From director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) comes the new action thriller PIRANHA 3D. Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break, a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the areas new razor-toothed residents. The film stars Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Steven R. McQueen (The Vampire Diaries), Elisabeth Shue, Jerry OConnell, Ving Rhames, Adam Scott, Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Lloyd, and Kelly Brook.

Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) is the no-nonsense sheriff of a small town which goes crazy with Spring Break, when hundreds of university students take a break from their daily routine in order to swim, suntan, have fun, drink and try to make out with somebody else at the shores of Lake Victoria. Matt Boyd (Richard Dreyfuss) has just died, having been eaten alive by the piranhas. But these are not normal piranhas. They have been freed by a small earthquake after millions of years, so they are much more agressive that their Amazone counterparts.

Julie insists that her older son takes care of his younger siblings, but unbeknowst to her, he pays them so that they would stay at home on their own while he goes out in the expensive yacht called the Barracuda with the girl he likes and some more young people. The owner of the yach is Derrick Jones (Jerry O'Connell) a stupid inmoral young man which happens to be very wealthy. Derrick has planned the trip in order to record the tits of the girls. Jake is the in-promptu cameraman of the trip, and he records them while they are swimming and diving completely naked.

Julie finds Boyd's corpse while he is with Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames). They way the gory corpse has been bitten is mysterious, so they'll try investigate it futher. They dive in the area surrounding and one of their party is killed. They rescue the remains and capture one of the piranhas, and they decide to show the fish to Mr Goodman (Christopher Lloyd) Even when at an aquarium, the piranha tries to bite them.

Meanwhile, Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen) is having fun at the Barracuda. When his mom calls, he says that he and his siblings Laura and Zane (Brooklynn Proulx and Sage Ryan) will watch TV all day. Meanwhile, his younger brother and sister have gone out to the lake in a small boat. They are left stranded in another side of the island because the tide has taken away their boat. One of the piranhas run after Laura while she is half inside the water because she has cut one of her feet, but she leaves the water just before the hungry piranha arrives, so that she remains unconscious about the rist they are taking.

Some time later, Jake sees them asking for help. Derrick cares only about recording a girl (Gianna Michaels) doing sky-diving naked, and tells Jake off because he isn't recording her especially when she is getting wet in the water. Jake threatens him with the fact that he's the son of the sheriff. As Derrick has been taking coke, he gets serious immediately.

Some officers try to tell the party-goers that they must leave the water, but they don't pay attention. They just jump into the water and keep on dancing and drinking.

Derrick tells the Barracuda captian (Gregory Nicotero) to go and rescue the children. Jake takes Laura and Zane aboard and the boat gets stuck in the rocky soil.

The piranhas attack by hundreds the stupid young people and a general panic ensues when it's too late and some of them have already been killed. When the survivors are out of the water, Jake phones his mother to tell her that the Barracuda is sinking. She runs with a small boat in their rescue. She throws a bit of rope to go to the Barracuda in the rocks.

Kelly (Jessica Szohr) is imprisoned in one of the cabin. Kelly is Jake's love interest. Julie wants everybody to leave the Barracuda and then she'll come back for Kelly. The piranhas can jump a little out of the water so they kill another of the girls but Zane, Laura and Julie reach the safety of the smaller boat. The pole to which the rope has been tied breaks, but it gets stuck in some of the railings of the Barracuda.

Jake's got a plan to rescue Kelly, who's inside the cabin hitting the jumping-out-of-the-water piranhas with a frying pan.

Jake throws Derrick's half-dead gory body to distract the piranhas. He swims tied to the rope to the cabin where Kelly's in. Then, he tells his mother and Fallon to pull them out. The boat does not work, so there are the typical seconds of emotion until Kelly and Jake are pulled out. All the piranhas follow them but the explosion Jake has created kill the piranhas anyway while Jake and Kelly are pulled out of the water and into the boat unharmed.

Julie talks to Goodman by radio and he tells them that the piranha she had left with him at his home is not fully developed, it's a baby. Everybody hears it and Fallon asks, "The babies? So where are the parents?" At that moment a huge piranha the size of half a peson jumps out of the water and eats him.

Melbourne Trip (Part 4)

2009-12-17T03:44:00.009+10:30

17.12.09

The next day, me and Simone are moving to our cousin's home as it's more convenient for us to get to the Nuffnang "Blue Christmas" at Terra Rossa which is at Melbourne CBD. Unfortunately, while we were moving to our cousin's home (with our luggage and laptop, of course!!!), it started to rain like 'cats and dogs'. In addition to that, we got down 1 tram stop too far and had to walk all the way back. By the time we arrived at my cousin's home, we are all 'wash up'. Hahaha... Therefore, we went for a warm shower straight away and get ready for the Nuffnang "Blue Chrismas".

These are the "blue blue" set that I'm going to where for the "blue blue Christmas". ^.^

This is me with my "blue blue" glasses and my "blue blue" shirt at Terra Rossa.

Simone with her "blue blue" dress...

We know quite a lot of bloggers through this "Blue Christmas" event. Not only did we know a lot of other bloggers out there (such as Super Kawaii Mama, Nicole, Akisa, and a lot more) but also exchanging our experience and knowledge as a blogger.

And this is Akisa from http://www.beautyswatch.com/

Soon after the party, me and Simone decided to go to "Chill on Ice Lounge". We choose the 'deluxe adult entry package' for AUD$40 each which includes:

•Entry to the Ice Lounge
•Rental of jackets, gloves and ugg boots
•Complimentary deluxe cocktail served in an ice glass
•Complementary Ice Shot – served through Ice Luge or in an ice glass

Mmm... This is my cocktail!!!

Ermmm... An ice dino???

Feel like having Thai food for lunch today. So, after met Kun near the Domain tram station; he bought us to Isthmus of Kra which is just nearby.

We ordered two dishes. The first one is Venison Wok-singed (Chicken version): $26.50.

Venison Wok-singed (Chicken version).

The second dish is Chicken Percik: $27.50

Chicken Percik

Coconut rice (per serve): $3.00

Bill, please!!!

After lunch, Kun went back to work while me and Simone went to the CBD to walk and shop around.

In front of Tea Too (T2) shop.

Varities of teapots.

Tiny tea for $7.

Tea bags?

Then, around 6-ish we went to meet Jin at China Town for dinner. After looking around, we decided to go to the Sichuan Restaurant for some spicy food. ^.^

Chef's recommendation?

Spicy beef slices pot: $24.

Drunken chicken (Top of the menu): $12

We order a tofu with crab meat as well (Top left hand side). Due to the size factor, it's hard to see what's written on the menu and I purposely underline it in red. It's written tofu with crab meat. And look at the next photo... Can't even find a slice of crab meat. SO DISAPPOINTING!!!

This is it. They should change it to vegetarian tofu or tofu with mix vegetables instead of tofu with crab meat. Ish... LIAR!!! And it cost us $18 for this crap.

Restaurant in a tram. It's a bit blurry though since it's a last minute photo. Hehehe... Didn't realize it was a restaurant tram until it passby.

Simone and me in front of CRONW casino.

Night view in the city.

' Isthmus of Kra': the restaurant that we went to eat with Kun in the afternoon.

We were lost on the way back home. Huhuh... Had to call Jin to come out to look for us. Simone were looking if there were any people can come and save us. Hahaha...

Mango with...

...sparkling wine?

After Kun met us at the Domain tram station, we walked back home to meet another friend's of them (Jin) which is also Kun's housemate while Kun can get changed as well. We waited nearly an hour for Jin to get home and get ready. Then, we all headed to Lygon Street (some sort like little Italian) to meet my cousin, Boon Hong and her gf, Emily for dinner.

What else do you expect to eat at Lygon Streeet other than Italian food? Italian food would usually means either pasta or pizza. Haha....

This is my cousin's pasta (Ravioli in tomato sauce).

Emily's pasta (Colorful pasta with white sauce I suppose?!?).

Simone's pasta (Spaghetti mariana in white sauce).

My pasta (Spaghetti seafood in tomato sauce).

Jin's salmon pizza. HHhhrrmmm... ^.^

Kun's hawaiian pizza.

After dinner, Boon Hong and Emily went back home. While the night still young; me, Simone, Jin, and Kun walked around Lygon Street to find the famous ice cream shop that mentioned by Simone's friend about the delicious durian ice cream. It didn't took us long to find it. However, there were a long 'Q' (believe it or not... )

Here it is: Il Dolce Freddo ice cream shop.

With it's award winning gelati sign board at the side of the entrance.

Look, how crowded it is!!! Nearly our turn.

Yummy!!! Look at those ice cream. ^.^

Oh no!!! Nearly sold out. Quick, quick grab one before it runs out.

Pheww... Got it! We all had the 3 flavours in a cup. It cost about $5 each. I picked durian, coconut and grean tea flavours.

Kun is too shy for the camera. So, he offered to be the cameraman. Here we posed with our delicious ice creams. L-R: Jin, Simone, and me.

On the way home, we went to buy some wine. I taught Kun how to select the good wine and suggested one. He just said, "Ok." and grab it. Then, I saw another one and think it not bad either. He just nodded and grab it. I then asked if he tried the berry taste sparkling wine before or not. And he just grab one of that as well. Gosh... I had to stop suggesting or even asking. Or else we are going to end up buying the whole liquor shop home. Hahaha....

Therefore, we ended up with 3 bottles of wine: 2 bottles of red wine and 1 bottle of sparkling wine.

After work around 4am, I went to take my luggage from Regan's car before head to Grenfell Street to wait for Simone. Waited for nearly an hour and then we head straight to the airport.

After check-in, we went to Hungry Jack for breakfast as there's still another half an hour before boarding time.

Sis. Simone with her breakies.

I'm just sharing the drinks with her.

Arrived at Melbourne (Tullmarine) airport.

We were told just before arrival that the weather would be 15'C and that's why we were wearing our jackets. Lol... =D

This is where the luggage claim area. How unbelievable!!! Perhaps you can see this kind of airport in a third world country... @.@

"Way Out" from the airport? Feels like way out from the jail or something... #.@

We then took SKYBUS from airport to Southern Cross (One way:$16, Return:$26) and from Southern Cross we had to take a cab to South Melbourne to meet up with Simone's friend - Kun. (Cab fare: ~$12).

Wah... Look how big is the apartment!!! This is the dining room + lounge.

Master bedroom + ensuite - Kun's bedroom.

Wao... Sooo comfy. Maybe because I only had one hour sleep only while in the flight for the whole day after work. ^.^

I reckon Simone feel the same as well. Look at her!!!

