Weekend photos...

i've been missing in action.. well before that i had visitor staying at my place. was doing bit of this and that. busy at work. all tired by the time i reached home. still doing my food blog. anyway i'm happy to have some time to chill out from all. the other day i was just sitting in my bed, with three layers of quilts and reading magazine, relaxing indeed. oh yea the weather is getting cold here. always so hard to wake up in the morning.

anyway i've told you that i'm enjoying taking photos. so here's some random photos that i took yesterday. i had an outing with my sis to the city and we were just exploring around the city and just kept on taking photos of each other. training before our trip i suppose. haha! there's just alot to explore in the city. we took more than 100 shots.. these are some of them that i like.

inside crown. i love the ceiling design. just a shot of its reflection. love it!

outside crown. nice greeny trees

just a random one inside myer.

you can find funky shops here and small cosy cafes.

we took a long time here and kept on posing.. this is the best one i took. :)

Camberwell Sunday Market..

the other day i went to camberwell sunday market with a few girlfriends. early in the morning, there were alot of people there, looking through all the stalls, with second hand books, magazines, furnitures, clothes, accessories, bags and much more. you'll never know what you can bump into during the day cause there are different stalls all the time. sounds cool yea? well i went there without expecting to find anything. i just wanted to have a breathe of fresh air, away from all the stress. it's great having some time to relax yourself and enjoy every tiny bits that is around you. it's a pet friendly market too, you'll get to see different cute dogs around. and there were also people dancing, it was so fun looking at them. i also enjoy taking some photos here and there.

look at the crowd. more bargain please!

do you wanna have a go too? fun!

lots of clothes...

this very lovely clock that i saw.. adorable!

super delicious strawberry jam donuts that you can find there. it was really yummy with the jam oozing out! *slurps*

this is the bargain that i found. $3 for a stylish looking cap.

and check this out. mooks jacket for only $10. how awesome is that!

another weekend!

i've fully recovered from my cough and flu. but unfortunately a few of my collegues caught my virus. feel bad.. :P anyway hope they get well soon. the weather has been really unstable for the past week. take care ppl! i've been trying hard to study my cpa course. exam is next month but it feels so close. maybe cause i can't really study much during the weekdays and by counting only weekends, i don't have much time left. have to catch up more. thanks dear for helping me with that. good luck with yours as well. and get well soon! love ur company today..

today i went to jells park for picnic bbq. a simple one with some sausages and corns. tasted good! spring time would be great for bbqs.. but with good weather though. haha! there was strong winds and drizzles when we arrived there. and we had to run away early before the thunderstorms came. anyway a simple day, with great companions.

exhausting days..

well i've been a bit inactive here for sometime.. the main reason is that i'm always so tired after work and by the time i have time to relax and chill in front of the comp, i'm already feeling too sleepy to write a blog. so sad.. working life is so not fun at all.. haha! i was talking with a friend last night and i was telling how i feel everyday after work, and all i can say is that there is always better things to look forward to.. maybe feeling excited of what's new to learn at work? haha.. oh yea.. i've started my cpa course but with my condition like this, do you really think i'm studying? to be frank, not yet! but i shall do it as soon as possible..i hope. *wink*

i want to share about my experience selling clothes at the camberwell market last sunday. i had to wake up before 6am to get prepared and arrive there before 7am and also to set up our stal.. i went with a few friends and believe it or not we had a car full of clothes and other stuff.. anyway we arrived there a bit later than others and already there were ppl walking around and started to shop! we had our stuff on the tables to set up and they are still in boxes. there was a guy just pick up the box and look around.. gosh! that was quite shocking. haha! it took us a while to set up the stall and the crowd started to come in before we even had time to have some breakfast. people was bargaining on everything, even with clothes that we wanna sell at only 5 dollars. awww.. it felt quite painful when i saw some of my brand new stuff and rather expensive ones selling at a low price of 2 dollars? that is what we called a second hand market. something like what we have in pasar malam in malaysia. it was great fun learning to sell stuff. it was quite windy that morning and we had sales until the very last moment. the market closes at 12.30pm. by the time we packed up and left, it was already almost 2pm. and we had a nice lunch at nyonya hut at syndal. we were really starving by that time. haha! and the food was pretty good there.. should go try it out. i had a great day but seriously it was so tiring.. it was even tiring than having badminton. i was zombie-ing the whole day at work on monday. time for me to head to bed. miss lots!

