Ystd, devi went to meet up with dinie and anju in midvalley. So chin yeong n me tagged along cuz we only had one class in the morning!~~

We had a great time 'girl-bonding', just me, cy, devi and anju. She studying in ireland and is back for holidays!! Btw, fyi, she was my roommate when we were in intec.^^

Anyway, we went for lunch in Italiannies, and it was the first time i had it @ The Gardens. I kind of like the interior deco and table setting. I took picture of the table as proof!haha..

Not bad eh?? And the best part was we had a SET FOR FOUR, comprising mussels as appetizer, angel's hair, pizza and chicken fillet as main course, and raisin bread pudding as dessert. OK OK i know, i don't rmbr any of the names except the dessert.

Well, i din really like the mussels, tried a lot of better ones, but yea, cannot deny the portion is large la. So tat's a plus point.=) Anywa, here's some pics of all our dishes.*winks*






Later on, we met up with dinie, who was with juliana, but only had a very short time to talk, cuz we were rushing to times square to watch Imax the Dark Knight!!hehe..but i know la many people watch d.=( Anyhow, we managed to take a group photo, in New Zealand Naturals.


We managed to make it to Times Square by 6, although we only went to get a taxi at 5.15 and the taxi din wan to send us there! But yea, he did stop us near VI so we walked to times square from there.

Special thanks to Giri, for booking all our tickets.=) There were like 30 of us, n it was pretty hard to gather everyone for group photo with them walking here n there! So, below was the best we could do..hehe..

Oh, btw, i don think i have to comment on Dark Knight as semua pun sudah tengok. So, i shall proceed with our pretty much failed surprise for poh yee in times square.

First up, i asked wen yi n shen yang to go get the cake, then meet up with hang chuan (poh yee's bf) then only go kenny rogers, our supposed place of celebration. BUT, kenny rogers' waitress told us we had to wait 45 minutes for chicken, so we had to change destination. We went to secret recipe, BUT was denied entry oso. The guy said 'take away only'. Tat time was only 9pm!

We ended up in Food N Tea. N throughout our searching for place to eat, i kept having phone conversations with wen yi as the place kept changing, n there was problem with the cake. I guess poh yee got suspicious la that i was constantly on the phone.*sob*

Anyway, the real surprise was awaiting at home.*giggles* I gave brendan our house key n asked him to gather all the people we invited at 11pm. BUT, brendan called me wen we were in the lrt, n poh yee got suspicious cuz i walked away to answer the phone. Arghh...

Nevertheless i guess it turned out ok. Ard 30 ppl came.=) We bought her a mushroom soft toy, a gift from housemates. N we shared another gift with the rest aka cosmetic stuffs.=)

A photo of housemates.=D

Here's a group pic.=) The first photo we took din turn out cuz my hair was flying. It was quite bad la..hehe.. N they made a conclusion that it was bcuz my hair is light.-_-"

There I was 3 weeks ago in my office and my apartment contemplating on whether to travel to Sydney. I told myself I should and I will after those long promises since last year to my very good old buddy Davin ( I sound like a countryman). Having myself not realizing his absence in this website, I was determined to meet my fellow friend, on the 19-21july. Prior to this trip, i had all those dramas of getting the tickets and the right hour to push off ( still wished that my flight tickets were cheaper frm Melb-Sydney). U know, I was told by not few people that Sydney had nothing much to do, I realised that not only beauty lies in the eye of beholder but also experiencing different city lies in the eye, mind and soul of a beholder. very deep….. Sydney was most enjoyable !

To end all these new realization and discoveries I have found in me, finally, I calmed myself down and to come to an understanding that it was not the city that fascinated me the most but it was truly about the company I had during those 3 days 2 nights with my friend. We were sooo chatty !! WE talked and laughed oh-so-very-loud the first thing we do in the morning ! without even brushing our teeth. I guess youth has done us well given that we were like a source of energy in the early morning bus we took from the airport when I arrived. I mean the moment we laid our eyes on each other in the airport. WE were on the verge of shouting with laughter (that is the only way I can think of to express the moment). Could you even imagine how loud it would be if Davin and Patricia in the same room?…..My goodness dont even get there to think of what will happen if Pat, Davin, CM, MJ and Alvin in the same room… . . . ahhh…those were good old days.