Taiwan product. Kun gave us a pack to try. Yummy!!!
Since Kun was coming back for lunch later on which was about 2 hours later, we might as well stay at the apartment for a rest and had lunch together before starting to explore the nearby shops or attractions.

Me at Albert Park.

Simone at Albert Park.

Seems like a historical church.

Simone said it looks like a marble cake. Lol... =D

We walked for nearly 30 min. and arrived at City of Stonnington. We then saw a 7-11 and went in to buy a bus ticket each.

This is funny: Total Clearance - $150 per pair, NO EXCEPTION.

We arrived at Chapel Street at last... @.@ So hot and so tired.

It was somewhere at South Yarra.

Went into a shop to try on some cloth. Found 2 that I like. Can't made up my mind which one is better. So, just took some photos. Hehe... =P

This is another cloth that I tried on. However, ended up didn't get both of it. Got another 1 instead just after trying these two. ^.^

Since we bought the ticket already, instead of walking back we took a tram. Gosh... Look at my panda eyes. So exhausted...

Simone in the tram...

Arrived at "Domain tram station". We suppose to head back to the apartment to meet up with Kun but body running out of battery. Can't even move a bit anymore. As Kun's office was around there, we just call him and asked him to meet us at the tram station and walked back together after.

Sis. Simone at the "Domain tram station".

Dear readers,

For the next few days, there might be few changes going around on my blog. For example; the change of the URL, the title and bit and pieces of the design perhaps to suit/match the title.

At the moment, I'm trying to get the vote for my blog's new URL's name at my facebook. For those of you who have any brilliant ideas, you are more than welcome to leave me a note/comment here. The 2 URL name that I had come up with are "pingkigal" and "pinkfairy". So, either vote or new ideas/suggestions needed.

Feel free to drop a word or two...

The one and only one,
Yvonne.

Brought my sisters out for dinner tonight. Had no idea which restaurant to go. Simone went to one of a restaurant in Hanson Road with her friends few weeks ago. She said the food taste alright and the price was quite economical as well. But she didn't remember the address. Therefore, we had to search the address from 'google'.

As soon as we arrived, I was suprised! This was one of my favourite restaurant which had closed down about a year ago. We went in the restaurant. The restaurant looked totally different. The renovation, decoration, and the settings of the restaurant. However, the name of the restaurant is still the same. Hence, I asked one of the waiter if the restaurant is still under the same management/owner and he said yes.

Later, the owner came and have a chat with me and said she still recognized me. Eventhough, I used to went there quite often but I never thought the the owner of the restaurant will remember me (Frankly, I can't even re-call a tiny bit of her face).

This is their new menu.

And this is the set dinner menu.

We order a set dinner which include; soup of the day, and 3 dishes of your choice from the set dinner menu. Steam rice: $1.50/person.

Soup of the day.

Salt and pepper squid.

Chicken hotpot.

Steam flounder with ginger and shallot.

Movie Night: 2012 The Movie

2009-11-19T02:33:00.019+10:30

17.11.09

Today was tight-ass Tuesday. Everything is cheaper on Tuesday. Regan rang me up and tell me that Nicole had inform him about having a movie night tonight. "2012"... A movie we had waited since we first saw it's trailer. Yahoooo!!!

Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Disaster movie maven Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) crafts this apocalyptic sci-fi thriller following the prophecy stated by the ancient Mayan calendar, which says that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. When a global cataclysm thrusts the world into chaos, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) joins the race to ensure that humankind is not completely wiped out. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt round out the cast of this end-of-the-world thriller co-scripted by the director and his 10,000 B.C. writer/composer, Harald Kloser.

Centuries ago, the Mayans left us their calendar, with a clear end date and all that it implies. Since then, astrologists have discovered it, numerologists have found patterns that predict it, geologists say the earth is overdue for it, and even government scientists cannot deny the cataclysm of epic proportions that awaits the earth in 2012. A prophecy that began with the Mayans has now been well-chronicled, discussed, taken apart and examined. By 2012, we'll know we were warned...

Shopaholic

2009-11-19T02:31:00.009+10:30

17.11.09

Was my day off from work again. Was a bit bored. Nothing much to do. So, I decided to just ramble around some nearby shops. And I don't know since when had I develop this "Shopaholic" syndrome.

I used to go out for shopping the whole day without even to buy a single thing. But now? Can't even get out from the house and come back empty handed, eventhough I just plan for a window shopping. HHeellpppp!!!

Below are the stuff that I bought from just 2-3 hours rambling at ONLY 2 shops. Hahaha...

6 cook books for mom and a puzzle book for myself.

This is a whole box full of the stuff I bought from e-bay (not including some already given out as presents and a few that had been open).

3 boxes of colors napkins (Bought it because of the fancy and attractive colors, I suppose).

Board games.

More board games.

"Winnie the Pooh" tapestry.

Shoe sandals for me and my sisters. Would have guess which color is mine.
Of course the one closest to pink = Red. As there were no more pink color. >.<

Red= mine; Green= Simone; Purple = Wynelle.

A T-shirt for my BFF's birthday. Shhh...

A shirt and some ties for dad.

Guess what's this cute lil' thingy? -Candle. Can you believe it? It's for Nicole and Regan. ^.*

PR Label and Budget McDonald Lunch.

2009-11-12T18:55:00.010+10:30

09.11.09

Today had a day off from work and thought I might just go to the city and have my PR's (permenant-resident) visa labeled in my passport. By the way, for those of you who missed the good news: my PR just got approved couple of months ago.

I had been working only on night shift for nearly a year now. So, having to wake up in the morning really kills me. What's worst? A really hot and sunny day.

Okie, okie. Back to the point. I woke up about 11am and get ready to head down to the city by train. Having to walk about 15 min. from my house to the train station start burning my skin. >.<>

Felt heaps better when I got in the immigration department as there were air-con. However, the 'Q' was quite long. There were about 15 people in front of me. Gosh!!! It tooks FOREVER!!! At last, it was my turn after nearly an hour wait. By the time I walked in front of the reception and told the receptionist what I'm after. She gave me a ticket with number and asked me to wait on the other side for my number to be called. "NOT AGAIN?" - I mumbled to myself.

Luckily, it only took about 5 min. wait before my number was displayed on the screen. After I had my passport labeled, I was so happy and excited. This feeling was exactly the same when I first got the news regarding my PR approval. How strange!!!

This is my PR visa label. ^.^

Soon after that, I went to find a place to have my brunch. I had nothing in my stomach since this morning. *GGrrruuu, ggrrruuu..." - Stomach was calling. Didn't want to go far. Therefore, just searching somewhere nearby. Found a korean restaurant... "CLOSED" was displayed at the entrance. I looked at the opening hours. 5 min. passed the closing time. How unfortunate that was? *DISAPPOINTED*. Looked left, looked right... Just a bakery. Nah... Bread would be the last in my list. Well, probably McDonald is the last choice before the bread. Better than starved to death. Below are what I got for $4. Not bad, huh? ^.*

1. Mini frozen strawberries: $1

2. Apple pie: $1

3. Deluxe cheese burger: $1.95

Deluxe cheese burger inside the box.

Is this what they called DELUXE? Haha...

Gathering Night with my BFF.

2009-11-05T05:20:00.007+10:30

03.11.09

This is our first gathering since Nicole had her annual leave for a month from 3rd October. That's one of the reason why there's not much update on my blog after since. Within that month, me and Regan didn't had much activities on. We just went out for shopping once at BIG W and had bought Nicole her pressies. I bought a dress as well which was on special for $20. ^.^

Nicole just got back to work last week and Regan started his one month annual leave this week. Hhhrrmmm...... WHEN'S MY TURN??? T.T Anyway, Regan picked me up around 9:15pm. Then, went straight to Nicole's before heading to Ying Chow for dinner.

This is the dish that I order: E-Shan beef ($9.80)

Nicole with her RED hair, and Michael.

Starving, tired, cripple Reggie? Lol... Why? From his morning walk plus some "GARDENING" at his backyard. That's why he can't even smile. >.<

After dinner, we went back to Nicole's house to play the "Harry Porter Cluedo" that Regan bought for Nicole's birthday pressie. Then, we were talking about the cartoons we all used to watch back in the oldies compare to most of the sh*tty one that they have now.

Among those that we found were: Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragonball Z, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, The Simpons, Darkwing Duck, Ghostbusters, etc.

It was fun. Having recall most of the old times favourites cartoon and singing those theme songs.

Instant Porridge?!?!

2009-11-05T01:05:00.007+10:30

16.10.09

The other day, me and Wyn went to shop at the nearby Asian Groccery. While browsing at the instant noodle's aisle, we saw there were instant porridge as well. Therefore, we bought some to try. Tonight, me and Wyn cooked one of the instant porridge (combination flavour) for supper.

This is the combination flavour instant porridge.

And this is what's inside: The porridge oat, sesame oil, dried spring onion, flavouring, and a spoon. Lol... ^.^

The taste of the instant porridge was alright. For those of you who like porridge but lazy to cook, you can try one of these instant porridge. There are 6 flavours which include: combination, chicken, beef, shrimp, fish, and vegetarian.

3D puzzle.

2009-11-03T19:06:00.013+10:30

15.10.09

I went to shopping today at BIG W. And I saw some of these puzzle were on sales. Browsed for a bit as both of my sis. like puzzle. Then found these small 24 pcs. 3D puzzle. I remember when I went back Malaysia in Feb., I went to one of the puzzle shop and saw the smallest 3D puzzle which is about the same size that I found in BIG W, cost about RM50 (around AUD 25). And here? Not even AUD 10. But they only had Bob the Builder. @_@ So, i bought 3 of them. One for myself and the other 2 for my other 2 sisters.

At the same night, me and Wyn started to solve the puzzle.

This is my 3D - Bob the Builder - puzzle.

Here's all the 24 pcs.

Halfway on finishing the 3D puzzle.

This is Wyn's 3D - Bob the Builder - puzzle.

She's very excited on opening her pressie. ^.^

Nearly finish up the 3D puzzle.

Tadaa--> This is my solved 3D puzzle. Hahaha... ^.*

And this is Wyn's solved 3D puzzle.

This is our wonderful collection. =P

04.10.09

7.20pm

It's been nearly 2 weeks since Regan last gave me a lift home due to different roster. And today we had a same shift again and he came and pick me up to work. He was a bit late today. Perhaps due to the daylight saving yesterday. (We have to forward the time for an hour.) As soon as I got in the car, he told me he got my pressie. I misunderstood. And just gave him a confused look with a big "Huh?". Hahaha... ;P So, he repeated himself again. I was really suprised and excited to know what he got for me.

