Steamboat time!

Yes! It's steamboat time! I don't usually eat steamboat back in Malaysia. But now that I'm in Tasmania and that there isn't any place that sells steamboat in Launceston, you can just make your own. DIY. HAHA. Kidding. Anyway, my friend had been wanting to eat steamboat for quite sometime. So we decided to make our own steamboat session last Sunday. Everything is prepared and the feast began. IT WAS THE BEST NIGHT EVER. STEAMBOAT FOR DINNER. AWESOME MUCH.

It felt like home. Like I am back in Malaysia. That amazing feeling. How can I describe this moment. It's just priceless. Me and my friends are so gonna have steamboat at least once a month. 

We had tomyam for the base soup. Haha Sadly, the soup didn't turn out as great as we expected. But thanks to Joel, my senior, he has these Korean paste. So he 'modify' the soup by mixing it with the korean pastes etc. The soup turns out great. The perks of having a friend who loves cooking. Haha. The five of us (Amanda, me, Hubert, Martin and Joel) had an awesome dinner. All of us are Chinese except my housemate. Martin taught him how to use chopsticks. Haha. What's steamboat without chopsticks? You need to have chopsticks for steamboat cause that's how Chinese roll. HAHAHAHA. But we all don't know the authentic way of using chopsticks. So we taught him the easiest way which is obviously the wrong way too. We ate for hours. We were so full. No wait we were more than just full. Bloated much. Haha. We were too full that we decided to go for a walk. The walk really helped. Not as bloated but still bloated. We had so much leftovers. The steamboat session is really a good idea for gathering. We talked and laughed. So funny. Too bad there weren't much beer left for the guys. I'm sure if there's a carton of beer, they're gonna finish them that night. Or maybe not. But at least half of a carton. My friends really can drink. I enjoyed the night. 

Gonna upload some photos. Not much though. Cause we are all busy eating filling our stomach with awesome food. Haha. Definitely have to take more pictures next time!

Till here.

Hello people. I'm back for another post. So last Thursday, I went grocery shopping with my friends and housemate. Before that, we had an early dinner at KFC.

Place we went

• Market
• Woolsworth
• BWS
• Coles

:D

Bought bananas for smoothies. *thumbs up* Bananas is so expensive here! Especially in Coles and Woolies. 

Thins chips for $1.50! My friend and I are obsessed with that. We bought 10 packets in total. HAHAHA. So yummmyyyyyy. Love it.

I can't believe my neighbor bought so much groceries. He got two crates of eggs. WHAT. LOL. 

It's funny how my friend and housemate want to get beers from BWS. All of us ended up getting something for ourselves. Siao liaooooo. Both my friend and housemate each got themselves one crate of beer. I got myself Somersby! Yeah! Apple cider. I miss this so much! Haven't been drinking since I came. Haha.

We borrowed two trolleys from Woolies and put all our groceries in them. Haha. Full of food and drinks.

I can't believe how childish my neighbour is. He sat on the trolley and ask Martin to push him. What the. Such a small kid! He's older than all of us le! Walao eh this guy.

Anyways, I'm so happy that I bought the apple cider. I asked my neighbour 'Eh, not drinking tonight ar? Hahahaha. Then he asked me 'You want to drink?'. I'm like 'Yea, I feel like drinkinggggg.' He replied 'Okay okay. Let's go downstairs and drink'. HAHAHAHA.

So niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee apple cider yummyyyyyy.

Xoxo.

Grateful.

I have been wanting to write this post. Since I have the time and the mood to blog, let's get into the topic.

Grateful is the word for today. I cannot stress how grateful I am. I am really really so thankful to have met these people when I came here. 

You know how they say 'we don't meet people by accident, they are meant to cross our path for a reason'.

I can't believe how many people have helped me while I'm here. I'm so lucky to have each and everyone of them. 

First of, I want to thank my cousin's friend and a lady. If it wasn't for them, I would have left my luggages in Melbourne. ._.

I am so thankful that my mum is here with me the first week! I was so quiet back then. She talked to my housemate more than I do. And she even know the accommodation more than I do. 

