STAY TUNED GUYS!!!

*hopes that she has not lost her readers* :(

never ending walks

OMGGG! thinking back on this day, it was super tiring! Hahaha, but if i actually covered the whole entire forest, I would have burnt alot calories, just like Varsha! She literally ran the whole forest, wonderwoman she was! I only managed to cover 3 quarters of the whole thing, still left the other quarter of the entire thing! Promise will cover everything the next time I take people there! haha, this place is honestly a good way to exercise! There's just endless stairs and walks!!!!

I took pictures from all directions, angles and places up at the mountains! Be it single, group or just scenic pictures! Yes, it was that beautiful haha, but honestly, it was worth it la! Going all the way up there (2hours drive), might as well see as much as you can, and i also enjoyed the rides! although it's quite expensive, but once a while okay laa! Plan to go for all 3 rides the next time i go there, take the skywalk, take the steepest ride down, explore the forest and stuff down there and come up with the cable car! But I prefer to walk down as there's so much to see and pictures to take! I also dont mind walking all the way down and come up with the steepest ride, but according to people, going down is always better than coming up coz its meant to be a steep ride, so going down is more fun!

We also got to see the 3 sisters, and honestly, it's nothing special! haha, its not even interesting, so no pictures of it...its just 3 rocks of the sisters la basically...below is a picture of Lucas & me (who isnt my bf btw) with 2 of the rocks behind, which is part of the 3 sisters lol...thats the only nice shot i got of the 3 sisters, and yes, its not even the full view haha :P Other highlights of the trip includes, not only the view from the rides, but also the company spent with friends and having to walk all the way down and experience all these really freaking STEEP steps! you guys really need to walk it and then you will definately agree with me! Plus, apart from the slippery parts especially under the rocks and stuff, if we are not careful, its easy to slide!

While walking down, another highlight of the trip is The Face! Below is a picture of me with The Face in the background, if you can see the picture carefully, you will see that the rocks form a face, which is really unique! You definately wont miss this architecture while walking down the mountains...It's that huge and easy to spot if you look closely and carefully! :) I also happen to have a picture of one of the STEEP steps I walked on...that's just moderate if you ask me, but luckily the really STEEP ones arent that long, its just like a mini STEEP steps we had to walk down and then we just continued walking on more rocks! haha XD

Haha, how can I forget to mention another highlight of our trip was the so called steepest ride (refering to the picture of us sitting on the ride)! We were all really fascinated with it, the fact that most of us did not take that ride down / up, we took the cable car back up instead, but some of them took this ride and said it was really fun! Nvm there's always a next time :) We found it really cool to impersonate how our reactions would be when we were actually riding it haha!! Good times good times :)

The pic below (Waterfalls) had a really slippery ground to step on which was quite a trouble taking pictures! We were all trying so hard to stand still and take a picture, without slipping! Boy, it was quite hard, as we were also trying to avoid from getting our shoes wet and stuff, but at some points where most of us could take picture, we quickly did! Quite happy we managed to take some nice shots too, and I quite like this spot! With the nice weather, and the gushing sound of water, mhmm! :) I reckon, the best time to visit the mountains is only when it is sunny during winter!! Or else you can expect to freeze up there! There was also cold breeze and wind when I was up there, as it was still winter! XP

We kinda spent our whole day there, so a note to all: Not a good time to visit when you have exams or assignments due around the corner! You really have to spend a whole day seeing everything, as once you go up there, its no point coming back so early...Besides, we already spend 2 hours getting there be it by car or public transport, so that explains your whole day! All in all, it was a well day spent, and would definately love to go there again! Totally dont mind the workout haha! XD

THANKS TO MSO FOR ORGANIZING THIS TRIP! :D

the suicide spot

Hmm, why the suicide spot?? There's this place called the Gap in Watsons Bay which my friends and I did not manage to see and take pics!!! I knowww, go all the way there, yes its really far i tell u, and we came back without seeing the Gap!! Usually people go there to not only see that place but also to eat Fish & Chips...they have the famous Doyle's shop, one of the best fish & chips in Sydney (apart from the Fish market!) which I think is quite true...after eating there, and eating elsewhere, still cant beat that place...