bits and pieces..

it's saturday morning and i'm chilling out at my bed and surfing the net and having random thoughts. i saw the news and roger federer and mirka have baby twins! that's such a great news and let's see if they are also the future top tennis players like their dad.. talking about that, adrian is also going to be dad the second time. i wonder is it a gal or boy this time..

well it has been almost a week since i bought this new macbook. for the time being i'm still doing fine and starting to love the macbook. except for the msn part though. it's a bit different from the microsoft version. shall need more time to explore other features and this and that. surfing the net and writing my blog with itunes using the laptop has been great! of course some people might think it's a bit waste of money to spend so much on a macbook with the same functions that you can find on a normal laptop. but who cares. i'm loving it! haha.. i can do video call with dear as well. planning to get an ipod for the next. one step at a time.

winter is still in the air for melbourne. heard dear saying that brisbane is not that cold already. it's still freezing cold here. this morning i purposely made myself to sleep back after waking up before 8am. gosh.. i'm so used to waking up early. but i'm not going to complain about the cold cause i appreciate this more than the hotness during summer. haha!

masterchef the reality tv show had finished and it felt so different without chasing over the series every night after work. and i can see that it really made some significant changes on the ppl around me, i would say including me. we are more observant and creative with the plating up of the food that we cook. and i see some really interesting dishes posted up on facebook or blogs or parties. nice! i'm going to make chocolate fondant this weekend. fingers cross that it works. haha! shall show the end results if it is successful. food can always make me happy. same goes to you? have a great weekend.

cold saturday..

i woke up this morning without an alarm and fortunately enough i slept till a bit later than usual. after getting out of bed, i went straight to the kitchen to do some baking. haha! my second attempt of making scones and lucky me that it worked out really well this time. great achievement and it tastes really yummy with the strawberry jam that i bought from miss marple and also i made some cream to go with it. awesome feeling when i had the first bite.. but there's one little thing, i actually forgot to put sugar in it. haha! but it was all good.. ^_^

i didn't stop there though. i continued on to make some pies cause i bought the pastry before and didn't have time to make them during weekdays. and it went out pretty good as well. with the cold and wet weather outside, i ended up cancelling my plans to go to the city, and instead i made myself some nice lunch with dessert. haha! and also to mention that last week my dad and i made some satay chicken for dinner and it turned out to be super yummy! i think i'm a little inspired by masterchef lately. i'm enjoying cooking and learning making new yummy food. nice training huh?

barbie exhibition..

well last saturday i went to a barbie exhibition at federation square. can't believe that they already have 50 years of history. i was not a huge fan of barbie doll when i was young. i was more into masak masak. haha! anyway i thought the exhibition is quite interesting so i asked a few friends to go along to the exhibition. it was not a huge exhibition but they have all of the collection from the very first one in 1959 to the latest one in 2009. well there are some huge changes with the dolls. and do you know that a barbie doll actually needed more than 100 ppl to design and build one barbie. that's a massive project to design one! we were not allowed to take photos in the exhibition. sobz... i was so tempted to buy something at the merchandise store but they were all really pricey. anyway i had a nice time chilling out with barbie and all the children there.. haha! here's some photos..the t shirt below that my sis wanted to buy costs 70 dollars! luckily she didn't buy it. haha! i love the design with black elegant dress.

