Bad traffic


I must confess.. I LOVE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT! I’ve just reached home after an hour of slow moving traffic to Preston, hindered by hundreds of traffic lights and trams. What a total waste of time! I reckon I would reach faster if I took the rail or even cycle as the roads to the northern suburbs during the weekend are insane. All of them!

Anyway, while being stuck in the jam, I thought of a cheeky idea (and only a true Malaysian would think of this). I decided to use those small roads to reach Preston and get that yummy loaf of white bread from Bread Top, assuming that Victoria’s road system are all in blocks and hence would make it easy for me to just slid through the bad traffic. Oh, how wrong am I… Not only did I fail miserably to ‘slid through the traffic’, I also hit a couple of dead ends and got lost in the labyrinth of god-knows-where. In the end, I gave up and drove home, which was just 10 minutes away.

Moral of the story is; do not go to any Northern suburbs by car on a Saturday! L

Favourite music of Oct 2012




I’m in LOVE with this song. Really, seriously. I have been replaying this over and over again in Youtube. It’s just amazing how such simple words and short lyrics touch my ears.. =)

Guest house


So before my already bad writing skills goes down the drain, I figured I ought to write a new blog to refresh myself on some decent writing. The most important update would be Terence and I moving into our new place at Coburg! *gasp* No, we didn’t buy this place.. Ptf! As if we could afford the repayment at the moment. It has been around 2 months now and every weekend since we moved in had been a busy one. You might have noticed that I did not dedicate a special post for my new abode but that’s because I didn’t have the time to take a good picture of it! The fact that it hasn’t been sunny and bright also played a role in my lack of enthusiasm. Being a Malaysian, my mood is very dependent on the sun.

The first weekend after we moved in was the weekend I went back to Malaysia for PYA’s wedding. Oh, it was as hectic as expected but such a lovely, lovely wedding. Everyone was gorgeous especially the bride and undoubtedly, people had an immense fun – messing the groom and all. =)

The weekend after that was jam packed with clean ups and unpacking all the stuff along with setting up the necessary areas because Aunt Shally and family were coming to visit. It was fun having them here and catching up on life. I reckoned this is probably the first time I’ve chat with my Aunt and Uncle as an adult! Naturally, we (niece & nephews) are always seen as kids; so to have that transition and conversed like an adult to an adult was certainly a nice one.

Right after my aunt and uncle was Truc, Terence brother-in-law. Truc’s a new dad and he was missing Steph and Ysabelle terribly. It’s hard for new dad/mom to stay away from their baby. Hehhe! Was so adorable to see him talking about Ysabelle and how affectionate they are.

The most recent guests visit was Darling Ivy, Shan & Sau Jong! They were here for about 2 weeks although for a bit of time, they went to Sydney. Oh how amazing to have them over! It’s almost like Nilai College time all over again, minus Jean and plus Sau Jong. It made us long for more old friends to make that big step and migrate over to Melbourne. Ivy was hilarious! She don’t really recall the places’ name initially but had improved a lot later on. Shan totally impressed me on how much research she did on Melbourne prior to coming over. Totally a savvy traveller and I can’t wait to travel with her next time! She can do all the planning and guiding. Sau Jong was on bacon and boobie frenzy! Hahhahaha! Its too bad we didn’t get to visit one of the more exotic club else he would have hit all his objectives for this visit!
~Still going strong! Yeng's not forgotten too~

I was telling Terence that at the rate our guests are coming, we ought to be opening a B&B place. Bath and Bed! Hahahaha! No way I’m going to cook. Perhaps I should go into tourism too?
