Sad Goodbye

I was back in Melbourne last week, was suppose to stay till the 27th, but I had to rush back to attend a funeral. One that came as a shock when I heard the news from my Dad. We were out in the city when I got his call, suddenly everything was a blur and tears just started flowing uncontrollably.

The person is my Dad's brother, and my first uncle. I have not seen him in 3 years, and the last time I'll see him is when he's lying peacefully in his coffin. The memory I have of him is this loud and cheerful man, that always tries to please everyone. He was so different from my memory when I saw him at the funeral, but he still looked peaceful.

We're going to send him off later in the afternoon, its going to be a very sad situation. I hope we don't cry, cos that's not what he wants. We should all be cheerful and optimistic about the future, just like how he lived his life.

Goodbye Uncle Stanley.

Back in SG

I've been back for 3 weeks, and I feel exhausted. Been working like a dog and now my body is telling me I'm tired.

Woke up with a sore throat today, now I'm feeling feverish. And I still need to work tomorrow.

I'm flying off back to Melbourne on Wednesday, maybe I'm feeling a little under the weather but I don't feel as excited. I only want to see him and spend time with him, cos I don't know when will be the next time I get to see him.

Tired. I'm just tired.

If you're wondering what I do. I work on a goat farm. I wake up at 7am, start work at 8am and finish at 6pm. I work EVERYDAY, 7 days a week. I'm only doing this for 3 weeks, imagine doing it your whole life. My dad has been doing just that.

I stayed home to study this time round, and I manage to watch like 4 HK drama series. Like the whole complete thing. One of it was even 40 episodes long. HAHA!

Went shopping today immediately after lunch, and the first time I used my new Chanel bag. HAPPY! Tomorrow we are going to the beach!!!! Long time since I've been to the beach. It's gonna be cam whoring day tmr. OMG! Too bad KC has to leave early, he can't stay to play water with us.

I want to COMPLAIN!

Hi. I'm here to complain again. I think I've complain about this friend of mine before, she's this Indian lady from my course. She's like this middle-aged married woman with a screaming kid.

Anyways, she called me yesterday, again with that screaming kid just next to phone and I could barely make out what the hell she was trying to say. She was already very confused plus the screams from the kid. OMG. My ears alomst bled. I swear.

I haven't even got to the thing I want to complain about and there are so many other things to complain about the complain. GOSH. I don't know what her real motive is for calling me, but she was like trying to confuse me, and she could even ask me if I was confused by what she was saying. PLUS, she sounded all so freaky and scared, as if to scare me. PLUS, she told me she had to look at BLaw cos there was SO MUCH to go through, then she asked if I started to look at it. But I just replied her a flat out NO, and that I only JUST STARTED looking at stats so I couldn't help her with her question.

Seriously, why should I even help her. She had FULL MARKS for her stats test and she got like the highest for accounting test, PLUS she had like one of the best marks for her BLaw assignment. I still remember during the accounting test, she was like trying to freak out everyone before going in to the test hall.

I'm so sorry, but people like you don't need my help. I'd rather help others than you.

You suck!

Finally found some time to upload these pictures. Been wanting to do this since last week, now that I don't have to mood or energy to study, I'll do this then go to bed.

Back in Melbourne

I'm back in Melb and its gonna be exams in 2 weeks. Its quite hard to get back into "the zone" after being away for 2 weeks. But I've made an effort today, I did accounting today for almost 5hrs straight. Quite an achievement huh for a first day of revision. Now "cash flow statements" became my new best friend. Tomorrow, QM, hypothesis testing. BORING. But I'll do it, its only 2 weeks, I'm tuffer than that, I hope.

Well, I have KY and Hal to thank for today, cos of them I could stay in my room to study. Cos I felt quite shy to sit with them to watch tv. They were huggy and inseparable, so I better give them lovebirds their own space. I only came down to chill for awhile before cooking dinner. Ate, watched iron man, and showered immediately after the show was over.

Well, KC is in school and god knows what time he'll be home. Its a good thing he's handing in his thesis on monday. FINALLY. I hope he doesn't disappoint me next week. I've been tolerating for the whole year, and I think I've been really nice, only gg crazy once in awhile.