We were blessed with awesome weather, and it definately was a place to take lots of pics! :) Met more taylorians, and boy, I really din not expect that many Taylorians, SAM peeps to come Sydney to study! So glad to have these guys around! :D

Michelle & Ming Xiu, one from T1 and the other from S7, haha all doing commerce now! oh well, the most common course ever :P Its crazy how we managed to eat gelato! The weather was so windy, and sunny...but it was quite chilly too...especially eating ice cream! but gelato is always the best isnt it? :P felt so fat after eating it LOL

We did so much walking and picture taking the entire day! Arrive there with the rest of the malaysians on bus, but a few of us decided to take the ferry home since we wanted to see the harbour bridge and enjoy the breeze! wooo, trust me, it was really freezing when we were on it! As you can see from the pics, our hair was really blowing thru our face! hahaha but it was really fun :D

I also cried on the way back, thanks to the wind! haha, that was how strong the wind was, until I teared! but this place is definately a place to just chill out with friends and eat fish & chips really! haha, oh yes! there's a nude beach thereeee! Did i mention how I saw naked people on the beach sunbathing? omg it was seriously so wrong seeing those people unclothed, just standing there and enjoying the sun! wooow, in my entire life, this was the 1st time ive seen people unclothed! LOL nothing interesting okayyy =.=

Another highlight was how crystal blue the water was! It was soo BLUE i really felt like jumping in for a swim! what crystal clear water they had! and also the sand was so soft! argh....speaking bout sand and water, i must hit the beaches in summerr! since im here for summer classes, make use of it :D cant wait for summer! although its gonna be burning my skin but im still looking forward to it! Apart from that, from the pics, you guys can see how nice the view is from certain places while up there!

Left there just in time to catch the sunset! Beautiful sight really, and thats how I got my picture on the top of my blog! haha just love the colour of the sky and the effects of the picture! :) photography is definately an art, and i just really love taking pictures like that, and speaking bout that, maybe wen i have enuf money, i shall invest in a dslr! *dreamss*

off tea, coffee and chocolate

AROMA FESTIVAL 2009

What is this all about?? u guys must be thinking, what on earth is this aroma festival?? Well, its a festival for coffee, tea, and chocalate lovers!! omgg, its so sinful...haha, if you know what i mean, looking from the pics below...nothing much to blog bout this event, all i can say is, it was worth going, but only if more friends were around to follow me :( cant believe i ended up going there by myself...but I definately had alot sinful chocalates to eat! not too mention, how much i spent just on food that day =/

my first choc dish haha :P

this was the best fondue they had, cheap and good! :D

the crowdd...it was really packed!

a cupcake...was so rich of chocalate! =/

yes, they had camel rides, just for kids though haha :)

more stalls and crowd

a mona lisa picture done with cups of coffee and tea!

All in all, it was a fun filled day, trying different types of chocolate...also, got to by some tea for my dad, and of course some chocalates for my bro, had to deliver them all back home, cost me 25aud, but it was all worth it :)

the N to the C to the G 2009

What an experience....I have been wondering.....would I be able to see people I know in NCG?? The fact that Malaysians from other states of Aussie were coming here to play, so it would be nice to see people! haha...little did I know, I had 2 surprises! :P One from Shin Yau, gosh...that was a total coincidence...I did not even know he was in Canberra to begin with...and apparently he has been playing badminton for NCG last year and stuff...this time around, he came to support his friends in badminton...was really nice to catch up with him...and of course, Ms Chua from Canberra...and she had all her friends too...was quite a bunch, and I really had a great time being their tour guide :D

It was fun helping out, as we also get a free t-shirt :P but how i wished i could have gone for both the days and watched NSW play all the sports and imerge as champions!! sucks...I fell really sick! Thank god I was able to help out on the 1st day, and I had already committed to help, so there was no chance in pulling out...plus, i also had a job interview that day! so imagine how hectic it was...i was already feeling so tired and a little dizzy, but thank god for helping me survive! couldnt have done it without his grace :) I was glad to last the interview, it did go well! but till today, ive still not got any calls from them yet :(