He tried to search behind his car seat for the pressie while driving but can't find it. So, I told him to drive carefully and search later. But I was curious and tried to peek at the back seat but haven't see a thing yet and he already stop me from looking. When the car stop at one of the traffic light, he found the pressie under his seat and gave it to me. Guess what he bought for me... ^.* HELLO KITTY MUG. Hehehe... ^.^ Other than thank you, I really don't know what to say. Really happy!!! So sweet of him.

My Snoopy Mug at work was broken few days ago and I was planning to buy another one but just no time for shopping yet. What a good timing!!! The only thing is I have to remember to put it back in my locker every time finish work. Don't want it to be stolen or broken. Lol...

I took few photos of the mug after work while waiting for Regan to finish work. ^.*

Regan's Birthday

2009-10-05T07:09:00.019+10:30

01.10.09
2.45pm

Wake up around 2.45pm and sms Nicole and tell her I'll sms her again when I'm ready to be pick up to her house to ready the stuff for Regan's birthday. Before going to shower, I started to boil some rice to cook fried rice later on at Nicole's house. When I'm nearly done, I sms Nicole to come and pick me up around 3.45pm.

When we arrived at Nicole's house, Michael already finished pumping all the balloons. The whole floor was fill with colorful balloons. We did called Regan to make sure he'll arrived at 6pm. We started to get the food ready while Michael went to his parents' house. Then, we set up the birthday banner.

Regan arrived slightly early. We started with dinner. Then, we gave an empty wrapped layers box for Regan and told him that it was a present from us. It's a bit cruel though. Having him to unwrapped like layers and layers of wrapping to find out at the end that it was an empty box. Sorry, babe!!! It's just for fun. Hope you didn't get upset...

After that, we played passing parcel. The parcel was prepared by Nicole. Regan's present was in the middle and in between layers were different sort of small pressies that we will get when the music stop and we have to unwrap a layer. We all ended up with few small pressies. The pressie inside that Nicole got him was a X-Box game.

Next, while me and Michael get ready the next game; Nicole show Regan's the "Family Guy" cartoon. Remember the game "Pin the tail"? Yeah, our next game is kind of similar. Instead of pinning the tail, we pin the hand. Hahaha... =D We had took one of the photo from our Tassie trip to enlarge it purposely for this game.

This is our "Pin the hand" poster. ^.*

After the games, we get ready for cake session. This is Regan's alliens cake. Hehe... =P

"Happy Birthday to you, you were born in the zoo, with the tiger and the lion, Happy Birthday to you!!!"

This is one of the pressie I got for him: Karma Sutra Toilet Paper. I got him a wallet and a green Dino key mat as well.

Michael with a balloon head? Lol... ^.@

Regan's Birthday's Preparation

2009-10-05T06:50:00.012+10:30

30.09.09
3pm

Wake up around 3pm and sms Nicole to check what are we planning to do today. She said I can drive there and then go to shop nearby her house. So, I get ready and drive to her house. We went to shop for the party stuff and food. Then, head back to Nicole's house. While me and Nicole searching for the sponge cake recipe to make Regan's birthday cake, Michael prepare the dinner.

This is the dinner Michael made us: Ravioli.

After dinner, me and Nicole make a smaller version of sponge cake to try out before making a bigger size one. Taste not bad. So, we go ahead and make a bigger size one.

Tadaa!!! This is the bigger version of the sponge cake.

When the cake cool down, we start to put the icing sugar.

Then, we made some color whipped cream. Purple: Nicole's favourite; Green: Regan's favourite; Pink: My favourite.

Before making decoration on the cake, we tried it out on a plate. ^.^

Finally, the cake is done. ^.*

Here is the mess that we made from making the cake. And Michael have to clean it up for us. Haha... :P

The Ugly Duckling.

2009-10-01T04:22:00.006+09:30

One bright spring morning a mother duck was pleased that her eggs had begun to hatch. "Cheep! Cheep!" chirped the chicks. Mother duck was very proud of her fluffy ducklings - but one of them looked different from the others. "Quack! quack! How can that duckling be one of mine?" she wondered. "She's so big and ugly!" All the other chicks were mean and teased Sammy, the ugly duckling. They didn't want to play with her. Poor Sammy was very sad. "I don't belong here," she said.

One day she packed her bags and left home to look for someone to be her friend. Soon she came to a pond, where some other ducks were playing. But they didn't want to be her friends either. Poor Sammy was very unhappy and waddled away.

The next day an old woman saw the ugly duckling. "I think I'll cook her for my tea," she said. She tried to catch her but Sammy ran away as fast as she could. Poor Sammy was so sad that she hid herself by the riverbank all through the summer.

One day she watched some beautiful swans fly past her. "I wish I were as magnificent as a swan," she sighed. That winter it began to snow. Sammy was cold and all alone. Soon a kind farmer found her and decided to take her home and look after her. "At long last I've found a friend," smiled Sammy.

When the spring came, the farmer took Sammy back to the river. She looked at her reflection in the lake and lo and behold, what did she see? "I'm not an ugly duckling any more. I'm a beautiful swan!" she cheered.

"Look at that swan!" said the children in the town. She's the finest of them all." Sammy had never been so happy in all her life.

The End.

#I have always thought (and still are) that I'm just like Sammy, the ugly duckling. No one likes/loves me because I'm not pretty, smart or even rich. Since I was a kid, I had already lost my self-confiidence even up until now. Therefore, this story always reminded me about myself as an ugly duckling. Why some of my friends said I'm a weak person. I can't stand for myself when someone tried to step on me. I think this might because of lack of self-confidence. However, I really hope that one day I can turn into a swan just as Sammy did. >_<

7.30pm

As usual, we would have a night to hang out together. I sms Nicole and check what time we should be going to her house around 5pm. She said anytime would be fine for her. She told me that she going to make "Shepperd's Pie" and offered me and Regan to have dinner at her house. Since she's going to start cooking around 8pm, we decided to head to her house at 8pm. Hahaha... Regan came and pick me up around 7:30pm

When we arrived, Nicole had started to prepare the ingredients for making her "Shepperd's Pie". Michael was helping out on peeling potatoes. It doesn't took her long and ... *tadaa* -->

Nicole & Michael special made "Shepperd's Pie". Yum yum!!!! =P

Garlic bread.

After dinner, we played UNO and monopoly. For monopoly, Nicole was the first one to go bankcrupt and we all ended the game. However, I think Michael was the winner as he was left with the most money and properties. ^.^ And the reason why Nicole go bankcrupt? Was because she stop over at one of Michael's properties that built with hotel. Hahaha... ^O^

Pressies time...

After Catherine's birthday party, we went to Nicole's house around 10-ish to play some card game and board game. Until around 4am, all of us were hungry. We tried to decide where can we go for breakkies. Either to the nearby subway or the pancake kitchen in city. It took us about 10-15 min. until we finally make up our mind and decided to go to the pancake kitchen for breakkies. While waiting for our breakkies, we took some photos.

Catherine's Birthday

2009-09-22T03:43:00.017+09:30

20.09.09
7pm

Me and Regan are both invited for Catherine's birthday today. We both share the presents for Catherine. We got her a body perfume lotion (Jasmine), $50 gift voucher, and a birthday card. I promised to drive as he wanted to get drunk. So, I went to pick him up around 6:20pm. I was running a bit late. Fortunately, we still manage to arrived at Loco 5 min. before 7pm. However, there were no people there. We thought we went to the wrong place. After finding out, it's confirm that everything is right. Perhaps, everyone just late.

About 10-15 min. later, people start to come. For the first round we had spirit; I had a vodka with raspberry while Regan had gin and tonic (I think). And second round we had cocktail; I had vanila appletini and Regan had white chocolate martini. The party was a bit bored as most of the people invited were from Food and Beverage department. So, we just find a seat and enjoy our drink while sms Nicole and took some photos. Hahaha... ^O^ .

Me with handsome and awesome Regan (that was what he called himself the whole night). Hahaha... ^O^.

These were our cocktails. The one with green apple is my vanilla appletini cocktail with the excess in the small glass in front and the one with strawberry is Regan's white chocolate martini.

Not long after we finished our drinks, it's time to sing birthday song for the birthday girl, Catherine. Look!!!! How nice and big is her birthday cake!?!

Guitar Hero (World Tour Complete Band Set)

2009-09-19T07:10:00.008+09:30

17.09.09

The Guitar Hero World Tour set just came out today at Target. Therefore, I wake up earlier today just to buy it.

After buying the game, I got home and get ready to work. Didn't even manage to open the box and have a look.

Nicole had a day off. It's only me and Regan were working tonight. Around 9-ish, Regan asked if I wanna put my name in the book to get off work early. Well, why not? So, we did and get off from work around 1am. We text Nicole and check if we can go to her place. Unfortunately, she's getting ready to bed. Therefore, we go straight back to my home.

Mom had specially cooked the fried rice and keep it warm for us, as I told her that might invite Regan and Nicole over if finish work early. Thanks, Mom!!! You're always the best. ^.^

So, we had some fried rice before starting to assemble the world tour pack. After assembling the guitar and drum kit, we found out that the game is not working. We had to unassembled it all over again. What a disappointment!!!

Lucky that I just bought couple of new games yesterday. At least we had new games to play with. We started to play 'Build roaller coaster' game and it was a bit bored. Then, we tried the other game: 'Eye toy: Play 3'. It was fun. We had bowling, volleyball, window scrubbing, swimming, etc. We had a good night in spite of the disappointment from the world tour pack. It would be even better if Nicole and Michael can join us. ^.^

Dinner at Golden Dragon Palace.

Mom is going back to Malaysia this Friday which is on the 18.09.09. Therefore, we bring mom out for dinner. However, I had no idea which restaurant should we go this time. Hence, ask Simone to check online if there's any new restaurant around the city. She found Golden Dragon Palace. It's not really a new restaurant but it's just under new management. So, we decided to go and have a try.

Most of the setting here is yellow. Perhaps it's because of the word 'GOLDEN' in the restaurant's name. As the rice is in a bucket as normal, I didn't take any photo of it.

A night at Nicole's house.

2009-09-15T05:09:00.010+09:30

07.09.09

6pm

We went to buy pizza at Regan's favorite Italian pizza shop at Salisbury for dinner. Regan bought alcohols at the nearby liquor shop and spend about $70++. Then head straight back to Nicole's house to have our pizza before it all got cold.

This is Regan's pizza. I think it's ham, bacon and cheese pizza.

This is my seafood pizza. There's oyters as well. Slurp, slurp...

