Sago Gula Melaka *slurpp*

Went to China Town today to do some grocery shopping for monday night's Pot Bless "Asian Food night" event. ^O^" We are going to prepare "Kong Bo Chicken" prepared by my sis, "Fried Mee Hoon", "Sago Gula Melaka", and a fruit salad *slurp slurp* *sedap nya* *好吃* *맛있는!!* Really looking forward to it =p ...
Went to China town, "Yuen's market" (famous asian grocery stall) initially...But was super dissapointed, cause they don't know what's "Gula melaka".. and obviously .. "sago gula melaka" without gula melaka.. it will forfeit the taste.. -_-".. I try going to the other (more expensive) chinese shops in china town to look for it.. and was super super happy when i found one!! ..Feel so home..so malaysia... it's improted from malaysia, it's the exact same shape.. ^O^"!!! misses Malaysia so much! ^O^"

Updates from Australia =)

I'm back in Australia again.... At Queensland, Brisbane, a suburb name St. Lucia, a street call Walcott Street,a college named - Grace, a room numbered 410c ^O^"
Class started weeks ago.. and I'm still working hard to switch from the "holiday mode" to "study mode". I'm taking 2 Law subjects this semester- Corporation Law, Income Tax Law. Both subjects require lots of readings as well as consistency in studying.. =p Hope I could be more disciplin though... Beside that, i'm taking KOREAN LANGUAGE! WOw! I love that class, it's a really relaxing class, aside of some extra effort of memorizing the new words.. there's not much challenge ^O^"

Happening's in queensland......

25th Feb- Mount Coot-Tha:
Get to go to Mount Coot-Tha at night! The scenery was really nice, able to look at the city of Brisbane, the Airport, UQ, Toowong Village..^-^. It was a real blessing by Judah 5 (Hope church cell group)

26th Feb- Amazing (G)Race:
Participated in the Amazing Race held by Hope Church. Get to meet lots of people as well as know the city of Brisbane better=). Did alot of walking under the Hot sun PHEEWw..... No doubt, the weather was rEalLY ReAlly burning HOT(Got sun burned)! But, it was real fun! Our group got the "Best TeamWork" awards and won a hamper of goodies!!! HoORay!!!

1st March- Grace College International Night:
It was international night, every floor in our college was to represent a country, and mine was give "Malaysia"!! Go Go Malaysia. Well, due to the last minute information given by the college.. we didn't get to prepare well. Every floor was to prepare something to present to the others and we weren't told about that....So, when the principle called out our floor name.. we were kinda panic.. being the only malaysian in my floor.. i had to come out with something "of cause!" who else could? so I made all my floor member did the Malay way of greetings, which is "A-sam-ma-le-kum". It was pretty spontaneous, yet it was Fun!

5th March- Lone Pine & Shorn Cliff:
Joined BCC Church trip to Lone Pine & Shorn Cliff. It was terrific! We only paid aud20 for the whole trip. Thinking that we'll surely get some sandwich or hot dogs for lunch, suprisingly we were blessed with KFC (~that where i wanna b) hahha! wow, It was really nice of them! Get to feed the kangaroo in lone pine~~. Also, had lots of fun in Shorn Cliff (beach). The beach was full of jelly fish, could easily come up to millions of them!!!
11th March- Ladies Night:
Had a special lady night at Suez place =) It was a suprise from Sue ^-^ We get to be served and served others. I've got a very nice foot massage from Suez. Get to soak my foot in warm milk + some beautiful flowers, massaged with the special massage oil =p (em, I feel good lalalalalalala~~ i know that i do~~). Also, I did a facial service for Suez (it's my first time... that's a learning process=p)Suez is the victim =p.

12 March- Peggy's Visit & UQ Malaysian Student Association BBQ:
Get to meet Peggy, my high school fren today=) It was awesome! It's so good to meet up old frens and talk about the good old days!!!! Misses them so much!! ^O^
Also, went to the BBQ held by UQMSA in Roma Parkland. The bbq chicken taste super good *slurp slurp!* =p met lots of Malaysian & some non-malaysia =p

16 March- Body Pump + Body Jam:
Went for the free trial class of Body Pump(Weight Lifting) and Body Jam(dance). Body Pump was a horrid- No No!! Thinking to have some fun and get a taste of it, but it was too much of "fun". Guess i've got a high expectation on my self =p. It was a 1 hour class, and all of us (Joan, PeiYin, Elyssa, & I) was looking at the clock again and again. Hope that the clock will move faster....Conclusion: Body pump is a serious No No!! NO MORE BODY PUMP FOREVER!!

Summer Update...

Yes, this would be my new blog.. new entry... trying out new things ^O^" Haven't been updating my blog in tabulas for ages though... =p

Firstly, to those that thought i'm still in Australia.. I'M BACK!! yeap, back in Malaysia for Summer break... BUT, going back SOON... *how sad* *sobb sobb*

How did I spend my summer break?

1. Went to Korea with my family

YES, I must say It's AWESOME! Comparing it to other family trip I went, I can say this is the best.. Went to Jeju Island(five star to this, all the nice food from korea's here), went Seoul, FIFA 2002 Stadium, Winter Sonata Skiing place (THIS IS THE BEST), Stairways to Heaven- Lotte World, Hotelier's shooting place, Autumn in my heart's - Beach+ town, Volcano cave, dead volcano... etc.. ^-^ was really fun

2. Working as a trainess in Deloitte.

Started work on 13 Dec 2004 and would end officially tomorrow (hopefully). Remember on the 1st week, I was so worried as I've not taking any audit or reportinG paper. However, I'm really glad that God provide me with good seniors. Comparing to other VT (Vacation Trainee) I'm consider very bless =). Moreover, I get to know many new friends that's also studying in Australia, + some seniors that are working in the company. The Highlight of my training session would be the opportunity given by my manager, having to audit a company alone ^O^" YES, ALONE. Believe me, how suprise am I, was so shock and speechless. What's worse is that the deadline is within 4 days >_<"" Have to stay back, worked OT till 12am , and had to even work saturday... -_-" but, Thank God, my manager seeing me being so stress and hardworking (i guess)... send me a senior assistant2 on the 2nd last day to assist me ^O^" Overall it's a good training.. =) Thank God for it..

3. *Prediction*?? ..... Shopping? sure.. would be busy shopping for CNY cloths.. =p Hope i'll b able to get nice and reasonable price cloths =D

"24 days" back to Queensland......