So yes, because I was sick, I had to go home immediately after class and get enuf rest (it wasnt h1n1 thank god!)...I couldnt even get to see Dinesh properly before he flew off on the 10th! :( it really sucks big time especially wen ure sick...and at that period of time, where H1n1 was pretty serious, it was really important for me to stay home and stay away from people in order to recover fast and not pass the flu to my friends!!!! so frustrating!! but anyway, all that aside, Im still happy I was able to take Ms Chua and her friends around Sydney inspite of being sick...thank god I only had fever once, and then I continued to take medicine, thanks to my asthma! Yeah! still haven grown out of it yet =X

It was great to catch up with her after so long, the fact the last I saw her was at Taylors Prom! I KNOWWW! tell me bout it =/ but finally, only coz she spent her winter holidays here haha, unlike all the other malaysians *tsktsk* couldnt really join them for dinner, as I had Dance Tour Concert that nite, yes i had to go despite I was sick...but i felt much better at their concert obviously :P dont regret a single bit going for it :D The rest of their holiday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday was spent taking Ms Chua & friends around Sydney :) From the awesome Dim Sum place at capitol square, to circular quay & the rocks and to dinner at Korean BBQ House, and then followed by Bondi shopping spree the next day with dinner at some place...cant remember where already...so yeah that was it...was great meeting all her friends, and cant wait to go to canberra to visit them...hopefully in my spring break! :)

lay boon, cherrie, ms chua :)

gosh, we ate SO MUCH! but only 19bucks per head :P

haha, very satisfied people as they r deprived of Dim Sum in canberra!

THE MATT MAHER EXPERIENCE 2009

Wooooohoooooo!

WHAT AN AWESOME SATURDAY NIGHT! :D

All my favourite songs from Matt Maher was played...well not all,

wished had more though :(

From what I can remember, Your Grace is Enuf was definately a song not to be missed! haha, as it in heaven...and some other new songs from their album,

Empty & Beautiful.

After listening to all those songs, i really loved every single one of them played that nite! And guess who i met?? Christine & the girls, from WYD! OMG it was such a joy to see them! and Amy bought me their CD!! she's such a darling isnt it??

I missed them so much...and was really good to see them again!!

All in all, it was an awesome fantastic night! Cant really describe it in words if you werent there to experience it...Whats even better is that the 4 of them came out just to sign our cd's and take pics with us before we left...so nice of them!! everyone went home with a picture! so cool :D

teeheee :D

25.6.2009 - Black cruise party, supper & karaoke night
Gosh, what a long night I had, and mind you, the next day I had class at 9am! Not fun!! It was my first cruise party, and Ive not been on a cruise before...yess jakun night :P Decided to go with NingJia as both of us were the only ones I knew going from Kingsford area at least...walked all the way to Shwuch's place from Railway Square in my heels!! *killing* and then took a bus to King St Wharf from Broadway, got to rest my feet for a little while...and walked again, then met Li Ying, Nick & Venrou...got our wrist bands, and got checked just before goin in the cruise...lucky thing, that lady let me in, she believed I was 18 la...plus i had prove of my date of birth on my student card, so no cheating :P

I dont look 18 that's the point, so ill always have to be checked pffttt....I was dying of hunger, so went in immediately to get some pizza's to eat! it was alright, nothing great...and we headed upstairs to take some nice pics of the view on the cruise...yay! when the cruise started moving, it really felt so good...and I couldnt believe I was on a cruise dancing...that's crazy!! There were at some points where I felt really sea sick but the cruise wasnt going too fast so it was all good...We munched, drank, danced and took pics all night long! Finally, we arrived Star City, the whole cruise was so short =/ told u it wasnt that great, disappointed boohoo! Din even hav the mood to go for the afterparty that night, and we were so hungry...hardly ate on the cruise...as usual, we couldnt decide where to eat for supper, and we only could eat at those shops that were open that late...thank god for seoul ria tat was open till midnite or so, and boy...we really had good korean food!! after we were all famished, we asked the waiter's on duty to give us a karaoke place that would b open pass midnite! haha that was funny...but we ended up goin to this really cheap place for such a worth it 2hours...all in all, the night ended with a BANG!

