Typical Tuesday

Dearest,

Woke up at 6.45am as per my second week of the semester. It is horrible sleep for me as I could not sleep properly and I been waking up in midnight... Not used to the sleeping style or perhaps my body was super tired but my mental brain still functioning worrying bout things around.

As normal routine, prepared myself and brekkie with noodles and coffee to wake me up for the morning. I did the laundry today because I want to do something tomorrow on my Birthday. Don't know what but I WANT TO DO SOMETHING!!!~ Roar Lol

Hmm.. After chanting and gonkyo, I left house and reminded D to dry the clothes after. D was in a deep sleep mode. It's always being naughty to disturb D in early morning. After farewell goodbye, I went out and started my driving. I got a nice spot last night in the 2P without tickets area. Weekdays timing 7.30-6.30pm, however weekend crazily until 11.30pm at night! Excepted those who have residents permit. The opposite side of the road in front of my apartment, with 3 hours parking with tickets is free to park on Saturday after 12.30pm and all day Sunday. Usually FULL~!
Hmm... hate to think about where to park always. Meh... to move on, I drive to Holmesglen. I assumed it will be less congested today as I leave early and should be having enough time to walk from Building 8 to 1. There was car accidents happened in Toorak road and because the road has only two lane on each side. One blocked another one slowed too. Sigh! I was stranded on that road for more than 20 minutes. Listening to the mp3 in the car audio player, there are only some particular songs that I interested to listen and sing along.

Finally arrived in Holmesglen and parked very far away under the building filled with wood stands. Quickly paid parking ticket and then run off to class. When I got there, Michael was the only one after me, then the rest arrived. We have 3 hours boring lessons on PDF to work on Excel. Basically is self-learning session and if you have any questions then the teacher only come to assist. The problem is I don't understand why they need 2 teachers in the same class. The group isn't big and wasting money.

Kate wasn't sitting next to me before but because the computer place she sat was not working so she sat next to me after. We don't have much conversation until the class nearly to the end. Talking bout Friday class - Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation subject. Sharing the outline, assessments and presentation.

By the way, Laura is the second teacher in this Marketing Information System that would teach us how to use SPSS. Don't know what the hell is that. She also a lecturer of Business Maths & Stats for my semester. Unfortunately, she informed that we could not do the tutorial classes she has because there will be no students in Janine class then. =/ 3 hours break seriously?! FAR OUT!

Oh well, went to restroom before my lunch. And ending up sitting in library blogging, mailing and Facebooking due to the over crowded cafeteria. A lot of people brought their lunch box to heat up using microwave in cafeteria. I am so hungry and can't wait to taste the food D packed for me last night. Sweet <3 d.="" nbsp="" of="" p="">
Gum is bleeding as I can taste my own blood or when I spitted in toilet. YUCKS! Feeling very dehydrated too because the flask I'm having is way too small for a long day. But then Uni does not supply hot water tap. So ? What to do =(

To be continued...

XOXO

Monday

Dearest,

6.45am in morning? Are you kidding me! =( Sad that today is Monday but excited for the coming Wednesday as I am getting old very soon! I am particularly very late to Holmesglen today. It's my first drive to uni since long time ago. Fortunately got a parking space before the building near to the child care centre. Walking super quick after paying parking ticket.

Sit around the corner yawning with my phone whatsapp D. Business Maths & Stats lecture for early Monday morning! The topic for today is Depreciation, Simple and Compound Interest. The last part which is Annuities did not covered as running out of time.

There's a guy back a row from me, he kept repeating what lecturer trying to say or jump to conclusion. Trying to make himself stand out from the crowd in the class or what... Really feeling pissed off. After the lecture finished, straightaway I go to car. Planning to go to Moorabin USA Food store. Who knows, the car does not allowed me to start the engine after putting in the key. Sitting there wondering around what the hell wrong with that car. Appreciation come in my mind and chanted NMHRGK. =/ Having the wisdom in that short period of time, I google search with my phone. Sweating there, hanging in there. Sucks. Then someone commented to try out pushing the wheel steering and then start engine. It works! Phew~ Then I managed to go to Moorabin.

It's a busy road on the East side always. Totally dislike the feeling on the East. Rude drivers around, speeding car beyond the speed limit signs. On the way to Moorabin, saw a McDonalds, wonder if I will passing by later while on the way back? Hmm... Arrived the place and saw a lot of warehouses there. There's no parking limit hours sign and assumed it is free of charge. Filled with disappointment when I stepped into the warehouse. Not much things in there. Quick skim around what they have, unfortunately they don't have the jam I really love. And Australians hate Americans... Knowing this saying from my sister and D agreed.


Leaving with sadness, drive home from Moorabin. Passed by the McDonalds I have seen before, they only have the red whistle Minion available.  I still missing 2 in my collections.

It's a long way drive for me and I already starving after morning lecture. In Camberwell Junction, I was blocked by a huge truck in front of me and I can't see the traffic lights clearly. I step on the fuel while the light on yellow. Praying hard there's no speed camera around =( Got back Eeping around 12.30pm and wanted to do laundry. Feel lazy to bring around my clothes back to home and wash. Then I realised which column to pour the detergent for this washing machine. It's a very good washing machine Bosch Sensitive 8. Google search the manual online, takes forever to find a correct one and some the link need to pay? WTF?! Meh... After figure out how to do laundry, I search for the Camberwell junction speed camera. Just hope that there isn't one there. Also research Korean restaurant since D suggesting to try G2 on Elizabeth st or the one that Yoong Fei been before. Then end up was thinking to go Guhng that Ammie recommended and we had family dinner there last X'mas.

Reheat the leftover pizzas from the house twice, taste horrible! Ate Green Tea ice-cream yum! Having this kind of luxury probably just around this time is a treat for myself! 

