080616_Melbourne Day 15 (updated)

I webcam-ed with my little sister yesterday cos I forgot to wish her for her birthday on the 14th. She looked so adorable in the webcam and she seemed to have lost a bit of weight. And my dad got her a Nintendo DS Lite. Yes a bloody NINTENDO DS LITE WHICH COST LIKE RM 600++.

LIKE WTF O_O

I remember last year my dad bought her a Philips Portable VCD/DVD player which was around RM 600++ too. Yes a PHILIPS PORTABLE VCD/DVD PLAYER, the one which looks like a mini laptop.

Last time limpeh's birthday also I have to think twice before choosing the right present because scared too expensive and father will nag.

LOOK AT MY SISTER! SHE'S ONLY 8 OK! AND SHE BLOODY HAS A DVD PLAYER AND A DS LITE!

And I kept asking her if she got miss me or not and she got all shy and refused to answer me. And I kept asking her after every few conversations. Like 7 or 8 times. Hahahahahaahah.

And I suddenly miss home T_____T

And then I told her if grandma come and talk to me grandma sure will ask me whether I have eaten or not one. And this was what happened in yesterday's conversation:

Grandma: Hello? Can hear ah?
Me: Ya ya. Can hear.
Grandma: Eat already ah?
Youngest sister: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Me and Wk: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAH

And then I spoke to my other sister (the one who's 19) and she told me lots of things which have been happening at home. Mainly about my grandma and, well. I don't think I should reveal too many bad things about certain people in my family although I really want to tell the whole world.

Things which happened to my grandmother which were so cruel, horrible, unfair and infuriating I wish I could just be at home and... I dunno. Eventhough I know I cannot stop it from happening, if I was at home I won't feel as bad as knowing things but not being able to be there or help; like now. And suddenly, I miss home T_____T

And I was so frustrated, I know what's happening but I cannot be there and stop it,

I cried T______T

I definitely have no regrets being here but it sucks to not be able to stand my my grandma's side now and maybe, possibly stop all that cruelty she never, ever deserve.

I was so worried about her I dreamed of her last night. T________T

Now I believe when they say you dream of some things when you keep thinking about it.

The sky when dusk was setting in:


It looked like a very pretty painting from the window.

Today's dinner:


Salmon Tempura


Lettuce with Crab stick meat (and excess sauce)

After dinner, we wanted to check out some movie sessions.

And lastly,

Sex and the city tomorrow! =)

080615_Melbourne Day 14

Before going out to the city to have a walk and meeting him after his meeting:

I actually have lots and lots of pictures but again, clearer ones made me look like shit.

We went to Correto's and had pasta:


Mixed pasta: Pasta Pesto Fettucine (which was so gigantic the fettucine), Carbonara Spaghetti and Seafood Marinara Penne.


Him.


Me, tak sabar sabar wanna eat that's why can see me grabbing the pasta.

Ok honestly, I was disappointed because the pasta wasn't that good. I've tasted much better Pesto and Carbonara back in Malaysia and having those yesterday didn't give any ooomph at all. They were not bad but nothing special. The pasta was homemade alright but I've also tasted BETTER homemade pasta in Malaysia.

Pizza Uno's Carbonara I must say is the best and their homemade spinach fettucine is really good. The one at Correto's was so gigantic, it was so filling! (Not forgetting the fact that homemade pasta is normally 25% more filling than instant pasta because of its water retention, as told by WK) And their Pesto was a little on the tasteless side and it didn't taste like what I expected it to be. I tried Pesto once in Klang and I loved it. You can't get Pesto easily in Malaysia what more a small town like Klang. And I thought it'd taste better if cooked by the Italians but sigh. And their Seafood Marinara was filled with lots of seafood (which made it the best deal among all) but the clam's smell was so strong it was overpowering everything else. I ate a penne, it smelled like clams. I ate a prawn, it smelled like clams. Wtf -___-|||

Maybe we should have went for their pizzas instead since I see most of the people were having pizzas.