mt dandenong

i've been a bit laid back this week. so didn't really write much here and in fact i didn't go online after coming back from work. cause my eyes tends to get really tired after a whole day of work in front of the computer. anyway i still insisted to write about my short visit to my dandenong last saturday. haha! a couple of my friends headed to mt dandenong cause one of our friends is going back to malaysia soon and she hadn't been there before. we arrived there during noon time so we went to miss marple to have lunch. but as usual, we had to wait for a table there. so we went over to the tea house next door. they have so many varities of teas. from fruit teas, classic teas, chinese tea to japanese tea. i bought some jasmine chrysantemun tea to try out. it's like a flower bud and putting in the hot water, it would blossom into a nice flower. haha! interesting one. hope it tastes good too!back to the restaurant, i had their lunch special, fish and chips. for dessert, we shared a belgium waffle and their well known scones. the scones are just soft and tastes awesome with their strawberry jam and cream. hmmmm... even just thinking about it, it makes me crave of it. haha! anyway it's a must try in mt dandenong. after a long lunch there, we went to skyhigh mt dandenong. it's a place where you can see the whole melbourne view. they have a very nice restaurant there too. we headed there to have a look at the view. but it was freezing cold up there. haha! so i didn't enjoy much of the scenery.. i was shivering... ><

i love going to mt dandenong once in a while. it's a quiet small town there and with the lovely scenery, fresh air and mouth watering food, it just feels good to be there. can go for hiking there too. only tried once before tho.

echuca..

last sunday i went to echuca with a group of friends, it's up north of victoria and at the border of victoria and new south wales. so i practically went to nsw as well. it was a small quiet town. when we arrived there early in the morning, we went to visit the old fashioned style of steam ship and took a ride for an hour along the murray river. not sure if i got the name of the river right. after that we went to visit around the small village, with shops like wine tasting, wood making, lollies shop. after that we went off and searched for lunch. and unfortunately there wasn't many restaurants opened and we ended up having charcoal chicken. haha!

in the afternoon, we had plans to go canoeing but sadly the person in charge told us that there was going to have a storm coming, so we had to cancel the plan for the day. so we ended up getting our maps and pulled over beside the road to look for alternatives. haha! and the view there was really nice. the wind was really cold tho. then we decided to go the scenic drive at the national park along the murray river. the funniest part was there was nothing there as well! gosh! so we had to look for another place to visit, decided to go to the cape horn vineyard. okay we were all set and went there according to the google map description that they had researched before. and guess what?! we went to the opposite direction of the vineyard and wasted half an hour drive there. we then called in to the vineyard to get the right direction. it was actually in the forest and it took us almost an hour to reach there. what a day! it was raining heavily as well.

when we finally arrived there, we had some wine tasting and finally got to chill a bit. it is a very nice cosy vineyard. and the wine was pretty good as well. the next day had a morning walk with wenji as we woke up really early. it was freezing cold outside too. there were ppl preparing for a market nearby but too bad we didn't have time to join in the fun. later, we eventually went for canoeing in the cold weather. it was a really tiring activity and i was a bit scared of falling off into the water. haha! we had to canoe for 10km and it took us 2 hours to arrive at the destination. anyway it was an unforgettable experience for me! =D

winter..

winter is in the air! well we've stepped into the month of june! OMG! time flies.. and we're getting into winter season now. need to wrap up ourselves with thick coats and jackets, waking up early in the morning with fog everywhere to go to work.. not fun at all! anyway we had quite a few foggy days last week.i'm having long weekend this week cause of queen's birthday. ohh.. i wish we have a few more days like this. haha! well the swine flu in victoria is getting really severe, with more than 200 ppl got infected. hopefully the winter season won't make it even worse. in fact probably i should get the flu vaccination.

one more good news is that roger federer is going into final in the french open. fingers cross that he'll win! hahaha! i shall enjoy my long weekend.

market..

last saturday, i went to a boutique market and had booked a stall to sell clothes. it's called the taketwo market, there was ppl from the current affair went over to make a cover story about the market as well! my sister and i had so many stuff to sell off and also had a few friends that joined us as well. we made heaps of effort and time to prepare the selling like pricing and sorting etc. but we only managed to sell abit which was quite disappointing. maybe cause there was not enough ppl going for the market. anyways we had fun selling and learned some experiences in selling second hand goods. we'll try to do better next time. haha! i have a confession to make... i actually bought stuff from the market as well.. haha! a very cute and nice cosmetic pouch and a vintage looking ring and a pair of earrings as a gift for a friend and also a pair of high heels.. at really bargain price of course. i was attracted to our neighbour stall which was selling accessories that they design and handmade themselves. interesting exeperience indeed. will definately do it again.

