March 2011 prt 1


Back Melb, my house is in a mess, macam kena burglary!! One of my housemate was having 'spring cleaning', clean clean clean and i guess he suddenly think his room is very 'empty' that he go get himself an enormous TV!! ok lah i know big tv very common but in a room! It's not the huge master room that you might have in your mind, it's just a room, fit in Queen sized bed + table for computer will be 刚刚好that kinda size!! First thing pop out my mind when i saw it is "u wanna open a cinema ah!?" That tv might have be 50" or larger!
ma room is in a mess too, i get this balloon in November last year from Chadstone VIP, super good quality, the balloon still that big after many moons.

March! it's uni time again, aiyah~ mafan~ Caulfield O'week, a MUST go for free stuff + food, some random band, meh~ music hahaha crappy equipment too, the speaker seems torn
It's said free smoothies, so we line up for it, kena 'force' to sign to support the sustainable environment thing, oh well for the sack of the smoothies and hopefully this will force monash to keep the shuttle bus free (it's sustainable transport! i shud be reward for supporting not getting charged!!)
meh, from pic u can sort of guess it's gonna be a horrible drink. The preparation to make the drink is a mess, the guy who made the drink also seems to be in a mess and my friend comment, he doesn't look passionate. Well, can't blame him cos THE GOD DARN MIXER IS GENERATED BY THAT BIKE!!! The poor dude have to cycle it to get the mixer power up. Very unique, paiseh and 不甘愿 to leave after Q for so long....

The taste? Horrible! It taste like it's going to send u sitting in your house toilet bowl for whole dau if i drank it! take a few sip, find a spot with very few or nobody pass-by, and throw it into the bin!
The banana price is sky high!! $5.98/kg was last month, now it think it's around $9sth, the highest i saw is $14-$15/kg, Gila!! 2-3 banana would easily weight 1kg edi! shipped some banana over! i wanna start selling banana! Haiz... since all those flood in Queensland and Victoria, commodities goods prices are shooting up! Some product however have insane price drop due to supermarket wars.
Starbuck, u might have heard of it or see it if u went there lately, they had change their Logo. Seriously de-evolution.... i prefer the old one lah! They change their logo to celebrate their 40th 'b'day', ugly! oh well, at least the coffee still good :D this is the place where i sampai hati spend $ on them cos regular coffee in any random cafe will easily cost as much anyway~
Walking on the street and suddenly encounter the festival. It's the Antipode Festival hosted by the greek community every year in March. Go jalan-jalan one round, too many ppl so hurry have a quick browse and move on~ dislike crowded place >_<. I think the La Dolce festival hosted by the Italian community was on the week before this. Don't read papers, so i never know when this sort of thing happen, when it happen i just sometime randomly bump into it and went gebo~ La Dolce is in Lygon hardly went there unless i want Italian food or Gelato so i never been to it, but this one i seems to be able to encounter it every year hehehe first year tak tau i thought wah why suddenly road kena block and fun fair appear out of nowhere hehehe~
For kids
ooo cute ice-cream car~ the very reason why i squeeze among the crowds hahaha i wanna get the balloon!!! My diner that night haha not greek! on my way to makan, the random very happy + high crowd was singing, dancing, cheering on the street. Dunno why but lately i often saw this in city, happy people singing, dancing and block my way =.=|| The famous Macaroon, i know this thing for very long but never buy it and give it a try, first time buying this :P from Vic mart~ Blueberry cheesecake flavor! even got a shinny cot, seriously not the normal coloring u get in a food, but taste very good! love it! now am craving for more.... darn! another fatty food add in my "i want!" list....