This is Michael's pizza. Not sure what's in it but the black and white thingy that on top of his pizza are burn chilli flakes. Lol... =D I nearly burst into tears after having only half a slice. Can't imagine how he eat that whole lot. Perhaps with the help of his ice coffee? He drank the whole glass of ice coffee just by eating a piece of the pizza. ^.^

And this is Nicole's pizza. If not mistaken, there's egg and bacon with cheese of course.

We then start to drink alcohol while we watched movies. We watched 2 horror movies (Mirror and Amityville) and a comedy (can't remember what's the title of it). There's no photos taken after we start drinking (even though we really wanna took some). Perhaps next time.

We stayed over night at Nicole's house. Didn't really have a good sleep as both of those horror movies' image keep flashing in my dream. =( Oh, man!!! I guess too much or horror movies plus alcohol. Lol... We slept around 5am and woke up 8:30am.

Thanks, Michael and Nicole for the hospitality!!! Especially with those blanket to keep us warm through the night and comfy pillows that Michael had to go all the way to his parents to bring it over for us. ^.^

4pm

We went to Nicole's house just to swap the car as Nicole offer to drive to St. Kilda. We took some photos just before we left with the 3D movie glasses that Nicole had in her car.

Me and Nicole in those stupid glasses!!! @_@

Trying to help Regan put on the stupid stupid glasses for the photo session. Lol...

Me and Regan ready for the photo shoot session. #_^

Soon after that, we head to St. Kilda's playground. This is my second time to St. Kilda. The first time to St. Kilda wasn't blog as Regan wasn't there with us (me, Nicole, and Michael). And whenever we mention about that, it really upset him. Therefore, in order not to make situation worst I decided not to blog that part. As this will keep reminding him about how he got left out. OOppsss... shouldn't brag to much about this or else I'll be in trouble when he saw this blog. Hehehe... =P

Getting ready for the slide.

Up, up in the sky!!!

"Michael, stop squeezing Nicole!!!"

Nicole wants a 'Michael ride'.
Michael: "Alright, love. I'm ready" (Michael's thoughts: for your torture.)

Nicole: "Yay!!! Here I come, honey".

Michael: "Yvonne, you ready with the camera yet? Quick get a photo. (Michael's thoughts: so that I can let go. Gosh... This is killing me.)

Nicole: "Smile, honey for the camera."

Michael: "I'm trying". (Yeah...trying really hard as we can see from the photo.)

1pm

After postponing the plan for Yum Cha over and over again, we finally made it there. We chose to go to Star House for Yum Cha instead of Ding Hao was because there's someone who worked there just hates Regan and we all scared that we'll get poison. Lol... =P

Me and Regan, while waiting for our food to arrive.

Oh... This pose has become his favourite ever since the Tasmania trip that we had that he did it with Michael's fingers.

Nicole and Michael with the special chopstick's frame.

Regan said he likes "Sup Ho" (Wet Flat Noodles)'s sauce more than the noodles and stuff inside. Weirdo!!! *_*

Finishing up!!!

Heaps full after finishing whatever they ordered and don't like it. Gosh!!!

"Don't be shy, Michael! Help yourself..."

Nicole: "1,2..."

Von: "Wait for me." (Manage to squeeze myself in the photo. Hahaha...)

As today is Father's day, and dad is at Malaysia, we decided just to bring mom for dinner instead. Ask mom to help dad to eat his part too. Lol... (Just kidding). I saw Annie was recommending this newly open Vietnamese restaurant at King William street at Facebook few days ago. Therefore, we decided to bring mom over to have a try.

Woa!!! Everything are so green. I bet Regan would like this as it is his favourite colors. Lol...

06.09.09

Woke up about mid day today to help out at the sales, sales, sales (Garage sales, Sticker sales, Food sales). Few of Simone's friends came to sell their stuff as well. They arrived around 9am and all of them leave around 1-ish.

I'm trying to promote the clothes.

These are my two sisters; Simone and Wynelle; who actually did most of the preparation.

Stickers Sales!

Jewellery/ Garage Sales!

Food Sales! (Special Fried Rice, Chicken Rice, Sushi, Pao, and Pudding)

Around 3-ish, things get a bit quiet. Therefore, I decided to dye my hair. Wynelle helped me to dye my hair outside the house as we had to look after the sales.

This is how my hair look like after. It's actually red-ish.
Regan thought it's brown color. Ish.. @.@

Plan Postpone

2009-09-05T18:43:00.004+09:30

Plan to go yum cha and get smash on this Sunday (06.09.09) have to be postpone as it is Father's Day. No choice. At least, it's only one day. Well, I suppose I might just help out on the sales then. @.#

Dinner at Ying Chow and Movie Night.

2009-09-01T05:50:00.007+09:30

25.08.09

Laser skirmish had to be cancel as Michael got a $200++ fine for pressing a button on his mobile phone a night or two before. Who's to be blame? Me and Regan think that Nicole is the one as she's the one that call Michael. Lol... =D

Anyway... We then decide, we might just go for dinner at Ying Chow Restaurant and a movie at cinema (since it's tight-ass Tuesday = cheap cheap day). I'd booked a table at Ying Chow for 6:45pm. However, when we arrived we still have to stand there and wait till about 7:05pm. It's packed with people.

I asked Regan to take a photo of me and Nicole while she is on the phone.

Michael and Regan finishing up their drinks.

After dinner, we went to Greater Union Cinema at Arndale. Since it's tight-ass Tuesday, it only cost us $9.50 each (normally adult price would be $17). We decided to watch District 9 because Nicole said Michael is DYIIINNNNGGG to watch it. Below is the review of the movie that I found from internet.

District 9 is a hodgepodge of science fiction, action and politics set in Johannesburg, South Africa dealing with the oppression of a stranded alien race whose mothership is incapable of leaving Earth's orbit. As a result of fear and misunderstanding, human's have wrangled up the surviving aliens and given them their own slum, dubbed "District 9," just outside of the city.

It is in District 9 the refugee aliens trade weaponry with local Nigerian voodoo militants in exchange for cat food, are derogatorily referred to as "prawns" and are now being rounded up and moved to an even less impressive fenced in environment one would be hard-pressed not to call a concentration camp. To say the film's political setting and subject matter mirrors the Apartheid in South Africa is such a "no duh" statement it hardly bears mentioning, but when it comes down to it District 9's real world parallels help greatly with the story's intrigue. This isn't to say it's all roses as the second act gets quite boring and the plot is filled with several holes, but the film's third act is likely to have audiences walking out raving as it makes up for any moments of tedium in-between.

Why do the aliens trade weapons instead of using them? How does the mothership hover over Earth if it has no power? Why are human weapons at all effective against superior alien weaponry? Don't worry about it, is the message I got, but they are all valid questions as this film dwells in reality with an opening reflecting a documentary approach to the story and extraordinary CGI proving $30 million can go a long way if used effectively.

At the center of the story is Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a likable employee placed in charge of the alien relocation. Copley, like writer/director Neill Blomkamp, is new to the world of feature films with District 9 serving as his first as an actor just as this is Blomkamp's first feature film as a director based on his 2005 short Alive in Joburg (watch that here). My complaints about plot holes aside, Blomkamp does show talent as an action director considering once things get started they really get started. A break-in sequence midway through the film and the entire climax is outstanding. Among the only distractions are the previously mentioned Nigerian gangsters and the clichéd head of military that snarls his way through the entire feature.

Copley's performance as Wikus is an interesting one, and draws your attention and scrutiny scene after scene. He comes off as an innocent and caring family man until he sets out to evict the aliens. He serves the eviction notices without compassion, refers to them as "prawns" without a second thought and even when he's witness to all the secrets to District 9 his motivations are ultimately self-centered until there is no other choice. Audiences will find themselves torn as to whom to cheer for as the film shifts from one scene to the next, which comes as a result of an excellent performance by Copley as well as quality alien special effects, with particular attention paid to the eyes of the main alien protagonist.

An emotional connection to the aliens is imperative to the story, just as is the insensitive buffoonery of Wikus, but the development of each serve as the most boring part of the story. Blomkamp dedicates far too much time to the oppression of the aliens long after the audience is in on the details, but fortunately he makes up for it with action sequences filled with alien technology and exploding human beings that will have you walking away satisfied.

District 9, for what it's worth, is a breath of fresh air. It's an intriguing science fiction with originality and thought behind it, but not as entirely unique as it may first appear. While it does utilize spectacular effects, it does it on a minimal budget and it doesn't rely solely on said effects to tell its story. The story itself isn't altogether perfect, but it shows thought, which is more than I can say for other films of its sort. When it comes to big budget summer films, it's interesting to see the one that carried a modest $30 million price tag showing the greatest effort to tell an actual story. Now if we could just get the $250 million films to follow suit.

Bowling Night.

2009-08-28T00:43:00.009+09:30

20.08.09

Laser skirmish had to be postpone as Michael had to work. Therefore, we went for bowling. Not sure if the nearby Bowland still open. Hence, we went to AMF bowling center in Woodwille.

Was a bit exciting and nervous as this is my first time to bowl. Tried to plan to bowl with friends couple of times before back in Malaysia. Unfortunately, something always seems to stop the plan. Lol... Weird? Yeah, I think so. But it's true.

Anyway, let's introduce our bowlers for the night...

...Regan.

...Nicole.

...Yvonne (me).

We had 2 games for $16/person. Usually, everything is cheaper on cheap-ass Tuesday. However, at AMF you can bowl cheaper at Thursday which known as 8 buck bowling. Normal price is $14.50/person/game. Above is the print out of our games' score.

Zoom in of the games' score. Unbelievable!!! I won the first game (just by 1 point. Lol... ). ^.^
First game: Regan had 1 strike and 1 spare. Nicole had 1 spare. I had 2 spares.
Second game: Regan had 3 strikes and 2 spares. I had 2 strikes.

After bowling, we all head back to my home for late dinner. We had mom's special fried rice and spring rolls. Yummy!!! We had a good night. But not until the next day back to work, three of us have had sore shoulder and sore arm. Hahaha... =D

Tasmania Trip (Part 5)

12.08.09

Woke up this morning and have a really bad hangover. Besides, feel wanna throw out as well. Never drunk till sick like that. #.@

At the airport. Here is Regan licking Michael's fingers. "What are you doing, Regan?"

This was how bad I look after throwing out 6-7 times.

This is Tiger Airway, the airline that we fly with.

Nicole was happy. The most exciting part of the whole trip for her was sitting in the airplane.

Michael is not scared anymore boarding a plane. Lol...

"Look at this Regan! I think he always heard about the sleeping beauty story but never take a photo with one. Therefore, he get really excited."

