Dusty Blog~

I was told that I haven’t been updating my blog. Basically... it is because I'm lazy. Keke.... If not it's always been an ordinary day that has nothing to share; which is almost every day.

Weekdays work, weekends rest/seminars/outing with my little boy if I have the chance to bring him out. Chances of bringing him out have decrease drastically due to the inconvenience of transport. I feel guilty for not bringing him out but recently we shifted to a new neighbourhood, therefore he has a new place to explore. I think he has already got used to the neighbourhood already as he knows the route so well. I think we should look for a new route around the neighbourhood; luckily it is bigger therefore more place to explore, if not he is going to throw tantrum again. My little naughty boy but he’s still my precious boy.

Working has taken a big portion of my time, very occupied but somehow, I have lesser time with my family. Weekends, get to spend a few hrs with them and I’ve to settle some personal things here and there. And now… the process of shifting is such a hassle. Packing and unpacking. The headache problem now is the amount of space we’re given, it’s kinda small and we do not have enough cabinet to put our stuffs. We need to think of a way to solve the problem. Throw away things? More cabinets? No idea… has been tired physically so I wanna rest so much. But it’s always fully packed with programs on the weekends that I do not get to relax. I just wanna hibernate so much. As I type, my eyes are getting dry and having the urge to sleep. I sleepy for 5 – 6 hrs, woke up early at 8am even on a weekend. I wish I’m in bed together with my little boy and cuddle in the cold cold a/c and rest for the weekend. Today’s already Saturday! Why does the weekend pass so fast… it’s faster than a blink.

Now, I’m waiting for some confirmation which will seriously make my day. I’m waiting for something…. Something that will be precious to me too. I hope that I will be able to receive it soon.

Weather has been weird, rain and shine, not ordinary shine but extremely SHINE!!! Bling bling!!!! Walking to office from the train station in a daily weekday routine, tanned my shoulders and arms. My mum’s complaining that I should carry an umbrella to protect my skin but I’m simply lazy. *Falling asleep* Needs some entertainment if not… a really nice cosy bed. I feel like going to IKEA so much. Can we go?

Oh no! Seems like I’m boring everyone already. OH! I picked up a habit from my boss…. MH Fox… to take picture of my lunch or food before I eat so that I could post it up on FB. And I’m entering FB as much as my email, but staying in FB much longer then email. Coz….. playing FB games, kinda hooked onto them. Oh no! Couldn’t keep my eyes open. Dozing off mode~

*Playing FB’s Café World again* 10 mins/15 mins cooking time…. I’m so kinda hooked onto it. Hmm… we have taken some photos. It’s not with me now, once I get it compiled will upload it soon. Keke….

Ciaoz~

Home Sweet Home Soon~

The days in Australia is going to end and another phase of my life is going to start back in Singapore.

I heard Singapore's market is quite bad. So... Wish me luck in finding a job. I cant wait to be back home and see my family, my boy and my friends. Miss all of them badly. Especially my silly boy.

I've recently visit one of the Japanese Spitz breeder here... So excited to see them, all the furballs running around the yard. They're really of bigger size as compared to Singapore's. But they're really solid and of very thick coat even in Summer now. They're extremely beautiful and character is really good and friendly. They were so excited to see visitors and greeting us. So cute... Simply love them.

Oh god... it's so late already. I better go slp already. See you back in Singapore~

*~*Polar Bear in Action*~*

Dear showed me this video the other day and it's really cute and funny. See how good that girl can act. It's so funny lah.... Anyway there's quite alot of pictures taken over the 2 months, will compile it and update it soon.

*~*Missing home badly*~*

It's been another 4+ months spent here in the boring Brisbane, at least to me is boring. There's nothing much you can do here, most of the places close as early as 4pm on sunday, weekdays, 5 or 6pm. The only day you can shop till "late" is Friday as they closes at 9p.m. I don't really club (seems like only pubs here in the city), therefore basically there's nothing much else to do here on weekends.

We stay at home almost everyday, other then visiting the groceries or just don't wanna cope at home, we will go window shopping ard the city area. Life's here is really boring. Not like back in Singapore, every weekend, we will hang out with friends till late, bring our fatty out for his walks or even special outings.

