[ 3 days grace ] pain
Took a day off for Lunar New Year... Feeling rather lazy in the morning (cos I still haven't started tidying my room!)... so I ended up spending most of my morning playing digital piano - Canon D!
During lunch time I watched "The Prestige" while having my lunch, but I just couldn't get into it at all... I think the weather was getting better and I just wanted to get out there to meet up with the Sun?? ... heeeee ...And off I went to High-Point to shop and I saw a pairs of white shoes, but they don't have my size!!! ...URGH!!)... I'll hunt it down in city this week...
I spent nearly 1hr ++ at Borders Bookshop... Enjoying a cuppa Latte while reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom... Managed to finish reading it while I was there!! ...The book is quite easy to read... I saw this book last week and the title captured my attention... Thought I should read a few chapters but to my surprise too I managed to finish reading the whole book!
Anyway, I bought "Tuesdays With Morrie" by the same author today... Gary's recommendation... and I read the first few pages, and I like it... I'm sure it's one of those book that I'd wanna keep...
I also bought "The Buddha, Geoff and me" by Edward Canfor-Dumas... Kelvin lend me this book the other day and I'm still reading it at the moment... I just couldn't stressed how much I love this book... I found myself so connected to Geoff (the person in the book)... It's a book full of gold... and I read it slowly because there's always things for me to digest and think before I move on to next page... I love this kinda books that makes me think... (just like "The Philosophy Gym" by Stephen Law... It's another book which make me think - in different manner!)
Anyway, I could see myself slowing down my life and started to do more reading again... I'll have more time for myself... I'll have more time for my body to recover... I'll slow down... I'll start doing some exercise (I went swimming today!!)... I'll start eating healthy... I'll start listening to my body... I'll start to be good to myself...
You know what? ...The word "BUSY" in Chinese is "忙"... and if we cut them into half and separate both character, it will read "Heart + Dead"...
Slow down... Slow down...
Slow down to smell the flowers...
Slow down to feel the breeze...

Lunar New Year - Crown
[ hinder ] lips of an angel
This time round I beaten him for once!! ...but that's because he gave me 20points head start and he actually set up a lot of balls for me to hit... So kind huh!! ...Anyway, I still need to work on my posture and aiming skills... I like playing Snooker than playing pool...
Well, we left around 5pm as he has family dinner to attend, and so was I... I actually didn't expect to meet up with him today, cos he has a big family here in Melb and today is the 1st day of Lunar New Year and he was meant to spend it with his family and relatives instead... but he came out to spend the afternoon with me... which makes me feel a very special indeed... =) ...
Coming week, I'll be starting my treatments and I believe things will start to change then... We, will change... I, will change... It's time to end the game this few days... cos I have already gotten more than I should have taken... and it's more memorable to end it when it is still at it's peak...
(Still loving this song... Still playing on my play list all the times... Still think he's an angel sent down to distract me from the living nightmares that soon to come...)
Today is the FIRST day of Lunar New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year everyone!!! 恭喜恭喜!! 恭喜发财!!
Lunar New Year doesn't mean too much to me nowadays, as we don't have any relatives/friends whom we could celebrate with... Every Lunar New Year would remind me of how fun and happy it used to be when we were still living in Msia. We had lotsa relatives and friends to celebrate with... We played firecrackers... We ate lotsa cookies... We worn our new outfit to welcome the New Year... We played card games and mahjong with our beloved cousins... We CELEBRATED with style!!
Anyway, received an sms and went out to meet up at 1230pm... Went to Crown Casino to check out the Lunar New Year celebrations... Not as good as the previous years... and it was too hot too (38 Celsius Degree again)... Went into Casino to walk around, and there wasn't any movies that suit our time... So we went back to Footscray to play Snooker again...Today is the FIRST day of Lunar New Year!
Happy Lunar New Year everyone!!! 恭喜恭喜!! 恭喜发财!!

Lunar New Year Eve - Sunshine
[ hinder ] lips of an angel
Finally had the chance to watch one of the movie which I've always wanted to watch - Bichunmo. It was not as good as I expected it to be... Well, I probably should have watched it when it first came out during 2000... I probably would have thought it was good back then...
Anyway, I fell asleep a few times watching it on my comfy bed as the storyline is kinda predictable and it was so hot in Melb (38 Degree Celsius)!!
It's one of those day that I actually felt like I should have gone out instead of staying at home... Sorta suggested to a friend to go Crown Casino or BoxHill as there's Lunar New Year celebrations tonight... So off we went after dinner... It was crowded but there's nothing much to see though... Not as many stalls as the previous few years... Probably it was too hot, yeah?!
Received an SMS which made my night much more interesting... I drove to Sunshine to meet up and went to Sunshine's temple... It was so crowded as there's so many Vietnamese there... Squeeze into the temple to pray... Watched a little bit of Dancing Dragons and saw a little Fire Crackers...
Spending Lunar New Year Eve at Sunshine reminded me of Malaysia so much... Many families and houses light up Fire Crackers like nobody cares (it's actually illegal in Australia)... There was polices and securities making sure the traffic flows throughout the night, but they didn't bother the Fire Crackers at all...
I missed Malaysia's LNY celebrations...
I missed my friends, and I missed my beloved cousins...

Memorable Valentine's Day
[ hinder ] lips of an angel
It's Valentine's Day today!! ...Reached office and handed out all the beautiful roses to all the girls in my Dept as well as my manager, Wendy and Elaine... They loved it!!
Well, I left office during noon for another appointment... Went to the wrong hospital and had to rush to the correct ones! ...How careless huh!!!? ...Anyway, as I expected... I wouldn't know what kinda arrangements until PET scan result comes out... and the appointment for PET scan is March... *sigh*
Anyway, I didn't manage to give him a rose last night, and I didn't feel like giving him today at all... It's like THAT spontaneous moment is long gone and I don't feel right to do it anymore, even though he said he'll wanna have it if it has rotten or overdue...
I told him I was leaving work early cos I had an appointment... and that's when I found out he actually sent me flowers but the delivery hasn't arrived... What a pity... He wasn't very happy and that's when I decided to buy some Sunflowers (everyone knows I love Sunflowers and that shall remind him of me! ...haha)... And then NEW IDEAS started to flow in... (Special thanks to Kelvin for helping me arrange the beautiful Sunflowers)
Anyway, to cut the story short... I told him I was going to leave "something" on his car so that when he could get it when he finished work... Due to traffic jam, I thought I wasn't going to make it to his car before him did, as I wasn't that familiar with how to get to his train station... Anyway, I was pretty lucky that I made it and got there early... *woohoo*... I then put lotsa Yellow Post Notes to stick around his car with some instructions to where to find the "thing"... and I drove to the side lane to hide... hehe
He arrived 5 mins later (the time was indeed so tight, that I had butterflies in my tummy!!!!)... He called me on the phone, and we both laugh becos he was quite surprised to see his car was full of Yellow Post Notes... Quite a scene and lotsa people turning heads... haha... And he started to look around his car, up and down and below to find the thing I told him I left for him... and he kept telling me on the phone that he couldn't find it and asked if it was possible that someone has took it? ...I was hiding nearby and I was laughing hard cos it was hilarious to see him kept looking underneath his car and around his car like a lost soul...
Unfortunately I couldn't use my phone to take photos or video at that moment because he was on the line talking to me while doing his search... URGH!!!! ...Anyway, I then slowly walked towards him and had my Sunflowers hide behind my back... As I walked closer, he then saw me... and we both laughed and I gave him the Sunflowers and he gave me a big warm hug... People was watching, and one driver drove pass and honked us... I'm such a genius romantic, ain't I!!!? ...
Anyway, we stayed there and talked a little before we both went separate ways... It's a cool Valentine's Day... I'm sure we all have had some memorable ones in our past... but this year to me, is the most memorable ones, because I've never done something such cool before, and the funniest thing is that... we are closed but we are not lovers... and I'm loving the fact that we are not lovers but we could do things like this without any worries... =)
I guess we are a little bit like the movie "Love Me If You Dare" (original French titled "Jeux d'enfants")... We both do challenge each other at times and it's always game times... as it's the journey that counts... =)

