  • End of 2009 and coming in 2010..

     IMG_4404 IMG_4434

    The last few days of 2009.... almost become my last few days in Australia.. Luckily, thing hasnt go that far.. I still have a chance to stay here...  Try to be positive and put all my problems out of my head.. Its holiday now, I am enjoying my time.. Start to catch up my cookng, step into my kitchen and cook... I love cooking, I am not a good cook person, But I am willing to learn and try new recipe.. this year I received a Masterchef cookbook as christmas present, I might try some recipes from the book.

    What do I planned for my Christmas and holiday?

    I just came back from Canberra. For those who doesnt know where is Canberra , I can tell you that Canberra is capital of Australia which located in between of Sydney and Melbourne. There are Parliment house, Art Gallery, Embassy, War memorial..... etc.. A historical place to visit and very quiet too. The Purpose that I went there was because "Masterpieces from Paris".. Good experience. I am not a fan of Artistic.. until I saw the art from "Vincent Van Gogh". do you remember the song "Vincent" and the lyris start with "starry starry night...." .. that is the song for the artist and the paint that he did... Very impressive.

          Starry_Night_Over_the_Rhone "starry night"

    This year Christmas I am going to family house party.. I remembered last year I was celebrating with my parents in the plane while we flown back to Malaysia after my graduation. Time flies, I didnt see my family almost a year.. When am I going to meet my friends and family ??? 2010? Hope so.

    What's next after Christmas? Is Boxing day!

    I am going to browse around and check some Good and cheap stuff to buy, I am not a fan of shopping clother but.. I am a fan of kitchenware or houseware.. haha!!  I will buy things when I really need it, If I dont need it, I wont buy it.. Its wasted money. I have spent too much this year.

    On that night... I am flying to Cairns.. Yes.. Cairns, here I come! Cairns is a place which located at north of Queensland. its gonna be HOT HOT day!! I am going to sweat and Lose weight and sunburn too! and snookeling too. ;P cannot wait for it.

    Hopefully next year 2010, I am going OK, not much trouble happen and everything go with the flow..

    Wishing U all.. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    The most memorable day was the last day and last dinner.. I will not forget the moment that we spent together on the tram car restaurant..we taught the English Tourists to say "suan ah" and "wo ai ni" haha!! so funny!!! Besides, I would like to say thank you to them... because they bring my confidence and happiness back to melbourne and from the tour, I know more about melbourne.. Something that you dont realised its right in front of you... I walk so much until I get sore leg.. But all I have done is worth it!!! WOrth it!!!

    I hope Cheeky team will remember all the moments that we spent together ... especially the stories from Australia about "pineapple and banana" haha!! and our Cheeky Boy loves to go "St Kilda Beach" ....that was the BEST SHOT he has be taken so far! hahaha!!!

  • YES!! Dramas..... Still On Board

     

    一波MEI 停,一波又起。。。

    我的故事可以做成一本书。。就像JULIE&JULIA 一样写BLOG去完成一本FRANCE COOK BOOK FOR AMERICAN。。我到底还要等多久才可以把它作好。。我的生活多姿多彩, DRAMAS 一大对,每一次都会有麻烦在档我的路,我的PROGRESS。。 以前当我成为美后事,有人问我到底我相信运气吗?我说我相信。。我在那时真的很幸运的得到冠军。。当我来到这里,我的幸运慢慢的没有了。。做每一件事情都不是那么的顺利,我知道没有苦现那里会有甜后。。我在这过程也学到很多东西。。只好 "TAKE IT AS IT COMES" 享受过程吧。。

     

    忍忍忍!! 有时真的很讨厌我的工作。。讨厌自己。。都不是我想要的。为什么我要逼自己呢??? (氮气)

    "马死落地走。。。。那是我!"

  • Well well well !!!



    well well well.. finally I have settled down and move into a new place is located in one of the Suburb in Victoria. This is the first time that I live in the Suburb...For the past 3 years, I stayed in the city.. so can said it is very convenient...Definitely I have lots of night lifestyle in the city... Now I move into the Suburb ... not that bad actually..drive to the city or catch train takes 20mins... However, the travel distance from my home to my workplace takes 40mins. Train approximately 20mins then tram 10mins.. Quick a long journey, so everyday I have to wake up early and get ready to catch the morning train. If not, I will be late and it will pack inside the train!! (no more sleep in..) + _ +

    The different between Suburb and the city is...... lifestyle.. I feel at home in the Suburb. Now I am living in a duplex house compared to last time I lived in an Apartment. Every year I moved to the same area and stay in the highrise building apartment which I can see the view whereas suburb is mainly bungalows, gardens and some small town areas. Not bad though, I quick like it... As if all my friends are here. SE (southern East area).Before I move into this place, I'm always worry that I cannot get used to it... But, now I feel like I am staying at home just like being back home in my country. I feel good.. For sure, the area and room is much bigger than the previous room that i had. Show you guys my new place.. the quality of the pictures not very good.. I am staying with 2 friendly housemate and I have a room with ensuite toilet and walking wardrobe. I can put more clothes inside my wardrobe wakakaka!!!!

