home sweet home ♥

of course, no place is better than the home i have in malaysia.
i wonder how it looks like now, how’s all the renovation going.

but for the mean time, this is the home i’m staying at melbourne.
which is friggin expensive i must say. i don’t get how people stay here in the city, the rent is like c-r-a-z-y.
four hundred per week, sampat!!

but they do have gym, swimming pool, sauna, and a very nice place for you to barbecue along with equipments.
so if you’re a gym person, maybe it sounds more bearable since you get to save up money by not signing up for gym outside.
still crazy no matter what.


* i actually really kind of like candles a lot.


* the third creature who stays in the house.


* the cosy corner. might need to shift the sofa cause we’re planning to get a ‘tv’. probably the only thing that’s missing from the house, a television.


* his workplace and also a temporary ‘tv’ to watch his stupid stephen chow movie and my awesome gossip girl.


* our small and simple dining table with (yes) pink chairs. my idea, of course. it can brighten up the house okay!! and a balcony door behind.


* a divider/bookshelf/a place to keep our shoes and yada yada. that’s our kitchen (my territory) behind, of course.


* entrance door, hello. and some berry berry important stuff which is all ze sauces and spices and whatnot. damn nice compartment can, so easy to take these sauces while i cook. (:


* neat and nice toilet, with our hand towels hanging. (: will be perfect if it’s a bathtub.


* and this is the bedroom, with nothing in it except the bed. i would love to have a side table with erm, a lamp. and that’s a built-in wardrobe with huge ass mirror. please ignore the jackets on the floor, too tired after clubbing to put them nicely. :X

how’s ze house?
a one bedroom apartment.
it’s small, sometimes i miss walking around a bigger home.
like how i can walk from my room to living room to kitchen then to my mom’s room, to my maid’s room back to my room in malaysia wtf.
here i can only walk in and out of the room, in and out in and out.
wanna play hide and seek also cannot larh.
but this home is pretty cosy. (:

if only i can put a green fake plant in the bathroom, it’ll be great.
fake plant can last forever and ever, damn worth it haha.
that’s all for now, i’m pretty sleepy already. plus i might need to stay up for football match, i better get some rest before i regret typing too much here.
have a good midweek people. (:

i is can cook too.

I wonder how long it’ll take to finally have internet in the house again.
It’s taking ages and it makes it so hard for me to blog ):

Plus I just transfered some pictures into the computer, it’s such a mess now.
Meanwhile, I’ll just bombard my post with some of my cookings (:


* tried to make ‘bak zam gai’ like how my mom cook it at home. was suppose to buy drumsticks only but I figured that it’ll be more worth it if I buy a whole chicken and that whole chicken almost killed me wtf. I thought they’ll clean all the intestine and everything else for me. I’m never buying a whole chicken again, damn hard to chop some more damnit.


* ben’s the chef, his chicken ala king. too much potato and not creamy enough :X


* mushroom minute steak. he claimed that his is too raw and for me, mine isn’t raw enough but other than that it taste pretty good too.


* why the face like that?


* tell me this looks good!! japanese pasta, ben said it taste a little like pasta zanmai. i is happy :D and it’s really easy to make.


* our dinner for tonight.


* black pepper beef


* green curry chicken, a little too spicy. other than that it’s pretty good.

i’m happy every time he tells me my cooking taste good.
i didn’t know i can actually cook cause as i remember my cooking taste like shit.
oklah not shitty but it doesn’t taste as good.
i love youtube, i learned almost everything from youtube itself.
my saviour, bwahaha.

cant wait to show mom i cooked all these, she wouldn’t believe it.
she must have miss me, she called last night but i was sleeping. ):
must talk to her tonight.

cooking is so fun omg omg omg!
ben asked why your life in melbourne only about cooking. haha

2nd and 3rd at Melbourne.

I find the need to force myself to blog or else all the pictures will pile up and I’ll get even more lazier.
Good news, Ben found a new place to stay like finally. It’ll be so much easier because I can unpack my clothes and whatnot so that it wont be so messy.
And also it’s easier for me to cook :D


*forced to take picture with my kermit, stuffed into his pocket.


