With a kiss, let us set out for an unknown world.

went for a potluck party yesterday at the boys' place! and i cooked curry...and mine was the first to be finished. heheh.. makes my day but must thank zhaowei for his advice on what to put in the curry paste to make it taste better.

and the guys are really a bunch of pigs man. was supposed to meet at their place at 9am in the morning and i woke up at 7am just to make sure that i have sufficient time to prepare and drive to their house. BUT when i got there at 9am, they were all still sound asleep! goodness. i had to wait for an hour for them to wash up before we head on down to hungry Jacks for breakfast and the guys kept on pushing Jonathan to me. refused to let jon sit with them. and during dinner time, when i had to peel the prawns, the guys asked why i refused to use my hands to peel it then i told them that cos biN always does it for me, then, they asked jon to peel for me and i said NO. hahaha...they still don't get it, i am attached! and i talk to jon about biN and all too. whatever. my love for my bao bei will never change. muacks my deaR!

will post photos of the potluck dishes when i get my hands on them :)

this is lunch today. ate half the plate before i decide to take a photo of it. the veges (bok choy) looked uncooked and it is. haaha. was rushing for time to go to school and wanted to show dear dear my lunch on skype but the internet connection just failed me at that moment. the connection here sucks big time. seriously. does it look appetising? i fried garlic with ginger and prawns then added the cooked-rice and finally the vegs. i know this sounds weird but it tastes kind of nice!

Happy Anniversary my Love!!!

2 years and 2 months together and many more to come. soon we'll lose count of how long we've been together!
i can imagine us getting all old, crumpled and saggy, holding hands, walking really slowly along the beach, enjoying every single moment together.

i simply love you!

it's been 2 days since i got back from sydney and i still can't forget the wonderful pieces of oil on canvas by PISSARRO, a french painter. paid 10 bucks (under concession fee, alvin paid $15) for the entrance fee to the Art Gallery of New South Wales Sydney to view his works cos alvin saw in on the papers on sunday morning and asked if i was interested, why not man. so we head on down to the museum after the cooked-lobster breakfast (2 lobster meals in a weekend, wo zhen you kou fu). and sonce no photography is allowed, i bought some postcards showing his works.
so here's a self potrait of himself in 1905:

anyways, i found out last night while reading the invoice from Bob Jane for the wheel alignment, that the guy there printed the wrong vehicle make and model for my invoice so i went back today and got it changed. i overlooked it. should have checked the invoice. but it's all done now ;)
drove Bing Yu and April back home today cos we will be having a potluck buffet this weekend and i need to know how to get to bing yu's place. will be having it at the boys' (bing yu and gang) place cos no one wants to come to my place which is too far from where the rest are staying. hmmm... they are missing out on the beach and the view i have here man.

decided to take a walk along the beach today after dinner and washing up cos the beach is less than a minute walk from my house and so happen to see people paragliding. yar... they are a group of professionals that paraglid every evening at bar beach. so here are some photos:

the paraglider taking off from the hill..he came so close to me that i could see his face!this is Bar Beach... and there are people surfing! (too small to see from this picture:)

and bao bei's so funny yesterday. he msg me when i was about to sleep and told me that he misses me alot and whether i can call him back. my darling, i only haven't talk to you for 2 days and you misS me! so TOUCH! like being touched by an angel. hahaha... i love you soO much! don't worry k, you are always on my mind...awwW... muAcks!

it was alvin's birthday on friday and he was supposed to come home that night but he was too tired after work and fell asleep. can't drive for 3 hrs feeling tired, it's too dangerous. and somehow the thought that he's coming home that night, made me not so scared of the night and i slept so peacefully.

the trip down to sydney on saturday was great!

we went to some chinese restaurant in chinatown and had FRESH Lobster sashimi. i seriously mean fresh cos it has got all the fishes, crabs, lobsters and abalone live in their own tanks and the waiter there fished out the lobster, weighed it and showed my cuz and told him the price. it's a hefty 150 bucks for a lobster for 2 of us.
but it's really super yummy! it's so damn fresh! should have brought my camera along to show u guys =) just imagine having the shell of the Raw Australian Lobster right in front of you with the meat placed beside it and dipping it into wasabi and soy sauce. it just taste like heaven!

and den after the dinner, we joined gloria and carla for a play called the "Mariah"cos gloria's friend is one of the main actresses. all of us thought that the play's going to be some typical tragedy show but it turned out to be damn R (A). we were all in shock in the third scene when one actress walked out onto the stage top naked and attempted to clean herself up. she's supposed to be acting as a prostitute. the play's damn fantastic, so real life but was a little too short (an hour).