WK PLEASE DO BETTER I NEED GOOD PASTA!

In the apartment I was chilling on the couch looking at the pictures in the camera then I unconsciously...

Gawd I'm such a whore sigh.


HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA


=)


Attempting to look sexy but I think I failed miserably T_T instead, I look like........ A MAN OMFG T_____T

And lastly,


Him on the phone with his dad.

Yay it's so cold. Even with the jacket my teeth were still chattering.

I feel so proud I managed to wear like that and ran to the convenient store to get some groceries. I didn't even bring my own slippers I had to wear his, if you can see it's slightly bigger than my feet in the picture.

He's making lunch now. Weekends are his turn to prepare meals =) We're having chicken rice. After that we're gonna clean up the apartment together. And tonight for dinner we decided to have pasta at Lygon Street. Yum yum I miss the heavy taste of Carbonara.

********

Pasta plan was cancelled because we met up with How Keat instead. So it was postponed to tomorrow's dinner. =)

Before going out,


I think I look like a ghost. My face is ghastly white and I have purple eyes.


Hahahahah I think I look damn freaky in this picture.


And I also shamelessly think this picture looks like a camera ad hahaahaha.


Trying out the famous (or should I say infamous?) pout-face pose.


Trying to check out how long my lashes are.


I think it's not THAT long lo as how Wk always say it is.

Because camwhoring with a camera is quite mafan, so I brilliantly used the webcam =D

Wah webcam seriously is the next best thing ever invented after cameras.

So we went to this place called San Churro.

This is their specialty:


Spanish Churro which comes with different types of chocolate dips of your choice: Dark, milk or white. Churro is a long, slender, deep-fried pastry resembling a cruller. It's a type of Mexican cookery.

Churros (Picture grabbed from it's website)

Very nice! It's something different and new which I've never tried before.

And then besides that we decided to have,


Their Rocky Road which is basically liquid chocolate of your choice poured on a mixture of marshmallows, strawberries, chocolate buttons and chocolate icecream. And then because the icecream is cold and also with the help of the cold night, the liquid chocolate set almost instantly and everything became as hard as rocks.

Verdict? Damn difficult to eat because everything's too hard to spoon after the chocolate sets. The marshmallows weren't really nice either (or maybe it's just something personal). Max Brenner serves bigger and nicer strawberries in my opinion. And the existence of chocolate buttons plus the liquid chocolate makes everything too heavy. I get scared by just eating 2 spoons of it because seriously, this is triple dose of chocolate: chocolate buttons, liquid chocolate and chocolate ice cream.

Will check out their other stuffs next time. So far, the Churros are the best there.

One last picture of the day:


Purposely chose the blur picture because I look like shit in the clearer one.

Bye.

Warning: 58 (uninteresting) images ahead.

Since I've been posting nothing much but food all these while, I shall make a short tour of Wk's apartment.


The dressing table in the toilet.


The said transparent shower cubicle.


Laundry basket.


Kitchen.


As you can see, the kitchen is right next to the entrance. Meaning when you open the door and get into the apartment, the kitchen is right next to you already.


The dining table which you can see is friggin small. It'd be just nice for a western meal where everything's in a platter but a little crowded if we have Chinese style serving; rice and side dishes + soup.


The living area. With couches he hates because he thinks they're too ugly.


View from the window in the living room. Oh that piece of land next to the road is a cemetery. It was said that Ghostrider was filmed there.


Can also see Australia's flag from the window.


The room.


The wardrobe.


Back of the door with all of our jeans. And urm, my sleepwear and my bra which you cannot see cos it's behind the sleepwear.


Nacho Cheese Doritos

I tell you this is the most evil snack in the world. It gets you started and you will never wanna stop eating it! I've been munching it everyday T___T imagine the amount of fats and carbs I've consumed.

Yesterday when we were at Safeway in the junk food area I saw lots and lots of Doritos and I turned and smiled at Wk. We bought 2 packets of my favourite Cheese Supreme because it was cheaper if we buy 2 than 1.

