I have been waiting for today ALL WEEK LONG, it's AUSTRALIA DAY! :D

I have been pining for a day off all week (What is this Jing, it has only been Day 3 of school!), i'm still not used to the 3 hours time difference, (Like i sleep usually around 5am Aussie time when i was home but that's about the time i have to get up to catch my LOOOONGGG train to 'work'! *groans) and the night before, i went out for a drink with friends till the wee hours of the morning, so looks like plans of getting recharged is not happening after all! T_T

Some little updates (Because i feel at the moment, my life just evolves around sleeping & classes HATE!):

1) I FOUND A NEW PLACE! :D It's a cozy little townhouse, but the only problem is that it's unfurnished so i'm toying with the idea of sleeping on a mattress ~~& spend the rest of the $$ on clothes WTF!~~ #nopriorities

2) I FORGOT THE PIN TO MY DEBIT CARD!!!!! How can this happen to me is beyond me, considering i use my debit card alot!

3) My credit card on the other hand is busted, i thought i will escape getting lectured by daddy for overspending but no such luck, the night before i left i was summoned to 'discuss my spendings' FML! He was quite nice about it and told me 'not to buy everything under the sun, be more selective'! When i told this to Ting, she advised me to just shop at night in the future WTF, that one cannot be saved already!

4) I think i got about 12 pairs of shoes in the span of a month WTF and some of them arrived earlier on whee! :) Posted pictures of them on my Twitter! :)))

Some outfit pictures from KL! :)

Dusk Pink Chiffon Blouse w' Tiered Lace Back: Wen's

CNY, Away From Home

2012-01-23T14:19:00.002+08:00

Jon asked me a simple question: 'Did you have fun in KL?' and i burst into tears wtf, still quite emotionally unstable wtf (Hormones, Y U do this to me?)!

Fortunately, i have some great friends here to accompany me for what would-be a very noisy Reunion dinner, i think this is the first time in the past 3 years that i actually make it a point to do my usual superstitious stuff (I'm like the most superstitious person yo!); I managed to find 2 unworn red outfits (in my car boot of all places wtf), refused to shave, snip, cut anything on the first day of CNY and errr also refusing to wash my hair! *shifty eyes*

First picture back in Sydney! :) (NO babies on my flight YESSSS but fml i sat in front of someone who snored like a bulldozer WTF!)

The lovely feast my love cooked up! :) (Not Jon that love wtf!) She served a total of 8 dishes (Very ONG wtf) and each dish has an 'ong' meaning behind it, why so thoughtful wan!

With the chef, trying to rub off some glory! *shifty eyes*

Champagne to welcome the lunar new year! :)

Found a water gun in her apartment and i started terrorizing everyone wtf! #championface

My auspicious looking outfit wtf! :)

That Emo Post

2012-01-20T22:37:00.003+08:00

It's time again to say goodbye. :(((

It doesn't help that i'm pms-ing (I meant perpetual WTF) so i'm extra teary (People who know me well know that i stole Jon's tear glands wtf) and clingy! :( Everytime i'm back i question my decision to apply for internship in Australia, my family means everything to me and i'm not sure if i'm ready to see there for only 1-2 months a year! =/

I'M GONNA MISS YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH + LE GRANDPARENTS! :)

See you guys in 6 months! T_T

Whoever says it gets easier everytime is obviously lying! :(

Ohaiyo Gozaimas Tokyo

2012-01-18T22:55:00.007+08:00

*Warning: VERY picture heavy post*

I love Tokyo so much that i intend to document every single bit of my holiday, so hopefully someday i will look over and realized how ~~funny i used to be wtf (Because i realized my humour diminishes with age FTS!)!~~ much fun we had!

I still smile to myself everytime i look through these pictures.

Remember i mentioned we arrived uber early at the hotel and check-in commences only at 3pm, and we slept over a total of 3 hours the night before on the plane?? So Sergeant Hoe decided that we should conquer TWO spots before we return to check-in for the hotel (No kidding, we were on full-on bootcamp mode), i warned him that my brain was set to shut down at 3pm sharp wtf, he ignored me fml!

After dropping our luggage at the reception, we all ran to the powder room to slab on LOTS of powder wtf (The more powder we put on, the more respect we have for the country wtf! #shallow), i joked that they might not let us collect our luggage after that cos we all will look different wtf! While we washed up in the toilet, Wen realized that every single person who used the sink would actually wiped the sink clean for the next person! O___O WHY IS THIS COUNTRY SO CULTURED? I felt like a barbarian the whole time i was there FML!

So to not lose readership WTF i shall proceed straight to the part when we all had make-up wtf!

First glimpse of Tokyo through Ting's lenses! (Cos we knocked out on the bus ride from Narita to our hotel - I almost fainted when i found out return bus tickets cost Rm 250 per person WTF and i thought the Skybus tickets in Melbourne were expensive, I think i will never be able to travel to Tokyo by myself FML!)

Damn artistic wtf!

For a moment i thought i was in China wtf, i swear there were pandas EVERYWHERE! Even the construction site posters were made of panda with helmets WTF!

Pretended to be interested in flowers to get this shot wtf! Who said blogging was easy wtf!

Panda vending machine! :))) We even saw touch-screen ones! *gung-ho* And apparently daddy said there are some vending machines with free wi-fi (It's impossible to find free wifi in Tokyo) and some selling dirty lingerie! -_-

I was looking at this person with sympathy, bowing down at me when i realized it was my own sister WTF!

Our first destination was at Ueno, a marketplace with lots of street food and 'cheap clothing' (Also costs averagely about Rm 200-400 FJapanese'sLife), according to daddy it's like their version of Petaling Street!

Okonomiyaki (As above!)

Wen has been addicted to carbs as of late, see how greedy she looked?

We were eating the okonomiyaki in the middle of the street (6 of us shared one wtf) when we were told to eat behind this white line HAHAHAHAAHHA! I swear the Japanese society is one of the most orderly, polite & humble society i have ever seen! Like when the girls laugh, they actually cover their mouth, me? I laugh with my head lolled behind wtf! *feels like a barbarian again*

Moving on to takoyaki (octopus balls)!

I tagged Ting as the cat on FB (She has this inexplicable love for cats) when Josh pointed out that this looked more like a dark age Wen HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH FHL!

After lunch (very lazy to post food pictures!), we headed to Ginza, the higher end of Tokyo! :) Apparently they closed the street from cars on weekends! AND THAT WAS WHEN WE SPOTTED THESE CUTIES!!!!! *melts*

(This was when we were in Ueno)

Black Collared Cigarette Coloured Pleated Top: Ting's
Stripey Angora Sweater: Topshop
Leatherette Sheen Skinnies: Zara
Scarf: Burberry
Cigarette Coloured Leather Collar Cape: Ting's

Bag: Miu Miu

I adore the display in Tokyo, SO PRETTY!!!

Cherry on top of the cake! :)))

DORAYAKI!!! We have this almost every night, i think it very well explains the weight gain! T_T

We later had ramen (After we had a good night in the hotel THANK GOD) in Shibuya (We conquered THREE places in one day, bootcamp or not?) and we stumbled upon this cutie made by banana, nuts and wafers!!!

After dinner, we tapau-ed some sushi and sake back to the hotel to wrap up our night! :)))

A toast to an amazing night! :D

Disclaimer: PLEASE dress at your own risk wtf! What we wore DID NOT reflect the true temperature of Tokyo (0-10 degrees), we wore MANY layers underneath and you can't see us shivering in the pictures, not to mention we have exceptional cold tolerance (Ting wears shorts and sheer sleeveless top in Melbourne winter okay!) so please proceed with your own risk wtf!

Mid Week Rant

2012-01-18T00:12:00.002+08:00

Hello all, since you last saw me i:

- Found out i have a TOOTH FREAKIN' FRACTURE WTF! (Who would have thought a tooth can fracture itself wtf) I'm suppose to monitor my condition and if the pain persists, i will have to have my nerve removed thanks fml!

- Went to fine dining with a blocked nose, so i can't taste the difference between truffles and pepper, thanks.

- Busted my credit card and am left with a grand total of Rm 12! *pats head* Good luck to myself.

- Got to know my own sisters with this cute card games (On every table) at Ben's, everyone should try it! :)

- Read that this year is not a good one for me (From a fashion magazine wtf) so the superstitious Jing in me is feeling very uneasy! *contemplates putting feng shui pots and plants in my future home WTF*

Okay if tomorrow is a better day, i promise i will blog more! :D

Cold, Colder, Coldest

2012-01-16T00:53:00.003+08:00

First day in Tokyo (A brief version)!:

We made the mistake of taking a night flight to Tokyo and check-in to the hotel commences at 3pm! -_-

Gulped some champagne at the KLIA Golden Lounge hoping it would put me to sleep but i took just enough to keep me hyper for most of the night FTS!

And we were very clever, we stalked the Tokyo weather and was reassured that it was within the 0-10 degrees range! When our flight landed, the captain announced that it was -5 degrees outside that morning and had the nerve to wish us a pleasant day WTF! I was almost certain that i will immortalize myself as a Jing ice statue WTF!

But all is goooooood! :) Looking at these pictures, you probably wouldn't be able to tell that it was 0-10 degrees right right right? :D

Spot the cutie! :D

HAHAHAHHAHA that kawaii baby actually came up to grab my leg, SHO CUTEEEEE!!! FHL i haven't had time to change my socks WTF!

Wearing a cute teddy cape, chic much? ;P

I think i put on two sizes everyday - One from the layers i put on, the other from all the meals i consumed 'to generate energy' ~~so i can eat more WTF~~!

I LOVE TOKYO

2012-01-13T22:41:00.004+08:00

OMG I LOVE TOKYO!!!!!!! *shouts on top of a cliff*

I don't remember Tokyo being THIS fun (I think it has a bit to do with the fact that i fell sick the last time) but we eat (not enough), shop (not enough), sight-see (enough wtf) and WALK non-stop! Some of the highlight of our trip:

1) The humble Japanese society. Did you know that they insist on bringing your shopping/carrier bags to the entrance for you (I wasn't accustomed to this initially and the SA & I were pulling the carrier bag back & forth ala tarik tali WTF! *shy) and they will bow as you leave the store until you're out of sight! O.O

2) DISNEYLAND! When i got to Disneyland, Brother Hoe told me i became a child again LOL! But when it was time for meals, my appetite returned to an adult wtf!

3) I can has Pierre Herme & Laduree, Paris what? ;P I think the fact that we spent Rm 1k on pastries says alot WTF! (The holiday weight AND APPETITE i gained is NOT FUNNY WEI!)

4) HELLO KITTY OMG!

5) Quality family time! *hearts*

6) Premium outlet shopping & shopping in general!!! *squeals* (Unfortunately, did not manage to take a picture of our buys collectively!)
- We managed to bag (Pun intended hahaha!) Dior, Balenciaga, Tod's, Bally, Prada & Valentino in over an hour.
- On a different day, we managed to grab Marni, Galliano, Ralph Lauren & HELLO KITTY in under 45 minutes. (Shopping time was really tight! T_T)
- And other random designer labels we got along the way: Helmut Lang, Jill Stuart, Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, Commes des Garcons, Paul & Joe Sister.

TOKYO, I LOVE YOU!

Hairy Business

2012-01-11T21:31:00.000+08:00

Below are 2 pictures of my hair after-self-straightening!

Pre-hair cut:

Post-hair cut:

Hair washing is KL is so pretty affordable so i have been getting people to wash and style my hair most of the time so i get pretty hair most of the time, unless i got too lazy or if hair salons get too busy, then i'll straighten and style my hair myself (As above) but unfortunately i can't afford to get hairwashes in Aussie daily (Friggin' $50!) so i would loveeeee to have more manageable hair, something less high-maintenance! =/

I briefly considered straightening my hair but it will ruin my current hair colour! :( I think i have done relaxing before as well but i find it not too different from straightening, would you girls care to share any way i can make my hair more manageable when i return to Aussie? :D

I'd Walk Right Past You

2012-01-10T17:58:00.000+08:00

Reunited with some of my high school friends (I always tell people my high school years were one of the best times of my life, if not a bit dark and hair abit pubic-ky WTF!), some i have not seen for a few years and one of them whom i have not seen for 7 YEARS! O.O (Okay, the fact that i can not see someone for 7 years says alot about my age FML!)

When i saw him, he just greeted me with ':O' and alot of 'I cannot recognize you AT ALL!', and finally ended with a 'If i see you on the streets, i'd walk right past you without knowing it's you!'

We found this picture during dinner:

OKAY WHATTTTTTTT!!! I used to be SO SKINNY, very jealous of my old time self if only i was fairer and with less eyebags WTF! Josh coldly pointed out that Hui Jing (6 years ago) would not survive in today's! T__________T I swear i have seen myself worse than that! T___T

At Plan B, Bangsar! :) I tend to pick local cuisines lately wherever i go because imo most western food here cannot compare to Aussie whereas Asian cuisine in Malaysia is super yums so you will be seeing alot of Asian foodie on VW soon hehe! :D

Reunited... & it feels sooo good! :D

Cannot make it outfit shot! T_T I was initially wearing another pair of pumps (Which i think looked HEAPS better) but i went for pedicure and i was not to wear closed shoes for the next few hours! My pedicurist kindly suggested i wore flip-flops to my dinner FML!

Scarf Styling 101

2012-01-08T12:11:00.001+08:00

For a person who has almost everything, it's always a head-scratching moment when mummy's birthday looms around the corner! We were all pretty pleased with the gift we picked out this time, we got her a Louis Vuitton signature scarf, in time for our Tokyo trip! :)))

Love their packaging! :) (Sorry crappy quality pic from my iPhone!)

Love love! :D No picture of Ting cause she removed all her make-up already fhl!

So here is a styling guide for those of you who fancy scarves WTF!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHH!!!!!!

Disclaimer: The scarf my brother styled is not the same scarf we got for our mum!!! This restaurant that we frequent provides customers with 'LV stole' to protect them from the cold wtf!

2011, The Year That Was

2012-01-03T10:56:00.003+08:00

A little bit late but here's a toast to 2011! :)))

Started 2011 with a bit of a mood dampener -- We were at Genting celebrating Mummy's birthday and the weather was pretty misty that night! Amidst waiting for the fireworks display, we completely miss the beginning of 2011 and not surprisingly, the fireworks display were cancelled! -____-

Had to miss CNY for the second consecutive year, returned to Newcastle feeling extremely homesick. I was really lucky though, my friends were more than happy to host me for my first 2 weeks, making returning to Newcastle a wee bit more bearable.

Commenced clinical school in a brand new place, much closer to Sydney. However, i was homeless for more than a month, so i had to travel back and forth for classes daily! (3 hours of traveling everyday fml! T_T)

Got sick of traveling, found myself a place to stay but i live on top of a hill! The hill is so steep that i always have to stop midway to pant (There was once i swore my lungs fell out wtf), complained to daddy and he got me a car (in time for my birthday)! T____T Why am i so lucky? T____T

Jon moved into his new place and i played right-hand-builder-assistant and a HUGE wood plank fell on my foot the day before i was scheduled to head back to KL for my Easter break (I was really fortunate, i went back home 3 times in 2011!), my foot swell to the size of a dinosaur from the flight FML! Saw an orthopaedic surgeon and he was more worried of my bunions (He suggested i start wearing SNEAKERS! *horrified*) so i ignored him and wore heels right after seeing him FHL!

Visited Seoul for the first time during my Easter Break along with my sisters! :))) I love trips with my sisters cause we're all at about the same adventurous level (We'll go all out to have fun but maybe not jungle-hiking-bungee-jumping-adventurous wtf), must return to Hello Kitty cafe please!

Found my childhood bestie back in Sydney! :))) Who would have thought that 10+ years down the road, we'll end up in another amazing city and the best part is that we can still click like the way we used to! :D

GOLD COAST during my middle-of-nowhere holidays! -__- I swear i have the weirdest holidays ever! T_T

I had mixed feelings about ~~this~~ last year because Ting left Aussie for good in March and you cannot imagine the comfort behind having someone so close to you so close to you wtf (Only 1.5 hours flight away, considering i travel 1.5 hours by train to class! -___-). Nothing significant happened in 2011 but i was happy every single day and i think it's these days that i value the most! :) *zen* I have this person to thank for my happy days in Aussie! :)

2011 has been really kind to me! :) I hope this year will be as good, if not better! :)

Hello 2012!

2012-01-01T11:52:00.005+08:00

Still in a state of daze that today is the start of 2012 already!!! *gasp*

My 2011 flew by so quickly that the only proof i have that 2011 really did happen are the 104810407147407401 pictures i took WTF! 2011 has been a quiet but nonetheless amazing and happy year and i have a lot to be thankful for! I meant to dedicate a 2011 post (Just because being happy deserves a post hehehe) but am hooked to a drama now WTF! Whenever i have some spare time at home, i'll be glued to it! *shifty eyes* Rumour has it that a certain sister of mine celebrated NYE with the drama WTF!

Mumsie's birthday is on NYE (She claims the world will be celebrating with her - TERTYPE 'CELIBATING' WTFFF!) so we spent some time with le family before our respective countdown plans! My parents turned out to be the most happening, coming back the latest FOL!

P/s: Daddy stole my bunny ears WTF!

Here's wishing everyone a HAPPY 2012, hope the year will bring about better things for everyone! ♥

Professional Walrus

2011-12-29T11:28:00.003+08:00

Today is the first day i have some spare time to float around online doing nothing (Because of a cancelled breakfast appointment) but if you asked me what exactly i have been doing since i got back, i will have to give you the biggest blank look and it involves alot of head scratching as well because all i have been doing is just floating around malls (Not even buying much), eating non-stop.

I think i'm just a professional at doing nothing wtf. At the rate i am eating, i might need to buy an additional flight ticket home to accommodate my fat ass! :(

And i think because i have been blogging so sporadically, i don't think i have explained that Jon did not follow me back after all! :( I was excited for the longest time to bring him to my favourite spots in KL (Which Wen later coldly pointed out that nobody ever goes there anymore/they have shut down their business FML, KL Y U move on so fast?), we even got our flight tickets and got our seats side by side when he found out that he has an exam on the day he is scheduled to return to Sydney! :( :( :( So he had to cancel his flights last minute and i had to sit next to someone who has bladder problems WTF! Imagine my shock everytime i open my eyes and see an ass in front of me WTF (I was seated at an aisle seat).

I was doing my usual digging through someone else's wardrobe and i found this 'pony hair' mini skirt in my mummy's closet! :O

And with the red lipstick and new hair, i can barely recognized myself in the mirror! =/

It's A Small World After All

2011-12-26T23:43:00.002+08:00

Happy Boxing Day everyoneeeeeeeee! :)

I have been trying to make full use of my time back home, and by 'making full use' i actually mean i have been out every single day and i have been meeting someone i know every day! *gasp* How small is the world! Wen & I was just talking about one of her bestie and suddenly she turned up behind us, how scary is that? O.O

Because of my current new hair, i get very worried when i see someone i know and i have to repeatedly ask them 'You can recognize me or not?' because i gave myself a scare in the mirror today with my new hair and red lippie (Which i had to remove after for a family dinner just so i won't scare my relatives away wtf!)! So this is how i look like now okay! *announces wtf*

I love my current hair colour, i find it very 'caramel like' but i had a shock of my life when my regular hairdresser Yen ordered *code number i don't know what GREEN colour* WTF! And when i peered into the mixing bowl, this shitty green greeted me! *nervous* But the end product was quite pleasing to the eye IMO, and i'm most glad i don't look that related to the Wicked lead WTF!

And and and i'm having the time of my life digging through Wen's, Ting's and mummy's wardrobe!!! :D I brought back only the bare minimum (3 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of shoes & 3 designer bags) and am living my time off here wearing someone else's clothes! :D Lookie what digging found me? :D Or rather i found it wtf!

Hope everyone had a happy christmas, i can't believe the year is ending so soon!!! :O

It's Christmas Time

2011-12-25T12:22:00.004+08:00

I hope you're spending this Christmas with people you love, with all the happiness you deserve and being fed more than you need and giving more than you will receive! :D

Spending time with people i love:

Unfortunately i can't eat as much as a i wish as the first words out of my grandmother's mouth when she saw me, 'SO FAT ALREADY' and as i was catching up with my sisters in the hall, i can hear her muttering under her breath 'Jiggly arms, big tummy, thunder thighs!' FML MAX!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Now You See Me Now You Don't

2011-12-24T01:35:00.003+08:00

GUESS WHATTTTTTT??

I'M HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :D

After transiting in Singapore before returning to KL (I managed to watch Stephen Chow on the flight and i had to hide under the blanket while my neighbour curiously wander why is the blanket shaking (with laughter) wtf) and being harassed at Central station (My daddy who hasn't seen me for 5 months asked me to take a train from KLIA to Central FML) and minimal sleep - Because i officially started packing at 1am the night before flying home (I MET LEONARDO DICAPRIO THAT NIGHT WTF, tell you more later! *suspense wtf*) and needed to empty the storage to look for some clothes i sold! T___T

So yeah, my point is errr i'm home wtf!!!

And guess who is the first person i chose to see!!!

MY HAIRSTYLIST WTF!!!!