Finally it's almost time to go home. Home Sweet Home~ Although it's abt another month or so before we can head back home. But it's going to be soon. I'm already so excited and anxious to go home. Missing all the yummy food. The chinese food here are seriously cannot be compared with Singapore's. It's just not the right taste, mostly too oily and saltish. Probably it's more accustom to the Australian style. The famous Krispy Kreme Donuts here, ok the trend of the donuts here seems like still quite alright. It's not cheap ok. $2.30 for Original Glaze. $2.60 for assorted. $2.90 for filled. Gosh... luckily the currency exchange now is not so high if not each donut can cost abt a min S$3 which is a ridiculous price. We bought half a dozen of assorted and try. OMG~ Both of us were wondering why everybody's praising how good the donuts are, it's a must try thing here in OZ. It's SO SUPERB DUPER SWEET!!!! The whole donut is covered in thick sugar lah. Those chocolate coated... it was so sweet till our teeth aches. Yes! It's that sweet. Felt so much gonna get diabetes. Wondering how come they can stand that type of sweetness, saltishness and oiliness in the food. Feel so unhealthy eating them although we aren't THAT healthy as we enjoy fast food.

The menu for McDonald's here aren't the same. Most of the items are beef burgers. What we mostly eat are the Cheese burger as it's the cheapest. Haha... And there's this 5 wing pack from KFC which is a lot cheaper than those normal meals which is a min. of A$10 of little bit of certain things. After we know they've the 5 wing pack, we normally juz get that with the popcorn chicken snack box (tiny size of both) at A$3.25. Oh about sizing, their large here is the medium size of SG's. Weird har.. thought they're considered the Western country expecting their portion to be bigger as compare to the price, but it's not! It's 1 size smaller. Their upsize aren't 50 cents. It's about $1.10 depending on which fast food restaurant. There's no Hotcake Meal here (but if I'm lucky i get it. coz the cashier will say, there's no meal for Hotcakes which I totally don't understand why as I've purchased quite a no. of times.) Sob~ There's no big breakfast here. And I've got to pay additional to get a sausage to go with. It's so limited lah. I miss Singapore's food... haha... McDelivery~

Typing all these are making me hungry~

I'm counting down to my flight back to Sg! Hope it will arrives soon. We've got to clear up the apartment and pack our stuffs. OMG... so many things. And yes! We have a humongous CPU (compare to the tiny little CPU or fused with the monitor type which are in trend now) to pack, 19" monitor which is quite heavy too. Think those 2 are as heavy as our luggage already.

I'm really tired... will cont. with more stuffs tml. Ciaoz~ Girls... wait for me... i'm missing out a lot of fun back there.

*~*Pictures from Mid Sept - Oct*~*

~September 2008 and 10th October 2008~



Went to Myer Centre to walk walk and help Fel Dar to look for her lip gloss. Silly me, I missed it the other time i went, and happened to see it this time, with a special packaging. So I do not need to go to Chinatown dunno wat Flagship shop. LOL... Now awaiting for her reply and I end up getting myself a Bloom Peach flavour Lip balm. Due to the cold weather here (still cold but not very cold lah, and not enough water, therefore my lips chapped, Smell so nice lor. Simply love it.

Bought my niece a bikini, it's on sale. Keke.. Thinking she goes swimming weekly so just get her that lor. Keke... Simply too cute too.

*~*August & Some September Peeps*~*

Last day of August is Brisbane's River Festival. They will have having a long 30 mins of fireworks. We went to Botanical Gardens, following the crowd wondering where is the best place to see. Went down this really steep and soft (dried leaves and loose soil) slope, Found ourselves seat and we brought Keasha along. There're really alot of people and were picnicking. Brought those roller trolley filled with their goodies. We thought we were late, therefore didnt get anything. Haiz... But we really enjoyed it, although we missed out the Singapore's Firework Festival this year. Keke...