We'll see how things go...who knows what might happen.

Back home but still missing home.

I;m back in SG but I miss my Melbourne home, and my 2 house mates, and the weather, and the couch, and my bed. But it's nice to be back, nice to see my family, and my dogs, and my cats, and my goats. HAHA!

It's been 6 days since I came back, I started working today. Woke up at 5.30am to feed the baby goats with dad, then had breakfast, then milked the goats, then had a vegetarian lunch, then processed the milk till 6.30pm, then drove mum to the supermarket to stock up, got back home at 9pm, hopped on the treadmill for 10 mins, and I'm blogging now. Just to cool down before I take a shower. You must be wondering why I had to wake up so early. That's because ALL my malay workers went back to M'sia for Hari Raya yesterday, so I had to "start work" today.

I really want to upload some pics but I don't have my memory stick reader with me, so I can't transfer the pics over. Pics from the dinner to celebrate dad's birthday, and my doggies, and rachel in her "car".

Gonna be real busy this week, I don't have time to go out anymore. But I really need to get some stuff from the city, maybe tmr would be a good day.

Oh my hair is violet in colour. Its some sort of new "dyeing" technique cos they don't have that smelly ammonia in the mixture, and the colour will fade away to reveal your natural hair colour instead of change colour. So yea I look quite wierd.

I'm tired, gonna shower and sleep.

All the best to your future.

This is for Melody and Bren. Thanks to you Mel, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known a good friend like Bren, and thanks to you again, that we won't have a very lasting friendship.

Bren, if you read this, all the best in what ever you do in the future. I hope you understand where I'm coming from too. This is only the beginning of a very long and hard journey for you. I chose not to be by her side anymore, I guess I'm not strong enough to put up with it anymore. What ever it is, I'm only an insignificant part of your lives.

All the best.

Hotpot Night!

Finally done with the dreaded accounting test, and we rewarded ourselves with hotpot!! Lili brought us to this place at Boxhill for hotpot. The food was not too bad, but I thought it was a little expensive. $23 per person, but there was lots of other food that we didn't get to eat cos we were too full to order any more. HAHA!





We ate ALOT! Like a huge load of food. There's this little trolley next to the table, it had 3 layers and it was filled with plates of food, and we finished all of it. AMAZING! I thought we wouldn't be able to finish, but amazingly AJ and Lili could eat quite alot too. HAHA! Eating queens! SO FUN having a girls' night out. We should do this more often!

Anyways, everyone is going to the Royal Melbourne Show without me! SADNESS. That's cos I'm gonna be in SG. ARGH! I've been wanting to go for the last couple of years, and when finally I have kakis to go with, I'm not here! WTH!!! Oh well, see how ler~~~

Tomorrow, marketing at Richmond!!! Going to get some good food! Fish maw, sea cucumber, fish, meat, and groceries!! GAWD I sound like some housewife, but Richmond has so much stuff!!! Should I bring a trolley???

See how ler~~~~~~

Almost done

I'm left with one more assignment and one more test, then comes preparation for exams. But first SG! I really can't wait to go shopping, I'm in a HUGE need for new clothes. I've been wearing the same clothes over and over, I really don't know what to wear anymore. Time for some spring/summer clothes. Hopefully I can get some from vivo city. I've made up my mind to go there on Friday after my haircut.

The funniest thing about coming back this time is that everyone is asking me if KC is coming along. I find it really wierd cos it's only a short mid-term break, too short a period for him to come back with me. Don't worry folks you'll get to see him one day. HAHAHA!!