Laundry done at 2.30pm. Feeling super tired. Had a nap while D whatsapp. zzz... Left the house at 3.40pm. D finished class earlier around 3pm and went for lunch. So nice! D had KFC for lunch.

Just as when I got back to Southbank, luckily found a car park at 2P area and it's 4.26pm. After 6.30pm it does need to pay. Having said that, I still have to go down at 6.26pm to check out in case there is any ticket inspectors. And luckily there's none and I managed to continue park there. Met D in front of my apartment and got back together. There's no mail for me today hmm... waiting for a parcel to received from yesstyle and maybe some freebies from net. 

D started to cook at 5pm but we had dinner around 7pm. D roasted the drumsticks brought over from sis place. Boiled some potatoes and frozen vegetables as side dishes on top of rice for dinner. Ken roasted pumpkin and salmon. I asked Ken if I could borrow the car, his a bit surprised because I already having bro-in-law car. Well, I explained it would be difficult to get a parking when back because is free of charge and many people parked. Also having a selfish thought that I don't need to move the car away or pay even the 2P start from 7.30am tomorrow morning. I apologized again when Clarice was home. We are super late to meeting, reach there nearly 7.30pm.
Clarice seems a bit tired and one of her client attempt suicide and she's not allowed to visit because is not crime worker or something. What a tough job!

D sat in front of the chanting today. What a great courage! I can only sit behind because it's filled up. Then move to the back after prayer. Just realised D and I both wearing Red today! WOW like Chinese New Year - Sarah mentioned it while we walking to the car. She was working before and could not attend meeting and she's meeting Cheng Joo. Cheng Joo have another 3 more months to go in Melbourne, leaving possibly in the end of October or early November. Purva will be leaving in 9 weeks time. =( 

Katrina asked if I will be coming tomorrow meeting. I feel weird. She's not coming with us because of walking with Purva and others. Ok then, I also feel exhausted for today even though I only have morning lecture only. But driving around from City to East to North and back to City is surely not a fun experience.

I shared that sister will be going to Sado Island to visit Nichiren Daishonin temple. I must chant for good fortune to be able to experience in future too. During the chanting, I pray for Stephanie in Singapore (Clarice friend that Shakubuku) definitely able to visit Melbourne near future. I wanted to meet her desperately! She gave me a key chain from Japan while she went to training last time. I can never forget the care that senior members had given to me and I wanted to do the same to juniors. Today meeting we continue discussed 'Reply to Yasaburo'. Ley Hian feel that these series will be like Sensei will to all of us. To continue strive for Kosen-Rufu. At the beginning, Ley Hian asking Katrina to share the background again and can see that she reluctant to share it. She passed the paper she written before to Dylan and he struggled to read and understand the short form haha. Then Dylan passed it to me and I am bit confused to read after a few words LOL.

I have learnt that Lotus Sutra is manifesting Buddhahood in this life and transform wherever we go into Buddha land. I love this sentence and the meaning in it. We struggle so much, lifetime after lifetime, to come back to review the Bodhisattva of the Earth vow. By using these difficulties, we are are here to come back to prove NMHRGK to others. And bring tremendous hope to others. Attitude of the believers play important role. In society different time have different fashion. Similarly, philosophy too need to be in right time. We must be firm and not to be swayed away easily. We are told that the priests side have very systematic syllabus. That's a bit freaking me out. But we should not worried because the most important thing is we have strong foundation in faith, study and practice. When the time if there are members back off SGI this is the time we become vanguard to protect Soka Gakkai. When Ley Hian sharing this part, I was laughing to Dylan because he play VanGuard cards. Nichiren Daishonin and Ikeda sensei teaching us how to breakthrough our fundamental darkness. There is no different between Sensei and us. We must courageously encourage people around us to breakthrough their struggles together and achieve victory! 

Priests in old days should be an expertise. I am a bit confused. Then it was explained as: The sutras are like window software. From window dos to 95, 98, XP and so on. But Lotus Sutra is the King of Sutra - Window 8. 

During the meeting, I got response from Yoong Fei because he promised to share the melon sweet bun recipe and tiramisu. Ended up he said give me tomorrow. Oh well, I guess I have to remind him again tomorrow.

It was really an interesting discussion that I enjoyed a lot.

Home, shower, play some candy crush saga, struggling to open eyes, told off to go sleep. =p It's gonna be a freaking long day for me tomorrow. 3 hours class 3 hours break and 3 hours class.

Goodnight!

XOXO

Depressed yet Fulfilling Sunny Sunday!

Dearest:

Kicked start my day off 8am! First thing I did was kick away my blanket and switch on my laptop to go online. I wonder how people like me survive without technology around in every corner. Decided to have a light brekkie which were what D has bought and brought yesterday from Costco, had 2 mini pain au chocolat and nescafe. They are yum! While having them, I watched a bit of HK Drama named Bullet Brain. I am so depressed because I have not really talk much with D and he had a great hard time last night and was not really chatting after he had a big time with Dad. I am so worried how's things going on... :-/

I am so obsessed with the song in Final Fantasy - Melodies of Life. Got it stuck right in my mind and been listening to it a lot. I had the YouTube convert to mp3 and download to my iPod so I could listen while traveling later.



Katrina whatsapp me and I wonder who will buzz me at this early hour; was it Bambie or something because I am going for audio rehearsal at VCC today at 11am. She finally had her whatsapp installed by her bro and checking how I am going with life, sort of things... she wonder how to find the train and tram table for the apps or so. I just told her Apple associate with Apps Store that have PTV and TramTracker for the apps and totally no idea how she's going to get the apps on her phone though. Been an Apple user for more than 5 years already... time flies...~

Finally got D message nearly 9am. I told D feeling depress today and basically the whole month of June. Hopefully a beautiful July coming on its on way... that's how I expressed on Facebook. D always compliment me with beautiful or cute Carin. Sweet of the way it is ...

Then I had to do a big business before doing morning gonkyo and chanting and how I got late to tram on 10.20am I supposed to catch. I knew I won't able to make it on time by the time I get to tram station so I whatsapp Bambie I will be 10 minutes late (that's the arrival time shown to VCC). 

Also not to forget the plan of going to Southbank Library after everything done in VCC, to verified my address so I can max up the loan to 50 items; therefore I shall not forget to bring TPG invoice as proof. =) 

D does not response my last message around 11am. Assumed busy at training or so; however D promised to visit after work. Well at least something going on today in the plan... less depressing hopefully.

The song I had just transferred to iPod does not really play in full version as the internet so crap these two days. ARGH! Hate it! It does not stop me from listening Melodies of Life and I watch different piano version of the music on iPhone YouTube apps. I really determined to learn this song as I like it a lot but it's difficult too because of not having basic knowledge lesson about playing piano. And the keyboard I borrowed from bro only have 5 space which might be not long enough but then again, I am not a professional pianist so I don't need something fancy and pro which this keyboard is having whatever enough I needed.

Reached VCC by 11.15am actually... lame... always running late to catch public transport. This habit started when I went out more often with Daniel before. Such a terrible habit, very bad causes! x.x Have not met anyone and just straight away go upstair where the audio thingy located in the main hall. Bambie, Janet and Euhin with the dance group are there. Practice how to use the machine according to the right channel. Divya then joined in to the practice. I am doing the audio probably with Denny on coming commemorative meeting. Learnt of lot of new things as there will be a performance and the audio player - iPhone dock is not working correctly and need to use the headphone jack as external input to play the music which is kind of weird but it just works! Then we head down to the mini hall room to play around with the audio machine and microphone. It is local and upstairs but the microphone just can be used even though the machine is on as upstairs to receive whatever input there. After the rehearsal finished, surprisingly saw sister in bookstore but didn't talk to each other just wave cause she's busy with the bookstore check in stock probably. Somehow I move to the pantry area and I was told to follow Aditi to a room where the MD friendship day had the refreshment. Just known about Melisa grandma has passed away.. =( Helped out to clear the food on table moving to pantry area, managed to pick up one July SGI Magazine from the shelf. Might thinking to bring to Chandra or something as he could not attend meeting mostly due to work. Sitting around while waiting for Bambie as promised to catch up for lunch. 

When about to leave with Bambie, sis and Victor leaving too we bump each other at the back door. And booking for my "Birthday" catch up on 21st July instead of my actual birthday =.=" She will be away to Japan on 27th to 18th August! So jealous! She asked what do I want... hmmm... I want a bead but haven't request. Then she look at her little diary as usual. Feeling more like meeting a doctor or something =.= need to book her in advanced for appointment. Then she said will call me tomorrow; I have meeting till 9pm. And while we walked apart further, she yell at me again... Are you bring ... D.... or maybe I misheard. >_<" And I just keep yelling back 'Ha...?' She again asked if I am bring +1 LOL... I just response with 'maybe' and I can see my bro-in-law smiling there... Eeeeee~~~

Got up Bambie car and head to Chef Lagenda for lunch. Again, talking about D... omg I feel imprison to be questioned a lot. But I have a smile on my face when talking about it so not like been forced to talk about it yet just talking like normal friends. D has been my teacher, teaching me maths and economics subjects in the past. Also one day, bump next to me and start playing Canon in D together on my keyboard piano. D suggested to Johnson of performing in CM - Bambie surprised to heard that. As her so called refresh back memory we got "clicked" during GMTC in July 2012. We were chatting in the pantry near main hall. That time we aren't that close really until this year very recent. That's very funny but is a sweet memory to reflect. Quiet and shy no longer exist in D's life I think, but sometimes still very quiet in the conversation especially not the person who are close with or well know. =) Admire the courage D has now for getting more confident in public.

I feel bad to start asking how's Bambie father going... as in my memory when I first met her last year about joining Jacaranda, her dad was her for business trip or something. As soon as she told me about what happened in her life about family, I started to feel sorry to ask and become serious in listening the whole struggles she went through till now. She is really tough and strong. I am completely have faith in her of blooming the way she want to be. 

Had a great chat and talking about Ex's how he brought me back into this beautiful practice; and her ex's broke up the relationship with her bro and she was engaged before. Never centered man in life, a lot of YWD shared this point (remind me Pei Woon - SG shared her experienced) and never stop developing on own. Also, I honestly shared how I feel about S&J. To involve more discussion in it rather than looks like having a lecture. Buddy Study is a great strategy to improve and she told me that a lot of groups success with this skill too yet it could be not ideally for S&J and need to be approved by the state or so. :-/ However she would like me to facilitate the training on coming Saturday S&J study session. Wow, that's a challenge but I would like to make a change and contribute. Isn't this a great opportunity for me to do something too? Besides, I told her I want to make bookmarks with Ikeda Sensei encouragement or short gosho on it. She start giving me ideas and acknowledge me there's a Spotlight at South Melbourne above Woolworths in the building on Market St. Wow I didn't really explore much around this area, such a shame. 

D buzz me a few times actually before having the meal and also during the meal. We are catching up after lunch. Bambie sent me home and D came down. Bought something for me to make the bookmark. It's a heart border punch from Officeworks and it's not cheap! Never stop making efforts of giving idea and advice to make pretty bookmarks and where to get craft things. D had experienced making badges with mum to give members. 


D told me of feeling down. There's so much happened today that I want to share and cheer up. About what's going on with training and sis asking +1, the catch up lunch conversation... 
=( I am feeling sad too for D, to protect bro and taking the blame of crashed company car. I just don't know what to say except for supporting. We went to the library to verified my proof of address and look around, D is super hungry because hasn't eaten anything at all since wake up; little bro wanted to play together so much but so tired and feeling sleepy lol.  
Then we head to Spotlight in Market St to look around if there's any cheap stuff for making bookmarks and the wool paper that I looking for too. I am so happy getting close everytime. =) Unfortunately can't get anything cheap in Spotlight and I gave up looking for it. Everytime I squad down and get up I just feel so faint - Am I low blood again? +_+ I craving to buy chips and is last day of financial year and the chips having promo 2 for $6 and is Rock Deli's. D generously paid my snacks today. =) Appreciated. Oh and D saw minions McD advertisement on TV, it will be start selling with Happy Meal tomorrow and I wanna have them in new collection! =p Well, Malaysia and Singapore having Kitty collection for Happy Meal now... 

D so tired, I can see as keep yawning as sign. =( So sorry but the companion just cheer both of us up in the end... We went back to the library as I want to borrow some magazines. D just eat up the chips just bought. >_< Gigantic eater =p Also I showed D about the art papers I have when we get back to my place. Speaking about the bro case again by Clarice and Ken, trying to support D as much as possible in the brighter point of view. Great and wonderful housemate really! D showed me The Blue Umbrella Clip on YouTube; D had watched Monster U =( BAD!!! Cause promised to watch with me maybe... :'( Now not anymore... 



Left at 5 something... Saw the popup message from bro in law status in Facebook of going to Costco with sis and Vincent... I really want to go! Never ever been :( Even mum went there! He then response never ask =.= I asked so many times and always tell me next time...ARGH! Then after awhile response actually this is short trip and planning another time on Tuesday morning. Ok, I have to go by myself there, see if I can make it by 10am. 

Was told have to take care of the house while they are away to Japan and need to stay overnight there. I'm cool with that as long as I can have the car for awhile to drive around then I am happy. 

Started to read the magazines just borrowed from the library and end up finished reading 6 out of 7. So efficiency >_< Really just flip through and skim on the gossip type magazines and read seriously on the BRW but they are last year mags so not really up to date. 


D snap this pic in the library building and meant to send to Ken but somehow sent to me! Haiyah~ I don't like Tai Chi yet at this stage. But remembering Dad once taught me how to do it at home one day. LOL


Clarice and Ken offered Carin to have some of the dishes they cooked for dinner but Lame lazy Carin  decided to skip dinner tonight and having chips in front of laptop reading magazines and Facebooking also YouTube video. Right before their dinner, they went to the gym, jealous. Was meant to do it too with D also swimming! Been thoughts of doing it for ages ago! Non-stop buzzing D. Can never stop teasing me. Tomorrow also an early day for both of us to go Holmesglen and fix up the mess that they created for most students. =.= Not to forgot meeting Denu at there about 9 or 9.30am once reach there to contact. Sigh! I just want things to be easy-going for re-enrol and stuff. I wanted to sell off my unused text books too to get back some money to use! Planning for a new phone already because iPhone driving me crazy almost everyday of lagging. Wanted to buy Village movie tickets for Students as it will be cheaper rather than paying full price of $16 instead of $10.50 voucher. But VU co-op bookstore charged $12.95 not sure if Holmesglen one charge the same old price still? The plan for tomorrow is World War Z at Crown Village though right after meeting. =) I like Village because the Medium Combo is $10. Hoyts Cinema candy bar sell expensive food and drinks.


One funny thing is I saw one of the Malaysian actor William San posting on his wall that posting out postcard to the first 10 who inbox him name and address. I did silly thing and really inbox him just right after a minute of seeing the status pop up immediately. Who knows he really response to me! That is the snap pic of the conversation below haha


D is jealous of me :p but I really never expect I would get response! What a highlight on my day. 

Somehow I saw someone posting about my favourite Taiwan online novel author - Hiyawu 藤井树that reminds me my first novel collection from him有个女孩叫Feeling》. I really like the story line and I can sense emotional while reading it from bitterness in every part and sweet of bitter ending too.  Manged to ask someone about where to buy the books online cheaper, and I found Kinokuniya in Sydney actually have stock on it and using the balance credit in my old credit card to purchase 3 books with express postage because trying to clear up the balance as possible. Initially wanting to get the one other 1 left on YesAsia to order as they have free international shipping but with minimum charges so I give up on that and maybe wait until I have more money. Below is a short paragraph from the first book I read:

听说,红色是思念;Heard that red is colour of missing;
因为思念让心胀红,让人憔弱。Because missing caused heart expand in red, caused people feel weak.

听说,蓝色是忧郁;Heard that blue is colour of depressed;
因为忧郁让心泛蓝,让人碎意。Because depressed caused heart feel blue, caused people feel heart-broken.

我不清楚蓝色,因为我不是蓝色系;I am not sure about the colour of blue, because I am not blue colour type;
但我了解红色,I understand red colour,
因为数年之后,我依然想念你…… Because few years had past, I still missing you......

D also showed me funny YouTube movie trailers:







Which are very interesting to watch lol
I also found some minions short clips which are new :










Expecting parcels and letters from HK and also Naruko & Kinokuniya deliveries from NSW. Also hoping to received some free samples that I have signed up from BuckScoop and PinchMe. The greatest place to know what items on deals or sales is OzBargain.
Love continuous playing the game on my iPhone - Gardens of Time and Move the Box!
End of the day very tired, yet want to blog this and feeling fulfilled and cheers! =) Goodnight!

XOXO

Chanting at Home

Dearest,

D went to Costco in the morning to get some lollies with family.
Only Kanta is coming over to chanting session because others are not free to join.
However Kanta missed the bus and arrive late. So I will have my brunch before that so I will have energy to chant with strong determination.
Surprisingly D bought some mini choco buns.
We chanted period of 1.40pm - 2.40pm.
Very thankful to Kanta leading and D able to make it today too and the chanting session is really good.

After that, we sent Kanta off. Before that D took us to Kanga Kanga to have a look on anime comics imported from Japan on somewhere near Russell St. While walking to the destination, we bump into Chin Yee near Southbank exit Flinders Station.

We sent off Kanta to Bourke St tram catching 86 back to LaTrobe. He stayed in the dormitory LaTrobe uni. Despite it is so far, yet he still have the strong determination to make it today chanting. =)

Then, went to Clearance on Swanston where Katrina suggested to go have a look as they sell really cheap stuff there. Unfortunately, didn't found any nice craft paper to use for making bookmarks to members. However, the ribbon is selling cheap there. End up went to Macca's for early dinner with D. I have ordered Cheeseburger meal with apple pie. I am so looking forward to Minions' collection Happy Meals at Macca's.

Josh - D younger brother crash the car and mum very worried about it. D took over the blame that made me so worried about the scold from dad. Seriously... =( I can't do anything about it except for chanting it to be better soon. Worrying whole night... short and not much responses. Fortunately, no one injured in the incident. =/ Still... I am worried...insomnia

:(

Dearest,

Woke up late at 1pm. Made roti canai & coffee. Nuggets for dinner. D home... 4am slept because of insomnia...

xoxo

Thursday, June 27, 2013

Not my final but I am excited!

Dearest,

Woke up at 5.15am to prepare brekkie. D left at 6am, really all the best of the hardwork. End up somehow D got to the wrong place where need to walk at least another 30 minutes to get to exam place. Oh well, I just gossiping whats happening on my Facebook and catch up some dramas again because is too difficult to fall back to sleep when you are completely awake. That fellow, finished exam in 45 minutes. Well technically 30 minutes and 15 minutes waiting to exit. Back at 11.30am. Practising piano while I watch dramas and eating chips. Friends of D keep inviting for movie telling D to hurry up put make up on and go LOL. XD

Yup, so went to Southbank Library to apply membership. But only allowed to borrow 2 items for now as need to show proof of address later so to borrow 50 items maximum which is a big WOW to me. The facilities in the library is enough for majority usage. They provide free wifi service, photocopy service, a lot of activities happening, blu-ray and latest dvd movie, mandarin and english books, magazines. It is just complete enough for me to use this kind of free service in my own community. I am happy to live here basically. Malaysia... always sucks...




After applied membership, went to VU to grab newspaper and Coles for something else. Then go home and prepare ingredients to bake Amos macadamia chocolate chips cookies. After dinner, play monopoly together for first time. Then only baking and used up all trays as much as possible as the cookie dough. Cutie fell asleep while showering. =) Had a long day...

A meaningful day to me

Dearest,

Kaya bread for brunch. Had a unhappy moment of arguing something stupid over again. Reached VCC by 3.10pm. Chanted 1 hour with Ciro. Meet D at Big W after, D got me mini food processor from Woolworth QV which they have extra deduction which cost $12 something for it. Then went to Big W to get bath wash and also monopoly set with extra 5 new limited edition golden tokens. It cost $25 which consider cheaper compare to Mindgames selling price at $70 minimum.


After that, went to Woolworth to get my exclusive available to Woolworth only ...

Maybe is my concern only, I feel that this face wash really helps on reducing marks on my face and I can see improvement. Also I have started using Naruko products which make a lot of improvement too that I can feel my face is more hydration than before. 

We roasted the chicken drumsticks with the lemon and herbs bought from Coles last night to try it out. By then we only can eat at 8pm when the chicken done. Clarice offered us some of the Nelayan beef rendang and veges. Clarice and Ken then play on the keyboard piano while we were eating. Then I make dessert using meringues, berries and ice-cream to served two pair of couples at home. D sang Over the rainbow <3 nbsp="" p="">





D sang me Bruno Mars - Just the way you are and D voice is very sweet~!
and I don't know actually Bruno Mars sing Marry You which I did like for quite sometime awhile ago.


Despite all the hardworking revision, D still making efforts to cheer up me. :')
Tiredness day overwhelm us to sleep by 11.30pm... zzz

Foggy in Melbourne; pollution in Malaysia & Singapore

Dearest,

Made pau for brekkie today. D away back to grab charger and music notes then studied in uni. I just having my usual routine relaxing enjoying chanting and drama time. Determined to chant for air pollution in Malaysia and Singapore to get better. Sent today guidance on whatsapp to everyone.
Chanting about 50 minutes today. Also received water bill that cost $50+ but due to rebate it cost $23.70 divided by 2 only $11.85.

Had a crazy discussion with D about D wanting to change gender. D just love to dress up like girl and wants to have boobs! =.=" This is freaking crazy to me because I don't want to become a LESBIAN! D uni friends are really good at photoshop to the picture that took at Mornington when we visited. OMG I must have to said they are very good in imagination and talented in turning D photo to various characters. Firstly, Ninja - Assassin Creed, football audience jumping, Legend of Aang - Legend of Korra, Man of Steel turn into MAng of Steel, and again turn into professional skateboarder, lastly, pole dancer with shirt on... This is all so weird to me as a pole dancer should be wearing less clothes and sexy bra perhaps lol. Unfortunately, D friend - George mentioned must keep G-rated pic. XD Just can't stop myself from laughing at it when I look at the pictures.

Monday 24/6/2013

Dearest,

D reached my place by 10am... that's pretty early =.= still sleeping hey! Don't really realise last night was actually Super Moon when the moon is horizon and appears closest to the Earth.
D spent time on studies and revision that afraid of the coming exam on Thursday. Watched HK dramas and have my noodles with coffee. Also did vacuum and laundry. Got a bit upset to discuss about money relate matters. After that, shower. Make roti canai and orange juice for late lunch. Make kaya after meal. This time we used 99.9% coconut Ayam brand to make our 3rd attempt kaya. 1st attempt using 83% coconut, 2nd attempt using 54% coconut which resulting complete failure. I like this third 3rd because is very smooth like my skin :p lol XD but D thinks that should be cook for more lower fire / heat. D measures the ingredients and prepare them in the pot, what I do is just by constantly stiring at it.



No dinner. D nap while I watching drama and knitting. Clarice kind enough to lend us car to go for tonight's meeting. Chanting 45 minutes today. Send Hiromi on LaTrobe st and drop off Katrina home. Sarah and Hui Xuan talked to me before I left the meeting venue. After that, we drop by Coles South Melbourne to get groceries done. End up buying quite a lot of stuff. Finally got Meringues near the bread shelf for making dessert. Also got 2 lemons to make lemon cakes. We have kaya bread for late dinner and we continue watching HK dramas. Shower like 1am and play Crash Tag Team Racing on PSP again before bed.

Curry Laksa time! Despicable Me 2!

Dearest,

I woke up pretty late today, like 12.15pm and the lunch gathering is happening at 1pm~! All of the faults of staying up late playing on PSP... Meh... D blogged that woke up early but laid in a comfy position =.="

Luckily we have bought the ingredients needed for today invited guests. Clarice and Ken had already clear up the space in the living room as well as dump the rubbish. How nice of them! They even went out to buy some tongsui (desserts) for everyone. Only Johnson will be coming and extra guest of Tip joining today lunch. D already start to prepare the laksa soup and soaking those rice vermicelli for ready to boil.

Johnson arrived nearly 1.30pm. I am quiet person really, don't know how to start conversation with people. I must master up my communication skill.
I have to pick up Tip from the Flinders but she called that moment already lost somewhere near Southbank area so I need to go out. By the time, crossing BMW lights, I bump into Clarice and Ken and they were on the way back to home. They asked me why I didn't tell them to pick up Tip. Oh well, I guess I pick up will be better, can't find an excuse to mention >_<" maybe cause I invited Tip. Johnson also brought us some Jocaroons! yummy


.




We have a lot of fun conversation together and Johnson is actually working as mystery shopper which I always wanted to do and I actually have a certificate for it but I must pass another test then only I could start working. This is back then in 2011 when I first came to Melbourne, hunting very hard to get a job to survive. Johnson always have a lot of food with pizzas and chicken perhaps :p I'm so jealous - can eat can earn pocket money too.

Johnson has to leave around 3 something, before that Ken helped him to install Tom Tom on his Galaxy Note 2, everyone in the house using Android except dumb dumb Carin - iOS iPhone 4 mehhhh! I'm gonna get Samsung S4 for my birthday... as it because my phone also getting dumb dumb  on working anymore! ARGH!

Tip is catching up with Erica at 4pm. I would love to join them so after Johnson had left, we helped out a bit in the kitchen to clear up the mess and big Thanks to Clarice for dish washing and D on wiping dishes and also doing the cooking today. >_<"

Erica slightly surprised that D and I joined the meetup today. We walked all the way up to Passion Flower for more sweet tooth!


Ice-cream on winter~! Chilly~

After a great catch up with Erica we headed to Melbourne Central. Dismiss near clock, Erica gave D a hug XD lol

We went to get tickets for Despicable Me2 this time! URGH still, can't get a nice seats, however we managed to get to seats together at least but sitting 3rd row in front on the side at 8.50pm. D was making annoying whistle sound while queuing up - I am angry because its rude to whistle in public. A bit terrible stuff up when we were in the kitchen this noon, he told me not to yell at him - which actually I have to admit I sometimes do raise my voice volume up but it does not mean I am yelling, its just that I am getting panic and worries. He acknowledged me to me he can't whistle is it, and I firmly responded yes! =.=" I just so damn angry don't know why and tell D off very badly. =/

Finally, queue up for the popcorns and drinks. Going to claim the hard earn points for the candy bar. Don't know why HOYTS sell them expensive! =.= And the cashier that served us nearly causing me to vomit blood and raising my high blood pressure. He claimed that it is impossible to claim the combo which I showed him from the website. Well, if you can't let people to claim it then it should not be posted on the website and causing mislead in advertising. If I pick that point out of to the manager with my law book with me, I am pretty sure I am on the winning side completely. To sort out the problem, he allowed to claimed points separately for the popcorns and drinks.

Despicable Me2 is so hilarious. Everyone always laughing at the minions silly actions. They are cute and adorable. Few scenarios that I really love...













My favourite quote now is "Butt...hahahahaha" =p Which I have it on my facebook cover page.


D always make fun of this quote...It really does make me roll on floor laughing out loud... 
I also found a cute picture of these...





Goodnight <3 p="">

Lame

Dearest,

D always.. always.. organise the bed, make brekkie... despite having exam today make no exception for D to keep up making efforts for everything. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Today D gonna have first paper in the afternoon. I have to keep up my work - translation and submit it to my boss too. And I get to finished up and proofread before submission. Went down to VU Bookstore on Flinders St to get student voucher for HOYTS cinema and meet D up and go home. D finished exam late because examiners late for exam! OMG This is ridiculous seriously... Lame excuses.

According to plan, there will be a dinner with Ammie tonight at 7pm. I assuming it is a family dinner perhaps? However, actually it was a spontaneous meetup because bro suppose to go movie with colleagues while Ammie dinner with me. Meh... he is sick... Oh well, we organised to meet at Melbourne Central clock next to Telstra. She cut her fringe off, beautiful as usual. We went to Kokoro Ramen because I like there compare with Ajisen Ramen. The Ajisan Ramen one in Malaysia sucks. While we reached the restaurant, it is full of people, c'mon Friday night!~ Errr.... Been standing for quite sometime and D asked me to put the time close to the one above. Somehow we managed to sit in the small table with an extra seat in middle around the corner. Ammie treated us for our meal, she immediately could recognised the relationship of us. ;-) Have a great catchup and we meant to go for Despicable Me2 in HOYTS Melbourne Central. Ammie gonna get bro some congee from Paparich for his dinner. So nice of her! >_<" I hope one day she's gonna be my ah sou (sister-in-law).

D and I went to HOYTS but with the super long queue and last minute purchase ticket, we failed to get the seats and it's sold out both Despicable Me2 and World War Z. =( Unhappy! We end up went for a walk around with unhappy mood because I am so f up the plan we meant to do. D always lack of idea what to do... I am a bit annoyed of that. I just want to walk around~ Meh

End up we did nothing much and walk home. So D is starting holidays sem break. Lacking of idea what to do... And I have another 4 weeks of holidays to go.. Seriously something fun needed to be done! 

Also, Tip called me to catch up as she couldn't reach Erica. We all meant to catch up however I totally forgot about it by marking in my diary. I invited her to the lunch tomorrow at my place because is fun to have more people to join rather than only Johnson?

Playing on PSP is getting addicted on Crash Tag Team Racing with D. BomberMan not so much because it is killing the computers which they always end up winning - not fair ~_~! Added the same pic that D used too! haha minigame in Crash Tag Team - Bowling! You can cheat and make the bowl jump by pressing O keke so funny, really enjoy the laughter moments

20.6.2013

Dearest,

Feeling much better today... Ken came back not long after D arrived at 12.20pm. He went to VicRoads for his license and working home two days as no one will be in the office. Anyway, home is always the most comfy place to work and stay.

After that D left for uni again to do revision for tomorrow exam. I am glad, D arms getting better each day after the incidents. Me... still keep working hard. I finished my work up to page 4 only. Then I left the house, meet D at the station and went to Footscray to get curry laksa ingredients Yong Tau Foo for Saturday lunch with Johnson. We are quite hungry as both of us had no lunch today. Then decided to eat Pho for dinner before heading back home. Not quite satisfied yet even after dinner =p Naughty us got 2 doughnuts near the Footscray Railway Station for our dessert.

D received wireless silent mouse that wanted for ages ago. Also the parcel came with lollies as an appreciation to the customers which I pretty surprised in Western Country and D received for the first time. Finally, peace in my room... lol XD

Distinction

Dearest,

Today brekkie was made by someone special, same as yesterday... Roti Canai! Mmm... never get bored of it as it's always my favourite...lalala...

D left to uni while I have to continue working... =( Trying my very best to finish up the work as soon as possible as due date is on Wednesday. I received Business Law for Marketers result around 2.30pm and I got 78 marks as Distinction! I am grateful enough because I am happy with Distinction.

D bought 2x 500g steamboat random meats from Laguna and we use the Lee Kum Kee chicken paste (I think mum bought them ages ago when she's here) as soup for the steamboat. I accidentally put 2 and a half of the rice vermicelli, probably a bit too much as I eat very little... I wonder why my appetite has actually gone down during holiday.

After quick dinner, we going to meeting together tonight. We had left the apartment not long after, my housemate give me a ring to lend me her car to meeting. It was rainy and chill, D still sick, so I take her offer without delay.

Purva is leading chanting tonight, surprisingly enough to see Pinky and Amrita tonight and heard a lot of thoughts. We discussed about good and evil prepared by Katrina and Janet. Have not seen Raj for awhile, I wonder how is he doing...hmm....after the meeting, I decided to send Katrina home because its very chilly and we have no rush to somewhere.

After dropping her home, we went to Coles in South Melbourne for groceries, end up spending $62 for everything... geez... =(

Home. Continue working...

Sunday double date candle light dinner

Dearest,

Always woke up late due to laziness... such a terrible habit. I made a Malaysian style of roti canai for brekkie. Really love these roti canai from Malaysia. These can be found in Footscray Yong Tau Foo shop selling price $2.77. I bought an extra pack yesterday and it was actually selling $2.50. I was cheated last time! Oh well, they reduced the price which is less costly compare to the plain one with another brand which only having 5 pieces $2.70!  

After brekkie, somehow I would like to clear up the mess in my Butsudan drawers while Ken was cleaning up and rearrange the kitchen stuff. So I supposed it was a good day for "Spring .... errr Winter cleaning". LOL Clarice went to VCC attend memorial chanting of Eiko-san. I have no idea who she is. Mmm...anyway I keep her in prayer when I was informed the news about her pass away in early week.
Clarice intended to purchase another heater and I suggested Bunnings because they selling cheaper heater. I whatsapp her the model I want to get because I didn't went out with her today. She called me back and telling me the model is out of stock and received a lot of complaints told by the Bunning's staff. And she whatsapp me another model which she is going to get. Personally, I dislike using radiant or oil fin heater (Had used it before when staying at studio alone that time in Footscray) except for ceramic fan heater as they are able to function as a fan during warmer days. And tower fan heater is convenient for storage purpose (Victor's has got one at his room which I really like it). Besides, it has got remote control with time control. Unfortunately I have to rethink if I should get it at other store due to unknown of staying in Australia in the near future as it is not cheap and I will complete my studies by next winter around June. I should be able to cope with this small heater with the warm of D next to me somedays. =)