Valentine's Eve
[ beyonce ] irreplaceable
Left work early for an appointment...
Quite uncomfortable knowing too much details... understand more of how it travels... understand the chances... and knowing what's the worst outcome... yes... scares me...
There's more arrangements and busy schedules in the coming weeks and future... I'm fully prepared... Just couldn't wait to start all that so that I could feel good again...
Went to buy a bunch of Roses because tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and I wanna give all the girls in my Dept one each... For I love them to bits and i hope they'll find love soon!! ...(all of us are still single, and only one 23yo is married)...
Good food comforts me... We went to Malaya Inn at Doncaster for dinner... I was fine, I am prepared, I am good, and I am full after dinner... yet my body didn't feel that way, as my tummy upset again... I guess my body and my mind doesn't agree at all... I guess I must have boxed my emotion and feelings away from my mind, but deep down I'm still feeling upset and nervous, hence my tummy hasn't been feeling well? ...hmmmph...
Suddenly wanted to pass him a rose... It was a spontaneous thoughts... It's too risky to pass him a rose tomorrow (Valentine's Day)... Hence, if not now, then never... I thought... and unfortunately, he couldn't come and pick it up due to he was somewhere else with his dad fixing something... Oh well, it's not meant to be then... =/
Arrived home, dad saw the flowers that Kelvin gave me (beautiful Roses)... and he told me there's some more in the living room... "Some More"?? ...I didn't get it... So, I went to living room to find out what he meant by "some more"... Woooaah!!! ...Gerbera Bouquet!!! ...I didn't expect that!! ...It was from sweet Gerald... *^_^* ...He said Gerbera was the closest to Sunflowers that he could find... =) ...Thanks Gerald... (Now everyone knows you sent me flowers... kekekeekeke... *bleh*)

Lunar New Year - Springvale
[ my sassy girl ] i believe
Woke up pretty early as I was excited about today! ...Anyway, we met up at 12pm and off we went to play snooker at Footscray... I did quite well (thanks to my friend great skill in hitting the white ball into the hole... hiak hiak hiak!)... but the 2nd game, I was trashed badly (I think my points were less than 10)... ish! ...
After the game we went to Chadstone to shop... We went to Sushi Sushi for sushi and just as we sat down and he was about to have his first bite of the sushi, I asked him a question and he had to stop putting the sushi into his mouth and answered me.. and just as he started to put the sushi near his mouth again, I shoot him another question, and again he had to stop and answered me... I think I repeatly asked him 5 questions until he stopped and asked me if he could take the 1st bite of his sushi first before I asked any more questions!? ...lolx... OMG! ...That was hilarious and we both laughed so loud till everyone was looking at us... *aiks*
We went to shop around after we bought the movie ticket "A Night At Museum"... and we bought the very unhealthy Krispy Kreme... Yum Yum but I only had one cos I was pretty full from Sushi... The movie alright as it's a kiddy's movie...
I guess it was round 6pm that we started to go to Springvale for Lunar New Year Festival... It was so crowded and we had to park the car at the race course show ground and paid $5 entrance fees (what the hell?)... It was definitely better than the Richmond LNY Festival last weekend... Bought some food to eat and squeezing in the crowd like Sardine Fish... Played some stupid funfair game and won a white rose that made by some soft material...
1st time being carried up and nearly being thrown into the bin, thankfully the bin's lid was closed!!! ...How to get away with it? ...Well, you think my big mouth only for eating great food? ...Nah, you're wrong... I bite too... and I bite people hard! ....kekeke...
Well, had some junk food there and head back to Melb cos we had enough of the crowded place... Drove to the Temple near Sunshine to have a long chat... There was only a star in the sky... Saw a Rabbit... The joke of the day was -- Van & Hatchback...
And the highlight of the day goes to... the long heart to heart chat under the sky that had only one star shining upon us...

Unpleasant Result...
[ gwen stefani ] wind it up
Busy occupying myself with all the files in front of my desk the whole morning... Trying to stay calm and focus, yet preparing myself for the phone call that I had to make in the afternoon to collect the result...
Struggled to make the call... Tummy upset... Hands shaking...
Mind was soooooooo calm, yet body reacted totally opposite...
Result was told through the phone... busy making a few more calls to arrange further appointments... Updated my manager and agreed to let my team leader knows... Totally feeling well and calm at that point of time...
Finally came back to my own desk and let all information sunk in... Started to feel sick to the stomach... until I received the email from my team leader that my eyes started to fill with tears... Hold it back... Hold it back... Look up the ceiling... Dry up dry up... I tried and tried... but I broke down when a lady from another Dept walked pass gave me a big warm hug (cos she thought I was upset due to workloads)...
I went down stairs to get some fresh air... Felt so much better... Felt so bad to make the girls in my Dept worry about me, yet I couldn't tell them what was wrong... I... Don't want them to treat me any differently... Too much love, too much caring, making me weak... I have to be strong...
Just as I turned around and walked back to the building... I heard a loud whistle... Turned around and there he was, smiling... His smile was contagious... He noticed I cried before and he didn't ask... We went into the lift and didn't press the floor number... Joke a little and he squeezed my face so hard, I smiled... I felt so much better then... Sometimes I wonder if he was another angel who was sent to my rescue...
Came back to my Dept and apologized to the girls...
Talked about other things and everything went back to normal again...
Felt much better for having the chance to cry a little... That was the down point... but I managed to climb back and accept my destiny and prepare for the battles...

Lunar New Year - Richmond
[ ost my sassy girl ] i believe
We met up at 2pm and went to Brunswick to walk up and down as my friend has never been there before... The weather was HOT and it wasn't that pleasant to walk and shop as both of us sweat like mad...
Checked into this Cafe to have some desserts and drinks (he had pancakes + iced lemon tea, I had Peaches in Yogurt Red Wine Sauce + mango&strawberry juice)... Very Yummy... Had his first bite cheekily...
Had a bit of time on our hands, we went to play pool at Footscray... A smoke free pool playing place where there's not many people at all... I actually enjoy playing pool but I don't get much chance to learn as I don't have many friends who plays pool at all..
Anyway, we then headed to Richmond as there's Lunar New Year Celebrations. It was extremely hard to find parking there. And I guess it's nearly dinner time and there's more people coming out to join the festival and have dinner there (cos Richmond is not only a Vietnamese area, but its full of Asian restaurants)... We squeezed in the crowd to check out the food around... I was exhausted cos it was HOT and there's so many people, and the heat from the hawker stalls' cooking... I think I nearly fainted due to the heat... Luckily we stopped at the end of the road and sat on the floor to rest a while before we went into this restaurant to have dinner (there's air-condition inside!!!)
It was nearly sun sets when we came out from the restaurant... We then bought some Sweet Corns to chew while continue to walk up and down... Not many handsome guys to check out, not many pretty girls neither... I think both of us were the most pretty and handsome one out there (*cough*cough*)... hahahaha...
Due to we both had to work the next day (Monday), we didn't stay there long at all... We went home around 9 or 10ish... Very tiring... The outing wasn't too bad, but it was not as relaxed especially knowing the next day is Monday and its such a long week to go before next weekend comes... sigh!!

