Life in snapshots

Nothing beats a good coffee. :)
Well i can't say this coffee is the best, but this standard, and in singapore?
That's already pretty good, for the price of $4.50.
This cafe's supposed to be called the Caramel Cafe,
and it used to have tons of unique furniture and i loved the whole look of it.
Unfortunately, they changed the management or some sort and all the furniture is gone :(
It still is nice and cosy thou, very good service!

Second sis came back from Hongkong on the 19th! :)
Spent the day with her yesterday having lunch with grandma.
We then headed back to her gran's house for mahjong!
Started off pretty good, winning a few rounds here & there,
until gran's true colours emerged and won five rounds consecutively.
Lost 8$.

Went to Bugis for a bit of shopping, and then went home, empty handed.
Had dinner then went to grandma's house, mum's.
Helped with the CNY decorations & then started playin' mj again.
Lost 4.2$

Damn.
Had a nice day today as well.
Aston's with sister & parents for lunch.
Then headed on to meet Cass.
Hate going to town on weekends, so darn crowded!
Accompanied her around, we talked more than we shopped..really. :P
Luckily she bought some stuffs before i met her.
Yonglin finished work and came to look for us, wasn't as awkward as i thought it would be.
Glenny came to meet Cass, they met up with their friend.
Both group ate at Marche but on a different table.
Awesome awesome day catching up w evryone!

Took polaroids with Cass and it was damn cui HAHA.
One of em, my face got cut off. The other one, half of cass's forehead was cut off.
OHWELLZ.
Great, great day :)

Am looking forward to seeing everyone during CNY!
Have a great CNY everybooddddyyyy <3

Took this photo with his phone when he was slping,

posted it on twitter saying,
'She is such an awesome friend! Who? of course haha!'

Even tagged myself hee

It's quite cui but it's the only photo ive got.

Planned to go to town to shop alone today, and to visit krys @ taka.

This guy woke me up early in the morning, and so, we had an impromptu meetup.
Its very very tough shopping w guys so i kinda just accompanied him to get his stuffs.

He's my best friend. He really am.

Thanks for always being here yun yong lin!

8 years & counting!!!

2012-01-11T02:07:00.001+08:00

Sakae for lunch w dad, awesome. : >
Shouldn't have ordered a main meal thou, quite a waste of money.
They kinda increased the price of the softshell crab handroll to $4.29. :(
It still does taste like heaven thou.

Went back home, and headed out to Woodlands to meet up w monkey.
Sorry that i was late today monkeeeeyyy!
It was a nice meetup, even thou it only lasted for 2 hours or so.
I love how we always have tons of stories to tell each other,
we'll need days to finish telling our stories. :)

Met up w krys, supposed to have mac & then play bowling/pool.
We were talking bout my holiday & i told her bout how ive yet to see wenjie.

& i really really want to.
then she mentioned the craziest idea - looking for him at nearly 10pm.
We had no idea where he lived exactly, so we called Kaikiat.
KK only knew the block he's livin' in.

So we randomly went fb chat and asked Yihao who was online then,

he gave us amazing directions on how to go there.

Obviously we found his house, and him, and muffin.

Today ended really well cuz i was so very happy to see him.

Haven't seen him since July 2010! D:

Thank you krystal goh for accompanying me, love our crazy adventures.

Thank you monkey for taking time out to meet up with me and sharing every bit of your life to me.
Love you girls <3

I had a really nice day today, really.
Today's an 'anything is possible' day.

2012-01-10T03:20:00.000+08:00

Botak Jones with the girls and a few of the 2-3 guys last fri.

My first time eating botak jones, heard bout it ages ago thou.

It was MEH, quite overrated i feel. Wasn't that good.

I foolishly poured the sauce that they provided over my lovely chicken,
it was freakin' spicy. - _ -

Safra for pool after.
I actually thought that my skills for playing pool shld be at least average by now,
judging by the number of times ive went to play pool in Melbourne.
Was so wrong, i still suck at pool. :( Sadly.
Got trashed by Desmond within minutes! & i kinda dragged whoever i'm teamed with down.

HEE.

5th photo was Weiting and I's winning shot.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA Andrew got the black ball in, twice.

Haven't woke up in the morning since quite some time ago,
so it was indeed a challenge for me to meet jessie at ten today.
Was late.
Had delifrance & chatted all the way from 1030 till 1230.
She then drove me to SP & i left to collect Alicia's developed photos.
Had the most epic day today,
i went shopping in town but didn't really see anythng I like.
Then i spent $9 on bad Starbucks Coffee & bad Starbucks Red Velvet Cupcake.
I then decided to walk around, and soon found myself walking from town to Bugis.
Thought of a very lovely idea of heading to the library to read up on photography.

Then i realised that my shorts got stuck in my bag's zip.
I awkwardly sat down and spent the next 10 mins trying to get it out of the zip,
to no avail.
So my bag was literally stuck to my butt. FML.
Decided that i should head home & change.

Managed to get my shorts off the zip.
Told my maid bout it and we both had a laugh.
Then she said 'Why didn't you go to the toilet, take your shorts off & then attempt to take it off the zip?'
My face went 'O.O'

She laughed and said 'Ahhh, you're not smart..'

-.-

Met up w clem after a good shower at tanjong pagar.
Surprised krystal, coincidentally saw jiawei..
Met up with everyone else @ lai lai.

Ate the biggest plate of noodles ever. Rather costy.

Desserts @ ji de chi.

Awesome night with everyone! :>

ENJOYED MYSELF MANY MANY.

Fap ftw LOL.

2012-01-06T02:59:00.004+08:00

Happy 2012 : )

In the past 45 mins i have been typing out every single outing ive had from dec till now,
and then i stopped & erased every single paragraph.
Just because i know that the photos are enough to make me remember.
plus the fact that it's really quite a lot to type if i were to talk about every single outing.

And so, the above photos portrays exactly how my life is right now.
Happy.

To every single friend out there, who has been there for me, who has came into my life and left, who has made me happy/sad/mad/jealous/crazy,

thank you for making me who i am now, thank you for once being in my life, even if it was for a while.

I hope that when we grow, mature, know new friends.. in short, change..

we'll never forget the memories we had once created together.

& one day, just one day,
we'll be as childish, as crazy, as stupid as before.

& we wouldn't even care about what others think...

Just because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

HEE MY FAV QUOTE.

Promise i'll update soon. Not today.

2011-12-15T02:52:00.000+08:00

My days have been fun-filled thanks to a bunch of lovely friends
who have brought so much happiness into my life. :>
Had a mahjong session @ clem's house till 6am on mon night,
they then headed to the airport while i headed home.
It has been sucha long time since we slacked and chilled like that. Pretty awesome.

Miss bek was lovely enuf to meet up with me at 830pm.
Had a great night chatting and catching up w each others' lives,
to the extent that we lost track of the time and ended up missing the last train.
So both of us have to take the bus home.
Felt bad that she had to take a dreadful & long bus 30 ride home :(
Still, i love you!

Had lunch w jasmine today! :)
been a long time since i saw her.
Was quite scared that things would seem awkward but obviously i was thinking too much.
We had an amazing afternoon spent together, with topics coming one after another.
She was amazed at how much i can eat. :P
Met up with monkey after for supper/dinner.
Had an hour plus walk from coronation plaza to bukit timah plaza,
saw nothing but construction sites.
On a side note, i'm truly sorry cuz i was late when meeting both jasmine & monkey! :(
Had a nice meet up w her, as usual. :)

Tried milo godzilla, it's nothing much really haha.
& tosai masala or something hahaha.
Spammed photos & then took a bus home.

Awesome, awesome day.
I always seem to be eating no matter where i'm at! Shit, fat die me.
At 2am, mr yun yong lin dabaoed & came to look for me w youtiaoz & soya bean milk! ^ ^
Saw him in specs for the first time!
SEE, evidence that friends are really tryin' to get me fat!
Still love him nonetheless for being such an awesome friend.

Hell's kitchen sooooo addictive. Just saying.

Bye.

2011-12-06T00:30:00.001+08:00

Hi all, i'm back.
Back on blogger, back home.
I'm pretty happy to have done some of the things on my to-do list.

Arrived in lovely Singapore Saturday evening, was greeted by rain & an ironically still hot & humid weather.
Went to hwachong to have dinner cuz i missed the tofu & the baby kailan w garlic.

YUMZ.

Ticked off my top thing to do - Get my DSLR.

I didn't really care about the price cuz i've alr saved up for it and all i really wanted was for it to be in my hands.

Sister still managed to haggle & got it at a cheaper price :>

My new baby, the Canon EOS 600D.

Wiv an awesome swivel screen for me to camwhore w friends!

Spent Sunday visiting grandparents,
and sunday night going to karaoke w sister & her friends.

Followed by dimsum for supper.

Met up w krys this morn to dye our hair!!!!!

Wasn't as red as we wanted to, we actl wanted reddish brown.

apparently it's really just brown.

Nevertheless i'm still happy cuz my hair's got colour & ive trimmed all my split ends.

Cass came to cut her hair after & got her hair really quite short..

Went to town after.

All in all, it was an awesome day catching up and just seeing them really.

Enjoyed myself a lot today! :)

LOVEYOUCASS&KRYS <3

Hope i'll see you soon!!!!!

Before everyone leaves for bali :(

2011-11-18T19:38:00.001+08:00

Trams are havin' huge moustaches on em cuz of movember

it's an awesome november ;)

Kbbq & karaoke ytd w friends, it was good.

We sang for the whole 6 hours or so.

Then it was school this morning,

felt so proud of myself for being able to force myself out of bed today.

plus still be able to hand up an assignment.

ha ha.

Then met up with friends in the city. Last min.

I actually planned to do assignments :P

had harajuku crepes (!!!)

With awesome iced coffee cuz the weather today was so damn hot.

Almost felt like i was back in sg, except sg's worse.

Then we went to take neoprints, it was a lot of fun.

Arcade after, with yours truly playing basketball for i think 45 mins of the whole hour.

We had a total of 1035 tickets in the end.

hiakhiakhiakhiak. >:D

dinner & then home.

Tiring but fun day.

And yes, i still need to find a day to do my assignments.

ALSO.
Annie bought me this pair of gyobdah totoro slippers.
Love it to bits! :)

<3

2011-11-15T19:13:00.001+08:00

Taken today.

Helped out with High Tea on my day off.

Am glad i took part in it cuz it was a pretty spectacular experience.

Even thou i feel that i didn't really do much cuz most of the things were prepared beforehand by classmates.

All i really did was help a bit here and there.

The prawns with pepperberry aioli tasted SO good.

I think i'm officially not allergic to prawns anymore, never really knew if i was allergic to it in the first place.

Had a ball of fun working w everyone! :)

Worked yesterday, wanted to mop the kitchen's floor.

Placed the hose into the pail, pressed the 'degreaser' button & the hose FLEW.

Didn't really expect it to burst out so it kinda flew everywhere and i got myself wet.

Spelled like degreaser.

-_-

My tram had a huge moustache on it yesterday morning.

It was cool as.

Felt so tempted to touch it...

That's all.

2011-11-13T21:32:00.001+08:00

Work these days was crazy as.
Flu bugs found me, but I'm almost well now. Even managed to finish the most boring yet time consuming assignment by the worst teacher you'll ever meet.

Am proud of myself. *pats myself* ^-^

Also,

HAPPY BDAY KOH HUI LAN <3

2011-11-08T21:49:00.000+08:00

From not knowing anyone here in Melbourne,

to knowing awesome friends,

to baking hundreds and hundreds of desserts,

to gettin' a wonderful job that i enjoy very much,

to being lucky enough to get closer with colleagues,

to gettin' more shifts which kinda meant more money as well,

to being busy w work,

to being busy w school work.