Happily transformed from this (Sorry went for Joker look today WTF)

To this! :))) (Sorry fell sick on my first day back today so no close-up pictures please, i look nothing short of Rudolph, just in time for Christmas i guess! T_T)

What Happens When Your Girlfriend is a Sotong

2011-12-21T08:59:00.002+08:00

It was Jon's birthday the day before and because his girlfriend is blur-er than your neighbourhood sotong, i ended up flopping a few surprises i had planned for his birthday (More like almost every single one! T__T)!

#1: Stealing back the iPhone 4s i got him 2 months ago (Be-early present we call it wtf), 'wrapped' it back up and 'surprised' him with it again! Even self-praised myself for 'downloading the apps he will use' WTF!

#2: Booked a cake for him but ran over to Melbourne and completely forgot about down payment so when i got back, there was no cake! *panics* Went to one of my favourite bakeries and found out that his favourite chocolate cake was gone, so had to make do with MY favourite frangipane tart WTF!

#3: Over dinner, i meant to pretend to go to the toilet so i can inform our maitre'd to pop a candle/scribble some 'Happy Birthday' note on his dessert but when the moment came, i really needed to go to the toilet and forgot about the maitre'd! T___T

#4: Felt a bit better because we still have MY favourite cake waiting for me at home, until i put on 22 candles for his 23rd birthday! -________-

#5: Planned to pop a bottle of sparkling wine during his cake cutting ceremony BUT I FORGOT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE WINE GLASSES AT HOME! *smacks forehead*

But despite all this WTF moments, i hope you had an amazing birthday baby! :))) My life wouldn't be complete if not for your birth (Sounds quite wrong wtf) and thanks for giving me 364 days of MY BIRTHDAY every year HAHAHA! :D

Shall not over-mushy-fied things so i can still be macho in front of him wtf (Cause even though he denies it, i know he secretly is my blog's #1 fan WTF!)!

I LOVE YOU! :)))

How To Turn Round In 4 Days

2011-12-19T21:06:00.002+08:00

Finally back from Melbourne!!!! :))))

For this trip, i planned some extensive food tour in different suburbs and we managed to cover most of the places on my list (We left out one of the tea places i really wanted to try along with a few other random bits and bops!) and i feel as though i have eaten enough to last me till New Year's! -___- We covered so many sweets' places that i still have bags of macarons that i lugged back from Melbourne in the fridge, my pancreas can't handle it wtf!

I'm also down with a massively sore throat now (Josh claims that it's because i talk too much WTF! T__T) and i came home to a pot of warm cod fish and scallop porridge by the boyfriend to nurse my very sore throat (It's so bad that i cannot even finish my amazeballs breakfast this morning! T_T) -- Specifically cod fish and scallops because a friend cooked it for me before and cannot stop raving about it! I have the best boyfriend ever! :))) And it's his birthday today and here i am waiting to be served more porridge WTF!

Alot of stories to be told and pictures to be shared but i'm too tired to go on so NAH SOME PICTURES FOR YOU:

Festive Mood

2011-12-18T20:25:00.002+08:00

Being in Sydney really puts me in the Christmas mood: There's Christmas offers going everywhere, every corner a Christmas tree will peek at me (Did you know i have never had a Christmas tree all my life? T__T), Christmas carols outside major malls and lately, i spotted people wearing Santa hats and reindeer ears on the streets! :D

Because i was feeling so festive, i actually went around seeking for gifts for everyone back home and it was SO MUCH FUN looking for gifts to try to fit everyone's personality! :))) Maybe, just maybe, giving is better than receiving wtf!! :P (Coming from someone's who LOVES gifts okay!)

Will be back tomorrowwwww, there'll probably be a Melbourne post coming up! :)))

Happy Christmas shopping everyone! :)

Psst: Should i be my own Secret Santa WTF? #foreveralone

Weather has been PURR-FECT lately, cool enough for (sheer - Jon: Which top of yours is not sheer ar? *shifty eyes) chiffon tops but warm enough that a blazer at most will suffice! :)

I know it's a tad late to be colour-blocking now but spring/summer is indeed the best time to bring the bright colours out to play! :) On a happy spring day (Though the temperature that day certainly felt like summer more than spring!), i happily paired pink & yellow and with the clear blue skies, it is indeed colour-blocking to the extreme! ;)

I found this amayzinggggg gelato place in Sydney, so much so that i have decided to forgo Freddo's (ONLY my ALL-TIME favourite gelato place in the world - To be fair, i haven't tried many) for my coming Melbourne trip, and that's saying alot! :) (@Messina, The Star)

I loveeeee the pandan coconut (I was told it was too sweet by a friend) and salted caramel white chocolate that i chose! :) Now that there's an awesome gelato 5 minutes away, an inch or two to the waistline is inevitable! T___T

Off to Melbourne tomorrow, mad packing + blogging in advance now! I'm going to be so zombie-fied tomorrow (Wake up call at 7am fml), see i'm such a good blogger! *pats head*

So tell me, what's your favourite colour-blocking combo? :)

I probably forgot to mention (How could i?):

I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH 4th YEAR MEDICAL SCHOOL AND GUESSSSS WHO WILL BE HEADING INTO FINAL YEAR MED SCHOOL SOON??? *jumps up & down*

Virtual Chanel bag to whoever who can guess it right wtf!

I won't deny that i was shaking in my boots everytime the thought of results appearing on my screen, however i wasn't expecting for it to be released on 12am sharp so when i happily popped onto FB to do my usual stalking WTF, i saw shout outs on my FB page regarding the results and my heart pounded 300 beats a minute (Cos it's usually quite fast already fml), i wanted to take a deep breath before i clicked on 'View' but i clicked on it by accidents (fail whale) so i didn't even have time to catch my breath! -_-

The part leading up to my surgical long case (And the most tiring surgical posting) only left me with about 10 days to mug up the entire Medicine syllabus (Which is basically the syllabus which contains every single disease on Earth! T_T) and because i was so busy with Medicine, i completely neglected my Surgery books (I am actually pretty good with Surgery) so i was worried the lack of practice will bring my overall grades down, let's just say this was one whirlwind of a semester! T__T

But i can now finally bersampah masyarakat in peace, for now i can spend 10 hours deciding what to wear, $500 for a meal (If i can find that money! T_T), and shop & drama to the wee hours of the morning and nobody will bother me, WHEE! :D

MELBOURNE THE NEXT DAY, KL THE WEEK AFTER! :D

Mission Impossible

2011-12-13T21:49:00.004+08:00

Everybody seems a little busy today so i went to the city alone to do some shopping with a mission:

TO BUY A PAIR OF JEANS

I don't think i have ever had any outfit pictures to date of me in a pair of jeans!!!

I love skinny jeans but i look like a frikkin' CARROT in one! :( Also, i have been putting it off for awhile because jeans shopping will also mean that i have to find out the size of my waist jeng jeng jeng! *in denial maximum*

I went to the store and met up with a jeans expert (Didn't know there's such a thing!) and i admitted that i can't remember the last time i wore a pair of jeans, she looked at me in shock and told me, 'I don't know what to say, this is foreign to me!' HAHAHAAHA

After trying on many many pair of jeans, i have decided on a pair that is just abit too small (Advice from Josh who bought a pair of Nudies and hopped around for the first 10 times he wore it WTF #truestory) and might have to hop around for abit! T___T SO THERE, MY FIRST PAIR OF JEANS IN A REALLY LONG WHILE! :)

Besides a pair of jeans, i actually ended up with alot of goodies today (Including gifts for my family! :D It feels SOOO good buying gifts for someone else! :D), including SPARKLY stuff! *melts*

It has been awhile since i last really shopped! Sure i do get 2 dresses here and 5 tops there but for someone who used to REGULARLY buy 2 weeks worth of clothes in a day (I think my record was 28 in a day WTF, what is yours ar? *scared to find out*), i think i have done well! :) Maybe because as i grew up (and sideways fts), i value quality alot more than quantity! :)

Feeling very very happy today! *skips*

Jing Junior

2011-12-12T18:18:00.003+08:00

I was telling Jon about teenager Jing that day when he told me he wished that i will be like teenager Jing again! -_________-

Then: When i was in my teen years, i used to sit beside my daddy every night after work (For him), assisting him while he battle demons and monsters in the computer screen, we'll spend other times discussing how to fight off the next big thing! Diablo 2, Doom, Command & Conquer, you name it i have played it!

Now: Somehow when i got a little older, i now sit beside my mummy, flipping through magazines and we'll spend other times discussing how to cheat my dad to buy us something! -___- Chanel, Louis Vuitton, YSL, you name it we have bought it WTF!

So yeah, F Jon's Life wtf! :P

***

I am usual not a fan of pub grub but i have read some pretty amazing reviews on Lowenbrau's and pork for me is all kinds of yes please! :D It was pretty cute to see all the waiters & waitresses dressed in cute native uniforms, Lowenbrau itself is made to resemble a cellar/medieval underground! However, we got too claustrophobic seated inside that we were moved outside after!

Mango beer for the lady! (Ahem ME! :D) I'm not a huge fan of beer, they make me feel bloated and i freaked out whenever i hear people telling me about beer belly (I mean as it is i already have one to worry about, i don't need any other factors to make it bigger! T_T)!

Jon's veal schnitzel which tasted like any cut of mean, schnitzel style wtf!

My pork knuckle, which was HUGE! I always like to order manly options (MEAT PLEASE!) so the waiters always have trouble guessing which dish is mine, they always give the smaller portion to me and i will have to tell them 'No no no, THAT's mine!' and they will have to return a look of horror! #storyofmylife

Jon's garden salad, i never understood the fascination behind salads! *look of disgust*

Take Charge

2011-12-10T20:55:00.006+08:00

I think one of the things i love most about Australia is that water is always offered FOC! #elcheapo (Though i think that's not always the case, i think Rockpool charged me and Jon BY THE HOUR for water once, though i may be wrong!) I also remember La Bodega in Bangsar once served me an Rm 13 bottle of water (For one fml) and i refused to go to the toilet for the longest time to make the most of the Rm 13! *sweatdrop* #badwaterexperience

I love having a breakfast affair but i always struggle to get up in time for it (I swear most Aussies sleep at 9pm and are up by 7am so i can never quite compete with them!) so lucky us, Fouratefive in Surry Hills serves breakfast till pretty late! :) (FYI, it took me half of breakfast to figure out that Fouratefive actually stands for the number of the shop, #485! :P)

Jon's cappuccino. (I don't know why i can't spell cappuccino for the life of me, thank God for spell checker! T_T)

I prefer my chai latte non-complicated, thank you very much.

Jon with his lunch selection (Because we got there at around 1-ish, HEE!): Roast beef w' onion relish, fresh tomato, dijon mustard, aioli, polski ogorki, & cos lettuce on grilled sourdough.

I picked the Moroccan baked eggs w' almonds, labne & organic sourdough. I found the labne and tomato based overpowered the whole dish, making it too sour for my liking though i have heard of many who enjoyed the dish, maybe it's just not to my taste! :(

I don't like my smile pfft! *act cool*

And lately, i have been trying to be a bit more health conscious because my diet consists of a lot of fatty food and SWEETS (Can't live without them!), at the moment i don't think i can strip off my eating habits yet, *bite nails* but i have started picking up gym again and am making a conscious effort to eat more vegetables (My arch enemy WTF!)!

I was browsing around the internet and came across Yoga By The Sea (How beautiful is that? Even highly recommended by Lonely Planet, where i stole the picture from!) and am tempted by it! I have never tried yoga but from the looks of it, it looks pretty relaxing, which would probably suit my exercise tolerance level -- Equivalent to the exercise capacity of a snail wtf! Am still not sure if i should sign up for it but the view seems too pretty to pass!

Disappearing Act

2011-12-08T19:17:00.004+08:00

So much for committing back to regular blogging! *hides behind a cupboard* But i swear i have a valid reason this time, my tallest friend came over to visit and we have been surviving on loads of coffee (For them) and loads of ~~food~~ chocolate (For me HEHEHE!) and i sound like a croaking toad now! T___T I lose my voice whenever i have fun (They don't call me LOUDSPEAKER for nothing wtf!) so it's all good!

I'm smarter this time around, instead of risking looking like a midget next to super-tall-friend, i made sure all our pictures are taken when we were all seated! *pats own head for brilliant idea wtf* And there's nothing i love more than bringing people around Sydney (Though i find it a tad tricky to not hurt their wallet too much when traveling with me! *hangs head in shame*)!

Pigsty

2011-12-05T19:26:00.006+08:00

Hi, do you miss this face wtf?

Jon and I have been busy depigsty-ing out current place because we will have a friend over TOMORROW! I have clothes strewn all over his apartment, clothes that i might wear over the summer in my car boot and clothes i do not plan to wear till next year in the storage! *sweatdrops* So my bestest boyfriend decided to get me a set of new cupboard, shoe cabinet and some random storage boxes to store my clothes currently in his place! :)

At the moment, i managed to stow away all my stuff in Jon's place, with a little space to spare, so i might be able to move up a portion of my 'summer wardrobe' from the car boot! \O/ I did warn Jon that my wardrobe will continue to increase over time though! *shifty eyes*

But this is my proudest drawer, feels like a mini store when i uncover my accessories! :)

This was during my peak stress period during exams, i took a couple of hours off for a nice relaxing afternoon (Which turned not so relaxing after when it started pouring cats and dogs and Jon had to remove his jacket to shield us both from the rain as we run across to catch public transport! T_T) at Capital Grill, Circular Quay! The rain ruined my plans for a nice relaxing walk along the harbour! T_T I swear i spent most of my time doing nothing in Sydney, my favourite moments are those whereby i walk around and do nothing, don't know what got into me!

Love my bright green blazer, unfortunately Spring has only been around for a few weeks and suddenly it's scorching hot so i have to hide away my blazers soon! :(

Tapas platter! :)

(Clockwise from Right): Crumbed Fried Chicken, Dipping sauce, Lamb Cutlet, Garden Salad, Chorizo Sausage & Kipfler Potato, Sourdough, Chilli Prawns, Stuffed Zucchini Flowerettes, Steamed Mussels in White Wine.

Dessert: Creme brulee w' Pink grapefruit granita and almond tuille. I love the creme brulee but did not quite fancy the pink grapefruit granita, found it a tad bland for my liking!

Sparkly

2011-12-03T07:53:00.002+08:00

Was let out loose to terrorize the malls for the first time in awhile yesterday and my eyes were kept so busy everywhere: new LV store in the city, sale signs up here & there and the Christmas deco up QVB and The Strand Arcade put me in a happy giving mood! :) I was in such a happy giddy mood yesterday that i missed my usual stop and got dropped off one suburb away! -______-

On the top of my Christmas wishlist at the moment *hint hint hint* is this gorgeous pair of Zara sparklies! :D But i'm Queen of Superstition and i do not allow anyone to buy me shoes as gifts! :( Like at this point i was so superstitious, i actually HAD to have a glass of water in a specific pink cup every night to ensure that i have a good day the day after! -___- *quite shy*

Omg how gorgeous is this, i can't seem to locate it anywhere in the Aussie Zara store though! :( Has any of you seen it in the Malaysia store yet? :)

Salvatore Ferragamo sparkly Varinas! :)

Guess which of the above did i buy? *not much of a guess wtf* And also a gift i got for a friend, see there's perks in being my friend WTF!

I love love love love sparkly goodies! *sparkle in eye* ;)

\O/

2011-12-01T21:09:00.002+08:00

I probably forgot to tell you guys this yesterday but:

MY EXAMS ARE OVERRRRR!!! \O/ (My favourite emoticon at the moment! *shy)

Albeit there is a possibility that i might fail this semester (HOMG the MCQ paper was hair-pulling stressful, not that it was hard per se but the answers were so closed that i had a hard time picking only one *fickle-minded*, it did not help that i only had 2 hours of sleep the night before! T___T), i still cannot help but float in the moment, enjoying the joys of life whereby the biggest stressor i face day-to-day at the moment is to decide what to eat next and where to go after (Nothing to do with what i would wear next because temporarily, a portion of my wardrobe is living in my car boot! -____-)!

All that is left to do now is to plan what i want to do for my remaining 3 weeks here, then my trip to Melbourne & Tokyo ~~and pray every single night that i somehow manage to pass both my mcq papers wtf~~! *big smiles* :)

If there was such a thing as a 'good body day', i probably had one of those that day (Or it could have just been the extra 5 inches my shoes brought me! *shifty eyes*), i'm so round now it's not funny! T___T Like when i make a certain face, Jon had to alert me 'DOUBLE CHIN, DOUBLE CHIN!' quite often these days so i can quickly tuck it back in WTF! I'm considering wrapping a ribbon from my chin upwards to tighten it WTF!

Happy Macaron Day

2011-11-30T11:54:00.006+08:00

When the sun was up (In my world, the sun rises at 12pm thank you very much!), i dragged Jon to join the queue outside of Adriano Zumbo to celebrate Macaron Day! :) Apparently every year, he will throw a Macaron Day on his birthday whereby all his stores will only exclusively sell macarons and this year, there was an eye-popping 60 flavours to choose from!

We actually each got 4 page leaflet to choose our flavours from! *sweatdrops

I think that's a brilliant idea to make business out of fickle minds like mine! T_T

There were some daring savoury flavours, including Fried Chicken & Salt & Pepper Calamari WTF *points below* and the likes of ramen and vegemite! *gulps* I was brave enough to get a Fried Chicken and OMG IT WAS SO WEIRD!!! Imagine a crumbed ball with a semi-sweet tuna textured filling with CHICKEN flavour! -____- Jon enjoyed it but i cringed when i think about it!

I cannot wink if my life depends on it! Too much tension in the mouth and eyes like mouse wtf!

I finally settled with 12 different flavours & Jon dragged me out of the store in time, otherwise i would have bought all 60 flavours and spent some $150 on macarons! -_-

SO PRETTY!!!

(From L-R: Fried chicken, maple syrup pancake, peanut butter & jelly, redskin, finger bun, custard crunch, salted butter popcorn, strawberry bubblegum, cherry coconut, toasted marshmallow, baklava, 70% chocolate.)

We couldn't remember which flavour was which so we had to try them and refer to the brochure we received and guessed which flavour was which! Surprisingly, it wasn't too hard to guess, most of the flavours tasted true to its name, felt like a Willy Wonka moment lol! Some of my favourites:

Maple syrup pancake: Who would have thought you can instill flavours of a pancake to a macaron? To be fair, the macaron tasted strongly of maple syrup so it was easy enough to identify.

Peanut butter & jelly: You can actually see the clear distinction between peanut butter & jelly! :) Being pretty helps hehe!

Redskin: Jon told me this is a candy (Is it only available in Aussie or have i been missing a chunk of my childhood?) but it's chewy on the inside (In a good way), sweet with a hint of sour-ish, LOVE IT! :D

Salted Butter Popcorn: I love the interesting popcorn shells with butter as it's filling, i felt guilty as f*ck after eating it but SO GOOD!

Toasted Marshmallow: Once again, how do you make a macaron taste 'toasted' without burning any bits?

Love Macaron Day, so to you: Happy Macaron Day! :)

30%

2011-11-27T18:59:00.003+08:00

Today is Macaron Day at Adriano Zumbo so i excited dragged Jon to queue over 60 different macaron flavours! :) Adriano Zumbo exclusively created 60 new & old flavours for Macaron day and in all his patisserie today, only macarons can be found for sale! :) (Imagine flavours like ramen, FRIED CHICKEN which i actually tried -_-, pancakes with maple syrup etc)

Not sure if i was too excited or what, i was using my phone in the car and when i returned from Adriano Zumbo, my phone was nowhere to be found! I suspected that i had my phone on my lap and when i got out from the car, it fell off my lap to the floor (Lost my phone once like that FML! T__T), i went back to the carpark and my phone was nowhere to be found so i was devastated! T__T I was thinking of swapping my 3gs to the 4s but not at such an inconvenient time, near my exams! :(

THENNNNN i got an FB message from Jon, apparently someone picked up my phone and called Jon!!! =') The people here are sooo nice! *chokes in tears* It was just abit awkward as i have been FB-ing and tweet-ing about my phone and errr my phone gets notifications so the kind soul must have had a ball reading my compliments to her! *shy*

And and and this is not funny but i started doing practice MCQ questions for my exams today and i have been consistently scoring 30-40% FML! The amount of detail they go into, NOT FUNNY! T____T

Happy macaron day everyone! :) (See that macaron on the far left? That's fried chicken for you WTF!)

This Week

2011-11-26T08:04:00.006+08:00

1. Fruit loops, the current cereal that i'm eating, much like this Malaysian cereal my brother loves which the name i forgot! :( This cannot hold a candle to my favourite Honey Stars, the ONLY cereal which will leave the milk honey in taste after, YUMS!

2. Probably the only sweet thing i had all week (WHAT Fruit loops are not THAT sweet!), no wonder i was grumpy all week!

3. My companion for the week, the week needs to be over already.

4. A pop in colour to brighten up the most mundane outfit! :)

5. New shoes. I just realized i do not own a single pair of yellow heels, there you go.

6. Some new clothes i got this week, all in extra happy colours to cheer me up over this difficult study week. :)

A few more days Jing, a few more days! Happy week everyone!

The Early Bird Catches the Worm

2011-11-24T22:00:00.005+08:00

... and the mother bird is obviously lying wtf.