Having Keasha around really boost up my days, although she can be naughty at times, abit stubborn, but she's simply just a sweet little girl. Although having a dog means additional chore, but this is something that I will never mind doing. Those days without one, is really.... disastrous. We were always stuck to the computer most of the time, goes out only when necessary or during special events. Now, we will go to the park, seeing her running around while we enjoy the cold weather and chat. Now.. really grown attached to her. OMG~

In another 2 months or so, I will be free from Australia, back to the HOT or Rainy Singapore. With all the yummy food, my frens, my family and of coz MY PRECIOUS BOY!!!! I really feel guilty for making him suffer like that. Although he's taken care of, but he's nv left my side for so long. At most 2 weeks when i'm off for a short holiday, with him still staying at home, with his comfy bed. And because of me, coming over to Oz, he went thru the ticks period with my parents, which I believe he felt really depressed. And now, he's all shaved down again in order to grow back his beautiful coat as there was a patch of saliva stain on his side.. or mayb he did that on purpose in order to be Quill. LOL... But NO!!! I'm not going to let that happen to him. Keke...

Looking forward to going back Singapore~ Enjoy the pictures~

*~*A Virtual Gift for my Little Boy*~*

*~*Happy Birthday to My Little Boy!!!*~*

*~*Healthier Days*~*

I've been sleeping early (as compared to last time) and waking up early. It's like slping at latest 12am and waking up between 7 - 9am. What a healthier lifestyle I'm having. Kinda weird that I can actually get up.

On days like that, once I'm awake, I'll spend hours on my computer unless I need to go out. I will do household chores. Surprisingly that I will actually do house chores and not just sit at the computer and got stuck there. Time pass really fast when I'm at the computer, not knowing what the hell am I doing, can be surfing net, blogging, youtubing, checking email constantly, watching animes/movies/serials. So many things that you can do with a computer. Life without it is really as close as nothing else you can do. LOL... I know can always do sports or other stuffs out there, but computer is really fun too.

Remember I went to the Brisbane's Royal Show - Ekka on 9th Aug 2008. Oh! Oppz.. I didnt mentioned about it. Shiro did. Keke... My bad! Ok! The Ekka Show is basically a yearly Fun Fair affair. It was held at RNA Grounds, very big area but it's really fun walking around it. There's lotsa food, rides, booths of games which gives attractive stuff toys. Even the Dog Show, Cattle Show!! We played some of the games and got myself 2 tiny toys which is not very nice. And after tries of the games, we didnt manage to get those big big stuff toys. *Disappointed* And Dearie cheer me up with a cute Blue Pony (imitation). Sadly there's no pink. Their stuff toys are simply cute. Their pony stuff toys are all not the original though. Keke... We had cotton candy, lime juice and some other food. We spent most of our time at the Dog Show as we were waiting for Japanese Spitz show to be on. And was informed that around 3pm will be their turn to be shown but it's not until almost 5pm that they were finally shown. Pictures can be viewed from Shiro's Blog.

We played games, window shopped around the Show Bags area until it's time for their fireworks. Their show bags are simply attractive. Just wanna buy all of them. LOL... I see alot of people got plenty of show bags but I didnt get any. Sob... Coz I only like 3 of them - Hello Kitty Set, Tinklebell Set & Winnie the Pooh Set, about $20 each bag. But when I pointed out the HK set to Dear, he was like saying cardboard leh or look fragile leh, cannot use one lah. Was really turned off. Therefore got nuttin there except for the Blue Pony which Dear named it "Lama". Don't know why either. But somehow we're stuck with that name for it. And I hug it to slp every night.

Dear made yummy food for supper telling me it's Big "Breakfast" - Bread with jam, scrambled egg & Sausages. Looks yummy! But I'm tired and gonna cut down on supper.

*~*4th - 20th August 2008*~*

Been staying at home, seldom go out unless needed such as getting groceries or walks for Keasha. Kinda lost contact with the outside world. I know that’s sad but it’s really that boring here for us. Haiz…

Life’s been usual here…. The Boring Style~ Haven been window shopping either. Haiz… Simply lazy!

Lately, I've been making myself to blog. Haha... And I've been really weird lately, as I do normally slp till quite late, but I've been waking up real early, as early as 7am. That's kinda weird. Haha... But it's something good too. I will get tired earlier and slp early. Therefore, to the healthier lifestyle. Sleep early, wake up early. Keke...