He's coming back soon, better warm up his dinner.

~~~LATERS~~~

He just texted, he missed the bus. Gotta wait 20 mins for the next one. Poor him. He's really busy, he has to finish an assignment like this week and he's still fine-tuning his research results for his thesis, which he has yet to finish writing by the first week of Oct. But the good thing is he has only one exam, so that's quite a relief. I'm starting to worry about BLaw exam, I think I need to do a lot of reading when I'm back in SG, if not I won't have enough time to read.

KY so cute, she say she will miss me when i'm away. Yea i'll miss them too. They've become like family, quite nice to have a sister. I never had a sister, and always wanted one cos my brother always bullied me, and he still does till this very day. Quite fun, like can gossip together and go shopping together, and watch drama that KC don't watch. haha.

I took this photo a few days ago, I found it quite "sweet".

[caption id="attachment_116" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Backing me up"]Backing me up[/caption]

Kc's always there to back me up, and give me encouragement when I need it. Just like this picture. (The shoes were there, I didn't arrange them to look like this.)

Another Sunday...

I've been wanting to blog for the whole week but I really couldn't find the time. I've been busy with my business law assignment, which took me 3 long weeks to finish. I finally got it done yesterday so I could clean the house today.

I'm starting to feel a little unappreciated around the house. It's like I cook, I clean, I do the laundry, and yet I've never heard a sincere thank you before. I try to cook nice food, but yet I think that it doesn't suit their tastebuds. I really don't know what I can do better. I'm really giving it all my energy, I too have assignments and tests, but I still do it cos I don't want them to get bothered with the chores. Besides, if they don't do it to my liking I have to end up doing it myself. That's why i save the hassle to ask for help and do it myself. Maybe going back to SG for awhile will make them appreciate me more, cos I'm starting to feel like "Maria".

I have a week or so to do another 2 assignments before flying back. Although it's not due till after the break, but I want to finish it before I leave so I can relax in SG and not think about work for awhile. I really won't have much time in SG, cos the main purpose for going back is to work and celebrate dad's birthday. And I still need to do some much needed shopping. So yea it leaves me very little time for my friends. So yea, if I don't get to see some of you, my sincerest apologies.

I've been wanting to put up some food pics during the week, it's not a lot, just some.

We had fish 'n' chips for dinner last night, but it wasn't a very pretty picture, and it wasn't really fish 'n' chips. It was disgusting, unappetizing fried fish. :( But I still think its nice.

I suddenly can't wait to finish studying, I really want to have a career, I want to start my life out there. Although many of you will say that it's not fun and it sucks. But I still want to go out there into the wilderness, and see the world. I hope KC will be beside me to share this experience with me, just like how I want to be with him.

OK, I think that's enough, before I get all emo again.

Stressful Stephy = Sleepless nights

I've been so stressed about work lately, its taken a toll on my sleep. The only time that I can relax and unwind. But work had to creep into my thoughts when I'm lying on my pillow. I tell myself to think of other stuff, to RELAX and LET GO.

Last week was terrible, this week was slightly better, but I can feel it building up again. I can't wait to hand in my assignments and sit for my test. (I'm actually in the middle of my assignment right now.) I thought being a Masters student should be more relaxed, but now I think otherwise. ALL the other students are soooo hardworking. I had 29.5/30 for my stats test, which I thought I did very well, but there were so many others that had full marks. I was above the average for my econs test, but half my tutorial class had higher marks than me. SERIOUSLY. I think they need to CHILL. I can't keep up man, I'll go INSANE.

Come to think of it, I really pitied Einstien. He had so much to think of, I wondered how he got to bed at night. Well, all my work will get rewarded soon. Cos' I'm going back HOME!!! Yes babes, you read it correctly. I'll be back in SG for a few days at the end of September, 24th to the 5th to be exact. Dad needs help, and it's his birthday, so I think he'll be more than willing to pay for my air ticket, which I was so lucky to still get a seat on SQ. No more Qantas for me, all those infamous headlines got me thinking twice.

I should get back to my assignment, abuse my brain further.

Happy & Sad

The moment I saw Faith's pictures on Facebook, I just had to come in here to blog.

Babe I'm so happy for u. I can just imagine you smiling and screaming. It has finally come true. Your happy news really brightened up my dark gloomy day. Can't wait to know the intimate details.