movie!

i've been missing in action for a while here.. haha! well stay tuned though cause i got heaps of things happening this week. =P anyway last weekend i went out for a movie, angels and demons. it was a rather interesting movie to watch. i supposed there are alot of Dan Brown's fans out there, and cannot be denied that the story lines was so intense throughout the whole movie and i assumed it's even better in the book. rather controversial, the thing about christianity and science and perhaps cruelty? and the thing about Rome! the birth place of christianty.. the architectures and culture in the country is so unique and seriously i can't think of a perfect word to describe it. haha! i didn't get some of the details, the movie was so fast, very condensed but it was really good, the director did a great job in putting as much as possible in the movie. but i seriously didn't know that the 'good' priest was actually the bad guy!! thumbs up for ewan mcgregor! i think it's a movie that can't be missed.

busy week!

well i had a super busy week. also busy during the weekend. at work, i was learning the receptionist work, assignments like helping a new company to register with ASIC, a government sector to apply for companies, applying for ABN and GST and so on, applying for trust, stamping trust deed at the state revenue office, dealing with more clients at the front desk. sounds all technical.. haha! but it was interesting to learn all of them.

after such hectic week, i was so looking forward to the weekend for some rest. however it's different when you have two friends having their birthdays. on friday night after work, i headed to myer to shop around and fyi, myer in the city had a massive renovation and it's all so luxurious and classy. with the cosmetics department, great lightings and new modern look. and even better is that they are having the mid year sale! really tempting place to shop. haha! tempting but i have even greater mission. come back to that in a while. anyway after that i was waiting outside of myer to meet up with some friends that were going for dinner together. i was sitting at the bench with a guy next to me. and the next thing i realised he was having an argument with his girlfriend who was late for their date. i know it's not nice to eavesdrop on other ppl's conversation but i was sitting there. so i overheard their argument. both of them were indians, so they did use their language to argue but also in english. then this guy was complaining how he waited for her and he even complained over small things and how he had changed since he got together with her and so on. and the gal was also arguing and defending herself about the issues. well at some point, i almost wanna stood up and tell them to chill down. haha! of course i didn't do so.. but it was kinda sad to see how they argue and stuff. i would have to say it's never nice to argue with your beloved ppl around you, no matter for whatever reason it is, altho i have to admit that i do so too. ^^ so the moral of the story is that we should calm down ourselves to think before starting an argument with your loved ones.

anyway back to my dinner, haha! i met up with my friends and we went to federation square for a restaurant called feddish. the design of the restaurant was pretty nice, cosy and with warm lightings, not too bright and just a nice place to catch up with a few friends and have some nice food. however, the restaurant is famous of having slow service. hmm.. not so good as we were all starving by then. luckily i did manage to eat a sushi before that. i ordered a grilled fish of the day which was marlin and with salad. not too big serve, so i was probably only around 60% full. haha! but the taste itself was pretty good, with the moisture and sourness of the salad. my friends ordered others like salmon, lamb shanks, linguine, pizza and chicken. not many choices on their menus, but i would assume they are looking on quality more than quantity. overall, it was quite a nice place to try out except would be great if they could have quick service. after dinner we headed home to have shower before heading to friend place to cut cake at midnight. it was a tiring day for me.

on saturday i had some time to chill out at home, but sadly i woke up at 8.30am on a saturday morning! i had a dream that i was at work before i woke up and i couldn't get back to sleep. sigh.. so i did some washings and facebooking and bits and pieces of houseworks. haha! went out for dinner at springvale for another friend's birthday. then headed to sing k in the city for the whole night. huh! i have to say that i'm getting not used to staying up late. haha! below are photos of my grilled fish i had at feddish and the second one is the salmon that other friend had. looks yummy... ^_^

weekend..

well i've been busy at work, today just started working at the reception and there are so many things to learn and one of the thing is time management, cause all of the time things just piled up in front of you and seriously i kinda get lost.. haha! i'm still trying my best to absorb as much as i could and as quickly as i could. fingers cross that i do well..

