Holiday Mode

The reason for me not blogging is that I'm away on holiday in Malaysia. I don't have internet connection at home in Ipoh. I've been here since 2nd January. Enjoying my holiday, just resting and stuffing so much food hehe.

Will be back in Melb by 1st of March. Till then, Happy Chinese Year to all those celebrating ;)
Don't eat too much limau!!!

Oh Oh!!

I've been ignoring my blog for sooooo long. was sick with flu for almost 2 weeks ;(
but amazingly on boxing day I was feeling ok haha
with my in laws in town, it was a patah-kaki-nak-jalan boxing day!!!! we were out for 11 hours for shopping!!!!!

This is my first time shopping on boxing day since during my studies years I always go home during summer holiday. That one day sales discount melampau2. There was one shop that we all went to buy shoes here in Melb. It's called Luisa. A must go if you love designer shoes & bags. it was 60% for everything only on boxing day! worth the queue!!

I got so many new stuffs!! me likey!!! ;)

So today's itinerary is MORE SHOPPING!!!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha kepada semua. My first time celebrating without my family. So kena la try masak sendiri. Sila try rendang ayam saya, first time buat from scratch ;)

Pacman Wins!!

It was my first time watching boxing at a bar with my husband. So exciting! I know boxing is really violent, but watching Manny's fight is so exciting!
Yesterday was Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito fight. We decided to go down to Melbourne Central Lion Hotel to watch. Arrived around 2 something, the fight started at 4pm. There were a lot of pinoys who came, wrong bar for mexicans ehhe.

Fight lasted for 12 rounds, pure punching pow pow pow from Manny. Margarito was like a punching bag for Manny, getting hit every so often. His eyes were so swollen, it was really bad.
Manny won the World Super Welterweight Championship title, his 8th division title.

Now bring it on, floyd 'pretty boy' mayweather!!

Mixed Feeling Day

My day started really early today. I was woken up by a phone call by my brother at around 4am. He told me my uncle (my aunty's husband) has passed away. I was really shocked hearing the sad news. My condolences go to them especially to my closest twin cousins ;(

I couldn't sleep for an hour and I got up around 6.30am and took a shower. I actually have a job interview today at 9am. I don't really know how and what to feel going to the interview. Anyways it was a group interview with activities. Felt so drained after being questioned by 5 interviewers asking similar questions. Anyways, it was an enjoyable experience even if I don't get the job, herm just got the call, didn't get it because the stores i wanted to work at has limited openings.hermmmmm.....

Finished the interview by 11am, decided to go redeem my Mini Cupcakes by The Little Cupcakes at Degraves St since I bought a voucher from www.cudo.com.au. It's a dozen (12 pieces) mini cupcakes sold for $9, usual price is $24 ($2 each). I bought a voucher for my friend too hehe

Look how messy my cupcakes were and the toppings actually melted a bit, it's a really hot day!!

Half price deal

If you're in Australia, have you heard numerous half price deal websites like Zoupon, Scoopon, Cudo? and if you're in Malaysia have you heard of MYDEAL.com.my?

These websites have one thing in common: that is they offer awesome deals, discounted prices for great food, drink, massages, beauty services, concerts..basically anything.
The deal needs minimum of 10 purchases, then only the deal will be ON. Your credit card will only be charge once the deal is on and finished. So far I've bought food deals at awesome prices!
I paid $18 (but zoupon only charged me $9 since it was my first purchase i think) for $45 worth of food! you only have to print out the voucher and show it to the shop. You can buy it as a gift too!

Yesterday's deal (there's still 2 hours before it ends) from Scoopon.com.au, just $9.95 for a Hoyts Adult movie ticket! Usual movie ticket is $17.50 (so expensive unless if you go on tuesday it's $11). I bought 4 tix ;)

So what you do is check the websites everyday for the daily deal. Mydeal has awesome deals too. might try it when i go back home. Now go browse ;)

Unproductive week

It's been a few of unproductive weeks for me. Doing nothing but watching my drama series. Haven't gone out on weekdays, that's how lazy I am ;(

Been thinking to take up short courses. Sewing & baking perhaps. Maybe next year.
Now off to watch more series ;)

Update update

Have been so lazy to blog especially when I've been sick since coming home to melb and something kept me busy hehe.


Here are some pics to sum up what I've been up to. Food pics of course ;)

and this has kept me busy.

Wiiiiiiiiiiii....I know I'm the last person to get wii ehehe..
Bought a preowned wii for $175 i think. Totally worth the money, it's been refurbished by EB of course. Games are really cheap right now. So if you're thinking of getting Wii & you're in Australia, head down to EB!!