This is how life turned out for me.

& there are days when all i ever thought of was work, school, work school.

The only days when i'm free from both work and school,

i spend them with friends.

i enjoyed it a lot, its tiring but it's fun at the same time.

but this is how i got carried away by things.

Parents found it harder to contact me, i hardly ever talked to my grandparents,

i hardly ever go online in MSN and have a good quality chat with friends.

Don't get me wrong, i don't hate the life i have now,

its just that i got too carried away with life that i took things for granted.

Point is, i feel that everyone should just stop for a moment,

and think about what's really dear to you.

To me, my family is what's closest to my heart.

& so, to the ones i love,

Please stay healthy.

Please stay happy.

Please stay safe.

Also, to the world's greatest mum who nags too much sometimes but is still as awesome,

Happy birthday.

2011-11-07T20:03:00.002+08:00

G'day, how was your seven eleven day?

For Melbourne, everyone gets a free slurpee from 7/11.

^-^V

Had a chocolate macaron demonstration from an ex student today,

it was sucha torture looking at the process, feeling so hungry and knowing that you can't eat it..yet.

My stomach grumbled so loud, it was a tad embarrassing.

I excused myself, bought a hot dog and power ate it like a boss.

Also, i had a Food Safety Program Theory Test today.

My teacher for this module sucks big time,

we are probably the only class that doesn't know what we're doing.

But anyw, i spent 3 bloody hours memorizing bacteria names.

& there wasn't any questions on them at all!!!

FML.

Glad it's over.

Next's handing up the Food Safety Program itself, double FML.

Planned to finish the Food Safety Program up tonight,

but..

Since i'm queen of procrastination and slacking..

I'll finish it tmr :D

Also, i tripped on the edge of my sofa twice today.

Evidence that im too tired to do anything that will kill braincells.

I officially declare myself 'unfit' for studying.

goodbye.

2011-11-05T13:44:00.003+08:00

Photo Of The Day.

@ Lt Bourke St

One of the few days when Melbourne's sunny & hot. :)

Went to the city for a walk, just because the weather's too good.

Decided to walk home from the city, took me a good whole 40 minutes.

With my music accompanying me, my itouch that has amazing photo effects, and a weather that ive missed so much. You cannot imagine how much i enjoyed myself, with that occasional smiling to myself.

Life is good.

Now, now. I need to study.

2011-11-03T21:04:00.001+08:00

Mum came to visit me last week, instantly transformed my already clean apartment to a sparkling clean & dust free apartment. Her perseverance with wiping down every single thing u can spot at home with a damp cloth still amazes me a bit. A lot of home cooked meals consisting of a large serve of eggs every meal cuz she absolutely love eggs. She shopped A LOT, plus its all the cheap deals! Unfortunately, i had to pay for my own shopping cuz i kinda haolian to her that ive got pay/$$ now & she went 'pay for it urself ah, gt pay already' damn :p sadface. All in all, it was a good 5 days spent with her. :).

My life have been filled w school & work, plus outings with colleagues and friends. Its a pretty good balance of fun and fatigue. Got into a tiny misunderstanding w Ansonii-San and he folded me an origami box with three papercranes in it becuz papercranes meant peace. Gyobpdah!

Also, last week's work was crazy all becuz of qantas. Had dinner w colleagues after, I managed to finish a hugeass honeycomb cheesecake! So very proud of that heheheh. Also, i tried on a bike helmet for the first time and am convinced that my head's pretty big. Haha! Speaking of honeycomb, we made some during choc class this week. The procedures were cool as, especially when u see the batter kinda rise likka volcano.

That's all I can remember really.
Sooooo sayonara.

2011-10-11T21:31:00.002+08:00

HIATUS.

2011-10-05T19:28:00.002+08:00

Yes i have been well.
10 days of work passed like that, my holidays ended like that.
Well i wouldn't say that it's absolutely tormenting, cuz after a while you just get used to, or rather, immune to the long hours and the working everyday.
but all in all, it has been sucha great & fun experience for me.
Didn't regret taking up this job even thou it took half of my holiday away.
Got my hard earned moolahs & even got to bring home free bananas! :)

Soz i finally completed my assignment that's due tomorrow.
Very last minute i know, i blame procrastination 80% & 20% work.
Went to bind it & then had dinner with Frans & Marcus.
Marcus just got a job at the cupcake shop in the city so he got to bring cupcakes back home.
& i ate half of them :P
It has been such a long time since ive eaten em, to the extent that ive forgotten bout the joy that a cupcake can bring when you eat them & the flavours just blend and melt in your mouth.

It was awesome.

Decided that i should bake cupcakes soon. :)

School has started and i need to end this 'not enuf holiday' mood of mine and get my life back on track.
+ start studying jap again, i stopped studying it since i got busy.
& ive not been to the library to borrow books since... i got busy.
Since i'm back to one job now, i presume that my free time will be back.
CANT WAIT. :)

Anddddddddd daylight saving's back.
We are officially back to 3 hours difference Melb & SG time D:

Bye.

2011-09-28T21:37:00.000+08:00

One word.

TIRED.

Working at the Royal Melbourne Show has been an awesome experience for me so far,

its almost the same routine everyday.

I'm sleeping at 1030pm everyday just so i get enough sleep & energy to last me the next.

Work definitely took its toll on me after the first shift, but i'm gettin' used to it.

Crepes are my every meal now.

The weather was so bad today that it kinda stopped its operation.

Which means we get to finish early. :D

I did 8.5h today instead of 12h, how awesome is that!

Even without the bad weather, there weren't much customers today.

Made a few crepes here & there~

Finally..

After working:

Last fri - 6pm till 1030pm @ MCG

Last Sat - 8am till 1230pm @ Amora Hotel, 2pm till 5pm @ MCG, 530pm till 830pm @ RMS

Last Sun - 830am till 4pm @ Amora

Mon - 10am till 9pm w an hr's break @ RMS

Tues - 0930am till 6pm w an hr's break @ RMS

Today - 830am till 530pm @ RMS.

I GET A DAY OFF.

& guess what? I'm heading back to RMS.

To pllllaaaayyyy alll the rides and have the time of my lifeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Its gonna be so awesome.

I feel so proud of myself having survived everythng.

Even thou i'm only really half way through :P

Oh & the photos were taken today, cuz the weather was that bad.

none of us had umbrellas w us, okay except for loraine.

So we used transparent 'garbage' bags and made em into a poncho.

Felt as if we were in little deflated bubbles HAHA.

Can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY PEOPLE!

2011-09-19T19:03:00.000+08:00

My sunday was spent differently this week.

I actually went to meet up with this lovely girl instead of going straight home after work.

Yes she is currently in Melbourne now visiting her sister.

Firstly i have to admit that whenever i'm with her, we walk A LOT.

Went back to her sis's apartment to get her DSLR after meeting up,

then i brought her to Federation Square & we played w the matrix thingy. HEHE.

Watched short films @ ACMI.

Had pie face while walking to Crown Casino. :D

Finally got to use my entertainment card coupons hahahaha.

Played an hour of unlimited arcade games, mainly BASKETBALL.

God i miss it sooooo freakin' much.

We changed our tickets for 2 boxes of heart shaped paper clips.

They seem to be the only practical 'gifts' amongst all of em.

Went to Eureka skydeck after.

Freaking 88 storeys high!!!

Meh. it wasn't exceptionally spectacular or anything, just alright.

Dinner @ Kimurakan, dessert @ Monga Cafe.

Very very very very shiok hong kong waffle.

She stayed over at my house.

We chatted & watched 'Hello, Stranger' again.

Only fell asleep at 530am :P

It was a ball of fun & i'm so happy to have caught up with her here.

CUZ ITS COOL.

;)

Hopefully i'll be able to meet up with her again soon, fingers crossed.

Can't wait for december & catch up with everyoneeeee.

2011-09-16T21:31:00.001+08:00

First things first, HOLIDAYS ARE HERE BABY. :)
Started off my holiday with work yesterday night, it was tiring but still pretty awesome all in all.
Went to the Tattoo & Body Art Expo w friends,
Lauren got herself a tattoo on her ankle & jessie got an ear piercing.
The sound of the machine freaks me out a bit. & everyone, EVERYONE had tattoos on them.
No matter where you looked at, you would see people getting emselves tattoos.

Sienna brought her DSLR camera w fish eyes lens.
Swear that's the coolest thing ever. even thou it makes your face bigger..
Am considering gettin' one fish eye lens as well :P
After i get my DSLR hiakhiakhiak.>:D

They had this fashion show going on and one of em was like nude chicks.
EVERYONE SAW THEM BUT ME.
Ohwell hahaha. It was a good experience thou, i'm still convinced that i won't get tattoos.
At least not now and not in the next five years..

Went to meet up with Annie & Ben for pool & dinner.
Has been ages since ive played pool.
Amazed myself a couple of times, didn't really expect the ball to go in.
I didn't even plan to let it go in, all i wanted was to hit the ball.
There was once i hit the ball and i went 'shit. why doesn't the ball go in?!'
Then in the next second, the ball did some awesome bouncing off the edges stunt,
AND WENT IN.

literally jumped for joy. :D

Dinner @ red silk & then went home.
Ohyes before i forget, i dreamt that krys cutie died yesterday.
It was one of the scariest dreams ive had and i kept crying and crying and crying in my dream.
When i woke up, i was in tears and i saw her whatsapp on my phone.
I was really relieved that it was just a dream & everything's good :)

I love you krys wu hehehe, can't wait to get red hair. woowoowoo.
+ see you in novembeeeerrrrr. ;)

2011-09-14T20:16:00.000+08:00

Finished 2 assessments like a boss today.

If the first photo doesn't look like a duck to you, I'LL KILL YOU.

I'm happy with my work even thou i know i should stop making kiddish showpieces.

But then again, i don't have any artistic kinda genes in me at all. None. Zero.

School's out in one day's time. :)

Sucks to have work on the last day of school thou :(

Oh well. HAPPY TO HAVE PASSED & FINISHED THIS SEMESTER.

Can't wait for december's arrival.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2011-09-11T21:15:00.002+08:00

Dinner w friends after a mega long day at work,

bought mooncakes & lanterns :)

Then we went walking around Footscray w the lanterns.

Thank you my friends who made me happy like a 7 year old.

I hope you guys enjoyed yourself as much as i did.

Luv luv luv.

2011-09-07T16:50:00.001+08:00

Today, i had the most productive Wednesday out of this 8 weeks.

Managed to cut out my totoro & covered the cake w fondant.

My design's really simple & really kiddish but oh whatever, it's still a bday cake.

Keeping my fingers crossed on the end product. :S

Then i had sugar work class & finally made something for that 4h, something real.

This. was supposed to be a rubber duck.

& it's my practice before next week's assessment.

Unfortunately, this has been recognised by others as

1. A chicken

2. A bird

3. WHAT IS THAT

Thankfully, i still have friends who amazingly managed to see what i made.

Just so you know, that blue thing's supposed to be a teardrop.

But by the time i regretted my action & wanted to take it out, it was already stuck there. :(

am keeping my fingers crossed again for next week's assessment.

& then i got greeted by the loveliest thing ever in my mailbox today.

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3

A few weeks back i was thinking of gettin' something for myself as a reward for my hard work working each week & i didn't wanna spend it on food & clothes.

So i thought of getting this!

Keep Calm & Carry On book.