Arrived at Adelaide at last. Regan just wanna have the photo shot all by himself and had Michael blocked"

Self-potrait.

Waiting for out luggage.

Nicole and I.

Nicole and Michael.

After picking up our luggage, we waited outside for Regan's dad to come and pick us up. That's all folks for this trip. Hope you all enjoyed!!! ^.^

Tasmania Trip (Part 4)

11.08.09

The next morning, me and Nicole cooked breakfast together.

Look at the sunny up egg that I made. ^.^

Nicole with her breakkies.

Michael with his breakkies and SALT. Hahaha... =P

Regan with his breakkies and water. *.*

Last but not least, of course myself with my yummy breakkies!!!

After breakfast, we get ready to ZooDoo (Tasmania Wildlife Park).
These were the little piggies just few days old. The mother pig was breast feeding all those little piggies. How adorable?!? ^.*

Hey, farming truck!!! @.@

Then, we head to the safari truck. Ready for our safari tour. =D

Look!!! This was our safari driver/guide feeding those hungry osteriches.

Wao!!! That camel is SOOO big.

Yvonne: I'm so scared... Quick take the photo.

Nicole and Michael with the 2 brothers lion.

Regan and I with the 2 brothers lion.

Lion's feeding time.

GGrrr... "Helpppp!!!"

"Smile, tiger, smile!"

"Ow, tiger is yawning! He must be sleeeepy..."

"Wao, so scary!!! Don't eat us!!!"

After the ZooDoo VooDoo trip, we tried to go to Barilla Bay to buy some oysters but the restaurant was closed. How disappointed it was!

So, we went to Mount Wellington. It took nearly an hour drive up there. It was raining and was really cold. There's ice everywhere up there. This is Regan and I.

L-R: Regan, Nicole, and Michael.

It took ages to ask Nicole to get off the car and took a photo. @.@

We finished all of these alcohol. Ichiban!!!

Regan with his Vodca Orange Juice.

Yvonne (me) drinking red wine.

Michael and Nicole drinking their Vodca Orange Juice.

When we all started to get drunk, Regan wrapped a towel around my head. Make me look like one of those "bluetooth". Isshh... #.#

Michael just pretended he's drinking... but actually from an empty bottle bag. Lol... =D

"Hey, they force me to bottom up the whole bottle of red wine!!! Not fair!!!"

"Regan, do you wanna taste some? Here, still little a bit left... Hehehe... =P Come, I'll hold it for you."

Okie, dokie! Everyone's drunk. Should go to bed as tomorrow have to fly back to Adelaide.

Fasten your safety belt and stay tune...

Tasmania Trip (Part 3)

2009-08-24T17:58:00.014+09:30

10.08.09

The next day, after breakfast we planned to go to Cadbury Factory. It took about 30-35 min. drive.

This is Cadbury Factory taken from it's car park. Look!!! How massive it is!!!

Me and the "Caramello Koala".

L-R: Regan, Michael, Nicole, and Yvonne (me) with Freddo.

This is the Chocolate Treasure Chest.
Entrance fee is $7. And we get one of this chocolate each.

Photo of Nicole and Michael while inside the presentation room waiting for the factory tour presentation.

This is "Twist Wrapping Machine". This Old Rose Foregrove IST Twist Wrapping Machine presents chocolates to a rotating plate as wrapping material is fed from a reel and cut to length.

And this is "Open Temperer". Tempering is a process by which liquid chocolate (normally store at 40'C ) is cooled just below 30'C. This promotes the formation of small fat crystals, which give the chocolate a glossy appearance when it sets. The chocolate is loaded into the temperer in batches, and cooling water passes through the water jacket as the stirrer mixes the chocolate to ensure even temperature. When the chocolate reaches 30'C, it is transferred to a moulding plant, deposited into moulds and then cooled until solid.

Me in the car. Pretty bored. So, just took some photos of myself. Lol... ^.^

After the Cadbury Factory visit, we went to shop for food at the nearby Woolworth. Look, how weird it is to have a bench inside Woolworth!!! Good customer service? So, that customer that shop there can take a rest before continue their shopping. Hahaha...

We then head straight home as it's around 6-ish and no more places that we can go. >.<>

L-R: Michael, Nicole, Yvonne (me), and Regan at the loft.

This is funny!!! We all pretend to be asleep. ZZZzzz...

Then, we all pretend to be happy and excited. Hehehe...

And then, sad faces. Huhuhu...

These were the chocolates that we bought at Cadbury Factory. We spend around $20 each and I got the most Kgs. However, it seems like I have the least. Lol... ^.*

These were the alcohol that we bought for the next night. ^.*

L-R: Regan, Yvonne (me), Nicole, and Michael.

And this is someone's (name have to be anonymous in order to avoid making him feel embarass) boxer. ^.* Frog boxer? Will the frog turn into prince? Lol...

Me at the loft.

Me at the loft with the queen size bed. ^.^

L-R: Michael, Nicole, Yvonne (me), Regan.
Look at that lovely couple there!!!

We then had KFC for dinner. This is my All Star box.

This is Regan's.

And this is Michael and Nicole's.

After dinner, we watched couple of movies before going to bed. Time for bed time now... ZZZzzz...

So stay tune...

Tasmania Trip (Part 2)

2009-08-18T04:15:00.018+09:30

09.08.09

After picking up the luggage, we tried to find "Budget" (the car rental company that we booked our car). When we show them the reservation number, I asked the receptionist what car do we have. I was told Nissan Tilda which is a small car. Lucky I told her about the upgrade that we suppose to have because she said it wasn't written in the computer. she then upgrade the car to internediate size. However, it is still Nissan but I forgot which model it was. She then told us to have a sit while she do the upgrade. It tooks about 10-15 min.

... ... ... Cool!!! Car's ready at last. We all jump in the car and have Nicole's GPS set and ready to go. I was doing the driving and Nicole was the navigator. Lol... ^.^ So, we head to the cottage that we already booked. Below are some photos of the cottage that we are staying for our whole trip at Tasmania. For more information, go to this link: http://www.stayz.com.au/30261.

This is a queen size bed downstairs. There is also a sofa bed that can folds out into another bed. And up in the loft where there are fabulous views is another queen bed and setting.

Here is the kitchen area and a stair up to the loft. And in this photo are Michael and Regan.

This is another side of of the queen size bed downstair.

This is me up at the loft. It's easy to climb up but scary to get down. Hahaha... =P

After all the luggage were moved in the cottage and the photos session. We were ready to head off to Launceston. It tooks about 2.5 hours drive from Hobart.

Destination: Launceston.

Driver: Nicole.

Navigator: Michael.

On the long journey there, I had no idea what was aroud or what had happen as I was too tired and felt asleep. (Only found out that when we were back to Adelade that Nicole was actually keeping an eye on me and Regan to see if there's something happening. Lol... =D)

As soon as we arrived, we went upstairs to check out their casino. It was really small. I think it only has about 10 tables and only half of it were open that day. And the only games that they have are blackjacks, roulette and rapid roulette. Regan changed $50 and won about $80 at rapid roulette.

So, we went downstair and had our dinner at the cafeteria before heading back up to play again. I have a video clip which I wanted to upload that I took during the dinner. Unfortunately, after few tries still can't get it up load. Therefore, might have to skip the video part.

Nicole and Michael enjoyed their dinner.

On the way out. Though might just take some photos so that I can blog with.

This is a wishing well just near the entrance.

Launceston: Country Club Tasmania.

Another view of the Country Club.

This is the car that we rented.

We started to drive back to Hobart around 10pm.

Destination: Hobart.

Driver: Regan.

Navigator: Yvonne (me).

Tried to take some photos as it was quite and bored. Nicole and Michael were asleep at the back. Unfortunately, Regan just realized. As usual, hands up and face covered. IIIssshh... @>@.

It was really foggy. Hard to see the way.

Here they are!!! Nicole just woke up and wanted a photo shot. Michael was just half awake.

We arrived at Hobart around 12:30am. Everyone were really tired and exhausted. I took a shower and then we watched a movie before heading to bed. Have to get our battery fully charged to prepare for the next day.

While we head to bed, stay tune...

Tasmania Trip (Part 1)

2009-08-14T17:11:00.020+09:30

09.08.09

Woke up about 8.15am and get ready as Nicole is coming to pick us up around 9am. It's not the first time I get on the plane but don't know why I just feel as excited. Me and Nicole were doing the count down since 2 days ago (48 hours), while we were working. Lol... ^.^

Nicole arrived here nearly 9am and keep beeping. I think she was just as excited as me. After picking both me and Regan, we headed to Nicole's house. As we arrived, her dad already that waiting. We had to sort some luggage stuff and weight it.

After check-in, we went to have brunch at Hungry Jack.

Photo taken while we were on the Q.

I heard Nicole called me and I unplugged my mp3 earphone and *snap*. Got tricked!!! >.<

Regan was too shy in front of the camera. Lol...

Micheal was a bit scared after all the plane crash movies that Nicole made him watch plus it's his first time in the plane.

Nicole was soooo thirsty after having to calm Michael down. Lol... :D Perhaps a bottle of water is not enough.

The flight took nearly 2 hours and we arrived around 2.25pm local time. Just when we get off the plane and walking in the airport, Michael drops his chapstick. As Regan was walking just behind Michael and not noticing that it was his chapstick, he accidentally kicked on it and it was broken. Should took the photo of it but it was raining and we hurried in to the airport. Nicole said we should buried Michael's chapstick as it dies horribly. She makes fun of Michael's chapstick for hours and hours. She even told Michael's sister about it. Lol...

Well, forget about the chapstick thingy. We then head to pick up our luggage.

Here we are!!! At Hobart International Airport. Waiting for our luggage.

There it is!!! Nicole's 'wet wet' bag. Lol... Might be because of the rain. It rains since we depart from Adelaide even until Hobart. >.<

Here are Michael, Nicole, and Regan.
Nicole: "What's up, vanila-face!!!

And here I am! ^.^

Stay tune and more to come...

Pressies.

2009-07-24T18:55:00.006+09:30

Target Toy Sale is here again!!! Me, Nicole and Regan had tonight off. Before going to Nicole's house, me and Regan went to shop at Hollywood's Target. We got the Cookie Monster plush toy for Nicole. And Regan got me a Hello Kitty plush toy. Thanks, babe!!! Like it so much! ^.*

That's my Hello Kitty!!!

Didn't manage to take the photo of Nicole's Cookie Monster. Lol... =P

Glenda's Farewell!!!

2009-07-16T01:36:00.006+09:30

Glenda, one of our good supervisor (which is also Regan's fav. supervisor) is quitting as she is going to become a teacher soon. It's kinda sad to see her go but at the same time we are happy for her to get the job that she wanted.

