My twenty-third birthday.

Late, as always.
Where’s my blogging mojo?
I guess my working life kidnapped it!

My twenty-third mini birthday party will not have ‘succeeded’ if Mr.Ben decides not to lend me a helping hand.
I am such a troublesome girlfriend sometimes.
And I gave him even more trouble when he needs to cook together with me for the food.
Gosh he hates it but still he’ll do it because he loves me. /tak-malu haha


* He blew the balloons and hang it on the tree for me.

He actually took the time and Google on how we can decorate the place to make it looks nicer, more appealing to the eyes.
How thoughtful (:


* Along with my helium balloons.


* This post is actually bombarded with pictures of balloons.


* Pink carnation (:


* Seriously hate taking these polaroids with a camera.


* But my scanner doesn’t seem to work ):


* I look like a little girl here. Sorry if this makes you puke haha!


* Wo de bay ♥


* Hihihi, Bryan always looks so cute.


* I like floating helium balloons!


* Spot Poh Juan, trying to help us snap a picture.


* My balloons are kinda big! /happy


* The only person who’s willing to take pictures with me and ze balloons.


* Yan and me.


* One thing sad about balloon is that they will ‘die’. And I thought of keeping ‘em till they ‘die’ but my annoying boyf set them free to the sky. Almost want to strangle him ):


* My birthday ‘cake’. Haven’t even started arranging my macaron, Alvin already took one and put it in his mouth. Almost strangle him too.


* Ending my post with a funny picture of me. /heheh

Just a simple birthday where some of my close friends celebrate it with me.
Appreciate much!
A big thank you to those who wish me and to those who made an effort to be with me on my birthday.
A big thank you to my love for doing so much, for all the surprises and love.
A big thank you to my parents for the life they gave me and thank you God for everything.

Oh wait, how can I even forget to mention this.
A big thank you to bff’s boyf Mah Weng Kee for letting me fill up his house with balloons, hah.

With ♥

Birthday Dinner at Bistro à Table

Bistro à Table (pronounced “ah t-ah-bl”) in French literally means “to the table!”, a common term used in French households to gather family and friends around the table to feast.
The bistro food pays homage to modern French comfort food, while adopting local elements – we like to call it “adaptive French cuisine”.

The boyfriend had been wanting to try out Bistro à Table since some time back and he finally did when he brought me there on my birthday.
French cuisine it is, we both share a common love.
And before that, sorry for the low quality picture because I did not use flash in this dimly lit restaurant.


* Bistro à Table


* Decorated with light bulbs and plants.


* A very simple and casual interior they have.


* I would prefer siting at the table behind of me because there’s curtain’s surrounding that table and it just feels nicer somehow.


* My fatty (:


* Complimentary bread.


* This prawn is so good, no joke! The slightly burnt prawn when dip in the avocado sauce became a match made in heaven.


* Baked onion with shaved black autumn truffles, organic egg and melted Gruyere. The chef shaved the black truffles right in front of us and I just somehow feel like it’s more worth the money haha. This dish requires lots of skills I guess, I don’t know how they stuff the egg inside the onion.


* Cannelloni of Seared Scallops & School Prawns in Lobster Bisque & Indonesian Black Nut Tapenade. This fusion dish is very well executed, brings out a little Thai flavour while both the scallops and prawns are mad fresh.


* Truffled Mash Potatoes, eat this and you’ll be full.


* 8 hour slow-cooked traditional Roast Lamb, not the most creative dish. Maybe we should have order another dish instead.

I had a great birthday dinner and I really enjoyed the food, thanks to the boyfriend. (:
It seems like he prefer Bistro à Table more than Nathalie’s but both to me are equally good.
Really appreciate French cuisine!

Total bill came up to about Rm250.