Finally, i think i blog about Myer renovation, now it's fully done, look v.luxury~ the Bourke st side. inside on the highest floor! 7th floor in total, huge for a departmental store. The place where i stand to take pic is an apple store :D nice view in high ground, mixture of old and new buildings
huhu, can see Taylor's college from here The old side dunno what they plan to do with it, now empty, ps that tall building that shape like a knife, the apartment i stay in during my first year of melb, my room window is facing this building and i stare at it every night :P, used to hate it cos it nvr off the light hahaha~ now am looking at it from another direction~ btw, aren't they said sth about knife shape building in feng shui have sth to do like bad for building which facing it sharp edge, sth to do with cut the luck of opponent... myer u r in danger.... or not... day day see so many ppl there kaching $_$ (many walk-by like me too hahaha) Since old myer side desserted, the sky bridge that connect it to Melbourne central become like this.... A Garden! Those plant all real! and they r baby fruit trees! nice place to lepak if u manage to snatch a good spot there.

Zest 89

Location: 89 Kingsway, Glen Waverley

I had went pass this shop numerous time but haven't got a chance to give it a try until Wai wai called me out. Apparently she's a great fans to this place, been there like couple of times a week till the boss and waitress all recognize her =.= The day when we went, they have different bunch of waitress and the boss was not in though~

Because i had a late lunch that day wasn't in to go a main, was there for dessert!! But wai wai said she's hungry and since she's was kinda on diet so we went for caesar salad. Gosh!! that was one hell of big appetizer! You get 4 huge pieces of chicken fillets! If you are not a big eater, definitely opt for sharing. The 2 of us was extremely full eating it... a coffee after the meal, they got great barrister :D Then finally the main of the day :D (u know how ppl said there's always a second stomach for dessert) This chocolate mouse is extremely good! Mouse are usually creamy and stuff but this is not, it's very very rich and not too sweet! This is almond cheesecake i think, very nice too but i tend to get sick with the taste after have too much of it hahaha~ chocolate still the best :D

Overall, great meals, great appearance, great taste, great service and good atmosphere before certain ppl start smoking =.= we didn't place a booking so.... haiz... one of the disadvantages of sitting outdoor.... and most important!! great price!!

ps: the waiter that serve us was kinda cute too :D hahahaha~

2011。开始


又到了该回去面对现实的时候了,3个月的假期感觉神马都没来得及做就结束了。这,就是所谓的幸福吧,因为开心,所以觉得短暂。
要有一段时间不能见到这个景色了这样的天气适合飞行 touch down空空的机场,地板好亮! 等待。无聊。微博中。。。入口。班机整整误点了一个小时!破晓早餐。 那个muffin甜到腻!说真的,还蛮不可思议的,困在那小小的空间几小时,接着外面景色就都变了,外面看起来又是个大晴天是吧?感觉很温暖是吧?只有15度!!这是夏天吗?

下机 - 移民局 -行李 -海关,一切超顺利的,只是行李等了很久!transit的一般行李就被放在飞机里深度的某角落的,再加上因为我某箱子贴了Fragile被摆在oversized luggage那里害我等了很久,还以为我行李不见了!?平常澳洲会很龟毛的只要有携带食物的都要过海关过很久,东西要给他们开进去看,x-ray一下才能解脱,这次居然不用,直接被放行了!!

出来以后就没有那么顺了!!我其实有book那种airport pickup的service,那王八蛋都说好了我一定是10点以后才能出来,我过关过得那么顺根本10点半不到就出来了,他们自己贪心接那么多人,你说 要是你是顾客你八点就下机,那人也承诺会来载,却meet到你的时候要你多等一个人2小时,谁会开心啊?那是什么服务态度啊!但那个人说堵车可能会要到一 点我直接打电话过去骂!我管他是不是8点就有到机场什么的,谁叫你点来啦?这根本不是班机误点的问题,根本是贪心服务态度差!白痴才要等,我累了只想回家 睡觉!!Melbourne的taxi driver还是一个个死白痴,KL taxi 一个水准,有GPS还是不会去Monash University的,没关系,由我这个foreigner教他们这些local怎么去!
当天的唯一一餐,晚餐,和housemate还有她的朋友一起,这是拉面,拉得太好弹性十足!吃得我好累。。。味道很好,只是一直吃,一直吃没见这面少过。。。

告白

I have posted about the movie, now the book :D YESH~ i found the book and bought it! The plot is pretty much the same as the movie, just some details different. Personally i like both the books and the movie equally. The book went in more detail, filled up anything u miss or don't understand from the movie (or not told by the movies)

告白 Confession have a lot of meanings, depend on how u use it. This book is about confession of the truth about certain incident, the dark side of the people, 很真的一本书,描述着角色们拿下虚伪的面具,告知读者他们真实的感觉。 真的是和透彻的展现了人完完善,也无完恶的道理。

说真的当伦理和正义分歧时,你该选哪一边?