I reckon the best way to break the ice, is to be honest and invite the others to come into your world... Let them take a day tour to explore what's in your mind... and allow them to see the views from your angle... Misunderstanding would easily be avoided if we care and we dare to open up our world for everyone to come in...
Sometimes being honest and express our feelings could be a suicide attempt... but to be true to yourself and your own feelings, will do you more good eventhough things may go wrong... and it's definitely worth it... =)
It'll take some times to recover and get back to the same old level... but I'm not ready to make nice yet, not today... but the progress is good... and I love this song by Dixie Chicks!!!

Perfect Gift for Dad
[ paul anka ] put your head on my shoulder
Went YumCha with friends (TJ, Mike & Angie) at the same place I went yesterday with the gays... hmmmph... and I was 30mins LATE!! ...hee... (Seriously, I'm afraid of YumCha now, and I thought I wouldn't "Yum" more "Cha" after Florence left, but see what happened? ...Now getting sick of it, really!!)
Anyway, it was great to have finally caught up with the group... TJ is going to Europe soon, and I envy him a lot!! ...How I wish I could go traveling for 4 months without worrying about my job and my bank balance like him!!! ...Grrrr...
Later on, I met up with Bro and Winnie, and started shopping in the city to hunt for Tissot!! ...and we FOUND IT!! ...It was our lucky day too as there's 20% discount as well!! ...And now we're thinking about getting the same matching Ladies watch for mum since her birthday is in March!! ... =) ...Anyway, the most important is that DAD LIKES THE WATCH A LOT!!! =))
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Throughout the whole long weekend, I was feeling a little hollow inside... but I finally came to accept that "change is the only constant thing"... and I started to feel calm inside and accepted the reality... BUT at night, I received an EMAIL which messed up my calm and peaceful world again!! ...I was feeling frustrated cos I tried hard to get over it during the weekend and I finally felt so much better, yet an Email suddenly ROCK my thoughts again and put me back into the deep end.. I actullay had to play Piano to distress and detox... lolx... Came back with a clearer mindset and I replied the Email and expressed my thoughts and got things out of my system...
What a relief!! ...I had a really good night sleep then!! ... =)

2 Gays, 1 Girl, and the Cookies
[ lily allen ] smile
Climbed out of bed at 945am while my eyes were still not fully opened... How I wished I could sleep moreeeeeeee... but I promised the gays we'd catch up and go Yum-Cha... as it's been quite a while I haven't seen Andy since he last came to Melb...
Anyway, there was a bit of dramas but we all still managed to meet up as planned... doesn't matter what happened as long as it was a happy ending... Hehehe!! ...After Yumcha, the gays and I went to this pub called Cookies. It's another cool and cozy place in the city to hang out during day time (night time would be too crowded)... We had a few drinks while sitting at the dark secret corner, and bitching about all everything and chat away the afternoon...
I then went to High-Point to check out more watches... Didn't see Tissot Platinum model at all... So I went home to have dinner... and while online, Gary suggested to watch "The Fountain"... So I went all the way back to High-Point again to catch the movie... and both of us came out from the movie not knowing what was it all about... hmmmph!! ...Too confused, too deep, too abstract... ZzzZzzzZzZzzz....

Australia Day
[ australian ] waltzing matilda
A public holiday for all of us... And the weather was absolutely beautiful!!!
Initially I landed myself a DATE, but due to I was being too straight forward over something (I was brutal in his point of view), things turned Pear Shape!!
It was great to have spent the day with Winnie and Silvia shopping at Chadstone Shopping Mall instead... Though it was a waste to stay indoor when the weather was sooooooooooooo beautiful... but I needed to find a present for daddy... so no choice!! ...
Brother and I have decided to get a watch for daddy, but we still yet to browse around... and most of the watches I saw at Chadstone are quite nice... I had a hard time picking... not until I laid my eyes on the Tissot Titanium model... It's such a simple and classic design yet it just stood out like it was calling out my name... hehehehe... I sms my brother the model of the watch, and he went online to check it out and he likes it too!!! ...Yeay!!! ...
But due to this was the first day I shopped for Watches, I thought we should have checked out a few more shops and not rushing into buying one so soon... (it ain't cheap also ah!!)
We ended our day with dinenr at Pancake Parlours (Hight Point)... and watching BLUE CRUSH on TV... What a day!!! ...I did feel a little hollow inside due to it could have been a DATE today, on the other hand, I felt very happy as there's progress on searching dad the best gift!! =)

Daddy's 60th Lunar Birthday!
[ everybody ] happy birthday to the most wonderful dad in the world
60th is a big birthday... We should have celebrated dad's birthday with STYLE!! ...but but but but... Well, we don't have any relatives nor many family friends in Melb, and Dad prefers a simple family dinner... So we went to the best Malaysian Restaurant in Melb to have the big big feast!!
5 of us polished up 7 big yummy dishes!! ...I've never been so full since this year (haha!) as I was the last to put down my chopsticks... hehehee.... How could I resist great food like that!? ...Impossible!!! ...
Dad cut the cake at home and I was the only one who still could fit a slice in my mouth (cos they were too full?!)... Hmmm... No matter how full I was, there's always space for cakes... especially Black Forrest Cake!! ...very very yummy indeed... Even mum thinks so too (she's the most picky amongst us!)
One thing that is missing... A present for dad!!! ...
Well, we will start shopping during the long weekend... WOohooOO!!

Misunderstanding...
[ pon & zi ]
My feelings right now... just like the Emo-cartoons...
Lack of communications...
Not open up to each other "enough"....
All the misunderstanding...
Be honest to others...
Be truthful to each other...
Simplify everything in life...

Too Late...
[ 古巨基 ] 愛得太遲
Rain a little this morning... Miserable feeling...
Heart sinks deeper every seconds... Feeling hollow... a sense of losing...
It's already too late to say sorry... as things wouldn't be the same...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Close friends drifted apart due to hardly catch up...
Never notice the wrinkles of our parents as we're too busy with our own lives...
Too busy with our career...
Too busy for our own health (when was the last time you slow down?)...
Too busy to watch the movies we collected...
Too busy to express your love for someone...
Wait till next time... Wait till we have time... Wait till tomorrow...
What if it's too late to love? ...
What if it's too late to regret? ...
What if we have missed the moment just like we missed the wrinkles of our parents?
What if there's no tomorrow? ... and what if we have missed the moment??

In Love with His Talent
[ jerry c ] marriage d'amour
I found another AWESOME! AWESOME piece which is re-arranged by Jerry C... This is one of my all time favorite piece as well, as I grew up listening to the piano version by Richard Clayderman... Anyway, I have been watching the "Canon D" and "Marriage D'Amour" by JerryC repeatly, and everytime I watch it, I get butterflies in my tummy and I could just feel the energy intensely growing inside me and felt like I wanna jam along and explode toooo...
To all my secret admires (if I even have any??)... You'd better master Piano or Guitar playing to impress me... *muahahahahhahaha*

I have never heard this song by The Beatles before, but Jake played it so beautifully... until my heart gently weeps...
[ jerry c ] canon d
While I am still taking my time learning Johann Pachelbel's Canon D (George Winston's arrangement), and I found this guitar version which is arranged and played by an extremely talented Taiwanese student JerryC (he's such a cutie, isn't he??)... Ever since then Canon D in rock version is born!!!

