Adelaide #1

Wow, it's been here in Australia for a month and it's already the third week of class. Somehow I still feel so slack and lazy to start my assignments because there's so many works until the extend that I don't know where should I start from. I have already forgotten the feeling of studying after a long break since my diploma in Taylors last year. How awesome is that. The feeling of going back to school is so good although Im telling many people that I'm fear of going to classes here in Adelaide because most of the time I don't understand the lectures. The people here speaks so fast and Australians accent is completely different. They don't speak "lah" here. LOL. 

The things that make me happy here is I get to know people all around the world, met new friends and I have friends here who we taking care of each other. Trying to occupied with things like cooking, clean the house, shopping, go to the beach with friends so that I don't get home sick. There goes how I'm learning to manage my time better because everyday I have so many works yet so little time. Independent is the key now because there's no one I can rely on.

And I understand that's the reason why my parents sent me here. 

Part of me is happy to be here, and another part of me is missing home so badly. I miss my mom home cook dishes, I miss everyone who cares about me, I miss my friends, and I miss Vijin who came home and hug me every single day. I can never find anything that is much more valuable than all these memories. I can't wait to go home, but it's a long way to go. 

So anyway, the beach here in Australia is so beautiful and Py, jeslyn, Lee Yee, Eric and Mat, all of us go to the beach almost every week for tanning and probably this is the last week we can go to the beach because it's turning to autumn next week already :(

Aww, still remember how do I look like? LOL 


My sleeping beauty


Besides that, the dessert here in Australia is so much better than Malaysia although I'm not a dessert person but "Eggless" was pretty good to me. 


Molten green tea with chocolate pudding. Yums

Strawberry fondue at Chocolate bean


Shopping with girls is also one of the thing we do during weekends, just in case we don't turn to be a nerd studying most of the time. 


Lee Yee, My awesome roommate 

So anyway, it's quite challenging for me to stay here because everything is on budget. Everything here is expensive. And there you go, self discipline. 


Thanks for reading this and I'll be back with something better :)

Hellooooo

Hey hi, greeting here from Australia.


Picture during first day of class with Jeslyn. 

You know how time flies, It's been here for the third week and so far everything is fine. The only thing that kills me here is the weather, it can get really cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon and back to cold at night. Cold as in 10 degrees and it's still summer here in Australia. 

Anyway, it's been the third week and I started missing everyone back home, my parents, Vijin and friends who we used to talk so much cock at the mamak. And the food in Msia, especially dim sum, bah kut teh and chi cheong fun. Its like I can't find all these foods in Australia, even in China Town. Great, I can only eat them one year later. 

Studying in Australia is completely different than in Malaysia, especially their Australians accent and they speaks really fast English, just so you know. I was kind of paranoid during the first day I stepped down in Adelaide. Everything here is so different, the people, the weather, the foods and their culture. But so far, adapting to the new environment is not really that hard as I thought. *thankgod* And so, I'm so excited because Vijin is coming over next week and seriously I'm so lucky to have him who willing to spend so much times and efforts on me. I wouldn't want to ask more for it anymore. Looking forward so much for it. 

So yeah, that's all for today. Stealing the internet from Eric's, so sweet of him letting us to use his internet data. See ya!

Happy Chinese New Year


Hey!

Happy Chinese New Year in advance!
It's almost 2 am right now and I am staying in tonight because the amount of snacks I ate and the lack of sleep during CNY make me sick! Anyway, Taiwan and Thailand trip during the past few months with boyfriend was amazing enough. Although it was really tiring, but boyfriend really make the efforts to spend more time with me, bringing me to so many places before I leave to Adelaide. I really appreciate that! 


So blessed to meet the old friends again during CNY and the angpaus this year is the BOMB! 

CNY dinner with Tommy's family. His sister, Elena; whom everyone said we look like twin sister. 

Double date vacation to Thailand <3 

My boyfriend, the one who care about almost my everything.
I'm more than blessed to have him spending his precious time with me every single day, bringing me for holidays, taking care of my meals and health, surprise me with all that little stuffs occasionally. 

