Finally, the day we are waiting for and I really excited about. After go through hard work and put a lot effect and my soul on the job, unexpected outcome happened on me, which same as Raymond too.

It have been a few months we received news regarding Ray will get new position level and finally he deserved get pay rise although it wasn't much, but at least got acknowledged.

As for me, it was my most happier day in my life so far, bcoz I got pay rise twice (very very little lahhh T_T) and the most recently I have been received "Shining Star Awards 2008" under Victoria state. YAHOO!!!.



Today, we went out to Chinese restaurant to celebrated our achievement. We ordered Mud Crab and another mixed vegetables dishes. Cant order more since just two of us. As you can see, it was huge mud giant (@__@)' a.k.a "Ang Moh size crab" LOLOL . It was just ONE crab!!! mannnnnnn,........so full after "sapu" (ate) everything.



After more than a year, this is my 1st time ate crab. -__-'. Ya I know, how ridiculous! although last year I did back to Malaysia, I didnt got chance to eat crabs (T_T) how`s sad. By the way, it was DAMN delicious!!!

Somehow we started thinking our parents. It would be great if they can join us the celebration and share our joy with them. hmmmm~~~~~

So, what exactly happened on me...???? I was on my company Newsletter again!!!! for the March 2008 edition 4. Last week, my manager told me that I was awarded as "Shining Star" for under Victoria state and she so proud of me and told me I deserved that.

My 1st reaction, was shocked and I`m speechless and,..and,...and... without hesitated I`m hugged my manager. YAAAAAAAA!!! my colleagues also congratulated me. I thanked them none stop~~~ Can you imagining how HAPPY I AM"????????


Sorry, there a few thing I need to censored for company privacy.



All the company detail and names had been censored. ;P

Besides that, I cant wait to collect my prize. heheheeh V(^__o_^)V from the management.



It wasn't much just AUS$50 gift voucher, but somehow I prefer cash ehhehheh( okok Shut up!!! dont fussy). But then it was a gift voucher so that means you have to use it. Ray asked me just use it redeem a new dress.

Random

Just some random photos at city from last few week.



Some interesting building.


Bee Bee~~~


I bought it from one of asian grocery store at Melbourne Central. Really missed Malaysian snacks (^_^) but damn expensive. Don't care lahhhhhhhh. >_<'

D.I.Y Haircut

I`m so sick of my current hair which is long & heavy. But, recently I`m quite broke so dont dare to go to my salon to get a haircut done, which usually will cost me AUS$25 just for cut only. So,.....this afternoon I decided to cut my own hair.

It was tough decision. It keep flying into my mind for a few week to cut my hair. I keep promised myself dont step into salon. Mannnnnnnn....>_<' it was tough and at the end I bought a pair hair scissor. I really spend a lot of time for make up my mind and guts to trim my own hair. So,..worse come to worse, otherwise next day will I go to salon get a proper haircut or otherwise cut my hair into short. >___<" This is my 1st time I trimmed my hair and surprisingly it turn into GREAT!!!! Mannnnnnn I`m DAMN proud of myself!!!!! heeheheheheh.




It have been long time since last year - November.

November Hairstyle



At the begining, I was struggled a bit coz I dont know where to start. So, I started to trim my medium to lower level hair.




Keep continued trimming and at that time I wasnt really care the outcome. Just CUT! CUT! CUT! screw that if turn out bad. My mind was keep refresh my memories when how my hairdresser cut my hair.




I trimmed about 3 inches average on my left side and will continue keep trimming till I`m happy with the length. And I start doing on other side (right). The harder part to trim my back hair. My arm and shoulder getting sore which I try to pull my hair up and at the same time keep trimming. :S

I think it took me about 1 hour, and yet still haven't trim my front hair. Cant believe my hair grown so quickly and thick.



It easy part is front hair (^_^). Once done, I continue trim any area that I`m not happy bcoz my hair still look very thick. So, this is the outcome.

Another Sunday

So, it have been a while and I thought..I haven't blogged in freakin ages. Well,....about 1 week and seem I`m getting less active on blogging. So whats been happening? I don't know, exactly. I've been working a lot especially mid week till weekend instead like anyone else (Monday- Friday) and irregularly hours. :S


Which is fine with me because I love flexible! and nice money though. V(^_^)V


I felt a little bit better and less moody properly I got things to keep myself busy and working like "nuts" but it can be really exhausted which I need extra careful with my health and started investing myself.



The only thing I worried is I`m be so crazy and concerned over my weight and shape of my body. I dont know what wrong with ME? Since when like I care how I look (@_@)'?????????????????????????????????, Okok..properly I have been watching Malaysian Dreamgirl Online TV shows at the moment and I`m so envy of them and not more or less people surrounding me.