This is me and Glenda. Look how happy she is! ^.^

This is me and Yanbin.

Off-day or just blue blue day?

2009-07-15T03:49:00.007+09:30

I'm feeling kind of like "down" since the night before. I don't know why!!! Perhaps, it's just one of those day where the girls' hormone go upside down. (Just have to blame on something, you know...). After hours of thinking, I decided to text Nicole and Regan to see if they are free just to keep me company.

I didn't heard back from Regan. Luckily, not long after I got a reply back from Nicole. But just with a "4" only in the sms. I was cracking my head to think what's that suppose to mean. I gave up and text her back to ask her what's "4" mean? She then called me and said it was just an error sms. She rented some movies and invited me to her house.

So, I went to her house straight after my dinner. We watched "Barot", and "Igor". The first movie we didn't manage to finished it as it was too scratch. Latter, is quite a good movie. After the movies, Michael left us for some girly chat while he play his "WOW" (I think...) Then, Nicole show me how to push diff. stacks of chips. I feel a lot better now. Thanks, Nicole!!! ^.* Your are alwez the best... BFF (Best Friend Forever).

Get Smashed!!!

2009-07-11T18:04:00.004+09:30

It was ages ago since I last get smashed (get drunk). Last Firday (10.07.09), it was Nicoles' graduation from roullette training school. Therefore, me and Regan went to Strathmore to celebrate it with Nicole and decided that we should all get smashed.

Since we all get smashed, no one is there to take photos. Lol... Therefore, no photos for this session. Guess what? Nicole had around 17 glasses of Vodca with OJ (orange juice), Regan had like 2 glasses of Jim Beam with coke and about 3-4 glasses of red wine, and as for me, I had 1 glass of Vodca with OJ, 2 glasses of Malibu with OJ, and 4-5 glasses of red wine.

Nicole was sick after that and had to stay in the toilet for nearly an hour and vomitted for about 6-7 times. Me and Regan were heaps worried. Therefore, I had to walk back and forth to the toilet to check on her ( To make sure she didn't fainted inside the toilet. Lol... =P).

It was raining "dogs and cats" that night. We get a cab back to Nicole's house. I was sitting in front while the 2 of them sit at the back and start argueing on something. It was so embarassing. I had to told them to keep quiet. Then, Regan started to think the taxi driver was Cantonese and started to talk to him in Cantonese. Me and Nicole both think that driver was Indian. After that, Regan said how he seldom take a cab because he don't like Indian drivers. Me and Nicole straight away shut him up. OMG!!! Can't believe how embarass it is!

Since we only had 1 umbrella, we had to share among the 3 of us when we get off he cab to walk home. Regan was the one in the middle holding the umbrella. Unfortunately, we wasn't holding the umbrealla properly and it kept poking me and Nicole's head. Hence, Nicole ran out from the umbrella. She rather get wet than got poke. Hahaha...^.^ Regan was upset about it as he thought that Nicole don't want to become our BFF anymore. Just unbelievable.

We then watched a movie called "Eurotrip" at Nicole's house. Regan can't remember that we got a cab home. We thought he might fake it but it seems real. He even felt on the floor after half way watching the movie and he can't remember it. Ohh!!! That was so funny! Overall, we had a fun night. Maybe we should tried to get smashed again!!! >.<

Regan's Give Away Shift.

2009-07-10T05:06:00.005+09:30

Regan tried to give away his shift on Friday as we will be celebrating Nicole's roulette graduation. So, after work on Monday he fill out a give away form and we re-post everyone else give away or swap form around the corner and pint his form in the middle of the notice board to make it more stand out. Lol... ^.^

Suprise pressie from Nicole!

2009-07-09T02:56:00.010+09:30

On Monday night, me and Regan arrived around 7:45pm which was a bit late than usual. Therefore, we were a bit rush. As Nicole finished her Roulette training around 7:30pm and usually would had left by the time we were there, I didn't expect will see her in the locker room. She then told me she had a pressie for me. Woah... So excited! I opened it and it was a friendship voodoo doll's key chain. How sweet it is? Thanks, sweetie!!!

Last Thursday when we had a gathering night, she gave me a cute little star photo frame as well. With our photo in it. ^.^

Movie Night. (Transformer 2:Revenge of the Fallen!)

2009-07-09T02:07:00.005+09:30

Me, Regan, Nicole and Michael went to a movie last night. We watched "Transformer 2: Revenge of the Fallen." However it is not as exciting as we thought. At the end of the movie, Nicole said she almost felt asleep half way of the movie. As for me, I think it's average. Not as good as I thought it would. However, me and Regan both like the theme song. It's called, "New Divide" by Linkin Park. Here is the song with the movie trailer. Hope you all like it! ^.^

My 1st and 2nd Canvas Art.

After about 3-4 hours of hard work (Not really! Lol...), my second piece of art had been succussfully produce.

My 1st piece of art.

My 2nd piece of art.

In defence of yourself!!!

2009-07-03T07:14:00.005+09:30

After reading Xia Xue's blog about how she defence herself about bleached blonded, I really have to *thumbs up* to her. ^.* If only I can be as strong and courage as she is, I wouldn't get bullied or pick on most of the time. I just hate those 'gold finger' and hypocrite people. Trying to be one face in front of you and another face to the other. Sometimes I just wonder why would they have to bother me that much since I didn't step on their 'tail' (Or perhaps they just have too many tails?). Can't they just leave me alone? Life is hard enough by itself, and what more with those shitty people come in your life and shit more. (If wanna shit, can't you just shit on your own life or just go to the toilet and shit?). Hate it when you know they are back stabbing you but you just can't do anything!!! So not fair... >.<

P.S: For those of you who are interested to see how Xia Xue actually defend herself, you can go to http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/.

Assembling My New Bookshelf!!! ^.^

2009-07-02T18:25:00.007+09:30

Bought a new bookshelf which had sit outside my room for nearly a week and didn't have time to assemble it until last couple of weeks on my days off.

This was how it sits for a week outside my room!!!

I was trying to open the box. ^.^

This is the assembling guide sheet.

Tried to put the screws in by hand 'coz can't find the screwdriver. @.@

But then half way through, the screw can't be turn any further... Still have to find the bloody screwdriver. Only then, I can keep on with my assembling work. @.@

Me, trying hard to assemble the bookshelf.

Then, slide all the board in.

What's funny about this is... it's made in Malaysia. Living in Australia but having most of my stuff made in Malaysia. ^.^

Disney On Ice presents "Princess Wishes"!!!

2009-06-29T06:35:00.008+09:30

28.06.09

I finished work around 6am and only had about 5 hours sleep before waking up and get myself prepared for the Disney on Ice show. It was somehow worthwhile.

I did really enjoyed it and find it quite interesting and impressive. Perhaps this is my first time. As a child, I never had any chance to get to see this kind of show. Don't get me wrong! It's not that my family don't love me or something. Life back then was very difficult and it's not like in Australia where children get allowances from goverment. In addition, ticket here is more affordable. It only cost $28.50 for B-Reserve seats plus $1.50 admin. fees. At my home country, to go to this kind of show, it cost at least $150++.

7 of us went to Disney on Ice together. Me, Regan, Nicole, Michael, Sis. Simone, William and William's friend. (He didn't introduce her! So, how would I know what's her name then? Lol...) Below are some photos and movies recorded during the show. Hope you all enjoy it!!!

This is my ticket. ^.^

Michael and Nicole. ^.*

Regan and I. ^.*

William and Sis. Simone. ^.*

Mermaid: Part of the World.

Last Minute Planning?!?!

2009-06-26T06:16:00.002+09:30

There were free seats to grab on "Tiger Airways". The offers were on for only few days and ends on the 25th June, 2009. The few destinations that are on special which departs from Adelaide are Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Hobart, Perth, Gold Coast, and Alice Springs.

Hrmm...Pretty good deal! Why not plan for a short escape? Hehehe... ^.^

Melbourne or Hobart? Melbourne has a lot of H1N1 cases happening. So, not safe to travel there. Therefore, Hobart seems to be a better option.

After searching for all the information to travel to Hobart including air ticket, accommodation, and car rental; I sms Nicole to let her know the price roughly. She then told me we will only decide when she got home after work around 8pm.

Around 9.20pm, Nicole rang me while I was driving. I told her I'm on the way home and will call her back as soon as I arrived home. I arrived home at 9:30pm and rang her straight away. She told me it's hard to decide as she want to go but at the same time don't want to go. I have the same feeling as well but my desire to go is stronger... However, I told her it's her choice and let her decide. After a short pause, she said she will ring Michael (her bf) and ask him about it and ring me back after. So, I wait... ... ...

Nearly 10:30pm!!! My phone still not ringing... So, I took the initiative to ring her and see what's going on. She was still on the phone with Michael... By the time she can actually made up her mind, it's already 11pm. We only have 1 hour to book our tickets before the offers end. Gosh! Can't believe it! This is the first time that I had to rush like crazy to book air tickets online.

Lucky Nicole! She got the last free seats!!! The rest of us (Michael, Regan and I) had to pay extra $25 for our tickets. Not sure because we pass the ETA midnight time or because the appointed free seats had run out. This is the lesson that we learned, "No last minute planning or booking!".

In spite of all the hassle; we are still excited about our trip to Hobart in August which is still 2 months away.

No worries. I will definitely post the trip up.

A big SORRY!!!

2009-06-26T06:03:00.004+09:30

It's been exactly 2 weeks since my last blog. My apologies to everyone as I was kind of busy with work and my PR (Permenant Resident) stuff. I was rotated to work day shift since last week. However, due to 7-8 weeks of night shifts and hanging around at the pub after work with colleagues, I get used to the late sleeping patern. Therefore, for my entire day shifts last week, I only slept for 4-5 hours a day. Luckily, I manage to swap my shifts and get back to night shift this week.

On the other hand, during my days off, I had to go forth and back in between the two medicare center in the City and Elizebeth Shopping Center for 3 days just to get my 'bloody' Medicare. Anyway, I will try my best to update more often to keep everyone up-to-date on what's happening! Stay tune!

LG Renoir

2009-06-12T07:26:00.008+09:30

03.06.09

I just bought my dream phone today and get so excited about it. Then, came home and took few photos of it so that I can post it on my blog. I sign up on a $29 cap plan with Virgin network for 24 months. It used to be on $75 cap plan and had been heavily reduced to $29 cap plan.

Since end of last year when iphone was released, like others, I would like to own one of the iphone myself. However, I just started to work and I personally find that it is too much to spend on a phone.

