~My Life~ Happiness & Joy Vs Sadness & Sorrow

Back In Melbourne.

Here I am, in Melbourne, a place which I love so much and yet hate so much.

I actually arrived Melbourne yesterday night, but was busy unpacking my stuff (fine, I admit that I didnt really unpack the things but ended up cleaning my drawer here which is filled with receipts!), so didnt have time to blog... LOL~~~

My aunt had a dinner to attend, thus I have to catch a taxi home. It cost me $46.90!!! Very 'sam tung' but what to do? I so miss my beloved country where things are so cheap and I can spend like mad using RM and I seriously hate AUD, seriously...

Btw the flight was a bit bad as always. I dislike long distance flight, especially in economy class! VIP express buses provide better journey instead with the large space. The spaces in the plane are so limited and the damn guy sitting in front of me was reclining his seat as if he owns the plane!!! Pls be more considerate la plp... And I think airliners should consider to adjust the maximum limit that a seat in economy class can recline! I was so uncomfortable during the whole journey with him reclining his seat to the max all the time except during meal time when he was required to put the seat upright.

I watch like 2 and 1/2 movies, didnt managed to finish Dreamgirls, which is the best movie among those that I watched. Casino Royale was a bit boring for me, dont know why, I just dont have the satisfaction after watching it. The Banquet was typical Chinese movie designed to win awards. Pls forgive me for being skeptical but this is what I think la, it's not my cup of tea. I suppose I had some kind of bad luck recently when it comes to movie. During CNY, we watched The Epic Movie, Norbit & Eragon which others commented are nice, but I just dont feel the same way as they did, neither Eric, Dan Qin and Yu-Yang did. So dissapointed I tell you...

One more thing, I think MAS had improved on their food. The Nasi Lemak with Spicy Squid was not bad to my standard. I chossen Nasi Lemak over Omelette as I think Nasi Lemak is more expensive in Melbourne and I have little chance to eat it. :p I am kiasu!!! But not a bad choice after all...

Today, went yumcha with May, Hisa, John, Qi Lun, Zhong Yong & Yu Sak in Shark Fin House. Somehow or rather I still prefer the dimsum in Ming Court, Ipoh, the Har Kau & Siu Mai in Ming Court are definitely better. Anyway, they have the best pau ever, Lau Sau Pau, which is sweet bun filled with egg york, butter, and sugar. So nice le... I dont think can find that in Malaysia.

Then, went to Hisa house and chill til dinner time. Had our dinner at the new Dessert House along Swanston Street. The House Special Pork Chop was not bad and I think it actually taste weird, probably it a bit too sweet for me.

One more thing I wanna rant about is Melbourne Uni server, so shit k. I cant log in SIS the whole day and I wanna change my timetable. It is so not to my liking. I had 1 hour each on Monday and Friday, 4 hours in Tuesday, and 5 hours in Thursday. So uneven la the time... I wanna shift some to Monday or Friday, but cannot because majority of my classes are on Tues and Thurs. Whose fault???

Uni starting tommorow and I am so not used to it yet. I miss home so much and I wish I can go back Malaysia at any time I like to...

Valentine's Blues

I got so so many things that I wanna blog about but dont know which one to start on, so I decided that I should blog about my Valentine's Day 1st.

Dont get me wrong! I got no dates and just stayed home the whole day, chilling alone. Brother went out for his date and there's nobody around to irritate/kacau me.

I wanna get rid of the tuna which had sitted in the fridge for more than 1 week, so we made tuna sandwich for breakfast. Eric wanna have Mushroom Soup too, so being a good sister I am, I went on cook it, end up I cooked out one miserable pot of mushroom soup despite it is so easy to prepare (I'm using campbell can soup k...)

Mushroom soup never tasted so bad before, thanks to HL milk. I never knew that HL milk is so bad until it spoilt my pot of soup. In case you guys are wondering out there, what is to do with Campbell soup & HL milk, well I used milk to cook mushroom soup. My previous attempt to cook mushroom soup with milk, turned out quite good, even Eric commented that they are good. But this time, I'll blamed it on HL milk, its milky smell is so strong that it made the soup undrinkable. Seriously, Eric, Mummy and me thinks that, even my kakak, ie my house domestic helper said it's bad.

Damn la...wasted my effort & the can of Campbell soup & the money for the Campbell soup, gas, water, dishwash and whatever... And now I dont know what to do with the HL milk left in the fridge, I dont drink milk, and there's no much people in my home that drink either. At first I planned to use it for my butter cake, but now I scare that it might spoilt the cake. Haih...so the lesson behind this story is never substitute brands because of the pricing. I bought HL milk instead of the Australian one, because it's way cheaper but now I regret.

Luckily, the instant noodlee I bought from Betong saved my day. I'm not sure whether it's tom yam or other flavour as it dont really tasted like tom yam. Nevertheless, its spicy soup added so much omph man... Maybe I'll blog about it one time, maybe...

Yup... Mummy kept on nagging me on things like tidying up my stuff, packing my lugages, etc etc... Very fan la...

I feel like stopping the time now, really, wonder why time past so fast wihout me realising...