so, to end the day, gloria suggested that we have some pancakes near the harbour and i had cheese filled crepes with vanilla ice cream and strawberries, alvin took some roll with salad, gloria had 2 super chocolaty pancakes and carla took the strawberry special. the food was really good but as the shop was a little too small for the damand, the waitresses were in such a hurry to clear our plates even when alvin was not done with his food and that pisses the hell out of him and he snapped at the waitress but she just continued to clear the plates. goodness...bad service for such good desserts. what a shame.

i collected my car on sat too, the moment i got to sydney. bought it second hand from sydney toyota. looks damn old. i've got a name for it. it's called "ah pok". some photos of ah pok:

and alvin was pist with toyota cos they did not do a proper check on the vehicle although we gave them 1 week to make sure that all is well with the car. i drove it first but being unexperienced, i didn't notice that the alignment was slanted but when alvin drove it, the car kept swerving to the left when he let go of the steering wheel. so he called up toyota, gave them a good scolding and brought the car back to toyota the next day. but as it was a sunday, the mechanics were not there so toyota suggested that we bring the car back to newcastle, have it aligned and send them the invoice and they will reimburse us cos the car is under 1 year warranty. they estimated the cost to be 30 to 40 bucks, but when i went to Bob Jane (tyre shop) today, it costs me $77!!! twice the price. but i'll get the money back anyway.

so the whole alignment thingy took 45 minutes and i walked over to bi-Lo and Grower's best (fresh food mart) and bought mushrooms, "bok chay", 2 litres of milk and carrot. somehow, i think i'm used to the car swerving to the left cosa when i picked the car up after the service, i kept pulling the steering wheel to the right and kept having the impression that the car is still going slightly to the left. will test it out tmr again. if it doesn't get well, i will bring it back to bob Jane tmr...

alvin just called to check whether i'm home and whether the tyres are aligned. after all the ACTIVE civilisation i was exposed to during the weekends, i'm back home alone again. we'll see. i have soO much free time. only having a 3day week, TUES to THURS cos the school management refuse to let me take 5 modules. i should find something to do. seriously.

more picts on the kitchen and my dinner...

marinating the salmon and preparing the veges for the soup...

the finished product. i know it doesn't look appetising but it tastes totally perfect cos i called mummy before i started on the salmon and she told me to coat it with salt and black pepper and then stir fry it with garlic and olive oil...slurps...

I MISS HOME. I REALLY DO... ('_')

i come to think that i'm an idiot. shouldn't have left for newcastle alone. quite a mistake cos i feel so god damn lonely that on the second day i got here i just sat in my room and cry. darn. alvin's supposed to be in newy with me for the whole 5 months but on monday, he was called back and posted to Port Mc for 2 weeks. i was so sad. but thank god he's really nice. he went shopping with me for groceries, taught me to cook stuffs, showed me where everything is in his house, bought me a street directory, showed me how to go around, shopped for a car and called me every night to make sure i'm home safe and sound and chat with me about my day in school on webcam when he's home. what would i do without alvin!

i just feel so scared living alone in a big house which is 2-storey high cos when night falls, the streets gets really dark and quiet and my neighbours get really quiet too and i just can't stand the thought that i am all by myself. i just freak out. my only comfort is the internet when i get home cos nothing on the tv really interest me. i find comfort talking and chatting to people online now. something which i do not do back in singapore.

thou i made new friends, all singaporean freshies at newy, i just feel so lonely when i get home, an empty shell. no one to talk to about my day in school, no one for me to cry to, no one to hug me when i'm sad and scared.

and today, i being the usual stubborn girl, refused to take another bus. express bus 223 was on the bus stop list but it didn't turn up and i insisted on waiting for that darn bus but it did not turn up after 2 hours of waiting and i finally decide to take the alternative bus 225.
i'm damn stubborn. this just proves it.

i miss home, i mis my friends, i miss bin.

i asked my bro to buy 2 logitech webcams. i told him to "get the cheapest one" and he really got me 2 of the 25bucks logitech webcams. now, i regret. cos if i'm buying it for myself, i will just have to bear with it but i'm getting it for my aunt and cuz and i feel bad cos the resolution is not as good as the one i'm using (in fact, it's rather bad).
I paid 80bucks for mine.
like what darling said "if u pay peanuts, u get peanuts".
but er ku's budget is 20bucks. i'm just sticking to her budget. but i seriously feel BAD. haiz....