Last month on Mothers' Day phone catalogue, I accidentally found out about LG Renoir because it was on the main page of the catalogue with a big price slash specially for Mothers' Day. After several weeks of thinking due to the budget I have and another phone plan that I'm on for another 12 months, I decided to buy this phone.

This is the front cover of the outside box.

This is the back cover of the outside box.

This is after the outside box was taken off.

Another snap of the box again! @.@

Taadaaa... Here is my LG Renoir phone. Whoa... Look stylish and elegent!!! ^.^

A close up on the phone and stylus. ^.*

A pose from my *NEW* LG Renoir phone!

That's the whole package of the LG Renoir phone. Even though the packaging of the battery, charger, etc. is not as good as LG Prada, its' overall presentation is better than most of the phone. Fantastico!!!

Features include:

-8.0 MP Camera with Schneider Kreuznach lens, Xenon flash and Auto-focus.

-3.0" full touch screen and photo-editing directly on the screen.

-Industry-first Dolby music enhancement and DivX capabilities.

-Automatic Face Recognition for high quality photos.

-Auto Imoage Rotation for maximum convenience in shooting and viewing.

-High-speed Flash UI & Rich Content.

Art of Kissing

2009-06-01T06:00:00.008+09:30

The other nights when I was hanging out with few of my friends, I saw there were few couples kssing and this had brought my intention to blog about the art of kissing. So, I did some research online to gather some information about the art of kissing.

Kissing Explained
A first kiss should always be done while the two of you are alone. This will help to avoid any unnecessary nervousness and embarrassing situations.The best type of kiss is one that uses different variations... such as starting with a small kiss, working into a French Kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip...

And don't just leave kisses to the lips. Kiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. This can be very seductive and romantic.

Basic Kissing Tips
Great Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath.

If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss.

Moist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey.

And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience.

Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.

Close Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.

Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners.

Closed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet, keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.

French Kissing
This is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant experience. There are a few tips to create a great french kiss.

Open Lips - Open your lips over your partner's slightly more than you would during a regular kiss. This makes it easier to place your tongue in your partner's mouth.
Tongue - Place the tip of your tongue on the tip of your partner's tongue. Do not force your tongue too far into their mouth. If you wish, you can play with their tongue by circling theirs with your own. Have fun with it. Explore.

Lips - You may explore different ways of using your tongue. Try running the tip of your tongue over your partner's lips. Do this slowly and gently, just using the tip of your tongue.

Suck Kissing
This can be a very seductive type of kiss. Instead of French Kissing with your mouth open, while your partner's lips are parted suck on their top our bottom lip with your own, just for a second or two. Then go back to another type of kiss or try the other lip.

Nip Kissing
This type of kiss has to be done carefully, but when done correctly can create a wonderful effect on your date. While suck kissing, gently bite their lip, but be VERY gentle so as not to hurt your date / partner. This kiss should only be done with someone that you've kissed a few times before, otherwise you may shock your partner.

Surprise Kissing
This type of kiss is done when your partner is lying down on a sofa or the ground, either asleep or just lying with their eyes closed. Quietly approach your partner and place a small, very gentle kiss on their lips. Intensify the kiss until your partner opens their eyes or awakens.

Duygu's Art Exhibition, Dinner at Ying Chow, HQ, and McDonalds

2009-05-29T04:03:00.017+09:30

Duygu's Art Exhibition
Regan came to pick me up around 6:30pm to go to Duygu's Art Exhibition which held at George Street, Port Road. But then he don't know how to get there. Therefore, I have to bring my GPS along which I had set the address in earlier. To my suprise, my GPS wasn't behaving very well as usual. I think 'it' might not like Regan. Haha... =D As 'it' keep saying that "YOU ARE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT" even though he just drive 60km/p on a limit of 60km/h lane. On the other hand, Regan had change his first impression on 'it' when I first get in the car with 'it'. He started to get crazy and shouted "Shut up, bitch! I'm not over the speed limit..." Oppsss... I had to try to calm the situation down by closing the 'it's' mouth by muting the sound. Pheewww... *Situation in control.*

This is Duygu, the artist/host of the night. Look how happy and excited she was.

This is the price list for her arts.

From left hand top: 3, 4, 16, 17, and 18.

More of Duygu's Art.

Drawing of herself. Number 9 on the price list which is not for sale (NFS).

Number 2 on the price list.

Number 5 on the price list.

Number 7 in the price list.

Number 11 in the price list.

Number 10 in the price list.

Number 6 in the price list.

And this burned looking pizza can be ordered for the price on $10. Not really mouth watering to me. So, I'll wait for dinner out in a more appropriate restaurants.

This is John DLC with Duygu's poloroid camera. He took a photo of me, Regan, Winnie and Connie together.

From L-R: Winnie, Connie, and Regan. All just came out from village. So, never see a poloroid photo. Keep looking at the poloroid photo and wondering how come nothing come out. Hehe... ^.*

Regan thinks he can avoid being snap by the camera but he didn't 'cause my photography skills is soooo profesional. Haha... ^.^ And next to him is David, who is ready with his pose for the camera shots.

Will give Regan another chance to take a better photo with a ready pose. He did pose this time for the shoting as he know he just can't escape it. Ngek ngek ngek... =P

Dinner at Ying Chow

We then head to Ying Chow for out late dinner.

From L-R: Winnie, Connie, and me.

From L-R: Regan, Nathan, and Dom.

This is the only photo that I got for HQ as some of it had been deleted by XXX.

From L-R: Regan, Winnie, and me

Supper at McDonalds

We bought some supper at McDonalds and a $1 game, Mini Monopoly. We play monopoly while we eat.

Look how small and cute it is!

Ooucchh... Look at that 2 losers! Had to sell all the house and land to pay me the money. Haha... =D

And this is the Millionaire!!! With all the money... Thank you, thank you. ^.*

Easter Present

2009-05-20T05:39:00.005+09:30

This is the easter present that I got from my good friend, Regan. I think he gave this to me about a week or 2 after easter as we didn't manage to catch up as I was in day shift, while he was at night shift.

It's an easter Gold Bunny and Eggs from Lindt Chocolate. Haven't eat it yet. Isn't it just too nice to be eaten? Since it's a chocolate, it can't be put too long. So, I have to eat it. Might be later on. I will take some photos when I actually open it and eat it. ^.* Anyway, thanks Regan!

Journey to Perth

2009-05-18T07:16:00.002+09:30

24.02.09-26.02.09
Stop over at Perth for 2 days to visit my best friend, Cindy, on the way back to Adelaide.

This is my best friend, Cindy. Look! How cool she is... Preparing BBQ for us! ^.^ Thanks, sweetie!

While she do the cooking, me and Sis. Simone are palying and taking photos with her kids (Seb. and Noah)

Here's another photo taken with Seb. and Noah.

Journey to Singapore

2009-05-18T07:15:00.007+09:30

20.02.09-22.02.09
Go to Singapore for 2 days only to visit some fo the friends there.

Just arrived at Singapore Changi Airport. Tried to check e-mail as these booth offer free internet for 15 min. After that only call Kin from the pay phone inside the airport.

Then, Kin bring me and Sis. Simone to meet up with another brother before going for dinner. On the way, he buy some squidball and prawn ball for us to try. Something new!?

After a light dinner, we took a group photo before splitting to our own way as Kin have to report back to her gf and get ready for next day trip back to Malaysia, whereas, another brother have to head home (u know, married man). Then, Ang Jin Leong (AJL) came and meet us there.

After the splitting, AJL bring me and Sis. Simone to meet up with their ex-schoolmates which are working at Singapore already. Since me and Sis. Simone already had a light dinner, we are going to share again this time to avoid having a really full stomach.

The next day, we go to Juntion 8 and meet up with Lay Kuan as AJL have to attend a seminar and only able to catch up back with us at the afternoon. So, we find a place to have lunch and then go for shopping. Look! All of us manage to get something. Actually, all of these are shoes. Me and Sis. Simone buy 3 pairs of shoes each and Lay Kuan only buy 2 pairs. It's really good bargain. S$8 per shoes. ^.^ Around 2:30pm, LayKuan have to leave for her Church worship team practise.

Me and Sis. Simone hang around the shopping center while waiting AJL to finish work at meet us there. He arrived around 4pm. And bring us to try some popular 'siu lung bau'.

Look at these delicious 'siu lung bao'!

Around 6:30pm, we (me, sis. and AJL) went to meet up with another friends of mine (Shawn and Clarence). And we go to Seoul Garden to eat korean buffet. Slurppp, sslluurpp... =P

Group photo. From L-R: Me, AJL, Sis. Simone, Shawn, and Clarence.

Shawn, me, and Clarence. After dinner, Clarence have to head back to his office and Shawn just head back home as he have to work early next morning.

Around 10pm, AJL's ex-college mate, William, join us for a movie at first but the movie that we wanted to watch is quite late and, therefore, we cancel the plan and just go for a drink and chit chatting instead. Until about 12am, we meet up with Sis. Simone's friend, Chuen Hwa just before William left. From L-R: Sis. SImone, William, AJL, and me.

Chuen Hwa then bring us (me, sis. and AJL to see the Singapore night view. From L-R: Chuen Hwa, Sis. Simone and me.

AJL, Sis. Simone and me.

The next day, just before we head to the airport, I still manage to squeeze in another appointment with my ex-primary to scondary school mate, Vincent. We go to 'yum cha' together with AJL as well. Me with some pudding in a special green smoky thingy.

Here is my ex-schoolmate, Vincent. ^.*

After the 'yum cha', we went in few shop just on the way out. Hence, we are running a bit late. Therefore, instead of catching a MRT to the airport we have to catch a taxi. AJL paid for the taxi. We wanted to paid him back as he spend quite a lot for us not only his money but time bring us around, but he refused. Anyway, thanks a lot AJL.

Journey back to Malaysia (Part 10)

2009-05-18T07:14:00.018+09:30

16.02.09-17.02.09
Trip to Genting with Sis. Simone, Kelly, cousin (Alan) and his friends.

We catch a cab to the bus station from Melia Hotel where we stay.

Just board the bus and we're ready to go!

The bus only drive half way up to Genting, where we need to transit to Skyline cable car to get us all the way to Genting. Our cable car number is 29. ^.^

Me and Kelly.

Me and Sis. Simone.

This is taken inside our cable car and when we nearly reach our destination.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance, we saw this board which promotes the show that is on at the moment. Seems fun. We just go put the head there and 1,2,3, smile! *Snap, snap*

This view is taken from level 17th of the hotel apartment that we are staying.