My housemate! Hubert. I spelled his name wrongly. I thought it was Hilbert. But turns out to be Hubert. Anyway, he's from the Wallis island. I think that's how it's spelled? Not sure either. He is a very nice guy. Buff guy. 👍 he vacuums the floor and cleans the kitchen. He throws the rubbish. Good housemate. I'm so glad that he has a router with him. We shared our wifi. Cheers to more wifi and cheaper deal.

Ps: I only have one housemate and he's a guy. Don't think too much. He is a nice guy but nah, he has a gf. Hahaha. And I'm not into him either. But I hope it stays this way. I don't want to have six people living under the same roof. It's gonna be a chaos. It's better to have less people in a unit. It's so much easier. We have our own room of course. There's still some privacy. 

David. My former classmate. Hahahah. Hi David. :P I asked him tons and tons of questions. I kept asking and asking. About everything. Like how I should do this. Where can I get this. And stuffs. I need to thank him for helping me downloading a virtual router! Hahahha. Also helped me to bring some stuffs from Malaysia. He bakes too. Thanks for the cupcake! It's good! He also helped me in my assignment! Haha.

I met Martin while me and my mum walked back from grocery shopping. He's from Kuching. How lucky I am to meet Kuching people here. This guy. He should study economics. He knows so much about the world news. Here and there. 

I'm also grateful to have met Amanda. My friend from China. She's doing her Phd in Education. That is just wow. I found my partner to go grocery shopping with. Hehe.

Met another Kuching friend called Bryan. This guy knows computer stuffs. He is awesome man. Haha. Cause he helped me with my laptop! Now that I can surf the net without using the cable. Hehehe. Somehow, my housemate forgot his username and password. So he annually set up the router for us. ✌️ Such a nice guy. Thank you for that!

I have to thank Andrew too! I can't believe I'm still in the same uni with me. We're in the same high school. Went a levels together. I mean not together. You know what I mean. Now uni too?! Wow. I can't believe it. Haha. Anyway need to thank him for telling me that I need to get this and get. I need the access card to get into the library after office hours. And the Medibank card. Haha. I'm so blur. Didn't even know until he told me. So thank you! I appreciate your help.

Met a senior during the BBQ session. He's from Penang. Malaysia people! He loves to cook. And me and my friends we have the privilege to taste his lovely cooked food. It's awesome. We ate Kim chi fried rice. And a lot more. 

Another Phd friend that I met through my housemate. He is also doing education. They told me that I can use this to checked if I plagiarize in my assignment and stuffs. So helpful! I am really thankful! Those helpful tips really help me a lot in my assignment!

I was telling Lenians, Josh and Daryl that I hope I met more girl friends when I come here. Well it turns out to be the opposite. I still have more guy friends. But I'm so grateful to meet each and every one of them! They helped me so much! Couldn't ask for more! 

I am really thankful and grateful. I really do appreciate each and everyone of them. 

Be thankful in life and you will get more.  Always be contended and appreciate the things in life.

That's all for now.

Xoxo.

Once in a blue moon.

How should I start?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I just want to let it all out.

Things are okay. Yes. There're fine. 

Just that some people. That I encounter.  

The way they talk.
I don't know if they are just the straight forward kind of person.
 Or they just talk without processing through their brain. 

I just couldn't stand. OMG KILL ME RIGHT NOW.
HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE EXISTS. 
Am I being sensitive? I don't even know what to think anymore.
I have my limitation.
Don't try to exceed my limits.
I might just burst them all out in front of you and call you off.
I don't want to do that.
Do you realize that your words hurt others?
Or do you think that it's okay to hurt other people's feelings?
I don't usually get affected by what people say.
I don't mind if people say I'm fat. What-so-ever.
But this.
This is too much.
Please think before you talk.

Anyway, let's drop the topic.

It's been a month since I left Kuching!
How time flies.
I can't wait to go back to Kuching and eat all those good food.
I've been promoting Malaysia's good food.
I've been telling my friends that they should visit Malaysia some day!
To enjoy all those good food that are not available here. Haha.

Yay! Mummy's gonna send me parcel with all my stuffs that I requested. Hehe.
Bought some clothes online on Zalora and The Hut.
Can't wait till my parcel arrive!