[ kevin spacey ] beyond the sea
Initially I planned to bring Rabbit for PuffingBilly ride but Rabbit seemed more into shopping at Brunswick Street so we changed the plans instead... Had big breakfast at one of the Corner Cafe (need to ask Rabbit what's the name of it) at Brunswick Street before checking out the shops.
Well, she bought some stuff for her friends and family of course... and guess what i found?? ...A very cool pants that I've always wanted for a loooooooooong long time... A timeless design... Unique cut that fits perfectly (perhaps 1/2 inch too long but that can be easily fixed)... BUT the price tag is also very very EYE-POPPING!!!
Hmmm... I hesitated a little after seeing the price tag, but I knew I would regret if I don't get it... and yes, it is now sitting in my wardrobe calling out my name to wear it one fine day!!! ...heeeeee... (And this was the Highlight of my day!)
We continue our shopping spree at DFO @ Spencer Street where Rabbit bought a very very beautiful bag for her friend Luyi... and she also bought some very pretty chocolates for her friends/colleagues before we headed to Cuckoo Restaurant to feed our tummy...
As usual, I got lost driving to Cuckoo (getting lost has became a norm to me!!)... Anyway, I was a little disappointed that they didn't performed the song "Edelweiss", instead a Tom Jone's wanna-be sang a few songs... but the usual audience interacting performance were still pretty funny and entertaining as usual, especially the yodeling part (but this time round, there's a few didn't play along which was a pity!!)... I reckon the most funniest show was during the Sydney gang came for visit last year as it was hilarious!! ...
On our way back to Melb, we went into Xchange (Commercial Road) to watch the gays and show... We missed out the start but still managed to check out the hot bodies of the background dancers... Ma Ma Miaa... Fit Fit!! ...and the Queens has the perfect-10 legs not many female could even compete!! ...Anyway, I could not stop coughing and felt that my lung was badly harm for being in there 30-40mins or so... The smoke was terrible... No clubbing for me anymore!!!

Had a great night sleep at Sovereign Hill Lodge... Not sure if I snored... Anyway, check out this photo which we initially wanted to do... Ain't Asian looks funny dressed up like this? ...heeeee... Well, we made an appointment at Sovereign Hill yesterday to dress up and take these photos at 1130am but we realised that by the time they have developed the photos, it might be late in the afternoon!? ...and we didn't wanna spend more time at Sovereign Hill cos we have seen enough...
So we decided to check out the town centre of Ballarat as Rabbit also wanna get some postcards... Ballarat town centre has lotsa old buildings... We found a place to have big lunch before headed to our next destination - Kryal Castle...
It was such a warm day and there's so many flies... I hate flies!!! ...Anyway, Kryal Castle is a medieval Castle that offers "activities including medieval re-enactments, magic shows and Live birds of prey displays. Other presentations include costumes of the World, the largest display of arms and armour in the Southern Hemisphere, Medical Museum, giant maze, chapel ,torture chamber dungeons, comical graveyard, Magna Carta and more"...
Since we missed out the chance to dress up at Sovereign Hill earlier, we couldn't let go of another chance to dress up in mediaval costumes especially seeing so many visitors dressed up and walked around in the castles as noble ladies, the King and his armed guards...
Rabbit dressed up as the Queen, and she found her very good looking and very brave King-to-be in the castle!!! ...And I dressed up as a flower maid (which kinda look like a bride though cos all in white?) and I was rescued by the shining amour hero from the evil Queen (ah-hahahahhhaa!!!)....We had fun dressing up and that's absolutely the highlight of the day... kekekeke....
Anyway, we then came back to Melb and walk around at Williamstown before we headed to Brunswick Street for dinner at Cherry Lounge... It was Friday night and everyone was out for partying/dining... We then headed to Lygon Street for another walk before wethe night ends... (and Rabbit drooled over all the pretty desserts at Brunetti)...

Could not remember if we had breakfast before heading to Daylesford. And I also forgot to bring the address of the Lake House as I made reservation since Rabbit is crazy over The Lake House (which her handsome prince KR starred in). Anyway, the lunch wasn't too bad but we were under dressed. The bright side was that the weather was absolutely beautiful and sunny!!
As we drove to Ballarat, Rabbit said she couldn't get the "ballarat" song out of her head (cos that song was played so frequently on local radio station)... hehee... Anyway, we arrived Ballarat and checked into Sovereign Hill Lodge and browsed around the old cowboy gold mine town... Dinner and the night show was included. I had high expectation for the night show, but it turned out just alright (maybe because it was so damn cold and I was a little tired??)
(Anyway, more photo will be posted to online album soon! Stay tune!)

My Birthday!!
[ friends and family ] happy birthday to you (me!)
My Birthday!!! ...My Birthday!!! ...My very BIG Birthday and I fell sick thanks to Melbourne's extreme weather (4 seasons in one day!!) ...Thankfully I had the chance to sleep in until 12pm as I didn't have to babysit Rabbit cos she's out with her friend from Canberra! ...I woke up for light lunch and back to afternoon nap for another 1-2hours... And *woah-laaaa*... I felt so GREAT after that... Fully recovered and ready for my BIG day! ...heheeeee...
We first picked up Rabbit from city and boy, she looked pretty crook as well... I guess it's all because we didn't get enough sleep and been out in extreme weather for the past few days...
Anyway, we ended up meeting my parents at Box Hill before going into one of the Chinese restaurant at Box Hill due to our favorite Malaysian Restaurant at High Street was closed during Xmas/New Year season... And after dinner, we all went back to my place to sing me a Birthday Song and cut the Mango Gateau (thanks Winnie for the cake!!) ...Yummy!!!
I have received tons of greetings via SMS, Emails and received some lovely presents... perhaps I shall do a list like Cybreed... heeeeeeee... And here's mine:-

Anyway, I'm happy to receive so many greetings but in the mean time, I felt terrible because I don't think I remember most of their birthdays??? ...I realised I'm such a terrible friend!!! ... *sob*sob*... I shall take some time out to reflect myself and think about since when I have changed to become such a careless person... And of course to find out when is my friends' birthdays without them knowing !! ...heeeeeeeeeeee...

Anyway, I'm happy to receive so many greetings but in the mean time, I felt terrible because I don't think I remember most of their birthdays??? ...I realised I'm such a terrible friend!!! ... *sob*sob*... I shall take some time out to reflect myself and think about since when I have changed to become such a careless person... And of course to find out when is my friends' birthdays without them knowing !! ...heeeeeeeeeeee...

[ savage garden ] the animal song
We got up pretty early to get ready for our Open Vehicle Adventure at 915am! ...Despite losing our way to Werribee Zoo (it's kinda usual for me to get lost anyway!!), we arrived a bit early than expected... So we jumped for some great shots while waiting... (Rabbit sure knows how to jump for the snap!! ...heeeee)
The weather was terrible as it was raining and it was freezing cold by the time our adventure started... We sat at the back of the open vehicle suffering from strong cold wind as the vehicle moved into the first animal territory called Savanah Park (where we saw the muscular Rhinos hanged out with the beautiful Zebras and the elegant Giraffes... Was hoping the rhinos would come and attack our vehicle (yeah right!) but they seemed so tamed!! ...Anyway, we also saw Mongolian Horses and Hippos and Camels and lotsa different kind of African Goats/Deer (no idea what they called them!!)... No, the vehicle didn't drive into the big cat's (Lion and Cheetah's) territories... There's this tours called "Rip Roaring Feed" for closer encounter with the big cats... Perhaps we shall join that next time!! ...hohoho
Anyway, after the Open Vehicle Adventure, we spent some time walking around the Zoo... We saw Cheetah and Lions of course... Well, it's kinda funny cos I was checking out this separate small path next to the main walking area... It's a bush areas where the grass are so tall and the path was so winding, I couldn't see what lies in front of me!? ...Anyway, as I walked further by myself, I heard the Lion roaring SO LOUD like it was very angry that I entered his territory and was going to jump out from the bush and ATTACK me?!!!?... Of course I freaked out and RAN FOR MY LIFE without second thoughts!!! ...and as I ran out from the bush area, Rabbit caught me and laughed at me badly... And we then found out it wasn't a real lion that roars, it was just a sound effect thingy that they installed in the bush area to scare people!!! ...Grrrr... (Thank goodness Rabbit didn't take a snap of my freaked out expression as I ran out from the bush... hehehe)... Yeah that's the highlight of the day...
Anyway, we then went to the Werribee Rose Garden to take some photos as well as checking out the Werribee Mansion before we headed back to Melb for me to take an afternoon nap before meeting up with Rabbit's friend for dinner at 金鼎@Chinatown... They actually drove all the way down to Melb from Canberra just to meet up with Rabbit... How sweet huh!!!