Alrighty,moving on, once reached in Syd I was supposed to head back home to rest.Well..that didnt quite worked out as Dav and I were very much energized when we talked about ACS so we then head to the town centre! And from a very far distance I took this shot of the famous Opera House.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At that point we were starving so we didnt stop at anywhere but went straight to Pancakes at The Rocks with these great food

(The Chicken Caesar Salad) Simply Amazing~~

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then when we were down to the MAIN !!!

We ate literally like pigs !

Notice that I did not mention anything about the pancakes in our dishes…and also no pics to prove that we did order it for our dessert…. hmmph, that’s cause by the time, we finished these two dishes we were so full that we forgot to take a pic of the dessert and it taste ok even though it was suppose to be good. During the meal, both of us kept on thanking God for what He has provided and how faithful He has been to all of us. We both were so touched and amazed by Him cuz we would have never imagined that both of us can meet up in SYDNEY !! that’s like half way across the world….He must have known that we would love those food at Sydney

After that we took some photos of the area around the Rocks.

That’s just around the corner of where we had our food. And there was a handikraft market going on with loud and friendly ppl !

oh, one thg I must point out I m with the Westpac Bank in Australia….and to my surprise and surprise (it’s double) they have a WESTPAC MUSEUM !! gosh..and it is located right next to where I took the pic above. Here goes,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am still ignorant of what is this wall about…. 

 

But we did take a pic together here regardless!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok, fast forward to somethg more exciting about syd ! the cupcakes !! They are not only tiny, they are also delicious and pretty…but the most important thg they taste so good that you want people to take you home ! HAHAHAHAHA !!

From outside the shop…on Pitts Street.

 

Aren’t they pretty?……

From the bottom left : Carrot, Green Tea and Banana.

Guess what are our favorites ? See how well you barghers know us ? *WinkSS **

last week, my highway and transportation engineerin lab did traffic volume studies at the main entrance of uniten. it is basically a study to determine the number of vehicles goin in and out uniten’s main entrance in an hour time. this was borin, as all we did was to press on a mechanical hand tally counter whenever a vehicle, let’s say a motorcycle, passes by.

this week, it’s somethin different. actually, there isn’t much of a difference as it is still equally borin i would say. come on, how interestin can it be to stand by the side of a road with vehicles zoomin past you, and the sun is givin you a hard time to control your sweat?

i started off by measurin the distance of 50m between two points, with an equipment called measuring wheel.

man, i looked funny =.=”

technically, we have to take down the duration a target vehicle takes to reach from 1 point to another, then divide the constant distance with that period of time. we all learnt that in physics, remember? speed is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change in position, often expressed as distance d traveled per unit of time t.

how nice if all my lab “experiments” are like this. we can easily get it done in just 15 minutes, and spend the remainin time talkin over a cup of teh tarik.

God, i need a fridge in the apartment..
and what i need even more is internet connection..
amen.

without these luxuries, out foolpoof way to prevent rotting was to play cards.
black jack izzit? i think...
anyway, i am so disconnected from my family n other friends..
and i cannot pacify myself by emotional eating because i dont have a fridge to store chocchip-mint ice cream.
*sob*

btw, i came back from sitiawan with a marriage proposal from one of my students.. so sweet rite.. haha

here's a shoutout to sean for rescuing me from the big flying bug that was in my room in the middle of the night.
damn dat bug, so big,ugly and worse flying all over my room. gross..
and it made this really weird crackling sound.
damn i was scared sh*tless and went to knock on sean's door for help..
dengan selamba he came to my room,
grab a tissu paper
and pick that bugger off my phone pouch
and dump it into the toilet
and flush it to death!!!
DIE fiend die!!
he's a saviour.. either that or he's used to saving his sis from cockroaches.
still thanks a bunch!!!

btw, met tl the other day and he,cm and i went to midvalley and walked around for few hrs.. did not watch movie but while we were queing for tickets we met teik june.

that's for now. pray that we will get internet and fridge asap