Most awesome buy this month :D

2011-09-05T21:38:00.000+08:00

Random Ice cream cravings w Loraine Ting.
Probably also the cause of me being stopped by bouncers when they entered a restaurant bar.
Damn why does eating ice cream equate to being childish & 'young'? RIDICULOUS.
Well i shld probably be happy that at least i look underaged to them.
Second & third's taken on Saturday (3rd), on Diana's farewell party.
Meet my 18 year old, same sch, different course, colleague at Amora friend, Elaine.
Yes both of us look silly with our eyes barely open -_-
+ my food & beverage supervisor, Annie, who loves mustache & owns a totoro wallet. (Y)
Randomly decided that i shall catch the sunset today, and so i went to St kilda. Took a painful 40 minutes to get there, i blame the tram. In short, i caught the sunset without the sun. Then had dinner @ Old Town Kopitiam eating my all-time fav Chicken Rice which kinda let me down cuz their standard dropped once again. I AM THE CHICKEN RICE CRITIC. Had Red Mango after that, and that yogurt never fails me :)
CHOCOLATE SHOWPIECE DONE TODAY. YOU DONT KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM TO HAVE FINISHED IT. I GOT AN A BTW. WOO.

2011-09-01T18:14:00.000+08:00

Dinner @ Rose Garden yesterday w lewis & frans.

& this was just to show that I TOTALLY DO EAT VEGGIES.

Just saying. ^-^V

Caught a msian movie called 'Nasi Lemak 2.0'

Brought me back to Singapore, when movies are all super random & lame.

Not forgetting the use of Singlish as well.

One of the guy character was called "Lan Qiao" & the whole cinema laughed.

Becuz Lewis's from mauritius, he doesn't understand.

I think he didn't understand maybe 30% of the show.

The director, apparently a famous msian youtuber called 'Namewee', came as well.

The whole cinema was filled w people & it was first come first serve.

I had to sit on the second row -_-

all in all, i had a good laugh. :)

2011-08-28T20:07:00.002+08:00

Tiring, tiring day.

Worked @ Amora from 8 till 12 & then rushed to MCG & worked from 1 till 5.

Breakfast was ultra busy today,

was s'posed to do the buffet but i went to do hallway job as well.

And after being uber busy sitting customers & asking 'any coffee or tea for you?'

My buffet was almost in a mess, and then i mega topped up food.

All in all, i'm convinced that i can't really juggle my work well.

Will totally focus on buffet first next time & only help out when my buffet's perfect.

Am very grateful to have awesome supervisors who still feel that i've done well,

despite me feeling as if i've not worked good enough. :)

My day then got worse when i couldnt hail a taxi.

So in the end i took a tram and ran like shit to MCG.

It was also then when i realise how sucky my stamina is.

Work was alright,but those 'hands trembling when cutting bananas

cuz of nervousness' moments never fail to come at some point in time.

& i need to be faster.

Moral of the day is that i probably shldn't have such high expectations on my work performance.

But i'll keep trying :)

Too...much..homework..

need...to...start...clearing...them...

TRIPLE SIGH

AND BYE.

2011-08-22T13:53:00.002+08:00

It has been ages since i've posted something on this nearly dead blog of mine.

Life has been treating me well, school hasn't.

Assignments are piling up like crap and i have so much more i have yet to cover.

On a brighter note, it seems that i will have lesser and lesser school days.

For example, i have successfully passed my first aid lesson.

Do not even ask me why i have first aid lesson in the first place,

BUT. at least i passed & i get a cert for it! : )

Point is, I NO LONGER HAVE SCHOOL ON FRIDAYS. :D :D :D

Envious much?

Work has been lovely, and i have been enjoying it very much, despite having to wake up early in the morning when everyone else is probably sleeping.

Had a gathering with classmates from the previous semester last friday.

One of my friend is no longer studying in WAI & she's gnna head back to korea for holidays.

So we met up and had a blast. : )

Came home pretty late that night, had power sleep of probably 5 hours.

Went to work in the morning.

Came back home, had power sleep of 2 hours. Headed out to work again.

This time, to another place called Crepes & Coffee.

Lewis Loraine & Alicia works thr.

& it is seriously a ball of fun! : ) Even thou i might need more practice and stuff.

But i felt as if i was in an iphone game or some sort.

That kinda sushi game whereby a customer orders something & you press the ingredients.

just that in this case, the sushis were crepes.

& i was the person taking the ingredients, wrapping em up and giving them to the customer.

We had to cut up bananas on the spot, and customers could see EVERYTHING you do.

I had to be fast, i had to fold the crepe nicely etc etc.

So i was bloody nervous, not kidding. My hands were literally trembling!

Then at another point in time, i became serious. (when it started to get busy)

And i tried to be faster, so i kinda threw the spatula on the stove after i packed the crepes.

When i was actually supposed to place the spatula under the stove.

I then realised that i did the wrong thing and quickly placed the spatula under the stove.

Unfortunately, Lewis & Loraine saw that.

& that was the joke of the day.

They told Alicia 'WA SHE THOUGHT SHE MAKING ROTI CANAI LEH.'

AND HER FACE VERY FIERCE.' ZZZ and all of them started laughing.

All in all, i enjoyed myself very much that day.

Worked at Amora the next morning! Felt likka superwoman.

Cuz i expected myself to be tired and feeling like shit & doing things like shit.

But everything turned out perfect instead. I had energy, managed the buffet well, am very satisfied with my performance!

Today, Alicia was a blur sotong & left her phone in the toilet.

someone picked it up & called one of my friend becuz he was the first on her contact list.

We were supposed to call Alicia's number to contact the person who picked it up,

but none of us could get through. It was as if her phone was off.

So we kinda panicked, but we knew that the person should be on the same level as us.

And then we planned to ask every class, to find that person.

One of the class just got dismissed & everyone started to come out.

I started to panic a little because if everyone left, we won't be able to find that person then.

So.. i randomly asked a girl 'erm did you go to the ladies just now & ..'

before i even finish my sentence, that girl said 'Yes'

Then i thought she didn't get what i meant and thought that i was asking her whr is the toilet or some sort.

Then i asked again, 'oh erm did you see a phone in the toilet?'

She said yes again & this time i srsly thought that she didn't get what i mean.

Until she reached for something in her bag & alicia's phone appeared.

IT WAS DAMN AMAZING.

It was like i had lucky hands today or something.

Cuz it was just a random girl, and the FIRST girl i asked.

Dont know if you get what i mean but..

I HAVE LUCKY HANDS TODAY WOOOOOO.

Am sooooo happy that i get to sleep in tomorrow.

I miss sleep and i am looking forward to sleeping tonight : D

have a gday yaalllll.

2011-08-16T21:23:00.002+08:00

I have no idea what i have been doing for the past few days.

All i know is time has been flying past me & i'm almost, barely there.

During the holidays, when it's 11pm, i will be 'meh, still early'

Now, when it's 11pm, i will be 'shit i have to sleep now'

This kinda sucks.

Anyways i have been sucha procrastinating queen for the past few days.

I wrote a note saying 'IRON CLOTHES. VACUUM.'

That note has been on my table for days now,

& my pile of clothes that needs to be ironed is still lying there.

triple sigh.

On a brighter note, i have successfully ticked off 3 of my assignments.

: D My aim is to stop procrastinating & do what has to be done asap.

I'm getting there.. getting there..

Had coffee heats today!

Sadly and not very sadly, my espresso sucked cuz i kinda overdosed it.

My milk was good but there wasn't enough foam.

Well i'm supposed to be disappointed with myself cuz during the coffee practices,

i have NEVER, NEVER, overdosed before. SUAY LOR.

Haha but i'm still very happy because i know that my coffee has improved.

Now all i have to do is to re-read the different types of coffee,

so that if i get a chance to make coffee at work, i will! :D

Had an awesome dinner with Alicia Loraine & Pohlian.

This week is gonna be a busy week, with assignments and work.

I always thought that weekends are supposed to be the most relaxing part of the week,

apparently not.

Good news! I'm gonna work at Crepes & Coffee together with Alicia & Loraine :>

Am very looking forward to it! Just hoping that i'll do well. hehe trying my best.

Am looking forward to Tuesday.

I borrowed 2 food magazine and one storybook a few days ago,

and till now, i didn't have the time to read them.

I was either slacking or procrastinating hahahahaha.

Gotta change that habit of mine.

I feel likka busy woman! Dont know if thats a good thing or not.

ALSO, it was Goh Xuan Yang's birthday yesterday! : )

& so.. to the guy who can never get fat, happy birthday! <3

Update when i'm free next time HEE

2011-08-14T14:42:00.002+08:00

Two of my friends messaged me & asked me bout assignments today.

Probably a sign for me to start panicking and do em.

Work wasn't as busy as what ive expected today.

Still good : )

Sent my resume to Loraine's workplace cuz i wnna work there during my sept hols.

Was happy when my friend messaged me 'HEY my boss said your resume was super good.'

Left me with a smile hanging on my face.

Then the next message came..

'She thought that you were a guy! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'

-_-|||

2011-08-12T12:27:00.002+08:00

Did a massive clean up of the apartment, had thai food w friends,

realised that all assignments are charging right at me, at the same time,

have got work this weekend, joined the coffee competition but have zero confidence at all,

shot myself in the foot cuz i still have to think of my signature coffee drink by tues

and i clearly have more than enough assignments for me to do this weekend..

this is the time when i need to keep calm and study.

JIAYOU KHY. : )

In a heartbeat

2011-08-09T15:32:00.003+08:00

Coffee practice session today : )

I just can't get rid of those tiny bubbles on the surface thou.

Anyway.

Dear Singapore,

Thanks for offering the best food i can ever eat at such cheap prices,

thanks for awesome student prices movie tickets,

thanks for being sucha safe & kinda clean country,

thanks for so many more things.

I'm very proud to be a Singaporean, even if it's just a tiny red dot.

Nothing feels more like home than in Singapore.

: )

2011-08-08T23:25:00.002+08:00

During my shifts, i always see this guy either sitting down doing work or walking around.

& each time i see him, he's always friendly enough to say hi, how are you & smile.

Today when i was working, i saw him again.

After he foot the bill, i asked annie, my supervisor..

"Who is this guy? Does he stay here often? I always see him around."

Annie giving the O.O face :

"He comes here often, he's the general manager of this hotel. he's ur boss!"

FML i saw him so many times & i never once knew that he's like the highest of the highest.

Suaku ttm!

Well, i guess it's better late than never : P

TIREDLIKEA#@%%^$#$#@&^*

love love love

2011-08-08T00:00:00.000+08:00

To the glutton in self-denial, happy 18th & i love you for being you.

enjoy your day today love, i say i say i say : )

12am aussie timez cuz i needa slp. TEEHEE.

2011-08-04T20:49:00.002+08:00

Please allow me to repeat once more - 8AM LESSONS ARE KILLIN' MEEEE.
4 hours theory lessons can bore me to death.
Do not know how i am gnna survive next year cuz it's a whole semester of theory, meaning 8 months of pure boredom.
Left my textbook in the library, only realised it after 4 hours. Good job.
The textbook is by far the most expensive one, costs me $36 AUS. FML.
Am praying that the kind souls who work in the library will hopefully notice it and help me keep it.
Sick bugs are fighting in my body nao. My nose never stopped running T-T

2011-08-01T23:09:00.002+08:00

Recent happenings in my life :

Am back to tetris battle & is currently pretty addicted to it. Send me energy!
My tcher was sick for a week now, so today's morning practical was nothing but a 1.5hour video watching session. Which was good cuz 'Kings of pastry' was awesome (Y) & i totally feel for that guy who dropped his showpiece in the last minute!!!
Had a bloody boring Food Safety Plan lesson, then realised that i forgot to unplug my thumbdrive from the comp. Ran likka mad woman back to the room to find that it was locked & have to walk a looong way back to find th tcher.
Last minute work today, mastered holding 6 wine glasses on a hand. best move ever! On the other hand, my legs are aching. badly.
Realised that a voicemail is essential cuz people here DO leave voicemails. & in order for me to listen to em, i have to create an acct w me saying 'this is huiying blablabla' etc. I refused to do so, and decided to record the sound of passing cars & random ppl's conversations. HAHA then i realised that my mum thought that i picked up & she was 'hello.. hello.. hello.. *hangs up*' HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Note to self: Change my voicemail thingy.
Joined the coffee competition in my school. Not interested in the competition, just interested in more coffee practice sessions. And the first one's tomorrow.

