Tasmania

Flash back to about a month ago, when I've just finished my last paper and was busy packing the whole house, with giveaways to the Salvation Army and tonnes of rubbish we've collected throughout the whole year appeared to be a problem to fit into the rubbish bins, and we had to drive the big big bags of recycles to the uni paper recycle bin.

Lalalallalala.. and we headed off to Tasmania on the 25th of Nov after all the hard works clearing the house.

First stop once we got down from the plane.. Bridestowe Lavender Estate~

Greeted and welcomed by the bald lavender farm.

Okay I will just make here a summary of the trip with very limited photos.

I roughly remember this was taken at Launceston. Ohhh because we find the places were too boring, so we dragged ourselves out to take photos.

And then this was at the Rose Garden at Woolmers Estate. :)

Haha =="

Here comes Richmond.............

Before going Richmond we were scheduled to crash Port Arthur but by the time we reached we were late for the cruise and so on so for. Zzz, we were lazy, maybe this is the truth. LOl. Wasted the efforts to drive for hours to and fro Port Arthur.

As it says, City of Hobart. Oh well, the nicest place to live in the island I suppose? :)

Bruny Island.. the neck?! Err...

I love to take pictures with macam-macam style of mail box, and this is one of those.

Somewhere, a park, at Devonport~

In Tasmazia.. a place with different types of mazes. The cute and colourful little houses is the highlight for us.

Pretty? A breathtaking one? :)

The extraordinary spectacular sceneries in New Zealand are the best to us so far. That's why we find it a little bit too common and boring in Tasmania. This is bad bad bad. :S So people if you ask me, I would recommend you to visit Tasmania first before going to NZ, just kindly reduce advice you to minimise your disappointment. Haha.

Byebye.

I've been doing almost nothing.

I'm back for a week and so.

Life is still the same.

Baked an apple crumble pie few days ago and I still see some leftovers in the fridge.

Went for golf two days ago with mao, eric and thurrrr. First attempt ever at driving range.

Thrice olahraga gathering since I am back.

The juniors, very the juniors. 2-5 years of generation gap, zzzzz. Some of them are only Form 4, more zzzzz. We are not old just not as young compared to them. :D

50% of the '05 batch.

Oh ya results are out and I'm officially a graduate now. Good? Mixture of pros and cons~ I miss the lo heng life with lots of annoying things we did and.. WOW. Hmmmmmmmm.

Is home.

Welcomed by a little culture shock when I landed yesterday particularly when I stepped out from the airport seeing the taxis out there with kinda broken cars and not-so-professional drivers look. It's so random I know. :S

When my mom asked me, "What do you wanna do now?" and the first thing that I told her was, "Anything but not eating." Surprisingly? No I supposed because I was still full from the flight meals. Feel so piggy for the 8 hours flight where the only things that I did was sit, eat and watch movies. Knees were in pain after the long hours.

I didn't buy much back this time and I found that there are still chocolates in the fridge from last year. Did I mention that my mom has frozen three mooncakes for me? :) Yay!! And one of them is my all time favourite Shanghai mooncake. Weehoo.

Hasn't really gained back my appetite for the local food yet, and not craving for any particular food, which... is a good sign? :) But I've tasted so much like curry mee, wanton mee, char koay kak, hokkien mee, apom, and bits of dim sum this morning. So contradicting.. =="

Feel like going to swimming but damn I'm overage now. Remember I once scolded that Indian guy who refused to let me in although I was holding the Safira member card and I was still under 21, I'm not gonna be so silly fighting with him this time seeing that I'm at the downside, I'm 21. fsayfnsadgoiumxassdfiojsdiogwquhsanu suan le.

Lots of photos to update for Hunter Valley Garden and Tasmania trip but this is definitely challenging my patience.

Apparently I'm lazy to update with photos. Call me out, same number. :) Buhbye.

After exam, packing mode started!!

