Harmony Day

Saturday, March 17, 2012

Few days ago houssie came across this website which was promoting harmony day...




And so we decided to go :)

That's patchy and thumnus sitting on my lap while their owner was driving hehe.

To be honest I have no idea what the day is about...to promote harmony perhaps? A friend suggested it might be a day to raise awareness against bullying.

We paid 5 bucks for entrance and here are some of the things we saw.


meet Iggy!
he's a handsome lab trained to be a guide dog! Iggy was attracted to thumnus and we thought awww.... until his owner said his life mission was to make all soft toys look like some road kill 0_o
apparently he's been destroying some soft toys at home lol.


so cute this two!
they had a pen with chickens, sheeps, deer and a spotted pig.
sounds like some big rojak bowl I must say. You can pay 3 bucks and play with them as long as you want :)


There were cultural performances too. We only stayed long enough to watch the Indian dance and some singing.

Had mos burger in Sunnybank after that and headed home cause it was raining :(



wore my favourite shade today!

Soon autumn will come and the maxi dresses will have to go in the box. boo :(

another year

Who knew it would be so difficult to part again even if you've done it more than once in the past year?

This year, on the same day, I return to the airport again to be on the same flight back to Brisbane.

Only daddy and mommy came to send me off this time. And as I hugged her, my nose turned sour and I had to purposely avoid eye-contact with her after that to avoid bursting into tears.

I thought it would be easier this time, knowing that I'm flying back to a not-so-unfamiliar land, with my houssie waiting to pick me from the airport. But saying goodbye again for another year brought upon a different level of sorrow upon me.

I hate parting with my loved ones again. But perhaps it's also because I know exactly what I'm flying back to. That dreaded feeling of going back to something that I'm not even sure if I want it anymore. But I have to bear the results of my choices and I will finish what I've started even though I've grown to dislike it to quite an extent.


Who's there to tell you what to do when you suddenly realized what you've been going after is not what you want?


Master's gathering

Last night was the first time in my entire year here that I had a gathering with my fellow coursemates.

The venue was a classy Italian restaurant by the port =)



usual vain shot in the car xD

we were paranoid that we wouldn't be able to find the place so we set out to leave the house early and...

unexpectedly we arrived half an hour earlier swt.

the place wasn't that hard to find afterall.



housemate gladly volunteers to help me take pics when there are nice backgrounds lol.

after a while, the sun started to set so housemate got the idea of shooting silhouettes.









i like the next one!



housemate's idea of a pic inside a pic






the original pic I took in my phone LOL.

I must say...why my housemate so talented and creative one har?


Later when all the ladies arrived we settled down for our banquet style dinner.

No pics of the food because I was busy eating and figuring out what I'm putting into my mouth haha wtf.

Honestly, I have no idea what half the menu was about. The only thing I recognised was olive and risotto @.@

And dessert was tiramisu and chocolate mousse xD

I eventually found out from my coursemate beside me that I've been eating veal and some roll up pasta with ham and spinach lol.




the only pic I have of dinner, still waiting for more group pics from coursemate.
btw, left is Lauren and right is Clair =) both are very funny and intelligent ladies.

went bar hopping for thre first time in Brissy after that. not gonna talk much about it but I notice that the girls here really dress pretty and look pretty for night outs!

Makes me feel so... ordinary, sigh.


ok lah, no time for self-pity T____T

I'll be emersing myself in clinic work for the next 2 weeks! Trying my best to close up all my cases before I head home for my holiday~

Boyfie will be picking me up from the airport, can't wait! =)

Another trip up north

And so...we decided that we wanted more of the north coast so this weekend we loitered around the Westfield mall in Northlakes.

Going to the mall only means one thing in my dictionary =)

Even though I always refer to what I do as "damage" but honestly, I've never been able to buy so many gorgeous stuff at such low cost.

Shopping back home will never bring me the same satisfaction anymore, le sigh.





what I wore on that day. Super love this dress because of the back-design xD
and it's made of thin and comfy material, perfect for the weather now.



the 2 new additions to my wardrobe *heart*




Went to Woodypoint to catch the sunset after that =)





I has a housemate with good photography skills *glee*


Counting down the days till the real holidays come :(

Road trip!

Since the first year of our Masters is finally over, housemate and I decided to have a mini road trip to the Sunshine Coast!

We did't really prepare much to be honest. Just bought a fleece mat for 10 bucks and brought a bag of chips LOL.




camwhore sessions on the way xD

First stop was Eumandi Market where there were over 500 stalls selling handcrafts and some local goods. Didn't take alot of pics of the stalls because I was busy looking at stuffs heh.


that's my housemate cum bigbang and gossip girl kaki *hearts*


a banner with lots of cute sayings. can click the pic to enlarge!


puppets singing! the dude behind has strings tied to every limb of his body to move them @.@"


Gourmet calamari! so says the board haha. and it's actually quite yummy!



Saw a very old school merry-go-round that caught my attention =)


After that housemate brought us to the malls famous in the area.

And I did more damage to my wallet T___T



Haih seriously....I don't think I'll ever get bored of the shopping here. I MEAN LOOK AT THOSE DESIGNS!


I bought everything on me from Aussie, the top, the bikini, the skirt, the sandals!


Last stop we decided to try out our new fleece mat at the beach. Housemate and I were contemplating of buying a set of bucket and shovels for the beach but then we thought that we'd look a wee bit over-age to play with that haha.


saw Maxine's car!


the beach!! *kicks off sandals and runs!*


I spy someone fishing

the most relaxing sight ever =)






Felt good to have my feet in the waves =)



One year down and another to go...oh i'm hating and lurving this place much.

the attitude of people in the service line
the difficulty of renting or even viewing a damn house
the scorching sun
NO FREE WIFI
nothing comes for free, even sauce for your meals
the constant walking
