080607_Melbourne Day 6 (updated)

This is to show how ignorant my boyfriend is.

I was asking him about someone (name shall not be mentioned).

" Have you seen XXX in the past few days? "

" No. "

" Last week? "

" Erm, got. "

" How was her hair? "

" I forgot. HAhahahaahaahaah. "

" JIEEEERRRRRRR!!! "

I won't compare his ignorance with my ability to remember what a particular person wore on a particular occassion or how was his/her hair when we met for as long as a year ago. But A WEEK AGO??? And HAIR? THE MOST PROMINENT PART OF A HUMAN BODY?

I rest my case.

********

Just now Wk went out for a meeting with some important people while I stayed at home and PRACTISED VIOLIN (like finally) and he did some groceries shopping on the way back.

I hopped on him and hugged him once he walked into the apartment and he hurried to the dining table and asked me to see what he has got.

He bought me my favourite cream puff! Puffy's Cookie Puff which is the best cream puff I've ever eaten! (Ok lah the only other cream puff I've eaten before is Papa Beard's Cream Puff or dunno what name lah I can't be bothered, just know it's the one in MidValley at the Lower Ground level)

He introduced it to me last year and I fell in love with it since then.


Just look at the cream oozing out. It's the best part of the whole thing mmmmm

And not only that, he also bought me something new! He bought a new range which is their ice cream puff.


Hmmm the cream puff is still the best but this was not bad.

And then and then! He took out more stuffs from the shopping bag and amazed me further!

I'm a total sucker for Cadbury's Crunchie and Fry's Turkish Delight ok nobody else knows me more than him oh gawd I love this man so much! =D =D

I was so happy I kept smiling like... a happy person! =D =D =D

We chilled for a while before he proceeded to preparing dinner. Yup it was his turn to make dinner tonight! =)


Cooking lamb chop.


Boiling the broccoli.


Checking the lamb.


The love of my life making dinner =)


Boiled broccoli stirred with butter, salt, sugar and pepper. Very nice!


Italian Herbs Lamb chop topped with mushrooms and traditional gravy. Very nice!


Mashed potatoes topped with traditional gravy. Very nice!


Cherry Tomatoes. Very nice!


Dinner tonight! =) Yum yummm I'm serious everything was good.


And we had wine again. And I transformed into Guan Gong once again. I think I'm allergic to this wine =(

As much as I like the fact that he cooked for me tonight, I discovered I'm quite fussy when it comes to cooking. Or maybe it's guys that are too lazy?

For example when he was stirring the broccoli with butter, he used a fork. I told him to use a wooden spoon but he insisted on the fork. Why? " Don't need to wash. "

-____-

The reason why I even suggested using a spoon instead of fork is because the fork stabs and cuts the brocolli into pieces and everything will be a mess. But he insisted on fork so fine lah.

And then when scooping the mashed potatoes onto the platter, he used a fork AGAIN cos previously the fork was used to mash the potatoes and so he conveniently used it to scoop. I told him why not use a spoon and he said, " Lazy lah, don't need wash more. "

-__________-

And this was in the noon when he wanted to cook instant noodles for me. He took out two packets of DIFFERENT FLAVOURED instant noodles and he asked if it's ok to cook both TOGETHER.

*slaps forehead -______________-

Seriously are all guys like that or am I just being too fussy on cooking?

080606_Melbourne Day 5

Today I...

...

...

...

... didn't go shopping as planned yesterday. For reasons you don't need to know but it was all good.

I made pasta for dinner, but it was a bit too salty. It has always been like that, my cooking. Maybe I should go easy on the salt. I don't know why for some weird reasons everytime when I taste the food in the midst of cooking, they taste rather tasteless hence the excess salt added. But once served, they will become too salty. Hrmmmmm. But he loved it so, yeah.


" Wait I pose first! " =D doink.


Bolognaise sauce with chicken and mushrooms, and spaghetti.


Leaves plus a bit of Parmesan cheese shavings, Balsamic vinegar and olive oil.


Pink Lady Apples which was too sour to my liking. I thought it's supposed to be sweet hrmmpph.


I intended to cheat him saying it's wine but he knew it wasn't even before I ask him =( he said he drinks wine almost every week it's impossible for him not to know =( it's blackcurrant Ribena by the way.


" Smile! " =D

We really did have wine, after the dinner, after showering. It's right beside the pc now.

And him? Right beside me.

Too engrossed with finishing Theme Hospital. Everynight he has to get his hands on it and whines whenever he doesn't get to. Sigh I shouldn't have told him about it and bring it over. And now he's restless until he manage to win the whole thing, just like all the other 9823772 games he brought over. Guys. -_-

Night.