真的是很好的一本书,很久没读到这么好的推理型小说

House of Many Ways


The sequel to Howl's Moving castle, but the story central on Charmain Baker (new character). Sophie still an important character, as well as Calcifer, Howl who disguise himself as Twinkle, oh and they have a son, Morgan :D

Favorite part is when Morgan, Calcifer and Twinkle show up :P Love the dialogue between Sophie and Howl. Love the book! If you love Howl's, u would love this as well hehe~

元宵节

记得几年前,因为确认自己无法,也不想继续向有化学的理科系前进,(因为化学会挂得很惨)决定从商,在大学开始之前拖着刚考完中六放假等成绩中的好友陪我一起恶补会计入门的东西,一个月内从lvl1跳到lvl3的读。 (觉得自己就像推销员似的硬是说服了没想要向会计之路前进的朋友一起来交钱学)

我们几个不改死性的每天在那里有聊不完的话题,还会一边抱怨一边做完老师(也是那里的校长)所给的作业,最后还带MP3边听音乐边写作业,还带零食互相分享(其他同学因该都对我们很无语吧)不过这就是我们最舒服学习的方式也说不定,毕竟都有学会(不过现在都忘得差不多了吧)

可能是看我们聊的很开心还是他自己也爱聊,老师有时候也会和我们聊些(或者罗嗦)事。有天他就说现在的年轻人都对自己文化的节日不了解之类的抱怨,其中就问到我们知道中国的情人节是那天吗?那老头估计觉得现在人都是崇洋派不会知道的,不过好歹我们小时候看很多书的~想当年哪有PS之类的高级玩具,连电脑都是奢侈品,不是每家都有的,爸妈更加视它为“delicate”物品,那是死小孩可以乱碰的,看一堆有的没的~ 好怀念知识报,知识画报,和小星星之类的读物~

中国的情人节就在元宵!原因就是在以前封建的传统社会中,年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动,但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩,元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会,未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。元宵灯节期间,又是男女青年与情人相会的时机。(@百度百科

很怀念以前和朋友相处的点滴,看到这篇文的朋友们Happy Chap Go mei!

我十岁,离婚

《Moi Nojoud, 10 ans, divorcee》是一本关于中东国家童婚真实故事,故事里的主人翁Nojoud10岁就被父亲逼迫辍学,与大她30岁的男人结婚。因为不堪被她丈夫性虐待,逃去法院并向法官提出离婚的要求。最后在律师的协助下成功离婚,成为了最年轻的离婚者,同时也迎来世界人们对童婚问题的重视。

这书是我哥哥的,偶然逛public看到买的,不过这家印刷公司不给力,很难才找到一本封面的字没有印模糊的。新年那时想看,每次一开始看就有人来找我,妈妈叫我做事之类的T_T 今天终于把它看完了!!

蛮不错的一本书,简述小女孩只想要过简单,普通的童年生活却被环境,和思想扭曲的‘大人’ 所逼而失去了拥有这简单的幸福,但是她并不像现实屈服,努力的为自己争取自己该有的童年,同时给了很多和她有相同勇气去站起来,摆脱不幸的命运。书中强调着不要抱着对中东文化还是回教的偏见来看待这是故事,把这故事当作是扩展知识的好题材,明白在世界某一角落有这么一个悲剧,别因为自己活在幸福里,而无视别人的不幸,and be ignorance!

FM 100 Hue Test

Warning: This test is extremely tiring to your eyes and require a lot of patient.

Found this when Someone share this on 微博, it examine how well do you see colour. According to the website "1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency." All you need to do is to arrange the little colored square box according to their hue order. The lower the score the better, with ZERO being the perfect score.

I lost patient half way and only score 12 @_@

Check it out! http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77
