I'm poisoned

This shit thing happened this morning when Hua was cooking rice by using the microwavable rice cooker, because - 18 mins for 1 cup of rice, which is supposed to be 10 mins only. Hehehhe =p The burnt smell was so strong in the house and we hardly could breathe.

We laughed instead. Now we know, things could get burnt by microwave! :D

But soon I found it smells like the chicken pot rice with the slightly burnt rice at the bottom. @@ Crazy or not.

Fyi, the black hole thing is the burnt rice :) 

My Easter break has been so wonderful, functions and outings almost everyday. Firstly the updated beach outing, followed by the 3 days 2 nights trip in Sydney and the Easter Show, and the scenic view early in the morning at Port Stephens right after the day I came back from Sydney. Continuous fun, fun and fun! I'm exhausted but who cares, it's the fun that matters! For the first time, I dozed off at 10.30pm last night.

And.. we will be having steamboat at home later at night.

I'm busy again, or I should say continue busying! Lots to update after next week, with uncountable photos I hope :) stay tuned.

I LOVE THIS EASTER BREAK, except the upcoming days. Poisoned with joy and the burnt.

XOXO :)

Easter Break!

SO FAST and 6 weeks has passed! Here comes my Easter break, which everyone has been longing for since the start of the semester. And I guess after the break I will be looking forward to the one-month-winter-break! I skip the tests, skip the piling up assignments and skip the finals because they are so dull! Their only purpose is to depress us students.

I love our outfit :) although no bikini or sun dress, but we are colourful!

Random shot of the kids playing with water-splashing =)

The wave. High wave.

The group photo of the whole bunch of Asians at the beach =) which I only know few lil kittens of them. =p When Adrian said HEY COME FOR PHOTO! I just hopped in without second thought hehehhe

They went at 12pm but we went at 2pm - when the sun was hiding. Oh well well because we woke up late!  I love to go to beach with the sun hiding himself =) Else you would see me wearing long sleeves and cap while everyone is in as-least-as-they-can. 

A mediterranean cuisine dinner at Beaumont St before heading home. I love the pasta! It might look oily but I think it's olive oil which made me don't feel guilty at all for finishing the whole dish! Teehee.

Easter show in Sydney, I won't miss it! :)
Happy Easter!

Something. Some thoughts.

Time flies - this 2-word phrase has become more than common for me since the transition stage of my life, everything seems to pass in a glimpse and not to say whether I did appreciate the past or not. There were times when I came across to think of what I had been going through and what I had and have, it's sad to to say my mind went blank all the while. Is it too much or too little that couldn't even flash through my mind? There are heaps of stuffs I would never face or experience if I am forever a pampered one and  I feel great for being through what I've been through.

It's fun, or rather mesmerizing, to see how people around us deal with the word starts with M. Not that I'm involved in the M conflict, but the recent incident widened our insights I would say. Somehow it seems ridiculous and the worst part is this challenges friendship. I'm lucky I'm out of it, but sad to say this involves my close mates. But duhhh... this is unbelievable. I think I should not elaborate more on this.

I'm wondering would that be offensive for me to say something which might indirectly point to someone else, whom he/she might read it one day. But come to think of it, it's my right. If I've to privatise my blog just to have my freedom of speech, I don't wanna be like that. Why should I bother with what people think while I'm always the one tolerating and doing the best to serve people. I think I have to make some improvement here, not to care too much.

I was learning and I'm still learning.

And it seems that serving people with the best doesn't give you good return. I learnt this.

I'm told to stay out of something a moment ago because I don't have to get myself involved with that something that doesn't need too much of my concern. And yes I think I've been worrying too much for the sake of others, so I think it's the best if I'm out of it. So I'm quit then. I would say this is part of the learning process.

I'm not afraid to tell I'm lack of confidence and sometimes I don't even trust myself for my ability. I hardly could think of a field or an aspect that I'm confident in. This probably should be ashamed of but instead of being so I think constructive efforts should top on it. Hmm I shall think of it.

Be more confident, a reminder.

ktv night

The annual Asian KTV night.

Was scheduled to start at 6.30pm (I heard), but it started at around 8.45pm instead.

There was free bbq but only chickens. So. We craved for pizza.

omg countable words in this post.

So. That's all.

And......

THE BEST THAI FOOD WE FOUND IN TOWN!!!

The spicy hot one!! That can make you ask for more water, ask for air-cond to be switched on, and sweat!

*woops* no more sweet thai food we used to have here!

I have the key on 22nd of March.

I had been disappeared from the internet world for several days and it seems like years to me. It was so weird, weird and weird. Indescribable. That's why it was so peaceful here with no updates at all. Zzz.