Had quite a hectic week but alls good. Had dinner with KC and his honours friends on Friday, which was followed up with a session of KTV that made some very happy and satisfied. Had been feeling very emo and all bitchy the last week, but things finally cleared after having a heart-to-heart talk with KC.

Yea these are some of the happy moments. Come to the sad ones now. I fell out with an old friend of mine, it's sad but I don't seem as sad as I thought it would be. But after thinking of all those times when you thought you were doing me a favour, all those times where you promised me you will come clean. I'm tired of listening to your plans and ideals that don't last, and at the end of the day the whole world is at fault but yourself. You try to paint a happy picture but I've never seen you complete a single portrait. When you have completed your first master piece, will I then be truly happy for you. I wish you all the best, and may God keep you safe, happy and healthy.

I never wanted things to turn out like this, but a collection of events and the forces of human emotions make it such. Where ever I may have hurt you, my sincerest apologies.

BBB

BBB = Busy Bumble Bee

I really don't know why, but it seems that time passes REALLY fast here. It always feels like I don't have enough time. Last week was busy with assignment, this week its economics test and law assignment. Although the assignment is not due yet, but its a bloody long one and it's gonna take a long time to do.

Regarding the law assignment, I really must complain about this friend at uni. I really feel that she was being selfish and unkind. VERY BAD FRIEND. She called to ask if she was able to discuss the law assignment with me and I said OK, so she'll tell me over the weekend which day was good for her to meet up. I didn't get her sms so I texted her and said that I have a test this week and only can discuss with her after the test. GUESS WHAT? She replied saying that she has already discussed it with some other people and she doesn't need to discuss with me anymore. LIKE WTH? Come on lady, I was being nice and she can't be nice enough to share some info with me? I'm NEVER gonna be nice to her EVER.

All work, no play makes Stephy a grumpy girl. So KY and I found some time on Thursday to go KTV. Finally after such a long time, but it wasn't as fun cos there were only 2 of us and I was singing until I had no voice. Before that we met up with Faith. Yes, she was here. After such a long time. Even KC was asking about her. Had hot chocolate and Korean dinner. We had to send her back to the hotel before going KTV, cos' she might get lost.





KC and I were suppose to go out on Friday, but he was really tired so I was being the nice girlfriend that I am, and cooked dinner. So we stayed home that night.

The next day was Farah's graduation, so we spent the whole day out and had dinner with her friends and family. Didn't take much nice pictures, so gotta wait for Farah to upload.

End off with some random pictures of Stephy's home-cooked food. ;)

Extremist

This is so weird, just a couple of weeks back I was complaining that I was too bored and needed some excitement. Now I'm so busy with uni work. SUCKS! So hard to please myself. (laughing at myself)

I was busy catching up with lectures and going through tutorials and doing the accounting assignment that involves tedious work that is only worth 10% (BLEAH!). I also managed to catch up with my cousin, Weilin, the previous Friday. We had steak at this place my friend recommended near my house. It's called Hog's Breath Cafe, there is one apparently in SG, I think it's at Holland V if I'm not wrong. The cut of the meat is really not bad, thick and juicy. I forgot to take photos cos I was busy chatting with my cousin. Here's the website you can check out the pics in there. http://www.hogsbreath.com.au/index.html

Other than that, it's work Mondays thru Thursdays, then we go out on Fridays. Shopping usually. Been wanting to watch "Wanted" but KC says to wait for him. We also wanted to watch "Mama Mia", but the timings are always wrong. Not sure what we'll do this Friday.

Today something weird happened in the afternoon. This auntie called looking for me, but I didn't know her or never met her before. I was totally spooked at how she got my number and my name!! She turns out to be the owner of some asian cafe called Nonya Hut at Glen Waverley. She asked me to visit her if I had the time, she said her kueh kuehs are very good and they were apparently very popular. So i checked her cafe out on google and true enough they did seem very popular. Maybe KY and I will go check her cafe out this Friday. But then again, Melody wants to meet me to have a talk. I really dread talking to her. I really don't want to talk to her, cos I have nothing to say to her, and I'm tired of listening to all her excuses.

Oh well, see how ler...

Shoes Galore

There was another exciting thing that happened, that totally slipped my mind. How could that have been the case when it has burnt a hole in my pocket? I'm in denial. Here they are...