*that thingy behind Ben, it’s some obstacle game where we go in and pass through all the obstacle. I don’t know how to explain but it’s fun AND expensive. 5 dollar per person that’s like what, Rm15!!!

Almost everything in Melbourne is expensive. You know those white bread like Gardenia, the longer ones they sell it for like 3 dollar plus here and that’s like…. almost Rm10.
I almost fainted. Like whatthehell, it’s just white bread man.
And each meal cost like 10 dollar per person, I rather cook.
Ben’s like, let’s go eat this, let’s go eat that and I’m like… er, don’t want larh so expensive. don’t want don’t want don’t want.


* Melbourne is interesting.


* and windy.

The first meal I cooked is prawn wanton, recipe from my aunt.


*It’ll be much better if the wanton skin isn’t that thick. And the mee we bought sucks, should just have wanton alone.


* garlic cheese baguette for breakfast and tomato egg drop soup, choy sam, and garlic shrimp for dinner.

How’s my cooking!? Looks good enough? haha.
I’m kind of addicted to cooking because it’s cheap and also it gives that bit of satisfaction when my food is edible.
Maybe it’s just the first few days, let’s see if I’ll get bored of it haha.

Ben forced me to go supper with him.


* at Stalactites, Lonsdale Street.


* he said it’s greek food and yes it taste bombastic, chicken and lamb with pita bread and different kind of sauce.

But I was about to die when he paid the bill, 40 dollar wtf!
This stupid (okay, it’s not stupid but still….) supper cost Rm120!!
I can eat like ten meals in Malaysia my goodness sake. It’s crazy.
I just cant help but said to him, please don’t bring me out for food. Please don’t eat out. We can cook, zzzzz.
I don’t care if he’s gonna pay or whatsoever, it is still very EXPENSIVE!

Home cook food sometimes cost only 5dollar for the both of us. See the difference.
We’re gonna eat out tomorrow for dinner because it’s our 3rd month together, no choice because he wants to.
Nothing more than 70 dollar for the both of us, that’s what I told him.
I said 50 at first but he said it’s hard to do. pfft ):

But I bought two cheap stuff today.
Bought a red pretty pumps for 10 dollar and a home slipper from cotton on for 2 dollar.
Bwahahahahaha! Loving my red pumps larhhhh! (:

In time for Moomba

So, if you asked me how’s Melbourne treating me so far, I can say that this place is really pretty good.
But not any better than my beloved Kuala Lumpur :P
I’m not quite use to the weather here, it’s pretty inconsistent.

It feels hot and stuffy during noon and it gets soooooo cold at night, I shiver and sneeze. Like right away once the wind tries to blew me off. The cold wind is insane and it’s not even winter yet. Goshes.


* Reached Melbourne on time to go for Moomba Festival :*)


* Hie there, I looked pretty bloated that day.


* This funfair is HUGE with lotsa games and it’s really fun. Cant compare with all the mini funfairs back at home.


* My kermit frog Ben won for me. There’s this really large kermit I wish to bring home but it’s too large, no point winning it. Cant bring it into the plane with me ): but this small one is good enough (:


* good times <3


* look at the ride, it’s quite insane really. Ben played, while I just wait for him to be done. I dare not.

Still feeling really really lazy, there’s no places I wanna go and I don’t even wanna eat out.
All I wanna do is to go for grocery shopping, come home and cook.
Haha, no idea since when I’ve become an auntie. Damn lazy can, I just wanna snuggle under blanket.

More to blog but again, L A Z Y.
I wanna learn how to cook now from Youtube, so tadaa.
:*)

Hola from Melbourne!

Hie hie!
First blog post from Melbourne.
Yes, I changed my flight to a few weeks earlier from originally planed and here I am, already in Melbourne.
Flight was okay except that it was real cold, I cant stop sneezing and I cant quite fall asleep.
There’s a baby who keeps crying sitting right behind of me, yes that terrible.

I’m still feeling pretty worn out, sleepy and all.
I’ll do a proper post soon, I hope I have the time and my laziness wont kick in once again.