I love receiving parcels and letters. So people.
SEND ME SOME OKAY. THANK YOU.

 Tim Tam. It's so yummy when you eat is as a straw.
What I mean is.
Prepare a cup of hot milk.
Taking the tim tam diagonally and suck the milk up through the tim tam.
Use the tim tam as a straw.
The tim tam is gonna melt.
So before it melts, eat it.
It's so much nicer than eating the tim tam alone.
So if you have tim tam with you, do try. :)

I've been taking selfies lately. A lot of selfies. Siao liao. 

Been going to the library almost everyday. FREE WIFI. WHY NOT UTILIZE THE FACILITIES HERE. HAHAHA.

Omg. The other day I came to the library and it was so noisy. 

Left side noisy. Right side also noisy.

I'm so not gonna go to the same place again.

I FINALLY GET TO RUN. Although it is just a short distance, but I'm satisfied! *happy* I finally get to sweat after so long! I seldom sweat here. It's so dry here.

I also get to play basketball. Yay. Double the happiness. I'm a happy girl.

Woke up at 8.23 a.m cause I'm going to Coles with my friend from China. :)

I can't believe we spent hours there. Like seriously.

It was so nice going grocery shopping with her. Haha.

Probabaly because she's a girl.

Cause I normally go grocery shopping with the guys.

I'm definitely gonna go grocery shopping with her again.

But guess what. The night before, I put my clothes into the dryer. And by the time the dryer is done, it's already 11 at night. The laundry room is already locked.

MY LAUNDRY IS IN THE FREAKING DRYER FOR THE WHOLE FREAKING NIGHT BECAUSE THE LAUNDRY ROOM IS LOCKED.

HOW STUPID OF ME. ._.

THAT IS NOT ALL.

I LOCKED MYSELF OUT OF MY PLACE THIS MORNING BECAUSE I BROUGHT THE WRONG KEY OUT. 

I ACCIDENTALLY MISTOOK MY STUDENT ID WITH MY ROOM KEY.

 I couldn't excess neither to the laundry room nor my own place.How smart of me. Thank god I brought my phone out with me.

I'm so glad my friend is with me. So we called the security and told him that I locked myself out of my room.

Got myself two boxes of strawberries! 2 for $6! Cheap. Haha.

That's it for my update. I will try to update more on my blog.

This blog is dying. Oh my.

Till then.

Xoxo.

Hello people!
Time flies! It's already the 3rd month of the year!
So far life is okay here. Not too bad not too good.
Sometimes I do feel lonely. Imagine eating alone in the kitchen. That's so sad. Thank god my housemate has this speaker which I can use. So at least there's music accompanying me while I eat. Haha.
I'm glad that there's only two people living in the 'sort-of-share-house' now. I hope no one else is moving in. Cause there won't be much of a chaos later.

It's so dry over here. Have to put moisturizer on every single time.

I've been uploading photos on my Facebook every single day. Siao liao. I have to stop doing that! Later people think I siao siao. But I'm so tempted to just upload photos. I need to stop.

Anyway, I went to this trip last Saturday (1st of March). To a few places. I didn't enjoy much. The only thing that I enjoyed about being in this trip is FEEDING THE KANGAROOS. HAHA.
It's my first time feeding the kangaroos! So cute!
But I prefer the kangaroos in Perth. They are much more fluffier and cuter than the ones here.
I didn't enjoy the chocolate factory. I didn't enjoy the cheese factory. I didn't enjoy the raspberry farm.
Although we can try the free sample. But still. It's a no-no for me.

So far university life is okay. I only have classes on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. And I am free for the rest of the week. Even on those days where I have classes to attend, it'll only be for two hours and that's it. I don't know whether I should feel sad or happy about it. I'll just remain neutral.

I've been loving peanut butter with bread! I've been eating peanut butter with bread every single day! It's just so yummy I couldn't resist! Toast the bread and just spread the peanut butter all over it. Yummy in my tummy.

Here's some pictures. Well, four to be exact. HAHAHAHA.

Till then.

Xoxo.