         Obviously the "ding ding dang dang" that hooked on the walls.... not my stuff, my housemate hasnt move all his stuff in his room..

    Past 2 weekends I was working.... and busy moving house.. and now all done.. I feel exhausted, I havent get a chance to rest well.... Now, the only thing that I havent settle is ..... my visa! I still have to WAIT!! a bit frustrating... HeLP!!!

    Time flies... Another 3 months is end of the year and Autumn Festival is just around the corner... My mom purposely asked my aunt to bring it over... mooncake from my town. Love it! I want with the egg yolk.... "shanghai mooncake" is my favourite.... Does anyone can tell me where can I get it from here??

  • Study life



    Suddenly missed my study life..... Study life was the best moment ever... From Kindergarten , primary, secondary....until Uni... College and Uni life are the best. We could set our time table, when we want to eat, sleep... and the best we could set what time we want to wake up... Sleep in!!! If you are a student, remember to appreciate the study moment that you have now... Dont trust me.. go to do some survey..

    During exam period, study until mid night then go to mamak and supper... So good! I missed all the moments.. I couldn't remember when was the last time I went to Mamak and eat mee goreng with telur. yum yum!!! Teh tarik or ais limau kosong.. etc..Where to find those "happy moment"?? Catch up with friends..World cup, all the streets full of tables and the people crowded in the middle... the "hurray" voice...the scream..the atmosphere! 

    After started working in full time job... all time table have to re-schedule.. Alarm have to set for the morning call...everytime I have to set one hour earlier to give myself some time to get off from my bed.. Snooze.... Snooze... no matter how many times I press the button, till the end I have to force myself to wake up in the COLDEST Morning. So cold!!! especially the moment that you have to change your cloth.. walauyeh! Freezing! haha!

    I talked to my workmate... How I wish I could go back to the past and study....not much trouble to worry about! ish ish!! missing it!! Its all because of my old schoolmates that I bumped into on FB.. dig out all my memories  ~ ~

  • when it comes.. it comes!


    I had been trying hard to get my English exam passed.... I have traveled around the Australia to take the exam.. and last blog I mentioned that my result released on Friday and what happen was... I havent get there yet!! Honestly, I pretty confident last time, I have no idea why it could be like that.. I am so depressed when I got my result.... I locked myself for a night, dont feel like eating at all...so depressed and disappointed to myself.. The next day because of work, I have to force myself to cheer up... the past few days weren't that good.. I dont know how to tell my parents and friends about my result.(I know everyone is worried about me... and they dont really want me to leave..they feel so sorry to me) I pretty confident.. I totally lost!! I dont know what to do!!!  Meanwhile, I went to Darwin last week and took my english exam which I applied last 2 months ago... I couldnt concentrate on study, I fed up already..... however, this time I think I take it easy.. I dont really care much AS I have prepared myself to go back... my mind, my thought, my move.. I just feel like going back... I think I am lucky because I'd been here for 3 years and I got my friends,workmate and 2years working experience in my industry... I earned!! I totally agreed myself with this point.

    Besides, currently I am staying in a level 30 floor apartment which facing to the city... Nice view. I have my own bedroom ensuite with bathroom...day time, I can look up to the Blue sky.. and night time, the view is magnificent, Amazing! All my friends who came to visit me envies and love it so much...... for sure, it is a bit pricey and Last time because I stay with clemence and now he moved back, and I have to handle it all by myself.... Not long, I have to move out as the contract is end up in september.....

    I am counting the day... I dont know what is my plan... I will take it when it comes and I am ready myself.. that is no point for me to worry so much, just do what ever I can.. I dont want to think too much or plan anything... Plan will always changed. it is changing against the time... So, take one step at a time!!!! I discussed with my family, they will support my decision.. and I dont think it will be "THE END" If I go back for good.. right?

    In Melbourne, one of the reasons that make me happier is hanging out with friends.. especially my dear and my babe!!! they are my best friend ever.. and all my friends in melbourne.... my job, I think I can get it anywhere.. but Truth friend is difficult to find... right! when you get used to it.. you dont feel like letting Go!!! that is the best time to hang out with all my friends in Melbourne.