So right now, counting down to the day till I leave to Adelaide is like less than only 2 weeks. Finally back to reality, back to studies and no more slacking. Although I have so many reasons not to leave Malaysia right now, parents I need the most, friends I used to hang and play with, boyfriend who used to be with me every single day; really wonder how could I survive without all these when I'm in Adelaide? Oh well, people says life move on wherever you go. We shall see. 

Getting really paranoid now because staying away from home is never easy for me. Especially a person like me who don't know how to cook, who lives in daddy mummy's arm for the past 21 years. Studying in Malaysia is already tough enough for me, cannot imagine the amount of stress I'm gonna cope with studying in Australia. Hope you don't see me killing myself one day LOL. Anyway seriously, people says its a good opportunity studying abroad, but I believe everything has its pros and conts, example like I have to wash my own clothes, or cook myself everyday. I have to be a student and a housewife at the same time. 

Ok seriously, I can cry myself to sleep everynight from now on knowing that I'm leaving Malaysia so so soon. Hopefully 2 years later when I'm seeing this post, I can laugh at myself saying that everything is not as difficult as i thought. 


Good night!

Christmas #2011

Sorry, I know it's been a long time since I last blogged. 


So now, This is the first post for 2012. How's the new year doing so far for you? 
Finally, the new year has come by. I couldn't describe how much I wanna get over 2011 because that was the year that made me really upset about life, about living in this world. But now, I'm really proud of myself because I actually took the courage to moved on. The reason why I'm looking forward to 2012 because I'm pretty sure I wanna make some changes about it. A better one. I used to set many goals every year but only realized I actually only achieved one, or none. I know i've always been setting goals that is too far to achieve. So this year, I've decided to make it simple. 

Learn to be independent; Learn to care for family;  Learn to be compromise a little bit more, especially towards boyfriend because it's gonna be a long distance relationship for approximately 2 years time; AND most importantly, Be healthy. 

I know it sounds pretty easy, but I'm sure it take times for me to learn. 

So anyway, I know I've been slacking too much from blogging but here's my christmas updates for you guys. 

Place: Empire Gallery Subang Soho
Date: 24th December 2011 
Theme: Christmas 


Christmas hasn't been my thing at all for the past few years and the simplest celebration I had was having turkey at some random restaurant with my family. That's it. I've never been to count down during christmas because I feel so stuffy getting squeezed in the middle of crowd. But this year, I had quite a happening christmas spending my quality time with a bunch of friends who watch me growing up since 15. 

The boys trying to act cool before the party starts. 

Yayayyy. 

Stanley, A friend of mine who actually knows me very well. 
Along the years, I saw how he has been changing from a small boy to a man now. 

The boys and girls :D 

Me, Lee Vee, Hanna and Wan Xin. The girls. 

:) 

Ivan, a friend of mine who used to talk a lot of cock that doesn't make any sense to me ALL THE TIME. But he is a nice person afterall :) 

With the boy, Chee Ming. 

:D 

My babyboi who was sick during Christmas. 
I'm more than blessed to have him knowing that no matter how ill how busy he is, he will always make time and efforts for me :) I really appreciate that. 

He is the one who deserve more than I love you, THREE LETTER WORDS. 

Ben, who will always be here for me throughout the journey of my life. He seen me going through up and down in life, he saw how I break down, and yet he would cheer me up no matter what. 

Tian Ming, we were only friends since last year. 

Jia How and Jin Wei. 

Christmas party was quite amazing because celebrating with a bunch of people who you're really close with are a whole different story. Finally, we have officially mark a fullstop at 2011, and now its a total brand new year all over again. 

And, Obviously 2012 is gonna be really different for me. 
Living away from home, from the one I love, the one I used to rely on. 
I wonder if I can survive this all alone by myself. I really wonder...


But one thing I'm sure, I am gonna miss this place tremendously.

Getaway to Sekeping Serendah

Hi there.

