My Bucket List

the end of winter and the end of august month, and i somehow could not hide the tingling excitement sensation in my heart.. no more wrapping yourself up in the boring same old jacket, sis visit to Brisbane during my birthday and just another 3 more months of torture till i am back home.

do you guys have a bucket list? i do not consider myself too young to have a bucket list. bucket list is pretty much like 100 things to do before you die or perhaps to sound better, bucket list is a way to stop putting off your dreams for "someday" to a definite day.

i might have completed 10% of my bucket list so far and as i progress through my life journey, i shall add more in. as for now, there are some really ridiculous stuffs in my list but oh well, who knows dreams might just become reality? (not by inception method of course).









1) own a Lexus at the age of 40 (sports car model preferably)

2) attend a Korean band concert (between ft island, cn blue or super junior)

4) Meet Dong Hae/ Jae Jin (date with them if possible..screw me!)

3) watch the most anticipated FIFA match LIVE. (eg: germany vs argentina)

4) Perform by playing guitar in my sis/ best friend wedding ( if only they do allow a disastrous performance..lol)

5)Be the renowned Hospital Pharmacy specialized in one specific field

6) Do charity work in a tragedy area by offering my pharmacy skills!

7) Have my own Music band with me being the drummer/guitarist! (now, who is willing to join my band?)

8) To learn Drum of course!

9) To eat all the world most famous DESSERTS!!

10) Publish my own cookbook. Go on a helicopter ride (i am a not-too-good cook yet)

OK I shall stop at the 10th. now, i am wondering how many people are laughing their heads off reading my bucket list?? and mum might just say i am day-dreaming again. but i guess one day, when i re-read this post again, i will be either laughing at myself or smiling from head to toe if i happen to fulfill them all. lol. now go and figure out your bucket list too!

The Other 21.

before my blog gets musty again, i am popping in a short brief post of my friend's birthday. his 21st in fact, another one who is officially in the adulthood club.


Wishing "Happy Birthday" is a pleasant thing to do,
Especially when it's being wished for someone as nice as you,
And with these special wishes, is an added note to say,
Here's hoping you'll be happy in the year that's on the way.
Many happy returns and
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, TKC!

his super awesome French Birthday Cake by the name of Miroula.
apparently, it was creme brulee in the middle of the cake.

A super ghostly shot of him blowing the candles.

no longer the small ah bi bi.

at the ever so 'famous' Southbank bridge that links to the Brisbane city.
so this is exactly what you will walk through Siang when you are here to visit me the next winter!

Sze luan with the impressive funky cool wacky hair cut in which she carries it really well.

The Last of Melbourne

i am so drained and exhausted recently with the hectic uni schedule. Classes finished at 5pm for three days continuously and even if my classes happened to finish earlier, I was stranded in uni, doing lab reports with my course mates or if my classes happened to start later, I was forced to be in uni earlier for my tutoring job. either way, I am exhausted. and that's not even the peak of my uni yet and I had not even commence my placement in Pharmacy. life in a few weeks later would be a nightmare of rushing to complete assignments and rushing for buses to pharmacies. the torture of a pharmacy student or perhaps it was just only me.

it is Ekka Holiday today and i spend my whole day glued at the study table doing my lab report. and since i am pretty done with it, I shall blog the final one about my Melbourne trip. boy, how much i miss those times, not doing anything except eating and touring. the final two awesome places that I would to share with you guys is Old Town Mamak and Windsor Hotel (the oldest hotel in Melbourne)


<span class=
I fell in love with the Old Town Mamak instantly for both the services and the awesome food. amazingly, they had 'ah ne' working there, tossing the roti canai. that's something not to be missed in Melbourne, especially when you had not tasted home Malaysian food for nearly six months. and especially when your friends back home uploaded pictures of the awesome Malacca or Jonker Street food in facebook. food in Old Town mamak is great but portion too small for me.


<span class=
one of the best and most expensive Hi-tea i ever had was at Windsor Hotel. but it was totally worth the money with the great delicacies that they served ranging from scones to macaroons to desserts. i am craving for it so much right now and believe me those small portions turned out to be pretty filling.

jeez, i miss Melbourne terribly. It is not that I hate Brisbane, I do love Brisbane but living in Melbourne would have been much better. i been thinking a lot lately and I thought I should have really smacked myself hard because I could have been one of the luckiest girl to have the opportunity to study overseas. Back then, I always lamented about not going to UK and right now I am complaining of not studying in Melbourne. I should appreciate what I have and right now, I am glad to be in overseas at least pursuing for what i want.

Flea Market Obsession


i may be a cheapskate buying stuffs from a flea market but so what?
in fact, that's the best place to get retro and vintage stuffs.
i was lucky enough to spot and buy a golden bangle watch for 3 bucks. not really exclusive but good enough for my satisfaction.

lesson learnt from flea market shopping : saw something you like? grab it straight away. never have 2nd thoughts because if you do, you will lose them right under eyes!

i lost two stuffs from the market. big mistake. big regret. but oh well, at least i had the watch to repay my lost.

Autumn's Concerto


i would regret for my whole life if i had never watched this amazing drama.
this Taiwan series ain't so new anymore and i am kinda out-dated actually. but better late than never.
i never really like Taiwan series with their usual over-reacting acting and really ridiculous fantasy dreams but this one is so different. the best of all time.

they had the most amazing casts in it and secretly, I am in love with Van ess Wu. He wasn't my favourite at all, not even in Meteor Garden or F4 but seriously I could not let my eyes off him. His acting was pretty good and his body was H.O.T.
now, who say small eyes people are not HOT?
he proved it.
so i am hot too.

and xiao xiao bin was so cute too. the small boy who appeared naked in the series. poor you to have your 'nudity' shown to millions of audiences.


please please do watch this series cause it is too good to be missed.
i cried like crazy, laughed like a mad person and went 'awwwww'' over the romance scenes. it wasn't just about romance, the whole plot was just captivating.
so do watch it!
and you will know why i said vaness wu is hot.

Philip Island


i am blogging so much about Melbourne lately but i just have the urge to continue on. it is just the feeling of wanting to tell the whole world about how amazing my winter break was.
alright, i promise this shall be my 2nd last post about my winter break.

my sis and I followed a tour trip to Philip Island in Melbourne.
it wasn't really an amazing trip for us as we ended up quarreling with some "China Aunties" who claimed we stole her bag and seat. seriously, if it wasn't because of her age, i would have totally whacked her. i bet you will do that too if someone yelled at you for being a thief! COME ON, i am pretty sure my bag is more expensive than yours!

apart from that, Philip Island was a lovely place to visit. Churchill Island, Koala Sanctuary, Nobbie Centre and The Penguin Watching Centre. we did not took many pictures unfortunately.

in the Churchill Island which was actually a farm with Blacksmith centre, horses, kangaroos, sheeps and etc. and we saw the sheep shearing process. pretty terrifying for the poor sheep

the bald sheep shivering in cold during the naked winter.

everything is so peaceful in the farm.
the power of nature.

the breath taking sunset view at the Nobbie Centre.

the tired us who took the picture after being scolded by the China aunties. pissed off.

sadly i wasn't lucky enough to spot any seals in the Nobbies centre so i ended up kissing a seal in the poster to make my money worth it.

and the best part of the trip was watching the penguins, rising from the sea, wobbling back to their nests. the beauty of nature. unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take any pictures.
in summary, Philip Island is a nice place to visit but never ever join a trip loaded with 'China aunties'. I don't hold grudges against them but being called a thief when you are not, that's so not impressive.