[caption id="attachment_76" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Stuart Weitzman"]Stuart Weitzman[/caption]

It's a good buy cos they were at half price, so the hole isn't that big, Maybe that's why I forgot about it. HA! I bought some pieces for mum too from Max Mara, really nice too. I bet she'll love it!

Exciting Food

Past few weeks have been real boring. Other than our anniversary and going for some spicy food. Nothing much happening here down under. Just study, study and more study. We met up with some friends we haven't met in awhile and we decided to have some spicy food. Cos its cold now so some spicy food does feel good, washed down with good old beer. Everything on the menu was spicy, there were only two dishes that were not spicy. Talk about HOT!

[caption id="attachment_63" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Pork Ears"]Spicy Pork Ears[/caption]

The green stuff is actually green chilli, it looks like there is more chilli than the main dish!

[caption id="attachment_64" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Chicken"]Spicy Chicken[/caption]

I bet u can't see the chicken. Cos they used chicken scraps! Bunch of cheaters! I bet they re-used the chilli as well. EWWWW....

[caption id="attachment_65" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Fish Soup"]Spicy Fish Soup[/caption]

It's not that spicy but it kinda numbs your tounge. I wonder why....

[caption id="attachment_66" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Prawns"]Spicy Prawns[/caption]

Not that spicy too, like Thai sweet chilli prawns.

[caption id="attachment_67" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Eggplant"]Spicy Eggplant[/caption]

This one is the same like the prawns, sweet n spicy.

[caption id="attachment_68" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Spicy Pork Ribs"]Spicy Pork Ribs[/caption]

This one is really peppery, it has this weird taste in the marinade.

Look at the chilli!! This one was really salty but shiok although the crab wasn't fresh.

[caption id="attachment_70" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="French beans with olive sauce"]French beans with olive sauce[/caption]

This was the only non-spicy dish, fried french beans in black olive sauce.

Overall it was OK, but we waited for like almost 2 hours for a table. Totally horrible.

Before going for dinner, we were studying at Caufield, but I ended cam-whoring. :(

First Day of Uni

Well, today was the first day of uni, or night I should say. I have my whole time-table after the sun sets, 6 to 9 pm Monday to Thursday. I had the privilege  of bringing KY along with me to lecture, it was more because I needed someone with me just in case my back gives way again.

It was alright for a first lecture in Quantitative Methods, pretty small lecture, met some new friends. All of them are like working and much older. I feel like the baby in class. But I do have an advantage over them that I'm more familiar with the whole studying thing, cos they've lost touch already. One of them even has a kid. I can't imagine myself doing this if I had a kid, I rather save the energy for sex than go to school, unless I really needed it.

Oh well, it's gonna be another boring fun session tomorrow night.

Stephy In Pain

The past 2 days have been a nightmare for me. On Tuesday morning, I checked my uni stuff and thought that I had block lecture that day, so I took a shower and was getting ready to go to uni. I was bending down to open up my laptop and it hit me.

A severe pain shot into my lower back that I had to sit on the floor. I thought it was just a stiff back so I decided to change into a loose pair of jeans instead of wearing skinnies. I got up to the room and the pain came again, a second time. I couldn't bend down to take off my jeans and I had to scream for KC to come help me. I lied down for awhile thinking I was better and made my way down to the kitchen.

Little did I know that the worse was yet to come. The third time the pain killed me and send me crumbling to the ground with tears and screams. I just laid there and couldn't move. I tried to get a doctor to come see me but nobody will come. I called my chiropractor and asked what I should do. So I followed his instructions and put ice pack on my back. After awhile I showly moved to the couch where i laid there the rest of the day, not able to move.

I was told if I couldn't get up to go to the toilet I needed to be sent to the hospital. So I struggled to the toilet hanging onto KC like a dead corpse, Peeing was never this painful as I couldn't put my weight on myself.

