The land down under - Melbourne

We had a 9.30am flight via Jetstar to Melbourne. Travelling in Australia means half an hour to almost anywhere! Places are all so far away!

I was so tired I practically slept through the entire flight. I closed my eyes and the next thing I know, we were landing.

At Melbourne, we crashed at my dad's friend's place in Chadstone. Rested for awhile and then we took a drive to Phillip Island. Driving along the highways was pretty! All you see is endless grasslands till the horizon. We didn't have much time left for the day. So we just stopped by anything that was on the way.


First stop was Warrook Farm. In Australia, EVERYTHING closes insanely early. We were there at about 3pm and they were already closing up but we managed to get in and saw some Wombats. They are like huge and fat hamsters! Fed some Kangaroos too! You are not said to have been to Australia if you did not see a Kangaroo. One little one named Nora Jane was following us from one end of the farm to the other. She was so cute I almost died. Even after we came out of the fencing she was following us on the other side... =D


We hit the road once again till we came about a winery. It wasn't grape season so there wasn't much to see. Fortunately the winery we stopped at has an amazing background of the ocean.

Finally we arrived at Phillip Island. Went to see some Koalas. Another thing that cannot be missed in Australia. Couldn't touch the real one. So this was my substitute!


Next was The Nobbies. Oh My God. The scenery there was breathtaking. The landscape was amazing! We were there around sunset. So it was just beautiful! Seagulls make their nest there. There were everywhere and I was so afraid that they would shit on me...


At last, the main attraction of Phillip Island. We were there early and so we sat and waited. It was freezing cold! Damn! We waited and waited till we saw little tuxedos coming up the shore. We saw them up close when they were entering their burrows too! Priceless experience. Wait actually it was about A$20.

Then it was a gruesome drive back to town. Looking out the window to the clear Australian sky you could see every single star in the universe. Its even prettier than Edward Cullen's sparkling body in the sun. Now THAT's priceless...

We were rather hungry on the journey back since we didn't have any dinner. At 10.30pm it was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find food in Australia other than fast food.

The next day. Sovereign Hill.

A place where gold was found. I'm not going to walk through everything but maybe just the most memorable thing.


Holding a 3kg solid gold bar worth A$135,000! Damn it was heavy. Apparently he was not allowed to let us hold the bar but my Uncle Sam bought a gold nugget from the store and talked his way to letting us take a picture.

That night we went to The Crown. Wandered around the casino. Seriously, what is with the casinos? Actually we wanted to walk around town at night but it was raining. Thus we got stuck indoors

The following day in Australia we went to Dandenong to see some pretty birdies up close.


One of the sonofabitch bit me! It was like obviously painful. Another tried to steal my packet of seeds and ended up clawing my hand. Such nice souvenirs from them.

That was in the morning and afternoon. In the evening, we took a train from Holmesglen all the way to Flinders where my mom was going to meet up with her friend and I was with Kah Mun.

It was so much fun hanging out with a friend there taking random pictures and walking all over town! Yes, walking. Try doing that in KL...

Final travel was The Great Ocean Drive. It was a long drive so we only went halfway and stopped at Lorne. Scenery? SPECTACULAR. Endless view of the coastal lines. White sandy beaches and baby abalones. Unforgettable.


That night we went for dinner at Sofia. Food portion is bloody hell damn huge! Its like HUGE huge. Carbonara was like heaven on earth~

That's about it for our trip. The final day was to Victoria Market getting some fridge magnets for my sister and we had some Mexican food.

Then it was the plane back to Malaysia. The plane ride was horrible! The weather was terrible and it caused a lot of movement and I was dying! I could still feel the movement of the plane when I was at home with my feet in the ground and my ass on the chair.

Nevertheless, it was an AWESOME journey. I had a blast and I can't wait to go back again. This time with a different bunch of peeps.

Toodles~

The land down under - Sydney

The title somehow made it sound wrong and I think I just made it sound wrong when I said it sounded wrong.

We left to KLIA on the 21st October 2010 at 6.30pm for a 10pm flight. Hoped onto MAS flight MH123 on our way to Sydney Australia for a wedding and holiday. It was a extremely uncomfortable 8 hour journey on the plane but when we were about 3 hours from our destination, I saw the sunrise on the plane...

It was memorable since I haven't been on a plane in ages and seeing the night and day in the same sky was awesome.

We arrived there in the morning about 9.30. Relatives from there picked us up from the airport and dropped us at our motel.

After settling down, they came to pick us up for lunch (Chinese) and a rehearsal. Drove all the way to town and at the same time managed to visit Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanical Gardens.