Not a post by Peggy Chow

Hmm, hello? Wtf I know that’s lame. But ya, I’m not Peggy Chow who is writing this post. I’m a shameless friend of her to ask her to give me this opportunity to write a blog post. I just feel like writing out of a sudden. D:

I’ve knew her for long, well I would say it’s long enough for me and her to get this strong bond. As we grow older (fml I think we are getting older aren’t we?) I realize it’s just so hard to get a friend like that. It’s never easy. I remember clearly some words from a very good friend of both of us. She said “friends are forever”. I never quite thought about it until I heard it from her, and like I said earlier, as days go by, people come and go, those who actually made the effort to stay, is rare. We can always understand each other easily, even people around us who is actually listening to our conversation don’t really know what we actually on about, we sort of like having a secret language or code, that can only understand by me and her. And I’m loving it. (:

Think properly, it’s actually harder to maintain a friendship than a relationship. Well, at least to me it is. Friendship doesn’t involve commitment, it’s based purely on trust. You are not obliged to update what’s happening around you lately, you are not obliged to keep in touch with them, you do it on your own, your own will. What more when I’m not even around her? I’m in this land, far away from home, it’s even harder with the huge time difference that we got. But nevertheless, we still make it through and here I am, writing my very first blog post. (:

In this month of November, which is kinda special to me. Probably is me that having too much time in my hand, makes me think even more. This is our favorite month I must say, and the reason for it is clear. *evil grins*
But ironically, we only celebrated each other’s birthday for once. Ya, you got me right, it’s only once in these 7 freaking years. I think we got some curse for it or something. )): is there anyone out there that can break the curse for us? D:

For me leaving my beloved country to live and study overseas it’s a really good experience I must say. It tells me a theory that I’ve already knew “幸福不是必然” I knew it, but I never actually felt the meaning of it, not until I leave Malaysia. Friend like this never easy to find and I must say that I’m very very very lucky to have one. Families that are always with me is precious.They are my everything. They are there no matter what I’ve done, how rebellious I was, they are there to forgive me, encourage me, giving me support and what not. They are everything that I needed.

Relationship, going overseas is killing, LDR is never fun, you don’t feel like you’re actually in a relationship when you are having a LDR. Everything feels so unreal, all you do is, video calling as if he’s beside you when you needed him. But it’s never the same, you wouldn’t get cuddle, you wouldn’t get kisses like you normally do. Everything is just so surreal. But I guess that I’m blessed, he didn’t love me any lesser, he still loves me like I never left before. Sometimes I wonder, what have I done in my past life to deserve such a perfect guy like him? I think it’s miracle (:

I think I’m pretty blessed. Good friends, good families and a good relationship. What can I ask more? How can one not blessed when you have a friend like Peggy Chow, that will share all my ups and down. She never went away when I was down, she’s always there when I needed her, she’s always here to share all my happiness and the downside in my life. She’s the one who will cheer me up when I’m not, giving me advice when I’m confused, opening me up when I’m overly stubborn. I’m blessed to have her.

But here again, another year that I couldn’t sing happy birthday song to my bff. The thought itself makes me sad already. )): but nevertheless, I know that she will still have a great one with her love one around her, and this makes me feel better and happy for her, truly from the bottom of my heart. (:

Okay, I think I’m writing a really really long essay here. I guess I should stop rambling in case you guys got too bored and blame Peggy Chow for this ><

And lastly, happy birthday Peg, may you have a great one. (:

Lots of love. xx
Sincerely,
Your partner in crime

Ben’s Birthday (:

As promised, a blog post in a day with pictures (:
A post that was supposed to come a month earlier. That shows how lazy I am, maybe I can blame it on the winter here. You know, winter just makes people lazy.

It was his birthday last week (pending post) month and we had a japanese birthday dinner because we cant help craving for japanese food after watching that hongkong sushi drama.
For the entire week I crave for sushi and it didn’t help, I miss sushi zanmai even more.
We went to this Japanese restaurant in Crown called Nobu, a restaurant opened by a celebrated Japanese chef, Nobu Matsuhisa and Robert De Niro himself.


* Sushi bar, I just love sitting there taking a quick look at these sushi masters doing their thing in between my meal. (:


* Tuna Tataki with Tozasu $22


* New Style Salmon Sashimi $18.5


* Sea Urchin $10, Japanese Chu-Toro $18 if I’m not wrong , and King Fish $5.