during last weekend, i had a rather eventful one.on friday night, i went back home for dinner as usual.. but i went out for drinks and pancake with my friends at heilderberg, which is around half an hour away from my house. we drove such long way for a well known pancake house, called the stockers. well the environment of the place was rather small, warm, old fashioned, yet very cosy place. very homey feel i suppose. i tried the rum banana pancake. in fact it's more like crepes. it was alright, not too special i should say and a bit pricy.. i miss pancake on the rocks in sydney! haha..however, it's a nice place for chilling out with friends for a weekend night.

on saturday i went to williamstown with a group of friends. it's a small town which is about 15 mins away from the city by car. firstly we headed to the science works musuem. it's an interesting place. to be honest, i've never been to a science museum before. hahaha! good place for kids to learn some interesting science thingy.. there is also a planetarium, and also it was my first time. it's really nice inside, they were introducing the stars according to the oboriginals, so it was something that we don't really know, cause the common ones are the european stars like gemini, leo, cancer and so on.. but it was still an interesting experience. after our time in the museum, we went to the town area and hunt for food. we were starving by then, and we had fish n chips! it was pretty good! after satisfying our tummies, we went to walk around the pier. there were so many ships and boats! i wish i could own one someday. haha! and at night, i went for movies, altho i was so tired.. i've watched star trek! and chris pine, one of the main actor, is so good looking! and he is an australian! haha! well the movie was pretty good, better than expected. cause i've never watched star wars or star trek series before.

on sunday night, i finally managed to find time for baking! i made curry puffs and dad also said that it was pretty good. happy mother's day, altho mum is not around to enjoy my results. maybe will re-make it when she's back.^^ well that's my short yet eventful weekend.

some photos of the science works museum.. that's some bridge facts in aussie.

that's the yummy fish and chips that helped to satisfy our hunger..haha! looks delicious.. i'm hangry again! opsss..=P

seafood buffet!

yesterday i went to meet up some old friends that i knew from clayton rsl. we went to new quay for seafood buffet at docklands. before my trip to the city, i went to have a hair cut at glen, my usual place and i looked all fresh again! haha. especially my fringe. after my nice hair cut, i took the train to city. and since it was boring on the train, i took photo..=P anyway i headed to city earlier, around 3pm cause wanted to shop around. missed shopping in city even though i'm in the city 5 days a week. hahaha! found a new pair of working pants and a woolie kind of vest. another big mission was looking for chris's birthday present. ended up getting him a woolie top. i had heaps of fun shopping around and not enough time for me.. after that i met up with my friends and we headed to docklands. well it's a seafood buffet, they have many varieties, from salmon, sushi, steak, asian seafood dishes, satay, shark fin soup (fake ones?), peking duck, salads, mussels, oyster, prawns.. i would say it's not bad and it's about 40+ per person. but the thing is that they fixed the time limit for u to sit there. we started 6pm and they gave us the bill at 7.45pm sharp! we needed more time to chit chat so we headed outside at their waiting area to continue on. and we had 4 bottles of rose.. omg!! we just kept on chatting and drinking.. gosh! luckily it was rose.. anyway here's some of photos i took.. all in all, i had a great time catching up with friends and yummy food!

that's me after the hair cut.. look the same yea? cause it's the same hairdresser.. haha! and i only asked her for a trim..

outside southern cross station.. walked along the way towards docklands. nice view with the sunset background..

that's the restaurant!
a few dishes that i like.. haha! i had the second round of them.. =P

say cheese! with the nice view at the background. one of the nice part about the restaurant.. nice environment...

it's dessert time with more wine?

cold weather..