Visitor from Perth - Day 2
Check out Rabbit's blog for the whole Day 2 in details... hehehe...
I must say I almost ruined the holidays for being so careless!!
Well, after YumCha @ Shark Fin House, I parked my car near Crown Casino and we spent quite a while in Crown for the beautiful musical decos and carols, and of course we couldn't resist the beautiful cakes (she had Chocolate Tiramisu, I had Strawberry Cheesecake) at Gecko... I saw Elsa and her hubby at Casino too (Melb is quite small, ain't it?!) ...
Anyway, we then walked along the Yarra River to South Gate, and from Art Centre & National Art Gallery to Federation Square, and she likes the old gothic designed building called "Forum" at the corner of Russel St & Flinders St... Took quite some photos there before we walked along Swanston Street to Chinatown to have some simple Japanese food before we walked back to Crown Casino to pick up the car...
As we approached nearer to my car, guess what I noticed?? ...I forgot to turned off the headlight!!?!! ...No doubt the battery was totally FLAT by then since it's been nearly the whole day we parked the car there... RACV's hotline advise that it would probably take 2 hours for the Road Side Service to come and assist us due to busy night... As we were waiting (probably just 10mins), we saw the RACV Road Side Service truck came by and guess what? ...They came to fix someone else's car not far in front of us!!! ...They said they'll come back to assist us after they have fixed the car in front... Thank goodness we didn't have to wait for 2hours!?!?! ....Happy!! ...hehehe... Anyway, I had my battery changed on the spot!! ...
Well, perhaps Rabbit brought me lotsa luck, because if we had waited for 2hrs for to get the battery fixed, I'm sure we couldn't make it to Werribee Zoo tomorrow morning for the Open Vehicle Adventure... hmmph... Ain't we lucky on X'mas Day?? ...hohoho...

Visitor from Perth - Day 1
[ liang jing ru ] nuan nuan
Woke up today at 5am to pack a few things before picking up Rabbit from the airport... Yes, I have a visitor and I have such a big responsibility now as Melb's reputations will be on my shoulders now... =P
Well, we were both pretty tired after coming back from the airport, and we tried to get some sleep? ...but my tummy couldn't stop making noises... At last we decided to get up and have big breakfast at St Kilda Beach as we could also check out the Sunday Market there... Anyway, the breakfast was great, and the market wasn't that crowded due to it was still early... We then went for a walk at the beach...
Since we were around the area, I decided to take Rabbit to Brighton to check out some colorful and pretty Bath Houses before we headed to Port Melb to check out Mirvac's townhouses... After that, we went to Williamstown via beautiful West Gate Bridge... Williamstown has a great view of the city from the opposite of Port Melb sea... but we didn't really get to walk around Williamstown due to too windy... We then went to Footscray to check out the Vietnamese community before we head home for another afternoon nap (for me only cos I was extremely tired)... hehe
I had 2 hours of Super Power Nap before we headed back to city for another drive... We went to Rememberance Shrine and took lotsa photos before we walked around in Botanica Garden... The weather became pretty bad and I was only able to show her around the city and Dockland by car... After that we went to Chinatown to have dinner and head home...
Covered quite a lot today actually... Let's hope the coming days would cover more (I doubt it, cos the weather is terrible!! ...Hail, rain, and extremely cold wind... and its Summer now?!! ...

First Cake of the year
[ jay zhou ] ye qu
Went for Yumcha with my ex-colleague just to catch up before Xmas or the year end... After lunch, we also spent a good few hours just to walk around the city (to burn some energy for eating so much?)... It's such a beautiful day...
Just right before we went our seperate ways, she took out a beautiful love shaped cake (which she made) and a birthday present for me from her car... I was so surprised!!! ...Very touched and speechless...
I truly appreciate the fact that she remembers my birthday, and I even feel more touched knowing she actually spent her own quality time to make me a beautiful yummy butter cake...
It's truly the thoughts that counts...
The effort that no better gifts could ever replace...
Thank you very much, Elsa sweetie... *muah*

My New Toy
[ kenny g ] song bird
The touch of it... the sound of it... the look if it... I'm loving every inch of it!!
I'm talking about the Xmas and Birthday present that I bought for myself -- Yamaha P70.
I've been playing for a few good hours every day...
I've been printing out so many Music Sheets that I have been collected all these years...
I wished I didn't have to go to work every morning, so that I could spend more time with my new toy... and I couldn't wait till I finish work every afternoon, so that I could rush home to practice the music I love...
I get this peaceful and relax feelings when I play piano... just like when I draw/paint...
It feels like I'm in my own world or in the "zone"...

Summer Night Market @ QVM
[ evanescence ] lithium
SUMMER has started and so is the Summer Night Market at Queen Victoria Market...It runs for 13 weeks only (every Wednesday night during Summer except 27th December)...
I usually would "at least" check out the night market once per year cos I love the Summer entertainment that is a little weird but fun and wonderful... There's many locally arts and crafts, young designers fashion and accessories, and some very innovative and unusual stuff that people could come up with, and of course the International Food stalls that freshly prepared all the yummy food on site...
Check this out! ...hehe... This is the new chinese food stall, but most of them who works there are not Asian... Their outfit are the brightest and their wok and wok-turner are so huge that they attracted so many people... Not many of them buying food there though (maybe not at that time cos it was still early when I got there)... heeeee....
Every year, I would try different food... Last year I tried Indian food, this year I tried Spanish food... I also bought a Turkish pan fried bread that stuffed with cheese and spinach! ...Very Yummy... Maybe next year I shall try some African food hey!? ...hehe
There's ONE thing that I MUST have whenever I go to Summer Night Market... That is -- the BEAUTIFUL cup cakes... OMG!!! ...They are sooooooooooooo pretty!!! ....There's many different flavors with different beautiful icing design... I always find it hard to pick one because I felt like I wanna have all of them... Anyway, this year, I had the Orange Flavour cup cake... It was not bad but last year, I had Sticky Date and it was Oh-So-Very-Nice!! ....
(Rabbit, during the 2nd week of your stay in Melb, if we come back early from our Great Ocean Rd trip, we might be able to go to Night Market the same day... =)

Gary's Birthday
[ u2 & greenday ] the saints are coming
Saturday night I met up with an old friend as it's his birthday... We were lucky enough to catch the sunsets before having Mexican food at Williamstown... I was rather surprised that he's never been to Williamstown when he was studying in Melb more than 5 years ago...
Anyway, I bought him this cute little mango cake (yum yum!!!) as it's his first birthday since he moved back to Melb two months ago... Wishing him all the best and many happy and wonderful days to come!!
I like this blurry happy photo... =) ...cos it's very mango!!

