffic, our specially elected driver stuck with us with no complains.

tqvm.

Spot Nanam's hilarious facial expressions!

Junior camwhore in training. lol.

Cheers to friendship of a decade and a half with more to come!

Looking forward to an awesome year ahead!

and also to more comments on this lonely blog of mine.

haha.

An NYE photoshoot.

Models: Netta, Sherman and the beloved little monkey.

The first and last two shots are my personal favourites.

Blame blogspot for the low resolution photos. grrrr..!~

Anyhooooo,

Shots with the rainbow umbrella is up next!

The Wedding Series.

Mr & Mrs. Choong.

(sorry I'm really bad with Chinese names despite the groom being my own cousin. =.=)

and yup! this was where I spent my Christmas this year!

It was sort of an 'upside down' wedding.

lol.

We had the dinner first,

then the ceremony next.

My second attempt on wedding photography.

(I wasn't the official photographer, thus all the candids)

But I should've been hired as the official photographer.

Fees would be wayyyyyyyyy cheaper for equally awesome photos!

haha.

Tea ceremony at the bride's house.

Don't you think this lady's just so cute?

I thought she was so cute I took tonnes of shots of her. lol.

She reminds me of someone from Harry Potter, but I can't seem to figure out who.

hmm..

Bride's Maids, I assume.

Ooh, I love this shot!

and this one!

So candid!

Arrival at their new home.

My G11 has served me well, I must say.

and I self-praise too much. haha

But no one reads my blog anyway.

Now, seriously.

Who wants to pay me to shoot their wedding next?

The Wedding Ring.

2010-12-30T01:26:00.004+08:00

Post processing done,

and photos will be up soon!

Now, who wants to hire me to shoot their wedding next?

271210.

2010-12-27T23:14:00.002+08:00

Yesh! I'm back!

Back from the trip and back from Netta's Christmas/New Year dinner,

monkeying around with the little monkey.

It totally sucks when I'm not in control of my own plans.

But oh, wellllll....

Screw ruined plans.

Imma make this year end awesome

and 2011 even more awesome!

I guess that was indirectly my new year resolution.

251210.

2010-12-25T20:55:00.003+08:00

Christmas this year did not feel like Christmas at all.

It was filled with weddings and a lotttttt of new faces.

lol.

But the good news is,

I think my attempt with G11 was quite successful!

Photos soooooon!

Merry Christmas, y'all!!

Bowling Caroling Gathering.

2010-12-22T13:28:00.003+08:00

Bowling session with Netta, Nanam and the siblings the other day!

3 games for RM10.

No wonder I never bothered to bowl in Melbourne. lol.

I think I just got more kiam siap now.

Big numbers on Malaysian price tag isn't helping very much.

Attended St. Thom's caroling session at Hock Lee later in the evening

to give moral support to our beloved Nic and Grace!

and guess who came along?!

Mandy finally joined us for a night out after sooo many years!

Off to Penang reallll sooooon...

Gonna attempt wedding photography with G11 while I'm there.

Fingers crossed for awesome photos!

See you guys in 2011!

xoxo.

Oh, and as you can see,

no bangs for me.

Apparently my face too round and

bangs will just make it rounder.

2010-12-18T11:34:00.002+08:00

Sovereign Hill, Ballarat.

Yes, I'm running out of things to blog about

but doesn't the 'Please Do Not Feed Animals' and

a couple of sheeps remind you of the flesh-eating sheep movie Black Sheep?

haha. so random, I know.

Anyway, I'll be off to Penang in a few more days!

YAY to that!

More food to stuff myself with.

and maybe bangs for my hair?

hmm...

View from the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower, Melbourne.

Maybe I should just start a photo blog

since I've developed a laziness for writing.

2010-12-15T19:43:00.000+08:00

I'm back in Kuching!

(in case you haven't noticed.)

Have been for the past 5 days,

and finally met up with everyone (almost) last night.

Christmas is near!

and we're all feeling awesome!

Headed to the new section of Waterfront after dinner

and got a shot from across the river.

Pretty!!

Side note:

I found a Holga shop in Kuching

and the TLR looks tempting.

hmmm.....

So many things I want,

it's depressing.

lol.

The OMtwo. Roll #1.

2010-12-13T15:55:00.005+08:00

Finally got my first roll of film from the OM2 developed!

Thank goodness the pictures are all looking good.

50mm f1.4 on film is just so awesome.

Looking forward to my second roll!

Oh! and no signs of fungus nor dust!

tee hee..