On the rarer mornings that i actually decide to wake up early 'to catch the worm', i end up snoozing my alarm 184747397395933 times before i finally ~~decide to throw my iPhone down 8 floors (THAT'S FOR DARING TO WAKE ME UP!) wtf~~ get my lazy arse out of the bed and risk getting thrown down 8 floors by my boyfriend by waking him up as well! This long & tedious process means that my original plan to visit the beach after breakfast can no longer be realized (Because i had classes scmasses after! *grumbles)! :(

Chai latte AND orange juice to start the morning, talk about greedy birds HEH! :P And for some reason, the Chai latte here is not the least bit sweet and i feel awfully greedy whenever i have to put in sugar myself because y'know when someone else did the dirty job, you can pretend to adhere to the one-teaspoon-a-day rule! *in-denial

My brioche french toast with bananas, candied bacon and maple syrup! CANDIED BACON! O.O I have heard about it but this is my very first time trying it and it was all a little awkward because bacon is one of the most savoury things i can think of but it surprisingly doesn't taste TOO weird!

Jon's big breakast (That's the only thing he ever eats for breakkie! -_-)!

Pretty funky interior of the cafe! :)

I usually take pride in my kempt self but when my biological alarm is turned upside down, i ended up looking quite sloppy and touristy-like fts! =/

Valentine's Day - A Rare Occasion

2011-11-23T10:47:00.006+08:00

I just realized that some of my pictures from early this year were in a separate folder (Yeah, i usually browse through my pictures to decide what i want to talk about for the day heh!) and i stumbled upon pictures from Valentine's Day this year, WHAT HAS IT ALMOST BEEN A YEAR ALREADY? *gasp*

I really need to have a talk with my mummy regarding my birth date WTF! Being born 3 days after Valentine's Day means that i always only receive only one gift instead of two, one celebration instead of both boo! T___T This was the first time i celebrated my Valentine's Day with Jon and he was about to commit this crime when i quickly stepped in (Like i always do! *shifty eyes*) and told him we needed every excuse to celebrate! :D

So soon after, i was whisked off to Valentine's Day dinner! *pumps fist in air* :D Of course, not without this badge that came along with the card that i got Jon! :D I made him wear if everywhere for the entire day HAHAHAHA, i love my boyfriend! :)

Dinner was at Bel Mondo, The Rocks; a pretty restaurant perched at the historical The Rocks with decent views of the Sydney Harbour! Unfortunately for us, the restaurant was pretty full that night so we did not manage to get window seats by the harbour! T_T

All ready for a big meal! *rubs belly*

We started off with complimentary bread roll and an amuse bouche (Which i can't for the life of me remember what it was now, but judging from the colour i'm guessing cucumber WTF!)

Course #1: Pan fried scallops w' ham hock, avocado & shiso.

Halfway through the first course, we heard some sparkling sound and a peer out the windows told us that some romantic donkey is putting out some fireworks for some lucky donkey! *glares at Jon* He then quickly pulled out the 'Baby, i was the one who ordered for the fireworks' trick! -_-

Course #2: Chicken liver parfait w' grilled brioche and peach wine jelly. I remember really enjoying this except for the fact that i found the chicken liver parfait vs. bread ratio a tad off!

Course #3: Open ravioli of sauteed prawn and asparagus with vanilla scented carrots, sauce vierge and micro herbs

Course #4: Pan fried John Dory w' creamed leeks & grain mustard, rosemary jus.

Course #5: Crispy skin barramundi on parsley mash.

While waiting for desserts, i started being very ridiculous! :P But hey, at least my headband looked pretty here, it's a gift from Sister Wen! ♥

Chocolate fondant w' vanilla bean ice cream.

Citrus terrine w' honeycomb, cream & crumble.

Attempting to look demure & sweet for Valentine's Day! :)

Itchy Hands

2011-11-21T20:47:00.004+08:00

Update: New updates and PRICES SLASHED at Boudoir! :)

One fine afternoon, i decided that i HATED my hair to no end (I got playful and curled my hair for a night out and since then, my hair has been most unruly, leaving me with no choice but to continuously curl it! :( ) and i remember at some point, i actually really liked having nice straight bangs! So high and low i went in search of my pair of scissors, then *snip snip*! *gasp*

I don't think it's all that bad but i don't know what took over me to make that decision - to cut my hair MYSELF! -____- Jon got the shock of his life when i picked him up later from uni, HEE! :P

My first day with my new (self-cut) hair - Also the day i collapsed! T___T I just heard news that apparently i flashed everyone when i collapsed, WHY CAN'T I COLLAPSED IN A GLAMOUROUS WAY LIKE HOW WE ALWAYS SEE IN MOVIES INSTEAD OF SPRAWLING ON THE FLOOR FML! T___T And i'm so clever, i hid half of my giant body behind Janet! *pats self on head* :)))

Okay back to the books, BLEK! :(((

EXAMS, Y U NO OVER YET?

You Have to FEED ME

2011-11-20T22:35:00.006+08:00

Just as i was about to start starving myself to shed off some kilos (Ohmigosh i only have about a month more to go before i head home and i desperately need to lose some weight, otherwise i will get teased by everyone in my household including Linda my domestic helper and BB the dog FML!), i collapsed in the middle of a cocktail event! T___T

The paramedics had to fun to my rescue (I remember fearing the need to hire a helicopter to transport me to the hospital WTF because the cocktail event was held in a deserted island!) and i was told it's probably from a drop in blood sugar because i haven't had anything to eat all day after deducing that there's no way that i would have collapsed after ONE glass of cocktail (Little did they know that my alcohol tolerance is THAT bad! T_T) so i guess starving myself is off the books now! :(

Maybe it's a little karma as well because i skipped studying for some fun! *shifty eyes* Back to the books for me! :(((

Date Night

2011-11-18T20:02:00.005+08:00

This is called a date NIGHT because we tend to date during the day most of the time now! The reason behind it makes me shy to admit but it's actually because day time produces nicer pictures!!

The reason behind our date night was because we ended up getting up at around 3pm so dinner at 5.30 pm seems apt enough! I was massively craving for PORK RIBS om nom nom noms and Hurricane's at Darling Harbour is KERAY-ZEH, despite having a reservation, we still had to queue behind a string of people before we can go to the server, AT 5 FRIGGING 30 pm! -_- I mean who eats dinner at 5.30pm?

House roll, on the house! :)

Jon's cheeky face depicted his actions after, he whacked most of our bread until i shot him my signature 'SCARY-ONE-EYEBROW-RAISED-LOOK' before he stopped HAHAHAHA! Okay, i have a confession to make, i can only raise ONE eyebrow and wink with ONE eye! T_T And whenever i try to flirtatiously wink, people think i have a stroke or an epileptic attac, twitching around all of a sudden FML!

Caesar salad as entree! :)

And the full rack of pork ribs! *wipes drool* I know it looks humongous and all but we actually proceeded with dessert after dinner and i was hungry again 2 hours later WTF!

Please do not be fooled by my demure exterior!

Because deep down i could have auditioned for Planet of the Apes and probably end up with an extra role or two WTF! And the ribs tasted SO MUCH BETTER when i eat them off the bones, WITH MY HANDS!!! And and and do you noticed i have girly nails all over again? *shy* I just realized that now that surgery has ended, i can leave the length of my nails till it curls up (Okay quite gross!) and nobody can say a thing! #happiness

And right after, we risked paying another $10 for parking and walked over to The Star for Adriano Zumbo's DESSERT TRAIN (Yes you heard right, it's like a sushi train, only with desserts, yums! :D)! :) I shall leave that for another post! :)

This skirt was originally a midi skirt, which looked alright by itself but somewhere when worn with this top, i looked like Grandma Jing so in an attempt to spice things up, i knotted the skirt to give it an asymmetric outlook, i quite like the outcome! :)

Okay i have to get this off my chest, why is my Blogger blue all of a sudden? :( Blue is a boy's colour wtf! #childish

Okay back to business, doing what i do best: RANT! Remember i mentioned i was really busy moving out right after my exams? I forgot to mention that i actually have to clean the unit (sparkling) clean (I did not know about the sparkling part then!) and one day later, i got a call from my agent with a LONG list (I'm not kidding you, something like 40-50 on the list) of things that i need to clean SOME MORE!

It was most annoying as the a lot of the things on the list have already been cleaned, i think they expect a speckless house! :(

So i was told to drive 1.5 hours back and another 30 minutes further up north to collect the keys, clean up the place and drive 30 mins up north again to return the keys before driving back to Sydney (Which all in all will take about 4 hours, JUST DRIVING!), i think we have all simultaneously agreed to hire a professional cleaner now! Damn, if i knew, i wouldn't have bothered with the cleaning in the first place! :( And of course, professional cleaner in Aussie do not come cheap, we're looking at a monthly domestic worker salary in Malaysia (And not the Rm 300-400 ones!)! *emo cow*

***
Lunch at the funky El Loco, i was most attracted to this place because it serves up $5 tacos whee! :D I didn't expect myself to love the funky exterior, so colourful! :D

See even the bucket to fill the cutlery is of a bright happy shade of yellow! :D

And funky wallpaper! :)

Cutest salt and pepper cannister, i wanted to steal one home so badly but they outsmarted me! T_T On the bottom of each skullie, there's a massive sign saying it's the property of El Loco! T_T

Hello! :)

And we ordered all the tacos they have that day, and i think we got a selection of prawn, beef, chicken and pork! PORK taco, now that's a first! :P

I love the tacos here, they were all pack full with flavour! :) They were of moderate sizes too but with Jing's giant like appetite, i needed at least 4 of these to keep me happy (Excluding dessert WTF!)

We had the churros chocolate ice-cream which was a little disappointing! It tasted abit like yau char kweh (Y'know, the long fried stick wtf! I am so descriptive wtf! T__T) with Macca's choc sundae! =/

My #winning expression, don't know where did that come from! -_-

I'm still in my post-exams mood, but little did my brain knows that there's another exam coming up soon! *grumbles*

Missing in Action

2011-11-12T17:13:00.004+08:00

Update: New updates at Boudoir, don't miss out! :)

I just had my surgical long case today and boyyyy it was INTENSE!!!

But I PASSED IT WHEE-HEE!!! *jumps up and down in joy* But instead of reveling in joy, i had to run back and quickly pack up my stuff and move out of my current place so i must say today is pretty celebration fail! T___T Not to mention the fact that the Miu Miu clutch that i planned to get myself (If i passed my surgical long case that is!!) is all sold out at Net-a-porter, SAD! :(

And on a completely random note, i got myself a few pairs of shoes off ASOS that day and i was happily waiting for it UNTIL i realized 2/3 packages that i got from there were being sent off back to KL!!! I was worrying about how am i gonna explain to my daddy regarding my ASOS transactions and i came up with this brilliant plan to call ASOS a bookstore which stands for 'A Slice of Smart' WTF, when i conveyed this to Jon, he coldly pointed out that it can just be 'A Secret of Shopping' FTS! T_T

I will not be able to retrieve my package till Dec and by then i will probably no longer like the things i bought FML!

Ribena

2011-11-12T17:07:00.005+08:00

Jon popped two buttons from his shorts and i cannot stop laughing at him until i realized i'm just a case of the pot calling the kettle black! Summer is definitely around the corner (It's almost to the point that i sometimes rather stay in the hospital than to head home because there's air-conditioner in the former! -_-) and i cannot no longer hide beneath my jackets! *gulps*

I remember there was this secret joke that Jon and I had that someday we will become like Ribena (Remember how Ribena looks like? If you don't, just picture a purple sphere WTF!) BUT I DID NOT THINK IT WILL BE SO SOON! Despite the 'tumour' poking out from my clothes, i still cannot help planning my weekly meals, i totally deserve this! T___T

***

I probably forgot to mention that sometime ago, i DIY-ed my hair touching up, because i'm cheap like that! After 20 minutes of struggling, i must say i did a pretty good job, minus the fact that i also dyed myself brown WTF!

And if i'm not wrong, they will be giving out FREE GOODIE BAGS to the FIRST 50 CUSTOMERS each day and i think it includes some vouchers and some super cute bows! :D And if that's not tempting enough, you will also be in the running to win a Rm 500 voucher from them! :)

11/11 - 13/11, 11am - 9pm.

Can someone please collect a goodie bag on my behalf? :(

ANTICIPATE

2011-11-10T19:31:00.003+08:00

I can't believe i'm at the end of my surgical posting already! :) I remember dreading it so bad that i made Jon hold me a one-week mourning ceremony whereby we just did whatever i wish (SHOP SHOP SHOP EAT EAT FAT FAT FML!) before i sadly removed my nail polish that night and snipped my fingernails really short, felt as though i was being recruited into the army wtf! #dramaqueen

I have an assessment next Tuesday *hyperventilates* and i'm officially done with surgery! This of course calls for ANOTHER one-week celebratory session, tee-hee! Love takin' whatever opportunity i can to have fun! :D

This may sound very blonde, but the thing i'm most excited about post-surgery is to have pretty nails again! :D

Dirty Jokes

2011-11-08T21:04:00.004+08:00

Let me share some dirty jokes with you! :D Don't worry, it's only awkward when your parents try to tell you a dirty joke wtf (My mummy loves telling us dirty jokes in public with her LOUDSPEAKER voice FOL, in case you're wondering where we got our LOUDSPEAKER gene from WTF!)

1. If I ever got the chance to name a Road, I'd call it 'Skin Road' Just so I could laugh at the people at number 4.
2. Life is like a penis, it's short but seems so long when it gets hard.
3. This on a plate:

HEHEHEHEEHE!

So we were at Otto Ristorante at Woolloomooloo, the nice wharf overlooking the city which doesn't sound too nice at all when we stumbled upon the highly suggestive looking nut (Okay even saying this sounds suggestive wtf!) on Jon's dessert! :P

I got Jon the iPhone 4s for his birthday (Which is still months away!) and since then he's been touching his phone more than me wtf! I hate hate hate seeing one party of a couple reading the newspaper when they're out on a date (So inappropriate right? Either that or the other party is really boring fhl!) and guess what? I just realized one of Jon's favourite activities now is to read the news from his phone while he's out with me FML!

Otto is famous for its olive bread, but me being not a fan of olives gave this a pass!

I usually prefer my bread with butter but the olive oil served at Otto was really fragrant! :) Jon and i wiped off every last drop of it! :P (SORRY WAISTLINE! T_T)

Rocket salad!

Our main: Confit duck leg, mushroom puree, potato, sauteed mushrooms, cavolo nero and duck sauce. The duck was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and everything on the plate works perfectly well together, i will be more than happy to eat this over & over again! :)

The boyfriend & I! :) (When he actually tears his eyes off his phone fml!)

And the infamous Chocolate pine nut mousse dome with mastic gelato, cocoa nib tuille, pine nut crumbs and 'almond teardrops' aka sperm nuts WTF!

My too-pretty-to-be-eaten Saffron custard w' blood orange and aperol sorbet, milk dust, pink meringues, crystallized lilac petals and baby rocket. I was sold at the sound of pink meringues! :)

Finally ended our meal with earl grey! :) You can probably tell we definitely had too much to drink on that table! :P

Goodbye Clothes

2011-11-05T09:32:00.005+08:00

Update: Pretties up for sale, don't miss out at Boudoir Boudoir! :)

Jon drove me back to ulu town on Friday for class whilst he dismantle my study table (I'm moving out in about 2 weeks! O.O), he was still assembling the pieces together neatly (OCD max that one!) while i sit on the bed and blow on my fingernails WTF! :P Since Jon is around, i wanted to move out most of my stuff so i don't have to lug HUGE bags by myself! And after we loaded his car full of my stuff, he went back into my walk-in, took a peek and asked 'Are you sure you packed anything at all?' *GULPS*

And all in all, it took us 12 hours to get to ulu town and pack-up! *drops to ground* (So much for TGIF! T_T)

I packed up 3 huge bags of clothes that i think i will no longer wear (Though i don't do well with parting with my belongings, so as the time goes by, the bags may get smaller! *shifty eyes*), so head on over to Boudoir for the latest rounds of updates! :))) Some of the goodies up for grabs:

Do me a favour and clear them for me k! :D

***
In an attempt to procrastinate from studying, i managed to persuade Jon to help me snap some backlogged outfit pictures (You don't want to know what i did to get him to do me this favour WTFWTF!), maybe i should start encouraging him to read fashion blogs so he knows what to be done FHL! :P

With my favourite spring blazer from Azorias! I think i have wore it easily 4 times since Spring started! :) Jon the meanie will put on faces whenever i wear something similar/repeat the same outfit PFFTTT!

I find the fuchsia + yellow combination refreshing! :)

Received my new clutch that day and when i unwrapped it, Jon asked innocently 'Baby, why did you buy a giant pencil case?', so innocently that i cannot bring my heart to smack him! MEN! -___-

Manly Pavilion

2011-11-05T08:41:00.006+08:00

Update: Pretties up for sale, don't miss out at Boudoir Boudoir! :)

Remember i was all worried about adding my mummy to FB? Besides her spamming my FB with alot of message that i do not understand, i actually quite enjoy sneaking peeks at her FB page, just cause i'm curious what would someone her age do on FB HAHAHA i'm damn cold! :P

Let me quote you some examples of her text messages/FB wall posts:
1) My mummy has this tendency to only like to spell the first 3 alphabets in a sentence. Eg: App can mean anything from apply to application to appropriate to appreciate so it's like a puzzle trying to decipher her messages! -___-
2) There was once, she texted Wen with a 'U 1 go pbb?' When Wen showed it to Ting, Ting replied her with a 'ABCDE?' HAHAHAAHAHAHA!
3) My brother once texted my mummy with an 'XOXO' and she was all upset because my brother sent her an 'X' HAHAHAHAHAHH!

This is only the tip of the iceberg! -___-

***
I stumbled upon the (VERY HUGE) folder of pictures of my sisters' last trip here for Ting's convocation! =') I got such a big smile when i saw this picture, the three of us looked so pretty! (I know my face is overly white but you know i aspire to be as fair as a geisha right wtf!)! I planned to bring them (Along with Wen's colleagues from Singapore) to Manly to witness the sunset at Manly Pavilion, a gorgeous restaurant perched right at the shore with an open dining area! :) We were on the ferry to Manly island in this picture hence our hair were all over the place!

Please do not be fooled by Ting's calm pretty face, we were all shivering from the cold ESPECIALLY THIS NINJA! -_____-

We managed to catch the sunset, ngawww! Unfortunately we spent too much time before slabbing on powder to our faces wtf, we couldn't enjoy sunset while we dine (Which was the plan, but when you put three girls together, plans usually do not go as err planned wtf! *lack of adjectives* T_T)

These pictures were taken pre-Canon S95, they do not do the view justice! :( Unfortunately for us, the outdoor area only cater for groups of 2s and 4s (We were a party of 6) hence we were placed inside!

Table setting! :)

Bread for the tum-tums!

Ting's Pepper risotto: Acquerello Carnaroli rice, sage and Taleggio cheese which looked alot like someone regurgitated yesterday's lunch! =/ I reckon a few microherbs and flowers would do the trick! #ToomuchMasterchef :D

I think this might be the Cavatelli, milk fed lamb, cherry tomato olive and oregano though it has been almost a year since, i really can't remember now! :(

Sedanini, pork and fennel sausage, chicory and chilli which was only mediocre in my opinion but i'm keen to give Manly Pavilion another shot because of its view! :P

Jon's Roast Half Duck (Or it could be another protein, fail whale Jing) :P

I snapped Wen this nice and bright picture of them! (Remember very grainy because it's pre-Canon S95 era! T_T)

And looked what she shot of us! T____T And i'm not sure if i'm being nitpicky but my face looked WAY sharper then, have i put on so much weight in just about a year? :(

Chocolate, peanut caramel ice cream

Gargazonla ravioli drizzled with honey, i remember feeling really weird when the gargazonla burst out, acquired taste i must say! =/

Rice cream, walnuts and toasted farro gelato which was light and nice! :)

Ting put on this weird option which alien-ize everyone's face, i think i will make a pretty good looking ALIEN! :D

I WANT MY SISTERS HERE.. NOW!!!!!!

Insincere Blogger

2011-11-03T19:56:00.003+08:00

Update: FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW (HOW CAN?!), TING GOT INTO THE TOP 24 FOR MASTERCHEF MALAYSIA!!!! *SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS*

For those who follow my blog, you will know that i am the BIGGEST fan of Masterchef Australia, and after this particular cake she made me for my birthday:

I have been poking for her to join Masterchef (Unfortunately Masterchef OZ is only opened to residents of Australia so imagine my excitement when we found out that there's gonna be Masterchef in Malaysia! :D)!

Ting in her Masterchef apron! =')

Catch her updates by LIKING HER PAGE! :D

***

Okay be warned, insincere post coming up! :P

I just realized my exams are coming up in THREE WEEKS omg omg omg! *hyperventilates* I have to cover the entire general surgery and medicine scope which is basically everything yo FML! I have a long case (For you non-medical folks, it basically involves me + a patient + a room and i have to diagnose and come up with management plans for said patient and present my case to two consultant in which after they will ask me all sort of questions to test my surgical knowledge thus far, easy peasy WTF! <-- I'm being sarcastic, FYI!) in less than 2 weeks, in short - I AM SO SCREWED!!!

Where did my entire semester go? Owh ya, out there eating and gathering fats in time for my Tokyo trip in January!!!!