080605_Melbourne Day 4 (updated)

Woke up at 7 to prepare his breakfast and lunchbox. There's not much supplies and food left so I just made use of whatever's available.


Breakfast: Oats with Nutella.


Lunch box: Bacon, mushrroms, eggs, leaves and wholemeal bread sandwhich.

Will update later. I think I might go shopping today.

*******

Haha I forgot to mention that this morning while preparing breakfast I was cooking without switching on the range hood cos I didn't know how to switch it on and I thought I already switched it on. When I was frying the mushrooms and onions suddenly the alarm beeped. The smoke triggered the bloody alarm lah. Then Wk had to get up from bed and switch it off haha so stupid la me.

As expected, I did not do any shopping at all because I wasted too much time blogging, cleaning the kitchen gawd it was such a mess, choosing what to wear, doing my hair which was so disappointing because within 2 hours it straightened back T_T (is it my hair or it's the weather's fault?), painting my face, CAMWHORING oh gawd this one took the most time and basically doing nothing while waiting for Wk to finish work before I went out to the city to meet him.

Camwhore with camera not enough had to run to pc and camwhore with the webcam some more.

Sorry I know it's so pointless to see so many pictures of myself. I came up with this theory that whenever I put on makeup I'll turn into another soul completely. One which is VERY self-obsessed. Hence, the urge to camwhore.

If I'm without makeup sometimes my pictures turn out to be so horrible it makes me wanna puke.

Did not even cook (as planned) and instead we went to Mekong, a Vietnam food place and ate beef noodles which was... ok only to me. Sorry to say I don't quite fancy Vietnam food but since he suggested I just followed along. Oh and I don't like Korean food too. I'm a Japanese food supporter.

After dinner we went over to Koko Black.


Ice cream Martini: Vanilla Ice cream drizzled with caramel and nuts.


Chocolate Mousse Martini: Belgian chocolate mousse topped with nuts.

Basically they're called Martini cos they're served on a martini glass. Wah I tell you that 2 martini glasses of dessert is enough to make me feel so bloated and wanna puke if I eat some more. It was nice lah especially the chocolate mousse but we couldn't finish it because it was seriously damn thick. I think one is enough to serve 2. The ice cream too.

After that we did some groceries shopping at Safeway and came back home and this time I found a company to camwhore with =D

That's all for today. I think I'm gonna cook pasta tomorrow. And maybe, MAYBE, go shopping. I seriously need a scarf. A GOOD scarf. And a pair of long socks. I'm too tired of stockings cos everytime I move in them it rides down slowly and it's so irritating! And souvenirs. And if I see a good pair of boots or flats or both with a good price. And a coat.

Shiiiiiiit.

080604_Melbourne Day 3

Sorry yesterday Wk had to use the internet for something important. So I'll post a backdated entry.

******

Since he has too much internet quota to waste (last time had to use wisely cos webcaming eats up lots of quota and now that I'm here there's too much quota left to be wasted), I shall online the whole day and update this in timeline style.

0932
Woke up at 8.30, *touched him out of the apartment before he went to work, came back and stalked blogs, checked mail, and now I'm typing this. I shall go brush my teeth now and eat the almost expiring wholemeal bread. Flour products expire damn fast here. That whole loaf of wholemeal bread which is bigger than our typical loaf back home and which normally takes at least a week to finish, expires in 5 days wtf is this! Wk told me some even expire in 3 days crazy one where got people eat so much of bread in 3 days one! I know maybe it's meant to be sold to families but they should think of people who are staying alone also one mah. By the way my lips are chapping like cibai. And I dunno why yesterday night while sleeping halfway suddenly I feel really hot so I took off all my clothes and this morning woke up shivering even underneath the goose feather duvet haih so sohai. So now I'm wearing 2 layers of pants, Wk's long sleeve shirt, gloves and socks. Yeah gloves and socks inside the apartment.

*touched = Besides the apartment's keys, there's this touch card used to open the automated glass door to get out of the apartment downstairs so that people who are not resident cannot simply come in. There's only one touch card cos he didn't report my stay (cos apparently guests are only allowed to stay for a maximum of 2 weeks wtf is this stupid policy not that they're paying for anything also) so he has to leave the touch card and keys with me just in case I wanna go out or in case there's an emergency.

0941

The said wholemeal bread slapped with a layer of Nutella.