After that we went to have dinner (Western) with the groom, Greg's family, the bride, Fiona and also a few of their friends. Of course us included as well. The food was scrumptious and HUGE! My mom's T-bone steak was as big as my face! I forgot to take pictures though....

The next day was a beautiful cloudless sky.


We went to my relative's place for breakfast. Planned what to do for the day and decided to go to the place where Captain Cook discovered Australia. Oh, the house was actually under renovation. Managed to feast my eyes on some hot topless dudes... =P

Scenery is priceless, Cape Solander I mean. It looks sooo much better in real life compared to pictures. We didn't do much there. Mostly just taking in the beautiful scenery and perfect weather.

Wandered around the place the entire day visiting other points that pictures can be seen from Facebook. Duh...

Towards the evening while waiting for dinner (Thai), we walked down the hill that my grandaunt's (I assume she is since she is my dad's aunt) house was at to a river. Another pretty place.


Next day would be The Day. The wedding of Fiona and Greg! I met many other relatives who I have absolutely no idea even existed! Like seriously!


The wedding car was a Vintage Rolls Royce. Fiona looked awesome that day. Apparently she looks like my sister, Jenny only prettier.. Nge nge nge..

The reception was different. It was my first garden themed wedding and the weather was perfect. Not to sunny and not to cold since it rained in the morning. I'm too lazy to type out every single detail about the reception. So I'll just leave a picture.

Dinner was at the other end of the botanical gardens. The place was huge! Thus, there was a train to take some of us there. I managed to get on it while others walked. While waiting to be seated, we were served with champagne and some finger food. Everyone caught up on lost time.

The Pavilion was just the best place to have a wedding dinner. The setting is nice! Every table was themed a location that the couple travelled. Ours was Malaysia.

They have this photo booth that allows you to take photo strips. It prints out 2 sets. One is pasted in am album for the couple and one for our own. I should have taken picture of that picture. I had all the champagne I want that night. =P

Sunday was our final day in Sydney. We wanted to go to Blue Mountains but the weather was just not right. It rained. So we hit the city and walked around buying fridge magnets for my sister. Before that, we went to have lunch! It was a famous place called Zilver which apparently serves one of the best dimsums. Damn it tasted like heaven.

Walked and wandered around to the casino at Star City. Nothing much really.

We were invited to dinner at my Aunt Jesse's place (One of my newly discovered relative). Some family history lectures and fabulous food. Kudos to Aunt Jessie. Special thanks to Aunt Kim for the Salmon Sashimi.

That was it for Sydney. I think I will separate the posts. Its gonna be one hell of a journey.

Floating in the clouds

If you haven't noticed I have been missing for 10 days!

Went to the land of kangaroos and koalas!

Just got off the plane about 3 hours ago. The flight wasn't pleasant at all and I still can feel the turbulence even when my two feet are currently on the ground and my ass on the chair.

Pictures and a crazy long elaborate post will be up tomorrow since I am still in the holiday mood.

For now, BED!

My funny friends...

This was what I stumbled upon at Jia Huey's blog....

Kimmy: Well, she's happy when there's alcohol. Or concerts. Or hot guys.
JH: Or alcohol at concerts by hot guys.
Kimmy: Come to think of it I have never seen her upset. Ever.
JH: Umm. Yeah, actually me neither. ... OMG IS SHE A ROBOT.
Kimmy: SHIT ANDROID. And she's learning [kickboxing]! She's gonna be an effin terminator.
JH: Oh hot damn, she wants to kill Sarah Connor!!!!! D:
Kimmy: D8

Makes me wonder what was said before this...

Something tells me I won't wanna know...

Was laughing my ass off when I read this though. Honoured....

Neghbourhood pricks

Neighbours in Malaysia are such a pain in the ass.

There is currently on-going construction work at my house. That's why I've been complaining about the drillings.

Anyways, the place in front my house is being occupied with bricks and sand. So my mom now has to park her car at the next street.

One day as we were going out, we saw this on our car windscreen...


DUDE! Get your grammar right before you post a note on people's car! And HELLO? Do you even own the freaking roadside? I can park anywhere I want whenever I want! AND open your big blind eyes! Can't you see that there is also no place to park on our street??? You think you are the only one? Who ask you to own so many freaking cars??? HELLO??? Sell off your car THEN you'll have space to park. See? Problemo solved...

My mom will keep parking there and to save him some paper cost, my mom is nice enough to put the note back every time we get home and park the same place.

Respect, mom... Respect...

Dumbass

Its a Monday and usually I have class from 8am till 11am.