I think i haven't told you yet:

I'LL BE HEADING TO TOKYO IN JANUARY WOOTS!!! :D

I'm starting to suspect my parents secretly read my blog *dodgy stares* because i just blogged about not being keen on Hong Kong a few days ago (I didn't tell it straight to my parents' face when they called me!) and i got a text message late yesterday announcing that they have booked my flights for Tokyo in January! O.O

My sisters and I are calling this our 'Redeeming trip' because the last we went, let's just say we were not equipped for the cold so we were wrapped in China-Taxi-Drivers polar bear coats + Nike sneakers and the Japanese DRESSES SO WELL!! Unfortunately for us, January will be PEAK WINTER so i don't know how am i suppose to look stylish at 0 degrees! :(((

Anyways, i know you like pictures so just a quick picture to end the post! :D

WEEKENDS, PLEASE COME ALREADY!!!

Being Overdressed: The Worse That Can Happen

2011-11-01T19:05:00.005+08:00

Update: Shoe clearance at Boudoir! :)

The housemate that i am closer to officially moved out of the unit today! :(

We all have different rotations and different break periods so it's her turn now, and soon enough, it will be mine! I am slowly packing up my stuff already and as much as i always try to run away from my own place to Jon's, i can't help but feel slightly emo nemo as i packed! :( I can't believe it has been almost a year, and next year is gonna be my final year here as a student (Hopefully i will be able to get my internship here! :))

Even though i complained day and night about being the last to graduate (Ting is 1 year younger than me and i attended her convocation last year fml, and Jon will be going for his THIRD convocation next year before i graduate with my Bachelor degree fts! T_T) i actually really enjoy being a student! I cannot imagine the responsibility that comes along with the doctor title! *gulps*

Life has been really good to me and i have a lot to be thankful for! :)

***

Sometime ago, i met up with Fiona, one of my favourite girlies back in Newcastle! :) I love girly meet-ups cos it usually means we get to shop, gossip and sip some tea together, which is exactly what we did that day! :)

I have been wanting to try the afternoon tea at The Victoria Room for awhile and luck just had it that Alannah Hill is just around the corner (If you're not in heels it is, unfortunately i'm almost always in heels, so i basically limped my way to the afternoon tea venue! T_T

The interior reminds me of a harem, with wide steps, dim lights, big lanterns, drapes and a half-naked men on ropes WTF! -_-

I love the interior! :) I wished i put in a little bit more effort in my outfit, i tend to always dress girly for afternoon teas, i cannot imagine sipping tea with my pinky jut out in a spiked leather dress wtf!

I tend to believe it's better to be overdressed than underdressed, because the worse that can happen (Being overdressed that is!) is that you will look too good for the occasion? I'm definitely not complaining! And with that motto in mind, i rarely find myself feeling underdressed until that very day! We were seated to a group of girls with fancy dresses and lovely headgears, i could not stop ogling at them! O.O

The next time i make a trip to The Victoria Room, i'm going to put a fruit platter on my head! *attention-deprived*

With Fiona darling! :)

Despite a lovely array of mini bites in front of us, i still could not stop stealing stares at the girls! See what i mean about it's better to be overdressed? ;)

The food here was pretty good, one of the better high-tea selections in my opinion! :)

I almost choke on my scones when i noticed this man in his undies hanging on the rope (Took me awhile to realized it's part of the performance! -_-)!

So do you believe in being overdressed or do you prefer to dress just right for the occasion to not attract unnecessary fuss? :)

Sparkle

2011-10-31T18:48:00.005+08:00

Update: Clearing my wardrobe at Boudoir-Boudoir, don't miss out! :)

THE MUCH-DREADED MONDAY!!!

Especially when i had a FULL-ON weekend, laughing off my head at a friend's place till 4am every night! T_T Felt as though i had zero rest so when my alarm rang at the dreaded 6am mark this morning (I got the 'luxury' of sleeping till 6am this morning because my consultant will be in late!), i must have snoozed it for 10 times or so! *shifty eyes*

I think it's the time of the year where my sparkle is starting to dim a little (Towards studying that is, i have a whole heap of spare sparkles for play, fail whale!), officially only having 1 month off a year is starting to irk me and i just cannot wait till my semester to end already! :( I'm so tired throughout my surgical rotation that this is the second week that i have not done grocery shopping and my food supply is disappearing faster than i can say 'Hungry'! :( Tempted to go Trick Or Treat just to get some freebies WTF! *shameless*

Unfortunately holiday plans this year end is not so appealing! :( My mum fears cold like i fear being hungry WTF so initial plans to visit Japan again were quickly diminished and by the sounds of it, we will be heading to Hong Kong/Macau AGAIN! :(

***

A little sweets usually do the trick for me! I swear at this rate i'm nomming pastries, i will be getting diabetes by the time i hit 25! T_T Found this little gem, Black Star Pastry @ Newtown near Jon's place! :)

Jon's avocado chicken sandwich which he enjoyed, i took a bite out of it and found it to be a tad bland but i might have bitten into the ends which was a tad tasteless?

I'm not particularly sure what is good so female instincts (usually right anyways) told me to pick the prettiest pastries and since they were pretty, half the battle is already won anyways lol! The pretty Strawberry Watermelon and Rose Cream cake.

The Orange cake with Persian fig and quince which was my least favourite among the 3, but even then it was REALLY GOOD! I can eat this every morning!

My favourite that day was the Pear Frangipane Tart, the pastry was light and flaky, pears were soft and sweet, i loved it so much that every time Jon took a bite i gave him a dirty stare lol!

Coffee to complete the meal! :)

My chai latte which i found a tad diluted! :(

With my love! :)

Okie, i can't wait to get pretty nails again! My fingers can easily passed off as a man's fml! (We're not allowed to have painted nails in the operating theater :( )

Can someone tell me something funny to cheer me up? *hopeful*

Siri oh Siri

2011-10-29T09:27:00.004+08:00

Update: Clearing my wardrobe at Boudoir-Boudoir, don't miss out! :)

I cannot no longer make fun of the boyfriend's obsolete phone model! T_T His iPhone 4s arrived recently and he has been pampering his phone with accessories (I gave him a huge lecture on how he doesn't pamper me as much as his phone - He actually suggested i wear GLOVES if i want to touch his phone because i'm know for my clumsiness, don't you just feel like punching him wtf? -_-)

So the bottom line is that my boyfriend is cooler than me now and i cannot accept that wtf! *sour*

But but but i must say he did a pretty good job with his phone, i asked Siri (iPhone 4s voice command) 'Who is Jon's favourite girl?' and my contact automatically popped up, ngawwww! :D But fml Siri does not comprehend my accent but it sucks up to Jon like no tomorrow, 'I live to serve Jon!', i have some serious competition grrrr!

At Woolloomooloo (Damn how do you even spell that! T_T) which is actually a gorgeous wharf right next to the city but with that name, you'd assumed that it's in the middle of nowhere right? I sure did! -_-

Okay this is damn poyo, i don't know myself wtf! The wharf is actually facing a chain of restaurants and i was shamelessly camwhoring for my outfit pictures! *THICK skin* :P

Omgomgomgomgomgomg, all of a sudden i will be going for a Halloween party tomorrow night! *gasp* Well, i found out about this the day before but i have a full on day at the hospital today (In which my consultant told me i have really dainty hands when he watched me performed CPR! Not sure what exactly he meant by that but the boyfriend scoffed that i'm too princess that's why meh!) and the fact that shops closed at 5 in Aussie did not help! :(

I have plans tomorrow during the day so i think i can spare a maximum of 2 hours costume hunting! O.O I love dressing up but when the ultimate opportunity arises, i think i'm gonna end up as a bunny! -_-

Thank God i buy random things from time to time:

I just have to make sure i don't end up at Kings Cross (Sydney's red light district) cos i got mistaken as a prostitute the last time! -__-

Ebay is out of the question as they cannot ship in time to me! ANY IDEAS on what i should be or if i can emergency DIY something? T_T

P/s: My full wardrobe is not in Sydney, so i don't have much options! T_T

Maybe Botox is What I Need :P

2011-10-26T18:58:00.004+08:00

I'm slowlyyyyyy moving things out of my current place, i can't believe it has been almost a year! The scary thing is that i feel that i probably only spent a total of 3 months at my own place and i'm up at Jon's for the rest of the time! *shifty eyes* I just packed up two huge bags (1 clamshell suitcase and a giant China bag!) and a box of stuff and when i returned to my room, it looks untouched FML!

And it was really funny when i ran into my neighbour while i was dragging the China bag to my car, she gave me this funny look and it hit me that i probably looked like some dodgy serial killer, disposing the body HAHAHA! Okay, i'm gonna be home alone tonight i better take it easy with my stories or i will end up scaring myself! :P

***
I crave for desserts all the time so after dinner that night, i dragged Jon to Glass Brasserie, Hilton for some sugar fix! :) I got us a reservation at 9.30pm and when we turned up, we were told that they were running late, so we got a seat outside and all was well until i took a look at the clock and realized we have been sitting around for 40 minutes! Feeling quite annoyed, i approached the floor manager and i then noticed empty tables in the restaurant! -___- And i think the worst part was that they weren't the least bit apologetic (In fact, i received no apologies!), for a one-hatted restaurant situated in the Hilton, i definitely expected more!

If it wasn't so late at night (Would be hard to find elsewhere to have my sugar fix) i would have walked off!

Finally seated! I just noticed Jon has prettier fingers than me! -___-

Hi i like how my lips looked in this picture, looked as though i just got Botox wtf! :D

Before our dessert came, we had the SWEETEST dessert wine ever, it tasted something like honey! :) I happily sipped away and got quite hyper towards the end, i am such a cheap drunk! T_T

We had the Milk chocolate bavarois, tonka bean creme brulee, caramel sorbet and salted beans. which tasted really yums but they really need to work on their service! I remember i had a really good time the last two times i was here, i'm not sure if they were being rude because we just wanted to have desserts this time! -_-

All The Fuss

2011-10-24T15:56:00.007+08:00

I have never thought of myself as a fussy eater! My family (With grandmother heading the kitchen - Apparently that's not the case anymore now that we've a Masterchef in the family HAHA!) serves up traditional chinese dinner every night, with the exception of soup, (And vegetables! *shifty eyes*) i can eat almost anything off the table! :)

Note: My daddy tried using the 'beauty tactic' to lure me into drinking soup, which would have worked until he went 'Look at my skin, so smooth!' (He has acne scars!), so i just quickly go 'ER NO THANKS' WTF!

Until i live with Jon (We have a funny arrangement, he does most of the cooking HAHAHA and for good reason too if we want to have a decent meal! :P), he pointed out that he has never met a more fussy eater than me! I was beyond shocked of course..

And then he listed the things i do not eat:
Most vegetables - CHECK
Lamb - CHECK
Aussie sausages - CHECK
(I find Aussie sausages gross, cos you know how sausages are made by blending spare parts? Well in Aussie sausages, you can actually feel the 'squish'! *cringes*)
Parsley - CHECK
Goat - CHECK
Tomatoes - CHECK

And there's quite an extensive list! *shifty eyes*

I really have never considered myself as fussy until i realized i don't eat half the things Jon cooks me! *shifty eyes*

***

So whenever he has trouble feeding me, he will bring me out for meals! :D The perks of being fussy wtf! :P

We mourned the start of my surgery rotation with a whole weekend of fun! :) I get to call the shots to do whatever i please before i turn into a surgery grump, so naturally i jumped at the opportunity at a fancy meal! *sheepish*

This is our 2nd time at Aria (AGFG 2 chef hats)! :) The first being our very first monthniversary together, how time flies! :)

Amuse bouche: A tomato based soup which was surprisingly alerted the senses to a good meal to come, though it may not be the best idea to serve it to a STARVING Jing! :P

Bread & butter of fine dining! :)

Iggy's sourdough!

Jon adores the truffled mash from Aria and i love the punch of the truffle in every mouthful! However, it does feel quite sinful because God knows how much butter went into this smooth buttery fluffy potato? I couldn't get pass two spoonfuls!

Crispy skin barramundi on a bed of crab and pumpkin risotto! :) The barramundi has a delicious crispy skin while maintaining the flesh moist! :)

We ended up sharing a dessert because Jon was in a hurry, i picked us a mango bombe alaska with mango sorbet and a sesame tuille! :)

I really need to fix my hair, i know! T_T

We deconstructed the dessert to take a peek at the raspberry (? can't remember now) ice-cream sandwiched in between the meringue & sponge! :)

Coffee & tea to complete the meal! :)

I looked like a fat lump in my reclection FTS! T_T

Happy Monday everyone, hope you're having a more relaxing one than mine! T___T

Jing's Sydney Top 10

2011-10-22T10:18:00.013+08:00

Update: Clearing out my wardrobe at Boudoir, don't miss out! :)))

I logged into my old e-mail account that day and found a bunch of e-mails from my readers! *gasp* Felt a bit overwhelmed when i received a 'fanmail' wtf! Sorry if you haven't received a reply, i'm not that cold-blooded blogger who doesn't bother typing something back, just that i haven't checked that e-mail account for donkey years! Even found invitations to be featured on Seventeen and Female magazine, ngawwwwww!

So from now on, any love/hate mail, send it to sugarliciousfairy@hotmail.com! :) I don't check that e-mail frequently as well but i will eventually see it hahaha! :)

So i received several e-mails asking me give a guide on fun activities, food, shopping in Sydney (I think some even suggested Melbourne but since i don't live there, it's kind of hard!) so i compiled a list of JING'S FAVOURITE DO-NOTHING ACTIVITIES! There are a lot of other FUN things you can do ie. HOT AIR BALLOON (Damn i want to try that one day, if only it doesn't cost like A$300 per person! T_T), water sports (I'm your neighbourhood puteri lilin cos im dark enough thank you very much) etc.

So there goes:

1. Royal Botanical Gardens
The Gardens has an amazing view of the harbour! :) Pack some food, spread a sheet and have a very nice relaxing picnic time with arguably one of the best views you will find around! I love love love doing this when the sun is out (Warning: Summer might not be the most pleasant time to do this as it gets VERY hot in summer!) and you're up for a very relaxing afternoon with lots of picture taking opportunity!

Tip: I think it's pretty hard to access here by public transport (I might be wrong, kindly consult www.131500.com.au) but if you are up for a walk, you can always take a stroll along Circular Quay (For those of you who do not know, it's where the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge is!) and walk over to the Opera House and the Botanical Gardens is just right next to the Opera House but be warned, the best view of the two iconic buildings (Well, the bridge is not exactly a building, oh wells!) is quite a looonggggggg walk! Parking is pretty expensive, with something along the lines of $4-5 per hour!)

2. Darling Harbour Fireworks
Check your dates with Harbourside Fireworks and if you're lucky, there will be fireworks going on! :))) Confined within a small-ish area, it looks like stars falling from the skies, no kidding! :D And if you 're in for a splurge, you can always make a reservation early at one of the Darling Harbour restaurants (Try Hurricane's Ribs, they're SUPER popular, also one of the better ribs i have had! :D) and make sure you request for a window side table so you get to watch the fireworks as part of your dinner! :)

Tip: The Star (Sydney's casino) Cafe Court has this AMAZING gelato by the name of Messina Gelato, just walk over and do yourself a favour by trying the Pandan Coconut SO GOOD!!!

3. Ferry/Cruise - Manly

One thing i love most most about Sydney is because it's almost as good as an island, we have ferry as public transport , so it will be affordable for you to take a trip around the Sydney Harbour on the sea! :) I personally love taking the ferry to Manly Beach which is a less commercialized beach than Bondi, if you're not into beaches, you can always take a ferry to Taronga Zoo! :) I highly suggest taking the ferry close to the evening, so you can catch the Sydney Harbour by day & night view because they look different (In terms of view lah, the Opera house does not turn into a bungalow at night WTF) day & night! :)

Taking the ferry! :)

Sunset at Manly, how BEAUTIFUL IT IS! :DDD

And if you have extra cash to spend, do take a dinner cruise around the Sydney Harbour! :) The food itself is nothing spectacular but i find the experience is top-notch! There are a number of cruises available, varying in prices so i'm pretty sure you can Google around! :)

Tip: Try to grab the seats at the deck of the ferry for the best views and also the best picture taking opportunity hehe! :)

4. SHOPPING
Of course, i think this is probably the most awaited topic! SHOPPING IN SYDNEY! Sorry to disappoint girlies but i find shopping in Australia generally disappointing (Even though i still do it! T_T) as it's pretty expensive! :( Try to NOT buy anything designer here because you'll probably find it 10% cheaper in KL (I'm not even talking about Europe!), the mark-up here is insane! :(

These are several Aussie brands that i fancy: Forever New (Super girly!), Sportsgirl (The mini Topshop of Australia), Bardot (A cross between girly and trendy), Alannah Hill (Girly OVERLOAD!), Sass & Bide (The origin yo!), Bariano (Pretty pretty party dresses!), Zara (Just because i'm deprived)! :)

I rarely take pictures of myself shopping, MUST CONCENTRATE! Also cos i usually shop alone, i can't seem to find anyone i like to shop with in Aussie! :( Maybe besides Josh, but he's in Melbourne! Right, so some of my favourite spots to shop at! :)

Shopping malls: Westfield Sydney (Aka Pitt St Mall), Westfield Bondi Junction.
Shopping Streets: Oxford St (Paddington), Crown St Surry Hills.
Outlet Stores: DFO (Homebush), Birkenhead Point (Drummoyne)
Markets: Paddington Market (Near Oxford St), Bondi Market (Bondi Public School), Glebe Market, The Rocks Market (More food than shopping imo!)

Tip: The outlet stores are not in the city, do check www.131500.com.au to see if you can access it by public transport.

5. Afternoon Tea
It's no secret that i love spending my afternoon away sipping on tea and nibbling on pastries, preferable with a view! :D

One of favourite-st high-tea spots of all time - The Tea Room @ QVB! :) The food was great and the ambience made me feel like a little Victorian princess, which i think was exactly the point! :P They have another branch up at Mosman? I can't remember the place but i was told the view is amazing as well, i have yet to try it though from what i understand, that place is not accessible by public transport!

A poor representation of the view we had (Camera not capturing it well!) but we were actually sipping tea at the Park Hyatt facing the Opera House! :)

And celebrating my birthday at Bather's Pavilion at Mosman which is where i plan to live in the future!! *wishful thinking* A house here is averagely A$3 mil! *GULPS*

6. Bondi Beach
Josh & Ting aptly described Bondi Beach as the BEST place to do some eye candy! Leave a bit of stomach space for drooling and be prepared to go through a very 'down' phase post Bondi Beach because everyone there is FRIGGIN' hot and whenever i pay a trip there, i will feel like starving myself for the next 5 years! *shifty eyes while munching on a cookie*

I was told that one of the best gelato place in Sydney is situated here (By the name of Pompei), if you get there before me, let me know if it's any good! :)

7. Pastries/Desserts
I have a bit of a sweet tooth and i'm glad i found several spots in Sydney (And a whole lot that i have not tried) to fulfill my constant sweet cravings! :D

Some of my favourites include:

Adriano Zumbo Patisserie
Some of you might have heard of this formidable name in Masterchef! :P Fortunately, he has expanded the Zumbo empire beyond Balmain, now you can easily get Zumbo pastries from The Star (Near Darling Harbour) or even Manly! :)

Bourke St Bakery
They serve up one of the best tarts i have ever had! :) I think the most accessible branch will be in Surry Hills (Near Central Station) but do beware if you happen to come on a Saturday, there might be a queue! :)

Baroque Bistro/La Renaissance Cafe
Baroque Bistro is the higher end up version of the original La Renaissance Cafe, if you are just up for simple pastries and a coffee, i'd recommend just the cafe but if you want to tuck into a meal followed by their desserts after, Baroque Bistro is the place to be! :) I adore the macarons they produce and they even offer macaron making classes for those of you who likes to bake! :D (Ting attended the classes and packed me 3 whole boxes of macarons WHEE! :D)

If you're up to splurge, ARIA a two-hatted restaurants offer visually appealing desserts which actually tastes better than it looks (Most of the time anyways!)

8. Hunter Valley
If you happen to be in Sydney for a prolong time and if you are willing to spare 3 hours up north, Hunter Valley has vineyards after vineyards where you can visit and do some (FREE!!) wine tasting! :) The Hunter Valley Gardens is GORGEOUS (Well i didn't get to go there this time around! :( but from pictures, it resembles Alice in the Wonderland's garden! *melts*)!

Tip: Rent a car as the vineyards are not accessible by public transport.

9. Opera Bar/Opera Kitchen
On the Opera House side of Circular Quay, there lies the Opera Bar and Opera Kitchen! On a Sunday, Opera Bar has a live band over to serenade you! For a mere A$9-15, you can sip on a glass of bubbly, enjoy the best views of Sydney while being serenaded by their live band! :) If you're like me, who can't drink, you can always go to its neighbour, Opera Kitchen to munch on some burgers and pastries with the same view! :D

I adore the strawberry sable from Becasse Bakery @ Opera Kitchen! :)

Tip: Try to get a table at the edge so you can get the best pictures and view! :) Be warned, it can get very very packed during the weekends!

10. FESTIVALS

Last but not least, there's always something happening in Sydney! :D For those of you who will bere here at the end of the year, there's the Harry Potter Exhibition! *squeals*

If you happen to be here during summer, there's starlight cinemas held at the Botanical Gardens as well! :)

And if you're a fan of musicals, Mary Poppins will be running till Dec 17th, i heard it's really good! :D (Jon cannot keep a secret from me hahahaha, i just found out he got us tickets for one of the last few screenings of the year YAY!)

