A new decade

 Rethinking of how and what 2009 has turned me into; a lazy bum. HAHA. I studied only two subjects in the first half of the year; got too laid back while having fun during my last semester at university. What else? After that, I went home for a month and continue having fun. Then, I came back to be serious for the graduation then slack till now. Lol. Somehow I guess I’m lacking of motivation to move on further into a new phase in life. I reckon I’m still in my comfort zone. I didn’t feel like changing how and what has been there.

Rabbits would experience a good one this year, according to the predictions. Hopefully I would decide on what I really want to do. Probably continue studying something of my interest. I realized I have been dreading to start work because I just dislike the anatomy of it. I’d rather do waitressing and do short holidays around Australia. But I presume I’ll get bored of it sooner of later. Did I mention how happy I am working at Mamak currently? Besides having to work really hard every single day because the restaurant is just busy the whole time; everyone loves Roti in Sydney I tell you. It’s the connection I have with all my colleagues there. We laughed around while stressing up on large orders, playing a fool with kitchen staffs for instance stealing bits of food before sending out due to the reason of being ‘Too much’ sometimes? Or placing a cucumber of both sides of our uniform and started giving respects to that person like as if he is commandant? The customers are also one of the reasons why I enjoyed working. Because it’s Malaysian food and it is somehow a new thing for most of the people who were amused by the flipping of the rotis, they had no idea what to order at all thus needing to even decide for them on their orders. Seeing them feeling so happy with their meals just gave a satisfying feeling, that you have made their day. One customer really told me that he was really thankful to me for making his day. Such a sweet thing isn’t it?

Anyway, do all these means I have achieve at least something slightly different in life for once? Hopefully there will be more to come in 2010? In need to think of a resolution soon!

The sweet Two-Two

I’ve actually forgotten about being 22^nd several times on the day itself. Haha. This shows how much I have grown up. I still remember how important birthdays were to me when I was younger, whereby I tend to get excited about it as early as a month before planning parties and what not. I had some research assignment on my birthday itself; just because to earn some cash, I went for it. Nick was nice enough to accompany me there although it takes about half an hour bus ride. I agreed to it because there was a mall which is like Westfield so he could spend the one hour window shopping while waiting for me.  When I was done an hour’s time, I called him at the mall and then I saw him walking towards me with the bouquet of mixed gerberas, roses and lilies pink colored flowers and specially wrapped with purple color wrapper just match my bag. It was sweet of him to be able to search of the particular color I mentioned and the combination of flowers a fortnight ago.

A Free Boost on my Birthday!

Dinner that night was simple but amazingly a hearty meal. A very cozy-like ambience matched with the dim lightings while having medium rare rib-eye steak. I would say that it’s my version of happy meal. After meal, he organized a mini surprise of my favorite crème brulee along with a birthday song; not forgetting the little sparkles as candles. Too bad I didn’t have a picture of it because I couldn’t get my eyes off the sparkles. Hehe.

Ever so cute baby with his huge eyes!

And it makes me eyes looks even smaller >.<

Owh, the food at The Meat & Wine Co. is realllly good!

That night itself, baby had this treasure hunt done by hiding key words all around the room which leads to the present he got from Italy. Guess what? It’s a PU Leather Jacket I’ve been wanting to get! On my birthday itself, I bought a heart pendant from Tiffany and Co. just for myself. I’m no longer 21, thus I’ve decided to take down the key pendant and replaced it with another pendant.

Two days after, my buddies had another surprise for me! And it was Baskin Robbins ice-cream cake! Imagine my happyyyyy face~ Thanks so much guys!

A surprise, thus having to wear horrid in pictures 

I really had a wonderful birthday

* An update about myself again, will be working quite a bit on Christmas and NewYear’s Day but with better wage but I might still try and celebrate NewYear as much as I can after work? Hehe. And I’ll be heading south on Monday till Wednesday to The Grand Pacific Drive; Wollongong and Kiama! Finally, a summer getaway! Will be searching for sun and fun at the Great Barrier Reef; Cairns too! I’m already saving for the trip I’m so excited about as well.

