my long outdated post

it's been a while since I've last posted on my blog. If only it's like twitter where i can just tweet and then it's up.

These few months have been a challenging month. Work, relationship and friends. But as I'm older, I learn to not take things for granted. Family is the best support that you can get, followed by your very very good friends who have showed you support when you're in need of them - you know who you are *bighugz*

Also, just last 3 weeks, my uncle; dad's cousin whom we are closer to than our real uncles passed away because of his heart condition. We thought it was from sudden attack, but it seems like he was TOOOOO STUBBORN to see a doctor for his chest pain. Worst was my cousin who is getting married in 2011 and he was suppose to give her away but because of this he will not be able to and also my cousin who is also my uncle's princess - apple of the eye whatever you call it is going to feel the void during her wedding which has been brought forward to 2010. What this has taught me, is to NOT take our health lightly, if there's pain, headache occuring often etc, PLS GO CONSULT A DOCTOR.

These past few months have taught me so much, and the most important lesson I've learnt is never to take things lightly - work, life, health. You never know what to expect, so live like life is short and enjoy every moment to your fullest with your love ones and let them know that they are loved every single day.

Love you all......and here's a pic to show that I'm still alive.... ^_^

I miss my LONG hair.... :(

I'm Officially two nine

Days, weeks, months and years goes by without much to do. I've had my b-day just last week and now, it seems like it's going to be hubz's birthday soon.

We had dinner with friends on my actual day and NO, I wasn't wearing my B-day suit either. Went to the city after work, and waited until time for dinner.

We went to Iori, a small little japanese restaurant in Civic and yummmm they serve delicious Japanese food. Hubz and I ordered the set dinner, which is awesome, different variety of appetizers, main course and dessert. David and Theng had wagyu beef and makenouchi and Zeljko had the beef teppanyaki.



If you noticed, there were appetizers and half eaten appetizers and dessert, but no main course. The reason was, we were too hungry, and totally forgot about it until later. ^_^

But we had a good meal, awesome company and the last picture above were presents from the Wongs ( chocolates, marshies and the fondue set) and Zelkjo ( doggie card and ferrero rochers).

Not forgetting hub'z present as well, which I didn't realize I didn't take a picture of it, but he actually got me my Chanel Chance EDP Perfume - 100ml, how generous can he be huh, coz the freakin perfume is damn expensive. The price is almost the same as another longchamp bag that I got. Hehehe!!

When I went back to M'sia, I actually got 2 new bags. I was given to my by hub'z aunty and the other one was given to me by my Parents. I love them so much....... but then they are spoiling me to bits. I'm two nine, working and independent, and yet, my parents spoils me to bits. I miss home, I miss my family and my Cheszter.

The day I left Penang, was the most miserable. I cried and my mom was crying and bro was 'sniffling' and my Cheszter, just didn't know anything. Looked at me with sad puppy eyes and when I said goodbye to him, he didn't even wag his tail. Maybe he was still 'steam' from his sleep but then mom told me later, he actually waited for me at night when I didn't come back. He waited for me at the door, and everytime he heard noise outside, he quickly rush to the door, hoping that it's me, coming back home so that he can sleep with me. He waited for me till late, until dad actually asked Cheszter to come in to the room to sleep :(

Anyway, talking about this makes me feel homesick again. Life suckz but then we can't have the best of both world. So, in the mean time, I have to make do with what I have for now.

Penang, good food and awesome memories

Time has passed by too fast. Am back in Canberra again. feeling homesick and all but work is work. I have to put on a brave front for all, when i'm longing to be home, with my dog, family and friends and not here in this dead city.

I can't wait to be back, but will I make a trip back? Not sure..... should be 2 years down the road. That's more depressing as I think about it each day. I want to make a trip back, to celebrate my Big sar 0 birthday with family and friends, but I'm not sure whether I'm that lucky to make a trip back that time. All I can hope is time passes by faster.... but never the case.

But then, I had the most incredible time back in Penang. With friends and family. With my Cheszter and doing what I do best...EAT EAT EAT EAT!!!!

The food above was ordered by myself and my bestie. The 2 of us must be damn hungry coz we ordered nearly 8 dishes but tah pau some home, coz we were too greedy. ^_^

lizzie my bestie since high school

Also, the reason why I had to come back was because of my SIL's wedding ceremony, so one week was gone like that just because of the wedding preparation etc. Second week, just meeting friends and spending time with my family, and yes that includes my precious Cheszter.

Had to go KL for Hubz business meeting with his bosses, so there are pictures of my KL trip, but then nothing much, coz this time, I didn't have enough courage to be a cw. I guess with the lack of cw in Canberra, I lost my "touch"... OH NO!!!!!! I also didn't have enough time to hang out with my PCD. Only had to spare a few hours of lunch/coffee with them.



Of course, there's also dad's suprise birthday party, which we all pulled it off. As usual, busy entertaining people till I didn't take pictures again. Luckily my cousz was awesome, and she helped me with the photo taking while I was worrying about the food and the guest. I only had 2 plates of food that night minus the ice kacang and dad's birthday cake - lychee flan from Ritz... yumyum! The green tea cake was gone...... and everyone was raving about how good that blurdy cake is :(

I even forgot about the seafood buffet spread, which I'm suppose to take a picture with. Oh well, maybe next time for my big 3-0 celebration then.