By the way,

does anyone know where to develop B&W film in Kuching?

hmm...

Had my first game of pool in Melbourne with Cassie the other day.

$10 per hour and we were so excited that we came at the right time!

Some anniversary promotion.

As I was speaking my usual 'rojak' language,

someone asked me,

"Excuse me, what language do you speak?"

haha.

Brunch with the gang.

It's been a really really really really long time since we all met up;

with Najat all the way from Tassie,

Clem all the way from Sydneyh!

and some all the way in Gold Coast.

jealous, jealous!

But VIP Sale all the way in Chadstone was fun!

Should've bought loads more stuff!

Grrrr...!~

Of Beef Burger and New Shades.

And I remember,

I will never be alone.

Screw them hostile people.

haha.

2010-11-21T19:29:00.002+08:00

2010-11-19T19:57:00.002+08:00

Yet another Friday night spent at home.

I really really really really really really really really

really really really really really really really

wanna go out dancing!

Pretty in Pink.

2010-11-17T16:51:00.003+08:00

It sucks, doesn't it?

When someone's going on and on about something you don't really wanna know about

but secretly you do

and yet when they go on about it

the voice inside your head just screams wishing that they'd stop.

Of Rock and Summer.

2010-11-16T21:06:00.003+08:00

Effects of being indoors for too long.

I go crazy with boredom.

and shoes.

Me new baby is yet to be taken outdoors.

I want the sun and warmth and party!!

2010-11-15T09:44:00.004+08:00

November has been quite a happening month so far.

There are so many things left unblogged, I don't even know where to start!

hmm..

It's so tiring updating on each and every single event.

Blerghh..~

But the most recent one would be the Brazillian Festival at the Immigration Museum,

which happened yesterday.

haha.

No hot young Brazilian guys though.

But we Zumba-ed!

I'm so gonna get the DVD and Zumba myself at home.

I wonder if Malaysia has Zumba already..hmm..

then we participated at the Kids' Corner

and made our own carnival headgear!

I love mine!

and the colours!

and the feathers!

muahaha..

and camwhore.

Ritual, as usual.

The festival, the people, the music and the dancing..

made me wanna fly to Brazil right at that moment!

I can't wait till the day I travel the world!

2010-11-12T22:15:00.001+08:00

Great Ocean Road Trip.

900 photos down to 60 photos.

pheewww...!~

Torquay

Random stops along the way,

Split Point Lighthouse

Lorne,

Apollo Bay,

The 12 Apostles.

Too tired for more details.

Enjoy!

Festival of Lights.

2010-11-05T22:12:00.002+08:00

Since I can't seem to find an appropriate photo of the group,

(there's bound to be something that can't be posted to public on each photo.)

here's a relevant photo from my ever-ready model.

Just got back from an awesome Deepavali pot luck

at one of Liyana's friend's place.

Had tonnes of muruku and is now so blardy bloated.

T_T

Met new people,

(surprisingly, considering my anti-socialness. haha)

debated on the level of 'kesatuan' in Malaysia and Indonesia,

debated on the pros and cons of Iphones and Ipads and BBs,

(damn wu liao lorrr...)

and had loads of awesome home-cooked food!

Owhh,

and I just realised

I'm too unpatriotic sampai orang pun tak sangka I'm Malaysian.

Dangg...!~

Anyway,

Happy Deepavali!!

By The Beach.

2010-11-03T21:24:00.004+08:00

Been quite a while since I've post-processed/edited

my already nice photos into nicer photos.

haha.

Sorry, syiok sendiri.

A series from St.Kilda Beach.

Best place for silhouettes shots so far.

and sunsets, on nice sunny days.

Gay Sharks and Seals.

2010-11-03T14:35:00.010+08:00

221010.

A day spent with stinky birds, dolphins and seals out in the open sea!

Probably the awesomest trip in Aussie!

Started off with a walk from home all the way to Geelong main station

and the awesome bus driver gave us student priced tickets

so our trip that day only cost $1.80!

Arrived 3 hours before our boat was scheduled to head off.

Registered and camwhored with the Happy Hats!

3 hats for $50.

Us being kiam siap,

camwhore only lorr..

lol.

Brunch at this 'recommended' place.

It sucked.

Farm Foods Beef and Red Wine Sausages with field mushrooms, mashed potato, caramelised onions and relish - $19.50

Chicken & Mint Noodle Salad with Thai Lime & Chilli Dressing - $20.50

For those who know me,

I cannot resist dishes with mushrooms, onions, mashed potato and mint.