Life looks after those that live it

I made a habit of reading news online everyday before I log on to Facebook. Today I read about this Brazillian girl who died at Elizabeth Bay due to drug overdose. Tried looking on Facebook for her and she was actually same age as I do.

Link here

Five days before she died, Suellen Domingues Zaupa wrote on her Facebook page "life looks after those that live it".

I was browsing her page and her friends were searching for her all around but sadly her life has been cut short. Somehow reading tragedy stories always strikes me to be happy of what I have currently and be grateful that I’m actually still alive.

And sometimes, I know why my parents are overprotective. They are worried for my safety and well-being. All in all, they didn't want to lose me.

The Dress Story

Hehehe. If anyone ever noticed recently on my Facebook status about wanting to purchase this particular dress from this online shopping blog. Then, it was sold out, but restockable again when I went back to Sydney. I loved it so much so I told my sister to buy it for me then send it over. I didn’t care much about postage because I loved it so much. But baby sister was busy with Uni stuffs so she banked in the money later than the date due so it was sold out. I was so so so unhappy then she told me her friend bought it from the same person then my beloved sister convinced her to sell the dress to me by expressing to her how much I love it. Awwww. I was happy again then to realize that it wasn’t the same design. Hence I was disappointed after so many times of hype.

Baby also told me that, ‘if the dress is yours, it will be” And it happened twice when I thought it would be mine!

The sudden decision to go shopping for summer today end up making me overjoyed with the dress I found at a shop. More expensive in AUD and wasn’t the exact design but it’s the exact replica of Topshop’s! How could I not get it right away? I took some time to think about it and when I went back, there were only one size 6 left! *screams* I almost lost it again! Haha. To make things happier, I got myself a Sportgirls shades! Summer here I come!

So, let me present to you my ♥!

Birthday is coming, so yay! I have a pretty dress to wear on that day!

And the ex-love. Haha. (I still ♥ it)

On another note, Nando’s opened right in front of my apartment but I restrained myself from even looking at it till I found something in my post box!

Hehehe. Told ya, baby! They will surely have a promotion like this! Yay! Achieve Double PORTUGASM!  (Ignore my horrible glasses)

I've been accepted for a two-months internship, commision based but will get a reference letter upon completion. I guess, its back to Uni time! It's so assignment-based!

Missing the city girl?

 Hehe. I guess it’s the lack of inspiration to blog nowadays with additions of the busy working life too. Hehe. I’ve been working at Mamak, and have just been confirmed on the job. Yes, once accepted, will go on probation before getting a confirmation. I would say I have been enjoying a lot working there. Tired and busy as usual, but I had fun with colleagues working with me. I did my first supper shift last Friday, which means I worked from 5.30 pm up till 3 am. I couldn’t wait 15 minutes in the dark for a bus, so I walked home along George St. Yes, there were drunkards all around but I’m also one; drunk from working. I couldn’t walk straight just like them. Lol.

Anyways, Nick left for holidays at Europe last week till the end of November and I realized I have been talking to myself a lot. Laughing, commenting, frowning; basically conversing to myself. Hahah. A talkative person like me just couldn’t live alone or else I think I might go mad in no time. Lol!

Okay pictures time! I shall pick some nice pictures of Jenolan Caves. Another experience at the cave! Oh before that, see how happy I am with this frozen yogurt, strawberry with lychee flavour? Yummmmyyy!

Firstly, we started with the River Cave tour which was said to be one of the famous and beautiful worth-going tour.

Rated: Fitness Level; Hard

The most beautiful part of the tour

Steep steel ladder, we went up this way and backwards down as well

Then we proceeded for the easier walk, Chifley Cave. Because it was easier, the view in the cave were least favourable by us as compared to River Cave

Spot the flat level, only little steps in the cave

Nicest view of Chifley Cave

Hmmm, The next thing would be Sky Diving perhaps? Or probably a short vacation to Cairns. I’ve been wanting to get a Diving licence but it might be too expensive to do it in Australian dollars. Parasailling overlooking the Great Barrier Reef would be good also don’t ya think?

All I need to do now is to save money! For sky diving and iPhone! Urghh, costly!

Argh, I'm missing this cute baby of mine! One more week till he's back!
