Missing it badly

Every single day since I was back, I never fail to miss my life in Melbourne. Everytime I hear someone talking about Melbourne or posting pictures about Melbourne, I'll feel so jealous, knowing I was once there. That place was once my home :(


How much I miss my bed, my room, the cold weather. How much I miss waking up in the morning, feeling so warm under my quilt, how I miss the sound of the tram just below my window, the sound of the pedestrian crossing lights, sound of street performers, the voice of Kimman singing at least 3 times a week. Everything seems so familiar.


How much I miss the usual Friday night dinners, and Saturday morning breakfast. How I miss being able to sleep in until 2pm, miss staying in bed the whole day watching dramas. Haihhh..


I would do anything, I would sacrifice anything, to get the life I once had in Melbourne. If only I could :(


Now I understand why so many people just refuse to leave Melbourne once they have graduated. They would rather find any part time jobs for the time being just to remain in there till they find a real proper job. If only I could do the same thing.


IF ONLY I could transfer there and continue my last 2 years of studies in Parkville. HAIHHHH

Now I can only dream of that place, waiting for that one day that I will return there. I definitely will :) Some day......



Now I have other things to worry about..... because .....

having this name tag means that I'll be off for my placements soon. In 2 weeks time.

And of all places they wanna throw me to, they decided to throw me into some rural kampung area that even google map cannot locate. A place 30 minutes away from Kuala Selangor town. With no address. Just postcode. FML seriously.

Why, of all places, why here????? I was praying so badly, hoping so badly that I would get Johor but noooo they just have to put me in this miserable place for 3 weeks. And how the hell am I gonna find accommodation in this rural area for 3 weeks??? You want me to stay in the kampung house with all the disgusting insects and mosquitoes meh????? No internet for 3 weeks HOW CAN????


Please pray to god I will survive this place.

He's taking me to eat hawker food d!! Hor Cheryl??! Improve right me!! :PP I promise I will sayang his wallet as much as I can hahahahahahha ;P



And more food to come soon. Oh and we had KFC too!! OMG everyone who knows me know that I'm a super duper BIG fan of KFC. And most of the time, I'll be craving for KFC. Even if I'd just eaten it yesterday, I'll be craving for it again today. Everytime the bf asked me where I wanna eat, the FIRST ting that comes to my mind is KFC!! why la am I so addicted to it. But I told him 'hey im so good k. kfc so cheap. you're lucky i love to eat cheap food orelse you more pokkai ;p'


So prepare for more food post muahahahhaa :P


And now, I'm stuck with doing Community work every tuesday from 9am-5pm because I have to complete a minumum of 56 hours to pass my subject. But on the brightside, its quite fun!

I'm doing my community service at Kechara Soup Kitchen, which supply free food to the homeless people.


Quite a meaningful work actually. I'll even be following them on their midnight shifts where we will go around finding for the homeless people living on the streets of KL from 8.30pm till 1 am in the morning and give them food.


The only downside to this community work is driving to KL every tuesday during the peak period!! Traffic jam ishhhhhhhhhh.. But I think I'll enjoy my 56 hours with the Soup Kitchen :)



And look what happened to my leg........

*Left side S size, Right side XL size*
FML got bitten by an unknown insect and there goes my foot T.T

Dear got a shock of his life when he saw my leg and immediately wanted to take me to the doctor but I said noooo cause I have my own doctor at home!! Consulted my own sister, *ahem* Dr Siaw, and she gave me oral anti-histamine and corticosteroid, and also topical corticosteroid. Free consultation and medications for life ;)

Please be good to me and reduce the size of my foot to my original size.



Tata for now!

Sydney Trip

Hehe ok I'm finally free to post about my Sydney trip. Plus I also got the pictures already.

Firstly, I must say how freaking awesome all the pictures are, thanks to the DSLR. Like omgg its so clear man! I swear to god, im gonna save up all my money and buy a DSLR soon. Before my next trip I hope? And I only want a Canon DSLR. Nothing else :P Cause I'd tried both Nikon and Canon DSLR, and somehow I love the pictures taken by a Canon more :)

Dear told me to think properly before buying one because he's afraid that it would be one of my "impulse" buying. Hmmm quite true. So I'm just gonna wait till my next trip and IF i feel like I still need to own a DSLR, we will get one :)


Ok back to Sydney.

*Lunch with the friends at Fish Market*

*Bondi Beach is one of the most awesome beach I've ever seen!!*
Much much better compared to Surfers Paradise beach lorr..Was kinda disappointed with the beach at Gold Coast :(

Headed over to the Rocks to have Pancakes on the Rocks. Heard from people that the branch at Darling Harbour is not good so we decided to try out the original branch which is at The Rocks, thus the name of the place.

*Overall, it was not too bad :))* But like nothing extraordinary la.

Then after that, we walked all the way back to Circulay Quay, took a train to Central, and from Central station, walked to Chat Thai. Took us freaking 20minutes to find that damn place!!!

*But I love the food there!! It was gooood! :D*

Was exhausted after all the walking, the other gang decided to visit Uni of Sydney while me and my other 3 bodyguards went back to our hotel to have a rest.

*Dinner was at Hurricane's Grill*

Freaking awesome!! We waited for like 2 hours for a table and I'll definitely say it was WORTH the wait!!!

*Us girls :)*

After dinner, we walked over to Star City Casino. which I won 20bucks!! WOOHOO! The day before, we were there too and I won 16bucks..Hehehehe...


Stayed in the casino for like dont know how long because we were all hyper and ready to win more money. We got carried away and when we saw the time, it was already 12.30am. Haha no bus no train to go back to our hotel.


Our only option is either to take the cab or walk. But since we were not willing to pay so much for a cab, we decided to walk back LOL. 1 hour plus walk back to our hotel. Seriously had funnnnn. With GPS and map, we found our way home, even though we kept getting lost.


Next morning, dear ffk me for breakfast :( He couldnt wake up so he told his brother to teman me with my friend.

*the corn fritters here is the best I'd eaten!*

Went jalan jalan at Paddy's Market for souvenirs, then we had this random idea to take a tram over to Star City for Adriana Zumbo desserts.

*NOTHING beats the dessert here man seriously!!!!!*
The salted popcorn macaroon is the BOMB. It totally melts in ur mouth!!!

Then the guys went up to the casino to try their luck again. Seriously we went to the casino 3 days in a row LOL. and in 10mins, dear won 60bucks!! Woo Hoooooooo!!! ;D


My gang of friends were flying back to Melbourne that afternoon so after that we went our own separate ways. I insisted that I wanted to try the famous Korean food so we went searching for it, and finally found it :)

Dear treated everyone with the 60bucks he won earlier hehe :P So kind hearted la this bf aiyoyo