0951
I think Imma get another bread with Nutella.

1000
Playing SimsCity Societies.

1155
Sien. I'll go unpack and clean up the apartment now.

1331
Made the bed, cleared up my junks in the luggage, washed the cups and plates.Gonna go iron the clothes, reheat leftover pizzas (yes since 2 days ago, last 2 anyway), eat, watch tv and maybe paint my nails.

1336
Fuck. For some unknown reason, the iron... "leaked". And I almost destroyed the tv's remote control cos it was on top of the pool of water. I must have did something stupid to the iron when I took it out to explore cos I intended to iron the clothes. I better not touch it again and wait till Wk gets back and explain things to me. So, pizza and tv now.

1400
I just cried watching Oprah while having pizza. It was an episode about dogs adoption and rescue. What made me cry was the euthanasia process. A process where unadopted dogs which were saved and kept in the shelter are killed because when newly saved dogs come into the shelter, some dogs will have to go if nobody adopts them. Oprah's finished. I think I shall watch some dramas.

1412
Changed my mind. =) There's this really interesting cook show now called "Ready, Steady, Cook"

1450
Drama time!

1647
3 episodes. You know what? I'm bored. I'm bored of waiting for Wk to finish work and come back so that I can cook. And ask him about the stupid leaking iron. And bath. And do laundry. And throw away the pizza crust I did not eat, which is rotting in the trash bag and releasing some funny smell already. I should have gone out shopping. I saw this Bardot coat at Myers yesterday which had 30% discount and I didn't get it because Wk told me about Sam getting a nicer and better coat at far lower price. Stupid. And now I can't stop thinking about the Bardot coat because the sale ends today T___T And the Country Road bag which I've been contemplating since months ago. It sucks to be alone in the cold and have absolutely nothing to do. Oh, painted my nails while dorama-ing.


The blue one can glow in the dark, really. These are the mini from the Halloween collection.


3 layers to look like this. Dries up really fast so it was easy job.


I was a little bored so after 3 layers of blue I applied one layer of white and top it again with a layer of blue.

1707
Preparing dinner.


Deep frying chicken.


Frying omelette.

1910
Dinner time!


Ham and cheese omelette.


Choy sum with mushrooms.


Dark soy sauce chicken.


=)


Our dinner.


Cutting fruits.


Oranges.


Another picture of oranges.

1959
Burrrp. Just finished dinner.

2002
We're having wine =)

2037
Dammit I look like "Guan Gong" now.

2147
Shiiiiiiit. My period came. And dammit it must come at the most random moment and stained the duvet cover I'm so sorry baby I promise I'll clean it for you. He's down to the nearest convenient store to get pads for me cos I obviously cannot go with a bleeding bottom. Gahhhhhhh it was unexpected. Everytime when I'm on pills it'll only come after 3 days I stop eating. That's why I didn't bother getting pads in a hurry. Mana tau. Haih. I'm so sorry.

******

After he came back, he took over the computer while I played Theme Hospital. And that was the end of the day. Oh in the end he was the one who cleaned up the stain keep reassuring me it's ok. I feel like strangling him for being too nice to me some times heh.

Here are some camwhore pictures before I showered.


I love how the cold make my skin absolutely oil-free and clear. Sometimes my cheeks even go pink when I'm in contact with a little heat, like when I cook. And thank goodness my lips have finally adapted to the dryness and stopped chapping like cibai already.


I LOVE how my hair look here. (Not naked, I had a towel on) most of the time when I sweep my fringe to the back of my ears there'll always be a bald spot at the temple of my head.


I love this side too. And I also love that hairclip a lot. Bought it in Singapore. It's the only clip that can clasp and support my friggin hair which is too long and too thick.

I just realised my eyebrows are getting thinner and thinner throughout the years. I don't know why I tend to overpluck/tweeze them. I guess I'm getting too influenced by Japanese boys already. Seriously some of the boys have thinner eyebrows than the Japanese girls. But they look hot in it!

Ok gotta go clean up the kitchen now.

080603_Melbourne Day 2 (updated urm... 2x)

I was supposed to get my fat butt to Country Road today and the fact that I'm such a pig I overselpt it's 1112 now and I am slightly afraid of going out and taking the tram alone and walking into Melbourne Central and shop at Country Road...

I'm wasting my time blogging now rather than going over there quikly to buy those highly discounted items before it finishes.

Wk's gone to work and I shall get over to Country Road in a bit, buy whatever avalable/I need, come back home and eat leftover pizzas for lunch, practice a bit of violin OR play Sims Society, by 5 go back to Country Road and meet up with Wk...

and, later.