Tip: Book your tickets early to avoid disappointment! :)

Some extra tips for visitors:
1) If you're staying in a hotel in the city, you can hop on a free bus (555) which is usually pretty obvious in GREEN and it will give you a free lift anywhere in the city to Circular Quay to Central! :)

2) If you're thinking of coming, i recommend you come around April/May or Sept/October when the weather is sunny but cool! :) December/January may not be as pleasant as it's just massively hot! :(

3) Remember lots of sunscreen as Aussie has no ozone lining the atmosphere! :)

4) Grab cheap & fresh seafood from the Sydney Fish Market @ Pyrmont! :) (You can just get a tram/monorail from Central!)

GOSH THIS IS A HELLA LONG POST!!! Hope it's helpful! :)))

Good Girl Gone Bad

2011-10-20T08:00:00.002+08:00

I get a spark of adrenaline every once in awhile to blog, but sorry totally not this week! :( I tried juggling my usual motto of 'Work hard, play harder' this week and in the process, i have been severely compromising sleep! :( I got up at 5am yesterday morning and pumped through till 5pm in the evening and even then, i still had to do aunty-chores ie. grocery shopping and cooking! T__T Also not helped by the fact that i left my mouse at Jon's place.. AGAIN! -_-

You may not know but i had an AMAZING weekend! :D And by AMAZING, it usually means packed with activities, hehehe! I think i have mentioned that i went on a floating pop-up bar on the harbour (Or it might be just twitter, cannot keep-up with all my social networks already wtf!) and we caught the sunset in the middle of the ocean, so mesmerizing! :D (So much so that i'm contemplating going again this weekend which is the final week it's gonna be running! T_T)

And did i mention that my boyfriend will be coming home with me this December? :D This is the first time he's following me home, he just decided not too long ago but fortunately we managed to chup seats together! :D Yay, more luggage space WTF! And i'm also clearing out my wardrobe sooonies cos i'll be moving out of my current place soon (I have been slowly packing out things now!) so watch this space hehe!

A picture of the floating bar (And me of course DUH wtf!), also my current FB profile picture! *shy*

Damn You Photobucket

2011-10-17T20:20:00.005+08:00

Update: YAY got my pictures up! :D

I am feeling all happy and chatty now, for once i actually feel like blogging (Don't get this feeling often these days!) but Photobucket is being a real pain in the posterior, none of my pictures are uploading! :(

So until Photobucket starts behaving, we'll have do make do with a blank canvas!

I ASSISTED IN A BOWEL RESECTION TODAY!!!! :D (By assisted, i actually mean i held onto the bowel whilst the surgeon snip snip here and there and i get the glamourous job of cutting sutures wtf!)

I was abit nervous because from (gross) medical pictures, i can tell i do not like bowel because they look squiggly and slimy! =/ I cringe at the sight of someone eating whateveranimal's intestines! There was once i was having a steamboat with some extended family and i was offered a pig's intestines, i was too shy to decline so i took a bite and NEVER AGAIN! :(

I actually didn't mind the surgery one bit, if not for the fact that the protective gear we had on on top of the bright surgical light was a tad stuffy, i thought i went pretty well! :) I can't believe i used to faint at the sight of blood oozing out from a shallow cut, now i can look at bloody bowel and ponder on what i should have for lunch after! :D

~~Will UPDATE when Photobucket comes back into action! :)))~~

***

When the sun is shining and the skies are clear, Jing goes out and play! :) (Come to think of it, come rain or shine, my mine is constantly on the run playing, if only i work as hard physically, i'll probably have some hot abs going on! I DO HAVE ABS, they are just covered with fats wtf!) The plan for that day was to hit the beach and to catch the Sunday Bondi Markets which i have been meaning to for awhile! Tut-tut-tut guess what? We got there too late and by the time we had lunch, the markets will closed, FAIL WHALE! T___T

We had lunch at Bondi Pizza & Bar and i quite fancy their pizzas! :) Slightly greasy but pack full of flavour! :)

We started our meal with 'Our Famous Sizzling Chilli Prawns w' flat bread and chilli mayo', i quite like the flat bread but found there were too little prawns for the flat bread given and also i would prefer more sizzle in the prawns wtf!

Grilled chicken salad for Jon's daily intake of greens (while i nom the chicken! :P)!

And a Bondi Meat Supreme, we're a carnivore pair HEHEHEH! Well, at least Jon eats his greens, i pushed them all to his half of the pizza and i may have stolen some meat off his side of the pizza! *shifty eyes*

And finally we finished off with the Oven Baked Apple Crumble Pizette which tasted really good! :) It tasted coconut-y for some reason, which i really enjoyed! :)

And THIS was what we came for, well more like ME, Jon doesn't enjoy the sun like i do! :D

Swallow Printed Pussybow Blouse: ASOS
Pleated Structured Full Skirt: Azorias
Earrings: Chanel
Necklace: Chanel
Heart Locket: Tiffany & Co.
Felt Floppy Hat: Korea
Shoes: ASOS
Bag: Louis Vuitton

I am slowly becoming a woman of few words wtf!

The Star

2011-10-16T16:37:00.005+08:00

Weekends are ending too fast too soon! :(

Why is it that Monday to Friday takes forever but Friday to Monday comes in a blink of an eye? T_T

At my new-found favourite hang-out spot, The Star! :D (Aka the casino WTF!) This was previously Star City which was pretty meh and now they refurbished it and i LOVE it! :D They will be bringing in David Chang's Momofuku (Two Michelin stars) soon, whee! :)

Come on, don't let me waste my weekend blogging! :P

Sick of Creative Titles

2011-10-15T06:43:00.007+08:00

I only got off my last tutorial yesterday at 5.30pm and because the carpark was sealed off in the morning, i had to park 1934839473057353 miles away! :( Getting off at peak hour, having to drive back to Sydney reminds me of KL so much! (We usually leave KL at peak hour because we'll only head over there at around 2-3 for brunch WTF!) Took me forever to get off the Harbour Bridge (And they charged me an extra $1 for peak hour toll charges, the inner cheap in me was roaring so bad, you've no idea!), so much for TGIF! T_T

Then when i got back, Jon begged me to drive him to the city to get his iPhone 4s (Which happens to be my birthday gift for him, please please please buy me a designer bag next year thanks! *not discrete at all* :D), my boyfriend is super fail, while everyone was busy queuing at the Apple store at 7am, he was there at 7pm! -___- Not surprising that he didn't get one! :P Okie, i should stop rubbing salt onto his wound cos he's quite emo at the moment! (I would too if i'm stuck with an obsolete Nokia model HAHAH OKAY I BETTER STOP! :P)

Owh owh owh guess what?! I finally approved my mummy's friend request on FB (Having found out that Ting did first) and i was being kind, going through most of my albums and tagging her (Btw, i'm a serial tagger in FB, the most annoying of sorts HEHEHEHE!)! Let's hope she doesn't stalk me too much wtf!

So usually after a tough week, i always reward myself with some macarons, which was exactly what i did a few weeks back! :) Point of destination was at Cafe Cre A Sion, whose owner once worked for the 2-hatted Universal Restaurant! :) The interesting (and very Asian) macaron flavours was what captivated me first and i must say, it did not disappoint! :)

My Jamon Serrano & Tasmania Heidi Farm Gruyere Cheese on Sourdough which is just a very fancy name for ham and cheese sandwich hahaha but i think this is one of the best ham and cheese sandwich i have ever had! :) The sourdough complimented the filling perfectly! :)

I took a mini bite off Jon's Smoked salmon, pickle fennel, capers & soft boiled eggs, he loves it! :)

And what i came here for! :))) I was the one craving for macarons but Jon ended up stealing half of them! T_T They kicked up some pretty interesting flavours from plum wine (Not available that day) to yuzu to sesame to green tea (Very Japanese influenced because the owner is Japanese!)! I was tempted to try every single flavour in the display but for $2.70 each, i guess not! T_T

Green tea cappuccino served in a bowl! :D Reminds me of a warm Green tea frappe from Starbucks, love! :D

Ohai! :)

My favourite flavour (I think, i have a couple that i fancy) - Flavorsome sesame with a caramel-like filling (I can't remember the exact name now! :()!

And and and we went into Typo (A store selling super cute stationery!) and Jon saw a drawing of a naked woman and he asked if he could bring that home, i told him he could bring THIS home! *points below* He could not have run faster out of the shop HAHAAAHAHAH!

Just For Fun

2011-10-13T18:06:00.006+08:00

Helloooooooo everyone,

I can't believe i'm only in the middle of my first week and i'm feeling so tired already! 7 am ward rounds are no joke (Meaning i have to wake up at around 6, God bless me!), most of the time i just find myself snoozing my alarm repeatedly (Sometimes even turning it off, may or may not be deliberate, whoops! :P) and wake up a few minutes before, slab on some concealer and eyeliner and be on the go! (If i do not put any make-up on, i might scare some of my patients away so being in my field, i'm obliged to do something about my eyebags WTF!)

It doesn't help that at the moment, my schedule is dotted with tutorials and clinics and on top of that, i'm feeling quite clueless about surgery, having had no formal teachings about it! And let me tell you this, surgeons LOVE watching you squirm! And i made a big boo-boo that day, and my friend joked that i'm such an Asian blonde! T_____T

So by day i'll be terrorizing the wards and by night i'll be ~~watching Masterchef Junior~~ trying to read up on surgical cases, i'kid you not when i say i know nothing about surgery! T___T And it doesn't help to have a consultant who grilled you in the very first morning he met you on 'What are the muscles of the anus? What do they do?' before they even bother to know your name (Which by the way, i always introduce as, 'Hello, i'm Jing, as in JINGle Bell JING!') because more often than not, they will mistake me as Jean, June, Jane, Jenny or the likes! T__T Most of my friends just adopt an English name after they came to Aussie, like out of the blue they will introduce themselves as 'Hi i'm Keith' then you will be like, 'Wait a minute, aren't you Ah Chong?'

Strangely enough, i'm kind of enjoying the influx of knowledge (Unlike me MAX!), ask me again in two weeks and my answer will probably be different! :P

What Piglet Said to Pooh

2011-10-11T19:19:00.007+08:00

I love having breakfasts but my biological alarm (Rings at 12 pm thank you and anytime before that basically does not exist in Jingtionary wtf) wouldn't allow me of that so the next best option i can settle with would be brunch! I think because shops in Aussie generally closes at 5pm so the Aussies are bored and they go to bed at 8pm #TRUESTORY so they get up at the break of dawn because most places stop serving breakkie at 10pm! -______- And brunch usually ends at 12 pm too, bummer!

Fortunately, i found out the one-hatted Bird Cow Fish (HOW CUTE IS THE NAME? :)) serves brunch on weekends till 2pm, so we basically got to the door just before their brunch service ends, HEE! :D

This very cute exchange between Piglet and Pooh which i actually did not understand, maybe i cannot be a cartoon character after all fml (People tell me i'm like a cartoon character cos i'm hyper all the time! :D Once in a blue moon, someone will tell me that i look like an anime character which i *think* is a compliment!)!

(Owh wait i just reread it and i *think* i know what they are trying to say, Pooh is trying to say breakfast is exciting right right right? #FAIL)

Jon's cappuccino (I ALWAYS misspell it, spelling bee FAIL!)!

They served up some pretty wicked chai latte! :))) I like it when my chai latte tastes of cinnamon! :D

Poached eggs with grilled Wessex Saddle Back Ham, Montpellier butter & sourdough toast! The toast tasted superb but Jon didn't quite enjoy his breakkie!

I saw the menu online displaying a French Toast - Brioche w' creme patissiere w' poached Corella pear & tea prune which i was very keen to try (Have been caving for french toast since forever - MART 130 in Melbourne serves up a WICKED one! :D) but they replaced it with pancakes which i wasn't quite keen on that day! :( So instead, i chose the Poached eggs with king salmon potato croquettes w' lemon mayonnaise and with that in mind, i was expecting fried potato croquettes topped with fresh smoked salmon but that wasn't the case so i was pretty disappointed with my dish! :(

Being a hatted-restaurant, brunch did not come cheap and we left feeling abit cheated! :( Bring back the french toast and i might consider revisiting! :)

On my first day of surgery, i already got grilled by my consultant ala BBQ Jing wtf! I got asked alot of posterior questions wtf in which i remembered the concept but i can't remember the fancy terms we medical people like to coin them so i probably sounded really stupid when i explained to my consultant, 'Y'know, when the colon pops out through a hole!' -___________-

And and and i put my scrubbing and gowning skills to use for the first time ever (Basically what we do to sterilize ourselves pre-surgery) and all these 5 minutes hand washing is making my hands sandpaper rough! T_T And before we washed our hands, we always put on a surgical mask first so that your clean hands will not be fidgeting around your hair area! So smarty pants Jing was washing her hands for a good 3 minutes before i realized i do not have a mask on, so i had to start ALL OVER AGAIN! T_T

Also, because it's my first time scrubbing in, i took FOREVER and it was pretty embarrassing to find that half of the surgery already took place in my absence! T_T When will i be able to look intelligent lah? T____T

I was suppose to do a very nice and long post today but i am now distracted by the ASOS sale and also i meant to do a bit of studying so i don't look like an idiot again tomorrow with all my Jing terms! T_T

This was an all-excited Jing about to step into Movie World for the first time! *squealies*

Jon & i got discounted tickets to three theme parks, WHEE! :D Discounts = More food/Clothes wtf!

And this is about one of the scariest (But also MOST FUN) ride i have ever rode!!! It moves at this CRAZY SPEED, when i landed back on the ground, my carefully curled hair was gone, i'm surprised that my false eyelashes still stayed in place, maybe they should do an advertisement for my eyelash glue WTF!

Signing off,
(Cannot make it) Surgeon Jing.

The Worse Has Happened..

2011-10-09T19:54:00.003+08:00

Last year when i was living on campus, we all had to make an 'I am..' chart which basically involved colour papers and your favourite coloured markers and you can drone on forever about yourself so your housemates can get to know you! :) Easy, cos i love talking about myself! *shifty eyes* I remember one of my ultimate DISLIKES is 'When parents add you on FB', having heard of some of my friends experiencing that!

I gave myself a chuckle because my mummy is the BIGGEST computer noob in the entire world, she doesn't know how to TURN ON a computer hahaha! When i got a text from her that day announcing that she finally has an e-mail address, i laughed to myself! *meanie* When this morning, i received a notification for a friend request from my mother.. I JUST LOOKED IN HORROR!
I mean not like i have anything to hide, but FB is quite personal and it is a tad weird having your parents comment on your recent Net-a-porter buy, it might get awkward wtf! Not that i buy very often of course! *shifty eyes*

Outfit from dessert night yesterday! :))

Sydney weather has made it possible to only wear a cotton long sleeves and i will not feel cold AT NIGHT, don't want summer to come! :(

Lub my Burberry Prorsum inspired knotted skirt! :D

Faux Printed Grey Top: Oasis @ASOS
Mauve Knotted Lycra Skirt: ASOS
Earrings: Chanel
Necklace: Chanel
Heart Locket: Tiffany & Co.
Rings: Dorothy Perkins
Shoes: ASOS

(Whoops, subconsciously wore ASOS top-to-toe! T_T)

I still have not approved my mummy's friend request! :P (I probably will soon!)

Do you guys approve your parents' friend requests? :) Or do you pretend you have not received any hehehe?

Sugar Hit

2011-10-08T22:18:00.003+08:00

I cannot stand my hair anymoreeeeeee, when i complained about it to Jon, he actually agreed and added that it resembles 'weed' or perhaps 'broom', serious this boyfriend needs to attend a bootcamp! -____- I found my curler and decided to give my hair some volume and voila, i miss curls heaps (Maybe not the burnt smell that comes with it! *shifty eyes*), and i know there's such a thing as heat-protectant for the hair but i can't seem to find it here! :((( Anyone?

October = Sydney Food Festival! :D There are foodie events going all month long, sadly most of the action is on weekday nights and i'll be heigh-ho heigh-ho all October for surgery! *grumbles* I was most looking forward to the 'Sugar Hit' event whereby certain restaurants will create a special dessert menu for the Sydney Food Festival! *big smiles*

We went to my all time favourite area in all of Sydney, Circular Quay (In case you do not know, it's where the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge are located! :D)! We decided to tackle two locations (And we had a massive dinner prior, you know or not, these days we're finding it increasingly hard to hug each other because we both have a food baby wtf!)!

First stop, Shangri-La Sydney! :)))

I really like the skirt i'm wearing but i haven't shot my outfit shots because night time outfit shots are a no-no! :( Will get it shot soon! *hardworking blogger*

A mini dessert platter! :)

And this caught my attention most! :))) I remember i used to play with this when we had Chemistry labs! :D And despite looking (and sounding too fml) like a bimbo most of the time, Chemistry is actually one of my all-time favourite subjects (Cos i love randomly adding chemicals in hopes of bombing something wtfwtf, i actually succeeded once! #truestory Me and my Taylor's bestie love mixed the silver liquid with everything because we insisted that we deserved to waste the expensive silver since we paid a huge chunk of fees to Taylor's wtf!)!

Jon finished his share after i had ONE sip of wine! -________- Seriously sometimes i wonder if he actually chews, he claims that he tastes his food IN HIS STOMACH! -____________-

Following Shangri-la, we WALKED over to Holiday Inn which wasn't that far but we had to go through this tres-steep area whereby i was wobbling in my heels (While holding onto Jon with dear life) and this group of old aunties walked right past us and sarcastically told me to hold on tight! -____-

Belgian Chocolate Souffle with hazelnut crunch and King Island cream.

To show you it's all gooey and chocolatey in the center! :)

Hi, must poser-poser and all when in fact you all know my alcohol-tolerance is zero! *sad* T_T

I'm not a fan of chocolatey desserts so guessed which happy boy finished them all? :D My boyfriend so adorable! *picit*

Being the healthy freak *ahem* i am, i insisted we go for a walk along the harbour to work off the calories we put on!!!

And and and guys, i have not had any comments for awhile, how can? :( I know you're readinggggg, SAY SOMETHING! :D

Little Fangirl

2011-10-07T19:55:00.002+08:00

It is no secret that i LOVE Masterchef! :D :D :D I watched the all new Masterchef Junior about a week ago and i saw all the little kiddies creating food that NO WAY on Earth that i will be able to make (I hid under the cupboard for awhile as that week alone, i burned my hands 3 times while using the oven! *shifty eyes*) and i quickly texted Jon (He was back in Perth then) to tell him, 'We should really get a kid, just so he/she can cook for us!' HAHAHA!

(He coldly told me, 'Nice try, we're not getting one!' MEH! Well, at least there's someone who is responsible in this relationship!)

So so so today i actually attended Masterchef Live whereby there are masterclasses with some of the celebrity chefs and Masterchef contestants and even chances to do some hands-on cooking! I was most most most looking forward to joining the cake decorating class! :D I can't cook but i think decorating is still within my means! :D

Unfortunately, in typical Jing fashion, i overslept by about 2 hours and got there TOO late so all the classes were booked out! #EPICFAIL Then also typically Jing, i threw a big tantrum, blaming Jon for making me stay up late! *shifty eyes*

And then i saw some familiar faces around and the little fangirl in me squealed in delight hehehe! *blushes*

With Adriano Zumbo, my favourite pastry chef! :D

I even got an autograph wtf, for someone who cannot cook at all, i sure have alot of interest in chefs! :P

Now i just need to nurse myself back to health (I have been having weekly sniffly episodes! :() for my Jing weekend! :) Jon promised me a Jing weekend ie. He will do with me whatever i wish, go wherever i want, eat whatever i crave before my dreaded surgery rotation starts!

JING PLEASE GET WELL SOON! T_T

The World is Mourning

2011-10-06T15:28:00.002+08:00

I never thought i will be so affected by Steve Jobs passing! #isad

I was waiting for my consultant this morning to present a case when i logged onto Sydney Morning Herald and became the first 9000th person in Sydney to read about his death! :( And it was most ironic when i quickly picked up the iPhone (Which of course will not exist without the genius behind it) to text Jon and to tweet! T_T

When i got back, i cannot stop hovering over articles and articles all over, reading on his life! :( I found this article particularly inspiring:

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

I mean i don't know this guy! If you know me even a single bit, it'll probably not surprise you that my general knowledge is close to zero (Come on, for someone who think Milan is in France! -_-) but Jon talks about him all the time (My boyfriends read ALOT!) and we have decided that we'll be dropping by the Apple store in Sydney tomorrow to leave some flowers outside! T____T

RIP Steve Jobs, you're an inspiration and a true star! :)

'The world is immeasurably better because of Steve!'

