Hello 2013

HELLO!!!!

Ok, firstly, pardon me for any grammatical, spelling, whatever crap mistakes that I have made in this post. I'm too lazy to re-read and edit. Sorry! & ok, other posts too since I'm not perfect.
Let's start:
Been such a long while since I've updated my blog. I have been soooo busy for the whole of 2012!!! Everything just kept coming and coming that I experienced days when I just want shut myself from the world; been through days staying awake for 48 hours, the panicky feeling, etcetc.
Or bite anyone who stepped on my tail.
Horrible feeling.. but a great sense of achievement after seeing my hard work being paid off.

Academically, I had:
9 months dedicated to my honours research & thesis;
2 months to work on my research for publication (Hooray! Was really really lucky because my supervisor actually forgot to appeal for me to get my uni to fund for my manuscript but my faculty health was kind enough to allow the appeal through).

I had also went through some terrible rocky periods in 2012. Very bad memories that I wished it will never come back again. :( & that I will forget. Not going into the details.

Anyhow, forget the bad stuff (including THAT stress period during my thesis writeup!)!!! I had lots of fun too!

Holiday trip to China.



Where I get to eat and eat and eat one of my favourite type of food - SPICY MALA.



MASSIVE SLURPSSSSS.

Then, Falls creek (unable to find the photos! #$%#% Maybe I did not even take any photos because been there too many times!)

Gold coast trip # 1 (July)



Gold coast trip # 2 (November)



YUP! This time its with my dearest sister! Plus other extras (hehe. JK!)


Wished that my youngest was there too! :( Actually (huh), I am very very sian of Gold Coast already. BUT NEVER MIND BECAUSE IT'S WITH MY SISTER DEAR <3
Will probably go again for my sis bf in 2013 cos he will be coming Melb with sister. But that's ok, will be fun! Because it is with my sister. <3
DOUBLE DATE <3

Actually, for my trips in July, was planned wayyyy in advance. Did not expect my honours year to be so packed. But oh well, I HAVE SURVIVED! Which led to...

MY GRADUATION!!




BF graduated too!



Copy me only. TSK.

& we also went for a road trip to Sydney!



AND MY FAVOURITE HIGHLIGHT FOR THE TRIP.. dinner at TETSUYA !!



Gotta be my favourite degustation. Definitely prefer that to Vue De Monde.
Will blog about the food next time!

Actually, I changed my mind. The highlight for my trip is..



THAT TRUFFLE CAME ALONG!!

Sebel One Pier allows dog, very rare for an international hotel to allow. LUCKY BITCH.

*

Of course there were many other significant memories in 2012,
LIKE LISTENING & DANCING TO TIESTO LIVE! OMG. FREE SOMEMORE BECAUSE I WAS WORKING AT THE BAR FOR STEREOSONIC!!!



(DAMN. PHOTO OF MYSELF TOO BIG. But too lazy to edit so doesnt matter lah hor.)
Tiesto did the last show and the bar closes early... SO WOOHOOO.
I had the video but I'm just too lazy to upload. Many next time? (probably never knowing myself)

What else.. hmm. oh yea,
Thank you to Sophie dear for making the birthday arrangements.




and thanks to myself for BF's surprise birthday arrangement in China (thank you thank you! heehee. I know he is a lucky guy.)




And actually, the most important moments in my 2012 is spending time with my beloved family because I have been away from them for so long. Not even sure if I can go back for this year's CNY. :(



and yes, I would also like to say thanks to my beloved GFs, whom we have been friends for so many years, for all the fun and laughter. LOVE YOU ALL.



OK, THAT WAS TAKEN IN 2011. Can't find any photos for 2012 tho. Not sure if we even take any while I was in SG since most of the times when we hang out, it is at Simpang, 85, this kind of places. But that doesnt really matter. :)

OH OH. I REMEMBERED WE HAVE THIS PHOTO. Thanks to Pearlyn. :)



*

Hopefully I can go back SG for CNY, miss everyone back in SG. Spa date with my bestie, MAO SHANG WANG date, kolo mee date, etcetc!
AND
To those I did not mention or met up with, not that you guys don't matter to me.
Like this girl here, who I did not meet up with in 2012! Sorry dear. :(



& to the other people, like my uni friends. You guys still play a important role in my life, bringing me to where I am today. Thank you all.

TO END THIS, MAY EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU HAVE A FABULOUS 2013. Even when you meet any obstacle(s) during your 2013 journey, stay strong and positive. Your life will get better each day. LOVE.

Belated Post #6

Wicked!



Awesomeness. Like whaoo.

The July Babies!

Coming up,

Our Celebrations!

ヽ(*ゝω・)ﾉ♡

Why I've been MIA-ing!

Busy busy busy. BUT BEEN HAVING LOTSA FUN!

(Except for my wisdom tooth... due for extraction the week after next!)

One of the many many billion zillion photos!

Us at Kbox.

Just last Monday!

Even Truffle is playing hard!

PS// Need to get back on track with my studies.. then, maybe then I will update more of ze ♡!

My Lil Bday Celebration!

Been really busy the past few weeks (coming to a month). Always OUT for most of the times... exhausting but enjoyable.

Roadtrips, etcetc.

♥

Just a little short post on my bday celebration!