I also did some serious shopping when I was back in Penang. I went to KL and shop till I drop. The purple dress I wore for my SIL's wedding is from Tangoo in Pavilion and it cost me a bomb. Of course, not letting hubby know. If not, I also kena bomb! From the picture above, you will also see a very familiar bag, which I got from the Gardens, hehehe.... Another secret indulgence for myself. Before leaving for Canberra, I settled my credit card debts that I've spend in Penang using my daddy dearest "supp" card. The thing is, my dearest dad and mom did not even take the money but gave it back to me. For my own use, so thank you dad and mom for giving me the best time of my married life and also for the shopping presents - 'essentials' that I've purchased throughout my stay.

Love you all and am missing you all very dearly. xoxoxo

The New Arrival

my old friend from college has just become a dad. Congratulations Selwyn & Ida!!!

She's a bundle of joy and she looks cheeky like the dad and also at times, she does look like Ida.

Her name, Esrene Ern-Chi Siu... how cool is that name huh? I can't wait to see the bub and am waiting for her to grow up so that I can dress her prettily like a princess.

The parents even have a blog for her @ babysiu.blogspot.com . As the dad is busy and the mom is still recuperating, I didn't manage to see pictures of her but hopefully daddy selwyn will be able to upload the pictures soon.

The picture I have of her when her daddy announce her arrival is as below. Look at the pinky face.... I'm SO in LOVE.. with the bub of course. ^_^

Alcohol and Being A Minor in a Bottle Shop

It was Friday, the day to unwind and relax. Hubz and me went to do our grocery shopping coz we want to stay in during the weekends.

After shopping for our groceries, we decided to buy a few bottles of wine to chill out after our dinner, so we went to this bottle shop. Was happily looking around for our wines - my bubbly, it started raining heavily, so we queued up to pay.

When it came to my turn, i happily put the bottles on the counter and took out the money. Then the cashier mumbled something, so I thought it was how are you blah blah blah. So I smiled and returned his greetings. Then he asked me, I need identification from you before i can allow you to buy the alcohol. So, I was like F****, I don't have any ID with me. So hubz, took out his driving licence, but they wouldn't accept it as they think I'm UNDERAGED!!!!!! WTFFFF!!!!!!!!

I was desperate to show him any ID i have that time, but the only ID I have was the Malaysian ID, which I don't know why I was even carrying that. The cashier, did not accept it and insists that I have to show proof. He didn't even let hubz buy his wine, even though Hubz showed his ID. MTF!!!

Everyone was busy "kaypo-ing" on my 'case' d. So i was so pek chek. Then the aussie bloke asked me if I'm M'sian, then started telling everyone in the queue that Malaysian women doesn't age till they are after 50... blah blah blah. The reason he knows is because he used to be a bodyguard for a Malaysian Diplomat blah blah blah. Keep telling me, honey, it's alright. The guy is just doing his stuff blah blah blah.

I was so embarassed and piss off at that point d. The supervisor don't even allow me to go through at all. At the end of the day, we have to leave our wines at the counter. Blurdy hell.
I mean, I really cannot blame that cashier as he was just doing his job. But i'm blaming myself for not carrying ID with me. ARrrgghhh....

The people at the queue thinks it's a compliment coz I still look young... for your information, the cashier think I was 15. Eh Hello Junior, I'm older than you by at least 5 years plus leh. But oh well, it shows I look young, but on the other side, I'm pissed coz I cannot drink my bubbly.
:(

Blogging Mo-Jho

I'm not sure if it's because of age or because of the lack of inspiration and totally boring lifestyle that stop me from blogging almost every other day. Life's a pretty predictable cycle here now. wake up - work-cook-wash dishes-watch tv/internet-sleep and the cycle goes on. Is this god's punishment for being an adult now?

On the brighter side, I had a good Christmas break even though it's way overdue. It was all about good food, friends and did i say.. good food? ^_^

Here are some pictures of the Melbourne purchases as well as some party pics.

As you can see the 2 pictures below, I'm a huge fan of gucchie.... ^_^

I bought this dress for some fancy dinner, but then again, I've got no occasion to wear this dress to and no fancy place in Canberra to dress up. :(

I feel so sad that I don't have much life to post about anymore. I miss my babes back home and I can't wait to be back. Another 2 more months and I would be on the plane flying home to see my dog, my family, friends and relatives and of course... FOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!

Oh... do you know there's this Korean version of F4? The movie is called Boys Over Flowers or Boys Before Flowers... can't be too sure as I have 2 versions and I'm not fluent in Korean at all. Watching them makes my heart skips almost at every alternate beat **sighz** People ask me why am I so crazy over Korean shows? I don't even know the answer myself, so how can I answer them?

If you like the Taiwanese version of Hana Yori Dango - Meteor Garden, you will love this better.



One of my babes, asked me a question just now. What do I do during the weekends? If it was back home, I would surely be out with my babes for coffee/lunch/dinner/drinks etc but here in dead C*, it's housework, grocery shopping and window shopping. My life is now as "hermit" as it can be..........