Although my feet was totally sore from all the walking at fast speed, but it was all worth it! Thanks for the night guys! All zonked out by the time we reached home, and i had to attend class the nex morning, barely had enuf sleep...zombie eyes the next day! LOL

attempted to take a random pic with as many peeps i could get haha :)

Happy Birthday Andrew! :D

26.6.2009 - Transformers movie with the MSO gang (IMAX)

A brief movie review :-

My first IMAX movie! BAM! It was AWESOME :D IMAX screen's here are so fantasticly amazing, not like I went for the IMAX one in Times Square, so what am I comparing for?? But my point is, the fact that I got to watch it in IMAX for just 15aud, when the usual student price here in Sydney normal screen is 13.50 is so freaking worth it!!! Yess, a normal student ticket here is 13.50! tell me bout it =X that's y im a cinebuzz member, and get to watch some movies at 9 or 10aud sometimes...still, nothing beats watching movies in msia for 7ringgit!!! but then again, the screens here are wayy bigger than msia's so I aint complaining :P hahaha, seriously...the movie was just OUT OF THIS WORLD! :D Coming from a non-transformers fan, crazy no?? but the action part was just so COOL! loved it loved it loved it (haha, too much jason from SYTYCD aussie) :P The whole screen was like from top to bottom, and the whole cinema, I could hear sound effects from all parts of the theatre, which was wat made it so awesome! plus the graphics...the movie practically din really have a storyline, so there's not much to say bout the movie!

Grade : A++

27.6.2009 - MASA Committee Dinner

A pot luck! They all can really cook so well! Catherine needs to learn how to cook from these people, like seriously!! I cant cook for nuts =/ It was a good catchup session with everyone, but there was still people who couldnt make it, especially Sylvia and Jas who are always MIA from our events *tsktsk*

Anyways, it was a good dinner, with good food and good company!

courtesy of shwuch

haha, found this interesting :)

cooked by edi and that duck was brought by ning-jia

i miss her cupcakes!! cant wait for o-day :P

apparently, that was our "dessert" from junde

they make me feel at home :)

trying for the first time

yummy cookies, again courtesy of shwuch

there's more to life than sadness

I dislike farewell's :(

especially when it comes to the part of having to say goodbye to someone whom youve just met not that many months ago...

thanks to Keat Boon and Yu Ling for planning this dinner...and sorry again for inviting NJ!!! how on earth would I know stuff bout MSO right??? oh well, matters aside and all is forgiven :) I told them to make this a surprise since I always liked surprises :P So the plan was to only let Dinesh know it was a dinner wit just Yu Ling & me (having both of us to himselves) haha :P Believe me, it wasnt easy at first...the fact I had to ask Dinesh what he wanted to eat, or what he usually eats, or what does he like...haha I really had to do it in order to make it not obvious...

but Yu Ling obviously knows him better than I do, at least...so I got her to ask him, and he eventually decided on a place called Im Angus at Darling Harbour...yay!! She's awesome no? :D So it was set! She managed to get him to choose a place, and we only told him it was just gonna be dinner with both of us! Everyone had to arrive there earlier than us in order to surprise him, so Boon managed to settle that! :) I was already in the city that day since I finished class late, and decided to meet both of them at QVB near market st. They were late due to unforseen circumstances, but nevertheless still made it in one piece! Felt bad for making the others wait so long, but plan succesful in the end :D

Reached there and everyone was like "SURPRISE" hahaha! Dinesh's reaction was priceless....he totally din expect to see everyone there, plus he tot he would be having both of us to himselves for dinner :P thats funny....and speaking bout that, kinda miss his crazyness :(

all of us :)

and the other table :)

omg that cost me 32aud!!! ><

TJ & mei mei

Ling, Dinesh, Keong

some of them had dessert here

Just wanna thank everyone who came that night! Im sure Dinesh was very happy and we will all definately miss him :)

Thanks for all the wonderful times I had with you together here in Sydney, and trust me, I wish I got to know you longer! It will never be the same again, not having you as a housemate...honestly, I really do miss going down, knocking at your door or calling you out just to have dinner at random places in Kingsford. Those were good times & memories! Not forgetting taking good care of me when we were clubbing together :)

It's not goodbye yet for me, as I am gonna see you again next year! You will come back because of us and Sydney, haha ;)

~

Take care homie <3

where i belong

long post ahead :)

