Back in Melbourne...

Phew....finally after a week
I manage to post my first post after I am back
You all would have thought that I have forget about the people back in Malaysia...
since I am not blogging..well last week went by pretty fast
everyday is fill with 5 hours lectures and 2 hour tutorial everyday.....
and with the same speed as well I have got 2 assignment up my sleeves when my sis hasn't even started uni yet!!!

Life in Melbourne is still full of things to do...
like the never ending pile of bills that I need to pay, the ever dirty floor that needs to be clean at least twice a week(which all of us never do until we can't stand it no longer..hehe..)
and of course to catch up with those that has already came back from overseas....
plus the very very original weather of Melbourne....

Been raining the whole week last week....and it has been recorded the coldest ever compared to the temperature recorded same time last year....
I can predict it is gonna be a really cold winter...*brrrrr*

But luckily the weather on the weekend after the day i am back was beautiful....
the day is fill with light brezze and warm sun.....a perfect picnic weather!

ok that is all for now....
goin to make my first tiramisu...
fingers cross that nothing will go wrong.
will post the photos that i caught on the Chinese new year gathering....

take care everyone.

Emo in the making....

*warning: If you don't like complaints....skip this post and come back for a happier one next time.*

Is there any device that can make the time pass faster?
I want to go back to Melbourne...yet I want to spend time here in Malaysia with my friends and family...
this time around, the effect of leaving Malaysia for such a long time is obvious....too obvious.

Everybody has their own things to do, new friends to hang out with, countless uni activities to attend to, work to get extra money,spend time with their other half....etc

I am frustrated!!!!
Frustrated that I can't go anywhere on myself...
Frustrated that I can't work.
Frustrated that I am wasting time here doing nothing.....
Frustrated that I can only message him and not talk to him about things that happen here....
Frustrated that there is such ridiculous high cost in calling international calls.
Frustrated that I can't arrange anything for the months ahead because the timetable is not out yet.
Frustrated that somebody thinks that I am a traitor to my own country just by stating some very truthful fact.....wake up BOLLOCKS!!!!

SO SO Frustrated that I feel like I am becoming a alligator snapping at everyone at any given moment...... Feel like crying

If only there is some special way that can let me travel between here and Melbourne in seconds.
If only things would be as simple as it appear to be...
then it wouldn't be so hard now.
If only I can hug him now.
If only...

New look....

A new year...A new look.
A bit late but...it's still the start of year 2008....hehe
Chinese New Year is around the corner with the shopping centre playing the festive songs....
Red packet wait for me...I am collecting u soon...haha

New year trip to Chiang Mai

After 7 years from my last visit to Chiang Mai, my whole family went back n revisit the city.
Things changed alot, roads are wider n there are alot more houses and shops around
This time spent around 6 days in Chiang Mai...
summary of this trip was...

Thailand is really a heaven for food and shopping.Plus Chiang Mai has like 300 temples, we visited around a dozen of them...because according to the locals it is believed that if u visited 9 temples during the new year period u will have good luck throughout the year.

the trip started off with pictures...again...lol

with my sis on the plane

my bro...

First stop is a temple, to pray for blessing for this trip
the temple was impressive...really old the Buddha statue was heaved up into one of the pagodas



then it was shopping in the city of Chiang Mai...
Chiang Mai is famous for it's night market..
everynight the cty will come to life with ppl selling their wares along the street
Cheap t shirts....fake gucci bags...hill tribe jewellery
u name it...i think they got it....
Busy streets...


Part of the old 700 year old temple....

Barely awake....



Doi Ithanon..King's pagoda

Hill tribes village....
what a pity I didn't have any pictures to show you all about the food that we had on this trip....
so much nice food to taste, which rekindles my passion for spicy food haha...
but what is it to be surprised about after all I am a Malaysian.

Official announcement: Summer is here!!!!

Summer has officially started yesterday and as usual the weather in Melbourne is ever so unpredictable. The weather station has been announcing thunderstorm the whole week and it still hasn't come yet...

well seems like I can't complain that much.
Time flies this week...pretty soon I will be back in Malaysia.

Busy is the word. Doing what?

Working, playing, seeing George as much as I can before I go back....
Planning his birthday dinner
Buying stuff for my mom,saying farewell to some of my uni friends...
Looking for high school that has a place for my brother next year.

My sis has been busy running around the high school here as well...
but luckily we managed to find a place in a school for him.
and as usual after all this activity I am left broke...
but no complains here...it's all worth it.

George's Birthday.

his tiny cake...

it's gonna be his 23rd birthday soon, but unfortunately I would not be able to celebrate with him so I plan a birthday dinner for him yesterday.

the knife was meant for the cake.

I would say all came out well...just as I expected it would be
