Fish & Chips n Moi Pizza

Simply Aussie culture... every friday will be a fish and chips day.. well aside from the early afternoon beer drinking session at work.. but we decided to get abit adventurous, got our hands dirty and made our own pizza... any flavour u wish for, any toppings u wan.. ( or things u just hate on pizzas like anchovies.. yuk!) .. whichever way you wan it. we just got hooked.. and it beame pizza night every friday now..

Lip smacking garlic bread straight off the bbq... bread, butter and garlic combi.. just dvivne..


Laying out all the ingredients for DIY pizza making... onions, pineapples, hams, bacons, capsicums, tomatoes, of coz CHHhheeezze... olives, pizza sauce, chilli.... dream it up!

My first try at being a pizza sous chef

Straight off the bbq... ohhhhh.. looks so gooood! just like in the shops!

2nd round of flavours.... we were totally stuffed that night..... Yum!

Morning Warmth...

Up here... we have one of the most stunning sunrise views...... warm orange lights just blaze across the skies... absolutely breathtaking ... that will set me off in dreamland mode for a few secs b4 reality hits me and i stumble to the carpark for another day of work... bleahh..

Heard the other night that there was a sky episode that only comes round every 30 yrs.. its a moon with 2 stars above it.. making it like a smiling face in the night sky... din manage to see it though....

Perk me Up!

i have been super duper unbelievably slack... lazy bones just invaded through me... been really busy at work and back in spore too.... alrite.. i'm jus slack.. :P

Strolling leisurely down the trendy streets of Perth.....some english pubby signs for lunchie caught my eye...


haa.. love this jesty slogan hanging outside a pub cafe in Perth...



Defintely my MUST HAVE when i fly through Perth... deary Mic recommended it to me.. and for sure i have been fully addicted ever since... its similar to icekachang.. but the ice has been flavoured with milk and fruits * u get ur pick fr mangos, choco, strawberries.. ohhh the list goes on!! * and its ohhhh so soft n gentle... just like snow n cotton candy !! melts in ur mouth.... i'm a big undying fan of strawberry flavour!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh YUM!! Simply Heaven...!

It was a cool crisp night. Tagged along to his canoepolo training at UQ pool.
This was the 2nd time I’ve seen him in action in Australia. First time was bout 5 yrs ago in brissy too, for the World championships, where they got defeated badly. Not bad for a first stint.. as they beat the Americans HA!

Warming up with some throwing, paddling exercises.
“PHEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!” game starts! Some fast action packed, bulldozing through the pool for the ball!
One of the nerve wrecking part of the game is when the opponent tries to wrangle and ram the guy to make him lose his grip.
Everyone’s watching the ball….holding their breath for a goal….
His passion…

Indulgence In Air

One of the best possible stuff that can happen when flying (besides taking off and landing safely of coz) is when you have been upgraded to business class with compliments. That is a real bonus!

1) You get a roomy big seat for your poor bum.. no more squishy squashy in economy’s puny seats,

2) No elbow wrestling with your neighbour over who gets the armrest,

3) No more cursing your worst possible luck when a humongous and sweaty guy with overworked odour pores sits next to you.

4) No more throwing stare daggers at the guy in front of you in full recline of his seat, killing your vision with the tv screen just barely inches from your face.

5) No more ringing the service bell a few times, asking for water a few times and still NOT get it.

6) no more going “OH $%&*#!” when you knife/fork drops to the floor. For those who experienced it b4, there’s absolutely no way you can bend over and pick it up without hitting someone, crashing your food tray or spilling your drinks. Some people resort to taking their shoes off, using their toes to pinch n wiggle the fork up.. *EWwwwwwwwww* I know haa.. No…that’s not ME! I jus miserably stick with my surviving utensils til the ever so busy air stewardess has time to entertain us poor passengers.

AHhhhhhhhhh….. the pleasures of business class… haha.. I’m turning into a snob!
You get four special buttons to customise your seat anyway you like… with absolutely no complains from your inflight neighbours.
You get addressed by your surname
You get immediate response
You get papers to read.
You get a serve of drink before take off.
You get freeflow boozeBest of all you get real cutlery, real plates and bowls, real glass. No more plastic and baby sized stuff.
Me and my trusty mp4 player… keeps me entertained when there’s nothing interesting on.
Btw I was served teriyaki grilled salmon with rice. Yum

Life's Little Things makes u Smile...

One of the big perks of working here is.... u dun have to do your own room haha... i've got housekeeping twice a week....toilets showers are cleaned, beds made, floors clean... rest of the time.. my bed is jus a messy pile .... theory is... its gonna be messy at night again rite? soooo wats the point.... even though i noe its a horrible habit to cultivate.. but hey.. there's no one else in my rm other than me.... y bother? AND... there's absolutely no naggin fr mum!! hahaaa..

anyway usually the cleaner will display out the towels n bathmats "hotel like" style.. with some fancy shaped designs.... u get free soap too.... but snobby me use my own brand of showerfoam haa.. hey its called skin care!

and so i had a huge smile on my face when i opened the door and this greeted me! a flower made fr towels!! i was really impressed... coz i probably wldn't have tot of that!.. creative juices flowing ehh...
Another one that jus made me beam... too cute... that's my sleeping partner... doggie-hippo baby wanabe with the tv remote nicely positioned... jus love it! defintely made my day after a super long day at work!