Post Raya

So how was everyone's raya? Mine was certainly fun but a tiring one. On the first day of Raya, I was hit by flu and sore throat. Not because of over eating but just being tired the whole week ;(

Went home to GC on Sunday and got to spend the last week of puasa with the family. First time spending my Raya with a new family, it felt so different. I wish I was back home with my family, next year perhaps ;)

After the raya prayer in the morning, went to 2 houses to beraya and ate a lot early in the morning around 9 or 10am hehe
in Malaysia people usually pay visit in noon, not here! Then rushed back to prepare for our open house.

In overall, my first raya as a wife was a new experience (a good one of coz), received duit raya still & gave duit raya to the adik-adik (not my money btw ehehe). There were tears, laughters, arguments but all is good ;)

Here are my raya pics from down under..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilifitri!

Haven't blog for few days already. Have been too busy and too tired to blog. We've flown back to GC for raya. Penat tolong kemas rumah semua...

Today Insyallah will be the last day of Ramadhan & tomorrow we might be celebrating Hari Raya. I would like to wish to my family and friends and all muslims around the world, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! Eid Mubarak!

Maafkan saya jika saya tersalah bahasa di blog saya. Have a wonderful day with your family and friends and eat all those yummy food and biscuits for me!

When my sister told me Big Bang is coming, I couldn't believe it!! It's like my wish has finally come true! Hopes were high I have to say, my only chance to ever see Big Bang. Then my wish was crushed, I couldn't go (some internal problems that I do not wish to discuss anymore, never! ;(

Anyhow, I got over it already and am excited for my sisters and cousins to go, that if they can get the tickets haha. They are only selling the tickets at HMV Singapore, no other alternatives.

Tell me how do you compete with crazy young girls who are willing campout the night before, plus when you don't live in Singapore your chances to get the tickets is 0.0000001% unless there's someone who is willing to get it for you. Let's just cross your fingers girls and hope for the best!

Please, please organisers in Malaysia, it's about time to bring in Kpop concerts to Malaysia!!!

Lazyness

I haven't blog at all since Monday. I've been really lazyyyyy. Am still recovering from last week outing. Plus Melbourne's weather whole week been so crappy. Raining, strong wind and it's too cold!! So I opted to stay at home and hibernate hehe.

Will blog again (hopefully) next week. Have a good weekend everyone ;)

Sudah Seminggu Berpuasa..

Sudah seminggu berpuasa, cepat rasanya masa berlalu. Ramadhan ini pertama kali berpuasa bersama suami. Berdua bila bersahur dan berdua jugak bila berbuka. Dulu masa belajar berbuka dgn adik & kakak, kat Ipoh bersama whole family. I miss my family ;(

Not a very smart move listening to Raya songs in the morning! Now I'm feeling sooooo homesick that I want to go home tomorrow! This year Aidilfitri is a new adventure to me. I'll be celebrating with husband's family. Quite scary, don't know what to expect. Ye la, family org lain caranya kan. Jgn mak mertua suruh masak utk raya sudah hehe mana reti nak buat rendang ketupat semua, makan boleh la (habis laki i baca nanti haha)

I still remember this time last year, I was preparing for my wedding. Kalau boleh jgn la kahwin masa raya, leceh betul. Not only you need to fast (actually puasa is ok you can lose more weight before your wedding) then you need to organise everything plus you have to celebrate raya too.
Mana nak sempat beraya camtu? Tak boleh makan all out kang tak muat baju kan, pastu budget baju raya takde..ye la dah guna duit utk kahwin, then tak sempat nak beraya rumah kawan!!

My cabaran masa puasa last year was too much, I remember I cried after sahur, marah2..stress giler2 with my preparations.I was also sick during puasa, tak lalu nak makan masa berbuka.. I lost 4kg (not that I mind hehe). But alhamdulillah, everything went well..dah nak setahun pun kahwin.

Byk pulak i merapu pagi2 ni, this post was just meant for me to post pic of what I cook for berbuka. Penat jugak everyday masak, tapi nak buat camne. Sini bukan Malaysia ada bazaar Ramadhan, rindunya ayam percik dan kuayteow goreng kat Stadium Ipoh ;(

Beef Stew & Burger

Nasi Tomato & Ayam masak merah

**psssttt : Miss, saya mahu balik kampung oh ohh oh balik ipoh ;)

The Good OLD Times..