Am tired like a $%($#%#@.

2011-08-01T14:18:00.003+08:00

As much as i love having my sleeping hours back on track cuz "早睡早起，身体好”

8am classes & 8am shifts are killin' me.

I miss my 12 to 14 hours sleeps during holidays.

Oh i miss em so. : (

Take all chances, drop all fears.

2011-07-30T20:29:00.002+08:00

Finally found another reason to learn driving today, other than for supper,

and that is just so i can get to my workplace in 10 minutes.

Cuz i freakin' need at least an hour for me to get from home to my workplace.

TRIPLE SIGH.

Worked for 2.5 hours today : (

Hopefully i'll get more hours tml. hahaha cuz thr's always more customers on Sundays.

Met up w Alicia, Paulie, Anthony & Lewis after that for our day tour in melbourne.

Mainly because today's melbourne open day!

Which means there are tons of buildings open for public viewing!

We went to 2 church, the town hall, a rooftop garden & a temple.

Only found out today that we aren't supposed to wear hats in church cuz it's disrespectful.

All these close at 4 so we went to Fed Square after that,

to show the rest of em the 'karma' video. hahahaha.

Went to the Screen World Exhibition as well & played tons of games.

Even tried out the matrix effect thingy which was HILARIOUS.

I luv how i jump randomly & they catch my pony tail whipping up & down, in slow mo.

Just like how i planned to do that action w Krys & Keyo, using an awesome DSLR to capture it.

Loraine joined in & we had our dinner @ a thai restaurant.

We then discussed bout mooncake festival & i made a deal w em.

They actually wanted to come to my house to bake mooncakes or just simply celebrate it.

& then i made a deal w em. & that is, i allow them to come to my house.

But we'll go buy lanterns before that & then walk along smith street w lanterns.

:D Awesome or what!

Ah, this is why being in a foreign country's great - nobody knows you!

Anyways alicia ordered a spicy chicken set meal & she totally gave me a piece!

Me, not knowing it's spicy, ate it without rice or whatsoever. Just.like.that.

My ears were tomato red & i felt likka dragon.

All of them just laughed. I have evil friends.

K work tmr, havta sleep early like super early like really early like now.

Sigh i feel old.

2011-07-28T17:24:00.002+08:00

Today's the day when my class gets a tcher who says 'you're late by 3 mins, see me after class' Don't think anyone will be late next week. At all.
Got asked by Erni 'What's wrong with you' when i finished the salad on my bento.
Reece asked 'When you're getting Vitamin D from the sun, does it have to be the whole body?' We laughed. & he said 'No i mean, if my hands are under the sun and the rest of the body are not, will i only get Vitamin D on my hands?'

& we laughed even louder.
Was shown a video called 'Food Inc', showing how cows, pigs & chickens are killed & how badly they are being treated even before they get slaughtered.

This. left us all feeling :S

Alicia then turned to me & said 'Eat more veggies'

2011-07-26T21:48:00.002+08:00

My very fail showpiece that i had to last minute put up cuz my brain was out of ideas.

I didn't realise that i had such lack of colour until i assembled them together.

Well well well, i should really read up more books on showpieces.

Had a 'wonderful' experience w/o electricity & internet during the weekends.

Loooong story.

It felt almost like camping, but without the leeches and i had water supply & a decent toilet.

& my itouch died, water damage.

Sad thing was, i don't even know where the water came from.

Went to this apple store & they said there's nothing they can do about it.

Dead and gone~ :'(

But i will probably still try repair shops and see if i can get it repaired. haha.

Went to federation square after school w Alicia ytd.

Watched videos for free, mainly animations.

There was a video titled 'karma', the story?

Guy catches a pig > obviously cooked them & ate them > choked > died

> turned into a ghost and saw his past/sins or whatever you call it > Became a pig

> Caught by others > TADAAAA, KARMA.

Swear they made the animation look so scary, when the story ended w him getting caught,

Alicia & i went O.O

Then went to the ACMI museum & played w everything.

We tried the 'flip book' thingy & it was a helluva fun!!! We just couldn't stop laughing!

Went to the library & borrowed 2 more books today : )

SCH @ 8 TML. DREADING THE MORNING CLASSESSSSSSSSS.

Feels like JSS again.

OWELL BYE

2011-07-26T14:18:00.001+08:00

My 5 months old itouch died from drowning.

Bohua!

2011-07-23T00:15:00.000+08:00

To the girl who hates veggies as much as i do,

happy 18th birthday and i love you.

TASSIE

2011-07-17T17:51:00.024+08:00

Tasmania was a blast, i had my fill of photo taking!

Am even more looking forward to gettin' my hands on my DSLR

& snapping away anywhere & everywhere!

Am aiming to get it ASAP, so that i can explore Melbourne and take heaps more photos!

: )

Hobart > Bruny Island > Swansea > Launceston!

Loraine's friend came to pick us up from Hobart Airport, tiniest airport ever.

Then we headed to her place for dinner. Hobart's nice view is soooooo beautiful!

She taught us how to make dumplings!

It was funny how she could easily knead the dough to a nice dumpling shape,

then once the 3 of us started helping out, dumplings became curry puffs.

Next day we had lunch at this supposedly 'famous' fish 'n' chips place,

AND IT WASN'T NICE AT ALLLLLLL. The fries was so damn salty >.<

Headed to Tahune Forest after that & went to this airwalk.

It's actually just like a super long bridge.

My hands felt so numb cuz of the bloody cold weather!

Headed to Bruny Island via a ferry.

All we had was to drive into the ferry & it brings the car over.

Like cool only~

Sun sets at 5pm zzz

So by the time we really reached bruny island, it was pitch dark.

& had the longest winding road that never truly seem to end.

Especially when i needed to pee, REAL badly.

hahahahaha YES YOU GUESSED IT, it was so bad that i went to pee in the bush.

: D

We haven't got our accommodation settled for that night, plus it was late,

so most of the accommodation places were full.

We were lost and decided to go to an ulu convenience store to ask for directions.

The owner was a life savior cuz he helped us find a place to stay - Caravan Park.

First time going & staying in a caravan! : )

Had instant mee goreng for dinner, w luncheon meat & egg! : D

Next morning, we went to Bruny Island's main attraction.

It's a lookout area overlooking 2 beach w trees in the middle.

Had lunch at this very cool restaurant called Bish.

Smoked salmon and trout i think, either one : P

Mount Wellington after that.

SAW SNOW SAW SNOW SAW SNOW.

My shoes were so cui that i was almost slipping half the time up the mountain.

Didn't manage to reach the top of the mountain thou, cuz it was getting darker :/

WASTED I KNOW.

Dinner @ some indian restaurant, the food wasn't as nice as my previous indian cuisine.

MORE EXPENSIVE SOMEMORE, BO HUAAA.

Went on our way to the next destination - Swansea.

It was a long 2 hours rideeeeee, with the temperature at 2 degrees.

Once again, we haven't got our accommodation settled.

& the same thing happened, only worse because all of us didn't get reception.

The reception offices are mostly closed and we've got no where to go.

Thankfully we found a backpackers hostel, one which doesn't have much business.

Cuz only one guy was staying there.

Also, thanks to that guy, we managed to stay at the backpackers hostel.

Staying in the backpackers hostel was a good and bad experience,

cuz the bed was soo hard i felt the strain on my hips the next day.

& the water heater wasn't on so i couldn't get myself to wash my hair cuz i was freezing to death.

So i felt smelly, cold, and super uncomfortable while sleeping : (

Triple yuck.

Fish & chips, pasta & oysters for lunch the next day!

My first time eating RAW oysters.

I don't get why people can go crazy over oysters, haha i thought it was nice.

but not THAT nice hahahaha. HIGH IN CHOLESTEROL SOMEMORE.

Went to a number of bays and beaches after that.

Sleepy bay, cape bay, friendly beach yada yada.

The friendly beach was so nice, the sand was seriously WHITE. WHITE AND PRETTY.

& cuz the sun was setting, the sky was pink and blue and orange~

the photo doesn't bring justice to how the sky REALLY looks like.

It is SOOO much nicer than the photo i took!

Had a 2 hours drive up to Launceston after that.

4 days were gone just that, tiring but definitely fruitful!

On our last day, we went to Cataract Gorge Reserve & went on the chairlift!

Saw wallabies & peacocks : )

Spent 20 mins climbing up steep rocks to go to the 'eagle lookout'

SUCKED, all i saw was trees and nothing more - _ -

Went for lunch, then to a cafe & then to the airport~

& this is the end of my tassie trip.

: )

2011-07-12T01:23:00.002+08:00

Worked during the weekends! : )

didn't really take photos so this shall be a wordy post!

Am very sad to say that holidays are coming to an end, this is my last week.

: (

& i didn't manage to do things that i planned during the holidays.

such as baking more, having a shiok breakfast @ a nice cafe, didn't touch my driving theory book at all, haven't got my RSA, didn't read much on japanese, slept likka pig for half the holidays and waking up when sun sets.

Most importantly, i didn't go to the beach & slurp cup noodles in this freezing weather!

DAMN.

ohwell i'm sure that i will start baking more even when school starts,

cause my hands are itching to bake some muffs, cupcakes, cookies, cakes..

& i'm having sucha HUGE craving for cheesecake.

Esp. coffee bean's new york cheesecake. WOA WOA WOA.

K 'nuff said.

Even though my holiday didn't exactly go as planned, and it wasn't meaningful enough.

Like when friends ask, 'HOW WAS YOUR HOLIDAY?'

I won't be able to reply 'AWESOME I BAKED BLABLABLA, EXPLORED MELBOURNE AND HAD A HELLUVA FUN'

I'll probably say 'Good! I slept all day, slept all day.'

Hahaha no i'm actually surprised that i'm not regretting not doing much this holidays,

cuz frankly, i love sleeping!! & this holiday's just a period for me to get back all the sleep i've lost,

and to just nua at home happily (no, i'm not a zai nv)

The only thing that i really didn't expect was that i didn't meet up w friends at all!

& i totally remembered how we planned to meet on the first week of holidays.

then last minute things cropped up & yadayada.. evryone kinda did their own thing.

OHWELLLLLLLLLLL.

On a brighter note, I'M GOING TASMANIA W/ SIS & LORAINE TMR!

All the way till saturday! & then school starts!

EGGGCITED. : D

2011-07-06T19:56:00.003+08:00

Long overdued photos of fitzroy garden.

Asian meals - Prawn mee, hokkien mee & laksa.

All within 2 days!!!!

Baked puff pastry egg tarts just now. : )

Went to the library yesterday,

i'm an official member of the Fitzroy library!

& i can borrow up to 30 books! HOW COOL IS THAT.

heheheehehe borrowed mitch albom's tuesdays w morrie!

Am gnna read it again.

: D

2011-07-04T17:56:00.001+08:00

今天。

2011-07-02T19:43:00.003+08:00

Checked out of hotel > Home > Melbourne Aquarium > Albert Park.

I think i have officially fully maximized my free stay @ Amora w Sis.

I had a total of 3 hot water bath. : )

Had my breakfast brought to the room :

- 2 croissants (sucked cuz they put sugar on top, nobody does that!!)

- 2 toast w tomato, mushroom,poached egg, hashbrown & bacon.