2011-10-03T20:09:00.007+08:00

After dodging in and out of buildings through the crazy weather on our first day in Gold Coast, we got to Broadbeach for our planned lunch! (I am really OCD when it comes to my holidays, i will plan every single detail of it after researching for days to weeks online - Unfortunately in true blue Jing fashion, things always do not go the way i want it to! *sad*)

I chose to stay at Surfers Paradise, only because it's the only spot i know of in all of Gold Coast but i found that Surfers Paradise is pretty happening but it looked pretty old and run-down-ish as compared to Broadbeach! I felt as though Broadbeach has the same vibe as Surfers Paradise, only newer and the hotels look nicer (Do you remember the story about my 1950s apartment wuwuwwuwu! T_T) but i will tell you the tale soon about why i never dare to step foot into Broadbeach again! T_T

I made reservations at Moo Moo (I kid you not, it's really named Moo Moo!) which supposedly serves up one of the best steaks in Queensland! :) I brought Jon up down left right Broadbeach when soon after, i realized it's next to the bus stop we got dropped off at! *shifty eyes* The interior involves alot of (presumably fake) furry cow hide! :P

We were both going around with -_- not because we were really -_- but more like slit eyes sleepy because we were up since 5am for our 8am flight! T_T

I think this is one of the first time we actually have to pay for bread (Most fine restaurants in Aussie offer complimentary bread) and i think it was something like $7 for bread! *gulps* But it was also one of the most interesting (In a good way) bread i have ever had! :) Also, i did not mind paying after finding out i got a cow decorative item WTF! What we had was a House bread (Perfectly soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, served warm to us) w' Moo Moo jus + honeyed carrot salsa! :) Never been happier to be a rabbit at that moment wtf!

I didn't know i looked quite like this until i saw this picture! Sorry Broadbeach people for scaring you guys wtf!

Quickly ran to the ladies to freshen up! And you will soon find out why i am really glad that they do not have washrooms in the restaurant, i had to go through a maze like entrance to get to the toilets! T_T

As usual, we overestimated our appetite and got way way too much food! :( Like why would we need 3 sides, what were we thinking! T_T

Truffled parmesan shoe string fries! How to resist anything truffled? T_T

Tempura onion rings served w' smokey bbq sauce which we should have given a pass as it was pretty oily so the batter was a tad mushy for my liking!

Delicious Portabello mushrooms w' Queensland goats feta! I usually am abit skeptical with goats feta cos i am not friends with lamb and goat (Meat not bags WTF!) but it tasted surprisingly pleasant and it melted with the mushrooms perfectly though the portion could easily passed off as a main! -_-

I think Jon had the F1 Wagyu Sirloin, marble score 9 which tasted alright in my opinion (I stole abit off his! *greedy*) but mine tasted WAYYYY better! :)))

I wanted to go with a David Blackmore full-blood wagyu (Even the name sounds delicious) but they ran out of it! :( Our server recommended me the F1 Wagyu rump, marble score 9 (Which is the manly option i think, because the other server mistaken this as Jon's dish! -_-) which was LIPSMACKING good! :D I think the little pot on the side is beef jus, it added heaps of flavour to the dish! :D

We were happily sipping wine, nomming our beef, trying to stuff all the food into our tummies (We ended up with half of our sides untouched! :( ) when suddenly i looked at Jon and i told him i don't feel very well! Jon knew that face too well! :( It's the I-Can't-Hold-My-Alcohol face! :( He quickly passed me his empty glass and ermmm i emptied my stomach contents into the glass, within seconds, the glass was overfilling and Jon had to call for help! *shy*

The server ran and grabbed the wine bucket and i filled it up halfway (Seriously, who knew our stomachs, or rather mine wtf, could fit so much food! -_-), i was ushered to the ladies and they were all really nice, checking with Jon if i was okay etc but i was SOOO embarrassed i sneaked out through the back door, took the long way out of the building and never returned to Broadbeach again! T_T (Errr yes we did pay the bill in case you were wondering wtf!) THANK GOD THE WASHROOM WAS NOT IN THE RESTAURANT! T___T

I was on an alcohol ban for the longest time! :((( Whenever i want alcohol to accompany our dinner, i have to get permission from Jon because apparently he is always the one having to clean up after me! #truestory

End with a picture from our 1950s apartment! :D The view was breathtaking but if you turn the camera 180 degrees then the view of the room might cause you to regurgitate WTF! (Okay it's really not THAT bad, i'm just exaggerating! :P)

So if you're a guy, you will read the title and think of something very very dirty! -_- But i think for any girl, any of those 4 words would led you to think of only one thing: HAIR! :D

I need a hairover SO BAD, i find my hair pretty high maintenance! *grumbles* After a visit to Yen (My regular hair stylist), my hair will usually remain healthy and bouncy for 2-3 months at most and i will need a quick hair fix! I don't know of any good hair stylists in Aussie, not to mention i will HATE paying what i usually pay but in AUD! T_T Spending MYR 1-2k on my hair is NOT ideal! :( So there comes the self-cutting! *shifty eyes*

Since i'm such a cheapo, i usually trim my bangs myself and it will come a point where it's no longer salvageable (By me at least) and i think i have reached that state now, and i won't be heading home for another 2 months + (Surprisingly, this time by choice! I think Sydney is really starting to grow on me!)!

I was just looking at some old pictures, trying to figure out what i can do to give my hair a new life wtf! Some more successful hairvolution i have had!

THE BANGS:

I actually quite like myself with bangs! This is the first time ever i do not look like i moulded a coconut shell on top of my head and trimmed it off - I found out the biggest mistake one can make when they do shorts bangs is to straighten their hair when they cut it and i have made the same mistake over and over again! This time when i finally did it with my non-chemically modified hair, it actually looked pretty good, if i may say so by myself! *shy* But be warned, for the first 2 weeks, it's not unusual to feel like a certain fungi WTF!

THE CURLS:

This is possibly one of my favourite hair ever! :))) But unfortunately, permanent curls CANNOT achieve this effect! With permanent curls, i'd say at best my hair look voluminous, other descriptions include maggi mee, Einstein and bomb WTF! Unfortunately, a curling tong (Mine costs me something like a few hundred AUD WTF, kena con! T_T) burns my hair and 6 months into it, my hair has a permanent burnt smell and it turned into this sick disgusting yellow-ish shade! :( Yen snipped off every last strand of those disgusting ends (A good 5-6 inches me thinks! T_T)

THE SIDE:

This is my default! I have had side-swept bangs/long hair for as long as i can remember! I feel most comfortable with my side-swept bangs straight long hair but i get bored of it very easily! After a wile i feel as though i need a change, which is about now!

THE CENTER:

This is one style i have never tried but am quite keen to give it a shot if only i don't look like John Lennon's brother (Yes you heard me right, BROTHER FML!) in it! T_T I was reading an article and it said something along the lines of center parting involves alot of symmetry in the face so unless you're really beautiful, chances are you're not going to carry it off! :( ~~Well, i can always run to Korea to fix that problem WTFWTFWTF!~~

Which is you favourite? :)))

3 Words That Best Describe Your Style

2011-10-01T10:46:00.003+08:00

Someone asked me that question in some Q&A thingie early this year and without thinking, i automatically answered 'Girly, fun, feminine!' Easy peasy! I loved anything pink, bows, chiffon, tulle, pearls, embellishments, sequins, florals, swishy, pastels and i will be that girl sitting opposite you wearing all of the above in one outfit, causing a bit of distressed to your eyes but you definitely cannot deny that girl is one FEMININE girl HEHE! :P

If you ask me the same question now, i will answer you with a 'CONFUSED!' I think we all go through phases, influenced by current trends, what we see people wearing, what's in store etc etc and i'm back at my Square 1 phase at the moment which is kind of annoying because you don't quite like what you bought before but you feel like buying everything in store now to experiment! -___- F My Alannah Hill collection cos i'm over girly at the moment wtf!

Looking at my sickly sweet tulle double bustier full skirted dress, i didn't know what to do with it! I don't want to wear it with my fully embellished pink cardigan and call it a day so my 'confuse' stage stepped in and try to 'masculinify' (No such word wtf, try Jingtionary wtf!) the dress! Girly still runs in my blood so my idea of 'masculine' is like this WTF!

When i don't put tension in my lower lip, my face is actually damn friggin' round! For reference sake, look into the sky at night WTF!

Warning: A lot of disjointed pictures of my outfit! :P

Doesn't matter that i look mildly possessed, i looked skinny here whee-hee! :P

Tulle Double Bustier Full Skirted Dress: Valleygirl
Chiffon Cuffed Trench: Korea
Pearl Angora Headband: Topshop
Earrings: Chanel
Necklace: Chanel
Heart Locket: Tiffany & Co.
Rings: Forever New
Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo
Bag: Sportsgirl

So, in 3 words, describe YOUR style! :D

Sticky Situation

2011-09-29T21:51:00.002+08:00

I cleaned up the house before Jon got back because whenever i complained that i was bored while he was away, he will coldly tell me to 'Go make yourself useful by cleaning up the house!' -___- And i realized 70% of the mess we have in the house are mainly my clothes/shoes/accessories strewn at all corners of the house! *shifty eyes* And the remaining 25% is the hair i shed wtf (And by hair i mean the ones on my head WTFWTF!)! -____- We emptied the vacuum cleaner and found a WHOLE BAG FULL OF MY HAIR WTF!!!!!

So obviously my clothes have to go somewhere right? Seriously i get damn annoy at Jon's wardrobe, he has a huge chunk of space in his 4 door wardrobe, so i basically moved all his clothes into the 2-door one and hogged the entire 2 door to myself! When Jon came back, he opened his wardrobe and turned to me with a O.O while i innocently stared back (Thank God he was really please with the clean house, so he didn't throw all my clothes out!) and when i told him i used up his stash of hangers and we need to buy more (I later found out that he thought to himself before on when will he ever be able to finish using all the hangers he got, don't worry you have me!!!! *smiles brightly*), he replied with a 'My eyes are gonna fall off its sockets!" HAHAHAHAH! Drama king la my boyfriend! :P

The scary thing is that what i have in his wardrobe is not even 1% of what i actually have! *shifty eyes* He wanted to turn his loggia (Don't really know how to describe this for those of you who do not know what it is, but it's like an open plan balcony which you can turn into an indoor area and vice versa) into my walk-in, i think i have trained him well! :D :D :D We are thinking of renting the rubbish chute room WTF to turn it into my walk-in as well HAHAHA!

Just a few hours ago, preparing for dinner! :))) Whee so excited to go for fancy-ish dinners again! All those cooking-by-myself meals i had! *shudders*

A little sparkly to celebrate the occasion! :)

WELCOME HOME MY DARLING!!!!!! :D :D :D

Whilst other boyfriends buy their girlfriends rings and shoes and necklaces, my boyfriend brought me back a 2 feet long (I'M NOT KIDDING) apple strudel and cans of kaya for me WTF! (Remember he doesn't encourage my shopping habits? So he feed onto my other habit - which is sideways fml!) T_T

Goodby Independence

2011-09-28T19:29:00.003+08:00

Just a quick short post today! :)))

I'm going to be starting my surgery placement soon (I was told that on bad days - which can happen quite often - i'll be stuck in the operating theaters from 7-7, GOODBYE SUNLIGHT!! T____T) so i'm trying to get all my assessments for this current rotation over and done with so i can have a little bit of R&R next week before the nightmare begins! T_T

I already think i'm not a surgery person before i found out about the long hours, i am not a fan of blood and gore (I used to faint at the sight or smell of them, i have came along way since, now i just poke and prod around distastefully, I'M GETTING THERE! *strong face*) and rumour has it that surgeons have the worst temper of all, i'll let you guys know about that! T_T On the bright side, at least i might turn geisha fair after my rotation! *optimistic*

Also also also, Jon would be back in about 30 minutes time YAY! I have been in extremely cheery mood all day, surprise surprise i even baked him a cake and cleaned up the house before he gets back and i think i won't be touching the oven for awhile now that he's back THANK GOD! I have a huge blister on my thumb from the burns and another very nasty looking burn on my knuckles, i'm starting to develop a phobia towards ovens fml!

Just a random picture of my new dress! :)))

Resuming my 'Princess' status in a bit, HELL YEAH! :D

It Takes 21 Days To Make A Habit

2011-09-26T20:39:00.004+08:00

ARGHHHHHHHH this is the 3rd time this week i have burnt my hands (2 fingers, knuckles and left arm thank you very much) which cooking! And by cooking, i actually mean just chucking things into the oven to cook and all i have to do is to place and remove the tray from the oven! -_- The MOST frustrating part is of course, the food i cooked did not even come close to tasting good FML! :(

I always joke that my talent in cooking comes that whatever i put my hands on, it will end up tasting nasty, i'm slowly beginning to believe it! T_T

Jon needs to come back sooooooooon (My superboyfriend usually cooks for me and then i'm bullied into doing the cleaning - Dishwasher FTW! :D), for obvious reasons, we decided that for the best interest of both our tummies, he should do the cooking! I enjoy neither cooking nor cleaning so it doesn't bother me (much)!

And speaking of superboyfriends, today is not the first time i saw a friend's boyfriend buying them designer handbags (ALLY, YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!) or anything shopping-related for that matter! And i thought to myself, damns Jon has never got me anything shopping related! I always always always pay him back if i ever swipe his card in a mall (More like in a virtual mall! *shifty eyes*)!

He does not encourage my shopping.. habit, so he says! T_T To be honest, it doesn't really bother me because i honestly do not need another person 'encouraging' me to shop, as it is, with almost zero encouragement at the moment, i think i'm doing pretty well, with constant influx of shopping bags delivered to Jon's doorstep! :)

But just in case he reads my blog (He claims he doesn't but occasionally he will quote something from my blog that i have never told him before, FISHY!), I WANT A DESIGNER HANDBAG FOR MY BIRTHDAY NEXT YEAR! Like, you can just ask me what i want and i will pretend i have never told you okay okay okay? :D (He always get frustrated because he can almost never surprise me because i will pester him till the cows fly home - Like i'm already pestering him on what he plans to do for my birthday NEXT YEAR! *shifty eyes*)

***
One rainy weekday night, i dragged Jon to the one-hatted Bodega, Surry Hills for dinner! :) Contrary to popular belief, i do not only dine at hatted restaurants, the fact that i do not blog about Maccas does not mean i do not eat Maccas (They call Mcd's 'Maccas' in Australia btw) and it also does not mean that Maccas is not the best thing ever! :P

Complimentary bread & olive oil dip! I personally prefer bread and butter to olive oil! (Think truffle butter and seaweed butter, NOMS!)

Mushrooms in garlic which was super yummy (Everything was super yummy btw!)

Sashimi kingfish on garlic toast with cuttlefish ceviche and mojama! I don't know what mojama is but holy mama this was damn friggin' good!!

Bodega chicken wings which were bags of flavour!!

Steamed pork belly with warm salad of onion and shiitake mushrooms! This was probably my least favourite because i love a bit of crackling in my pork but even then it was a dish with no faults!

For desserts, we shared the 'Banana split' which is basically Cream flan, dulce de leche ice-cream, ginger biscuit & banana! I generally hate bananas but their dessert collection was really small (Two sweets & a cheese selection) and i was not into figs so i took a leap and chose the banana, surprisingly i licked every single drop of the flan off the plate! My dog, BB would have been proud WTF!

Everything was really really good, probably one of the BEST tapas i have tried so far! *rubs tummy* It was pretty pricey for the portion sizes (We were, FINE more like i was left still a little hungry after the meal! T_T) but then any random Thai/Korean restaurant in Sydney can set you back at about $50-60 for two, so if you're in Sydney, you should really try Bodega! :D

I think i will look pretty with dimples!! :) Ahem plastic surgery please! :P

The Tiger Bit The Duck Bit The Penguin & They All Fall Down

2011-09-25T14:48:00.002+08:00

Today is my #EPICFAIL day wuwuwuwwuwuwu! T_T Firstly, it was a very rainy day and i already planned to do some shopping in Bondi so i was singing 'Rain rain go away so little Jing can go and ~~shop~~ play' and i realized i forgot the lyrics to that song! *smacks forehead maximum* After awhile, i decided to not let the rain dampen my mood so i tied up all my oily hair (RAN OUT OF SHAMPOO CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS! T_T) and headed to the mall!

Even with the GPS turned on, i missed two major turns and could not find the entrance to the parking! I saw a blue 'P' sign and happily turned it, i was disappointed to find Westfield Bondi Junction no longer offer free 2 hours parking but whatever, i took forever to find a parking and happily walked into the mall, only to find it looking different! I walked around the tiny mall and saw no signs of Chanel, Oroton, Alannah Hill and that is when it hit me, I'M IN THE WRONG MALL! *smacks forehead* I thought i will just walk over and found that it was raining cats and dogs and the Westfield looked as though it's a few kilometers away!

EPIC FAIL MAX, i had to drive out of my 'took-forever-to-find-you' parking spot and went around in circles till i found the entrance to the parking area and took another forever to find a parking place, HURMPHHHHH!

Sometimes i wonder if there's something wrong with my IQ FML! T____T

***
Continued from the post below! :) Remember i mentioned my very cute top? Well, the top matches my IQ very well wtf though i must say, no way will i ever be able to draw/scribble like that! My dog drawing looks like a human with four legs! (We played pictionary that day and i warned everyone of my drawings and at the end of the game, a friend told me 'You really weren't kidding when you said you can't draw!' TEE-HEE!)

Cute or not? :D

Cooking up a Storm

2011-09-23T20:25:00.006+08:00

Storm, in a bad way wtf!

Yes, i'm blogging now so you can probably guessed that i survived cooking by myself, with all fingers still intact thank God! I wanted to make myself tuna baked pasta yesterday (BEST premade food EVER! :D) and when Jon makes it for me, he makes it look really simple!

Step 1: Boil pasta with salt and drain.
Step 2: Pop the tuna and pasta sauce into the pasta, mix well.
Step 3: Put a layer of mixed pasta + tuna onto a tray, add a layer of cheese and pop it into the oven!

EASY!!!

But fail Jing already encountered problems in Step 1! The pasta pack told me to 'Drain pasta when cooked al dente' instead of telling me to boil it for X minutes, so i basically hovered over the boiling pot the whole time, poking my pasta! T_T

The biggest problem came when i attempted Step 2!! I realized in order to get my tuna out of the can, i need a can opener and i have never used a can opener in my life! I panicked and dropped Jon a message and he sent me a link to 'How to manually open a can for a retard' on Youtube HAHAHAHAHAHAAH! The funniest part was i still couldn't get it right, Jon had to teach me over Skype HAHAHAAHHAAHA i still can't stop laughing at his -____- expression! He even needed to teach me to open the jar of pasta sauce! *sheepish*

And after much drama and some burned knuckles, i got my tuna baked pasta! *strong sense of achievement* For someone who have scored strings of As throughout her life, you would expect simple living skills like a can opener will not put her brain cells to test! -______-

***

Before Jon left, we went on an eating spree (I'm depending on those calories to survive me through the week <--- HAHAHAHAHA very funny Jing, your body fats can last you 3 years of starvation wtf!) and on Day 1 back to Sydney, we hit Foveaux, Surry Hills! :)

Bread & butter to start the meal! :) Pardon the crappy quality pictures, it was pretty dark in the restaurant! :(

For entree, i started with a Salt cod brandade sandwich, tomato and olive salad which looked better than it tastes! I'm not a fan of creamy textured food (With the fear of it being fatty,! A Did You Know fact: I eat almost zero mayonnaise - Have you seen how much oil goes into that dreaded white thing?!) and this dish was exactly that! :(

Jon's Caramelised pigs head and black pudding terrine, crunchy breaded ears, caper mayonnaise which i quite like! :) I think this is the first time i have ever tasted a terrine despite watching it on Masterchef all the time! :) I was expecting some mushy brain like texture (I WOULD KNOW, i have had lamb brains before! *gulps) but surprisingly it wasn't quite so!

We both chose the same choice of mains: Braised wagyu shin, potato puree and mushrooms which was nice and what i would called 'honest food' (I'm a fan of slightly weird, exciting food, think Heston Blumenthal! *hearts!)

We also ended up choosing the same dessert: Ginger sponge, carrot marmalade, cream cheese ice cream and walnut powder! The ginger sponge has a real kick to it but i love my ginger snaps so i happily gulped the whole thing down! :D

Jon was feeling very sleepy throughout the whole meal, so we got ourselves some coffee and petit fours to complete the meal! :)))

Petit fours: Sandwiched scones & rocky road! :)

Jon told me my cute 'pineapple' skirt made me look like a chicken, MEN! -_- And i wore the cutest top everrrrr, show you next time! :P

Through Heart-shaped Lens

2011-09-22T18:23:00.005+08:00

Update: Omg lovin' the new Azorias collection!!!

I AM A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN! (Hmmm i may or may not prefer the term 'girl', sounds younger wtf! When you reach a certain milestone in life, you will get upset over the simplest thing like 'WHY DON'T BOUNCERS ASK ME FOR ID ANYMORE?'! And to think that i used to feel 'cool' when i appear mature! Conclusion: I become younger mentally as i aged WTF!)

Jon left me this morning to head back to Perth for a week! :( He suggested i join him but the type of accommodation he offered was 'You can set a tent at my lawn!' WTF and he dared to tell his friends that i'm not following him back because i'd rather stay in Sydney HURMPH!! The funny thing is that the only souvenir i asked of him is to get me KAYA WTF from Perth! I don't know why i can never find kaya in Sydney (Kaya + crackers is the shiznit YO!) but apparently there are some in Perth WHEE-HEE!

The apartment is so quiet now without him! :( Not because he makes much noise, more like when he's around I make alot of noise! *shifty eyes* Half-tempted to throw a party this weekend wtf (YAY NO SUPERVISION HAHAHA!) since we have a few bottles of wines left from our Hunter Valley trip! Unfortunately, my guest list thus far is still restricted to ME and SCOOBY-DOO (The stuff toy fml!) #foreveralone

I hate that i have slowly turned into those girls who are very reliant on their other half, i love to think of myself as strong and independent and NOT CLINGY! :(

I AM A STRONG AND INDEPENDENT WOMAN, i can live without my boyfriend for a week!