well after a long long hot days in melb, finally some cold weather.. staying at home for sunday cause it's raining heavily outside with strong winds with maximum of only 14 degrees today.. ohhhh... that's cold! yes we indeed need to rain to level up our water shortage problem! last night i had steamboat at home with a couple of friends and my family. best thing to do during cold weathers and it's my all time favourite.. hahaha! and it's cheaper to eat it at home despite of the dish washing and preparation for the meal.. oh wells i had lots of fun and so much to eat.. hahaha! talking about my fav food, other than steamboat during cold weather, i love kimchi soup! i can cook yummy kimchi soup at home, as good as the restaurants ones! =P i had it for lunch today.. haha! i'm now all warmed up and enjoying my weekend at home. been working 5 days this week so i was so looking forward for the weekend. actually wanted to head to city for the jazz festival, but too bad it's too cold and wet to go outside! must be wondering since when i love jazz music, haha! well i love soft music so jazz music is not bad! but i'm not sure with what jazz bands are they.. haha! just some random thoughts that i wanna share..

Sydney trip 2009

well ignoring my previous mumbling.. haha! i shall talk about my sydney trip.. on the early morning of good friday i was all packed with my stuff and ready to go to sydney... been doing research and stuff about sydney so i had a rough idea where to go.. but cause it was my first time, i was quite greedy in the number of places i wanna go.. haha! sadly was our plane was delayed for ages and we waited at the airport for at least one hour.. wasted our precious time!! oh yea this trip i went with wilson and lucy and also another primary schoolmate from brisbane, adrian.

after we touched down at the airport, i was feeling bit warm and stuffy! the weather was so different from melb's.. anyway we took a cab to the city and unlike melb, their airport was pretty close to city, only took about 15 mins or so.. as we checked in to YHA Central, the room was fairly clean and comfy and it was cheap! 40 plus per night for a person. by the time we settled in, it was already around 4pm.. we lost almost a day for the flight.. sigh! then we headed to chinatown to walk around. and fortunately there was a night market thing there! it was like at petaling street in kl! the chinatown area was really big and very asian feel. lots of asians everywhere! i was quite shocked! haha! i had some light food there and also a very nice sugarcane drink! after that we went over to walk around darling harbour.. too bad it was already dark that time, and i didn't get a good view of the place.. but the night view was rather different, nice place tho! then we were stucked with a street performance which a japanese guy performed some random show.. haha! it was kinda interesting! after that we had dinner at hurricane bar and grill.. the ribs and steak there was superb! super delicious and very big serving! with the night view outside, and good food, that's definately a nice place to try out. we were lucky to have the window seats.. awesome experience! after such a big meal, we walked all the way to star city, the sydney's casino. maybe cause it was public holiday, the casino was all packed with ppl.. and i should say crown casino in melb is still the best! haha.. they do give out 10 dollars credit for joining in their membership but need to wait for 24 hours. too bad we didn't get to enjoy that credit. haha! i was tempted to play but i ended up didn't.. :P then we walked all the way back to central.. it was indeed a long walk and we were all exhausted by the time we reached back. haha!

the next day we went to blue mountains. it was a last minute decision as the weather turned out to be alright despite the weather report we had before was showing that it was gonna have thunderstorms. it took us 2 hours to reach katoomba by train. and also to mention that the train was double decker.. how cool was that. haha! when we reached there, we took the explorer bus around the place. as we arrived there at around noon time, we had limited time to go around the place, cause there was like 20 plus spots to go around the area. we took a pick and went to a few spots only. one was the katoomba falls. the view there was awesome.. i'm a fan of waterfalls. haha! then we took the prince henry walk that took us around 20 mins or more to arrive at the scenic world, too bad we didn't have enough time to go for the cable ride. the walk was great, something like the mt kinabalu climb. we were in the forest and with tall trees around.. then we went to this lookout that overview the whole katoomba falls and three sisters. awesome! took quite alot of photos there. and then it was drizzling a bit along the way. after that we took the explorer bus to echo point where the home of the three sisters. well that was a nice one! and u know wat? i actually bumped into one of my junior, gosh! that was like so lucky! haha! she's also from melb.

oh yea do you know blue mountains are blue? well the blue haze, unique to blue mountains, is of a different hue and deeper than anywhere in the world. it is caused primarily by Eucalyptus trees emitting oil vapour into the atmosphere which along with fine dust particles and droplets of water vapour, scatter the blue light more than any other colour in the spectrum. there you go! haha!