One of my fav spots…. Byron Bay… jus amazingly blue skies, sparkling turquoise sea with crystal capped waves… also a surfer’s paradise spot… known for the breaking waves..
Its the most easternly point in Australia… and also famous for its breathtaking sunrise … gd spot for whale and dolphin watching!
Mother Nature’s playfulness just drives me nuts sometimes… while trying to get a nice shot, the billowing winds whipped my hair all over my face…arggghhh… I look like a wild Medusa with sunnies
Finally managed to get some nice posey shots with the wind blowing right and some commendable photography skills…. Jus love this place! Haa.. feel like I’m on a fashion photo shoot
Here’s the famous Byron Bay lighthouse…ciao!

Sweet Strawberry Harvest

Its Strawberry season!! love it...love it.... love it!... big juicy deep red strawberries with honey...perfect match in heaven....would have loved to go strawberry picking!

got myself 2 punetts at $1.99 each.. great bargain... munched them dwn with honey in no tim

Most of you would probably know I’m quite a camera crazy gal. I had only an old Nikon film SLR fr my dad and that jus simply didn’t cut it.. tink of all the film developing costs! I rem buying my first DSLR back in Nov 04 when I attended a basic photography course. Shockingly its been already 4 yrs! Still rem I bargained and negotiated with my dad and managed to get him to pay half for the cam… haa.. citing that he would get priority usage of it… but I was the one who used it like 99% of the time.

I went through a phase where everything was about photography. I would go to fashion shots, marathons, parks, weddings, courses.. goes on n on.. I even managed to ace a spot on a wedding shoot in Melboune with a reknown wedding photographer. That was definitely a great learning curve! Really thanked him for giving a chance

but since I’ve started working up here.. its simply to difficult sometimes. So this passion of mine kinda got waylaid and buried till I’m on R&R or on hols… I still love it heaps though.. I suppose it will be something that stays with me for life …u can never say no to a good shot right ..

Some spring blossoms shots that I’ve taken on my time off… really beautiful and stunning flowers… jus make u wish it spring every time eh. Hope u like e shots as much as I did.
Jus love the tiny flowers bursting open here… the colours are simply amazing.
Some close up shots of the variety of flowers in bloom!…. Wishing I had a macro lens then!
Abstract shots of a huge tree with spreading roots, “life n death” shot of fresh spring weeds with brown leaves of last season and a curious grisly gecko suntanning while trying to read the sign

HAPPY F1 PRIX!!

FINALLY!! its the long awaited, biggest ever event for the whole year!! First city night racing in the world! right in singapore!! wow! tink flashy mean machines, droolicious speedy hunks and sexy babes... zooom zoooom ZOOOM!

Foodies Paradise

Yep… that’s right! I’ve been to foodies paradise….sluuuurrrrpp! *big lick smack on lips*… I’m a glutton.. oh boy.. and I am a very satisfied glutton! But glad I had someone to share gluttony with me HA! How good is that….

Viet food at Hawken… always reminds me of the good old uni days…*for brissy frens.. yep that shop is still the same! Looks the same! Except utensils n bowls have changed and prices up a bit*
Hot pipping Viet beef soup with rice noodles and finger lickin salt & pepper wings… was v tempted to get the Porkchop rice as well.. oh greedy me…. but simply couldn’t stuff in more

Hanachi.. another one of my bestie fav. Famous for being yummy, cheap and fast. They have a new branch in Indooroo now… was torn between chicken katsu curry and yakiniku.. haa.. finally decided on beef yakiniku… yum! Yum! Yum! Still reckon the branch at city taste better though…
A place where all students would know of for sure… Three Monkeys at West End. Great hangout place for coffee n cakes and usually pretty crowded. Love the atmosphere there… dim lighting with a tropical sorta feel with a mix mesh of asian resort furnitures…..That night there was a big group of musicians jus chilling out… and they started playing their percussions.. with drums, bells and wat have u…. relaxing sounds of Egyptian Asian influenced sorta music… with strong percussion beats drumming through…it was jus a great time.

Indulged in a chilled mocha topped with sinful white fluffy whip cream and a thin crusted pizza topped with perfectly orchestrated ingredients
Wah Korean restaurant at city was busy busy busy. Fully packed. Popular place for Asians, especially students. Managed to ace a spot and started ogling n pawing over the menu. Decisions decisions…. Hmmmm….

Settled on a hot n spicy beef stew soup and wats-that-called- claypot rice topped with beef slices and Korean stuff.. was definitely all smiles when the food arrived!

Shucks I’m out of food… hmmmmm…. wat else is there to eat?? Humph!



Warning: all these food wasn’t finished in day.. that’s wild food bingeing…I’m not that crazy (trying hard to see toes over tummy) It was simply 10 course meals taken over several days J *pat happy tummy*

China Scare...

Its scary wat the world is coming to. After the huge China milk scare… u’d probably never treat food labelled *made in China* the same again. U’d tink twice, thrice and read hard, doubly hard. Though this is not the first scare and recall, happened before to China imported products like fishes, prawns, children toys… u name it. But this is probably the first where so many China children are affected as well… Its chilling how unscrupulous humans can get jus to earn the extra profit and more so frightening as they inflict harm on their own people as well. As we all know and learned by now…Money is easily the root of all evil.

Sadly even my fav childhood sweet “white rabbit” is being recalled!! .. bugger…

To ALL Mummies! Pls pls pls double check the milk formula u getting for ur prince n princess!!