***

On my first day in Gold Coast! Surfers Paradise is GORGEOUS but we sort of went at the wrong time, please do not be fooled by the gorgeous backdrop, it was intermittently raining throughout and i was basically doing electric dance to generate heat wtf! And i don't know why i looked as though i have an Adam's (Jing's?) apple FML! I swear i'm not a transexual although i can look like one sometimes! T_T

Such a lovely day, why is the beach empty? BECAUSE THE WEATHER WAS SO SCREWED UP! I'm not even kidding you, just minutes before and after this picture as taken, it was raining all over! -_-

When it was back sunny, Jon stole my heart-shaped sunnies because he left his behind! -_- When i finally got use to how he looked with one, he refused to wear it anymore, pfft!

Okay, back to my favourite activity! :D Pardon my crappy hair and face, we woke up at 5am to catch our flight and we got to Gold Coast too early, the apartment that we booked (Which i think i have mentioned before, besides the awesome view, the interior looked as though it came straight from 1950s! -_-) was still occupied so i could not even freshen up! :(

A lot of hearts popped up while i was in Gold Coast! :D

I really should look into investing in a pair of sunnies! T_T Let me tell you a secret, i have never owned a single pair of designer sunnies! *shy* I think my sunnies have never cost me more than Rm 60 HEH! But i find cheap sunnies tend to fall apart faster, possibly due to the fact that it doesn't come with a box? But boxes are bulky and some of my bags are not exactly box-size friendly! I'll worry about sunnies funds when summer comes! =P

PRETTY!!!

I AM A STRONG IN DEPENDENT WOMAN WHO IS GONNA COOK MY DINNER NOW! (Jon usually makes me dinner! T_T) If i do not blog tomorrow, i may have burned down the house fml!

Post-It

2011-09-20T19:46:00.002+08:00

I am itching to shop so bad! I just managed to clear a few pieces off Boudoir and i'm itching to fill them up again (Only recently i have got some stuff off Dorothyperkins.com, and let me assure you that the amount exceeded what i sold!), endless vicious cycle i tell you!!

And the thing is that i will be moving out of my current apartment in less than 2 months (GOODBYE WALK-IN, IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU! T_T) and who knows, my next apartment might come with a tiny tiny wardrobe! Also, there has been plans that i might move to Sydney next year and commute for classes and let me tell you, Jon's 4-door-wardrobe will not be able to accommodate all my junk (I'm a hoarder btw wtf!)!

Speaking of wardrobes, Josh found this Malaysian-based website that day where people submit pictures of their wardrobe and Josh claims that my wardrobe size is 9-10 times the average person's wardrobe, YAU MOU?! Wen joked that we don't use wardROBE, we use wardROOM HAHAHAHA!

***

Let me bring you back in time to one of the cutest and most interactive cafe i have been to! :))) (In Korea!)
Every corner of the cafe is plastered with post-it notes written by the patrons! We were provided with stationery, paper and hooks and once we finish scribbling, we're free to hook them to anywhere in the cafe, HOW CUTE!

My plum tea, which was surprisingly quite refreshing! :) Hint of sourness, served warm! :)

Teeny's 'seven-wheat' tea which she loved so much, she got a whole box of mixers back home! :)

Korean snacks, which reminded me alot of Chinese snacks that my mum binges on while she watches Korean drama!

Camwhore queen! For some reason, i have established that title with some of the people that i sparingly camwhore with (I'm shy around strangers! *smile shyly*), i don't know where they pick up that information from! But it's true la wtf!

We had tea with Ting's Korean friend so she taught us to write our names in Korean! Look what we came up with! :D (To be honest, by now i can't remember what we wrote on that note but something along the lines of WE LOVE KOREA!)

Ting hanging our masterpiece amongst the forest of post-its!

And here ends my lazy post! I need to consider photo-blogging cos i think i'm becoming increasingly boring (Old already, what to do!) but i still find my pictures quite nice! *shy*

Outback Jing

2011-09-19T12:38:00.004+08:00

Update: Cleared my wardrobe once again, head on over to Boudoir to not miss out!! :D

Hellooooo everyone, i may or may not have mentioned that i'll be running away for a short weekend getaway at Hunter Valley (More incentive to follow me on Twitter? *shameless advertising* :P), what was planned was a log cabin perched on a hillside overlooking a lake with private tennis court, state of the art barbeque set and a jacuzzi facing greenery on top of the hill! However, it wouldn't be right for Jing to not get con WTF!

Our log cabin on a hillside was literally on a hill (It was so steep to drive up to the driveway, we just ended up walking up & down most of the time!), our private tennis court was nowhere to be seen (Rumour has it that it's hidden behind the woods/forest behind us but none of us dared to venture any further than the log cabin thank you very much!), our barbeque set turned out to be out of gas and the lake view we were promised were hidden by weeds! T______T

Despite all that, we had a good laugh over what we should steal from the house to redeem what we paid for (Ahem, the house is now devoid of all cleaning materials and tissues HAHAHAAHAHA!)! It was really fun and relaxing though, i had no reception at the house (It was literally situated in the middle of nowhere!) which i found quite relaxing, i felt like a 100% Outback Jing living in the greens with no form of entertainment besides ourselves (I must say i find myself quite entertaining wtf! *shameless*)! However, being the internet junkie i am, at the first sign of any reception, i started stalking my FB and Twitter right away, so much for being Outback Jing! -_-

Some photos! :))) Lookie how pretty the countryside is! :)))

Girly chatters over wine! :D

And and and Jeen got us some Master Kobe Wagyu, om-nom-nom-nom! :)

Blog more soon! :)))

Cold War

2011-09-16T20:29:00.002+08:00

Most best friends are huggly and squealy, that could not have been further away from MY relationship with my best friend! Unlike the usual bestie relationship, we share this love-hate relationship with each other whereby nothing good comes out from our mouth to each other most of the time! We have this constant battle to see who among us is the COLDEST of them all wtf! We score points when we say and do something COLD to each other HAHAHAHA! A funny pair we are, but we do things ranging from laughing very hard at one's misfortune to plotting against each other, just to name a few but deep deep down, i cannot find a better friend! :) We're just too macho to show it! :P

Back in high school, there were 3 of us and we always tell Josh that he is a lucky guy, surrounded by two pretty (More the 3rd best friend, can't say the same for myself in high school! T_T) girls in which he will scoff and tell us that he wouldn't date us if we were the two last girls standing, hurmph!

Because it's your birthday today, i shall be kind and let you know that you're one of the most stylish man i know! :)

And know that i will always have your back! :D

Happy birthday kawanster! :)))

Rural Boy Meets City Girl

2011-09-15T17:07:00.004+08:00

I AM SICK AGAIN! :( Was just blogging about me rarely getting the sickies in Aussie and now my entire table is flooded with tissue dumplings FML! Have absolutely zero mood to blog, completely uninspired despite having an album filled with food and outfit pictures, i think i am losing my blogging mojo, goodbye everyone it was nice knowing you wtf! (Okay maybe not, i'm too narcissistic to end this blog, at least for now! :P)

Had a talk with Jon today and i found out things i never knew about my boyf (After dating for 1 year ++ #relationshipfail!) such as him owning a business in the States and the fact that he refuses to be an investment banker! What bothers me most is the latter (After he told me how much one earns! $.$) because there goes my AU$ 3 mil Mosman home WTF! Can someone please talk some sense into my 'someday-i-want-to-live-in-a-quiet-rural-town' boyf wtf because i am the 'ultimate-city-girl' girlfriend (Funny how we're living lives in reverse now! :P)!

***

On a totally unrelated note, i was helping a friend, who will be visiting Sydney, check on the dates that there will be fireworks display in Darling Harbour, and on a whim i decided to cancel my Korean BBQ plan and head over for fireworks display instead! (Damn i LOVE Sydney, which other city have firework display on a weekly basis?) We were seated on the pier before the fireworks (Like 200 meters from where they were gonna release the fireworks) and i shouted when the fireworks started HAHA because the bang gave me a scare but soon after, i was staring in awe, feels as though stars were falling down from heaven!! :)))

Rewind back to the time when we were stuck in the car, thinking that we'll probably miss the fireworks because it was impossible to find parking at the 'cheap' parking lot (By 'cheap', i mean AU$12 cheap which is NOT cheap at all, okay maybe i don't like Sydney so much anymore! Parking rates here are ridiculous, to the point that sometimes it's cheaper to just get a fine! -_-)

After fireworks, we decided to just grab dinner from one of the Darling Harbour restaurants! :) I loveeee outdoor seating, much to Jon's disdain in the middle of winter! :P

Damper w' condiments as an entree, which basically is similar to a savoury scone! :)

Jon's main, LOBSTA which i could not stop stealing! #forevergreedy

My seafood and chicken paella which cannot hold a candle to Jon's lobster! *steals more* :P

Princess

2011-09-13T20:20:00.003+08:00

I finally stopped procrastinating and booked my flights home!! :D (I just found out my friend got MAS tickets back to Malaysia for AU$700++ when she booked in February, it costs me friggin' AU$1.7k PFFFTTTTTT!)

While booking my tickets, there was an option where i can choose my 'title', i found 'Princess' in the list and was VERY VERY VERY tempted put a Princess Hoe Hui Jing HAHAHAAHA! Well, i am a princess in the family! *defensive* Will be funny to see their reaction, especially when they find a 'princess' in economy class WTF!

I didn't even realized it was Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday (JELLY MOONCAKES!!!!) until mummy called! Apparently we can get jelly mooncakes all year round now so she promised me some when i'm home! :D And it was a tad awkward as i was trying on clothes while she called (Because i'll be heading to Hunter Valley this weekend, more on that later! :D) so i was half-naked freezing my arse off (literally TMI wtf) chatting with her!

So since we are on the topic of family, i dug out some pictures from the last time i was home (Which was actually only 2 months ago!), my hair was so much shorter then!! A few days shy from leaving, i thought i will hatch my luck by luring mummy to Pavilion, hoping she will buy me some designer goods but of course no such luck! T_T We had tea at Godiva Chocolatier (The food weren't all that pretty so i did not bother with pics!)

We do look like sisters, don't we? :)))

Sorry sister, this is the only remotely cute picture of me that i could find! T_T I was having the sickies that day (I get my random runny nose ALOT when i'm in KL, like twice a week alot! -_-) so pardon the crappy face!

This is a friendly message from Ting to advise u against ordering their milk chocolate at Godiva! Ting claimed that it tasted like water and she actually got the waitress to brew her another pot, which she claimed tasted the same as before, fail max!

Ting showing off her matching nails with her then-newly-bought Kate Spade iPhone case! Wish they sell iPhone 3GS ones (I know i know i'm stuck in Stone Age! T_T) - Actually they do but it was damn ugly boo!

Can't wait to go home!! :))) I will be going home pretty late this year (Mummy mentioned something about Hong Kong in Christmasssss, waittt for meeee) because i'll be staying with Jon's birthday, please let him know he has the best girlfriend and he should buy her more gifts wtf thanks! :P

Grumpy is my Middle Name

2011-09-12T20:08:00.002+08:00

'If i were to be one of the seven dwarfs, i would be ____!'

GRUMPY FOR SURE! Sometimes i think my parents named me Hoe Grumpy Jing but for the sake of me not getting teased in school, they changed it some point in my life! *drama queen* Especially when it comes to Mondays, i'm that extra bit grumpy! Well if there was a Lazy (Was there one? *scratches head) i can probably be one too wtf!

I had an assessment this morning and being the usual lazy procrastinating me, i told Jon i only needed an hour right before i sleep to read up on the materials, so we happily went for Korean BBQ and bubble tea (AND I LEFT MY CAMERA AT THE KOREAN BBQ PLACEEEEEE!!!! Thank God they kept it for me, unlike this other restaurant in Darling Harbour! *dark*) and ended up taking wayyyy more than an hour, so i barely had 5 hours of sleep! T_T

If there is one thing i could change, i would make people work on Saturday and Sunday and keep Monday-Friday as weekends, please vote for me for president wtf thanks! :P

'If i were to be one of the seven dwarfs, i would be ____!'

Who would you be? ;)

The Forbidden 'F' Word

2011-09-10T13:34:00.002+08:00

You see, i am cursed with horrendous love handles/muffin tops fml! Even at my thinnest point (43 kg wherefore art thou? T_T), my love handles were still VERY prominent (Of course, gone were the days that i only have to worry about my love handles, these days there are tummy, elephant thighs, moon face to keep me busy fts!)!

Jon saw my love handles last night (We weren't doing anything naughty i promise WTF!) and he went:
Response 1: 'Omg baby, you're fffff...' *trails off*
Response 2: 'I mean your figure is giving way!'
Response 3: 'Don't worry, i think i'm as fat as you now!'

ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!!!

Can you please agree with me that any one of these 3 statements above can earn a boyfriend a decapitation sentence, WHAT MORE WHEN YOU GET ALL THREE AT ONCE? T_T

Needless to say, i did not speak to him all night and half of the morning, soon after he promised to never say the 'F' word again HAAHAHAHAHAH! :P

P/s: I'm damn fierce, even if i'm fat, i wouldn't allow my boyfriend to say so, life is like that wtf!

***

Outfit picture on my first ever double date whee-hee! :) (More on the actual double date itself later! :P)

I dare say i rarely wear the same thing twice, but i must have worn this skirt at least 4-5 times in the past 3 months! A black pleated skirt is an absolute must please! ;)

The Hilton

2011-09-08T19:38:00.005+08:00

I wore pants to the hospital for the first time in my real life today! #madeamarkinlife Felt all abit self-conscious because i don't look my tallest in pants (Hence i'm always in skirts and shorts!!) and it did not help that i got my pants one size smaller so it would fit my ankles well, yeah yeah i'm your typical ice-cream stick figure (Huge on top, only small at my ankles fts!) so i could not bend my knees in my peace all day & can you imagine the pain when i have to run up & down the staircase through ward rounds?

I found the perfect solution: Hop up & down chinese vampire style! :D I was all proud until my consultant turned around and gave me the O.O face HEHEHEHEE! :P

You should all follow me on Twitter so i can stop repeating my stories wtf!

***

Today's point of interest would be Breakfast at Glass, Hilton! :)

This is my second time here, the first when we stayed over at Hilton for Jon's birthday last year (which i STILL have no blogged about, blogger fail! *shifty eyes*) and i really like the idea of a buffet breakfast of fine quality (I really detest oily hash browns, lack of (pork) bacon wtf and spread that looked as though it has been there all year wtf!) and there's also a counter where you can get the chefs to make you whatever you please (Salmon & poached eggs with hollandase, pancakes, waffles, gluten free spread, basically anything you can find at any breakfast place in Aussie, only UNLIMITED! *greedy*)

This time around, we got amazing tables facing the city/Queen Victoria Building! as compared to the last! :)

Jon was sick all week so i was worried that he will not be able to eat the worth of the breakfast wtf (Asian thinking FTW!!!) but he ate like FIVE plates full of nonsense along with random shots of muesli etc! -_-

Said shot of muesli! I am not a fan of yoghurt-based products so i did not quite enjoy it, am i like the only one in this world who doesn't enjoy frozen yoghurt? :( Why have sour-y frozen yoghurt when you can have sweet ice-cream? T_T And the 'shot glass' reminds me so much of Lafite, Shangri-la!

Me? I kept taking food in 'fine dining' portions, trying half a hash brown, one mushroom etc and i kept telling Jon that i have a talent in plating up WTF! (You'll understand it if you watch Masterchef HAHAAH!)

See the scone-like bread (Clueless of what it's called) at the top? I thought it was some chocolate scone-like thing, and it turned out to be olive bread and i DETEST olives (I think i might be the only one too fml, i only like the taste of olive oil HEE!), i took one bite and when 'EWW OLIVES!' and spat it out, Jon could not stop laughing! -_-

Waffles with cherry compote and maple syrup, yummos! :) I probably only finished half of it! :( I think my conclusion of the day is to never bring me to any buffets if you plan to let me eat my worth of food or if they do fine for food wastage because i'm horrible at finishing my food, bad Hui Jing! T_T

Jon's 'sick people' congee wtf! I completely ignored the Asian section, not unless they have my favourite red bean pau or sunshine bun HEEE!

Took a whole plateful of fruits just because i love the colours WTF!

While trying to wait for my tummy to calm down, always remember to camwhore! :P

And and and do you guys notice anything funny from this picture?

I did not notice it at all but Jon pointed out that the walls of QVB were boarded up for renovation purposes and they made it resemble the walls so you can barely tell hahahahaah!

The only outfit picture i have so far! :P The secret it out wtf, i sometimes shoot my outfit pictures a bit later if i can't find time to do it on the same day! :P Brought my BBag out to play! :D And and and this Azorias dress got me heaps of compliments that day, from store to store i went (I went shopping after breakkie!)! :D And luck you, Azorias just released it on their new arrivals today! :D

AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER TO SEE THOU!!!!

Party All Night & Shop All Day

2011-09-06T20:45:00.006+08:00

I know i know, i have been putting off blogging!

But i swear i have a better excuse this time! *shifty eyes* Remember the missing audio system (More like the deleted one! -_-)? So Jon fixed it (HURRAH, boyfriends can be so useful sometimes HEHEHE!) but while he was fixing it, i took over his laptop and migrated my (PINK!!) wireless mouse over! I lugged my wireless mouse back for the weekdays but realized i left the USB with his laptop! *smacks forehead*

Surfing the internet (Especially online shopping i tell you) without a mouse is the mo(use)st annoying thing ever, i feel almost crippled without my mouse! It's a pain to scroll through files, move tabs and don't even get me started on editing pictures! :(

Not to mention i have been an ultra good student so far, staying till past 4 everyday and coming back home more work! Just tweeted that if i apply my usual 'Work hard, play harder' rule to life, i will be partying all night and shopping all day this weekend! *looks forward* :D

Not to bore you further with my weekday-blues (Yes i get the blues ALL WEEK WTF!), some super old pictures from donkey years ago! :P I loved my outfit that day, i felt very 'pretty' all day! :)))

I especially enjoy dressing up whenever i decide to dine near the Harbour Bridge/Opera House, easily my favourite picture-taking spot in Sydney! But who am i kidding, i can camwhore happily by myself next to a drain WTF! #truestory

We had lunch at the Opera Kitchen where Sydney's recognized chefs each operate a small section of the kitchen resulting in a melting pot of some of the best sushi, burgers, pastries etc.

I was most looking forward to try out Becasse Bakery (Becasse is a two-chef hats restaurant, having a chain of top-notch restaurants all over Sydney!)! The strawberry sable i had was HEAVENLY!!! I only allowed Jon a single bite! (WHAT is with men and their ultra big bites, i am not kidding you but his one bite is equivalent to like 3-5 of mine! -___- I have learned to put a finger to the spot that i would like him to stop at now wtf!)

The chocolate pot which consisted of only ONE honeycomb crunch! (When i bit into that, it was heavenly too but really, one in an entire pot wouldn't do!) Not a fan of chocolate-y desserts but we went there pretty late so the options left were pretty limited!

Miss Chu's mango and prawns rice paper rolls! I was really looking forward to trying this (Read some pretty good reviews) but i was quite disappointed! It tasted bland and i found parsley inside (HATE HATE HATE parsley meh!) but that might just be me, i am not a fan of cold rolls! FRIED FTW! *unhealthy*

Charlie & Co. (Also owned by Becasse) steak burger?! This was Jon's and i can't quite remember what he ordered! He told me it was a good burger but there wasn't anything spectacular about it, and trust him, that guy eats more burgers than i eat rice WTF!

STRAWBERRY SABLE!!!

Outfit:

The only close-up i have of my tweed jacket (Pardon the sausage-lips wtf)! :))) I went through a phase with tweed jackets (Don't you think it's close to impossible to find one, at least one that is reasonably priced? This one costs something ridiculous like AUD$189! -_-) and i got two of the same jacket in different colours! The other black one is now my staple for hospital mornings!

Burger Day

2011-09-04T19:51:00.004+08:00

Update: My lappie has been really slowwww lately, Jon told me that's cos i have lots of crap in my lappie! My korean drama kept stalling so i got really annoyed and decided to clear some crap off my lappie!

I was being 'smart' by trying to clear things that appear dodgy and right after i removed a few programmes, i noticed that the speed of uploading increased immediately (I was uploading the pics below!)! Happy as i was, i resumed my korean drama and there was something wrong with the volume of it, i tried adjusting it and realized that I HAVE NO MORE AUDIO CONTROL!

APPARENTLY I DELETED MY AUDIO DRIVER!! (Only because it looked dodgy of course! *defensive*)

Omgomgomgomgomg, i can't hear anything now! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! T___T

***

A friend once asked me, 'Do you ONLY fine dine?'

Contrary to what some might think, i have Chinese takeaway too (Where i will collect the food with no make-up, greasy hair and in the boyfriend's jumper, because i can save a few $ from delivery, hehe!) and if i tell you that your food tastes like Maccas, it's a MAJOR compliment, if i ever say your food tastes like Chicken McNuggets, it's probably the biggest compliment you can receive WTF!

Healthy burgers kononnya! :) Grill'd serves up some pretty wicked burgers, i can't believe Jon lives in Aussie but he has never stepped foot in Grill'd before, tsk-tsk!