As usual after-exam is always sooooo busy and I have so many in mind need to be settled before Tuesday. Yay, I'm leaving. Nooo I don't really wanna leave here but anyhow it's time to leave already. Goshh.. can't believe I've completed my degree it's soooo fast! Provided that I don't get a F for this final semester, I know I won't because I must not!! :)

Anyway here is a quick update.

I went to the Architecture INTRANSIT exhibition for the 5th year students.. that was still during the exam period. By the time I still had three exams not done yet and the archi students kept showing off to us they've done and free! =="

Us with Bizi :)

and us with Azfar :)

Fast forward to the last day of exam, we had a party at Wanlu's house at night. And I made muar chee for the party because I've the flour left from making the ondeh-ondeh last time.

We played mafia for hours and I was so tiring after the whole day after the three hours exam in the morning plus I didn't sleep well the night before the exam I guess I was too exciting and kept laughing by myself.

Vivian, Wanlu, Jas, and me :)

Till then.. I'm pretty busy! It's already Monday, and I'm leaving tomorrow. My stuffs are not packed yet, I haven't bought the things I want yet, and I haven't got the boxes for packing from Woolies yet! Bye.

Now I Need Vitamin M ::Updated::

I walk into the bathroom and take out my lens, when I'm rubbing it with saline suddenly I realise I lost count of how many lens I have taken out. I wear my glass and check into the mirror I don't see any lens in either side of my eyes. I wonder when did I take out both lens and I only could see one at that moment. Did I drain it with the tap water? I search up and down in the bathroom, the sink, the tap, the mirror, the case, and the table top. I have no idea where is another lens.

My memory doesn't store that few seconds, so unconscious. So now I need more vitamin for memory. Such a tofu brain I have!

UPDATED:
Damn I found the lens in my case after three days. Two lens in one side and I have just got another new pair to wear. So I have to throw them away. Grrrrrr.

It isn't that bad before the battle...

It's a post with at least.. a photo!

Everything goes slow and steady (I hope..) and things are as usual, chit-chatting in the dining room after meal, few episodes of drama occassionally, dining out when we've no idea what to eat/cook at home which should be prohibited from today onward because we need to get the kitchen emptied in approximately 13 days time, and last but not least we had a birthday celebration with Carrina while the exam is just few days away!

Larnna Thai at Honeysuckle

Everyone felt so after-exam indeed which was soooooo wrong. :( Okay fine we will have our after-exam very soon, time flies and I'll be home.

Seconds ago, SK sent me this - Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing At All ... You say it best when you say nothing at all... It actually means 'could you please shut up' or when you wanna ask someone to shut up just tell 'you're the best when you say nothing at all'. LOL.

We had a dinner with our neighbours last Friday, which would be the last and only one dinner with them I guess, with all the Chinese dishes like tofu with dried shrimps, broccoli and mushrooms, nestum prawn, tomato egg and curry chicken. The last time when we went over for dinner we had very yummy rendang ayam and acar that's why in return we cooked all the Chinese dishes. :) The spoilt of that night was definitely my curry chicken which I accidentally burnt it and I guess it was supposed to taste better if it didn't come with the hint of burnt in the taste. Dumb dumb me. And and.. Fadhil got the symptom of allergy with rashes the next day. :S I hope it's not because of our cooking seriously we used all the more-than-common ingredients that you can find everywhere.

I've a storage for luck now and welcome whoever wants to contribute some and I know everyone needs it now so nevermind I will be a santa claus of luck after 20th. Okay. Bye :)

A Stubborn One

I suddenly came to realise how stubborn I actually am. I never learn from mistakes, and I tend to make the same mistakes for twice. Why am I so stubborn in making the same mistakes again and again, why just couldn't I learn from the mistake? Why on earth has people as silly as I am? When only I will learn from the past? Seems like it takes forever to convince myself I'm such a loser, in fact I am which I only realised it not too long ago. If that's the case, I will never success, not to think of any bits about the future. If I'm forever that indecisive and forever that lack of confidence, then I am forever a loser. If I don't change, if I don't move, if I stick to what I am, what I was, I will be forever the same me which is how and what I am at this moment. If indecisive is what brings me down, if lack of confidence is what push me aside, then I should just bang on the wall. No, hitting the wall isn't enough, that doesn't help. Then then, then.. why it takes forever for me to learn and get over my weakness which is so clear right in front for me. Dammit. Heart beeping faster, fire burning hot inside, because I'm mad at myself.