* here is my boyf and my new companion. damn i love my kermit bwahahah :D

One day at Malacca.

Call me slowpoke, it’s been almost a month since Ben left and now only I got around to post our Malacca one day trip.
Yes, I’m that lazy when it comes to editing pictures from trips.

The last time we went to Port Dickson, he wanted to let me try his hometown’s famous beef noodle but we were too late by the time we arrived.
So this time round, we tried our luck again.


* Famous beef noodle at Pasar Besar Seremban, can pretty much smell the aroma when I walked pass.


* So much more different from the beef noodle at KL. Both have their own distinguish flavour and I enjoyed eating both. What’s special about Seremban’s beef noodle is that they add peanut and sesame into it and their sauce is thick and special. The beef and the sauce just blends so well together. And the noodle we ordered is Seremban’s ‘lou shu fun’ which is also different from those we see at KL. Seremban’s ‘lou shu fun’ looks more like asam laksa’s noodle.
All in all, the combination is just great and it’s really tasty. I am so gonna eat this again. :9

We both shared a bowl for fear that our tummy will not be spacious enough for other Malacca’s food if we ordered a bowl for each of us.
And as usual, our first stop is Hoe Kee’s chicken rice.


*dayumnn, i’m missing all the foods!!


* fooled around at jonker street.


* i bought this boxing thingy, works quite well when i have a back pain.


* stopped by for eggy ice-cream.


* Rm3 sour plum flavour *refreshing* (I think the ice-cream on Ben’s tshirt is more interesting.)

We both wanted to go to Baba Nyonya museum so badly but I guess we wasted too much time at Jonker Walk, by the time we reached they’re already close. I was so sad, I wanted to go so so badly. ):


* Plan B, Cheng Ho’s museum which is pretty interesting. Didn’t know that he’s that powerful back then.


* And this museum is a lot larger than I thought, it feels like a maze inside.

After getting to know the great Cheng Ho we went to Stadhuys for a walk.


* Haha, my cute Romeo ♥ (:

Decided to look for my brother for dinner afterwards and we had a little argument before that. Ben wanted to take trishaw back to our car because we parked pretty far but I insisted that we should walk back because it’s expensive. What a stupid argument that almost ruined our day. Pfft, I cant help being stingy.

Fetched my brother and he suggested this beef bak kut teh.


* Actually it’s not a beef bak kut teh, just that they sell bak kut teh and beef in claypot but people called it beef bak kut teh. It’s pretty good, especially if you eat it in cold weather. But I doubt if Malacca will ever be cold.

Last stop is at Nadeje for their Mille Crepe which I’ve already blogged about.

* A very comfortable place.


* It’s insane we’re already so full yet we ordered Mille Crepe and my brother ordered Salad. Pricing is really reasonable for their ambiance and food which taste pretty good.
Accidentally saved my picture as low quality, hence this really low quality picture.


* And lastly some pictures from Ben’s iphone.

We’re running out of time because Ben’s leaving or else we’re gonna stay a night there. Too bad. ):
I wanna go to Melaka Wonderland so badly!! It’s like A’Famosa or Sunway Lagoon but much cheaper and lotsa slides!!


* Just look at the slides!! ohmaigawd!! I don’t care if it’s lousier than the both mentioned above cause I’m bored of them. And this is cheap!
Rm26 on weekdays and Rm30 on weekends.

I’m so gonna go!

Sweet Escape to Avillion Cove

Last week, Ben suggested that we go to Port Dickson for a short trip.
Of course, I’m up for it. He wanted to stay at water chalet but it’s kind of pricey so I tried googling for a cheaper place to stay.
Found Avillion Cove and I didn’t actually know there’s a place like this in my country.
Fall in love with it once I saw the pictures on their website.
I just love seeing all this yatch.


* Wasn’t sunny the day we arrived.


* Lovely yatch waiting to greet us :D

Guess my picture did not do much justice. Maybe you should take a look at their website here.