after that we went back to katoomba village and headed to papagino's to have some pizzas. the pizza was pretty good! the restaurant had won rewards before! but we were not allowed to take photos there.. lol.. and the thing is that i was having upset stomach that time.

huh..it was raining heavily that time.. luckily we had our umbrellas.. the rain was more like the ones we have in malaysia. so we went to chill out in a second hand books and antiques shop. it was such an interesting experience cause the shop was full with british style of antiques and books.. the books that we used to read.. wow! haven't seen that for ages. will show you some photos of it later. then we headed back to syd city. we met up with phil and rachel for dinner at bbq king. which is well known of their roasts. and to be honest, it was so so.. not too special for me i would say. but do you know that they have models to promote their shop. they had posters of models in the shop. something i haven't seen before. haha! so that was our first two days.. to be continued..

weekend..

it's getting cold and wet in melb at the moment. it's a good thing but it's the time when u would find it so hard to get out of the bed.. at least it applies to me. haha! last sunday i went to the melbourne flower and garden show in carlton garden. it was my second time, but sadly it was a cold and wet day too! so didn't enjoy it very much and i was soaked in the rain, haha! but indeed a nice day to catch some fresh air. i was in the city by 10am and there was the charity run for royal children's hospital. the funny thing was i was sort of part of the run too! haha! cause there was no tram services, so i was joining the stampede.. it was a bit funny! but i had fun myself.. :P just a small part, maybe one or two kilometre? i hope..

i also went to watch shinjuku incident, it's the first chinese movie that i watched here, by jackie chan. i still think that the mummy 3, the forbidden kingdom is better. the movie was a bit violent for me, i still prefer the chick flicks movie. haha! anyways i'm working these three days before my sydney trip, how awesome! altho it's bit out of the blue. haha!

awww...i miss my bed in this type of cold nights.. winter is in the air! yet it's only autumn.

Weekend..

well on sunday i went for badminton as usual, altho i've missed it last week. hehe! the weather is getting cooler at the moment, so in order for me to sweat, it takes up more effort to move around, so i did play more, putting more effort to sweat.. felt good after that. ^^ after badminton, we would go for lunch, and normally i'll be seriously starving by then. haha! then i went to city to pick up some stuff. the thing is during my way to the city, there was a small incident happened in the train. i was in the first cabin of the train and normally disabled ppl would get into that cabin. there was a disabled on wheelchair came into the train. he had difficulties to control his movement and verbally as well. there was a couple kept on teasing and laughing or i should say more like insulting the disabled guy. OMG! that is so so so..can't even find a word to describe it!i was alone at that time so i didn't dare to speak out. but i seriously felt so bad for the disabled guy. that stupid,idiotic and ironic couple!shame on them! i always thought that disabled ppl in australia are well treated. i used to work with the clayton rsl restaurant, and i did come across with celebrations and parties sponsored by certain organisations for the disabled ppl.they really look after for the welfare of the disabled ppl. oh well, that shows how ugly it is in some part of the society.

on monday i went to city to meet up with frankie and ck, my ex-schoolmates. old friends indeed.^^ we went to lygon street to have some nice pasta and pizza. frankie is a make-up artist, who came over to melb to attend the loreal melbourne fashion festival. of course, i got to grab some tips from him about make-up. talking about make-up, well ppl who knows me well should know that i barely have make-up on during normal days. hmm.. there's a saying, there's no gals who are ugly, but only gals who are lazy. i'm one of the lazy gal i think. haha! and also with my eczema skin problem, i'm rather sensitive with using skin products. have to use fragrance free, alcohol free type of products. that's why in terms of picking make-up products and facial products, it's rather hard task for me. =P but remember i've got some tips from frankie. will improve myself in that matter. haha! important is to be healthy.. well here's some photos that ck and i took when we sent off frankie to docklands for the runway show for the fest. nice deco with sparkly background..

that's the make-up artist all the way from brissie! haha! well at night we went to glen waverley and tried out a newly opened hakka restaurant and as you can see from the photos above, we had two dishes and it was really yummy. suprisingly. haha! nice day hanging out with old friends..