    On the other hand, I went through lots of things by myself, Within the years my thinking, my move and my words are totally different from the first start that I arrived in melbourne. I learned a lot! Same as the time that I joined the pageant in Malaysia and International. The difficulties that I faced and the way I'd gone through..not EAsy! I pretty sure everyone have their own experience. That is the way to make us become tougher.  I know I have a long way to go... havent reach "Quarter of my life"...so enjoy the moment that I have and be appreciative to the people who really care and love you..  ;P

  • Hang it there~~


    Today is a special day for me.. my result came out last Tuesday and posted on Wednesday. I think probably today I will receive it on my mail box. Seriously, this time I pretty confident, but confidence doesnt mean anything as I am not the makers or examiner. Past3 times I told myself the same thing.. I pretty confident.. At the end, I still couldnt get through. Everyone ask me the same question, is it hard to get passed for your English test? I heard that  is very easy to get through, honestly, it is not hard to get passed, but the slow-minder like me...always answer the questions carefully, maybe too carefully and become careless. lack of confidence is the main obstacle to me. when I feel confident with something and the people marking around me or asked me few times to make sure I am right, I will started to get panic....and ask myself.. "am I sure??"

    I came to australia for 3 years, I think I earned and learned alot. I have a good job which I work for 2 years, I have my friends and some supportive friends that always beside me, I have working experiences, you might not know that I've been here for 3 years and I had worked in different jobs...e.g Waitress, kitchen hand, sales, promoter....etc.  I am improving myself. Within 3 years I become smarter and tougher. not that naive that I used to be...

    Actually I have a back-up plan for myself  IF I dont get to stay in Australia. However, before I leave this country, I wish I could finish my lists .. It takes awhile to settle this stuff. Hence, I will start to work things out....so I wont feel regret in the future ;p

    "Fighto" ---->>> ^@^

  • what comes up to me past 3 weeks >?? MIA?



    Let me start from the second week of May, as I have to work on the weekends and study for my English test on the following week, I didnt get to sleep in ages ago, I've been busy on my work and being cynical for the week. I heard so many stories from my friends and the stories that happened to myself as well...make me scared of fell into love..Obviously, when I mentioned about fear, most of the time will be talking about Love or my result. To be honest, the ABC in Australia are crazy... Or maybe they are always be nice to everyone. Let me throw some examples, I met a guy, we get well along for few months, he asked me out and went to his place to have dinners with his parents and movies... nice chat....everyone thinks he is good and nice.. and he likes me.. bla bla bla! (i dont trust it as I am so Cynical and want to protect myself). On the other hand, he liked to blow Cold and Hot as well..he can treat you very nice... in a short while, he would stop calling you or talk to you.. Weird tought! Anyhow, I dont care as I had enough and I dont want to waste my time to build up another relationships.So, until today we didnt talk and I never contact him at all.. Give you another examples, A couple who hang out for 2 years and turned up the guy said "I like you" but I dont love you??? what is this????? we cannot explain.. we only can "O" ... weird!! so many weird people around here.... Scary!!

    Next, the following week which is third week of May, I've a exam in sydney. I think I am flying around the Australia to take my english test. Last month I went to Adeilaide and now was Sydney, next month flying off to Darwin ... haha!! I treat it like my holiday instead of exam. Works were busy and I couldnt focus on my study. I stayed late almost every night to finish my work. I never did my work like that, Step into my office in the morning and never left my seat except toilet and water. OMG!! crazy week for me. Lucky, I went to sydney and take some break after the exam. Went to nice restaurant and rest well.

    Last sat, finally I got to sleep in.. I couldnt remember when was my last time to sleep in.... I had a nice sleep,dreams and went to yum cha with friends and did some shopping for my dad's present. Clean up my messy living room/balcony/kitchen on the weekend, (housemate had party at home which I didnt know about until I went home After I clean up everything, am I look like an idiot?? I clean it up less than 2 hours... and everything back to normal) Sigh!! In conclusion, I know I cannot stay with people and next time I have to get an apartment and live by myself. Make sure the rent can drop down a bit.. Now it is paying the xxx.

About Me

  • I'd completed my degree in Bachelor of Construction Management and currently become a FULL TIME position worker in a Builders company. It's been a while I worked there..... I think more than a year...?? And I found that...all the jobs have their difficulties.. when I'm still a student, I used to think... working is the best because I can earn money and spend for myself...So I desperate to get a job quickly. But once I got it.. I feel so regret... I regret that I dont spend my study life properly. I should Enjoy myself instead of start my work straight after study... Now I wish to have more holidays.... Work are not easy!! every Monday.. I wish to that is a Friday.. haha!! 23 years I'd been living in this World!!!
