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.

The Dikir Love

We had a dikir barat post-performance gathering at Jesmond Park last Thursday. It was scheduled at 11am, I had to wake up early in the morning to Woolies to grab something to prepare for the pot luck. Practically saying the fridge was empty due to the overloaded-activities spring break.

And so, I made this Baked Tuna Stuffed Shell Pasta. 

Early. In. The. Morning. At. 9. Cut. Cook. Fry. Seasoned. Stuff. and Bake.
Damn semangat right?

BBQ at the park.

Stupid super duper strong wind. Blew away the cups, the plates, the chicken, the skewer, and the krispy kreme, not the people yet luckily.

Most of them are first year or second year students, only few little kittens of us are graduating this soon. Dikir barat brought us together for the Merdeka Night performance, no one knew that this will prolong that far and the bond between us has strengthened as time pass by.

We never had a full squad rehearsal, there must be someone absent. We never had the practice started on time, would at least delay for 30mins or even an hour, we are too Malaysian. There were times we couldn't reach on agreement, and there were times we had sourish faces on all.

 All these never fail to bring about the DIKIR LOVE WAR

p/s: thanks to Cien and Maple for the overloaded ❤ :)

❤ Woooooops Dikir! ❤

Sandboarding!

We have this sandboarding trip at Anna Bay planned in few days' time and so we went in 2 cars on last Friday. The weather was so good - not too windy yet not too cloudy - and the sun kindly hid for sometimes for the sake of our skin. You know, we are all putera-puteri lilin. Some are going to screw me if they read this because I'm always the one complaining how scorching the sun is. It's a desert place wehhh, not a shade that I could find at all. :) And noo.. in fact I am not so puteri lilin but people who knows me would know that it takes less than an hour to burn me and almost a year or more to be slightly fairer, just slightly, and I am absolutely sick of the super-duper charcoal tanned days.

After half an hour drive we arrived at Anna Bay, boarded this err.. 4WD bus(?) to the very deserted place. They very semangat people woke up early in the morning for this very tiring outdoor activities, cheers people!

Seeeeee... so desert-ish right!

You enjoy the 15 seconds of joy sliding down the slope and as tired as a cow when you finally climb up to the top again. The first try going uphill was the worst one, I felt like going to collapse soon. As I said, as tired as a cow. LOL. It has been a long time since I last had this "collapsing moment", just like me finishing the 400m back in MSSMPP.

This proves that how long I've never been doing any exercise that requires so much of my energy and challenges my stamina. Ooops.

Even if you're exhausted you will never be tired of posing for the camera.

We planned to do 10 rides, and later on increased to 15 rides to challenge ourselves.

Everyone kept counting down 14 times left, 13 times left.. and until 10 times left..

We knew we were not going to get that 15 times because our princessy-Jim's arm was mis-located because of a fall and rolling down the slope. And so 10 of us ended up in John Hunter Hospital for 3 hours. :)

Poor Jim! Count down to 5 weeks to recover fully.

The group photo of the Sandboarding gang!

Shall we go again one day? Ahhh.. if we have the time! :)

Spring break is coming to an end, 2 weeks of break - that's it. A lot more to catch up, I'm way behind my blogging!
