Finally... Maroubra Beach!!

Hello hello!! Sorry so long never blog again.. This is my first time to the beach since I got to Sydney. It is very malu for me to admit that after being here for 4 months this is the first time to the beach. Unbelivable....!! Also to everyone's surprise, I had to fit in and buy a BIKINI because of this beach outing... Hehe.. There will be some pictures with glimpses of the bikini so don't freak out la, especially my parents and friends from Malaysia.

So so.. This beach is in Maroubra and I had to take a 30 minute bus ride. So cool you know, once I got off the bus you see the blue ocean stretching on for miles and miles.. And the sand is just so "sandy" and soft. Two words = Just breathtaking..

For this first outing, I went with one of my girl friends, which is Lea Brunner. There will be many pictures of us together.. Hehe not camwhoring k?? Okay no more rambling, on to the pictures!!

At the bus stop.. We were so into taking pictures that we missed our bus..

First picture we took when we first got to Maroubra. Look at the water man! So blue blue blue...

First step on the sand.. Hehe.. So lame la, I know..

I went on a Saturday so alot of Aussie were there sunbathing. See all the girls in bikini wan..

The other side of Maroubra. I think Eng will like to climb the rocks there.. Haha..

This is my beach buddy, Lea Brunner... She is pretty le.. Single but not available..

Sunbathing.. So nice to just lie down and sleep in the sun.. Then sometimes the wind blows so you won't feel so hot.. Can you feel it?

Sunbathe 'til quite bored so I took some pictures.. Haha these are Lea's Havaianas..

Even if the weather is hot right, the water is ice cold wan lo.. I soak my feet only and dare not go full body inside.. Sejuk-nya!!

Can you see the helicopter hanging a person outside?? I think saving somebody from the rocks..

So cute the little girls playing in the sand. When the Mom asked them to go home, the girl in the blue was screaming lo.. Hehe so funny..

We went for a drink at a cafe by the beach. This is Lea's Mocha..

This is my apple and passion fruit juice.. So refreshing lo.. *slurp slurp*

While we were relaxing, this was the view we had from inside the cafe.. So nice le.. Be jealous!!

This one goes out to Onna/Lynn because she loves puppies.

Just something cute for all to see to put smiles on your faces and make your day brighter!

Tragedy..

The saddest thing happened to me this week. I can already hear some people laughing after reading what happened to me...

One night, I was holding a dustbin above my opened up laptop. For some stupid reason, I dropped the pink dustbin on my laptop and after 10 minutes my screen went BLACK! Next thing I know, the screen wrote, "Hard-drive not detected...."

OMG.... I was freaking out man!!

Then I said to myself, "Nothing wan la. Won't spoil so easy wan.. Just restart it then can already lo.." Restarted 2,000 times also no difference, my hard drive was still not detected.

My heart just went like this:


Pop goes my heart....

The tragedy continues on and for the next 2 days, I had withdrawal symptoms. I sat there and just went, "Haiz.. sigh.. haiz.." and I felt like I had nothing to do and no Pet Society to play.

IT WAS PURE TORTURE!!!!!

Good news is now my laptop is up and running. The Dell people gave me a new hard drive and installed everything back for me, but all my documents, pictures, and songs in my old hard drive are all gone with the wind....

The End (understand the picture ah??)

Note: Please let me know if you have any other pictures of my farewell party or the other events, because I really have nothing left...

Elevate.

Hey people! This is a miracle. I uploaded these pictures before my computer crashed so thank God I still have these. Encounter Fest was something like a 3 day conference thing that went on from morning to night. It was also on the last night of Encounter Fest that Hillsong recorded the new Hillsong United Album. I took some short videos of the recording, but it was gone when the hard drive crashed. Enjoy the pictures!!

Guys posing on the bus there. Haha.. so lame..

My friends Lea (on the left) and Sneha (on the right).

Me and Mathapelo! She is such a cool & genuine person. No doubt about it.

Michael Brinker. A passionate man of God. His hobby is praying. Seriously.. He's single for all the single girls out there~

These guys set up a stage at the entrance of the church to "kacau" people. So noisy le, keep playing those act cool and techno music.

Selling Kebab's outside in the parking area. So expensive like 6 Aussie for a kebab.

Ice-cream selling with the kebab..

Sam Knox leading in worship. This is the big auditorium in the Hills Campus.

