I had my very first roadtrip few days ago. We rented a car and drove to mornington, my friends drove of course. It was just a 1 day trip. The weather was very cold that morning and it was damn windy! Early in the morning, cold weather, strong wind= FREEZING. 

That's the view from Arthur's Seat. Beautiful isn't it. 

Next, we went to ashcombe maze & lavender garden. Weather was not very good at that time as it was drizzling the whole afternoon. Spoils the mood really. Camera was a lil wet and foggy due the cold weather. *my poor poor camera =( * 

We visited Cape Schanck Lighthouse, Portsea and we even went to Peninsula Hot Spring! What a nice way to end the day. In a nutshell, the trip was good despite the weather. If I could, I would go there again end of the year to visit Sorrento for the strawberries! wuhooooo!

you could probably tell that I'm lazy to write down every details. Album's up on my facebook already. Have a look if you want! heh =P

A very rare photo of me showing my rabbit teeth. HAHAHA. Chao~

.

I'M DONE WITH MY EXAMSSSS! yayyyyy! 

.

4 down, 1 more to go. One more and that's it. DONE and I finished my bachelor's degree. Man, time flies. Let's just hope that I pass everything =S. Had my fingers crossed. 

I need my sleep. I need to do my laundry. I need to do groceries. I need to find out about my further plans for studies. I need to lose weight!  gain so much during exam period. =S *NOT GOOD!

I want to travel outside Melbourne. Plan to go on a roadtrip with my another friend. Just the 2 of us so far. We plan to rent a car and drive ourselves. =D Hopefully everything goes well.  

I want to bake stuff!! yes, I've been planning to make chocolate mousse cake or maybe baked cheesecake and cupcakes too! Oh maybe some apple puffs as well. man that's so many things. I love to bake bake bake. *lovesloves*

...............

On another note, CHIA IM VERY VERY VERY EXCITED FOR YOU!  I  feel so so happpppyyyy =D You're going to be a mother soon. Ahhhh.. Words can't describe how I feel now. Take good good care of yourself. Can't wait to go back and see yap junior! :D

.

Yes, this is how I feel now. 

.

TADAA! It's square cupcakes! nice isn't it? 

Okay

...

..

.

Actually I failed. I don't have muffin trays and that's the reason they went out of shape. But hey it's all about the taste! who cares~ Anyway, I made this for Alison as her birthday present. Made them today. Quite satisfied with the result. Could've been better if it's 'round'. Too much icing though but this is my first time doing so I want to play decorate it with more icings! 

Back to my books! 

Chao people!

actually no, i'm going to bed. Goodnight! 

.

Last Friday, we had a small gathering for Minyi and Faezah's birthday. Both May babies. We had pot luck for dinner that day. Lotsa food, but too bad I didn't take any except for desserts. =D Since it's a potluck dinner, I made apple pie. hahaha. 

Nutella Cheesecake! made by Minyi herself. It's a nonbake cheesecake btw. Too little nutella, minyi =(. Shud've add more! next time kay! 

ohh! this is unrelated. Sheng jia cooked 'COKE CHICKEN' the other day, couldn't remember when. I rmbr watching tvb and those ppl cook 'coke chicken'. Finally I got the chance to taste it. It's was good. Easy to make too! haha

.

Just had a F4 Moment. HAAHAHAHAHA

Min Yi, my sg friend, asked me out on a meteor date. :) Together with Hiap Lai and Medion. Lai drove us to Mt. Cooper. The night sky was full of stars! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Chia, you will LOVE it. We lie down on the concrete floor, chating and singing away..hahaaha. It was 1something in the morning. People must think that we're NUTS! But there's no one else except the 4 of us. 