And from what we imagined,

or I imagined,

Beef and Red Wine Sausages,

for that price,

would've at least came with

a piece of steak and sausages with

loads of mushroons and potato and onions!

Or maybe 2 huge-ass German sausages will do.

Secondly,

Chicken and Mint Noodle,

I imagined noodles made of mint-flavoured flour. Green noodles!

but nooo...

all we got was a small pathetic dish of raw bee hoon with lime and chilli dressing.

That, for $20.50!

Our $39.50 worth of breakfast was a total disappointment!

Grrr...~

That was the only sucky part from the whole trip.

Thank God.

We had awesome weather that day as well!

24 degrees maximum, if not mistaken.

Finally we got all suited up,

and off we go!

Damn excited

and I love love love the boom deck!

(i think it's called the boom deck.)

Anyway,

we just call it the net.

haha.

First stop,

Pope's Eye.

Damn stinky stop.

This was also our first snorkelling spot.

Regretted going in the water at that time.

It was so bloody cold!

Imagine swimming in a pool of iced water.

Correction.

Imagine FLOATING in a pool of iced water.

The flippers were so damn stiff,

I could hardly move.

All I did was hang onto this banana-shaped float

and let the instructor drag me along.

hehe.

But was disappointed.

All I saw were seaweeds and dull fishes.

All that energy kicking and swimming in iced water wasted!

Next were dolphins!

Dolphins on these trips are not guaranteed.

All of us had to keep our eyes wide open to help spot for dolphins.

We were lucky that day.

This German couple on our boat spotted some dolphins

and we spent the next hour chasing them

trying to go ahead of them so we could jump in and watch them swim past us.

(yes, that's the 'swimming with dolphins' part. lol.)

"Look, gay sharks!"

Damn potong very few people got my gay shark caption on Facebook.

=.=

Anyway,

I didn't go jump in and watch them swim past us.

I was all warmed up already after the first snorkel

I didn't feel like getting wet again.

Final stop was another stinky one.

The seals.

Big, fat seals!

and yes,

again I did not bother to jump in and swim with them.

I was a bit seasick already by that time

and the sun just felt so good while I was lying on the boat's roof.

After the seals,

we headed back to the harbour,

or pier?

hmm..

On the way back,

the instructor taught us some really cool tricks!

Rope riding was my ultimate favourite!

(watch the video at the end. I look weird and ignore them laughing at me.)

All the seasickness just vanished once the adrenalin started pumping.

Lastly was a small picnic and camwhore session on the observation deck.

More like camwhore session for the two guys.

Damn poser. haha.

I just sat, ate and watched.

The Lady Gaga-Bad Romance + seal clap pose.

And these are a couple of wu liao ang moh kias cycling into the water.

Apparently, they tied weights onto their bikes in order to attempt to cycle underwater.

It was funny to watch their bike sink and they,

diving in one by one to loosen the weights and rescuing their bike.

haha.

Video of me rope riding!!

Wheeee...!!~

Ooh!

and lemme explain how hardcore was our holiday.

The day before was MART, as posted.

8am MART trip was followed by a trip to

Melbourne Uni,

the Shrine of Remembrance,

the Royal Botanical Gardens,

St.Kilda beach for penguins,

and back to the city for dinner!

Headed back to Geelong on the 11pm train,

and the dolphin trip began at 7am the next morning

up till 9pm that night.

Next up will be the G.O.R trip!

Another 7am - 10pm trip.

3rd trip in a row

and 500 more photos to filter!

021110.

2010-11-02T14:55:00.002+08:00

Today I went window shopping with Febbie!

Been ages since I've last randomly picked tonnes of clothes to try on.

lol.

Gonna go over to Liyana's place in a while.

I'm such a nomad this holiday.

2010-11-02T08:37:00.002+08:00

311010.

My official goodbye to 52, Kilgour Street.

Finally finished packing the last few things to be moved to the city

after already doing at least 4 trips back and forth Geelong and the city.

I wonder how am I going to manage to move all my things back to Malaysia?

and have I mentioned I've already gotten rid of so so so many things?!

sighh..

Anyway,

I'm gonna miss my super duper comfy bed.

2010-11-01T09:34:00.005+08:00

20102010.

The day that marked the beginning of my soon-to-begin food tour in Melbourne.

This is just the warm-up and I feel fat already.

First stop,

dinner at No.1 Delicious,

serving Southern China dishes.

Possibly the best affordable Chinese food in the CBD?