* Our premium room. I wanted a deluxe because it’s cheaper but it’s fully booked. U_U


* This premium room can actually accommodate up to 6 person. The room is Rm200++ per night, if divide by 6 person, one have to pay roughly Rm40+ which is pretty reasonable for me. The room is spacious enough, clean and looks nice at the same time.


* My crappy nude face before swimming. I wonder how many times more I have to disappoint this guy because I cant stay in the pool for long due to the temperature. I really cant stand the cold but this time I’m slightly better, I really did swim. :wink:


* This is my…


* …poser boyfriend. hahaha

Get to rest awhile after swimming and shower before heading out to Seremban for our dinner.
No gps needed as his hometown is at Seremban.


* Brought me to try Seremban’s oh-so-famous baked crab but he actually did not know which restaurant to go.


* Taste good? Nah, normal.


* Went back to our hotel’s bar for a drink and pool session after dinner. Wanted to go for a walk by the beach but I was too tired. End up watching some scary movie in our room. I’m such a ‘potong’ girlfriend, haha.

Oh ya, saw this funfair on our way to dinner and decided to stop by when we’re heading back to hotel.
Ben: Why is the funfair on my dad’s land.
Me: Har!? T_______T”’

I don’t know how to react wth. But that funfair is a fail funfair. Big time.
Sigh, the thought of missing this funfair during March makes me a sad girl, wuwu.

Remaining pictures are from Instagram.

* Imagine that, we rather play with Instagram than the rides at this funfair.


* Hahahaha. I can laugh all day looking at this picture.

Yeah, back to the movie. Slept late from watching the movie thus waking up late and skipped our free breakfast! D:
Hur! Damn sad can, I love breakfast buffet. ):
Ended up paying for some sandwich.
Went over to a beach for some kite flying session after checking out :D


* KITES!!!


* Me and our kite :D


* How come he knows how to fly a kite?


* But I don’t.


* heart this picture though I look kinda chubby!

Such a relaxing trip yet fun at the same time. I’m gonna do the kite flying again someday :D
If only we had more time to stay there, it will be even greater.
A very nice place to just chill, sit back and relax.

Ending this post with a 007 picture. HAHAHAHA!!

2 nights in Cheratingsss !

Cherating post is up! (:
Most of the pictures were candid.
The trip to Cherating was okay but it’ll be so much better if we can enjoy the beach more, with sun.
It was gloomy, almost all the time plus drizzling.
But no one cares bout the rain, still enjoy as much inside our own private pool.


* The first two who jumped into the pool. Victor and Ben.


* AAAAAA! every time when i’m in the pool i do not want to wet my hair but see…..


* Everyone’s attacking Alvin, bwaha!


* I like this picture! Bryan looks so cute.


* Round 1!!


* The dry ones.


* Forever cheeky Gavin.


* Baboon’s ass Ben.

Woke up early the next day, as in super early to catch the sun rise because someone wanted to.


* But as you can see, this is a fail sun rise watching. Nothing can beat the one at Redang!


* It’s still pretty dark when we’re on the beach.


* (:


* Luckily I cover my face. D:


* Since we’re already awake, of course breakfast must not be miss. So happy when I saw croissant and cinnamon danish. Pastries makes me happy (:

Went back to bed after breakfast, haha. fail.com
Initially, I wanted to prepare breakfast for them but I was too tired, I slept while everyone’s awake.
Hurried to the beach after that, since it’s not raining. Weather forecast said there’s gonna be thunderstorm.
Thank god it isn’t that accurate.


* Boys and their ball.


* Victor seems like having fun playing with the sand, haha.


* Sorry for the butt crack (HAHA) but we’re actually catching crabs. I had so much fun catching crabs :D


* See closely, there’s mini crabs in it.


* This is epic!!


* Everyone looking at the crabs again, hahaha.


* Then it turns to everyone looking at Victor showering.


* And I’m gonna end this post with a picture of 3 guys in a public swimming pool.

Swimming, swimming, and swimming.
I was pretty worn out from the trip. Lack of sleep and everything else.
I had fun, I did.

This is a trip that changed everything.
(What a sentence to end my post, lol)