I arrived Brisbane Airport safe and sound at 10.30pm Thursday night due to a good delay of 35mins! omg, 8.30 i was suppose to fly off but oni flew at 9 and by the time aunty and uncle picked me up from the airport was close to 11pm! was so tired and restless, jet lag from flights as usual =/ The moment we reached my aunt's place, i dropped dead on the bed...haha it was so warm and nice...had too much sleep, and was so tired the next day :P

Day 1
Slept in and chilled out at home, waited for aunty to come back from work and then she took me on the buggy on a small tour around the golf course...haha tat was really fun...the cold wind blowing against my face...and it was quite cold so mhhmmm :) and then, she tot me how to cook minced meat haha...watched and helped around, so tat i could cook at home with pasta :D then at night, went over to my cousin's place, she has moved into her own place now, with Sarah! Rakes made lasagna for us and had dessert as well...good stuff, and was obviously eating so much :( met her bf too, and he's such a sweetie :) later that night, waited for Sarah to get back and boy, it was really good to see her! I totally couldnt recognize her at first, plus she dyed her hair black now so it was like wow was that the Sarah i met back then? hahaha! also got to meet her bf, although i still prefer Rakes' but that's none of my business, theyre all old enuf to have bf's anyway :P

that's brookwater golf course

such a nice golf course

wallabies, arent they cute :)

some ducks too

Day 2
Slept at Rakes place the night before, since it was easier to get around and my aunt's place is bout a good 40mins drive from home so it was way easier if i stayed there, plus I was going to see the Gold Coast today so yipppeee :D I heard that Rakes crashed her car, not badly but tat meant she couldnt drive far with it, and I tot our plan to the Coast would have been cancelled, but thanks to her friend, Jasmine who managed to drive us there, took her time off on a Saturday just for Rakes and me! We left early in d morning, as it took bout an hour to drive from Rakes place...and on the way to Surfers Paradise, we managed to see Dreamworld, Movieworld & Wet & Wild themeparks!! I only managed to see the rides...and how its like, unfortunately I din get to go in, but imma organising a trip wit my friends soon and we're gonna have fun especially in Wet & Wild omg seeing those rides made me crazy i tell u! Surfers is soo beautiful! I love the beachhhh :D its so bloody loongg, cant belif we walked that far from where Jas parked her car to the Q1 building! God blessed my trip with good weather thruout the 7days so it was a beautiful hot sunny day, and the beach was just lovely! :D Suppose to go up the Q1 building but it was so pricey, so din bother...Jas went to get breakfast and den we walked around, i bought a surfers t-shirt for 10bucks :D

And then we headed to harbourtown on the way back! What a shopping adventure I had! It's a place full of shops, similar to DFO but with more shops to look at and not everything is as cheap as in DFO! but still, managed to buy some clothes there for less than 50bucks!!! Rakes treated us lunch and that steak sandwich was super yummy! Yet again, I ate so much that day! On the way back, Jasmine took a route which had to pay toll and so thats how i got to see toll gates in aussie for the first time!! and look how much it is?? *cut throat price* Uncle picked us up from Jasmine's place and I met aunty vasanthi and her husband who were down for the long weekend. Apparently they stay in sydney too and i never knew that! LOL At night, aunty cooked lamb lasagne! so imagine how much I had to eat that day...plus dessert as well?? Some apple crumble with ice-cream and custard omgggg *fats weh* :(

Day 3
Was suppose to play taboo the night before but we were all so tired and since Sunday was gonna b a long day, everyone went to bed early...The day started off with church in the morning, i miss that priest in that church btw :( prefer it to st michael's at daceyville lol...got back and we headed to southbank...what a nice park...i would call it a park since there's not much to see and there's also a man made beach which is very popular...boy, that place was really packed with people!! And lucky we were there on a weekend, as the markets are only on weekends...totally reminds me of pasar malam back home :) walked around, got to see alot things and had lunch at the food court there. Met Rakes and Juno in southbank and they had lunch together with us. We were also entertained with this young guy from adelaide who was doin some stunts and earning some extra cash haha, he really earned so much that day! everyone gave at least 5bucks and more! but he deserved it, i cant imagine someone doin that without practice :P

We had nice hot sun that day as well, so that explains why im always with my sunnies! told u God blessed my trip :D and its just so lovely, especially in the city, I can walk without a jacket! its that warm!!! and people are still wearing sunniess! Back in sydney, u see everyone with an umbrella, almost every other day...sucks isnt it? LOL its been raining much shesshh!! Chilled out at southbank for a bit before heading back, and on the way back made a stop at Mt Cootha...boy wasnt it an expensive trip? Uncle had a speeding fine!! Scenic drives are 50 but we exceeded =X oh well, we surely wont forget that now wouldnt we? :P The view from up there was wayy beautiful! Omg, i could practically see the whole of brisbane, and we had nice weather, so imagine how awesome it was up there!