Had Tea Tree Mushrooms with chicken and jelly noodles,

dumplings and some Chinese pancake thingy with spring onions.

This was also the place where I had the kung pao chicken that nearly made my head explode.

Since then, I vow not to order anything spicy from their menu.

lol.

Next stop,

Max Brenner, QV.

Apparently the second best chocolate place in Melbourne,

first being Koko Black where I absolutely loveeeeee their chocolate mousse!

Anyway, back to Max Brenner.

We had the Thick Italian Hot Chocolate that came in the hug mug. Cute!

The White Chocolate Chai Tea in some alien-ish plastic pot. lol.

and Dark Chocolate Mocha Frappe that came in the Alice cup! I like.

K. Pictures not clear enough to show the looks of the Alice cup.

Anyway,

I think my Mocha Frappe was a tad bit too strong.

I loved the bitterness but not the insomnia that came later.

I ended up sleeping at four in the morning

and waking up at six with my heart feeling like it's gonna pop any second.

All the hyperness made me walk over to Febbie's place at seven in the morning

in my pyjamies to go have a run in the gym.

haha.

Eight a.m,

and we're off to breakfast!

That was probably my third proper breakfast here in Australia.

I was never a breakfast person nor an early gym junkie.

It felt good,

then I felt slightly sick.

hmm..

Food stop #3:

MART 130, Albert Park.

Let's see...

this was our.. $70 worth of breakfast?

RM200 worth of breakfast!

O_O

The French Toast wasn't as good as expected though.

Mom's still the best.

But everything else was worth a try.

Like some say,

the place is just so cute!

Camwhoring in the middle of the tram tracks marked the end of our breakfast!

Headed back home to catch on some more sleep

before continuing on later in the afternoon.

I wasn't kidding when I said I was on a hardcore holiday.

Just wait and see.

Halloween.

2010-10-30T20:34:00.003+08:00

It's Halloween tonight,

I'm home alone

and the weather sucks.

Sad case.

But anyhooo,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

all the way from Melbourne!

tee hee.

So,

how cute is my incomplete Harry Potter-ish outfit?

and I sooo gotta learn how to do the smoky eyes myself!

Hello Blog.

2010-10-30T07:54:00.003+08:00

It's been nearly 2 weeks since I was officially finished with uni.

Hell loadsa things have happened!

And up till now..I think I have about 1000 photos to go through and filter and blog about!

...or maybe even more.

O_O

There was the dolphin and seals,

Great Ocean Road,

the market,

foooooood!

places in the city,

the house-moving,

Dandenong and scones,

the failed halloween,

and tonight,

the farewell.

Basically,

this is just a short note

to keep my blog alive for a bit.

haha.

Will update soon once I get all the photos!

Tonnes of potential profile pictures to look forward to.

Can't wait!!

Dear Blog.

2010-10-20T12:39:00.004+08:00

Today I finally got the chance to experiment on

'T-shirt reconstruction'.

It's gonna be a real quick post

as I'll be leaving to the bigger city in 10 minutes!

So,

here's the really-plain-with-ugly-neckline-shirt that I randomly grabbed for $3.

First, the neckline,

which now I absolutely love!

haha.

and some strips on the front.

I was kinda going for the asymmetrical thing,

but I don't think weaving look good asymmetrically.

So I unweaved it, and got my totally

reconstructed shirt!

haha.

Okay, not so cool,

but the point is,

I finally cut my shirt!

lol.

It's a bit flawed though.

Obviously.

But I shall attempt to sell it for $5 at the market this Sunday.

muahaha!

Or maybe $3 will do.

Anyway,

off I go!

Btw,

it's 20102010 today!

Go buy 4D or something!

2010-10-19T10:30:00.003+08:00

City of Towers, A+B Studio 2010.

Dear people-people out there,

I did not lose my G11!

It's still alive and taking awesome pictures, thanks to me!

haha.

Anyway,

How can you guys even imagine that?!

I would've probably died of a broken heart if that were to happen!

(exaggerating, but could happen)

To make things clear,

I lost the two AE-1s I was watching on Ebay.

I'm considering investing in film SLRs

because DSLRs are turning into fashion accessories,

and too many people have it already.

(kinda like the iPhone 4 case)

hahaha.

Okay, I'm just too poor to get either one for myself.

=.=

Oh, well...

Can't wait to be rich and drown myself in Apples and Cameras.

lol.

anddd...

if I were to lose my G11,

I doubt my blog would be sounding so hyped and excited these past few days.

Thought you guys knew me better.

now I'm heart-broken.

saddddd.......
