*A delightful dinner with Tino*

Tino, *my colleague* came and joined us for dinner on Friday night in the chinatown. I brought him to one-of-our-frequently-visit-chinese-restaurant for some luscious and appetizing chinese food. And I am glad that he enjoyed the food very much! and yeah, he was learning hard to use the chopsticks, but hey he did a very good job! *well done, Tino* Also, I taught him some chinese sentences during our dinner, he leant the sentences fast, but I doubt if he could remember them now. *hahaa*

By the way, he is from Germany. *Winks*

Pianissimo

* Yeah**!!!~ I bought myself a very beautiful instrument the other day when everywhere was having sales. I couldn't afford a grand piano, still, I managed to get a very reasonable-price-keyboard for my own. *Woo Hooh* Love it Love it!!~* Lots of lots of fun indeed. Incredible exquisite!! I haven't touch my piano since months ago. Used to play alot of pop songs. but not classical music. *lazybones* so since then, I practice everyday. Yeah, practice makes perfect. I found lots of nice songs on the net, and I hope I could play them all well one day. *winks winks*

Book of the day

Combines of varies different story. Each epic has it own meaningful morale behind. Some touch deep into my heart, but some don't. Overall, it is an interesting book to read piece by piece to kill my time. Definitely not something monotonous. Loved the beautiful flowery clauses phrases.

new pet- Guinea pig

She is so adorable! she is a very fluffy little cute thing, so we named her "mao mao". She is such a beautiful gift by my dearby for our anniversary. *How sweet* I was so excited when I first got her, she is only 4 weeks old, and she gets quite tension most of the time, *she got a very small heart*, hence, we made some efforts to create a comfortable living space for her to help her get rid of the uneasiness.

I tried to wear her a lovely pink color shirt today, well, I think she doesn't like it. *hmmmph*

Yes, she eat and shit alot. In order to keep the place clean and not smelly, I pick up her shit everyday. I can say that she is a very clean babe. She doesn't get smelly at all, which is good! hehe...

It has been 5 days, and now she is getting more and more used to her new house, and she can run very fast compare to the first day she arrived. *Oh, did I say, we got her a bigger house? Ya, she definitely needs a bigger place to play around. *

There are so much fun and laughter playing with her. She runs everywhere, even into our clothes. It was the funniest thing to try to get her out. She runs to whenever there is something that she can hides from. But sometimes, she get quite calm and I can hold her forever like that when I watch TV.

Long story short, she brings us joy and fun. Thank you dearby for this lovely present. *Love it so much* *Huggiess, kissess*

Gratifying weekend

I had a super duper great weekend. Had a conference chat with mum, two sisters, Danny, John on the net. It was fun! Dearby was playing guitar, and we were all singing together via Skype. You know what, the connection is so unbelievable. We were like talking and singing next to each other. The feeling is so cool. * I miss all of them so much* By the way, Skype connected us from Malaysia, Perth, Brisbane into a conference room without any laggardness.

Since David has got back his guitar, that means I can once again listen to them playing guitar, I have to admit that I really enjoy listening to dearby playing and singing. I used to play the songs he sang to me and having them accompanied me until I fall asleep. *that's sweet*

Right away, I feel that I am back into the pure and innocent school life when everybody gathering, singing, dancing whenever there is a campaign, or study tour. That feeling is awesome!

* congratulation *

On last wednesday, we attended Li's graduation ceremony in UQ.*University of Queensland* That was my second time visiting the university. And, it was hard for us to find our way to the hall. We were losing ourselves for quite awhile before we got to the right place. *ohya, we bought her tulips, tulips are beautiful * We stayed for awhile, took some pictures, had some refreshments, then we headed off for lunch in Taringa. The glad thing about Taringa is the delicious food we had in one of the chinese restaurant. They have all sort of Malaysia style food. Oneh Oneh, Nasi Lemak, Fried kuey Tiao, Qing Tang, home-made char sew, you zha kueh, you name it.....That is so nice! See, there are actually lots of nice and yummy restaurant in Australia. What i mean is Asian food, chinese food, Malay food like we can eat in Malaysia. The only way to find out is to take yourself into challenging mode in order to try different restaurant. You never try, you never know. There is only one way to find out. hehe..* miss the savory, sapid food back home*

* new hair color *

Recently, I am bored with my black hair color. I used to dye my hair long time ago, but after awhile I decided to keep it black *my original color which is very black.*But now, again, I wanted something different..*hehe* So here we are, me and my dearby, both with shorter hair and new hair color. Hmmph, I know you could hardly see the hair color as we both have very black hair, we choosen the very bright color but turned out to be dark brown. *eye rolling* Anyway, it is still nice, I know. *blek*

the temptation

Dessert? Yeah, I can never resist the temptation.For the past few days, we had been eating out * as we are still hunting for refrigerator* Around 10 to 15 minutes away from the house,*walking distance* there are lots of chinese restaurants around. You know what, I found a very nice restaurant selling the yummy, tasty, my-hometown-alike-Laksa, it really taste like the Laksa I can get in Johor. * so delicious* Ordering Laksa in Australia is a very challenging job. You would have to be prepared of what you will be getting. Mostly you will not get the kind of hot Laksa you want, it is always the case, they altered it somehow to suit the Aussie taste. But, there is always an exception. This one suits my taste just nice! *Yeah*

Alright, back to the dessert, we also found ourselves visiting this dessert cafe very frequently after dinner. the 'tou fu fa" is nice, I also love the rockmelon sago. *hmmmph* the banana spilt with ice creams...*drooling*

Danny was sick, so I wanted to try and cook fish porridge during my day off last week,yeah I did, and to be honest, I din't really know how to cook it nice and tasty. So I emailed mum for help, she taught me how to cook over the net, and now she is sending me some recipes..How nice!