And when we got back, Wk purposely kept them at the highest rack in the kitchen cabinet and told me, " Cannot eat so fast. " He purposely did it because he knew I cannot reach it.


The said 2 packets of Supreme Cheese Doritos peeking from the top. Shit I feel like eating doritos now.


Here's the ever AMAZING fridge which I talked about yesterday.


Look where I'm pointing; that's the freezer. Yes I'm not joking nor am I lying. That's the place we use to freeze fresh meats. And ice cream if only there's enough space for it.


Told you, it's 1/4 of a CPU. I have to deal with this freezer can you imagine the wtf-look in me when Wk said we can't buy ice creams because the freezer has no space for it?


The super dirty kitchen due to my heavy cooking. Must clean it already this Sunday.

That's all.


My breakfast today.


Added milk. Not bad.

Lunch:


Fried rice.

Today when he came back after work he brought back something very happy-fying!


Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!


Krispy Kreme!!!!11

We immediately took 2 original glace, popped it into microwave, reheat and the first bite of it was omg... ORGASMIC. Yum yum.

And for dinner I cooked:


Lemon chicken.


Baby bak choy and crab stick meat.

You'll see a lot of crab stick meat from now because we bought a super big packet of it the other day in the market.


Potato salad.

And for the rest of the day I spent time taking pictures of some of the stuffs I bought here in Melbourne.

These were last year's:


Black tights from Sportsgirl. (Yes I'm aware that I have thunderous thighs T__T) Doesn't work really well cos it's kinda thin, you can see it from its sheer material. Or maybe my legs are just too big that it has to expand that much =(


Witchery's Parka Jacket which Wk got for me even before I came here last year.

There's a story behind this jacket. Actually this is not the 1st jacket he got me. I lost the one he got me in KLIA last year when I just got back from Melbourne. I was carrying a lot of stuffs and when I wanted to get a trolley, I put the jacket I was holding somewhere and when I left, I forgot all about it! It was until I reached home only I remembered about it and I immediately called KLIA and asked them to inform me if they find it. I didn't only call once, for that whole week I called a few times but there was no news nor signs of it.

Curse that stupid bastard who stole my jacket. Stupid cheap idiot. People's jacket also want to nick.

And then I was so sad for the loss. I wasn't sad mainly because I lost the jacket due to my carelessness. I was sad that Wk was unhappy about it. And some more the jacket is not cheap. Then for the whole week when I looked through my Melbourne pictures I got even more sad because it ached to see myself in the jacket but knowing the truth that I no longer have it anymore.

Not long after that, I decided to get a new one. And I was lucky, I managed to get the last piece. =)

Curse that stupid fucker who stole it. >=(


I especially love the faux fur hood.


Keeps me really warm =)


This one's from 9West and I love it so much I overuse it and now it's slowly wearing out =( Time to get a new one.


This one's from Guess but I'm not really sure about it's authenticity. I really really love the colour (It was a sweet shade of mint) which was the main reason I bought it, but because of its colour also it gets dirty really easily. Now it's so dirty I also don't know how to clean it.

There are a few more but they're all back at home.

So the other day we were at Bridge Road:

It was so cheap you cannot believe it!


Such pretty details.

Can guess how much ah?

It was hung in a stack of other clothes and labeled "3 for $ 5"!!! So it's like AUD 1.67 or in other words RM 5 only! Damn cheap right for such a nice piece!

And these!

Guess how much!

Haiyah save it you cannot guess one. I got both of it for AUD 10 (RM 30) only!!! Some more the cloth is quite thick one not some cheap, flimsy material lo.

Wah damn happy got such great deals. I spent AUD 15 (RM 45) and I got a total of 5 tops ok you can't even get such good deals in M'sia.


White wool ribbed stockings from Witchery.