Plus,....Screw the marketing ads >_<' from the magazines. I just have been so crazy on fashion recently and all are cost $$$. I`m trying to be a good and "Locked" myself!. Praying please turn myself into workaholic rather then spender. The more I work then better I felt and the days can be easily passed just like that ~*snap*~ and you know what??? it felt gooood.... XD. I can felt the satisfaction. Right now I'm listening to very old OST songs (really really old & pretty crap or childish ) ahhahahaah. it feel good to heard and played those songs again & again which they are my favorite OST movies.



I know I`m insane. what time is it now?? Is midnight!!! and I like it coz it was quiet and plugged my headset, turned volume to highest ( A+ for sound effect is more better then speaker) and blogging. Main thing is not one taking over the computer :P. you know???? sometime it just felt good to be alone and blend into "own world". You know what I`m saying??



Okay........ What I had up to today is once I finished work, we went to Oakleigh Festival which exactly the same as Clayton Festival. I dont even bother to take any photography since I`m exhausted and the festival is crap. We just spent.......like....5 Minutes! and it was bloody HOT 40` degrees!!! Really siao~~~ By the time, I got home I ...AAAmen~~ into bed. ~~~~ZZZzzzzZZZzzzzZzZ~~~


I hope my mum is reading my blog now ahahah hope them wont worry about me and why all the sudden "lost in space" (no email~phone calls~MSN chat~)


Anyway,...hope you guys have a good Easter and enjoy the public holidays! so whats the plan???

Boring Sunday Night

Short Note: Today is Labour`s DAy. Mannnnnnnn so bloody hot day & V V V V Very quiet day.

These few days I really felt bored and sick of been living here. I means Australia. On weekend, if you not doing anything it can be really boring life. Because there not much entertainments if compare Malaysia.

We really missed our college life at Kuching. We also hang out with bunch of good friends since we were course mates,
even live under same roof...Aunt Sim
and makan(eat) together... too many places to names it.
movies.....Parkson or Star cineplex
bowling.....at Riverside Parkson
,gym... at BDC
swimimg....at BDC
pasar malam(night market).... at Satok
pirated VCDs/CDs/DVDs..... at Kenyalang, Seberkas
supper...King Centre, 3rd/4th Miles, Hui Sing Garden,...etc
3rd Miles.....most memorable (sad, sour, sweet & bitter)

now,..even got more small & cute cafe with nice interior design & it so cheap eat at Malaysia!!!

okok heheheh you know what I means(^_^) my dear friends at Malaysia!. Really missed you guys out there. (T_T)

When come to night time,.. two words to described my feeling. \(^_O_^)/ "sooooo Siennn". Although I cooked at home everyday, I really sick of it doing the same routine. I was craving SugarBUN!!! the chicken & rice. OMG...

Even wanna go out for dinner sometime it can be really hard bcoz we dont have much choices!!! >_<......... wanna makan pun so hard it. Sick of Asian restaurant which pretty same menu, and even for Fast Food restaurants>>> KFC or McDonald or Hungry JAck is everywhere.

You know what?? Ray & I even search on internet to find out other fast food restaurant in Victoria. OMg... end up we went to Nando`s. SIGHHHHHHHHH...



CLAYTON - The Wareca Building
1866 Princes Hwy
9540 0768



It was really quiet and seem like nobody there. But, felt peaceful and perfect for couples having dinner.


Like the Peri-Peri O-meter.


We ordered "Mixed Platter" ( 5 Chicken Tender, 1/2 Chicken, 5 chicken wings).

After the dinner, I think I will become a vegetarian for a few days. Now I`m felt sick when see chicken even now I`m blogging & uploaded the picture. >_<' Once I got home, I make veg+fruit juices to "clean" our body and hopefully will "outpoo put" ASAP.

Today before I eat anything, I had very tiny shot of vinegar and drink a lot of heap water. sigh,....how come I felt sinful after ate so much food especially those fattening foods >_<' Shouldn't eat it in the begining, now I have to feel suffer, sinful, regretted and I had a huge pimple on my nose. (T_T) and what I also piss off is... Ray got none and today he has his "output" which felt so good. DAMNIT!!! When is my turn -.-'?????????????

Weirdest Business Name

Last few day, I spotted a very weird business name for selling lighting stuff & lamps. Who and why they name it as "THE BITCH IS BACK" :S.


if you look careful on the glass window , it also got the name on it. Please click on it for larger size.

I was took this photo in car while awaiting at traffic light.

By the way, this is not my first time saw it. And the fact is I did saw it before!!! some where else. But, at that time I didn't bring my camera along.

Imaging if some one ask you.

A: Hey, I like you lamp, where you bought it??

L: From the bitch?

A: -.-''......... who was it??

L: The bitch is back lahhhhhhhhh...

A: wtf...

funny isnt??????N LOL

Starlight Cinema

I just back from city.. phew it was exhausting but I have a lovely day. Once I finish working at city and waited my good friend for dinner at Chinatown. On evening we went to starlight cinema at Yarra Bank which near the Federation Square.



