Melbourne life

I was so glad I sat SIA there because the plane was freaking big and nice! And totally no plane-sick at all! I could eat like nobody's business. HAHA unlimited red/white wine, apple/orange juices, and alot more. And they kept waking us up to eat man. We had like dinner, then supper then breakfast. Then juices in between :P hehehe

*my leg space hahahahaha :P*
they even provide pillow and blanket :) hehe so comfortable!

*our dinner* such a big complete set!

*pan-fried chicken in creamy sauce with baked potatoes*yummy!!

*tiramisu ice cream for dessert! :D*

*and look what I saw outside my window! so NICE SO COOL!*

Touched down, passed immigration and customs and breathe my first Melbourne air.




Sat a cab to our hostel. Unilodge on Swanston Street. Right in front of the State Library. And because that road is not accessible by cars, the driver had to drop us like at another street and we had to drag all our damn blardy luggage to our hostel. FML


Room was small, dirty and I was freaking disappointed.I just wanted to take the next plane home. But now, I guess I accepted the fact that I'm stuck here for another 6months. And the room doesnt feel so bad anymore. Hmmm :(

*OUR APARTMENT*
hall

kitchen

room

toilet

*view of the State Library from my room window! so niceeee:)*

*the bear that I hug to sleep every night :P*
Thanks jie!

The good thing about the location of our hostel is that its so near all the shopping places like BigW, Coles bla bla bla. So very convenient for us to buy our stuffs.

*My first meal in Melbourne-Spicy Pork Ribs* in some random cafe along Chinatown

Cher told me yesterday, 'go pamper yourself tomorrow.' And so I chose to eat someting good to pamper myself :)

*Spicy pork bento*
Freaking awesome goooood. Portion freaking huge I couldnt finish it! But worth my money!!
Felt so happy after eating it.

Today was somewhat an OKAY day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day :)


Hehe and the good friend, Kay-Li came all the way to my house in the morning of the day I was supposed to fly off, just to give me this pressie and also a hug. Aww so touched :) Thanks kaylichoo :P




And before I left Malaysia, darling took me on an eating spree. Seriously we ate and ate non stop. Cause I know when I'm here, I wont be able to afford the good food here :(

*Korean food at Uncle Jang* Super awesome!

And our last meal together at my favorite place- D' Italianne Kitchen. Thanks dearieeee :) He said 'I wanna bring you to the place where we first started' AWWWWW :p

I AM ALIVE!

HELLO CHERYL LEE! HELLO TEH SZE HOU!! I'M ALIVE! I HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION LIKE FINALLY!!!!

OMG now only I realised the importance of internet man! 2 days of no internet and I swear I was gonna die! The moment I opened my apartment door and looked at the place, I sat on the sofa, and said 'I wanna go home :('


Hopefully I'll get used to this place soon. :(

Last 4 days

And I must spend it wisely. Which means spend every day I have left with Hou. Then I will say bye to all and disappear for the next 5 months. I will treat it as a LONG holiday and I MUST enjoy myself there cause its a once in a life time experience!!

Like what Hou said,
"Its only 5 months! and if you count the time I'll be there to visit you, the exact period that we're gonna be apart is only 4 months."


I know its already considered very lucky,seeing that some couples had to have a LDR for years. Ours is nothing. Hehe so I dont care ah dear! I assume 100% that you will be coming in June so that we can go on our Sydney trip together! Will be waiting for you!!!! :)



And also, I really appreciate those who organized farewell gatherings for me (KBU gang, monash gang) and also those who planned to send me off on that day itself. But I declined :( I really appreciate that you all took the trouble to arrange transport to get to KLIA to send me off but I really really do not want anyone to send me off. Sorrrrry :(


So I will list down the stuffs that I was up to for the past week:


1. Double date with Cher and her bf. Had dinner at Jarrods and Rowlins, Damansara Heights.

Food was FREAKING AWESOME. No joke. So happy that I finally got the chance to try it.It was so freaking awesome that I feel like going back there again before I leave :P

*Streaky bacon, Smoked Cheese Sausage, Dynamite Sausage, Pork Chop*

*Lamb Shoulder, Lamb Sausage, Mushroom?, Mash Potatoes*

*Pork Belly*

2. I re-cut my hair plus dyed it using Liese Bubble Hair Color in Sweet Apricot. Thank you Cher, for helping me :D

Not really the same color as what I expected but oh well, at least my hair is not so black anymore.

3. CNY dinner and farewell gathering for me with KBU gang.



All food prepared by Dai Lou. Thanks so much :)













4. Random Genting plan. Double date again with Cher :)

Had breakfast first at my favorite place.

*Hakka Mee*

*TOO AWESOME CHAR SIEW*

*our driver of the day*
Thanks dear! :D

First time going into the casino with my own IC. happy happpppy ;D And we won money. Not alot but at least we did not lose.

*Had starbucks-Signature Hot Chocolate*
My new favorite :)

5. Finally Hou took me to try the German restaurant.

*potato soup*

*one of the best salad I've tasted*

*Dory Fish*

*Rump Steak, which was pathetically SMALL*

Overall food was just okay. But glad I had the chance to try it.


