Summer..

summer is getting really hot here in melb. however, today we have an exceptionally cool and windy day which is nice for sleep in. i enjoyed the lazy day at home. yesterday i went to venus bay. we brought back some pippies that we caught at the bay. and i'm having bodyache today, good stretching i suppose. it was a really nice beach, with soft golden sand, cooling sea breezes and strong sea waves. the weather was pretty good yesterday, so there were quite alot of people hanging out along the beach. great day to head to the beach. lovely day, beautiful view, and you can find lots of sea shells along the beach.

heat wave..

it was so hot yesterday in melbourne. it was a max of 44 degrees and it didn't cool down much during the night. luckily i was in the office all day. when i got out of the office, it was like going into sauna. a good way to keep fit i suppose. the hot weather made me sweat and had no appetite to eat as well. with this hot weather, it all comes down to the global warming issues. lucky for us that the heat wave is gone for now and some cool air is blowing in. remember to take care...

Mornington day trip..

i just started back to work after my long holidays.. and i find it extremely hard to get back the working mode. i'm trying my best on that. anyways with my holidays, i went to point nepean at mornington peninsula and it was such a nice place. went there with dear, richard, sis and my cousin dylon. lucky us that the weather was good that day. i guess i just miss going out of the city once in a while. richard was the photographer for the day and we had a few nice photos. love it! even took photo with my polaroid camera and it was pretty. the colour tone was really nice. we took a bus into the national park and walked back to the carpark which was 3.5km away. good exercise with nice view. =D

we also went to the montalto vineyard and olive grove. it was also a lovely place with different artistic sculpture around the area. we took a walk around the vineyard and also took some nice photos there. of course thanks to richard again. we wanted to have lunch at the montalto restaurant which is one of the top reviewed restaurant. but unfortunately you need to book a table to dine there. i guess it was holiday season and everywhere is packed with people. and so we went to sunny ridge strawberry farm for lunch dessert. still happy for that cause i just can't get enough of the strawberry desserts there. had a really awesome day with nice food, nice view, nice photos and of course dearest people.

happy new year!

happy new year!! this year is going to be a good year. all best wishes for everyone. i spent my last few days of 2009 with my loved ones, friends and family. i had alot of fun and enjoyed my holidays so much that i don't feel like going back to work next week. haha! miss you lots!

merry xmas!

merry christmas everyone!! after a hectic week of work, i finally get to rest and relax myself. free from all the tension. my office will be closing until 4th of Jan, which means i have more than a week of holiday, it really means alot, cause i haven't been taking any holidays ever since i started work at the accounting firm. good time for me to recharge myself. good thing is that dear is here for christmas with me. going to have lots of fun! already started the fun yesterday by having a huge family dinner with all the relatives, my cousin's family was here too. richard and my cousin are also here from tassie for the week. so we're planning for road trip! but of course at the same time, we're waiting patiently for boxing day. a day of full-on shopping. sounds exciting!

well it's also a good time for me to do more eating and more blogging. haha! still enjoying it. summer weather here in melbourne for this year is rather weird, keep on changing. have to be careful not to get sick. actually i always wanted to complete my scrapbook, something like a summary of photos for the year. so hopefully i have time to do before it's new year! but lately i've been taking photos of food only.. haha! meanwhile we'll just sit back and relax the holidays. many things had happened throughout the year and hopefully it'll only get better next year!

*hugs*

christmas tree..

christmas is around the corner. last week i went mornington for cherry picking and along the way we went to santa's place, a place where you can buy christmas tree, a real tree... and also alot of decoration stuffs for the tree. it was such a lovely place, where you will get to 'wow' at every thing that you look at. it was like a missing childhood experience for us. haha! the place was all crowded. really can get the christmas feel there. what's christmas wish for this year? ermm.. good health and good luck in studies... i want my presents under the tree please! :P

weekend...

it's weekend again! well i got my results on friday night. and i didn't manage to do well this time, unfortunately i didn't pass it. was kinda calm when i knew it but eventually the emotions came in after that. but yea i know that i've tried my best, so i supposed this should be a good lesson for me on how to manage myself with time and study for the next time. anyways on friday night i went dinner with a few girlfriends and followed up with a few drinks at air-stream cafe at the glen. just non-stop of chit chat the whole night. i guess it did help me to relax myself. thanks to them. after coming back home, had a chat with dear as well. so i was feeling alot better. xoxo

on saturday i just spent the whole day shopping with the gals. we went direct factory outlet at moorabbin and then to chadstone. we also splurged ourselves at lindt chocolate cafe in the evening. i bought myself a lovely top with a cute tulip skirt. and so i ended my day by coming back home doing some cleaning and washing. and one more important thing is that i've finally came out with my food blog, starting it at blogspot for the time being and see how it goes before getting myself a website for it. it's melsloveoffood.blogspot.com. there might be some repetitive stuff from here, will have fun with it and hope that you have fun reading as well. probably will still do two sides, here is for personal and that one is for just food. see how it goes..