Headed back and had dinner at a malaysian chinese restaurant, gosh, that was so good! we all ordered one dish, and there wasnt any vege's dishess! there was prawns, fish, chicken, rendang and all but no vege! LOL see how much ive been deprived of vege lately?? i need to eat more vege! need to learn how to make mixed vege so i can have that even if its just plain, if u guys noe me well, u noe how much vege means to me lol...

Day 4
It was a public holiday, means everyone was at home and not working haha...again we were suppose to play taboo the night before but we had a late night, and long day so we postponed it yet again haha...monday was a pretty relaxed day...Rakes had plans so I followed aunty and uncle to have a tour round Ipswich...we went shopping at Orion Shopping Centre first before uncle took us on the tour...it was a short tour off Ipswich...we got to see all the dam's and it was another hot sunny day, so took more pics...very scenic and beautiful...batteries died on me, so had to rely on aunty vasanthi's DSLR which she hasnt send me the pics yet. Must have forgotten about me :( all the lovely pics are in her camera, see if i can get it off her soon!! We had a late lunch, and wen everyone was very relaxed, we finally managed to play taboo! haha, it was really funny....I can never forget those two jokers! reminds me of John & Vivien in RosaMystica prayers every sunday haha!! That was a good round of taboo and then, we just chilled at home before leaving for Rakes place at night. They wanted to see Rakes place and I was to sleep there that night again since i wanted to catch up with Sarah before I left. It was a good night :)

Day 5
Met up with Roxanne!! Omg I missed this girl! I only remember goin bowling wit her at pyramid once and then we were suppose to meet before i left but just din hav time...so there was no chance...and finally I came to brisbane so got to meet up! :D Took the bus with Rakes in the morning, and met Roxy at UQ campus. QUT is prettier la, i love their campus man!! Even their swimming pool is so nice, indoor summore...i wonder if UTS has a swimming pool?? i miss swimming :( We catched the citycat, and then watched a movie at Southbank....one thing bout brisbane transport, all public transport are under the same company...so its easier for us to buy concession eventho we're not valid for the train coz of some stupit train logo...and another thing is, wen we buy concession, say a single ticket, it will last up to 2 hours so we can use any form of public transport within that 2hours to get from one place to another...soo cheap and convenient!!I still cant belif within that 3 days i was in brisbane, and I spent money, all in total I spent 150bucks!!! Omg, that includes transport, food, drinks and clothes! Unbelievable man!!!

Ate at this really nice place in Queen Street Mall food court, hanaichi! omg, the crowd from that place was just crazy that day! and apparently, its like that everyday!!! imagine how much money they make in a day...coz their food is so cheap and nice, i can understand the queue, and plus, other than that place, there's no other solid place available, ie there's subway, oporto's, mcd's and all that sorta fast finger foods, not many people will eat...so that's y hanaichi was packed...Roxy had this boost voucher, where u can buy two for 6 bucks so we both had one boost juice for 3bucks...thats quite cheap, considering the usual price for one is like 5 or 6bucks :P

That was my first time having boost! hahaha, and so, I simply picked a smoothie without even knowing if its nice or not, but little did i know, it was so yummy!! Energy life smoothie!! weee, next time I know what to buy edi :P i hav boost voucher's so im gonna use that to try other smoothies la, but at least i know energy lift is really nice :D Before lunch, managed to watch I Love You, Man...haha, what a silly show :P but hey, it was 6.50 for a movie, aint complaining okay! U cant get that price for a movie here in sydney...the most is 8 or 9bucks =X We hanged around in the city, and I made her shop...glad she bought clothes la, headed back to her place in St Lucia's and waited for aunty to fetch me from there...reached home, had shower, dinner and just chilled out...