I've been looking for a pair of white stockings so when I saw this, which was hung together with all the other types of tights/stockings and all the other black and grey tights/stockings, AND most of them were priced at AUD 14.95, I, so stupid, without looking at the price of this pair, took it to the counter.

And then after the girl scanned the barcode, she said, " That would be 39.95 please. "

I was like, WTF? But obviously I kept my cool lah I didn't make a big fuss lah. After paying only we talked about it outside the shop.

WTF AUD 40 (RM 120) FOR A PAIR OF STOCKINGS! If I was aware of the price and I still bought it I must be out of my mind!

Sigh who ask me so stupid ownself assume everything's same price one. But in the end I still think it's worth it because the stockings are really functional and nice. It keep my legs warm cos it's partially wool mah. Haih moral of the story is, don't be such a sohai and assume things without even checking.

On Sunday we went to DFO:


Jeans from Dotti.


Too long so had to fold it. =( Gonna trim it off soon.

I hate buying jeans in Aus. Everything's extra long and they don't have a section for petites like Topshop.

Then I bought 2 turtlenecks.


Sorry the material is a bit stretchy and sheer so can see my bra. I intend to wear this for layering only.

I dunno why I find myself not looking really good in turtlenecks since I have a short neck. Wtf pun not intended.


Shorts from Country Road which was AUD 18 (RM 54) and previously it was dunno AUD 50 (RM 150) or something. Ok this is a bit pricey but a pair of shorts is an essential and it can last. It's not like tops where you wear it once and get bored of it. And besides, RM 150 is too crazy for a pair of shorts so since it was on sale, why not?


I can wear it with stockings in winter and without stockings back at home.


Country Road bag which is oh-so-famous, you can see it everywhere in Melbourne. Maybe in everywhere Aus I dunno.

Ok the truth is, I used to think it's not that nice. Not ugly, but not really nice. I just think it's kinda big for an everyday-tote. But no doubt, it's a very versatile bag. It's so big that some people use it as a luggage bag, some use it as a handbag, some sling it and use it as a school bag.

BUT. I'm actually a very fickle minded person. Not in relationships ok, in fashion. I tend to change my mind very easily especially when I'm influenced like when I see lots of people having something I don't like and I dunno how, after some time, somehow I'll slowly find it nice.

Like I used to hate Crocs but when Adelle and Cheng Choo bought it, I dunno why I slowly think it's kinda ok and even considered in getting it for myself.

Same goes to this stupid Country Road bag. Yeah I finally surrendered and bought it because it was on sale. It was previously AUD 59.90 (RM 180 yeah crazy price for that kinda bag) but then after discount it was AUD 36 (RM 108) so I thought quite ok lah might as well just get it since it's so cheap and I'm sure not many people will have it in M'sia. And I need a new bag anyway. And everyone's using it.

I'm now eyeing on that Longchamp bag hrmmmmmm.

Then we went into Levi's and ok I was wrong about Levi's. I said they don't have nice designs and they're overpriced. Well that was before How Keat told me about the Levi's in DFO.

They have a lot of designs and there was a sale going on so there were jeans which were sold at as low as AUD 39.95 (RM 120). But it was a mess there. Everything was everywhere and there weren't much sizes left.

I tried one and like I said, the jeans in Aus are generally longer maybe because it's made to fit the angmohs who are also generally taller than us Asians. So did not get any jeans lah. Instead, Wk got me something else. =D


A white jacket! I've been whining and whining about wanting to get a white jacket/coat since both of the jacket and coat I have are black. And then we saw this which was quite cheap! AUD 60 (RM 180). Seriously I think this is more worth it than that Country Road bag for the same price.


This is the tab that's sewn to the end of the left sleeve. Damn cute.


The hood's not as nice as the Witchery's. It also had a faux fur attached to it but it's so ugly I took it off since it's removable.


The removed ugly faux fur.

And lastly when we were on the way back in Bourke Street, I went into Supre and got a scarf.

Which was damn long.


But I like cos it's cute. =)

Ok that's all. Wah sibeh long entry.