- A cappuccino & an apple juice.

DAMN SHIOK.

Despite the fact that i stayed awake ALL NIGHT : (,

it was really disturbing how i just COULD NOT GET TO SLEEP.

I counted numbers for 2 hours, seemed like forever.

& i swear i counted up to 400 & I'M STILL FREAKING AWAKE.

Gave up in the end & went to read my storybook - The memory keeper's daughter.

And i finished reading it by 730! : D

Thus i decided that i should endure all the way till night,

then i'll get my body clock back to how it SHOULD be.

My eyes are literally closing as i type these words.

As seen in the above photos, i decided to go on a 'photography trip'

All thanks to Instagram which ignited that 'fire' within me again CHEH.

Frankly, i just want to play w Instagram's effects. : P

Del is addicted to it as well. :)

But i feel absolutely ridiculous using an itouch to take photos,

when people were holding their awesome DSLRs @ the Aquarium.

Whereas i had to hold my itouch & camp at the same spot for 5 minutes,

to try to get a shot of the swimming penguins.

& that's not the worse part, the worse part was...

I STILL DIDN'T FREAKIN' GET A CLEAR SHOT IN THE END.

So in conclusion, i want my Canon EOS550D.

Even the lady who was roaming alone like me looked more professional w her DSLR,

and i just look like a sad loser.. holding my itouch.. :'(

haha shall not wallow in self pity cause... I WILL GET MY DSLR ONE DAY.

first step: Stop spending what you painstakingly saved.

today was fun, i liked the feeling of being lost but not having a care bout it.

cuz i just walked around and then knew that there would be a tram back to the city.

: D Will go to random stations the next time!

JIAYOU.

Like a princess

2011-07-01T18:08:00.003+08:00

Baked mini cream puffs yesterday! : )

Well i didn't supposedly planned for it to be mini-sized,

but i guess i just overestimated it's power to rise.

Tasted not bad, it was a tad burnt but the cream's taste managed to cover it :S

& yes, i need so much more practice w my piping.

My first batch of cream puffs was a failure.

Cuz me, being crazy, freakin' opened the oven just to take a photo of em.

& yes again, being a 'pastry student', i should know better that the first 10 mins of choux pastry is the most crucial part where the mix starts to 'puff' up.

Gaaahhhh wasted the whole batch of em! They came out flat & ugly : (

Then i decided to bake another batch cuz i was THAT angry at myself for being sucha fool.

Sis got a 'qualitative & quantative assessment stay' @ her hotel today.

In short, A FREE STAY @ the hotel, and giving feedback afterwards.

So we had a free room, free dinner, free breakfast & free bar drinks.

AWESOME OR WHAAAAATTTTTTTT.

So while my sister went down for a drink w her colleagues,

i indulged myself in a hot water bath, holding my storybook & sipping tea every now & then.

IT'S THE SHIOK LIFE~

Sadly, i didn't know how to operate the stupid bath tub.

Apparently, it has massaging jets installed inside & i didn't freaking use it just now!!!! : (

Oh well.

Dinner was average but filling : )

I drank white wine & embarrassed myself when i ate chips & choked on my wine/chips.

I have no idea which one. but i was coughing like craaazy.

Other than that, i am enjoying myself very much.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Anyways my home internet's down & will probably stay that way for quite some time.

Contact me thru whatsapp, facebook or twitter! : )

Till then. BYE.

Chocoheaven

2011-06-28T22:54:00.002+08:00

Tried out this 'nutella mug cake'. : )

Well i didn't use nutella, i melted my own chocolate hehehehe.

Perhaps if i put it in the microwave for half a minute lesser, it'll be even nicer!

It'll be so much more gooey & all.

But this is such an easy, foolproof recipe for everyone.

Awesome recipe. :D :D :D

I advise people to put whipped cream & chocolate sauce over it.

As said in the recipe.

Swear that it'll bring the taste to a whole new level!

Am so sad that i didn't manage to see it rise up in the microwave.

Will make it a point to stay by the microwave for that 1.5 mins.

just to see the cake rise up like a balloooooonnnnnn :D

Hehehehehe. Timtam dunk, and now, this?

IT IS AWESOME.

Bye!

2011-06-27T23:48:00.003+08:00

Being a crazy fan of instagram's effects, these are the photos taken on sunday.
Went to Fitzroy Garden w sister.

& then to bimbo's for their awesome $4 pizza after.

I guess it really is nice having sucha variety of flavours to choose from in bimbo's,

but we had to wait for like 30mins for one pizza to come.

Then again, who cares. It's a $4 pizza, you won't get that price anywhere else here.

Still (Y).

Luv the photo w the heart shaped leaves.

Have been sleeping at 4am in the morning these few days,

making the afternoon seem really short since i only wake up @ 3pm.

At least i managed to do some chores & stuff to 'exercise' this body of mine.

& now i'm 15 minutes away to picking up my novel.

Accompanied by 2 timtams & a glass of milk.

Read my night away.

Did i tell you what my new found heaven is?
It is... TIM TAM DUNK.

I feel like sucha fool to have only known of this 'dunk' today.

To think that for the past few years, i have been foolishly eating timtams on its own.

So stupid. So so stupid.

everyone should try tim tam dunk, it's seriously SHIOK AHHHH.

Bye.

2011-06-23T18:42:00.005+08:00

These few days.

I've been very into this application named 'Instagram'.

It has awesome effects : ) As seen from above.

We spotted this five spices stew base at the supermarket & decided t try it.

Taste exactly like the one in Singapore : D

Obviously, after HOURS of cooking it.

TASTE LIKE HEAVEN!! *_*

Webcam w Yiting yesterday night
& we started searching youtube videos on how to tie fishtail braids.

So in the end we were seeing each other tying our hair in the webcam for an hour or so.

HAHAHAHA such random stunts just makes my day. :)

&&& OF COURSE I MANAGED TO TIE IT! Woohoooo.

My first pay arrived. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Hehehe walked ard Highpoint shopping mall.

Went to the pharmacy & spotted this giant tissue box.

HAHAAHAHA damn cool!

Dinner @ Hallah - korean restaurant.

The chicken wings were awesome, super duper crispy!

2011-06-17T01:42:00.002+08:00

Petit Four Assessment yesterday. :)

Present Desserts Assessment today - Baked Chocolate tart w poached pear & berry ice cream.

What does this mean?

YES HOLIDAYS ARE HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Awesome awesome holiday! : )

Having a month holiday at this time of the year also meant that

it's time for us to change classes AGAIN.

& i hate this! Every time we start to bond really well together,

we will be separated once more.

Anyw i present to you a few classmates of mine, in the above photos.

With us looking absolutely stunning.

We were celebrating the start of the hols, as well as Haylie's farewell.

This korean girl's gnna get a full-time job as a baker.

A sweet, sweet girl who always has her eyes lit up when she sees alcohol or food.

(she was still surprised w how i can sing 'Three little bears' or smth, the song in 'Full House')

HAHA.

Anyway we ate a sucky tiramisu.

Then we saw the dark brown parts of the cake,

so we started putting em on top of our front teeths, and doing all sorts of ugly faces w it.

Sigh i'm not sure if it's just me or has this course really influenced me.

All of us were commenting on how thick the cream was, how dry the sponge was, yadayada.

If it was a year back, i would have thought that the cake was SUPERB & NICE & YUMMY.

& even at home, if i see ready-to-eat food being on the table overnight,

i won't dare to eat it! CURSE YOU, FOOD SAFETY.

Great day w friends.

Goodbye school, Hello Holidays.

2011-06-15T09:01:00.005+08:00

Awesome waffle & an awful black sesame thingy for high tea. CHEH.

Talked for hours there, bout everythng. : )

Then we went on to buy Hokkaido Milk Tea :D

It was a little bit too sweet for me this time, no idea why :/

But that was my 2nd milk tea for the day.

Yes, VERY fattening. Kinda reminded me of my dec days when i spammed koi & gongcha.

KOI & GONGCHA FTW!

Went for a walk around Federation Square.

Then i brought her to Crown Casino.

Hahahhaha cheh not to gamble of course, even thou im like officially 18.

& can TOTALLY go into the casino.

Being myself, i brought her to the arcade in the Casino.

Wooo my favourite arcade - Galactic Circus!

Then we played arcade bball.

Felt so happy that my skills haven't quite deproved.

HEHEHE. Then i used our coupons & redeemed 2 bubble bottles.

& headed out to blow bubbles HAHAHA.

Like a cool only.

The bubbles smelled awful, and it probably has A LOT of glue inside it.

Cuz the bubbles didn't burst.. HAHA. until like 5 minutes after.

Took polariods & went home.

FUN DAY : )

2011-06-12T19:14:00.005+08:00

My week in snapshots.

Love practical lessons! :)

Cuz we always make tons of different things every lesson.

The bad point is that most of em are far TOO sweet.

SUGAR RUSH EVERY LESSSOOOONNNNNNNN.

& i swear sometimes all of us just laugh at the smallest matter, as if we are high/drunk.

Anyw me & loraine made the first photo for petit four class :)

Hehehehehe it's like marzipan inside & DAMN IT'S NOT NICE.

Too. much. marzipan.

I only like the one w the jam inside it. That's nice!

On thursday we had our coaching class, all of us have to coach another classmate something.

I coached Alicia on how to fold an origami butterfly (learnt it online wahaha)

3 of my friends coached on food related things.

& all of us were like hungry ghosts salivating at the sight of the food.

We were SUPER close to the food when they were teaching.

Haylie coached on 'how to ice a cake'

& i swear once she put the whipped cream on top of those naked sponges.

The whole class went 'WOAAAAAAA'

& our eyes never left the cake.

Then Sally did 'how to roll a sushi' & Astrid did 'how to make japanese rice balls'

DID YOU KNOW..

Luncheon meat is called spam here?

HAHA serious. like how when i say, i spam mayo on top of my Mcchicken burger.

THAT SPAM WORD. Cool eh? I didn't know that.

So after everyone finished their coaching, our hands just went crazy

& we grabbed whatever food we saw.

ALL OF EM TASTED HEAVENLY. >:D

one of my friend coached yoga, she is seriously pro at it.

Her stomach is hard one ley! not cuz of her bones, but it's seriously like muscles. (6 pacs)

Once she said 'doing this can help you slim down'

everyone went behind the 'student' she was supposed to coach, & started doing all kinds of position. IT WAS DAMN FUNNY.

We had to stretch & most of us were like 'waaa pain pain pain'.

But we still stayed in that position. HAHA

Had a buffet on present desserts class.

Me & loraine did the ones in the glass :D w the chocolate on top.

It's a white chocolate mousse with orange jelly & crushed caramelized pistachio.

& i liked it. :) We were still so scared that the jelly wouldn't set.

Both of us suck at plating up hahaha but thankfully everything turned out fine. :D

VERY PROUD OF OUR DESSERT.

The other groups did great as well hehehehe.

Friday was our last 'Monitor work operation' class.

& everyone is so happy that it has ended.

This class can not get any more boring than how it is now.

We have 3 hours listening to THEORY.

Kill me please! so happy that it's over :)

We played Snap, it was one of the class activity made up by one of the grp.

12 people playing snap can be crazy.

Everyone just leaped forward towards the card & our heads all banged each other.

But at that moment nobody seemed to care about hurting each other hahaha.

As for yesterday & today.

Yours truly went to do my diving practices.

Yesterday was the pool practice.

The wet suits were so damn hard to get on!!!!

The first thing we had to do was to swim 8 laps, i almost died..

HAHAHA it has been a gazillion years since i went swimming!!!

Then we started w the surface skills & the underwater skills.

I found it so hard to balance with that jacket and when we had to take them out & put them on again. I was struggling so hard cuz i couldn't find the 'hole' of the jacket.