Decided to blog now before I get lazy because I don't really make an effort to blog anymore lately. The motivation has gone to somewhere else. December has always be my favorite month of the year although I don't really party much, but maybe because it has finally come to an end to conclude everything over the year and I can't wait for a new start. 

Well, I am not sure if this post gonna shock you guys, but just keep reading it if you're the one who longing me to update my blog twice a month. *LOL* So anyway, I've been used to some people talk about little dirty stuffs behind me, but I'm really fine with it because normally those people who talk about me are those who don't know me. Ironic.  So, I don't really bother to care. (*just saying, so please keep reading HAHA*) 

Here it is: 

I'm not sure if I am always the one who can't handle my relationship properly or I've always met the wrong guy, so.. I'd always end up breaking up and says "He's not the one I want." Pathetic much. But from all the relationships I have had, I know that falling in love with someone is not an easy task where trust is always a major concern. I don't wanna be those girl who doubt their own boyfriend, get upset over petty little things then ended up suffocating myself. No, I can make this pretty clear because this is not what we are live for. Basically, happiness is the biggest motive why I am here. 

So, Love is all about now. 
And Im enjoying every single bit of it now with my love ones.


Anyway, boyfriend and I had our getaway to Sekeping Serendah last weekends to stay away from the city and I've totally know idea where it is. It was such a random plan out of nowhere, and so he decided to bring me here because both of us just talked about how tired to live in the city. Located at Serendah vicinity, deep into the jungle and it is a wonderful retreat far from the city. I was kinda amazed with the green architecture and, especially their glass shed. It was a private retreat with open sheds to the beauty nature, and it actually brings you closer to serenity of mother nature. Really amazing.

Sekeping Serendah Retreat

3/12/2011

Embraced the Nature. You must be wondered how the concept works. 

By the time we reached, its already about 6ish. 
So we waited till the next morning to explore more in the jungle. 

The group. We had barbeque and drinking at night. 

Seriously, can I ask if people barbeque eggs? 
My boyfriend is such a hero. 

I ended up throwing away his barbeque foods and we cooked in the kitchen. 

After dinner......
Silly boyfriend couldn't stop saying let's go in the jungle and have sex. So being a very nice girlfriend, I would have to stop him and find something to do. So we had our camwhore time with my new toy- DSLR and trying to act as cute as possible. #1 shot

#2 shot. Awwwwwwwww.........

#3 shot. Can you see what is that! 

He ended up watching some random Singaporean drama on the bed disappointedly because he failed convincing his girlfriend to have sex in the jungle. *HAHAHAHAH* 

Camwhore #4 shot. Sleepy heads

Jungle treks.
Boyfriend and I supposed to wake up at 6 the next morning to catch the sunrise, but you know right...the environment, temperature, the nature are just PERFECT to sleep. So we woke up at 10 and it was err pretty hot. 

Swimming pool. Natural water. 

We also went to the Timber Shed, almost everything are recycled items. 

Open concept toilet, can you overcome it? 


Open concept bathroom of Timber Shed. 

The room is so comfy.

One of my favorite picture #5 shot. 

#6 shot. Nothing's better than having him around, holding me tight. 

#7 shot. It isn't just for the beginning. 

#8 shot. He use to carry me like this all the time. *shyyyy* 

 Smilesssss. 

After jungle trekking, we both decided to cook for our own. 
You have to see how healthy this boy eat, he eats veges and tomatoes alot. 

Pure vegetables and tomatoes. 
My boypren eats vegetables everyday, 3 days a meal. 
Guess what! I'M FOLLOWING HIM TOOOO @_____@
(If only you're my friends, you'd know how much I hate eating them!!!) 

Boyfriend's favorite picture. *Shyyy* 


Anyway, this is a good place where you can rest your piece of mind and stay away from the city; You can experience a life without Internet, Television, Radio or even phone signal. So you can guess how peaceful it is. Especially my boyfriend who keep receiving calls all the time, I wish he could stay there foreverrrrrrrrrr.

All I can say is it is worth visiting this place to keep your mind free. 

See ya!