~Keasha @ Botanical Gardens~

*~*19th - 31st July 2008*~*

Life’s been boring since we got back here, catch up with plenty of rest and been lazing ard at home, and did cleaning up of the apartment and everything’s back to the Boring Style. Until Keasha arrives, she brings us some life, as she’s so lovely and having a dog for me is always something I want. Without a dog in my life is really killing me. And you know what? Dear’s Chinese zodiac is Dog. See how fated I’m with Dogs. Keke…

*~*14th - 18th July 2008*~*

~14th July 2008~

Today, we brought Shiro for his regular Pro Heart Jab and at the same time to see what that big purple bump was. Got the bump all cleaned up n was shaved right down to the SKIN!!!! Haiz.. no choice it’s for his gd.

After that, we went Pet Movers to stock up on his stuffs. Bought his rawhides, milk, treats & supplements. Haiz… Another bomb which can last for 6 mths. Keke… And got some rest before meeting Crystal for Seoul Garden in the evening. Craving for it.. so yummy~ LOL….

Later at night, met up with Josie & Willy at the Airport. Haiz.. another place we cant bring Shiro along as Willy need the internet access to get his work done, therefore no choice. Haiz…. Willy was almost bz on his laptop the whole nite. And Dear’s used his laptop awhile too surfing his Japanese anime. Den later Josie wanna surf Gucci & LV’s website and Gucci’s website’s killing us as it’s so SUPERB DUPER SLOW!!!!!

Had fun and it will be another 6 mths before we meet up again as I’ll be leaving for Australia again on the 18th Jul. Haiz… 2 weeks juz pass so FAST!!! Hope the days in Australia will pass as fast so that I’ll be back in Singapore for GOOD!!! Lol….

~15th July 2008~

We were in the office earlier in the day and headed to Sim Lim Sq again to get some stuffs before heading to Takashimaya for dinner. We bought some gifts for Gong gong! A nicely customized keychain and the rat stuff toy. LOL.. I know the stuff toy is not practical but it’s cute and it’s Gong Gong’s Chinese zodiac.

Today is Dear’s grandpa’s birthday! Happy Birthday Gong Gong! We had dinner at Crystal Jade (Takashimaya). They’ve got really yummy food.

~16th July 2008~

Getting our things done… brought Fatty’s stuff over to my parents’ place… and some other things which I cant really remember LOl…

~17th July 2008~

Today was at home till evening as we both had our own appointments but Dear’s appt was cancelled the last min, therefore he stayed at home n do his own stuffs while I met up with Janet, Serene & Elton. Reminded Dear to remember to feed my fatty as it’s always my chore to do so. Dear’s only there to provide some play time n love. So I was kinda worried. But luckily he did feed him after all. I met up with Fel first to get some stuffs from her as the rest were not there yet. She look really tired as she didn’t had enough slp the night b4. Den I walked ard Wisma after she left, Elton was earlier than the girls, so was getting stuffs n he waited… keke… Sry… Den followed by Serene & Janet. Was kinda awkward at first as after graduation, we didn’t meet up with Elton and the only time we saw him was at the Sch Closing Ceremony 2 years ago. But things went quite well after that. Keke… Had dinner at Food Republic at Wisma. Had Hokkien Mee, one of the food that I craved. Den we had desserts. We later chill out at Paragon’s Coffee Bean. Really had a great time. Thankx…. (Now back in Brisbane, I’m already missing my girlfrens and everything back there.)

Intend to take train but I missed the last train. Sob… and luckily Serene’s such an angel (小仙子) to send me home. Thankx… Coz her home and jayson’s is totally different way. Thankx a lot~

Dear got hungry later, and we head off to Simpang Bedok for Murtubak as we still haven had that since we got back. Actually we missed out quite a no. of food that we didn’t get to eat. Sinful but it’s worth it. LOL…

~18th July 2008~

Today is the day for us to fly back to Australia. But we still have some appts to attend. We sent Fatty back which is one thing that I really cant bear to. But we’ve no choice. Brought him over and was talking to him a lot on the journey there. Sry Dear, I was hurrying therefore forget to let you saying Fatty before bringing him up. He seems to understand what I said in the car, once I put him down, he stay put and was prepared. Hope he stays a good boy.

We had a lunch appt with Dear’s colleagues @ Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice (ard Novena area). It was not bad, and we headed off to Sim Lim Sq again, to get some stuffs and Peter tagged along as he was early for his next appt. We all had fun and we headed home soon to get our luggage prepared and headed off to the airport soon after.

Australia…. I’m coming back….reluctantly. It’s another 7 hours flight.