Forseen and Unforeseen

• This month definitely wouldn't be happening anymore;
• This space will turn into cold and eerie place pretty soon, or who knows it'll be so right after this one;
• Post with only blabber, no photo of my happening life, no photo of food - this saves complains;
  
• Emotional wave with the mixture of moody and frustrations, with the hint of torturous, suffering and suffocation;
• Higher refreshing rate of Facebook and blogspot, as if anyone updates every hour.
  
• Probably lower frequency of vacuuming the room? or maybe not, because this kills time, and burns calories. Lol!;
  
• Will be so busy right after 20th. How sarcastic it is, shouldn't I busier beforehand? ;
• Stop stocking in the kitchen, three weeks' time to spring cleaning the food;    

• Unforeseen direction and path after this; That's it.
  

There are times come to think of this silly question lately, that everyone knows only the lazy ass and coward who doesn't put in effort would ask as such - How nice it is if there's a free flow of vitamin M? This thought only comes from useless person so I'm not going to be one, but pardon me for a moment, blame me for having more material desire lately.

If I can get over my indecisive, my world goes rounder with lesser corners and lesser junctions. Lol. It saves the people around me from the overwhelming nagging. Only if I manage to, I wonder when.
 
Experienced being a santa claus yesterday, cooked a whole big pot of bee koh moi and it's impossible to finish without the help of more tummies.

Very unstructured. Byebye.

To end the month..

There was this Deeparaya Open House organised by MYSUN.. two weeks ago. It is always so nice to attend such events because this is when we can catch up with all the friends no matter close ones or it's just hi-bye friends. Whenever there is gathering for Malaysian, there is always food - I think this is the most basic thing to ask for. :p

Sadly, this is also the last event of the year. :[

Happy birthday Shee Ling!! :) Okay, I don't think SheeLing reads this anyway. Hehehe.

A random one.. on Khai Chi's graduation day with her lomo camera :)

October October....... is coming to an end. Everyone knows what and how's next month gonna be.

Spring in Canberra

Sorry for this belated Canberra post, it's never been forgotten. :)

Me and Hua headed down to Canberra during the Spring break 3 weeks ago. People always says that Canberra is sooooo boring but it's sooooo not true for me, I'm used to the slow and laid-back lifestyle back in Newy. Ohhh.. I like the city! Civic :) Small and organised, and.. peaceful, cool!

We had a walk in ANU after a yummy lunch at Tosolinis. I had risotto but I think Hua's pasta is the best!! It was so goooood. Bee, you should go for the pasta next time! xD

Continue with the walk at Australian National Botanic Gardens just behind ANU.
And... it rained. :/

The night we had a pleasant dinner with Bee's friends and we laughed a lot! They are so hilarious, so cute :) Hehe. Bee, your chicken marsala is so thumbs up! Love it :D

The next day...

Floriade @ Canberra

Practically saying we skipped dinner that night and we had supper with mac n' cheese, chips, mooncakes. We were so kaypo browsing through lots of blogs, of people that we don't know at all. LOL.

 

A fruit flan for breakfast before leaving Canberra. Thanks Bee, I love this fruit flan! I wish I could have some now :)

 

We didn't go to the Parliament House!! I heard it's a must to go but we, being the special ones, didn't go. Buwahhahah. Or maybe this could be the reason to visit Canberra again one day. =p

Thanks for the stay my bee ❤ xoxo

How nice if I was there..

My ah ma's 94. 

 

There are so many of them. Ah ma with broad smile. Everyone looks good. Overloaded with yummy food. So warm so happy.

I wasn't there...................... :(