I woke up this morning thinking that it was like every other Monday morning that I dread. I reluctantly turned off my alarm and got my ass out of bed and into the toilet. As I was brushing my teeth, my mind was summarising the dream I had......

In my dream, I was suppose to have class at 8am. I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep waking up at 9.47am. I really actually remember the exact numbers I saw on my phone's clock. I still didn't want to go for class but I got out of bed anyway. I was in the toilet brushing my teeth and heard someone talking outside the toilet saying that there is not class..

Then after this dream I had a weird dream(which is normal for me) of a human eating creature that I was apparently keeping as a pet and it takes a form of a human being. It started chowing down people in a competition that I was in... NEVERMIND...

Back to reality. I was brushing my teeth and my brain was remembering the dream I had. The freaky part is that I suddenly remembered that my lecturer did say that there was one Monday where we had no class. With toothpaste still in my mouth, I went to check my timetable and voila! No class. I made my mom double check because these are things that I don't like getting it wrong.

So I am suppose to go back to bed now right? The sad thing is that the construction workers are coming at about 8am to break down the pillar at the porch. I have to open the doors for them and they will continue drilling.

And THAT is the story of how awesome my memory is that it cost me 1 hour of sleep.

B is for Beer

Its October and alcohol enthusiasts will know that there is a festival in Germany known as Octoberfest (Which I intend to go to one day).

In Malaysia, most bars will be selling beer at a cheaper price! Ain't that a good thing! Yes, beer is indeed fattening but its alcohol and it helps improve blood circularisation! It taste good too. Should go for a chugging session with usual gang, eh Kimmy?? 8D

Also,


Read up boys!!

Now I think I am going to die being single forever and have a lot of girls hunting me down. Hahaha!

Some rules are not meant to be broken

Being the health freak that I am, I have diet rules. Not like I restrict what I eat to vegetables like rules for my meals.

1. No eating after 8pm
2. No eating 2 hours before bed (If the above cannot be done)
3. No napping after meals
4. Strictly 3 meals a day (if I have class or get up early)
5. Meals are at least 4 hours in between
6. No sugar or milk in tea or coffee
7. No snacks i.e Junk food (The time i had the mr potato at camp was my first potato chip in 7 months!)
8. Eat lots of fruits (At least 2 servings a day)
9. Drink at least 2 big bottles of water. So I guess its 3 litres?
10. Go to bed slightly hungry, down half a bottle of water then bed. Wake up, finish the other half bottle of water...

My 10 rules and I really follow them like as much as possible. But lately I have been breaking rule No.4. I've been eating a lot of crap in between meals! Tonight was worse!I broke all of them! Except No. 6 which I never break. I never put sugar or milk unless I order something from Starbucks or something.

But today, tonight, I went to have supper! Like oh my GAWD! I was literally freezing in classroom 3.1 for the "special" (my ass) PT. Like teeth-clattering freezing! I got sooo hungry! I indulged myself in a huge EXTRA spicy bowl of noodles at Face to Face SS15. I am damn freaking full!

Now I am feeling terribly guilty. Like very. I came back drank 3 cups of water and now a cup of green tea to:

1. Help digestion
2. Stay awake so that I don't break No.2 and No.10

I am gonna have as many cups of tea as it takes to stay up. Gosh I feel like I got fat instantly. The guilt is indescribable. Kickboxing tomorrow. Thank me for joining. But I should actually exercise even if I don't have kickboxing...

Ignorance is bliss

I just found out from a friend that there might be a "special" test for those who scored really low for Progress Test 2 OR those who skipped Progress Test 1 and/or 2. This test is supposedly compulsory for these people. If we did not attend this "special" test we will get barred.

I don't really care about getting barred for the exam. Not like Sunway can do anything anyway. I have already paid for my paper. So whether they bar me or not I'm going.

Then my friend told me that Mr. Teo will fly all the way to UK and defer our payment to the next sitting

I was like "What the fucking hell is wrong with these people??! Are they that lifeless??"

Yes, I am bloody pissed off. Why? Because we are the bloody people who paid for the paper and without us Sunway-fucking-TES will not even exist...! You just bar students to save your sorry asses from us potential failures for bringing down the pass rate in Sunway.

Wait till I pass the bloody paper. IN YOUR FACE!!

For now since the admin DID NOT notify me about the test, I am just going to pretend that I have no idea about it. I am mostly never in college.

Even if I do go for the test, I am still going to fail it. How in the world am I suppose to study a whole semester of things within 4 days? COME ON!!! Its so bloody last minute! At least tell us a month beforehand THEN I won't be so pissed!

Since I didn't receive any notification whatsoever, I am going to assume that I don't have to take the test.