* Black Cod with Miso $45.5 (boyf’s favourite)


* Lobster with Wasabi Pepper Sauce $60


* Kurobuta Pork Belly with Karashi Su Miso and Nashi pear $37

Dinner was great, especially the Tuna Tataki and Salmon sashimi. *orgasmic*
But we both agreed that we should have ordered something else instead of lobster and pork belly because there really isn’t much for us to rave about on both the dishes.
Maybe we should just stick with seafood next time but nonetheless I love the dinner.
The bill came up to about $250 and if you ask me if it’s worth the price, I cant say that it’s not because indeed the food is good.
But I’ll never like the idea that it is actually that expensive.
Since it’s the boy’s birthday, I guess it’s okaaaaayyyyyyyyy. (:

We came home after dinner and I surprised him with a cake and the present I bought him all the way from Malaysia. Which is a piece of art. Yes you heard me right, a piece of art.


* Birthday boy with the lousy birthday cake I bake when he went to class that afternoon.


* Tadaaaa!! Cute isn’t?? ngehehe, really look quite like the both of us :D

And of course, camwhore a little :P

As for his birthday party surprise, well………..
Long before his birthday I asked myself, what kind of surprise should I give him.
If you didn’t know, I love giving people surprises. It makes me happy (:
Anyway, two weeks ago my friend suggested to have a barbecue session at our place.
But I suggested the following week instead with the excuse that we are short of cash but in fact I secretly told them that it’s Ben’s birthday next week. (:
Everyone agreed and keep it as a secret from the birthday boy,and he still thought that it’s because we’re short of cash.

BUT! BUT! BUT!
This blur friend of mine, accidentally spill it out when we’re having our coffee.
my blur friend: next saturday barbecue right? for your birthday..
me: stare at him intensely.
my blur friend: no meh? i thought it’s for your birthday
me: staring at him even more intense my eyeballs almost fall off with the thinking that i’m gonna kill him anytime soon.
ben: huh. for my birthday meh. *looks at me*
me: (FML!!!)
my blur friend: ooooo……………ooooooo………..sorry.
me: kill me please.

i’m not sure if i wanted to kill him or myself. like O-M-G!!!
Pfft but nehmind I planned for a back up surprise right away. I secretly changed it to friday without the birthday boy noticing.
Informed everyone secretly, and even asked my blur friend to ask him out on friday itself so that i can stay home alone and prepare everything.
It was quite a mess due to the time constraint.

I prepared all the marinates the day before.
Beef, lamb, chicken, prawn, and squid. Typing it all out now here reminds me how painstakingly I prepared all of these.
And the most horrible of all, is no doubt the friggin squid.


* I was cutting the squid into half and half way through I saw something looking back at me. I shriek so loud and throw the eerie squid back into the sink. The squid ate the fish and it’s still inside WTF!!!! I know it’s just a fish but it really is uber disgusting.

Enough of the squid. On the day itself as I planned, boyf went out without me and I stayed home preparing for the food all day. My kitchen looks exactly like a war zone that day.


* let’s barbecueeeee.


* cooked creamy tomato spaghetti, baked mushroom, caesar salad, …..


* …… and baked egg, potato and cherry tomato.


* Man, I love the candles here in Melbourne I wanna buy them all home!! So special!!

Fat Ben, I’m such a good girlfriend right? *flips hair*
ngeheheheheheheh

Hippopo or Sharkie?

finally some free time to update.
yes, trying my very best to be a dedicated lousy blogger. :mrgreen:

as you know, i’ve been busy working for YES event last week and some other replacement jobs as well.
sigh, i was mad piss last friday.
have to make such effort to wake up extra earlier for some briefing but end up, briefing tak jadi.
well, fine. but bad news just have to come one after another.
was told that i actually do not have to work on that day. what!? you telling me i don’t have to work when i’m already there? :x awesome management, not!!