There will be more meteors in the coming days. But last night (22/4) had the most meteors. I might go again later tonight. Who knows. XD I saw 3 meteors in total. And Hiap lai saw 4. The last meteor I saw was very funny! Me and MinYi were not satisfied cos we both only saw 2 at that time. The 4 of us were chating away with me and minyi lying down and the guys standing up. Hiap Lai was talking, so me and Min Yi looked up at his direction and GUESS WHAT! 

WE BOTH SAW A METEOR BETWEEN HIAP LAI'S AND MEDION'S HEAD! Both of us were laughing and screaming loudly! It was hilarious! who could've thought that you could see a meteor between their heads. CLASSIC MOMENT! You could probably tell that I'm still excited..HuaHuaHua. I'm a happy happy girl though I didn't make any wish. Was too excited to make one anyway. hahahaha I'm going to bed now! NIGHTS PEOPLE!

.

I've been sleeping very late or rather 'early' these days. 

Anyway, I captured this around 7am in the morning before I sleep. Early eh~

Hot Air Balloon

I want to ride in a hot air balloon! Watching the sunrise in the hot air balloon is so nice. If I have the chance, I would LOVE to go up on that ride. :D Nice experience. Beautiful scenery. Heh Heh. And I'm pretty sure I'll spend big bucks on this ride. But oh well, I'm just saying. 

And this, this was this morning. Pinkish sky. See the netting? I was lazy to stand up and take it from the other side of my window (the hot air balloon picture). Hence, nettings in this picture. Heh Heh.

HAD AN AWESOME NIGHT YTD! Lady gaga's concert ROCKSSS! Though I waited for like more than 1 hour. The special guest, no comment, not my type of music I'd say. They're a band from New York, Semi Precious Weapons. 

Best song of the night was Bad Romance! and it's the last song of the night. Everybody got up and singing with her. It was a very very 'HIGH' moment! Really the best song of the night. Thank god I downloaded some of her other songs few weeks ago. And I just start listening to it. ahaahha Or else, I only know a few songs from her concert. Dance in the dark, Alejandro, Speechless, Monster, Beautiful Dirty Rich are very new to me. And guess what, I listened to all these songs in the morning b4 i go out to city for the concert. AHAHHAHA

And of cos, she performed Pokerface, Love Game, Just Dance, Paparazzi and BAD ROMANCE! wuhoo! She didn't performed Eh Eh (nothing else I can say) though. Her outfits was wow. Very lady gaga. XD Overall, It's a very very nice concert. The best one I've been to so far. I have alot pictures to edit before I uploaded it to FB. So, for now, I shall give u guys a sneak preview. :) 

AHHAHAHAHAA.

.

I'm going to the Monster Ball tonight at Etihad Stadium! KYAKKK! Lady gaga here I come. :))))

.

I went to the kitchen without realising there's an egg placed on the floor beside my door. How cute! Happy Easter Everyone! :) 

♥

.

Easter Break is approaching, 1 week break. I'm excited! why? I'm going to watch Lady Gaga this 9th April. wuhoo! But then, I have a presentation coming up right after the break. :( Sucks weh

Anyhoo, I went city last week. Passed by Union Lane,  the canvas for the City of Melbourne's Street Art Project. The graffiti there is very nice. :) Love the colours.

nice isn't it. 

:)

I always passed by this lane, but I never stop by and take photos, not until last sunday. XD Melbourne's weather is getting cold now. This is what I call autumn. It felt like I'm in malaysia for the past month when it's suppose to autumn. *tsktsk* 

Easter break is coming which means there will be lotsa pictures taken. hahahha and makan too. I'll gain weight during this break for sure. Gah! Alrighty, stop here for now.

p/s: cant wait for Ra ra ah ah ah~~

.

No, not Melbourne. This time it's in Perth. The hailstones there are not big as the one on Melbourne. It almost felt like 2012 is really happening. haha. Anyhoo, sorry for not updating often. Many stuffs happened for the past week. 

-my sister's visit to melbourne for 1 week. 

-Puffing Billy trip

-housewarming part at my friend's place.