Weight of the things...
[卫兰 ] 离家出走
I seldom listen to Cantonese songs...
Late last night a good friend in Melb sent me this song via messenger... I stopped what I was doing to listen to the song... and I liked it...Very melodic and beautifully sung by 卫兰...
I vaguely remember a colleague sorta recommended 卫兰's songs to me, but I gave it a pass... but when my friend sent me this song, I liked it...
We tend to listen to / take advise / willing to open for new things for those people whom we trust more...
I loves presents/gifts...
I receive a gift from a cool friend from Msia, I appreciate his thoughts and kindness... I know him long enough and well enough and I'm in the comfort zone to accept any gifts from him without feeling awkward... (*wink*wink*... more to come yeah?? ...heheheee...)
I receive a gift from a colleague yet that gift has became my heaviest baggage... because I not only cannot give him any kindness in return, I actually felt rather uncomfortable if I didn't make sure there'll never be more than just colleague or just friend between us...
Presents/gifts' value actually comes from the importance of the giver in our heart as it could be just a card from close ones, yet it is enough to warmth our heart...
Original DVDs...
I am not fuss about movies or Dvds... I couldn't care less whether it is an original or copy as long as it is not Telesync... cos I hardly watch a movie twice or thrice...
When it comes to movie that I really really like, I must have the original DVDs no matter how expensive they are... Friends have the original DVD and offer to burn me a copy? ...I still insist to have my very own original...
There's no significant difference between original DVDs and duplicate copies, but there's great differences if I truly like it.
All the matters might seem the same...
But it's our heart that weight them differently...

Ring of my Right
[ evanescence ] weight of the world
I have finally found a ring that I really like on Sunday!!
A vintage ring with a few orange garnets...
A ring that is very unique...
A ring with personality...
A ring with attitude...
A ring that says "I can" instead of "I do"...
A ring that shows "no boundaries"...
Yet... I didn't buy it...
Perhaps I want to make sure that I truly fond of before I buy my first ring...
Perhaps I want to wait for a few days to see if my heart still yearn for it...
Perhaps I enjoy the feeling of having something to look forward to...
...that kinda uncertainties feelings of whether it would be sold to someone...
...or it truly belongs to me at the end...
Why do I want a ring?
...because I am single...
...because my happiness comes within myself, not from someone else...
I want a ring on my right hand...
I want a ring that declares my right... =)

He says...
He wants to get to know her better and best way is be in the relationship...
She says...
We don't necessary need to be in a relationship to get to know a person...
He says...
She has to improve to minimize hardships in their relationship...
She says...
He has to love her as a whole and not afraid of what may comes in future...
He says...
If he could not see them being happily together in the future, he'll let go ...
She says...
Having doubts now only means that you're searching for an easy way out...
He says...
She still has feelings for the other guy and it's normal if she feels this way...
She says...
You're not the one for her if she couldn't forget about the other guy now...
He says...
Only time will tell if we were meant to be together...
She says...
Love has no MAYBE... and there's too many maybe in yours...
He says...
How could you be so certain when everything is a constant change?
She says...
You know, when you are in love... You know, when that's the one...
He says...
You're just a Romantist... I am not like that... I am very realistic...

Yes, I am a Romantist... yet I am much realistic than you think you are...

[ enigma ] return to innocent
Heard the news about Belinda Emmett's passing today... Sad...
I thought she would lived longer especially seeing her being so determine and so strong all these while... but it still killed her like it killed my friend's mum just a few days ago...
Just as I started to forget about completing my 5 years milestones...
Just as I started to have a long term dreams & plans...
I realized I do have to sorta plan my life around it in some kinda way...
Because there's not a single day I don't think about it...

[ the cat empire ] hotel california
A friend's mum passed away just few days ago...
She discovered she had it the same time when I was recovering from my relapse end of last year... and she's gone now... and I survived...
It's such a complex feeling that I don't really know how to describe it... There's sadness and fear... and there's confusion and frustrations (yet that brought more strength inside in many ways)... There's realization of how fragile human being is, and there's more appreciation to every beautiful things around me in this moment of time...
Re-check my to-do list... Hmmm... it's about time to work on those instead of letting time stray away...

Re-check my to-do list... Hmmm... it's about time to work on those instead of letting time stray away...

Crêpes @ Williamstown
[ evermore ] running
We went to Williamstown hoping to taste the best Sticky Date Pudding at the Pelican Hotel's restaurant... All the way there to find out they no longer serve Sticky Date Pudding on their menu... So disappointed, so sad... until we found a replacement - French Crepes!!
I have never been to Breizoz Crêperies during night time at all... Usually we'd only dropped in for breakfast or brunch, and checking out the artworks on the wall (they change the paintings all the times and some said those were painted by the owner's daughter)...
He ordered Apple & Calvados Crêpes Flambées... She ordered Apple & Chocolat Crêpes... and I ordered just Apple Crêpes... (Just because I casually mentioned to them the Apple Crepes is nice... and we all ended up ordering the ones with apple... lolx)
Crêpes made our day as that's the best thing we have eaten that night.

False Alarm
[ evanescence ] all that i'm living for
I went to bed around midnight last night, and as I was tossing and turning trying to fall asleep... I started to feel a little uncomfortable yet I didn't know why... I started to explore why I felt that way, yet that feeling of something terrible might happen growing even stronger... I was shivering and sweating... Made a few calls/sms to ensure everybody I care about is okay...
Well, I have always trusted my instinct and it hardly failed me... On the other hand, I sometimes do wonder if it was my strong mind that made things happened and made things come true...
Anyway, it's never a good feeling knowing something was going to happen, yet I couldn't stop it... and this kinda feeling used to frustrate me a lot because I just couldn't do anything to change it nor to help anyone... and I used to question what is the purpose of given me such distinct instinct when I couldn't change anything? ...But I have grown to understand that maybe I wasn't supposed to change the course of what may happen in the future, and the purpose of it perhaps was to help me and help others to prepare and to handle what may have come? ...
Well, I thought the best I could do was to stop worrying because I still don't fully understand the power of my mind? ...and I read from somewhere about - sometimes mind power could contribute to what is going to happen... so in order not to let my mind release any negative vibes and maybe make things come true... I decided to meditate and calm myself down... Boxed away all the negative things away, and imagined white lights all around everybody and everything...
And the last time I checked the time, it was 3.15am...
I woke up at 6.30am feeling afresh and I'm a little surprised how much meditation helps... Usually if I went to bed such late and woke up such early, I would feel extremely tired and have puffy eyes... Anyway, I was feeling great in the morning... but all started to go down hill at 2pm at work, cos I couldn't stop yawning... TGIF!!! ... =)
Well, about the terrible feelings I had last night? ...Perhaps it was just a false alarm... Perhaps it's just a journey for me to learn slowly how to take a little control of my powerful mind (who knows? ...maybe i really do have special power that I know not of - just like the popular TV series in US (HEROES?)... haha... In all, meditate helps...