Ok, cut the crap.

As soon as I've got the internet connection working perfectly, the first thing I did was - reply all the Facebook birthday wishes and messages! I scared it'll be rude if I don't reply. Anyway it's the internet connection's fault that made me lost from the world. Screw it.

I should talk about how wonderful is my birthday.

My current wallpaper :

It's my 21st. It's going to be a pretty long post I guess, because it's my 21st and it deserves to have one.

I had surprises on my birthdays, since 2 years ago I would say, from these close friends. On my 19th, they secretly planned everything and sort of like kidnapped me with lots of lame excuses - I was mesmerized - they planned it almost to perfection; On my 20th, the first time I celebrated my birthday in this Aussie land, they switched off the wireless connection even though they knew I was on skype with my mom at 12 sharp and came in with a cake, and Mao came too - I was surprised; On my 21st, again they knocked on my door at 12 with birthday song and presents, and a warm birthday dinner with close mates - I was and I am touched.

This time they refused to take a picture with their home clothes/pajamas when they came in at 12, and they stayed till late even Mei Zhi has to work in early in the morning. ☺

They know I've a big weakness in decision making and I think I should admit on this point. It is too bad to be true. So they kindheartedly made me order every dish for the dinner.

It wasn't that hard anyway. Asked for introduction and I just picked whatever the waitress introduced. That's pretty easy!

Due to purely Malaysian we are (oops Petrina? =p) we ordered the hot dishes with extra spicy but obviously the spiciness here never reach us with our high toleration.

Enough of photos of food, that's not the point. Hehehe.

I saw the box of cake in the fridge in the afternoon but of course I didn't peep at it. I swear.☺The choc mud cake is so pretty, superbly muddy and it tastes heavenly! No kidding.

There are still some leftover in the fridge. Buwahahha I won't consume it by myself I'll share the fats don't worry. *Slurp*

Most of them were in red/pink or light color because they knew I had a red tee from home and I'm wearing it for the night. I thought they were kidding when they said they're going to wear in red, so sweet of them ♥

Hmm I don't know why this picture looks so nice. ^______^

We moved on to Cold Rock to continue our chit-chatting with ice cream, ice cream and ice cream.

Something notable. There were nine Penangites here and each of us is from different high school - JS, HSBM, PCGHS, CLB, Han Chiang, Chung Hwa Confucian,  St Georges, Union and SXI. Cool? A group of diversified Penang kia scattered in different high schools! Hahahha.

Thanks to this bunch of great people I have a warm 21st, I truly appreciate everyone's presence and enjoyed every single moment we had. You guys are sweet :)

Of course, despite I'm thankful to have these people to celebrate my 21st with me, I'm loving those birthday wishes by phone calls, SMS, Facebook, video by SK and undelivered SMS to my M'sia number. A big thank you to everyone! Hugs!

This is not the end of the story yet. *Giggles* Hang on.

I never know when is my lunar birthday and my family doesn't have the tradition to eat 'mee suah' on birthdays. And this is the first year ever I celebrated my lunar birthday, at home on 1Mac - on the day I left.

I miss this green tea + red bean cake now. I didn't eat a lot that day because I cried too much. =p Wasted!

Last year when I asked for an iPhone, my mom said okay, birthday present for next year. When I refused to buy Levi's jeans because I think it's costly, it then became my present for 21st. Before I came, I got a white gold chain and it's my present again. And recently I asked for permission to go Christchurch and Melbourne in the winter break, my parents again, said it is my 21st birthday present. Thanks papa mama.

I know, I'm lucky. I'm blessed.

SAUN Welcome Party

It's a welcome party organised by the Singaporean Association of University of Newcastle but it's open to everyone so I don't have to be a Singaporean to be part of it. It's a great party although there wasn't much programs going on but everyone was indulged in mixing around. 

After the ice breaking session the food was served. We had rice and char bi hoon with vegie, sting-ray curry, roast chicken, curry pasta and desserts. Hoorays for no burgers no hotdogs no pizza no bread!

And basically none of us is Singaporean here. Hehehe.

I was so full after the party but I still joined to Hungry Jacks for ice-cream. Very very milky and creamy ice cream. 

And and.. on my way home with Pung, I saw this horse, or pony? It's so rare to see a pony on the street, and the owner is chasing at the back. LOL. How often do you see a horse/pony at the neighbourhood? 

And a superb full Thai dinner which made me really really full after all.

I'm going to Hamilton tomorrow, I heard there's something like a Sunday market. I shall not be a froggie here anymore. Thanks to Cien with her driving us around wherever we're going to. :)

Byebye.