And this is taken from the other side where we can have a clearer view of the hotel apartment.

This is how small the cupboard in the hotel apartment that we are staying. Inspite of that, we actually got a really good deal on the room price as they are

having a CNY room promotion. It's only RM38.88 per room.

From left to right: My cousin (Alan), Sis. Simone and myself waiting for to get in the Q for bumber car as soon as we just bought the indoor game unlimited ride package.

Never have fun like a crazy kid for a long, long time already. Yuhuu!!! Cheeseeee!!!

YES!!! Keep bumping on my cousin's car. Hehehe...(Evil laugh.) @.@

Then, we head to the 3D movie. The movie on for that day is "The Jett and Jin - Don't Miss the School Bus."

Inside the 3D cinema just before the movie start.

We then go to some slow ride.

On the way to another indoor game, we pass by some food stall and see this. Thought is worth a snap as it looks so real where it actually only a display outside the food stall.

Here's another shoot. Slurppp, sluurrpp!!! ^.*

Here we are on the train ride. I get the driver seat. And for the whole round trip of the train, I keep ringing the train's bell like a 3 years old kid or a crazy young adult. Haha...

Isn't this lady statue suppose to stand proud high in the U.S.? How come she got a bike and ride all the way here to Genting? What the hell is she doing here?

Then, we went for a boat ride. Where you will pass by an area that you can toss a coin and make a wish. (P.S.: For those who are really broke and in desperate of money, you can actually find there are a lot of coins in the water. Hahaha... =P).

Still in the boat tour. Passing by the lovers' bridge.

After the boat ride, we went pass a place where they are having promotion of things from China including taking photos with ancient chinese customes. RM40 per person and RM60 for 2 person per photo. But I manage to ask for RM50 for 2 person as it just past midnight and it's my birthday. Hehehe... ^.*

This picture we curi-curi take with our own camera just before we change back our cloth. Muahahaha.... =D

This view is just a wallpaper on the wall which we think it's interesting if we can take at the angle where it looks like we are there at that place.

And this is actually a fake bridge the made up from staircase. Haha... =P

The last indoor game that we played before ending our indoor game day - roller coaster. Then head back to our hotel room and have a shower before going to casino. Ngek ngek ngek... *No more laughing after losing 500 bucks and lost my sleep as well. Only sleep for 3 hours that day.*

Next day, we go to eat our complimentary breakfast. *10 years never change (I mean the food here)* Remember last 2-3 years ago, when I came here and had exactly the same kind of M'sia buffet breakfast. @.@

Me showing off my unattractive breakfast. =P

After breakkies, everyone go to the outdoor theme park except me and Sis. Simone 'cause there is something exciting await us. ^.^

Guess what?

We are going for the Sky Venture.

Cool! 10 min. of class training (on how to balance your body, some basic sign language, etc.) and 5 min. of the flying. It only cost about RM38 per person who stay in the Genting hotel (or else you have to pay RM58) including all the necessary cloth and accesories to fly. Recorded DVD will cost you extra RM19.

This is taken after our Sky Venture fly. YES, we love it!

LLLooooving it!

My flight certificate on my brithday! Isn't it cool?

Me and my cousin on one of the CNY board for ppl to take picture. Gong Xi Fat Chai!

Journey back to Malaysia (Part 9)

2009-04-29T03:44:00.009+09:30

11.02.09-15.02.09

Soon after dad pick us from airport, we go to eat at Foh Sang straight away before going back home.

This is the Chinese New Year (CNY) cake, what we called "Lin Gou".

And this is "Ngau Si Dui: (literally means bull's shit). Haha... Funny? It's just the nick name that we called as it looks like bull's shit.

Of course won't missed out this, my favourite, Penang Fried Kuew Teau. Yum yum... =P

Gigantic "Leong Fun Susu".

Me and dad went to church on one of the Sundays. The rest of the family member? Sis. Wynelle is sick and mom have to look after her at home. And Sis. Simone? Can't wake up lohh... Aiyo!

There's one day where I had to drive Sis. Simone for body check-up around noon time and waited for nearly and hour but still not her turn yet. The receptionist told us, it might be another half an hour to an hour wait before her turn. Since we starved to death ('cause non of us actually have anyfood before we came out), we just go to the nearby famous old coffe shop to eat bruch.

This is my "Ngau Chap Gon Lou Ho Fun" (Mix beef with dried flat noodles).

Sis. Simone with her new changing color spec.

And this is her "Ngau Chap Gon Lou Min" (Mix beef with dried noodles).

Marie France just open another branch at One Borneo (1Borneo). And I got one free cold wrap for my birthday from Marie France. So, out of curiousity I have my free cold wrap done at 1Borneo Marie France. They also gave me this hand wax (I think so!?) I took it out slowly , in order not to break it. Why? Of course u know why! To take photo and put it in my blog loh! Haha...

Not bad ah? Look! They give you a small room with a sofa, towel, slippers, and a cloth.

So refreshing after the cold wrap. Hence, walk around 1Borneo for a bit before meeting up my cousins for dinner.

Here are my 2 cousins that study at Sabah Uni. (UMS). From left: Me, Jessica, and Vince.

The next night, dad bring us to eat at Hung Gam Bou Restaurant. Just dad, me and Sis. Simone. So, we only order 2 dishes. Hrrmm.... Lemon chicken. (Doesn't this look and taste a lot better than those in Aust.? Sure it does).

The other dish is Kangkung Belacan. Slurrpp, slurrpp...

On the day that me and Sis. Simone are going to fly to KL, dad bring us to go eat "Sang Yuk Min" (Pork noodles) at Lintas for brunch. So, tassstttyy....

Just before we go back and take our luggage and head to the airport, we go to City Mall. Just to buy another pair of glasses. Look! The blue one that I'm wearing already. Hehe... On the way out, there was some event and I just took a photo with this teddy or koala or what so ever...

*As this is a 3 weeks trip, it had to be shorten as it took me ages just to finish this trip blogging and missed out or delay the recent blog.

09.02.09-11.02.09
Trip back to my hometown, Sandakan, with Sis. Simone.

Just arrived KKIA and ready to check-in.

This is our boarding pass.

While waiting to board the aircraft, we just took some photos around.

Here we are at Sandakan Airport. Usually my 3rd uncle will come and pick us up, but as I mentioned in my previous blog, my 3rd uncle had just pass away, therefore my 2nd uncle come and pick us at the airport. Then, he dropped us at his house.

When arrived at my 2nd uncle's home, my 2nd uncle's wife gave us a lot of snacks. And this is one of my favorites. Milk biscuit. I prefer the one with white chocolate.

Me and my cousins. ^.^

Sis. Simone and cousins...

Me and another cousin (Andy) >.^

Me and 3rd uncle's wife.

These are the food that my 3rd uncle prepared for this year re-union dinner but unfortunately he just pass away on a day before the re-union dinner. Therefore, the food are save until we came back. This is mushroom chicken.

And this is seafood rolls. Sluurpp, sluurrpp... :P

This is chicken, crab, corn soup.

And this is fried king prawn.

This is the chicken that my 2nd uncle brought. Most of the CNY re-union dinner, my 3rd uncle will cook a lot of food and my 2nd uncle will bring this chicken to add on.

This is the sweet and sour pork with lychee and onion. Yum yum!!!

The next night, my 'lil auntie (from dad's side) bring us for dinner with her daughter and another cousin of us, Christine. From left: Sis. Simone, Christine, and me.

This is my 'lil auntie's younger daughter, Brenda.

The next morning before we head back to KK, my 'lil auntie bring us to the market for breakfast. We had dried beef noodles and some economy fried noodles. Me and Sis. Simone with our white tea.

This is my 3rd auntie (from mom's side) and I.

And this is my 'lil auntie and I.

After that my 'lil auntie sent us to the town and we shop for a while. Then , my 3rd auntie, Sis. Simone and I caught a bus back home. Here's the bus tickets.

My 2nd uncle then sent us to the airport. Me and Sis. Simone.

My cousins wanted to sent us off as well as they only see us once in few years. So, as soon as auntie pick them up from school, they rush here all the way just to sent us off. Unfortunately, one of the cousin had an extra class that day and he was quite upset as both of his brother can come and sent us off while he was left behind for the extra class. :(

Here we are back to KK again.

Sis. Simone wanted to get a hair cut and my other sis. recommend her to cut at Damai (Forgot the name of the saloon... >.<) 'cause the hair stylish very popular one and that make it very costy to cut there. *Usually to get a hair cut at normal saloon will only cost about RM10-RM15 but it cost about RM50 to cut there.* But mom said this is only once in a while and we should treat ourself better. So, we'll give it a try. There were lots of people waiting when we arrived. After waiting for about 20 min., mom and I went out to the food stall just few shops away to have tea while my 2 sis. are waiting at the saloon.

This is the herbal tea, "Ha Fo Chou", that I ordered.

And this is rice noodle roll, "Chu Cheong Fun", that mom and I shared.

3:30pm
After finish our tea, we went back to the saloon. Sis. Simone is already having her hair cut. So, next one will be me. My hair was spray wet and get ready for the hair stylist to come.

While waiting for the stylist to come, I asked Sis. Wynelle to take some photos of my hair before, on, and after the hair cuts.

This is how long my hair look like before the hair cuts.

On the process of cutting. The one in pink is the popular hair stylist.

This is how much hair was cut off from my head. :P Lol...

Tadaa... This is how it looks after the hair cuts' done. ^.^

Plan to drive back to my home town, Sandakan, is cancel as I got a high fever since i arrive plus the cold that I caught while I were waiting for transit in Gold Coast. Just wake up around midday and feels a lot better as mom was taking good care of me the whole night. Changing the towel to put on my head to make sure the fever doesn't get any worse every few hours and getting the water and medicine for me as well. THANKS, MOM!!! You are the best!

1:30pm
Hungry, hungry! Lunch time... Get to the dining room and saw Dad's friend, Uncle Jimmy, is there as well. So, we all go for lunch together. Dad brings us go to 'Kedai Kopi Dung Bou' to eat. It's just at Lintas, nearby our house. Dad said this shop is popular for it's specialty menu of "Salty fish steam with pork" rice. Therefore, everyone have that except me. I have "Tuaran fried noodle".

This is "Salty fish steam with pork" rice.

This is my 'Tuaran fried noodle'. Plate still the same size as 2 years ago but only 'shrink' in portion. Lol... :D

The one from left is Uncle Jimmy, dad and me. I'm tasting some of dad's "Salty fish steam with pork" rice as I'm so hungry and it takes ages for my noodle to arrive... Kekeke... :P

Me and Sis. Simone.