From my experience, never ever ever remove that little stick that holds the burger together, i did it once and everything fell apart, i had to eat each layer separately after! -_-

Top to bottom: Egg, Onions, Bacon, Cheese, Grilled Steak, Beetroot, Lettuce! :)))

And their herb fries are the BOMB! :D

Dessert: ME WTFFF! :D

Can't believe the weekday cycle is starting again! *groans* I have decided to make the most of my time here in Australia now, but whenever weekdays come, i cannot help but to wish time will pass fast fast so i can welcome the weekends with open arms again! T_T

Take 5

2011-09-03T21:36:00.002+08:00

This is what you get from a blogger (I still find it weird to call myself a blogger, i prefer to think of myself as someone who blogs' if that makes any sense!) who doesn't feel like blogging, has absolutely nothing to tell you but somehow fee obliged to update you anyways!

Had a good-face day that day (Doesn't come by very often i must say! If you think a good hair day is hard to come by, try a good face day!) so camwhore a whole heaploads but found out i looked the same in all the shots anyways!

If you peer closely, you'll see a Jon completely whatever to my camwhore level, sometimes he even offers to help me camwhore! I have done well! :D

I only own a total of 3 tubes of lipstick (Actually 4, but i left the one i got recently at home, fail!) and i mixed two shades together and found my latest favourite pink kissable shade! :))) Refused to buy lipstick in Aussie because everything generally costs 30% more! -_-

End of camwhore entry wtf.

2011-09-02T14:05:00.003+08:00

I just got news that a high school classmate of mine passed away yesterday! :( It came as a complete shock to everyone as he was barely 23 and being a Cambridge student, he had the world ahead of him!

Saw this on his FB and it made me really sad reading it: 'You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will take you?'

Life is such a fragile thing, too short to live it as anything but to the fullest!

I hope that you're in a better place now Ying Choy, your presence will be sorely missed by every single one of our lives that you have touched! :( May you rest in peace!

Cuteness Overload

2011-08-31T20:22:00.005+08:00

It was daddy's birthday not too long ago and probably for the first time in my life, i have decided to 'surprise' him with a gift (He doesn't really fancy surprises, because he knows that somehow he always ends up paying for his own surprises! *shifty eyes*), i managed to keep my mouth shut so far, so he has no idea that his gift is on his way to him now! :)))

And lookie at the card i got him!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (It's Father's Day this weekend in Aussie hence most of the cuter cards are meant for Father's Day!)

Now i just need to pray that the card gets to him before my credit card bill does! *shifty eyes*

I think i always get my hands on the cutest cards! :) Remember the love puzzle i got Jon?

I have been excited all week since i got daddy's gift, i think more excited than almost anything i got myself this whole year! Maybe, just maybe, giving is better than receiving! :P

Best Time of My Life

2011-08-30T20:00:00.003+08:00

Recently, there has been alot of talk amongst us medical students regarding our internship year (Or to some of you who are more familiar with this term - housemanship!)! I have never given it much thought because 3 years in Australia seems like a looongggg way to go, i could still remember the last few minutes before i lef home for the first to study abroad, i thought to myself sadly, 'When will i ever going to be back home for good again, 3 years is a really LONG time!' And suddenly reality hits, i'm about a year away from graduating (PLEASE LET ME GRADUATE WTF!) and applications for internship start next year!

When asked if i would be staying here for good or if i would return to my roots, i always reply with a very vague answer because deep down, i'm not sure if i'm ready to give up everything at home to stay here for good! But there has been a recent as it has become increasingly difficult for an international student to get an internship in Australia! My seniors who are applying for internship this year, of many only one of them got an offer!

The worst part - My year is the first year most unis increase their intake of medical students, however internship training remain limited! In simpler terms, we call our year 'the tsunami year'! When i heard that news, my heart sank! The thought of leaving here scares me! I did not realize that Australia has grew on me in more ways than i can imagined!

Back home, i was your typical Cinderella, at 12 sharp i will have to be home so i was never the party type, of course the fact that i can't drink contributed to that alot too! :P In Sydney, i found my first dose of freedom and i surprise myself that i have not abused it one bit hehe! Something as simple as strolling on a lush green park puts a smile on my face - I cannot imagine doing the same in Malaysia without stepping on dog poo wtf or worse - get raped or robbed! -____-

I found happiness that i never thought will possible without my family! I love my family to death, being apart made me cherished time with them even more! I'd say the only reason that i would want to return to Malaysia, would be for my family!

I have done so many things that i never thought i will do here, learned so many things i never thought possible, discovered a side of me i never knew i had - I grew so much in this 1.5 years i'm here! :) Though it still perplexes me that i have to wash, clean and feed myself on top of work etc but the closet aunty in me is starting to get the hang of things lol!

Most importantly, i found the person that makes all the difference to my time in Australia, making it from bearable to fantastic! :)))

I fear the day i ever have to leave Sydney, and most of all i fear the day i ever have to leave my boyfriend! ='(

I have had the best time of my life here so far, i pray that i will be able to get an internship placement in Australia! :(

Monday is a Terrible Way to Spend 1/7th of Your Life

2011-08-29T19:30:00.003+08:00

Saw this on Teeny's blog and it could not describe my Monday better - 'Monday is a terrible way to spend 1/7th of you life!'

As it is, my holidays officially ended yesterday so the massive-st Monday blues is to be expected but to top it up, i did not check out my new timetable properly (The timetable was released during my hols so i did not give two hoots about it!) until the night before class started and i found out i have a case report due in 12 hours! I was still in Sydney so there's no way i can find a case so i woke up at 5 (@!$#$#$# WHAT HOUR IS THIS YOU TELL ME RAWR (**^(@) to get my case done and write it all up before ward rounds at 9 am fml!

A Monday will not be complete of course unless you get a toll fine the first thing you reach home! T_T

The night before class started, i visited my newly appointed god-daughter, HAZELNUT! :D Shoooooo freakin' cute but fml maximum, she developed this love for my make-up, every opportunity she has, she will jump up to lick my face! Now that i think about it, i should call Jeen up to check to make sure she's still alive wtf, just in case she suffers from make-up intoxication! *shifty eyes* And and and she kept thinking i'm a toy so she chewed on my hands and legs repeatedly, my limbs look emo now with all the cuts fml!

I took a couple of pictures with Hazelnut but she refused to look into the camera so i launched into a long lecture on 'how girls must always know how to camwhore' WTF! :P

Sheer Chiffon Top (Trust me to wear sheer tops all the time! -_-): Tattoo
Lace Shorts: Alannah Hill
Earrings: Chanel
Necklace: Chanel
Heart Locket: Tiffany & Co.

If you see Jeen, pleaseeeeee try to talk her into accepting me into her apartment, she lives in the most amazing apartment (SAUNA, GLASS POOL OVERLOOKING THE CBD, TANNING DECK, THEATER AND A FRIGGIN' CUTE PUP!!!) and rumour has it that she cooks amazinglyyyyy, i need a housemate like that so i can stop eating the mouth-cringing food i cook up! T_T

Just to complete my Monday, i have a whole lot of reading material that has to be read by tomorrow, please say this with me: EFF MY LIFE! T_T

Uncut, Uncensored - Hong Kong

2011-08-27T20:45:00.002+08:00

I was looking for a particular picture that day and i stumbled upon my Hong Kong album (Only pictures of us eating mostly, otherwise we'll be stuck in a mall hence no pictures - We conquered 3 malls in one day, no joke hey! :P) and i'm pretty sure i have only shared a small teeny portion (My albums are all scarily huge! *coughs* Camwhore *coughs*) and it will be a pity to not be able to experience my trip with you girls (I assume no guys will want to read my blog, every guy's nightmare wtf! :P)!

You may be able to tell, i'm suffering from severe holiday withdrawal symptoms (Classes starting on Monday NOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOO!!!)! :(

Do you like picture diarrhoea? :D

Lonely, I'm So Lonely

When Coco Chanel said, 'Take off the last accessory you put on before you leave home' (Or something to that effect, too lazy to google wtf!) i obviously wasn't paying attention! I dug out my girliest outfit with an abundance of tulle, bows, crystals, lace & chiffon hehehe! :)

Haven't dressed super girly in awhile and boy it feels good to be decked top to toe in pink! *bimbo*

On my very last day in Brisbane, Jon fell sick so i had to explore the city alone! :( Apparently my planning was comparable to a military bootcamp wtf (I forced him out of bed at 8am every morning to ensure we're the first ones in the theme park! *gung-ho*) AND it doesn't help that i told him that the weather in Queensland is like summer all year long, so both of us were not dressed warmly enough! :( I didn't feel too well as well on the last day but i could not miss out the chance to try out Le Bon Choix at Queen's as i love my pastries, also being a typical asian traveler, i have to make full use of every second i have in my trip! Sleep? I can sleep all i want when i'm home! *hardcore*

However, i must say, i did not mind exploring the city alone one bit because there's this huge strip of mall (I prefer shopping alone most times!) but i reallllyyyy do not like eating alone! :( I tweeted non-stop, trying to appear busy wtf so i don't look so sad! T_T

Very chocolate-y breakkie, chocolate au pain, vanilla eclair and signature hot chocolate which is basically melted milk chocolate! I had to wash down the hot chocolate with water, otherwise i would have suffered from choco intoxication and you don't want to see that cos you'll have an overhyper Jing running around! Warning: DANGEROUS WTF!

Yummy eclairs, which a friend recommended! :) I packed a whole lot more of pastries back to the hotel for the boyfriend (Yes we finally stayed at a hotel in Brisbane, no more dodgy apartments ala Gold Coast!) but didn't manage any pictures of them! :)

If you're observant enough, you'll realize that i'm carrying a different bag below! That's cause i was lugging my traveling tote most of the trip (A white one, BAD IDEA JING!) but i feel my cutesy heart bag matches my outfit better! :D Girly overload wei!

Sheer Chiffon Pussybow Blousson: H&M
Tulle Skirt: Valleygirl
Lace Cardigan w' Embellishments: Alannah Hill
Earrings: Chanel
3-D Bow Clincher: Alannah Hill
Ring: Forever New
Shoes: Miu Miu
White Tote (Above): Gucci
Heart Shaped Briefcase: Forever New

What do you girls think of eating by yourself? Are you like me, pretending to be busy, always trying to busy yourself with say a magazine or your phone/iPad/Laptop or are you perfectly at ease eating alone?

The Man

2011-08-24T19:48:00.004+08:00

'I think i should consider brushing my teeth every other day so we can save on toothpaste!'

Hello everyone, i'm going to introduce you to my father today! That exact sentence was one he brought up one day in which every single family member gave him the -_- face, he is also the same man who insists on wearing his hole-y shirts (The most revealing thus far can pass off as spaghetti straps WTF!)! As stingy as he is (I think i inherited abit of his genes, i have my -_- stingy moments too!!), he never stinge on us, particularly education wise, giving us the best of everything! :)

A friend once told me that i talk about my daddy alot, whenever i talk about something medically related, i cannot help but to bring up my daddy! You might not know this but i'm really proud to be your daughter! :)

I have such a beautiful family, would not trade it for anything in the world! *love*

This man who used to sneak up behind me on my first day of primary school to make sure i can get use to school and to not run and hurt myself when catching the school bus (He actually came up behind me and scolded me for running after the bus! T_T) and this is also the same man who fed me dinner for over 2 hours (I still eat at the same speed fml), who would have thought, some years down the road, people will mistake me as his mistress when it's just the two of us? -____________-

Happy birthday daddy, wish i'm home to celebrate today with you! :)))

P/s: Please do not disown me when you see the credit card bill wtf!!!

Back from Freezebane and Cold Coast

2011-08-23T19:29:00.005+08:00

Hellooooooooooo, i'm back-back! :D

It's my zen-at-home-after-a-trip day today and all i'm feeling right now is severe withdrawal symptoms from my holiday! I got an e-mail informing me there's discounts on flight tickets to TOKYO end of this year, Jon says we can do Tokyo next year whee! And i'm trying to talk Wen and Ting (WHERE ARE YOUUUUU?) to head to London with me early next year! :D *drooling* (Y'know a sign of withdrawal hehehehe!)

I had a fantasticcccccc time in Gold Coast and Brisbane! I was expecting alot of sunshine and beaches so i packed alot of sheer naked clothes only to find that the weather now is no different from Sydney (if not colder as we lived near the beach) so i was basically electric-dancing through the whole trip to generate heat wtf! I now dubbed Gold Coast and Brisbane 'Cold Coast' and 'Freezebane' WTF!

Our timing there wasn't exactly great as well, as it was raining for one sec and sunny the next! I swear the weather there is a close contender to my mood swings wtf!

At Surfers Paradise, only a minute walk from our errmm 'apartment'! I found this 'decent' apartment near The Esplanade with decent reviews and it was pretty cheap but i should know better! The ONLY consoling part to the 'apartment' was our view of the beach, the apartment looked as though it came straight from the 1950s, we had no basic necessities like soap and toilet rolls wtf and we were told we had to clean the room before we leave! T_T With the money we spent on all the extras that they did not provide, we could have stayed at a very decent hotel, perhaps without the view! *kena con max*

The ultimate point of the whole trip is so that Jing can head to Movie World and take a picture with every single cartoon character (My first time!) and fml max, the closest i got is with these stuff toys! T_T Jon tried to cheer me up by getting me a Scooby Doo plushie YAY! :D

In my Azorias skirt and a walrus WTF!

Thank youuuuuuuu everyone for your suggestions in my previous (x don't know how many) post:

Movie World, Seaworld, Wet 'n Wild - CHECK
Surfer's Paradise, Broadbeach, Main Beach - CHECK
Moo Moo, Gold Coast - CHECK
Harbourtown - CHECK
Palazzo Versace - CHECK
Hazel Tea Shop - CHECK
Beastie Burgers - CHECK

I think i made full use of my 4.5 days there, eating non-stop that is (Typical Asian traveling style :P)! *rubs belly*

BLOG MORE SOON! :D

Photostrip

2011-08-21T18:59:00.000+08:00

Since i have nothing better to say, i shall just post a photostrip here of ME! :D (I'm such a camwhore! *shameless*)

Pictures were taken at one my favourite burger joint: Grill'd! Apparently they serve deep fried Mars Bar (SINFUL!!!) but Jon refused to try it because he claims that he would like to avoid clotting his artery so early in life wtf, damn drama king wtf!

Comingggg back sooooon! :)))

Rara

2011-08-20T19:27:00.000+08:00

I stumbled upon some really sad news that day! :(

I got to know of Rara through the good ol' Purplemascara/STKL days (For those of you who do not know, Purplemascara used to be a shopping forum for everyone interested in shopping/fashion, similar to a Malaysian Purse Form dedicated to shopping!) and perhaps have liaise with her through Velvet Ribbon in the past!

One morning, i saw some of my friends dropping encouraging messages to this page and out of curiosity, i clicked on the page and was greeted with immense shock. One year ago, an asthma attack deprived oxygen supply to Rara's brain and now she can neither talk, eat or walk! Happening to an otherwise health 23 year-old, i'm sure everyone is in shock! The hospital bills are putting a strain on her family and it would be really great if you could lend a helping hand to Rara & her family! (Click on the FB link for more details!)

Maybe instead of that pretty dress you saw yesterday who will be just another dress once you buy it, why not help change someone's life? :) I was very tempted with ASOS's extra 10% offer but i have decided that instead of getting 8 dresses i do not need, i'm going to give Rara and her family hope! :) If you cannot afford monetary donations, at least spare a minute to say a prayer for her! :)

It really put things into perspective to think that it can happen to anyone, it could happen to you, me or one of our loved ones! So everyone, live healthy, be thankful and live everyday as though it was your last!

And the Answer is..

2011-08-19T12:26:00.000+08:00

I was looking for some pictures that and i stumbled upon this lone picture, not in any particular folder! Then i realized i really really miss my pretty long curls!

This picture might do my curls a little more justice:

I thought i looked reallyyyy good with long big curls though that was also the most unhealthy stage of my hair, as i use a 200 degrees curler on my hair EVERY SINGLE day! My hair was dry, brown and even smelt burnt on days i decide not to curl it! It was impossible to comb through the curls, leaving the ends all knotted up! Very very bad!

I haven't considered curling it after that fiasco but damnnnn i looked so good, i'm tempted to curl my hair again! T_T

How now brown cow? T_T

***

Do you remember this post sometime ago? :)

Most of you got right, so clever! T_T

I haven't had the chance to use the bag as whenever i want to bring it out to play, it will start raining and from what i heard, light coloured Balenciaga + rain = NONO! :(

Doraemon

2011-08-18T09:09:00.002+08:00

I'm so nice *self-praise*, i have a gabazillion things to do Ie. housewife-y chores like ironing (I told Jon his shirt may or may not be more wrinkly than before wtf), cooking, packing (I'm still one outfit short, at the rate i'm going, i might have to consider going naked WTF), booking theme part tickets AND i'm still here blogging! :D *hardworkig* I think i will have no internet access in Gold Coast but i don't want to abandon VW so there's a whole lot of scheduled posts lined up! :) I will still be tweeting abt my trip though so follow me on Twitter k! :D

***

Donkey years ago, we decided to go for afternoon tea right before i fly back to Sydney (Must make use of every second when i'm home, even if it's the day i'm flying off! *gung-ho*)! I really wanted to try out high-tea at the Ritz-Carlton (I heard it's one of the best in Malaysia, anyone?) but they were fully booked, and honestly i can't be fussed to go all the way to KL when i have a flight to catch in a few hours time so we decided to keep it close by, First World Hotel it is!

Teeny in an Azorias cape top! :)

I found it really annoying that they had a smoking area, smoke kept billowing to the non-smoking area! -_- Not to mention the nice glassy windows are dedicated to smokers! If you look closely, you can see a cigarette in that dude's mouth! -_-

The plot thickens when tea was served, i found RITZ biscuits replacing the usual biscotti served with coffee/tea! -___- Don't get me wrong, i love Ritz biscuits (Super nyums if you spread Nutella/honey/kaya over them! :D) but you certainly expect a wee bit more from a 4/5 star hotel? Ting super cannot get over this hahaha!

They served two types of high-tea: Japanese and traditional! We chose to have one of each, we though the Japanese was pretty interesting, with an array of sushi and sashimi! They even had dorayaki (sp?), apparently some red bean bun Doraemon eats WTF, i love red bean paste (not the beans wtf, yes i am that person opposite you who leaves out all the beans in my ais kacang/cendol wtf) but there was a boxy taste to the dorayaki, as though it has been kept in a box all month!

I have to give it to them though, the sandwiches for the traditional high-tea was pretty good, with different selection of buns and breads! :)

From the picture, it looks as though they served us scones with whipped cream! O.O

To be honest, i didn't enjoy my experience there and i would say for the price you pay at First World, you're better off having your afternoon tea at Delicious or even Shangri-La!

P/s: I'M IN GOLD COAST NOW WHEE-HEE! :D

Speak to the Hormones

2011-08-16T20:47:00.003+08:00

I think it's my time of the month again, because according to Jon he will be spending time with TWO roller-coasters in Gold Coast this weekend (Ahem, just in case if you don't get it, the other one involves emotions wtf!) and random cravings start cropping out!

And just a very random thought, whenever i get severe period cramps, i always pretend that i am in labour WTF, AM I THE ONLY ONE? T_T *feels abit left out*

So if i get on your nerve this week, it's the hormones speaking, not me! :P

Because you probably do not want to see my angry face now, i will show u a pic of my pretty then-new-now-old shoes! :))) Creates a hell lot of nice though when i walk, Jon said i am like those little girl with tinkly ankle bands! T_T

I still cannot get over my previous blog post, why you all have no reaction, i giggled to myself non-stop when i was typing it! I was joking with Wen saying that if we lived in HK/Hollywood, people will start speculating we went through plastic surgery! PLEASE do not tell me no difference FML!

Just out of curiosity, would you guys still read my blog if i still look like this, let's say with all current humour intact!
Cos i won't wtf!

The Curse of the Hoe Sisters

2011-08-15T20:06:00.004+08:00

I happily popped into Wen's blog this afternoon and got the shocked of my life:

First, i was greeted with this uber cute picture of myself! *self-praise* Wen looked unusually nice here wtf, but when Wen was younger, everyone in the family secretly thought she was really ugly wtf with the exception of my mummy (who was blinded with love fhl) and Teeny was known as the super pretty one so i was always just in between, neither too cute or too ugly, never got quite enough attention! *cue violin wtf* But after seeing this picture, quite cuteee whattttttt!!!

Then i scrolled down Wen's blog and saw this:

OMGGGGGGG YOU WIN WTF!!!!!!

All the Hoe sisters are cursed in a way that once puberty hits, bad skin and bebola figure ensues, you have no idea how bad i got teased when i was in high school! T_T I remember a bunch of guys asked if my dad sells pig, cos all of us are so fat! T_____T I was so hurt and upset then, i did not dare to tell anyone out of shame! T______T

Part of my dark age, there are some darker ones (LITERALLY FML!) but since i'm in Aussie, the most accessible one will be my identification card!

Thank God somewhere down the road, i know look like this! T_T

And i was in the longest period of shocked when i saw Ting!!!!!!! O.O

WE'VE ALL COME A LOOOONGGGGGGGG WAYYY!!!!!!