Lol Cher was right when she asked Hou.."How often do you take her to eat hawker food????"
Hehe and Hou said "I guess never?"
Oopppsss sowiee dear :P At least you can save your money for the next 5 months while I'm away :P



6.Fell sick like a day before and after eating numerous medicines and 10 hours of sleep, I'm well and fine again thank god.


And I guess thats it. 4more days. Blehhhhh


-mun-

9 more days :(

Darling's birthday was few days ago and I'm so sorry dear cause I couldnt celebrate your birthday on the day itself. But as promised, I made it up to him by cooking for him as his birthday lunch/dinner. Both his favorite Spaghetti Carbonara and Baked Potatoes with Cheese. Hehe hope you enjoyed it dear :)

*All the ingredients*
Its not cheap okayy. Spent close to rm50.

*My potatoes BEFORE putting in to the oven*

*and AFTER*
yummmy!

*frying the beef*
too bad we didnt had bacon orelse it would seriously be the bomb! :(

*sauce almost done*

*in between cooking, we had to camwhore hahahahaha*

*Spaghetti Carbonara* :D
Recipe credits to my sis hahahaha :P

And I finally got to try the Japanese buffet, Saisaki at Wisma UOA!!

But honestly, it was quite disappointing. I expected way too much I guess. Or maybe its because I've been eating in Senjyu so often that when I tasted the food here, it was really very "normal". Nothing beats Senjyu la please! :P Also not many varieties as compared to Tenji lo.

*the best thing there was the beef and salmon teppenyaki*
Really awesome. But thats it. I ate 2 plates of this hahahahaha

*had lou sang too!*

*sashimi was OKAY only..not as fresh as the ones in Senjyu*

Not really worth the money unless you're a really big fan of teppanyaki. Then u can just sit there and grab all the teppanyaki haha :P


Anyway I wanna go bai nian. I wanna gamble till midnight. I wan to have the CNY atmosphere. Please bring me out someone :DDD


9more days.FML

-mun-

Gong Xi Fa Cai! :D

Happy CNY everyone :D It sucks that when everyone is busy enjoying CNY and going bai nian, I'm running around trying to get things sorted out before i leave to aus, which is in 11 days FML. I'm a sad girl, I dont wana leave :'(

Anyway back to CNY, spent 3 days at grandma's house. With hot weather, sweating non stop at all times, eating non stop, and the ever so adorable cousins :) I guess other than the disgusting toilet and bathroom and bugs we had to endure, everything was good :D

*I taught him how to do "the face" that I love :P*

*shes so cute I just wanna squeeeeeeeezeeeeee herrr :DD*

Hehe and my favourite drink these days....

*Gong Cha! all thanks to Cher's influence!!*

*RT Pastry's Chocolate Mirror Cake*

Had Senjyu again :D I must eat more before I leave because I wont have any food to eat in Aussie cause I dont think I can afford to eat out there!!

*3 times in a month!* hahahahaha :D

*our new favourite- beef sukiyaki* Awesome stuffs!

He brought me for dimsum at a restaurant near his house and it turned out to be not bad :)

Yummmy!!

And and I allowed Cher to do scaling and polishing on my teeth. And it was painful :( Haha and she said 'you are seriously the most talkative patient I ever had man' LOL. Even with all the instruments in my mouth, I still could talk to her hahahahahah XD And she stimulated my vomit reflex freaking alot of times. Haha okie la fine I wasn't very cooperative :P I'm sowieee :P



And I'm freaking loving my new phone. Kthxbai.

-mun-

My newest love :)

None other than...........

AND ITS WHITE!! :DDD

Thanks so much dear!!!!!!!!!! Even though you're already super super superrrrrrr broke but you insisted that you will make sure I'll get a smart phone before I leave to Melbourne. Because you know this will help me in many ways. Like getting apps which allows me to look at the whole train system in melbourne. And also easier for you to contact me there with Whatsapp, Skype :)

Thanks for running all around Curve. Searching up down everywhere just so that I could get my phone on that day itself because you knew if I couldnt get it, I would be super disappointed. I'm sorry I threw my tantrums that day.
My 3rd resolution : Try to control my temper!!!!


And after getting the phone, he still took me for a good dinner at Tony Romas. Just cause I wasn't feeling really happy before that and cause he said that it's been a long time since we last had a good meal. Thanks again dear!!

*Fried Mushrooms!*

*Beef Ribs and Chicken Tenders*

We over ordered that nite. Lol and ended up we had to tapau back. And the whole time we were eating dinner, I was playing with my new love <3 Pictures above taken with my love. Not bad eh.

And I came home, and started downloading apps. And started kacau-ing Cher on Whatsapp. Haha so fun :P

I'm trying to customize my phone cause its so plain and ugly now but I realize its not as easy as I thought! I dont even know how to use all the apps okay. Ishh but I will figure it out soon :D And I'll make my phone the prettiest phone :D


Tata for now