I'm back again

*Phew**!!~ Finally I am back to my blogging life. I've just got the internet connection at home today. And I've got so much to tell. *oh* hang on, did anyone miss my daily life? I would be so happy to know that , and to tell the truth, I really miss blogging alot alot.

So here we go...shall we? *=)

The new apartment

So, on last last Monday, we all moved into the new apartment somewhere near the Chinatown *which is good*, and I've taken some pictures during our move into the new place. It was kinda rush, we packed,cleaned,moved,unpacked,cleaned..And after a whole day hard work, things turned out to be pretty well.

* We've got so much stuff*

* deng deng* the new home

And that was time to do some unpacking and decorating the room. See, this is what I came out with:

* The card-board window *

* my jewellery corner*

I also did some shoppings on "candle" yeah..I like candle. And I managed to hunt down some of the nice candles from the shop. *hehe* It is always so romantic and sweet to have it light on during the night when I am totally relaxing!! *Hmmmphh* I even have the candles inside my bathroom...somehow, I felt like I was back into the oldie times.*haha*

* Isn't it warm and beautiful?*

*I've also decorated my table with this precious gift *

* my window*

I have to say that it was so fun having little weird idea, and making all things up with unused empty boxes, clothes, glove, cap, just everything that I could think of to help decorating the room better. *Awww* I love it. It is so cozy*

* the study corner*

* Finally, it's my favourite bed* There are books, magazines that I can always reach for beside my bed. Bears that staying awake all nights. Candles that relaxing my soul. Wonderful!

*More pictures coming up* =)

All set and ready

I've finally packed up most of my belongings. And I am all set and ready for the next step.But before I turn off and pack my laptop, I have to blog as I don't think I will be able to blog in the next 2 weeks. *gonna wait for the telephone and broadband connection in the new apartment*

So yeah, here I am again. =p

First big task that I've completed during the past few days is, I've finished the carrefour bunting and backdrop design for Wangsa Maju, Malaysia. *Yeahhh*!! I am so happy and once I had finished transfer the files to my client, Vivi, I really breathed a sigh of relief. *haha* that was a huge file. The bunting and backdrop altogether are 71 MB. Huge project!! *Phew Phew**!! and it took me some times to rescale the whole file. *finally* *ginz*

*my office*

* for the past whole week, I've spent roughly 40 hours in this place- my working environment- it was a nice week, but I was just mentally completely run-down My daily task was to get all sort of information from the 'information department' and reorganize them in a nice and neat way for this weekly magazine layout. And also, I have to do some touch up for every single logo, graphics, name cards, we've received from different entertainment companies, such as cinemas, restaurants, book stores, clubs, sports, concert halls, so on and so on. *Heaps of information* So we are basically holding most of the exciting entertainment news happening around in Brissy. And I am so surprised to know that there are lots of good and enjoyable events that we could attend for. *But I don't have enough time and energy for that*

Busy busy

* the apartment's current condition* messy

Everyone has been so busy looking for houses. We have to move out from this lovely apartment due to some stupid reason. And we are going to move out tomorrow! It was such a rush period. But anyway, we found ourselves a convenient apartment in such a short time. *I haven't seen the house yet, as I couldn't join the 'hunting' team when they took action, I had to work. *yeah* full time, from Monday until Friday, and I had to work overtime today!!! so much works to do! *I am mentally tired* And still have to pack after I got home.

But I am pretty sure that we will all make the new apartment as cozy as we can. *winks*

Update

Some updates of my life for the past few days. I am pretty sure that my parents miss my diary. They must be checking everyday. Therefore, I have to get myself some spare time to write this blog no matter how busy I am..Just to let them know that I am doing alright over here. *Winks!!!~**

I am so glad that I had a good sleep last night. And I had nearly full energy bar when I came to work this morning. *I really need lots of energy, as in this magazine company, everyday I have to deal with so much information, so many design layouts* - pardon me, when I said 'many' I really mean it. So much information pouring in everyday!!!

Anyway, I am glad that everything is going pretty well. I get along quite well with most of the colleagues, expecially Betty * the marketing manager* and not to forget, my boss is a very nice person too! =)

Nightmare

I dreamt.....I was sitting here doing my freelance project *based on the candle concept* Then the whole thing started to burn and my projects were in flames. Monster in different sizes appear right infront of me. *They are fire monsters* One of them started to chop my head. *eeeeuwww...* I was terrified. I was scared. I ran. Fast. I could feel my *hanging* head. Somebody help me!! .........

I am glad I finally woke up from this disgusting, sickening, offensive, unpleasant, gross nightmare.

Let me have a sweet dream tonight. *Pray*

p/s: Was my mind infected by the virus of "war of the worlds?" or I was just too "stressed"?

The depleted me

I am exhausted. I did not have enough sleep. Yet,I still need to spend some quality times to relax my minds. After came back from work today, I breathed a sigh of relief. I had a great time working in this magazine company. It is just that I can't have enough times for my own. And I feel so great that I can finally relax myself and complete some of my own tasks. *hehe*

First, I painted my nail. I wanted to do it since very long time ago. I always love painting my nails and decorating them. And this time, I am using the peel off - water based - non toxic- rocket red- nail color. hehe. Much more easier to clean and you won't have the smell of normal nail polisher.

the flower-stickers decoration *Winks!!***

...........................................................................................................................................

My precious candle casing

I love candle.Whenever my mood arrives at the right time, I will light up my flower shape candles and I love the warm,relaxing feeling that I can get from candle lights. It makes me feel so good. Last night, I had the same feeling again. And see how beautiful it turned out to be. *notice the heart-shapes-shadow reflecting on the wall.* *Love it so much!!!***

*lalalallaaaaa* I am happy!