Starlight Cinema means an open air cinema which with big screen and people seated on the grass and you can bring your picnic stuff for snacking will enjoy FREE movie. Yaaaaaaa is free movie. Today we watch the Happy Feet. Unfortunately, it only available for 2 days, which on 7th and 8th. Tomorrow movie will be "Night of A Museum". Both movie more like family movie. I know.. very very old movie. what do you expect?? is Free?? So,.. Melbournian...better hurry.


Perfect for dating place even midnight.

Free Movie : http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au/info.cfm?top=259&pg=2183&cID=100&cpID=671

Currently is Moomba Waterfest for every summer time. The Festival pretty much like fun Fair which got food stalls, Rides, Games, & Shows. It also None Alcohol Event.



It was bit chill tonight but it wasnt that bad which consider really good weather for Melbournian. XD. Well, the movie started at 8.30pm till 10.45pm.



Me & my good friend. (^_^), btw thks for hot chocolate & snacks. :D. While watching movie....we also kepo and checking out other couples "Pakto" who seated in front of us. ahahahahah One thing I learned today,..next time choice the right place especially who the one sit next to you. I felt annoying coz our next people keep smoking and making noises. Mannnnn,...what a displeasure moment. -.-'' Cant watch the movie in peace~~(>_<). And our location also quite near to the rides and games which they played the music really LOUD like concert. wtf....




Anyway.... it was lovely night, the city was crowded although it almost midnight. You know, is Friday night. Everyone started party at bars and drinking like nuts since Happy hours (4pm) -.-' What an aussie life....~~~

So, we done watching movie, we went back to some where Chinatown to takeaway food for supper eheheh and catch the train back to home. I felt bad for Ray coz he had to fetch me from train station in the middle of night. :S

Sigh,......somehow I wish I could live at CBD area and at least when bored can went to Yarra Bank and the shopping centre, shops, cafes & restaurant are close late.

So,...hope you guys have a good weekend.

AAAaamen.....~~

Great Tuesday.

Yesterday, I have a day off and went to Queen Victoria Market to bought entire week grocery. Now my fridge is full with foods. ahhahaha it was really relaxing day and like usual I will cook at home.

Obviously, I got nothing special to blog about besides, cooks. Everytime when I was in good mood, I tend to be really "into" the cooking thing.

Okay really missed the herbal soup since we both working so hard, is time to boost our health.



Like usual I always use chicken bone and this time I added extra lotus seed bcoz, Ray like it so much.



I also cooked some Bean Curd with lean pork and some sweet soy sauce for color and also added some Han Seng Sauce.



Yuuummmmm....it have been ages I havent eat curry Rendang. I was craved it.



Obviously it was day light saving. Cant believe it consider night time. I know....I`m must be crazy cook so much just for 2 people, it nothing special occasion too.



But,..yaaaaa I don't have to cook today since so much food left. LOL

Elwood Beach

Finally, back to blogging. heheheh

Well,..recently have been bored and lack of inspiration to blog. Even I read other blogs seem nothing interesting topic besides, Malaysia Voting season which none of my business :P.

Pretty same routine everyday which is suck and I feel wanna holidays but the economic wasn't that good , petrol prices been rise like crazy which same as interests, even grocery fees I have to pay extra $$$ and need to spent the money wisely. sighhhhhhhhh

OKok..back to topic. On Sunday, I went to Elwood beach. It was warm and sunny day. It also my first time went to Elwood Beach which about 20 minutes drive. It also quite near St. Kilda Beach. (just next to each others).


I spotted something interesting. Unbelievable got Dolphins. (@_@)


Elwood beach is popular of Bayside Trail Bicycle and roller skating or joying which you can enjoy the city view.




CDB View




Walked to top hill. Popular with meeting point or even a dating place. kekeke




A lot of couples here enjoy the beach & city view. I believe at night it would be loving. Especially see the sunset and city night view.




It also got BBQ facility which you can have picnic. I think it is a great place for spend with family or friends.



It wasn't crowded with people. I guess the summer gonna end soon.


While Ray & I walked along the beach, the water was clean and freezing. Gosh...I wonder how people can swim in such as cold water. (@_@)'. While I was playing with water and try to snap a few photos and all the sudden I saw Ray collecting Sea nails.

Waisei..........I was like "since when you like to collect sea nails?????" (~~BiG QUESTIONS MARK~~) LOL


Once he picked the right one and he showed it to me AWW~~~ and of course I said Ray.........dont move! (~~~*I snapped the photo*~~~)


This is my favorite photo! mannnnnnnn...I wanna a puppy too (T_T)


Well,...we only spent 30minutes bcoz we only paid for the parking ticket for 30mins. YEaaap........you are not wrong! even go to beach you need pay for the park fees. It will depend the areas and time for free parking.

As for Elwood Beach you need have to pay if you parking from 6am till midnight. I remember the previous we went to Hampton Beach after 8pm the park is free which near Brighton Beach. It was last minute and once we had dinner, we just went straight to beach. hahah didnt bring camera. (>_<)

Anyway...it was a good weekend. (^_^)