Suddenly the coach said 'who dropped a fin'

& i was still struggling to put the jacket on so i was super sure that wasn't my fin.

I did check & my right leg's fin was there.

It was until i looked down again and realised that my left leg's fin was gone.

IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING CUZ I STILL FIRMLY SAID 'NO NOT MINE' LOUDLY BEFORE THAT :(

5 hours of diving is crazy, the tanks were so bloody heavy!

And so, today when we went to Rye beach.

We had to wear our jackets w tank on it up & walk for what seemed like forever, to the pier.

The water was freezing cold!!!!

& i couldn't seem to balance myself, i was floating ridiculously on the surface.

then we had to swim around & the water's cold & my mask's foggy~

Then i had to like put the weight belt on myself.

my fingers were already numb & i had zero strength to hold that idk how many kg of weights,

and desperately try to tie it around my hips.

Took forever to get it on me after i put ALL my 'strength' into trying to get it around me..

I don't know why but i started to breathe heavily.

& then my hood was like mad tight and it makes it even harder to breathe.

So in the end i stopped & went it for a rest.

Had lunch break & then back for a second dive.

I was already considering on stopping then, but i decided that it's not worth it.

Paid so much money & if i don't get the cert in the end i'll be letting myself down.

Once again.. THE JACKET AND TANK IS BLOODY HEAVY. AT LEAST 20KG I SWEAR.

Then this time, the water was EVEN COLDER.

We had to descent down & i couldn't keep my balance cuz of the stupid current.

Thankfully my buddy was good enough to help pull me down & unlucky enough to get me as a buddy. hahahahaha.

So ya, just wanna say..

I PASSED MY DIVING SHALALALALALALALA.

GNNA GET A CERT FOR IT SHALALALALALALA.

NEXT TIME CAN GO DIVING AGAIN SHALALALALA.

BUT NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. IN MY WHOLE LIFE EVER.

Gnna dive during WINTER again.

NEVER AGAIN.

2011-06-07T19:43:00.003+08:00

I enjoyed my weekend, all thanks to these 2 lovely girls.

Picnic @ Werribee beach, guarding our food from those fat birds,

taking tons of unglam photos that make me lmao.

Listening & singing along to Britney's oh so sexy songs.

Tricking Alicia by telling her that Loraine drooled hahahaha, scaring the shit outta her.

Gr8 stayover! :)

&&&&& took my dive check up tday hehehe.

2011-06-04T22:42:00.002+08:00

Thursday's work. : )

This week has been full of tests!

Tiring but it only means that in 2 weeks time, it'll be my holidays!

WOOOOOOOPWOOOOOP.

Friday's test was a crap load of shit but i'm happy that i remembered the answers.

HEEEEEEEEE fingers crossed.

Was almost late for work or training, whichever they treat it as.

Swear i hate being late cuz i'll be constantly be looking at the time and praying for the impossible.

HATE THAT FEELING.

Work was fun fun fun.

Did more work at the bar, learnt how to pour wine & pour beer from the tap.

IT'S SO FUN. (the pouring of beer)

Got a chance to make cocktail - Japanese Slippers.

LIKE COOL ONLY.

Did tons of polishing of wine glasses, boring but it helps train my speed!

Only did 2 room service that day but im enjoying every sec of it cuz i'm always learning new things!

Last minute decision to head to Alicia's crib for stayover. :>

Before that i met up w A & Loraine @ Chinatown for supper.

THAT RESTAURANT SUCKS.

It was like 18$ per head & once i went in, that stupid waitress came & forced us to order one mor e dish cuz it wasn't enough.

& she didn't care whether we could finish it or not.

She still said 'TAKE AWAY IF YOU CAN'T FINISH'.

SHE SUCKS.

Yeah so i went out of the restaurant & waited for em.

Never going there again (!)

Reached A's crib @ 2am.

If only she had tents, we would totally camp in her backyard & drink milo.

We were all too tired by the time we bathed & stuff,

fell aslp str8 away.

L cooked some weird ginger soup for us cuz she says it's good for girls.

ALICIA LOVED IT. Well, i thought it was okay.

But not exactly my cuppa tea cuz it's GINGER. ITS FREAKING GINGER.

And i had to bite those tiny strands of it and torture my throat by swallowing em.

But i still love her for always taking care of me <3

Had tangyuan after & was reminded of how i had tangyuan w awesome ppl clique.

(Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)

We then did a very loser thing by going to her bro's NEW car & just sit down there.

She played around w the buttons a bit & then we went back to the house.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Went home after that. :)

Gnna go slpover again either tmr night/mon HEHE.

Can't wait!

2011-06-01T18:50:00.002+08:00

Firstly. Have i ever told you that Viber is the second most awesome app ever?

Yes i doubt i've said that before cuz i've only first heard of it yesterday.

Okay then. Have i ever told you that yesterday was one of the best days ever?

CUZ WHATSAPP IS FREAKING FREE.

& being a human being, EVERYONE WHO HAVEN'T GOT IT, GOT IT.

Awesome much.

Had a gr8 long chat w bek weiting thru Viber ytd.

& this app works like magic, we were like chatting with each other on the phone.

Plus it's free! :D

we chatted for like nearly four hours! It's seriously crazy!

Enjoyed myself thou.

hehehe whatsapp & viber's the best thing ever.

Did macaroons today. My grp did Coconut flavour! :)

Unfortunately, the ovens weren't really fit for baking macaroons.

& there were something wrong w ours,

so a lot of them came out like a volcano. (Refer to pic 3)

SWEAR I WAS DAMN DISAPPOINTED.

Thankfully, there were of course, some macaroons that came out nicely.

Other group's macaroons' were like that too, but most of theirs turned out nicer!

Ours were like....bleah. Nothing wrong w the taste thou!

We did tons of flavour, so much that i didn't know which is which.

I know the green one is pistachio flavour (the filling sucked cuz it tasted like medicine)

One of it is vanilla flavour.

The pink one's raspberry flavour.

& thr's one that's sesame seed flavour.

All in all, they were all FAR TOO SWEET FOR ME.

Macaroons are always sweet, aren't they?

WILL ADD A 'BAKE MACAROONS' TO MY HOLIDAYS TO-DO LIST.

Can't believe that mine came out like volcanos...

DOUBLE SIGH.

K thats about it.

I'M FREEZING TO DEATH HERE.

& watching criminal minds on tv. YAY.

2011-05-28T18:19:00.002+08:00

This week's petit fours & present desserts class :)

Alicia erni & i did the pink cute one that looks like a snowman w his head separated.

It's mini choux with raspberry mousse.

Do you know how much work is put into this tiny dessert?!

Firstly, aurelie (my tcher) came 'no no no no no-ing' us when we piped it a bit too big.

& then we had to re-do the piping.

Thn try our utmost best to cut out the tiny short pastry that was soft like #@$#$@,

and place it on top of the pink pipings.

K i admit, erni & alicia did the piping.

Obviously cuz there were only 2 things that were needed to be piped.

I did the cutting of the short pastry & i did the mousse, which tasted awesome. ;)

Getting a sense of satisfactory when u see the tiny pipings puff up into a ball,

we then had to poke a hole into each of em.

& pipe cream into it. BOTH the tiny ones & the big ones.

Our grp was probably the last to finish!

Anyw it was so good, LOVE CHOUX PASTRIES. THEY ARE SO SO DELICIOUS.

Sigh i miss beard papa's cream puff in SG.

For present desserts, it doesn't have a name. (4th photo)

but THIS, THIS dessert was the best of the other desserts ive made so far.

For the base, it is a mascarpone & sour cream short pastry.

On top of it is a dark chocolate tart filling.

& then a layer of strawberries or whatever fruits u wnna put.

Then a cream tube made from boiled cream, sugar & white chocolate & whipped cream.

Then sugar work around the cream, made from isomalt & colouring.

THIS WAS THE BEST. :> :> :>

Tastes like heaven!

Went to brighton beach again tday.

& then back home.

Sis managed to cook pastamania's creamy chicken pasta a few days back.

After tons of failed tryouts.

FINALLY IT TASTES EXACTLY THE SAME.

HEHEHEHE.

Exams coming up.. again.

TRIPLE SIGH.

Birthdays

2011-05-23T20:54:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORAINE LEE KOCK TING. ♥

I've only known this girl for 3 months but i swear i feel as if i've known her for a year or so.

& she's sucha lovely person who never fails to do random stunts & lend a helping hand to others.

A great friend, a great practical class partner, a great girl.

She taught us how to cover ur front teeth w chocolate & look like a total idiot,

amazed me with how independent she is even thou she's only 2 yrs older than me,

showed me how strong she is, mentally, when she faced problems that she could no longer bear.

I will never forget those nights when me alicia and her stayed up till 6am, chatting & chatting.

Pouring out our woes , sharing our happiness, showing me their good friends' fb profiles.

Though she is a bit hamsap HAHAHAHA, but she's an awesome girl & i love her.

Happy 20th sweetie. :)

Ytd was her bday celebration, this girly girl paid $30 for temporary curls.

(am convinced that curls make one look more mature)

Had mexican food @ TACOBILL.

Since i've been here, i swear i've tried much more cuisines than just western & chinese.

I've tried indian mexican western japanese chinese italian korean cuisines~

& i bet there's more to come.

Anyw.. not a fan of mexican food.

It's not bad thou, just not to my likings.

This girl treated all of us. :( Feel so bad!

Went to a bar after, drank one drink & everyone started taking photos.

At first, normal,formal ones..

Then it turned to stupid ones..

(i'm the queen of doing ugly faces man, they all agreed! Not sure if that's a good or bad thing thou HAHA.)

Then it turned to photoshoots, sexy poses~ HAHAHAHA.

One word - HILARIOUS!

I swear we were laughing for the whole 20 mins non-stop.

I even cried.. cuz it was too.. TOO funny.

The poses, the expressions.

EPIC.

Anyw it was a gr8 day w em. :) As always.

Hope there will be more to come!

2011-05-19T20:32:00.003+08:00

Made dry petit fours yesterday. :)

Each group did a different type, mine's the one on the right!

Frosted Almond Biscuits. <:

Yes, it's actl just biscuits, dry petit fours juz sounds more classy HAHA.

Anyw today is....

'WEAR WHITE TO SUPPORT OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH' DAY.

http://www.cleo.com.au/wear-a-white-shirt-to-support-ovarian-cancer-research.htm

A few of my friends & i wore white hehehe.

Had breakfast @ 730 in the morning!

GODDDDD i could barely wake up..

plus it was freezing cold this morning. -_-

Had a nice omelette w fetta, spinach & mushrooms on toast.

& a cappucino. <:

Not bad, the prices were reasonable & cheap.

Best thing was, my tcher treated us to it!

Crazy or what, he treated the whole 20 of us!

I'm estimating that it costed him $160 minimum.

We were all so shocked when he told us he's treating us.

Present desserts prac after.

I refuse to show you a photo of my dessert today cuz i suck at plating up em.

It doesn't look nice at allllllllllllllllllllllll.

Felt a bit like in masterchef thou, had time limit & all~

Anyw we did chocolate spring rolls & chocolate pudding! Nomnomnom.

The chocolate spring rolls weren't as good as i've expected it to be,

but the chocolate pudding wasn't too bad! Hehe.

A tiny slice of it, accompanied w vanilla ice cream would suffice.

Determined to read more food magazines,

look at how they plate up their desserts.

& hopefully i will have more ideas next time :)

JIAYOU JIAYOU.

KBYE.

2011-05-17T23:02:00.003+08:00

Brighton beach yesterday.