No Treat No Trick
[ ella fritzgerald & louis armstrong ] dream a little dream of me
How was your Halloween? ...Mine was quiet...
I was hoping the kids would dressed up and knock on my door because I actually rushed to supermaket to buy a few packet of lollies and chocolates after work... The door bell didn't ring the whole night... and now I probably would put on a few extra kilos because of those lollies and chocolates I bought... =/...Hmmmm... Actually, I will bring them to work to distribute to my colleagues (so that I wouldn't have to carry all the calories all by myself... muahahahahaha)
So, what's the story behind Halloween? ...I asked a few of my colleagues and they have no idea but the pumkins and all the treat or trick... hmmm... I couldn't be bothered looking up on Google because I am not that keen on Halloween anyway... (Grown up are boring, isn't it??)... hehe... Well, it's just another ordinary day (since the kids didn't knock on my door for treat or trick)... =)

One after another...
[ ooki ] happy birthday to you
Guess what? ...I have forgotten ANOTHER birthday of my dearest friend...
Actually, while I was suffering from my back pain yesterday, I was playing with my phone (to personalized some ringtones to my contacts)... and I sorta remembered that it's my friend's birthday this few days...
Well, as I mentioned previously that I'm terrible with Birthdays and Dates... and I thought of calling him just to see how has he been and find out which day exactly his birthday is (cos I knew it's either 28th, 29th, 30th or 31st October, but I couldn't pin point which date exactly??)... haha... Anyway, I then fell asleep without making any calls...
12am midnight... I was already asleep and my phone rang... Who the heck called me so late? ...Ignore it and continue to snore...
Early this morning I woke up and checked my missed call... and it was the friend whom I was thinking of!! ...How cool was that, I thought... And just as I was feeling quite contended with my PSYCHIC power (haha)... My phone rang and it's my friend again... hmmm... terrible feeling rushing through me... Why? ...cos I knew the reason why he called...
As usual... I have missed his birthday... to make it worst, this is the fifth or sixth birthdays of his which I have missed... and to top it off, this is also the fifth or sixth time which he actually has to call me and scold me... *sob*sob*... Feeling very awful actually... cos I have to wait for another year to proof that I actually do remember his birthday and I do treasure him as my dearest friend? ...hmmm...
After the phone call, I hurry entered his birthday onto my cool phone and something even worst happened to me... I have no idea how, but I accidently erased EVERYTHING on my phone's calendar!??!?! ...I lost all my appointments and schedules and birthdays on my calendar!!!! ...@#$%&$
So, to all my dearest friends... sms me now to let me know your birthday again... If you do not do so, do not blame me for not remembering your birthday.... (muahahahahahhahahaha!!)...

Backache....
[ elvis costello ] let's misbehave
I suffered a terribile back pain in the afternoon (probably from my bad posture or shrink with cold due to the freezing wheather these few days)...
Can backache kills?? ...I actually thought I was going to die because no matter how I tossed and turned on my bed, I just couldn't find a position that could relieaf me from the pain... The pain wasn't excruciating, but it was sore enough till I felt like throwing out... I think I would pass out if I didn't lie down too!!
Anyway, it took a while for me to calm myself down and tried to relax and wait for the pain to go away... and then I fell asleep... and now the pain has gone... Let's hope it won't come back tomorrow, or else I would have to see a doctor (which I hope I won't have to)... Oh well, better jump back to bed and take the weight off my back now....
Hmmm... Talking about the weight... Could it be that I'm growing FATTER that's why my spine couldn't take the LOADS ?!?!?!?... *sob*sob*... Please tell me I'm not fat (but telling me big bone won't work too ok!!) ...Ahhhhhhh... Time to lose some weight, yeah??? ...heheeeee... (Am I fat? ..Am I? ...Nah, just big bone.... dammit!)

So Fly for an Earring
[ sheryl crow ] begin the beguine
Oh yeah, before I had the massive back pain, I was actually shopping with Winnie. Melb Cup day and Summer is coming soon and there's so many pretty Summer dresses around... and just as we were browsing for some jewelry right in the middle of the shopping centre. I spotted this Earrings which has a fly attached to it... It's kinda funny cos I thought they purposely put a fake FLY on the earrings to sorta make fun of the Summer in Australia (in case you don't know, the fly down under are humoungous and annoying. They'll fly around your face and follow you wherever you go... and if you talk too much, they might fly into your mouth!)...
Ok back to the FLY on the earrings... I started to check out the FLY cos I was amazed how real it looks! ...and I started to wonder if it was a real fly!! ...So I sorta push this earrings forward so that I could check out the other same earring design at the back of this one... and there's no fly on the others?!?... and guess what? ...the fly didn't move a bit while I was flipping and moving the earrings... I am positive that you could pat on the fly's head like patting a dog, and it still wouldn't move a bit... (but yuks!)
So there you go! The fly down under are as relaxed as Australian...

Tankini... Bikini... Linguini...
[ gary jules ] mad world
Today I took a sickie just to see my GP. She is like a guardian angel to me... Though I haven't seen her for nearly 1.5yrs and she's still very informative and caring (and beautiful!)...
Oh yeah!! I have finally bought my first tankini!! ...I have never had one before (even my hot mama wears a tankini to swim!)... and I think I was the only female who didn't bring any tankini/bikini to Bali... kekekek... (Wokay wokay, I still don't have Bikinis yet, but HEY! Tankini is good enough for now!! At least I'm taking my tiny little bunny steps to be a little less conservative??)... heeeeee...
Anyway, I have done so many things today... Like searching for accommodations and planning out the itinarery for Rabbit's visit to Melbourne end of this year... The 2 weeks itinarery is nearly done!! ...And my holidaying mode has been switched on now... Ahhh!!! ...Can't wait for year end!!! ...(Actually, I hope Rabbit's phone interview with Melb Uni would be sucessful tomorrow so that she could MOVE to Melb instead of visiting Melb end of this year... *Good luck, Rabbit*!! ...hohohoooooo....)
What a day today!!! ...I probably could have done all those during Saturday and Sunday, but whenever weekend comes, I'd rather sit back and relax instead of getting all those things fixed... And when weekdays started, I'd regret that I didn't take my time to do something during weekends, especially it'd be very tiring to do anything after coming back from work... hmmmph... Do you feel this way too or just me? ... =/
I shall get rid of my old habit and be more productive during weekends!!! ....HOHOHOHO!!!

Sozai...
[ misia ] everything
I wonder what "Sozai" means in Japanese...
Anyway, we went to have dinner at Sozai Restaurant at High Street... This is one of the Japanese restaurant I would recomment everyone to drop in whenever they feel like having Japanese food. Their Sashimi Platter is not to be missed, because you will never find another Japanese restaurant in Melb which is this generous (their slice of sashimi is thicker than the others)...
Their menu is interesting too... Anyway, we had Agedashi Tofu, Gyu Tataki, Nasuden, Kaki fry, Miso Soup, Sashimi Platter (main), and Unagi Don, and Greentea Ice-Cream... and I am still full (had dinner 3 hrs ago) as I am typing this...
I guess my brother's girlfriend was probably too full until she accidently slipped and fell down in the restaurant... hehe... *quite embarrased* cos when we heard the big-bang, the whole restaurant suddenly fell silent, and the spot-light was all on her... *^_^*... hohoho... We were a little mean cos we couldn't stop laughing after she came back to the table... =P ...
I'm still very full... how?!! ...

[ cranberries ] salvation
El Nino has hit eastern Australia. This is the warmest and driest Spring ever... Can you imagine just few days ago, the weather hit 36 celcius degree during begining of Spring?!? ...I have long worried about the global warming and thought about how the world may end, and it's just quite frightening to experience all these changes now...
Stage 2 of water restrictions will take effect coming November in Melbourne. I truly hope everyone will take this seriously. I have friends who doesn't care about water saving, and make themself a luxurious and comfortable bath at home as often as they could when they have nothing better to do... Hell!!!! ...Totally unacceptable and what a selfish act!! ...
I'm even more disgusted when I saw the news on TV today, about the Government was planning to build 25 swimming pools for the school in the state... HELLO?!?! ...Building more swimming pools when we have water restrictions? ...Where the hell their brain is?
Anyway, I hope Australia will sign the Kyoto pack soon... We need to change cos the drought this year will bring up the prices of all the veges and fruits, and in a few years time drinking water will become a major issues if nobody is going to do anything about it... sigh...
I haven't watched THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH yet, but I certainly will buy a copy of the DVD and watch it myself, and force everyone around me to watch it too...

