Taronga Zoo

Wondering what i've been up to?

Been to sydney...

Do What?

shopping? ..... No
eating? .........Only McD's and Baskin. i didn't eat at china town =(

The Answer: Taronga Zoo Visit!

Took a train, bus and ferry to reach the zoo!! that's a lot of effort don't you think.. Left at 550 and reach sydney about 9 something.. and the zoo 10 something! And another four hours of bus back! should have soooo catch the Express Bus!!! sheeeeeeesh! anyways, here are some pictures..
The Sydney Harbour Bridge from the ferry.... Hmm.. what do u guys think? Penang Bridge? or Sydney Harbour Bridge?

That's me And Melissa and another view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.. The zoo is located on the hill and the view from there is just AMAZING..

The Gila Monster!!! that's the name of this species!

Horny Giraffes wanting to French Kiss... Any volunteers?

I spent a blardy 7 dollars on a SMALL nasi goreng!! damn expensive.. but with the view we get while eating it... It was alright.. Still expensive.. but alrightlah..

Looks like a raccoon? It's a Red Panda!! It's so adorable and shy..

Seen this animal in a lot of Disney movies before.. but can't remember which... Think it's called Meerkat or Meer Cats.. or something like that

After the whole day spent walking... we treated ourselves with Baskin n Robbins.. nyam nyamm... That's Ty, Me and Melissa.

By the time we reach home, we wanted to surprise our friend upstairs with a cake we made for his birthday.. But he wasn't back even though it was after midnight! hmm... think everyone knows where he is... Too dead tired to wait any longer and it's definitely bedtime after that..

shall update you guys about the laser tag i'm gonna have in an hour's time soon...

Just A Dream

As you watch traffic past,
As you felt time pass,
In a blink of an eye,
You've reached a place,
Where all you want,
Is someone to be with you

Feeling the need for a simple hug,
All you get is a simple room,
With four walls and no one there,
Who cares or knows you are there

This is the answer,
This you should realise,
This I must realise,
True love is just a dream,
A dream that will always remain,
A dream and a dream only

Hope?

'If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.'
St. Clement of Alexandra

So sick of hoping..

Just Another Day

Wondering what we do for fun here for the past few days while the people upstairs are wrestling? (there is wrestling matches upstairs which are fun and scary to watch.. even the girls are learning some moves) Ever heard of Wii?? Well, here you go...


Looks amazing doesn't it? I've never seen this before. You can play sports like tennis and bowling on it! there are even other games, which i don't really know. Someone left the player here and I just joined Ty in tennis! which i suck because of the lack of practice This player is actually motion sensitive, so when you move your hand in a swinging motion, the little player swings his hand too!

And, people actually wonder why we get distracted from our studies... Who can ever blame us?

Commencement Dinner

It's been a week.. This week had been nothing about studies at all! First, I went to a pub crawl themed 'Mad Scientist'. We actually wore lab coats which are customised to the theme and walk around town from pub to pub! but as usual, being malaysians, i was late and oni managed to join the gang for 5 pubs, where 3 of them rejected our entry!!! DAMNIT! they needed passports or driving's license! The isic card which clearly states our DOB was not accepted! Australian Law... eish eish.......
Moving on, the next exciting agenda..... *drum rolls* Commencement Dinner!!! Where we all dressed up and got ready for the dinner. hehe.. i did a lil shopping for that..! A pic paints a thousand words, so here are some pics..

hehe.. here's the process of getting ready. That's yedda styling aili's hair. Yedda styled my hair too!! she's really really good... wanna see the results? keep on scrolling...


Well, aili's hair looks waaaayy better la..

keep on scrolling...


This is my resident assistant. Shae.. He's got the room next to mine.

The other 2 leng luis of my block. That's yedda on the left and Skye on the right. A canadian gal.. Doesn't she look good?!

MALAYSIANS!!!!
that's gowry (erm i forgot how to spell her name), bernie, su yen, aili, ME and cute cute Melissa. Oh.. and that's from the left to right!

And this dude is Melissa's housie! Ivan! he's got a lot of malay lessons from us. And we got a couple of australian lessons from him too. Btw, he's way taller than me and is bending down. He ain't a dwarf in case u guys were wondering.

hmm.. the party was really fun. Just avoid the toilets and you should be fine.. (ppl puking) This is definitely one of the nights to remember!

THE week

To sel who wanted me to have a blog.. 'here u go =)'

Let me start off with this past week. Bad week cause of tests. Boring boring. Nerdy nights whole week despite the usual wednesday parties they have here (whic
h i don't join). Feeling a lil stress.. not cause of the tests but of the feeling of NOT wanting to study. And then, the biggest blow happened today. Really sad about the news that u guys back at home sent me. I can't do anything here and don't know how to console you. Time will heal pain. That's all I can say. And ironically this very same night, an aussie dinner for five turn out to be a party for 9. Which was fun, which made me feel guilty. Here are some pics..
from the left anti clockwise: ivan, melissa, yedda, 'Knock', Ping, Ai Li (Ally), ME, John, JuJu
Gotta admit the food was GOOOOOOD! It smelled so good when we cooked it that ppl from other blocks keep on coming to our unit asking what we are cooking. There were about 2 or 3 guys that came in and ask. One guy even joined us for dinner and it's his 21st bday! Everyone admitted it was an AMAZING dinner. Kangaroo meat is AWESOME.. i know i know.. yall may be thinking cute animal...animal cruelty.. yada yada yada.. but IT TASTED AMAZING! i swear! and apparently it's good for you cause it's lean meat! Yummy and Healthy.. can someone ask for more?And there's dessert! PAVLOVA!! it's something like the one that ann's cousin made during her bro's bday. I helped made it!!! REALLY proud of meself! it takes 3 hours! Yedda was the chef though.. and also the one who came up with this aussie dinner idea! LOVE her sooo much for it. This tasted sooooooo good.. crunchy on the ousides soft on the inside.. if i do remember the recipe, i'll make it once i get back home.
Well, here's a picture of Yedda! haha.. she's cleaning up the place. I really love her as my housemate. She cleans the place a lot. Well, she's also a really nice person. Not that i'm obligated to say that. And if u could see the leg on the right, that's John, WATCHING yedda clean even though he claimed that he's the housemate of the week. John, if u ever read this, that lil' statement i added was to get back at you for calling me b*tch. =)

It was a real fun night. Seeing other ppl drunk and just rambling with words. Doing funny things. I guess it is St Patrick's Day for a reason.
And oh, yesterday the dessert was spiked! we had donuts with cream in the middle. And the cream has a really strong alcohol taste in it. And 1 fella asked the kitchen ppl, they said there weren't any in it... LIARS~!!

ps: I'll always be there for you gals back at home. A Promise.