A simple one with good company.

♥

Oh yes, dental appointment too for my wisdom tooth extraction. There is/was/is/was inflammation on my gum.

Yup, that bad.

So, I had to get that remove.

Just when I thought that I dont have to BECAUSE IT WAS GROWING UPRIGHT! But my jawline is NOT BIG ENOUGH and therefore, my gum decided to grow over the wisdom tooth to try and conceal it (something along that line).

It will be my first tooth extraction!!!!! （ﾟдﾟlll）

♥

Anyway,

had a surprise bday cake at midnight, in the car, ON OUR (me, bf, sop & jerm) WAY TO DINNER.

Super late dinner because we got kicked out of the house by the boys.

6 hours! In a dead shopping mall.

♥

Got kicked out at 5pm after our Dandenong trip.

Andddd all shops (except for supermarket, cinemas and SOME food joints.) closes at 5pm (unless Thurs & Fri)

So, in a dead mall, we managed to do the following:

• Caught Super 8. >>>> WE DIDNT LIKE IT! Was pretty disappointed with the movie. It was like some kind of exaggerated train explosion w a mean ET)

• Hang around Kmart.
• A ball-throwing-at-rodents/ghosts arcade game.
• Watching HP fans dressed up for the premiere! Something like this:

Secretly snapped a photo.

There were others, including Voldemort!

♥

ANDDDD

Bday lunch w Sophieeeeee because the boys had some errands and couldnt make it back on time!

Then, HP7 Part II!!!!

As usual, the book would have been more detailed.

♥

Andddd dinner at Kagu Ra Zaka.

Some of the food that we gobbled:

♥

And our (quite horrible) dessert.

At this Monga sweet house.

Did you see the whole egg in the dessert soup!!!!

Unless it's some HK traditional stuff?

The black sesame.... ARENT GOING BACK!

Or might give them a chance by trying their other desserts.

Only BF's yam dessert was good. Tasted like "Orh-nee" though their description just doesnt match!

PS// They have got no steam milk pudding!! T___T

Following our beefy dinner at Takumi!

PARTEHHHHHHH!

And

Presenting...

The birthday boy:

Love Ee Ling Day

WHY?

WHY?

WHY?

Free parking ticket by a uni schoolmate who was leaving the campus when I just parked my car.

And yup, an Ang Moh stranger. シ

My presence in school is like only once or twice a week so..

Even though I saved only like AUD5, it still brightens up my day!

So cheapskate right! HEHEHEHE.

Oh well, what can I say?

The life of a poor student. (へーべ ✿)

♥

Next!

What are the odds of strangers approaching you to offer you FREE 3D tv (worth 5k?).

(Boyfriend is still grumbling why I rejected them since even if they did deliver to our place, he will be around.)

It happened when I was walking towards the carpark after doing some mid-week grocery shopping and this company delivery van with two delivery men (late 20s) stopped to speak to me.

They said they had extra stock thus why.

Apparently, they find it a waste to return them back? Even opened up and show them to me. AND.

They even helped me to carry my groceries back to the car. HMMM.

Still,

I find it odd and fishy so I decided to turn them down.

Was kind of cold to them too. Oh boy.

Its not like I know they are my suitors but they are strangers!

I'm not that greedy afterall. (✿´ ψψ `)

♥

Finally!

My day was ended with lovely treats from Charlene at Koko Black.

(Of course, we gave her a treat the day after at Ganache!)

She was here on her company lil retreat and we met up at night after the tour to bring her to some yummilicious dessert place in Melb.

As it was late by the time we met, we could only bring her to Koko Black.

Ganache's definitely the first choice but we left it for Saturday instead.

♥

Nevertheless, can I officially declare 15 April 2011 to be

Love Ee Ling Day?

(Even tho I declined the free 3-D TV offer I know.)

Overdued - Part II

Just some random-nessmous.

♥

Miss Koi!

Slurpssss.

Wanted to post up my favourite selection from Gong Cha - Gong Cha Milk Green Tea

(The yummyness from the slight hint of salt in the Gong Cha milk. AWESOMENESS.)

But then ah I dont know why I HAVE GOT NO PHOTO RECORDS OF MY GONGCHA MOMENTS!

I thought I had some... oh well.

Miss my Each-a-Cup tooooooooo.

Guess I got to make do with my home-made bubble green milk tea for now. ( ノ ㇸ し ✿)

Bubbles bubbling.

♥

Actually Melb do have some decent bubble tea like Easy Way. (and prob Ten Ren to some though I very much prefer Easy Way)

BUT STILLLLL.

♥

Next up!

Awww. My convenient bottled midnight snack.

♥

Anddddd now. This cute drawing!

Artist in the making: The little pretty girl in the picture below.

Cuteness is when she describe that drawing differently every time you asked her what's that drawing is about. Love and misses. Both of them.

♥

Anddddd the last steamboat at my place before leaving for Melb.

Supposed to be the "Last Day of CNY" dinner sort of thing but was delayed to the last Thurs before my departure because daddy wanted to wait for Bryan.

♥

Lastly,

I-I-I-I’ve had the time of my li-i-ife ♪♫ (っ✿￣∇￣)っ╰(ヘ▽ヘ)ﾝ