[ tenacious D ] tribute to the best song in the world
Diamond is a girl's best friend... female always have this sparks in their eyes when they see diamonds... So how much do we know about diamonds before we pay thousands of money for just a ring?? ...People often use the size or weight (carat) to measure and to show off their diamond... but a diamond's value is actually depends on the way it was being cut, and not completely about how big it is... ain't it? ...Shall we learn more about diamonds' cutting technique before we take out our wallet?? ...
Anyway, I know very little about diamonds, and I'm not that into them... I'm not getting married any sooner (or never!), so I don't have to pay too much attention on diamonds... hehe... Aren't I lucky? ...and aren't my future hubby lucky (if he exists)... lolx!!
I am more into semi-precious stones (crystals) for healing purposes... and jewelry that made of natural coral, wood or bones, cos I think they are very very earthy and lovely... suit me and suit my style... hohohoo.... cos I'm not a rose person, I'm a sunflower-lover... =)

Another Chapter
[ rachael yamagata ] be be your love
So many weddings this year... none of them are mine...
(To my secret admirers, yes there's still chances... heeeeee)
Sometimes looking at friends around me who are DESPERATELY finding love, scares me... Sometimes seeing friends who hang on to someome who doesn't love them back, makes me wonder why do I have friends who's not that wise enough to see that (sorry, it's a little harsh, but if you think I'm talking about you, then be a little wiser... heeeeee)...
So, how many couples who are getting married, are truly married in the name of love? (Do I make myslf sound SOUR? ...hahahhaahha... NOT!!)

[ queen ] bohemian rhapsody
Somebody at work talked about birth defects and I overheard them talking about if we have hair growing on our knuckles, that's a defects (?!!?)... and they also said if our second toe is longer than our first toe, that's also a defects... Geesh... I started to wonder if that was true and the first thing I reached home after work, was to do a google search... and I found this survey regarding our toes... (Reason why this topic interests me was because my second toe is longer than my first toe! ...heeeeee)...
Anyway, majority (50%) of the people has longer second toes (YEAH!!!)... So which numb-nuts said we are defects?! ...Derrr... (hahaha) ...

love the friendly crowd...
love all the colorful matters in this world...

Long Time No See...
[ white town ] your woman
Such a beautiful day... not a single cloud in the sky... planned to trim my hair, but suddenly thought of a friend whom I haven't met for ages... I really didn't expect she would be in the mood to come out at all... She's been hiding in her cave and refused to come out since last year...
Anyway, we went to Elwood beach where there's this lovely Cafe near the beach, which is not as crowded as any other beaches in Melb (esp on such a beautiful weather)... Lotsa laughter... Lotsa great tales... Great time... Great day... Great fun... Great Place... and a Great friend... Hopefully it won't take another year to meet her again next time... =)

Drama
[ 深白色 ] 那個人
I received stupid prank calls yesterday morning, which freaked me out completely!! ...I told him off and hung up... I then closed all the blinds, and locked all the doors and windows... and I carried the biggest and sharpest knife wherever I go in the house!!! ...and soon after I finished doing my laundry, I went to my brother's place to spend my whole weekend due to I was too afraid of being home alone...
Anyway, now that I think back, maybe I was a little over-reacted... I mean, maybe he could tell that the first 4 digits of my home phone is located around Broadmeadows and that's why he started to say something that sounded like he knew "something"... Oh well, hope it was just nothing and I was just scarying myself... hmmm... what a weekend...
(Oh yeah, I forget to tell the funniest part... before I went to my brother's place, I actually pour some baby powder on the carpet of all the doors entrance... I wanted to make sure if anyone breaks in, they'd leave their marks on the carpet (?!?!!!!!!!)... I know I know... haha... What a rediculous thoughts that I came up with, huh!!! ...Oh well, that shows how well I could handle panicking... lolx)

Them...
[ 周杰倫 ] 紅模仿
suddenly thought of them... wondering how have they been... haven't been in touch for ages... hoping they are doing well all these while... would love to say hi and catch up to have a cuppa sometimes...
we all have the latest phone, but the meaning of a mobile phone is no longer "connect" with the people around us as often... we all have emails and we could see each other online all the times... but we no longer "communicate"... we have became the victim of convenience and laziness...
**Interruped by a phone call, and I'm totally freaked out and must leave now....... @#$$%^@!&***

Turn Blind Eyes and Deaf Ears...
[ janebirkin ] l'aquoiboniste
Office politics drive me nuts... especially when our company is undergoing some major management, workflow and system re-constructions...
I hear complains and winging everyday... I see people confront or challenge the middle managers almost daily... I get tired listening to all the noises... I get stressed seeing so many ugly sides of everything... =/ ...Can't people be more fair, more polite, and nicer to each other? ...(See!!! I started to be like them now as I'm here winging and complaining... tsk!!!) ...heeeee...
Anyway, I found the solutions to all these though -- my headphone!! ...

Picnic @ Williamstown
[ cake ] perhaps perhaps perhaps
The smell of sea... the smell of grass... the smell of early Spring!!!
We were having finger food and drinks while the dogs were running free chasing the sea breeze... Lying down looking to the horizon where the sky and the ocean joins while listening to the waves... ahhhh... so relaxed, so beautiful... Love it!
The weather started to change and we had to leave... Well, beautiful things usually won't last long, huh?! ...We ended up visiting a few display houses, and head home... We shall have another picnic again soon... =)

Birthdays Mixed Up...
[ sandi thom ] time
Woke up in the morning, first thing came into my mind was to send an SMS to Rabbit wishing her Happy Birthday... I hardly remember friends' birthdays because I'm extremely terrible with numbers... Anyway, I was feeling kinda proud of myself that I actually remember her birthday...
While I was driving to do my tax return, I received her SMS telling me that her birthday was actually on LAST SATURDAY!!! ...I laughed so loud in my car with disbelieve!!! ...I was so CERTAIN that I thought it was her birthday today, and it turns out that I'm ONE week too late... AIKS!!! ...I remembered I asked her how was her last weekend without knowing it was her birthday too... YIKES!!! ... *I wanna hide*... lolx...
**Sorry Rabbit, I mixed up your birthday with KR's sister's.... =)

BB in Sydney
[ sandi thom ] superman
Guess what??? ...I've been dreaming about baby ever since I came back from my short weekend Sydney trip!!! ...(Is my biological clock ticking as well??)
Anyway, I can really see myself flying to Sydney more often now, totally because Baby Brandon is so cute!!!! ...Baby Celina is going to be very adorable as well in a few months time (because she is only 1 month old now and I dare not hold/carry her due to she's still very fragile)... More photos here!

An Affair with Sleepless In Seattle
[ jimmy durante ] as times goes by
I don't know why I just felt like watching "Sleepless in Seattle (1993)" without any reason... and I'm glad I did!! ...It's such a beautiful movies that I don't think I'd get sick of watching from time to time... It reminded me of the classical movie "An Affair to Remember (1957)" which I watched for the first time during my first Perth trip when I was visiting Rabbit earlier this year.
In Sleepless In Seattle, I particularly like the line when Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) was on the radio talking to Dr.Fieldstone about what is he going to do with his life after losing his wife, and he said:
Anyway, it's funny that I already knew it's a happy ending (cos I probably watched this movie many many times), BUT it still made my heart skipped a few beats worrying about what if they couldn't meet on top of the Empire State Building... lolx...
I had an affair with Sleepless In Seattle tonight, and I am smiling...
Sweet dreams! ... ;)

Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breath in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while."Ahh... Somehow I understand that feeling... it's so true, so right, and so very "there"! ...

You'll hear the little voice in you...
When you slow down and be honest to yourself...