Yes i know i was supposed to be mugging whole day..

but i did study till late for the past few days thou! :)

& this was only like a mini getaway from studying :P

First time going there & all the mini houses look so so nice & cute tgtr.

Unfortunately, the sand wasn't as soft as the ones in Mornington.

Saw a cute dog! Reminded me of lele & muffin.

Sigh i miss em both so muchhh, even thou muff's horny. HAHA.

I don't remember the dog's name, it was quite a difficult one.

She's so cuteeeeeeee!!!!

Damn, feel the urge to own a dog one day but i know it's so so much commitment. :(

Food Safety test sucked, there goes my A.

Damn, to think that i studied hard for it. Hopefully i won't do too badly :/

Got the shock of my life when some other qns came out rather than the ones tcher gave us.

Smoked my way through the questions~

Still managed to get some right thou. Hehehehe.

Glad that it's over :>

Today was a special day,

3 of my friends, mainly Yanling Yonglin & Weiting sent me a parcel tday.

So before i went to sch, i went to check my letterbox & saw like a huge envelope stuck to the 'hole' of the letterbox.

So i had to close my letterbox & desperately try to get that envelope out.

Eventually i did & i saw Yanling's handwriting.

Then i saw another card that requires collection @ th post office.

So i went there, took the other parcel & went to sch.

On my way to sch, i looked for my keys & only realised that it wasn't w me.

Panicked like @#$$(%^*#$$.

Then i realised that when i was taking the envelope out of the letterbox & i happily went to collect my other parcel.. i didn't take my keys out of the letterbox.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So it was actl stuck @ my apartment number's letterbox.

Damn suay, to think that that second when i first sat down and slowly opened those parcels,

the first thing that came t my mind was 'WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START MY DAY'

Thankfully my sister managed to find a way to get that key back.

So... i don't really know if i should say that i'm lucky or unlucky today.

Haha anyw ive never thought that i would be so so careless.

Guess this will be the first & the last.

Dinner @ Dontoo tday! I still give my vote to RamenYa.

Best ramen everrrrrrrrrrrrrr <3

Lastly, thank you Yiting Yonglin Yanling Weiting & Xuanyang for spending money on postage just to send me gifts. APPRECIATED IT LIKE A HAPPY LITTLE GIRL. :) :) :)

With my favourite people around, i know i'll never be alone.

Today

2011-05-16T01:20:00.003+08:00

Happygirl93 eating on 3 huge scoops of ice cream that cost me only 3 bux.

Accidentally swallowed a big scoop of ice cream, and that ice cream just melts in your throat,

leaving that cold cold feeling in ur throat lingering there.

& so i told my sis bout this cool new discovery..

She tried it...

her face went from normal to :| to *umchio face*

UMCHIO CUZ IT IS REALLY COOL BUT SHE DOESNT WNNA ADMIT IT.

: D

Tried a new store's chicken rice & i still don't get why it's so hard to find a nice chicken rice here.

In singapore, the worse tasting chicken rice still tastes more authentic than the ones here.

Old Town Kopitiam @ QV, Melbourne City...

You're still the best. I love you.

I will only trust and eat chicken rice from you from now onwards.

You're the only store that sells chicken rice worth the $10.

(which is very depressing cuz i can eat 4 chicken rice in sg w that amt of $$)

My first attempt to cook barley water today.

Sister said that i put far too much barley in it.

Then i kept watching the pot, waiting for it to boil.

Sister told me this phrase, 'A watched pot never boils' -_-

After 15 mins and i look at the barleys and they are still tiny,

i told my sis this..

"Do u know what song the barleys can sing to, to suit this situation nw?"

"我不想，我不想，不想长大~“

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't say its not funny okay, it is!

Thn i spent the next 10 secs absorbing my proud 'think of lame joke so quickly' moment.

K ive been studying for my food safety test.

Not a lot but still.. GOOD JOB HY. :)

2011-05-14T21:17:00.003+08:00

Photos from ytd & today :)

Went bowling w sis ytd night, hmm my 3rd time playing it.

You know what? SCORES DOESN'T MATTER hahahahaha.

The main purpose of that bowling photo is because...

See my score? See that X?!?! I GOT ONE STRIKE OKAY.

K that's that.

Caught 'Fast & Furious 5' after.
As much as i hate to say it,
(cuz my sis's is a fan of it & she has been on my ears all day long, wanting to watch this..)

FF5 WAS AWESOME :) :)

Breakfast tday w sis.

THIS IS THE LIFE. :)

I luv breakfasts in melbourne!

Of cuz kaya toast w soft boiled egg & mac's damn nice hot cakes are delicious in their own ways.

For eg thr's this cafe behind my sch that sells cheap breakfast.

It's 10 bux for poached eggs, tomato, hashbrown, bacon on toasts, accompanied w a coffee of your choice.
It's damn worth it! :D

I'll always go have breakfast w my friends there before an afternoon lesson.

SHIOK AH.

Sis & i went to buy crab after that.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE.

BUTTER CRAB, HEN HAO CHIIIIIII :D :D

& then facetime my parents & haolian to em. HAHA.

On a side note, i've got tons of assignments & tests coming up. :(

NEED TO STUDY TMR. WILL STUDY TMR. MUST STUDY TMR.

Good thing is, this means that holidays are cominngggggg :>

Can't wait can't wait!

& & & & & A few days back, i received a parcel from ONG YI TING <3

Hehehehehe thank you dear angel :)

: D

2011-05-10T19:52:00.003+08:00

Aquarium w parents & sister :>

My first time there hehehehehe.

Felt so dumb trying to snap a photo of the stingray when it was swimming ard in the tank.

I was running around the tank trying to be faster than it, and gettin' ready to snap it.

This aquarium was fairly small, but then again, SG's one is even smaller.

Dinner @ an italian restaurant, had my fav risotto again. :D

As always, i can never finish eating it :/

Churros after, it is SOOOO overrated. Don't find it THAT nice.

Don't think i'll spend $$ on it again.

Parents went back to SG.

Feel that this time, the time spent w them was a lil too short.

We were always rushing to do more things, wanting to do more things but never really did.

& it has been a long time since i've laughed so so hard @ dad's lamest jokes.

Glad that they did come & i wished they could have stayed longer.

Nonetheless, I HAD THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER.

Last weekend felt like holidays, a shiok one.

Back to reality now!

STUDY HARD KHY!

Love

2011-05-08T19:57:00.006+08:00

Lovely 18th spent @ Mornington.

2011-05-07T01:18:00.000+08:00

18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need i say more?

Well i shld probably be jumping around when the clock stuck 12 just now,

screaming

'HAHA SCREW YOU PEOPLE WHO LAUGHED AT ME BEING UNDERAGED'

'HAHA SCREW YOU GUARDS WHO DIDNT LET ME IN THE CASINO'

Kidding.

It just means that I'M YOUNG.

Anyway i'm thankful that this year has been going smoothly for me,

i've made new good friends, friends whom i click well w and care for me vice versa.

It was fun going out w them, and we never fail to talk bout anything & everything.

Knowing that they'll be there if you've problems, knowing that they'll always lend a hand.

It's nice <:

Thankful for having a gr8 family,

parents came all the way here to celebrate this bday for me.

(with an addition of an emerald necklace HEHEHE)

Sisters buying me presents, like my phone & my hidden owl cup.

To GXY who is _____(shall not say people stupid on this special day) enough to spend $38 on postage just to send a gift to me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

& of course, friends in singapore! :)

Friends who stood by my side all these years, friends who still fills me up w whats happening in their lifes every now & then, friends who cares, friends who are and will always be close to my heart.

I don't know what the future holds, don't care what the future holds,

but i'm happy now & that's all that matters.

LIVE YOUR LIFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

With a heart full of love

Morning lessons were boring as usual, but my prac lesson was a helluva fun tday :D

All becuz we made......

Something sweet..

Something cold...

Something you'll dig in when you're down..

HEHEHEHEHE.

ICE CREAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM :)

Althou this is my second time making em in class, but we get to choose our own flavours.

& guess what yours truly made..

Before..

After...

Green tea ice cream :) :) :)

Well other than lovin' the pokka green tea, i'm not much of a 'matcha' fan.

But this was NICE <:

We did all kinds of flavours, my grp did mango, pandan, salted caramel, chocolate banana & melon sorbet(which absolutely MELTS in your mouth, no kidding) as well.

Raspberry yogurt was nice, one of my favourite.

Apple cider icecream & passionfruit icecream was so so so refreshing.

Then there were weird ones too, Ginger & chilli icecream.

Surprisingly, i couldnt really taste the hotness of the chilli. (Thank god.)

& then i was introduced to this new fruit called 'Prickly Pear Cactus'

THIS, THIS FRUIT IS SO SO SO DAMN DANGEROUS.

It has tiny prickles on it that looks almost transparent.

If not for the 'Do not touch' sign, i would totally have poked my hands onto it at the start of th class.

Then if you accidentally brush something against it, the 'spikes' get attached.

& the next person who touches that particular something will be pricked by it.

It's so tiny but so painful at the same time.

I got pricked once, and i never dared to go near that area again.

I didn't even try that ice cream flavour cuz i was scared the pricks accidentally went in,

and it'll kill my throat BWAAHAHHAHAHAHAH.

Oh oh, and there was this soy milk icecream w curry powder.

WOA WOA WOA, totally regretted trying.

I had a tiiiiiinnnnnyyyy bite of th icecream

& the spiciness of the curry powder immediately took its toll on me.

DAAAAMMMMNNNN HOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT.

All of us had a spoon always on our hands, and we'll go around the classroom tasting ALL of em.

^0^

So very nice :D

So yeah, enjoyed myself 100% today!

On a side note, PARENTS ARE HERRREEEEEEE.

& they brought me a tiny pack of 'seaweed seasoning'.

So i can just grab mac fries, put it in a paper bag, spam the seasoning,

& SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE, SHAKE IT~

:D My very own shaker fries, in melbourne australia.

I was sucha hardworking girl ytd.

I finished all my hmwk that are due next week,

cuz it only means that i can play like mad this weekend.

& choke on all the good food i'll be eating HEHEHEHEHEHE.

If only they are here longer, there seems to be very little time to do all th things that i wnna do!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Here are my presents,

from my parents.

emerald (may's birthstone) necklace, just a tiny one. Simple & nice, LOVE IT :)

& from my 2nd sis,

A cup w hidden owl in it. DAAAMN COOL i know.

I'm gnna cook maggie mee in it & amazed myself when the owl's head pops out HAHA.

My bday is not even here yet but i'm already gettin' my presents.

& they are all so great.

this. shall. be.

My best bday ever. :) :)

GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING.

On the 2nd May, 5 freaking days before my birthday.

My friends surprised me @ my place :) :) :)

Haha funny story, i was actually tricked by Alicia to meet her for dinner.

becuz she has 'something to say to me'.

So she messaged me, saying that she'll reach in 20 mins. Which was 6:20pm.

I waited, and waited, and waited.

At 7pm, she still hasn't called me or whatsoever.

So i got worried, worried that something has happened to her.

Plus she wasn't answering my calls.

Decided to go downstairs to see if she's there cuz thr may be a chance that her phone's batt went flat.

I popped my head out of the building and then i saw this bunch of people beside the building.

Saw familiar faces.. saw balloons..

Hahaha then i realised they were giving me a surprise!!!

They didn't see me thou.

& i swear i feel damn bad that i spoiled the surprise.

So i ran back to my apartment immediately & called up my sis & even yiting!!!

I didn't know what i should do, like how i should react manz. Felt real bad!

So when Alicia called & asked me to go down,

when i saw them i screamed, in a surprised way HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Felt bad for hiding the truth from them so i told them right after i blew the candles.

I was so so happy at that time haha.

