Happy 9th Anniversary! (very late entries)

Finally, got the chance to update our anniversary. Sighhhhhhh, recently I have been working like non-stop and today is the only day I`m off.

Still I felt really exhausted and today I slept through I almost skip my lunch. I was slept till 1.30pm. >.<''


okay,.. on our 14 Oct is very special day and very meaningful for us. Quite unbelievable if think again, we have been 9 years!


To be honest, Sometime I think myself not a very good as partner because I`m not very thoughtful person as I`m used to be. I guess year by year I`m getting lazy and more selfish to do my own things or even spent more time with friend compare to Ray. >.<'


So, on our anniversary day, I purposed asked my boss I NEED DAY off on that day not matter what happened! and it 2 weeks notices in advance. This year my gifts for Ray is "special treatment" as slaves, no..! no!! no!! as >>

~* Full time housewife - TOP CHEF *~

Since we moved to new places and with my job. I really dont have much time do grocery shopping and spend time cooking at home. Most of time we takeaway or neither one of us have to eat alone because we both have very different work routine.

It was bloody early in morning. I wakeup and prepared "ai sin chou cha"




Lovely Breaky.

I`m make toast with "I Love You" , fried bacons, grilled tomato and cooked Scrambled eggs with added parsley leaf. :D




and of course spent time together eating the breakfast and Ray will get ready to work.

I wonder did he felt "touched"???


After the breakfast is time to clean up the MESS!!!! >.<' and prepared romantic dinner. Since Ray will be home @ 6.30pm. ahhahah another surprised!






Marinated my small potato with parsley, onion, salf, pepper, cheese and mix herbal




time to cooked them.



I marinated the for whole night with wine, BBQ sauce, salt, pepper and soy sauce.




Dinner for TWO



Pepper Steak - baked potato and with ray favourite Caesar salad.





and......... of course with our favorite wine! Brown Brothers - Zibibbo Rosa. Same as the one on my birthday dinner.

Well,............ still more!

I `m prepared supper!!!! too.



Ray really love Gyoza! so, I make a lot for him and he can eat in next morning or even bring some to work. :D

you know, it really expensive to bought it from outside!

ONE Gyoza cost AUS$1.10!!!!!

I rather just make it by myself which save more money but very time consuming.



yummy.....Gyoza!

The ingredient >> chicken mince, onion, Chinese mushroom, parsley, spring onion, salt, sesame oil, wine and dried shrimps.

Thanks god! everything turn good because I`m was worry because I have been really lonnnnnnnnnng time dont cook!

Please dont steal my photographs!



Isnt this place is soooooo B.E.A.Utiful~~~





I cannot "tahan" wanna take like million photos with all those beautiful flowers!!!! XD





Awwwww.. next photos!




The moment I saw it, I was like super duper XXCited!!!!! soooooooo many tulips!!!






ARRRRRRRRR......... they all sooooooooo beautiful.



However, it was raining day. >.<' You can tell just by looking at the flowers.


Victoria had really crazy weather. Sometime in a day you can experienced 4 seasons!!! (winter, autumn, spring, & summer)




That day it wasnt just raining but a few hours it was really sunny and all the sudden has hail!!! Gosh what a day. But, it still wont stop us enjoy Tulip Festival!




It is because too beautiful~~



I cant believe there soooooo many difference kind of Tulip. Just look as above picture is really looks like white rose.




Seriously, I really cant remember the name of every single of them even got name tags on it.





It really make me feel wanna to have own garden so that I can plant all those gorgeous flowers at my backyard (if I have my own property) with cup of tea~~ aww..... how`s nice??


Relax , enjoy and peace of mind~~~~ (laura, now is dreaming again @__o_@")



It was about to raining and the picture turn out dark T_T




The picture above is my favorite but damn! not enough sun expossion. stupid rain.

By the way, the place originally owned by a couples from Holland and they immigrated to Australia. At the beginning they dont really like Melbourne and moved to Sydney but decided come back to Melbourne and found this land which suitable for gardening especially for tulip.



After years by years a lot people coming to they place because amazing field full of tulips! Since then, they started had entry fees and all the money they make will donated to RED CROSS. (god blessed them!)



Now, the actual owner is one of their younger son & his wife to maintain the fields. Also, received award tourist for 2005 if not mistakes. I think the best time to visit is on weekend because it got more events such as foods & wine festival. However, we not free on weekend and only Tuesday have some day off.




next try Holland foods!




We ordered Dutch poffertjes with Chocolate topping & Special Gourmet Sausage.




Dutch poffertjes! yummmY! they freshly cooked in front of customers





It taste similar to donuts but it not oily because they are not deep fried. I can eat 2 plates of that!





OMGGGG,..I gotto tell you guys must order this Gourmet Sausages with Special Sauce!!

I cant believe it was like "heaven" what a great taste with combination of onion + curry + Sweet Mayo + ketchup


okay,...after fill up the stomach. Time for souvenir.




Dutch Wooden Shoes

A bit disappointed, because we couldn't find a suitable souvenir we can buy. We were looking for a fridge magnet with their signature tulip field so that we can stick on our travel collection.

I should write a feedback or suggestion to them. :D




Yaaaaaaaaaaa is sunny!!! how`s gorgeous they are!!!




If we come early to the festival, it even more flowers!




need to walk all the way back to front.




Aww,...cant have enough pictures of myself with Tulips! ehheeheh





But, we need some sacrifices,.............because of raining all the ground are wet! So, let`s get dirty! I`m means our foots.



Difference angle to took the photos. If would be great if we got DRSL camera! sighhhhhh,...dont really wanna recall sad memory ( got stolen ....@$#$#%$%$^%&^%!!!!!!!!!)