P/S: Life's great at the mo =) To be woken up by him (who loves to climb on top of me and do funny things to me when I sleep) in the morning and be the first person I can see, to see him and be able to touch him whenever I want to, to be able to cuddle and cuddle  me back, to have absolutely no worries about anything in the world at all, to be able to type with my freezing fingers here with his PC which I love to bits because the screen is so big and the performance is so good I can play Sims Society heh.

********

So in the end I decided not to go Country Road and will go later at 5 and meet Wk after he finished work. Reason: LAZY.

To waste some time, I instead decided to play Sims and clean up his apartment.

********

So we did went to Country Road and had a look and went out of the shop empty-handed because simple, I guess most of the good bargains have been wiped out. Haih as the saying goes, early bird catches the worm.

Wk went to work around 8.45 this morning and he immediately called me while I was still asleep.

" Hello?! Sorry you sleeping ah? "

" (In groggy voice) Urm yeah... "

" I saw a lot of people carrying the Country Road paper bag already lah! Chee sin one so early opened one meh! "

" Har wtf? Really ah? "

" You go check the card see what time the shop opens one. "

" Oh ok. (After checking) Fuck. 8 am to 9 pm. "

" WTF. So what time you going? "

" Er..... (initially I wanted to go at 1 or 2) er...... 10-11 litat lah... "

" Ok lah. Bye. "

And I went back to sleep, slept till 11 plus and later decided not to go because... read above.

So we went there at around 6 and I guess it's no surprise that there's nothing buy-able left after 10 hours. There's an exclusive sale for members only. Card holders will get an additional 25% off everything for all sale and full priced items. So say an item has 50%, add another 25% to it. And the sale is only for today for members before they open the normal sale to everyone (without the 25%) tomorrow.

Aiya whatever la it's not that after discount the stuffs are really cheap anyway. And I really don't like the idea of shopping in an outlet where its clothes are all over the place, long queue to the fitting room and the cash counter, and looking through stuffs with 2349876 other people.

And Melbourne has CRAZY shoppers. 8 am walao.

We had Thai food for dinner. Oh correction, GOOD Thai food. =)


Hahahahaa sorry forgot to take a picture before we ate. Anyway we ate at Ying Thai. Green curry with beef, seafood Tom Yum soup and Prawn Pud Thai (which was already finished by then).

I realise I'm the kinda person who doesn't like to try new things. Or should I say loyal? For example when I like a certain dish from a certain restaurant or any food outlet, I'll always order the same dish whenever I go back to that same restaurant. (I told Wk about this and he smiled and said "GOOD LAH" then I knew right away why he said that. Because then I won't change boyfriend so often -_- Which is true also lah.)

Pud Thai was introduced to me by Kyle (or was it Aileen I can't remember lah) when I came last year and I love it so much everytime I went to Ying Thai I will ask for it. Aiya not to say I went to Ying Thai a lot of times lah, last year I went there 2 times and this year, today lo. 3 times also I had Pud Thai and gawd it's soooososososo satisfying. It's just a plate of stir-fried glass noodles with peanuts, spices, some sweet sauce and bean sprouts but there's something really addictive about it which I cannot explain what is it.

The Tom Yum soup was ok, a bit too sour though. I'd like it to be more spicy but since Wk can't take it so it's ok lah. The green curry was....... NOT GREEN! Seriously I expected it to be green because the last time I had green curry in a Thai restaurant back in Malaysia, it was really green! But it sucked lah (the one in Malaysia) so I guess color does not matter? The curry was very very nice. And I think very fattening too because can taste there's a lot of coconut milk used in it.

After dinner we had Freddo's Gelato.


Durian (YUMMMMMMMMMM), Rocher and Green Tea.

Regarding my self-discovery on not liking to try new things, this is another example. I was introduced to this gelato last year and omg the durian gelato has been the most orgasmic ice cream ever!

Best part about today's dinner and dessert is Ying Thai and Freddo are just 2 shops apart so we did not have to walk miles in the cold. And having ice cream in the cold night? Awesome. =)

We tried taking pictures of ourselves eating but failed miserably. All the pictures turned out super fugly and horrible-looking. Here are some of the best looking among all the ugly pictures:


I hate how the cold make my nose red like a clown.

Wk has a few super funny (in other words ugly) pictures and he forbade me to post them up so I was only allowed to post this:


I bought him that pair of jeans and he loves it so much he wore it 2 days in a row haha doink.

By the way Levi jeans are fucking overpriced and ugly here in Melbourne. No wonder he kept pestering me to get him one before I came.

Time to sleep now. Night.