Day 6
Met up with Nellyn from assunta!!! haha, wasnt it good to see her!! The fact that we hardly talk in school, and now that she's in brisbane, and once an assuntarian, always an assuntarian right? soo of course I took the chance to meet up with her, plus there wasnt anyone free on that day to take me around so thank god for her :D Im glad she took me to DFO!! Seriously, I dont regret a single bit going there!!! Its so bloody cheappp, some shops in DFO Sydney arent here in DFO Brisbane, and stuff which is in Sydney and are available here as well are wayy cheaper thereee!!!! Like skechers for example, I got a shoe for 20bucks!!!!!!!!! Arghhhh, still cant get over that hahaa! That day wateva I spent was so cheap man....also bought a covered shoe, somewhat like ballet shoes for 10bucks, i was such a happy girl that day, well both of us were :D

Then after shopping there, we headed to this malaysian chinese restaurant nearby...Its called Oriental Restaurant, and im telling u, i will never forget this place! for the discount we got coz Nellyn knows them well and for their cheap and delicious food, I definately wanna go eat there again wen i go brisbane next!!!! So worth it :D Their food is really malaysian style...and looking at the singapore fried meehoon i had, makes me wanna cook it myself now, its good to experiment with food anyway :P and it looks really simple so why not? ;) my mum said by the time i get home, ill be a good cook! hahaha lets see how true is that? XP the karipap that Joshua recommended was so good, and he gave that for free...plus, the drinks, he said he was experimenting fresh juices so he wanted us to try...hahaha, it was our lucky day la! I had fresh orange, Nellyn had orange mixed with green apple....he was so happy we really liked it, and gave him the suggestion of putting it in the menu :)

What a feast we both had seeing from the pics dont u think? gosh, we were so full after coming out from that place....nellyn wanted me to try this really nice ice-cream shop in southbank, after that feast, how on earth was i ever gonna fit ice-cream??? but nevertheless, by the time we reached there, it wasnt that bad haha....so all the way from jindalee we took the train back, walked there for ice-cream, all the waiting and travelling on the train was really crazyy, did all that just for an ice-cream!!! haha, but it was worth it, cold rock is really good :D must have been all the travelling and running that made us digest fast eh?? u must be thinking wats wrong with us eating ice-cream at that time of the day, it was almost dark, 5pm plus and it was coldddd! not freezing but eating the ice-cream made me even colder of course LOL but cold rock cant be found in sydney...and yess there's alot more shops in brisbane which cant be found in sydney, which is sad if u ask me...lets say if i hav a sudden craving from that shop, i cant eat it till i go brisbane next...sighs...diff cities, but sydney is more busy and happening, why dont they hav wat brisbane hass??? sighsss

I made my uncle wait for so long at the train station and i really felt bad...but my aunty was so cool...she just tot i was gonna come back early...lol well thanks to that silly ice-cream and the waiting for transport and stuff held us back if not we would hav got back sooner :( oh well...reached home, had dinner again and then had shower...omgg! SEE HOW MUCH I ATE THRUOUT MY TRIP??? no surprise i put on 3kg's wen i got back to sydney okayyyy!

The last and final day in brisbane was spent chilling out at home and just relaxing...was watching tv the whole day and waited for uncle to get back from golf, and also aunty from work before they took me to the airport...and guess what? wen I reached the airport, found out my flight at 6pm was cancelled!!!!! LIKE WTH????? i had to be moved to a later flight, which was at 8pm and it was such a shame that i had to sit and rot there for 2and a half freaking hourssss!!!! goshhhh....coming here from sydney wasnt so bad, coz it was due to fog that all the flights from sydney were delayed...but going back, they said there was something wrong wit the plane, so thats y they had to cancel tat flight!!! Oni God knows how true that was ><

That's how my trip ended! haha, a picture of a cup of hot choc and a banana muffin for my dinner...to kill time while waiting for my flight =/ reached Sydney Airport, called Vijay and the moment I got out of the car, it was bloody freezing!!!!

Am totally missing the warm and hot weather up in brisbane :(

But its still beareable here, its not that freezing yet, only at night, which really sucks lol

Overall, it was a great 1 week away from Sydney. I got to see Brisbane, catch up with my cousin and meet up wit my friends! Melbourne would be another trip to cover and meet up with almost everyone from msia there haha, cant wait! ;)