alright, fine. instead of earning money, it became spending money.
i definitely need some shopping at that very moment in order to calm myself down.
excuses? yeah maybe. and i felt extremely guilty after that for buying so much! :evil:

what are the consequences?
i have to work extra hard now to feel less guilty.
no matter how lazy i feel, i just have to go for work if there’s any.
unless there’s special occasion like birthdays!
so right now, what motivates me to work are all the stuff that i planned to buy.

have i told you i’m a shopaholic? and i don’t only shop for clothes.
the horror D:


* the special occasion i’m talking about. alvin always look cute, unintentionally. bwaha


* free lunch at Lot10. we ordered so friggin much, and there’s actually more. :)

My brother said it’s a waste of money but I don’t care I just need one and it is useful to me!
i wanna get a planner!!!!!! since forever, no joke.
and I’ve already picked mine, unless I come across a better one in these few days.


* Korean planners! So cute! i’m getting one for myself although it’s expensive. i don’t usually splurge on things but i ♥ planners. i ♥ notebooks, letters, papers. ngehehe

i prefer putting it down in my planner than saving it in my smartphone.
i’ll do both ways actually. (:

And i wanna get one of these to replace my old and dusty bolster.
been hugging it for more than ten years now.
these are sooooo cuddly from ikea. cute and cuddly, cute and cuddly :twisted:
but i don’t know which to choose.


* hippopo?


* or sharkie?

hippo is shorter, i cant throw my legs on it. but sharkie seems a little violent.
what say you?

and on an unrelated note this is my dog, Lola.

* isn’t she lovely? she’s a timid dog but adorable nonetheless.

right, finish rambling for the moment.
till then.

P.S: better tell me which cute and cuddly to chose!

i’ve put down so much on this blog of mine, my life is literally all written out on it.
not much interesting stuff but i do hope it helps to kill your time when you’re bored.

i’ve got a freelance job going on this week, time to get myself all busy again.
and also hopefully, more outing to entertain me.
so far, all is good. starting to enjoy myself with some friends again after loitering at home so much, surrounded by nothing but spider webs.
let’s just hope everything will finally fall back into place.

(:

Pastel Birthday Party ♥

anticipating my birthday party post? bwaha.
i was too lazy and cant be bothered to snap pictures with my loves-to-vibrate-camera, plus since there’s so many cameras snapping away that night i might as well not take part in it.
so i waited for the girls to upload pictures from that night and ‘steal’ it.

pictures are from vivien’s, susan’s, and natalie’s camera (:

poco cafe & atelier is the place we held our birthday party at.
a very cosy cafe i must say, and we booked the entire cafe that manage to fit in 30 pax.


* that’s cindy peeping out from the glass door and our pretty pastel colour helium balloooons :D


* birthday girls! ♥ me, susan, vivien, and cindy. friends for 10 years (:


* pink heart shape helium balloon! and vivien’s handmade polaroid which is really cute! ♥ hsin ye, susan, vivien, me, and ginny. (:


* yi kye, victor, mia, ian, and me.
* alvin looking cute with the happy birthday prop. but natalie and ginny is even cuter :3


* the sweet looking cupcakes i ordered from wondermilk, with all our names on it. ♥


* ahh, we girls look so happy :D me and vivien are laughing inside our heart cause i bought magic relighting candles that will relight instantly once you blow it off and i put it on cindy’s and susan’s cake. HAHAHA! it was really fun seeing the girls keep blowing off their candles. :D


* cake cutting time! (:


* group picture with the girls.


* and the boys! gavin looks funny with the heart balloons while paul, kye, and victor fools around with the large size polaroid.


* finally, i real polaroid picture of us and our cupcakes, with our name written on it but you cant see in this picture U_U.

a very big thank you to my 3 lovely birthday girls.
and not to forget to those who came and the lovely presents.
if i could turn back time, i wish i wasn’t so bothered by stuff that night so that i can really enjoy having them around me.
but nonetheless, i’m still happy (:

can you sense my laziness in this post? vivien’s post is a lot more hardworking than mine. HAHA!
do read hers if mine is not entertaining enough (:

have a good day! (:
