Hei Beautifuls,

I was just browsing around the net and I saw this "this or that makeup tag" from Beautymeetskawaii - Melanie's blog. It's kinda fun so I am adopting the tag game and do it myself ^^

Makeup:
Blush or Bronzer? BLUSH....love love my blush....la la la la. Bronzer's cool but since I am kinda new with fancy makeup techniques so I'll give that a temporary pass ^^

Lipgloss or Lipstick? I was a lipgloss girl. But sometimes when they are sticky, it pisses me off when my hair sticks on it >.< Having said that, I am both ways. I like the way lipstick leaves a tint after it kinda wears off but I always top off my lipstick with a gloss. *greedy ...hehe*
Eyeliner or Mascara? MASCARA....I love you ^^
Foundation or Concealer? Foundation
Neutral or Coloured Eyeshadow? Neutral!! Well just think that I like to play safe....
Pressed or Loose Eyeshadow? Pressed. Just that Loose is kinda messy to deal with.
Brushes or Sponges? Brushes for sure....and fingers *teehee*

Nails:
Long or Short? I love mid length nails...not too long or short. But if I have to choose only 1...it's definitely gonna be short. I'm a scientist....I won't want to pierce through my gloves get get the nasties on my bare hands >.<
Acrylic or Natural? Natural all the way ^^ *although my nails are kinda thin*
Brights or Darks? Brights for my finger and dark for my toes......only to choose 1......brights
Flower or no Flower? Depends on my mood.

Body:
Perfume or Body Splash? Perfume *smells wrist....nice nice...*
Lotion or Body Butter? Lotion
Body Wash or Soap? Body Wash.

Fashion:
Jeans or Sweat Pants? Jeans....unless I am at home.....sweats
Long Sleeve or Short? Short
Dresses or Skirts? BOTH.........seriously both!!
Stripes or Plaid? Not really a fan of either of them...but if I really have to choose it'll be strips - VERTICAL STRIPS!
Flip Flops or Sandals? Sandals.....but I like flip flops too ^^
Scarves or Hats? Scarves for sure....I look funny in hats
Studs or Dangly Earrings? Dangly jinglly all the way ^^ Studs occasionally
Cowboy Boots or Riding Boots? Riding boots.....I guess
Jacket or Hoodie? JACKETS!!! but I like my owl hoodie

Hair:
Curly or Straight? Body curl.....but I have naturally straight hair till ppl kept asking me did I straighten my hair!!
Bun or Ponytail? Ponytail. Normally, when I am at home/wash my face it'll be in a bunnytail (part bun part ponytail)...is that even a word?
Bobby Pins or Butterfly Clips? Bobby Pins
Hair Spray or Gel? Hair Spray.....no likey gel....weird feeling >.<
Long or Short? Long......Mr.CK likes it long too ^^
Light or Dark? Dark...but have a hint of colour like brunette
Side-swept Bangs or Full Bangs? I used to have side-swept bangs....now *in which I just got a hair cut* I have a full bangs!!!! I like it.....I look really young, Mr.CK kept laughing at it....he tried styling it as Arron Kwok bangs *ish......pissed*
Up or Down? I usually have my hair down...but sometimes at work I am required to have it up when I am doing experiments

Random:
Rain or Shine? At the moment, I am liking Mr.Sunshine ^^ When I was in Malaysia, I love it when it's raining.....absolutely beautiful. Anyho.....I love to sit by the window with a cup of tea/coffee and a book while it's raining....AHHHhhhhhh.....so relaxing!
Summer or Winter? I like spring and autumn........if I have to choose, it'll be winter! Because I can always pile on clothes to keep warm and I can't peel my skin off to keep cool in the summer.
Fall or Spring? Spring......dresses..I can wear ncie clothes ^^
Chocolate or Vanilla? CHOCOLATE......how can you not like choco >.<

Now done ^^

It's your turn to do it if you are interested ^^

Dry Marbling on Nails

2011-10-18T20:33:00.000+10:30

Hei Beautifuls,

I was itching to try water marbling for my nails ages ago. However,I did not get on doing it as I think that it's kinda messy to deal with. Then, the story change after I read these innovative idea of dry marbling on zip lock bags from Kitties26 and Enamel Girl. Awesome awesome idea, and so I did my try last Sunday.

How did my take go?? PICTURE TIME ^^

These are the colours I used (from L to R)
Ulta3 Spring Fling, Poppy, Plum Violet, Face of Australia Amethyst, Sally Hansen White On

First, I painted a white base. Then, I added strips of colour:
After that, I took a toothpick and draw lines from top to bottom. Leave to dry for about 2 hours!
Sally Hansen White On, Face of Australia Amethyst, Ulta3 Plum Violet, Poppy, Spring Fling
You will need quite a think layer of polish so that it does not dry out and crack when dry!!

This is the result.
You then peel it out using a pair of tweezers. Then, prep you nail with a strengthener or base that you prefer.
Then, paint on a layer of nail polish. I used OPI's Argenteeny Pinkini. WAIT for 4-5 minutes for the polish to get tacky. Place the marble nail polish on your nail and smooth it out. Use the tweezers to cut off the excess and WALLAH you got your marble nail ^^

Left Hand

Right Hand

I have received compliments from my colleagues. I LOVE IT. It's so much easier!!!

Just for you information, I used 1 small piece of marble nail polish for my thumbs and 1 small piece for 2 other nails. Did I make sense???? For 1 hand I used 3 small marble polish. I also cut out a small piece of marble polish from the big slab of marble polish for both of my big toes ^^

Give it a try!!!

My New Splurge Toy: Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

2011-10-17T11:01:00.000+10:30

Hei Beautiful....

After wandering sround Mecca Cosmetica for I-don't-know-how-many-times, I finally decided to splurge on a product. I swatched and swatched and swatched, just like how you would go crazy playing with all the colours and I came down to a decision that I will buy a good primer.

I've heard about urban decay primer potion and all, but I can't get my hands on it. Thus, I got my hands on the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base! I have yet to use it BUT once I got around playing with it, I will let you guys know how I feel. I am currently using the Face of Australia's matte primer, and it does not fulfill my criteria as a good primer. So, after paying $49 it better give me something ^^

Oh...oh....everyone like GFP, so I got the Mecca To Save Face SPF30+ Sunscreen!!!! I don't know how well it works and looking forward to try it after I am done with my current sunscreen ^^

Bottom to top: Nars Box, e/s base, sunscreen
*sorry for the wrong orientation, it's importaed from my phone >.^*

Model's Prefer Brushes Review

2011-10-12T14:02:00.001+10:30

Hei beautifuls!

I have been disappeared for some time and back with some post at the back of my brain. First post, I am gonna review 2 Model's Prefer Brushes. How did they fair? After reading some reviews on blogs, youtubes and beauty sites. There are some mixed reviews regarding their brushes. Most of them turn out to be positive, but I beg to differ!

(1) Model's Prefer Crease Brush (blending brush)

picture from priceline

I bought this brush with the thought that I will have an extra 1 when I am cleaning out the other blending brush I have from Sigma (which I love). I was so happy after I bought it and used it immediately after I get home to find out that it's actually VERY PRICKLY! I thought after washing it with a conditioner will be better but it's still prickly!

(2) Model's Prefer Stipling Brush

picture from priceline

I also bought this to serve as an extra. As my Sigma stipling brush is kinda shedding I was hoping that this brush would not. Sadly to announce, the MP's stipling brush sheds more than my Sigma and that I have to pick out each "fur" from my after after applying my liquid foundation with it. Total disaster. Don't ever ever buy this! Other than that, it's also very prickly >.<

All in all, my thoughts are firm that I will not buy another brush from them unless they change the conditions of their brushes. After cleaning all my brushes yesterday, I made a decision to chuck the 2 brushes in the bin. Sad and a waste of money, I know. But what's there to do when they just sit on my table and serve as an eye sore!!

So, have you tried any of their brushes? Let me know ^^

Current LOVED Mascara - Fasio

2011-08-20T18:32:00.002+09:30

As I was saying about the failed mascara, I just thought I should show you guys my current LOVED mascara. I bought this back in March while I was back in Malaysia.

I have read so much about this brand which is a sister of Kose in Japan --> Fasio. This is the Fasio Hyper Stay Mascara Magne-Plus Curl Long (for length) in black. I also have another mascara but it's the Curl Volume (for volume) in brown. I have been using the Curl long and loved don't ever get panda eyes from this mascara and my curls were held sky high until I remove them! It's all that I want in a mascara.

Sleek packaging

Comb wand - very easy to control and use, also gets every single lashes

The one in the box is curl volume (brown) and the opened curl length (black)

I also thought I should share my trustee eyelash curler as well ^^ Behold the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler. I heard about the hype ever since I started getting into makeup about 2 years ago, but I never got my hands on it until last march and it was LOVED!

Just had a random thought ^^ hahaha....I love my PJ's owl prints!!! *squeals*

1st Beauty Fail Product

2011-08-19T10:54:00.002+09:30

Hei there peeps, I have always wanted to integrate beauty reviews/ideas into my blog but I've never gotten into it. So, now while my blogging bug still hangs around I shall move on to it ^^

The 1st stop is a mascara that failed me >.< No biggie as I have typical asian lashes which sticks straight down if I don't curl them up and paint mascara over them! This mascara which have quite a good review, so I thought I would give it a try when Priceline - a local drugstore here in Oz - was having it on sale at $10.

With great anticipation let's get to know who this is : Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara Waterproof Formula

It may be a HG (holy grail) product for those girl who have long luscious lashes. But for me, my moment of glory starts with curling my lashes with shu uemura eyelash curler and end moments later with the mascara. It weight down my lashes so much that it does not perk up and worsen the situstion --> lashes point pin straight! Sigh.....however, I think it's a good mascara to use on the bottom lashes. So far so good, I will definitely report back whether it gives me panda eyes or not!!!

The Best and Worst (Chinese Restaurant Edition)

2011-08-19T09:50:00.001+09:30

Hei peeps!!!

I know I know, I MIA-ed for like eon years! You know there's a bug called the "blogging bug" - which tend to infect me in certain time of the year. That's why I don't blog often! *reasons reasons....I have a 1mil of them!*

Right, since I am Malaysia Chinese (DOH~) I think I have quite a good taste bud family on my tongue! I am gonna write this column dedicated to those in Adelaide looking for AWESOME Chinese food. (Disclaimer: This is solely the authors honest opinion, no disrespect to the restaurant and do not hold any credits)

The worst I have eaten, thus far ---> J restaurant (chinatown)

Man, this restaurant don't have great service but suffice. However, the food is horrible. As a Chinese, I feel bad >.< I think that my home cook food is far better than it. Among the 9 of us dining last Friday, we all have a unified opinion that out of the 7 dishes that we ordered, only 1's good. That's like 14.29% out of a total 100%....a FAIL grade...sheeh..but still the reviews on the net gave them a 70% HOW CAN THAT POSSIBLY HAPPEN? Oh...I forgot something, the tea has BUGS in them. Well, this is to show they have stored the tea incorrectly! All in all a total disaster! I/we will never go and dine in there again!!

Atmosphere: 3/5 *quite grand looking*
Food: 1/5
Service: 2/5
Price: 2/5 *quite cheap BUT I don't think its worth the price*

The best I have eaten, thus far ---> Walkerville Chinese Restaurant (vale park)
Oh Mee GOD!!! Best food EVER..........Chinese/Malaysian/Asian whatever you wanna call it. It's freaking awesome..I just can't say how awesome awesome AWESOME the food here is..YUMMO!!! Must try the Belacan vege, nyonya curry chicken, chilly prawns......etc etc etc SO GOOD.....Malaysians --> hey you are gonna miss home food so much more now!! The service is a little slow cuz it's a family business BUT the owners are really nice!!!! So fun to talk with and give great recommendations^^ We're heading in tonight for chilly crab ^^ *the season is ending soon...those who wanna try please pre-book the crabs...oh and the table too..* I definitely give them 100% ...eating there had been so much fun!! To eat and enjoy is a great satisfaction *love love*

Atmosphere: 4/5 *kinda small but welcoming*
Food: 5/5
Service: 4/5 *1 point off for a tad bit slow*
Price: 4/5 *worth the food...so worth it....sound like loreal's adv "because you are worth it" hahahaha*

Great.....signing off now ^^

p/s: still not feeling 100% in health yet.....i am gonna be so dead tomorrow >.^

Idiot No.2

2011-07-19T11:09:00.000+09:30

DISHEARTENED by IDIOTS

2011-07-01T14:43:00.000+09:30

Dear diary,

I am sad to say that after today marks my 2nd attempt on driving exam. I am "glad" to announce that I FREAKING FAILED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! Why is there always IDIOTS when you don't want them to appear the most?? Why do they always ALWAYS appear when they are most NOT NEEDED!!!!!

The 1st time I fail, I accept the fact that I did fail to give why as there's an obstruction in my direction. BUT, today is a FREAKING IDIOT causing the trouble. It's HARD....freaking hard to accept the fact that I was wrong!!! I AM WRONG!!!!! By not seeing your LAST MINUTE SIGNAL to turn left into my intersection!!!!!! URGH........just because I am L trying to pass my exam, why can't you be nice and indicate earlier????? Just because of that, I have to FREAKING emergency break *which my examiner did it before me....longer legs and reflex* and there goes my licence!!!!

GAH........I am disheartened!!! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! So so sad, that I don't know what to do now other that writing out my anger!!!!!! Typing furiously, so furious that I managed to break my record of producing a post in less that 5 minutes!!!!!!!! Thank you but no thank you!!!!

Just so pissed.....at least there's a reduction in level......WTF!

I better sign off, before I swear even more and get crazy >.<

Piggy

Egg in a Basket

2011-03-19T12:31:00.000+10:30

I was just having some spare time to browse through some blogs that I follow and a recipe caught my eye

EGG IN A BASKET

Looks kinda difficult but it's definitely NOT! I saw this from cloverbeautyinn. I looks so yummy and I had to send it to Mr.CK.

So, this morning we decided to try and make it. Mr.CK did 90% of the job ^^ See, guys can do a good job ^^

cloverbeautyinn have a pictorial guide to make this but I will do mine too. It will be shown below, if you want a more detailed one, go to cloverbeautyinn ^^

First, cut the bread with a cookie cutter, but we just use a wine glass to cut. I don't suppose it matters as long as it's round
Then, generously place some butter on top.

Place the buttered side down on to a pan (flat) and crack an egg in the hole. Add some more butter on the topside of the bread. When it's almost done, flip it!

Cook for a few seconds and place it onto a plate (Just because we all love to eat half cooked egg....the runny yolk^^) If you want a cooked egg, then cook it for longer ~1 minute.

Then, serve with you other sides for a full breakfast! Our's continental version ^^

Hope that you guys will try it and enjoy ^^

WTF!!

2011-03-01T22:05:00.000+10:30

Sigh.......I think I lost my canon charger!! BUGGER THAT!!!!

I have to procrastinate! ISH ISH...... >.<

Hopefully, my $10.00 purchase will come soon ^^

I have been doing my nails alot now....this week I am having little dotted flowers. SADLY, with a flat battery on my camera and nothing to charge..I can't take any and load any >.<

Ah well........*pray pray....fingers cross* come soon come soon come soon!!

^^

My first Valentine

2011-02-18T12:17:00.000+10:30

Since I haven't been blogging for some time, THIS will be a super long blog with pictures ^^ Mainly for my own diary and record purpose^^

After 24 years of celebrating Valentines alone, this is the 1st Valentine that I've celebrated!! *not that I am desperate. It's just very memorable despite it was just yesterday*

What have I received for present??
In actual fact, I received presentS!! I got a Pandora bracelet with 5 charms; 20 stalks of roses (suppose to be 19 as it meant something special to the both of us) and a fine dinning meal at Namaste Nepalese Restaurant!! Speaking of something different, the food is somewhat a combination of Indian and Chinese. I'll show you what we've got (all descriptions are obtained from Namaste Nepalese Restaurant) :

Entree: Mismaas - Mixed Platter
Combination of Momo, Tareko Machha, Samosa, Sekewa and Phulaura served with a mint and yoghurt sauce and a tomato (achar) sauce.

Main: Machha Tarkari - Fish Curry
Aromatic fish curry (Barramundi) cooked with onion and tomatoes infused with the flavours of green chilli, ginger, garlic, fresh coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, fresh curry leaves, yoghurt, vinegar and coconut milk.

Main: Kukhura Ko Masu - Mild Chicken Curry
Traditional Nepalese country cuisine (boneless chicken) prepared in aromatic Nepalese spices with ground cashew nuts.

Dessert: Namaste Ice Cream
Chef's special ice cream made from pistachio nuts and flavoured with cardamom and blended with full cream milk.

Nepalese Tea

The atmosphere of the restaurant is fairly nice. It has thoughtful decorations and very nice hosts! The food's good and something out of the norm. Mr. CK thought that we should get something different that the normal Western or Italian ^^. Apparently, this restaurant is very popular!! We dine in there on the Saturday before Valentines and it's a full house. I can't imagine it on the very day! Well, if you would like something different, that's a restaurant to try ^^ BUT, bear in mind that they don't do entertainment card discounts....still worth it. Nonetheless, it would be best if it does it ^^

Alrighty, I better put this post up and update my home made valentine dinner later ^^

Stupid Emotional Breakdown

2011-02-18T12:15:00.000+10:30

For some reason, I was very irritatable *is that a word?*

Got pissed of numerous things....BAH!

Let me set a resolution here ==> I should try not to breakdown so easily! Think...calm....SMILE!

Hmmm.....I wonder how well will this work? Hehehehe....

Done rambling.....happy now ^^

This made me smile ^^ So CUTE...

A joke or the truth

2010-11-12T15:10:00.001+10:30

While I was walking pass the hospital, I can't stop my hand to reach for the "pick your joke of the day" basket. Today, I got a yellow colour paper that speaks kinda the truth....I swear that guys *yea you guys...as in males* will darn agree with the points. Without further ado, let's get to it:-

Pity the man who isn't aware of these vital elements of female communication.

When a woman is addressing her partner, the following definitions apply:

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

FIVE MINUTES

If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING

This is the calm before the storm. This means "something", and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing" usually end in "Fine".

GO AHEAD

This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "loud sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing"

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistakes.

THANKS

A woman is thanking you.Do not question it or faint. Just say you're welcome.

Now, MALES isn't that so true to you??? And my fellow FEMALES, we all know that some of the above may not apply....ain't it??? *snickers....hahahahaha*

Have a laugh.....that's what life's about ^^

Random Tuesday Post

2010-11-09T13:01:00.000+10:30

So it happens......

This morning when I was walking to work after CK dropped me off, I spotted this "murder" case - refer picture:

Orange murdered along North Terrace
Time of death unknown
skin was dissected and plunged through the gate fence's spear

On another note: My suppose to be "standing" Tacos are no longer standing after being treated in the microwave...Yaya..I know about the water condensation thingy happening in there and thus causing it to be soggy!! I still taste yummy but I just have to eat it with a fork ^.<

still standing Tacos

"Lazy" taco that does not stand and being eaten by MUA with a fork
YUMMEH

Mood Swings??

2010-10-27T09:42:00.000+10:30

Gosh......My moods have been changing ever so fast and weird! Why....why why???

Whatever it is, I am more so ever sensitive to words and gesture. People who know me, knows that I am a super cry baby >.<

Aih...is it because I am sick or what!!

-end of ranting-

Phore Season Restaurant

2010-09-24T15:27:00.001+09:30

CK decided to give me a surprise 3 month anniversary dinner without letting me know where we are heading for dinner. I was only given the notice/ instruction to “wear nicely” = alternatively means we're heading for a fine dine OR normally I just don't dress up enough *which i am not...wakakakaka*

Apparently, CK as always, did his research and found out that the restaurant has achieved the “Finalist Status in the ITALIAN category 2010 of the Restaurant & Catering SA Natural Gas Awards for Excellence”, not to mention their other achievements throughout the years.

We had decided to go full on with the dinner à which mean a 3 course meal!! I read through the menu and order food that caught my eye and "sounds" delicious *I know you can't hear food....but trust me, they are yelling at YOU---not literally! XD* We wanted to order dessert at the beginning, but the waiter was like "have a go at your food and you can order the dessert later when you know how much space you have left!". THANK GOODNESS we listened to him...hahaha....we were BLOATED! So, we only ordered one dessert to share ^^v

Entrée

Seared Scallops with Salsa Verde
~see how jiucy and succulent the scallops are?? ^^ Totally awesome~

Main

MINE: 'Golden Plains' Pork Belly
~the pork belly is so so tasty with the Italian Spices. The stuffed apple was GOOD STUFF...totally balances off the
fatty-ness of the pork~

CK's: Duck Ragu Bianco Farfalle
~the chef is really REALLY generous with the meat....you'll feel like you are eating more duck than the pasta ^^~

EXCITING DECISIONS

2010-09-24T13:42:00.000+09:30

OMG…I have been ~~off~~ away from the blog-o-sphere for such a long time! I always have tons to blog but never really get my hands on to it. I will post it up one by one. Since, sometimes I may have extra time at work I might as well blog on mua good ol’ Microsoft Office Words.

First, as of recent, I am planning to visit my hometown

Malaysia

after 4 ½ years. I am expecting to spend LOADS on shopping (well….what cha expect? I am still a girl hei XD). I would also spend a significant amount on food à Malaysian food’s cheap and AWESOME, as in super duper YUMMY!!!

Before I can confirm anything, I have to get a few things done:-

(1) Book ticket – MAS promofare will end 06/10/2010, have to book before then!!!

(2) Visa – Since I am not a PR yet, I have to get a travelling visa close to my departure date. (hopefully it’s gonna be granted!)

SICKIE SUCKER

2010-08-17T10:48:00.000+09:30

Got so so so sick on sunday >.< Mua fever rage till the temperature of a charming 39.1 degrees Celsius *awsome hey >.<* It felt so bad....I body heat was so high that I start to lose my appetite. I got dizzy and my head felt so heavy! Man, my body was sore and my throat must be inflamed to be in such pain >.<

CK took me out for a plain dinner, but since my body is in a bad shape....I can't eat much and just sat there try to hold my body in one piece. On my way back home, I shred tears.......*mommy.......:'(* I think I scare the hell outta CK though ^.< who in the end took care of me. Thank you so much!

I was on sickie monday (which i should start on my new job but have to call in sick*, I felt ever so weak...sleep most of the day. Till LS came home and cooked me porridge as my lunch+breakfast+tea *I was so quiet that she didn't know I was at home* Thank you so much LS!!!!

Today, am feeling so much better. HOWEVER, my voice started to change and I am still having my sore sore throat >.< So, I can't talk much today.....So people, when HY is quiet = HY sick! Simple as that...hahahaa ^^ *sob......pain*

Grumpy abdomen

2010-08-13T16:21:00.000+09:30

Am having a grumpy tummy now.....feel so heavy and as if it's churning *note: I don't have diarrhoea*

GAH...........calm calm...I need sweet stuffs like chocolate!! *hunts for chocky!*

My FIRST ever BEER

2010-08-13T16:13:00.001+09:30

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! *exclaimed!!*

I have my 1st ever EVER beer in my entire 24 years *shocked?* Don't be shocked, I am just a typical GOOD girl ^^ *hehehehe*

I had my 1st every beer *see....I kept stressing that it's my FIRST beer XD* at Belgium Beer Bar on the 9/8/2010 with a bunch of buddies. The beers was 9% in alcohol level and the name is....*drum rolls....* WESTMALLE TRIPLE!

Westmalle Triple

What's my two cents worth of thoughts:-
(a) OMG.......I still don't like the taste of beer but this is far far far better then Carlsberg
(b) I reacted funnily towards that glass of beer.....I felt like my head is gonna start spinning BUT having said that
I react much better with wine with like what 13-15% of alcohol! *I think I should classify myself as part beer
allergic >.<*
(c) Wines are FAR better than beer....but some beers can be quiet easy drinking!

So, the next time I visit Belgium Beer Cafe again....I WANT TO TRY the Chocolate Beer--> Floris Chocolate (4.2% alc) ^.^v

Quick Updates!

Hei guys *to those who actually read my blog and crap!*

Heaps of stuffs happened ever since the last time I blogged *which was like.....er......2 1/2 months ago >.<*! Well, within the blank period I did quite some travelling i.e: to Mt. Gambier, Pt. Pirie and Clare Valley. The trips were awesome and my and my new found love (my canon S90) took tons of pictures. I have recently like to take macro pictures be it food or objects. I will post some up soon *you know....soon ^.<*

Well, I suppose since it's been so exposed on FB that yea....I have a BF now. Things are changing and sometimes I need to take time to get used to it. I USED to be alone *not that I am emo or what-so-ever*, it's because I am the only child and I make decisions myself. That fella has been CREEPING into my life ever since the 19/06/2010. Damn that day he scare the crap outta me, causing me to loose appetite for the whole week *you reading this???? YOU YOU YOU.....gotta be sorry* Oh what can I say? Writing this incident of the blog is to mark the existence of the date and you!

Well....I don't know what else to say! Just crap what's in my head and ya! Will write often ^^

(took tons of yummy food pics......will post a review on them ^^)

NO HOT WATER!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-05-27T21:36:00.002+09:30

NOOOooooooo.................The worst thing that can happen during cold autumn/winter nights is that there's NO HOT WATER!!!! Hot water is the staple thing during cold weathers to keep me warm and fuzzy! Alright, I have been showering okay, if that's what you are thinking! I have been showering using the ancient method, and I am pretty sure that kids this days don't do it anymore : )

Boil water ->put it in a big bucket -> mix with adequate cold water to make it warm -> use a small bucket to scoop the water for shower!

On wednesday night, I went swimming. After swimming, I went to have my shower and GLAD AS HEAVEN I was to have hot water shower straight away!!! We've been taking for granted the convenience that we now have......save water people!

Okay...I think I am done rambling! I shall shut up and keep boiling water ^.^
*camwhore while boiling water XP*

Wirra Wirra - Church Block - 2008

2010-05-25T21:48:00.001+09:30

Had the feeling of getting a bottle of red during the cool weathers to warm myself up. Been thinking about that for the past 2 years. Finally, today I got a bottle Wirra Wirra's Church Block 2008 wine. It's a blend of reds. I have been told by my colleague that if you wanna know if a winery is good, you got to try their blends. I was also given the information that Church Block is a MUST TRY, so I coincidently saw it and I just bought it.

My critic:
*NOTE: Disclaimer, I am not good/experience wine taster....am a noob that just enjoy low amount of wine in my own way*

- The wine is very well blend
- Smooth
- It's a fruity wine
- Since, it's a blend it's not dry like Shiraz *which I like anyway*

It's a good wine for starters to try, nothing too heavy! Personally, I am loving the wine just like how I fell in love with pinot gris the 1st time I drink it!