We had Coles Nuggets for our lunch...
While continuing working on  my laptop, D is not giving up of looking the songs name on my beautiful blogs that I have got hahaha. Such a stubborn yet attractive personality when doing something serious. Ken is cooking curry chicken tonight! He had bought a lot of A1 curry chicken paste at Box Hill yesterday. Yum~ Clarice and I craving for it so much because we haven't had for a long time. D went out and help Ken out while I keep working hard there. =) such a caring lovely dear.
Clarice and I been working at our own room, when the dinner is ready we were called by the handsome gentlemen. ;) With the beautiful romantic music playing in the background increase the lovely atmosphere. The silverware love heart design with a red candle on top of it was used on the table. How lovely is that to match the atmosphere haha ;)

Lazy Saturday

Dearest,

Got up quite late today. Lazy bump! Had the last piece of cake which was bought to the birthday boy few days ago. I am craving for more! My stomach was still playing the drum after awhile. And decided to finish off the Korean instant noodles that Lily bought to the meeting back then long time ago. It taste yummy because all food is delicious especially when you are in super hungry mood.

I should have buy a box of this noodle because it taste better than indomee. I get bored of the mee goreng flavour.

D somehow start searching my name on Google. Damn it! I should have never post anything about myself so that next time I won't be found online when employer checking on me :o
I felt very touch when skimming what I have written back then. I know I have abandon my blog again. To see the growth in myself through D view, I don't realise I actually growth a lot, I really proud of myself. All the memories that can never be erased.

My day was very fluctuate due to my PMS! How I hate to suffer monthly thingy~ ARGH!
We left Southbank to go different places individually but on the same train line. There's a mission to do today. I was supposed to meet Katrina at Footscray by 1.50pm, my late karma come back again... D went to Werribee to pick up game >.<"

Met Katrina in front of Commonwealth Bank and we head towards Marcia and Ricardo place to visit them and the new born baby girl Victoria Miyuki ^.^ We were warmly welcome by Ricardo. Marcia just got up not long ago because of taking care of Vicky.

Poor Marcia have to fee Vicky nearly 12 to 13 times a day to make sure she is growing weight. Can see that how hard a mother take care a new born baby without any knowledge. Ricardo is a good caring husband and father :) He cook for the family after work. Hopefully their house will be finish building by September. Fortunately Marcia mummy is here to take care Vicky especially during night hours when the parent need a bit of rest from the tiredness of whole day long.


A precious little gift from the couple as a memory for visiting. ^.^ They are really sweet. <3 p="">
D and I must reach home by 5.15pm as we are going to dinner with housemates and the booking is at 6pm St Kilda. Well the exact location is consider at Balaclava.  D is still on the way on train. Katrina and I went to bought can opener and search for a trolley because it is requested by D for easier carriage during marketing. However it is quite pricey to buy from Footscray because Katrina saw one of the shop in city selling $10. Then we went to the Yong Tau Fu shop to buy some paus, roti canai from Malaysia. Nowadays I just hardly survived without them. I wonder what will I be craving if back in Malaysia from Melbourne? Must be Max Brenner ! Aye....such a chocoholic and alcoholic girl...~

I knew I definitely forget to buy something. D reminded me of The Singapore spicy and dry instant noodle...  while we already waiting train at station, I decided to walked back because I really want it and rarely come to Footscray anymore since there are nothing much except for marketing.

I was very moody while nearly reach Flinders Station... =( I am so naughty... we had a little unhappy moment... I refused to go dinner... Wan Lian saw us in the corner of Southbank Boulevard/Kavanagh and greet us. Feel a bit shame in public... but feel total disrespect again and again sigh..

When we arrived back home, the couple actually just reached not long. They went to Boxhill due to the medicare opened on Saturday as Asian are consider "hardworking" type in western country. They bought quite a lot of curry paste yum! I am expecting to be the tester one of the day hahaha And not to forget to mention about the tambun biscuit... Love it so much~ Have not eaten for very long while... Sis love to eat them so much. Each of us have one of tambun biscuit in a pack.

D received email from teacher that saying the assignment was submitted wrongly. D was very upset and panicking if penalties or failure in subject. I believed teacher has felt something wrong and asking explanation would really care about the students. Therefore, as long as it is fact and acceptable reasons there will be no penalty apply. We left The Sentinel about 5.30pm, Ken is our driver tonight. We have a good chat in the car. It took us awhile to reach the destination however we found a good spot to park the car next to a petrol station. The night is quite chilly.

The place we went is named En 宴. It is a Japanese fusion restaurant. The dishes are considered very pricey for my class and the portion is quite small too. We ordered 6 dishes and 3 rices to shared. My alcoholic mood comes again when there is Umeshu =p Unfortunately the ice cubes have covered the original beauty sweetness of the Umeshu.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is really cosy and comfortable.







Ken treated us with honour. Appreciated to him and Clarice. They are really nice people, nice housemates, nice friends to be with. I am so fortunate to meet them in my life. Helping so much in every aspect of my life regardless tough or easy time that I went through. 

We had a walk around to seek if there's any dessert place we could go. We went into a video rental store as Clarice felt a bit cold to walk. Then we walk back to our car and ready to go home. 

The night does not just end with the dinner... We spent time in living room, chat, playing piano, enjoying every bit of moment with everyone doing different things together in the same place. All of them craving a bit of sweet tooth except for me. It is a very weird thing as I always crave for sweets. 

Well, I just enjoyed playing my piano keyboard that I have not touch for so long...  I miss playing all the music I like in the song bank list. After that, 3 of us do our evening gonkyo and chanting together. It is short but I felt great after all.

Overall I think I have spent quality time with loves one today... Appreciate of everything that had happened today. Goodnight~ 1.27am 16.6.2013