They made this 'totoro' cake which looked half pikachu, half owl.

HAHAHAHA but it's cute. Plus it has like 3 layers inside.

They took the whole afternoon just to make this cake! Awwww right?

In the 2nd photo, that was only HALF the cake.

We ate totoro's stomach >:D

Anyw i don't have much photos here cuz it's all in my friend's camera.

Will upload them once he uploads them :)

I very proudly showed them my room & on my 'tumblr lights' lights.

Once i did that, THEY LAUGHED OMG.

They laughed @ my eeyores and the light & a bear whose stomach lights up.

They commented that it looked like a kids room & asked me if i really am 18.

T-T T-T T-T T-T T-T

We then had the cake, took polariods, & went to the city to have dinner.

Had chinese fooooddd, as usual.

All in all, tonight was a great night spent w them. :)

They knew that my parents were coming so they planned this surprise 5 days earlier.

So sweet :)

So so so so glad to have them as my friends. <:

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE EM! <3 <3

truth

2011-04-29T23:35:00.003+08:00

Frankly, in this 17 years of my life,

i've had regrets, i've made mistakes, i've lived, i've loved, i've cried.

I have my clique, the 'ING' clique.

Throughout those 4 years of school life, we've gone thru shit.

& yes i admit, there were days i feel so so so doubtful bout this friendship.

I may look like i'm a happy-go-lucky person,

or look like problems are a piece of cake to me.

But friendships. Friendships are my weakest point.

I've been in conflicts, cried litres of tears cuz of it.

I'm far too sensitive towards this friendship,

i notice the littlest things & get disappointed by the slightest action made.

Then i thought i wasn't good enough a friend.

Sometimes i'm too selfish, too demanding, not caring enough, not thoughtful enough.

I constantly remind myself to be selfless,

to be good enough a friend for them.

To make myself someone whom they will remember & love.

But as we all know, we're getting into a new phase of our life now.

Everyone's getting busier, everyone's living their own lives.

Still, i miss us telling each other bout our special happenings, confiding in each other.

When one's sad, the message is spread & soon you'll receive calls or messages of comfort,

those messages which simply lifts your spirits up.

Just.like.that.

Just a few minutes ago, i saw our videos for yanling. (who is probably @ WT's hse now)

And i laughed, not at all our awkwardness, but how much we remember bout each other.

How much we remember bout the past, our happy memories.

& i hate myself for not being able to celebrate YL's special day,

only able to anxiously wait for yiting's whatsapp on what's happening down there.

Truth is, no matter how scarred our friendship may be,

no matter how long we didn't talk to each other cuz we're all so darn busy,

i know that this friendship will not end.

Cuz no matter how disappointed i get, or how many conflicts i've had with them,

they are the ones closest to my heart.

They are the ones who i still want to talk to when i'm down,

even if i don't get to tell them in the shortest possible time,

i still want them to know bout my life.

I still want them to tell me bout their lives, every single detail of every single thing.

I love them for being who they are.

& i'm so so thankful to have them as my closest friends.

Thank you the 3 ings, Yanling Weiting & Yiting for being in my life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEN YAN LING! :)

Hope you're enjoying yourself naaaoooooooooo.

我们永远都会是最最最最最要好的朋友。

Photo from fri's weird but surprisingly fun outing w parents' friends + children.

School was fun today,
nothing special happened but i'm just happy to have my friends around me.
& knowing them in this sch is one of the best things in life.

& a miracle happened.

My 3 friends are online!!!!

Ive not seen these names together & online since years ago.

Sadly, yes. It was that long.

& thou we didn't chat that much,

it kinda still brought me back to the past.

:')

2011-04-26T20:49:00.001+08:00

Photos from YarraValley : )

Roadtrips FTW!

Fun days

2011-04-22T23:10:00.002+08:00

The 12 of us went to Yarra Valley on the 18th :>

Gr8 weather, gr8 company, gr8 day spent!

First stop was a cheese cottage or whatever that's called.

We tried out 8 kinds of cheese, some of em tasted so weird & not nice,

but we couldn't show it to the staffs there so we looked nonchalant but once we turned our backs,

our faces were >.<.

Had our lunch @ a park after that.

Bread & sausages w BBQ sauceeee. :)

Wineries after that & i tried some wine.

Everyone was saying bout how i'm underaged & i shouldn't be coming to wineries~

and then i'll be constantly repeating '2 more weeks 2 more weeks!!!'

They're even planning make our next grp outing a trip to the clubbbbbb.

Haha we played 'Guess the song' game on our way there & everyone was singing and moving in the car when they played like clubbing songs. Damn funny!

Learnt a fair bit of japanese from Anthony, i've got 2 friends who are currently learning jap!

<: yayyyyy. Free lessons! Haha.

After that we went for dinner & there were some annoying problems but it's over so nvm.

Ran for my life with my friend chasing me.

End of the day!

Met up w the same gang of friends & went to Alicia's crib for a BBQ yesterday.

As expected, it was a helluva fun. ;)

We had all kinds of meat except for pork - Chicken, fish, lamb, beef.

& all kinds of veggies. - Onions, corns, sweet potato, pumpkin.

& 4 diff kinds of bread all sponsored by our professional baker, Anthony-san.

I had at least 8 chicken wings that day muhahahahhahaha

so nice when it's glazed w hoonnneeeeeyyyy <3

Once again, my friends was stunned at how well i play bball.

That kind whereby u stand at a spot & aim into the hoop, not the real bball.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH *shy*

I think my badminton wasn't too bad too :/

After that we played captains ball & damn i suck at it, i suck at all sports.

I couldn't recognise my team members, i threw the ball to the opponent's goal,

i tried snatching the ball from my own team mate,

and we all fell down a lot in the game, it's almost like rugby haha.

I've got bruises on my legs! Looked as if i contributed a lot but actl i didn't.

Sigh i hate sports..

BUT IT WAS STILL A GOOD PLAY <:

Ive got cool friends haha.

Home after that.

Had dinner w my parents' friends' children, along w their friends just now.

Surprisingly, it wasn't too boring & we talked quite a bit & exchanged numbers.

NEW FRIENDS :)

So yeah, that's about it.

FUN DAYS!

2011-04-16T19:35:00.002+08:00

Yesterday's dinner!

I love risottos. : D

But this wasn't as good as what i've expected it to be :l

HOLIDAY HAS STARTED :>

Even thou it's a shit 10 days only! (stupid sch).

I'm still happy that it's the holidays naooooo.

& ive got outings w friends coming up, so so excited! :)

Pretty sure it'll be a blast.

Mum has downloaded 3 HongKong Drama series for us to watch.

I've been spending the past few days lying on the sofa,

watching the day away hahaha. Very much like a cochon(pig in french) but i'm enjoyin' it.

I know how to say 1 to 10 in french!!! :)

It's nice having friends from around the world.

We get to know how to say things in different languages hehehe.

Ohyes, i tempered my first chocolate on thurs class.

& it's so so fun! When my teacher introduced us bout ingredients & stuff.

There was this popping candy. you know? the ones that pops in ur mouth when u eat em.

It was more of a childhood candy, when u usually dip a lollipop in it.

& my eyes literally lighted up when i saw it.

Hehehehe it totally took me back to my pri sch days when i would buy it from vending machines.

I spammed it on top of my chocolate, thinking that it would taste great.

But when i just swallowed the chocolate when i ate it, the candies starting popping in my throat!

Yes, it was slightly painful having things popping in your throat.

My sister's tyre went flat ytd night. (one of it)

Well, we only realised that yesterday so ive got no idea how long it has been flat.

& i'm proud to say that 'Watashi-wa + my onee-chan' successfully changed a flat tyre.

: D

K till the next time ive got something to talk bout my life.

Coming Home

2011-04-13T20:28:00.004+08:00

Say hi to Show luo's new album!!! :>

I know i know, for the past few posts i've already been talking on & on bout him.

BUT ISN'T HE HANDSOMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

Plus he has got a gr8 personality! : D

Showed it to my friends & none of em likes him :(

I've been listening to his new songs for days now, still not gettin' sick of it.. yet.

HAHA. & i've been tryin to get a new high score for veggie samurai.

Can't seem to pass 3k T-T

School has been great, especially when holidays are next week!

Did carrot cake today, one of the nicest recipes in William Angliss. (that's what my tcher said)

Nup, i'm not a fan of carrots and sultanas and apricots.

The cream cheese frosting was nice thou. :)

Regretted not having take photos of everything i did in school.

I should totally take photos of em & then make them into an album.

For myself to see in the future if i ever forget hahaha.

Too late now.

Bye! I have nothing else to say.

罗志祥

2011-04-09T11:38:00.002+08:00

罗志祥一萬零一夜世界巡回演唱会,墨尔本站, 好看惨了！：）

Yesterday was an awesome day!

Got a B for bakery but that's becuz i missed a class but i'm happy with that marks. <:

K main point was,

THE AWESOME CONCEERRRTTTTT.

& going alone was nothing as compared to how his songs makes my heart melt.

Happy that the person sitting beside me was another crazy fan,

so both of us were screaming like craaaaaaaaaaazy.

Bad thing was that the stage was just a stage,

unlike the stage in singapore indoor stadium whereby he can pop out at weird times,
and have more props to work with.

Despite that, everything was still going smoothly & well.

There was a point in time when people from the back row RAAAN to infront of the stage,

and the security guards were at a loss cuz they couldn't stop em so they gave up.

And no, i wasn't that crazy to run down and squeeze with the others,

and try that 1% of chance that show will see me. -_-

I still sang along, screamed YESSS when he asked us questions, laughed at his jokes,

enjoyed every single moment of it! It was a $169 worthy concert.

Feel so happy to have seen him grown from someone who was nothing, to such a star.

: D WILL CONTINUE SUPPORTING YOU SHOW LUOOOOOOO!!! <3

Lookin' forward to his next concert! In sg/ in melbourne :) :)

Lastly, i bought this huge poster of him.

& stuck it behind my door.

NOW I CAN SEE HIM EVERY TIME I WAKE UP MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

Keep calm

2011-04-07T15:23:00.002+08:00

A few days back, a friend of mine asked if he could borrow my show luo tix.

I couldn't say no cuz i wasn't going to that pre-concert party, which happened yesterday night.

(Meaning... SHOW LUO ZHI XIANG IS OFFICIALLY IN MELBOURNE NOOOOWWW)

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

K i digressed.

Right after i said okay, a million thoughts came into my mind.

The 'what ifs' and the uneasiness of not knowing what can happen to my dear tickets.

But then again, i can't go back on my words. So ya, i passed it to him the next day.

(With a pinch of typical singaporean kiasu-ness, cuz i wrote down 'rules' beside the ticket.)

LOL my friends laughed when they saw the rules. They were rules like ;

' Please do not fold the ticket. Please keep the ticket by your side at all times. yadayada'

Okay what i was really trying to say in this post is...

My ticket has returned to me safety today, but it looks a bit different..

Don't know what i'm talking about?

See it for yourself then..

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Look at show's signature!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

They used the ticket to get into the party, but show can only sign tickets and nothing else.

As happy as i am, i feel for my friend too. :/

Cuz they brought along papers for him to sign, but the guards stopped them.

They only allowed people with tickets to go in, and show didn't sign anything else.

So in a way, i got a 'reward' but they went home empty-handed.

K this is all i have to share today, plus one more thing

GUESS WHO SCORED 100% FOR STOCK CONTROL TEST TODAAAAYYYYYY.

Yes, the cute, smart, awesome yours truly!

Hehehehehehehe so happy :D :D

Felt like a pri 1 kid in class when the tcher praised me :P

Today's a good day.

prolly cuz tmr's an ever better day!

Pre-show concert's luck maybe?

HEHE.