And recently, I got a bad sore throat. My voice is really really bad now. my voice is now very manly. I really scared ppl talk to me cos I really dont want to talk to them with my voice like this. My sister asked me to record myself singing with this voice -_________- Didnt drink enough water when my sister's here. And now i got sore throat, she got ulcer. AHAHHAHA.

I bought cough syrup and this. Throat Spray. LMAO. 

GAH. when will my voice be okay? It's been 3 days now! T.T 

.

I bet you people already know what happened here in Melbourne yesterday. I bought the papers today and it said it's the worst storm ever in 40 years. It was a scary yet fun experience really.

I was at the Moomba Festival with my friends. Dark clouds all over city sky and then raindrops starts falling bit by bit and the raindrops became hailstones. Seriously, it was scary at the time. We just stood in front of the game stall and use our bags to cover our faces. Then later 3 of us ran over to another stall with a little roof and just stood there while another 3 of my friends hid under the table at the 1st stall. We were called to go behind where all the toys are placed under the bridge. There were many people hiding there and we all held the waterproof plastic up.

I got hit on the head, hands, legs, back, everywhere basically. Not my face though. hahaha. And I was wearing lady sandals. We were all standing in the icy cold water. I could not feel my feet, really. My other 3 friends soon later joined us and suggested that we ran to get a better place to hide since we're all wet. And yea, we ran, in the ice cold water. We ran all the way to Federation Square and I was shocked to see small part of the ceiling came off and landed on the book stalls below. But thank god nobody was hurt.

Man it was crazy I tell you! But then, like I said, nice experience :) But I don't want it to happen again. Look at all the damages! I got a few bruises and so do my friends. One of my friend's leg was bleeding, not too serious though. He was wearing jeans and he still bleed! The size of the hailstone is no joke, golf ball size! But it was bigger in some other places, tennis ball size. Can you imagine how scary it was!

Look at the size of that thing, this is consider medium size already. There are bigger ones.

They even did so much damage on cars.

Parts of the city roads were flooded. Mad I tell you.

Thank god I'm okay. Nothing happen to us. I tried calling home but couldn't get through. Only my sister though. AHAHA.

The weather is going to be pretty bad these few days. It rained very heavy this evening and one of tower in my hostel flooded. Not very serious one. Alarms everywhere. @.@ Totally chaos!

You guys can have a look at those pictures here. Hailstone Chaos

.

It's been a week now. Everything's good. =) Just that it's been a lil quiet cos some of my friends moved out. But that's okay. XD Ahhh, uni's been a.. a.. *sigh* I dont know how to concentrate during lectures. China man, Korean lady and African man. Their english is.. I think you know. mygod! how to concentrate. *sigh*

My timetable for this semester is quite good. I'm off on Wednesdays and Fridays! HOORAYYY!

sigh damn sien! byebye =(

.

I'm in denial now! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT PLACE YET! At least not now. I'm still enjoying myself in my home sweet home. I know I can't be like this forever but it's too fast! It's like a blink of an eye, and *poof* I'm already going back to that place. This sucks. *sigh* This is because I enjoyed too much and time flies! I STILL WANT TO RELAX! Totally not ready for classes to resume. Plus, I'm not sure when I'll be back this year. It all depends how am I doing in this semester, yes, my LAST semester. I seriously need all the luck I could get! BREAK A LEG! so they say. It all comes down to 2 assumption

1. I pass everything and graduation ceremony in OCT 2010. Find a job or further my studies (Masters or another degree * I don't know*) If I really in this plan, I'm not sure when are the holidays cos masters program have different school holidays compared to degrees hence, no more seeing Sue Ling end of every year =( But then again, all this are just assumptions. If I find a job, that's if I can, I don't think I will be applying so many offs just to go back and holiday. I mean, It's different now. No more 3 months break.