I wish I had more photos to show, but all my pictures are gone.. Dang.. Sorry la..

Dinner at Est./Establishment.

Hello everybody!

On the 3rd of October, Uncle Roger which is my Singapore uncle took me and my sister out for dinner at this fine dining restaurant called Est. (which stands for Establishment). It was the kinda restaurant where you need to dress up and look classy if not the person outside won't allow you in.

Moving on, we had a five course dinner where we had to choose different dishes such as, "four freshly shucked rock oysters from today's market, mignonette sauce (or 4 each)" or "chicken wing consomme, porcini pearls, herbs, leaves, spiced veal ravioli". It took me so long to choose one dish for each of the 5 courses! Have to look at all the different ingredients in all, but everything was worth it because it was so GOOD!!!!!! Super nice lo. Never in my life have I tasted something so heavenly. I know it sounds a little exaggerated, but I'm not kidding. All the ingredients blended together so perfectly.

All in all, I want to thank my Uncle for giving me and my Sis such a good, funny & happy dining experience. Look and drool over the yummy pictures below...

Oh and by the way, our waiter was a French guy, with a name you simply cannot pronounce. I don't know why I told you guys that but just thought I'll throw it in to make some people jealous.. Hohohoho..


This is my young-looking Uncle Roger. Haha.. If he looks familiar to Singaporeans it's probably because you've seen him on TV doing a chinese cooking show.

My beautiful sister in her black dress.. She's single.. /gg

Of course this is me la.. Check out the nice earrings ah.. Haha surprised that I had nothing PINK on though.. Hmm..



My 1st course:
Sashimi of south Australia kingfish, blood orange, red chilli, fennel and dill. This dish was really nice for a starter, light and sour.



Shirley's 1st course:
Chicken wing consomme, porcini pearls, herbs, leaves, spiced veal ravioli.
Lol geng le the names..

My 2nd course:
Grilled white scallops, asparagus, parsnip and chestnut mushrooms, shiitake vinaigrette.
I had to search the internet for the menu. Lol, no way I did this by memory.

Shirley's & U. Roger's 2nd course:
Parma prosciutto and duck foie gras rolled quail breast, artichoke, broad beans and parsley.
Q: What is "foie gras"?
A: Foie gras is the liver of a duck or goose.

Actually after the foie gras and before the lamb (below), it was our 3rd course but I forgot to take a picture of it because I was too hungry.

For our 3rd course, we had:
1. Crisp skin john dory fillet, broad beans, green peas, macadamias and trompettes de la mort. (Shirley's)

2. Pan roasted south Australian jewfish fillet, grilled white scallop, fennel, borlotti beans and manzanilla olives. (Mine)

3. Steamed baby snapper. (U. Roger's)


My 4th course:
Pan roasted lamb rib eye, artichoke hearts, rosemary potatoes and roast garlic, shallot jus.
Artichoke is a veggie okay, don't think I ate an animal's heart or something.. Eww..



Shirley's 4th course:
Grilled fillet of aged black angus beef, white asparagus, king mushrooms, grated horseradish and parsley.




U. Roger's 4th course:
Erm. He ordered some duck dish that is off the menu, so just see the picture.

Dessert time!! Everyone shared and ate the desserts. No way I could finish all that chocolate alone. Crazy ah!?

Valrhona chocolate and lemon fondant, lemonade confit, chocolate beignets, chocolate sorbet.



Vannila latte cotto, queensland strawberries, spice wafer.






Passion fruit souffle.
Among all the desserts, this one was the winner. Even though we had to wait 20 minutes for it, it was worth it. The top layer of the souffle was crisp and the inside was very light anf fluffly. Eat it with the cream and the passion fruit ice cream!!!





These came with the coffee U. Roger ordered. I forgot the classy name for it, so let's just call them "little cakes". Hehe so cute.




Nice le this pic. I took it with my Sony "pink" Cybershot.




6 small little cakes in a row. So cute..





This picture is for Aunty Katherine. Evidence that Uncle Roger kept his shirt and table cloth area clean and white. It's a miracle people!! Cheers/kampai!!!!

Me holding my uncle's infinite "black/黑" credit card. So cool to just hold it. Can you see the silver words "infinite" on the card? My goodness you can buy a car with this piece of plastic. Amazing..!!