This song Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message ( I'm sure you've listened to this song before) remind me of my teenage years, the good old times I had with my elder sister. Although our age gap is 4 years apart but I've always followed her around since high school. Her friends are my friends and vice versa.

I've always hanged out with her friends and I'd make sure I tagged along to wherever she went, yes including clubs and all (but I don't go clubbing..just to the cybercafe to mIRC with my then bf, now hubby hehe).

This song really brings back memories when I was younger.. naive, stupid and have the guts to do anything without thinking about the consequences haha. No, I didn't drink or smoke, but my sister taught me how to play pool and showed me the 'world'. (thanks miss ;)

Ahhhhhhh the good old times yeah ;)
Think I'm a little homesick today ;(

p/s: congrats fyza on her pregnancy!! and salam ramadhan to all muslim around the world ;)

Someone is engaged!!

My friend Masera told me she got engaged!!! a day after the ceremony!!!
I'm sooo happy for her!! She had been to EVERYONE's wedding, including mine..she attended too many weddings and finally she's attending hers! hehe

Wish she had told me earlier that she's getting married in early January next year, need to find a cheap ticket to go home in january. Ahhh finally I'm attending a wedding after getting married hehe

Dont' you think they make a gorgeous couple. They look so good together ;)

*pic credit to sera fb

Alhamdulillah

Syukur alhamdulillah, we've booked tickets to Gold Coast for Raya and our trip to Seoul all at cheap prices! hehe been the best 2 days of this year for me!
Now, where else should I go? hermmm....

** update: my holiday in february 2011 looks like this.

Melbourne - KL - Singapore - Ipoh- Seoul - Melbourne

I - Iphone, Four - 4 = Iphone4

Yes, the wait is finally over! It has arrived in Australia!! 2 hours of call waiting was nothing! haha. My.. oppss my husband's Iphone4 has safely been delivered yesterday noon. I hid the package until dinner (coz I know he won't eat dinner if he saw the package). Boy, someone was so excited ;p

The new Iphone4 requires a microsim, so I think you can't use the phone if you have a normal sim card.

So what is so special about Iphone4 than the older version. According to the apple website:

1. It has 2 camera, works two ways. Now you can make videocalls easily. You can video call
Iphone4 to Iphone4 users through wifi. Its 5 megapixel camera now.


2. The Retina display on iPhone 4 is the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen
ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. The colour is much better
than the old one (yes, we've compared)


3. Now you can multitask between applications, pretty fast..doesn't lag like the old one.


4. You can shoot and edit HD quality video on your Iphone4.



This is the new Iphone4..tadaaa!

What do I think about Iphone4? Hermm, I'm not an Iphone user so it doesn't excite me that much. I don't like the design though, the older is nicer. To me, it's just the same like the old one just better picture quality and colour and the 2 camera + 5mp is a plus. Oh and you can get the rubber cover for free, it's for the antenna problem as the US users had this problem.

For now, I've upgraded my phone too, from a LG Lollipop to the old Iphone, yes my husband's old phone ( I only get used stuffs ;( ..ahhhh kesian kan ). I don't mind at all sebab i can now play the games!! yeayyyy my pandamania!! haha

Hers and His

p/s: this post wasn't paid by Apple haha

Online games are good..errr bad for you!!

I'm so embarassed to admit that I'm addicted to online games. The ones in facebook. So addictive that it's part of my daily routine already!! So if you're on Facebook, you might get bombarded with games invites, annoying to those who don't play but a delight for those who play!! you get gifts or something that will get you a reward in the games.

So what games do I play. Gee..I've lost count haha. Cafe World was the first game I've played on fb (I'm on level 95 with 8 million coins, real hard work hehe). Thanks fhamz for getting me started hehe. Then the list goes on to Fishville, Petville, Farmville (I'm giving up on my farm!). With all the cafe and farm, you would need a hotel and a restaurant, hence the game Hotel City & Restaurant City haha.
Right now, I've decided to open my own bakery - Baking Life & my own dessert cafe - Cafe Life, oh and why not have an own a town - Supertown Fun. haha.
Yeah, I know you gonna say that I'm lifeless! I need help!!!

Not enough with playing games all day long, yesterday night I hijacked my husband's Iphone & download free apps. PandaMania is so much fun haha. There are soo many useless games apps for iphone like making burger game, sushi making, grilled bbq haha.
I should get the new Iphone4, which is out today (hubby been calling from 8am & still waiting haha) just to play games, herrmm or maybe just get Ipad..bigger screen, great for games! LOLs

so back to clicking.


p/s: that's not my hand, just a picture from google although I have chunky hand haha