2. *touchwood* I can't graduate on time. (means I failed la *touchwood*) I have to retake in the 2nd semester and work my arse off to pass it. Then, the graduation ceremony will be in APRIL 2011. If that's the case, I'm not so sure I can go back end of the year. Why? you ask me.. That's because the graduation ceremony is in April which is like about 5 months away after I completed. Don't tell me I go back Malaysia and do nothing and then come back again JUST FOR the ceremony. It's a waste of money, but I REALLY REALLY don't want to spend the summer there. I really hope I can go back malaysia because it's FREAKING 40 DEGREES end of the year! and my hostel room dont have a FAN in the room. I could suffocated from the heat to death. Trust me, you don't want to spend the summer in Aussie.

I need to buck up this semester, seriously. Every semester I will say this to myself, STUDY HARDER! But obviously, same old same old. *slaps self!* WHOA, There's so many words in this post. It's been awhile since I type a long post without pictures. I don't think anybody would read this. Who cares right. Well, it's just a piece of my mind now really. *sigh* I really hope I can do well this semester. I'm scared.

On another note, I've just finish packing my luggage, well almost. I think it's about 80% done. And I'm pretty sure it will be overweight by alot! Have to get ready some cash beforehand. Just incase. 20kgs is not enough! 20kgs sounds alot but it's not! really, trust me! I came back last semester with 3/5 luggage filled and it's already 22kgs! And now, it's going to be 5/5. Air Asia is so going to get alot money from me. And I'm going to get it from my parents.

Okay, I need to stop typing and sleep now. It's going to be 3 already. Oh shi-, 34 hours to go! Goodnight world.

*I'm too sleepy to check all my grammars and stuff. To hell with it, I don't care! nights people!*

.

I don't want to go backkkkkk~

7 more days T__________T

.

Back from visiting relatives just now.

This year's CNY was so-so. Not too good, not too bad. Boleh-lahhh. Spent 1 night in Penang and 1 night in Taiping. The amount of money in the ang paos is satisfying. =D And I'm still waiting for more *chia, hint hint* Every year, we, the cousins, will play fire crackers, of course we only play those small kids level cos some of them still young. Only Penangites and Taiping-ites sell fireworks OPENLY. The police station is just 2 roads down opposite the house selling fireworks in penang. *tsktsk*

On the first day of CNY, we always go to Queensbay mall for a walk before lunch. And this time, we went 'The Streams' again, for fish spa. I managed to soak my feet in, in the first 5 minutes compared to last year- I took 30minutes HAHAHA. *self praise* There were many fishes nibbling on my dead skin.@.@ My sister's and mum's only had a few on them. GAH!

We head to Taiping after lunch and spent a night there. We meet again in the kampung the next morning where my dad's family used to live. I missed those times when we stay in my grandma's old house. She sold the house already though. Good times. =)

After that, we went back home and gambled awhile, Blackjack. Only my sister and grandfather didnt play. I only lost 2bucks. hahhaha. Grandma lost rm25, my dad got most of the winnings. We went to Taiping Lake for some photography sessions after that. The weather killed me. I was sweating all over. Why is it so hot on every Chinese New Year? WHY?!

With grandma. Grandpa joined us later.

Love this shot of us. =)

The Taiping Lake Garden. The huge trees are all over 100 yrs old. Nice eh =) All of us had ice creams afterwards. Yums. That's about it. Nothing much on my CNY. Now it's time for me to meet up with my friendsssssss. Let's GAMBLEEEEE! :D

.

Happy and Prosperous Year of the Tiger!

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year and many many ang paos! :)

I'm off to Taiping and Penang tmr. See you guys when I'm backkkk!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Finally, it is over. After all the waiting, I finally get to see Chia Yin's and Kok Seng's big day. Am happy for the both of youuuuuu! And Chia you look absolutely beautiful yesterday night. Kok Seng, you should be happy for getting a pretty wife. ahohoho. All the best for the 2 of you in the future! Many many blessings :))