I needed painkillers and muscle relaxants very badly so I struggled to the clinic with the help of KC and KY. When we got there I couldn't get out of the car. It was just too painful. I couldn't move at all. The doc suggested I go to the hospital instead. After getting a referral letter from the doc we went over to the nearest hospital where they got me out of the car on a stretcher. I waited for about over an hour before she gave me some painkillers and muscle relaxants. I fell asleep while KC and the rest went to get supper and refuel the car. They actually bought dumplings for me but the nurse wouldn't allow them to feed me. We waited till the next morning to see the doctor. I was able to walk but with some help, and got discharged with prescription for painkillers. I have to lie in bed for the next 2 days. I'm typing tjis as i'm lying in bed. The pain has to be gone before I can see a physio therapist.

My back is really sore after lying for so long.

Dedicated to all the Admin at Monash International

I've been quite busy the past few days settling uni stuff. Cos I was suppose to register on 2 July, but I didn't check on the school website the confirmed registration date, and I had to pick up my dad's friend from the airport. I found out the next morning that I missed registration, so I called immediately to ask what I should do and the Indian guy on the phone was SO not helpful. In fact he was being quite bitchy. He asked if I applied for late registration and I said no cos I was sick and couldn't step out of the house. He went on like this, "Oh, this is bad. If you don't have approval for late enrolment you might not be able to study." I got really upset and started screaming at him, and he put me on hold which he eventually did not pick up again cos he "CUP MY DIAN WEI"!!!! That bastard!!

So never mind that shit head, I called again and this NICE ang moh picked up and he said, "Oh no problem just give me a sec I'll see what I can do." See the difference! This is service standard. You have to be polite and keep your caller calm at all times. Obviously the previous guy doesn't know what he's doing. I didn't wait for him to get back to me cos I just drove down to uni to get it settled, faster that way.

At uni was another disaster. I went to student services, who referred me to the faculty, who then referred me to international student centre. When I got there I had to wait in the queue for quite long cos they are the slowest department in uni, with only ONE person mending the counter. After a long wait, another person emerged and TRIED to help me. She asked the same thing about late enrolment and I said its a very last minute thing, how would I know I will be so sick and need to apply for late enrolment. Then she had that very BO CHAP face and the "you deserve it" look, and casually said, "Oh if you don't have approval you are not guaranteed a place and have to wait till the next in-take." I really couldn't control anymore and started crying and screaming at her infront of everyone else. Including KC.

She even pointed into the letter to said that it's printed here, the fine print. STUPID BITCH! Seriously, who the hell she think she is. She even said she will try her best to help me and I told her off and said that she doesn't look helpful at all. You know how she answer me?!?!?! "You want me to cry with you to show my sincerity?" FUCK HER! BLOODY BITCH!!!! So FUCKING RUDE!

So I had no choice but to apply for late enrolment via email and hope that they will approve it, too bad. After all it was my own fault that I didn't check the date. But still she didn't have to be so crude right?! She said if I can provide a valid MC she can help me to get it approved. So the next morning I went to see the chiropractor, which I already had an appointment before all this nonsense. Fixed my back and got my MC. The doc was so kind and said he was willing to rig up a full letter for me if they didn't accept the MC. So I brought the MC down to uni, and guess what? The same bitch saw me and let me cut the queue, not only that they approved my late enrolment without an MC.

So everything was settled, my back and uni. HAHA!!! Putting me through all that shit for nothing.

BTW, that bitch looked like and sounded like that woman from <Just Follow Law>. You know the one that goes "need black & white, no black & white cannot". But since she was so nice and helped me get it approved, I was actually thinking of sending some thank you flowers. Well she did smile at me when I came back the next day. You think I should??

Pathetic Life

We are living together and we hardly go out. Now to make things worse, we hardly even have sex. Like we only do it during the safe period which is like the week after my period ends. He really needs to know that I will get imbalanced during PMS. So if he only wants to have sex after my period, he has to go out with me for movie or something during PMS. If not I'll just go MAD! That stupid guy!!!!

Back From GC

Yes! I'm back! It was quite hot at GC, the sun was so glaring I was having persistent headaches all the time. But it was very fun, except for the last day. The first day we went to Movie World, which we found the most fun out of the 3 worlds that we visited. We sat on all the rides, except for one which I didn't want to get wet so I gave it a miss, but I helped KY take a picture as she was coming out.



The next day we visited Sea World, it wasn't as fun as Movie World cos I guess it wasn't so much of thrill rides, but still it was OK. It was nice to see the sea lions, dolphins and what not. We had breakkie at Pancake Paradise before heading off. The funniest thing was I ordered the all you can eat pancakes, but I only ate like 3 pancakes. The girl was sniggering at me. SO embarrassing!





As seen in the picture I bought KY a polar bear, its very nice and cuddly, but I decided not to get KC one cos he can hug me instead if he needs to hug something at night. HAHA! Well, we spent that night at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Guided tour to see the nocturnal creatures, we even had pictures taken with a baby croc and some snake. It was pretty fun and we thought the lady photographer was cool, but I think she's gay.





We were dead tired when we got back to the hotel, we just K.O.ed right after our showers. I was very tired but glad I was going back to Melbourne, cos I kinda missed KC. I really wished he was there with us the whole time. The next morning we went to Dream World, which we found totally not fun at all. It was like a total waste of our money, cos we felt sick after the first ride. The sun was SO glaring that day I was having a perpetual headache.



Except for the tigers on tiger island, the cubs were so cute, and the big ones looked beautiful. But I really didn't understand why the keepers had to be inside the parameters to keep the tigers apart.





We flew back that night and came back home to a nice hot shower and supper. KC made us sweet chilli chicken and chips. Isn't he sweet? Awwwww....

24 Hours

In less than 24 hours, Kit Yee and I will be in the sunny land of Gold Coast. This is so exciting for us. It's the first time we're going on a trip together, just the two of us. Although it's the second time for me, but I'm still so thrilled. I guess it's because I only visited Sea World when I was there my first time. This time round, we'll be going to Movie World, Dream World and Sea World, and it's with KIT YEE!! That's a hell lot of thrill rides u can sit in 3 days. Hope we don't lose our minds.

Excitement here we come!

While the two of us are enjoying ourselves. Our poor KC is here doing his last exam. I feel so bad leaving him behind like this. BUT, even if he already finished his exams, he wouldn't have followed us. Cos he is SO BUSY. He has A LOT of work to do, but he will be unwinding with his friends with drinks and KTV before he starts work. I hope he enjoys himself without us, and Forensic Heroes 2.

We're planning on not sleeping tonight, just TV and Wii till 5am to take the first train to Spencer Street to catch the Skybus to the airport. Our flight is at 7am. Gosh, that is damn hell of an early flight! We're still waiting for Bren to decide if she wants to tag along with us. Well, she has less than 12 hours to decide. If she does come along, Dopey is gonna be KC's companion for the next 4 days. Aw, they'll be so cute doing boys things together.

Till then it's gonna be some Foxtel, Wii Fit then steamboat dinner. Yums!!

Ugly Sesame Bagels

My bagels were not that successful, but they tasted not too bad for a first attempt.


However, they are ugly. Yes, UGLY. And it just so happened that Mackers here has a new breakfast bagel with ham, and they were promoting it on TV. My dearest boyfriend had to go, "Eh B, why your bagel go different from the one on TV leh? Theirs like very smooth, how come yours so uneven one?" I was like, "Cos theirs is machine made, whereas mine is made with LOVE." I WIN. hahaha! Who cares if it looks good or bad, as long as it tastes good. I'll try again next time.

BTW, the recipe was suppose to make 12 bagels, I only ended up with 7.

I Wonder If...

I wonder if you people actually read my blog. Am I blogging for nothing? Cos nobody leaves comments.

Hmmm... I'm starting to wonder.

OH WTH.

I'm waiting for the sesame bagels to bake. They are in the oven now, my first attempt. Thanks to Bren I'm trying to make them. Cos it costs $3.90 each at Starbucks, and we can't find it anywhere else. I'm trying to make a bunch now that costs me less than $3.90, if it works its going to be Stephy's bagels from now on.

Fingers crossed!!

Drama Queen Visits Melbourne

I'm much better from the stupid flu. Just a little more to clear up. Hopefully its cleared before going over to Gold Coast. My stupid period is still not here yet, I hope it comes tomorrow.



Main topic: Daphne Wang the Drama Queen was here in Melbourne a few weeks back for a holiday. Obviously we had to spend time with each other. We rented a 'manual' Hyundai Getz, and I brought her to Yarra Valley to visit the wineries, and I bought her lunch at Yering Station.

We had alot of fun, its been so long since we last went out and really enjoyed ourselves. The next day I even cooked dinner for the lot. Lamb chops, french beans and ABC soup.











We also had dinner at Chapel Street, together with KC and Bren.




When it was time for her to return to Singapore, it was so unbearable. It was fun having her around, we really laughed a lot. Stupid bitch, really miss you a lot.
