o44. It's The Final Curtain Call.

The year twothousandnine is coming to a close in just 6 more hours.
If you are one of those people who felt like.. Omgsh what happened to the rest of the year?! *panichyperventilatedieeeee*, don't worry cos you're not alone! At least, that's what I thought. But if you really take time to think about what you have done, even especially little things, you'll be quite surprised, and maybe even impressed! *gives reader a pat on the back* :)

I thought about what have I achieved, with God's provision and guidance, this year.


1. Go for my first mission trip to Sabah! This was truly a dream experience because I knew I was experiencing such a big task, and that made me grow in many ways. This was where I got to marvel at how God can guide me as an individual and also mold me as a servant and disciple.

2. Spend more time with my family. And to think that I can't love them anymore, they prove me otherwise :P How cheesy of me, but they are truly so supportive and they're a huge anchor for me, even attitude-wise :) It truly is unconditional love :D Blood is always thicker than water :) Well except in certain cases :P

3. Have more maturity & patience (I hope! :P). But I guess some close ones would agree with me on this, not saying that I'm super mature in the way I act & talk (I'm completely opposite, if anything!), but more in the sense that I can rationalize and have debates in my head to give someone the benefit of doubt. I have had so many confrontations this year, it's not even funny. Some are mild ones, some are serious ones, I've even had serious confrontations with someone else's parent. Yes it was that serious! Haha but that really groomed me in an alarming way :)

Okay wait I'll continue this post later :P Gotta go get ready for New Year's Eve dinner at Auntie Cynthia's! Hello 3491284792384pounds! Lol :D

Anyways,

HELLO YEAR TWENTY TEN!
I proudly embrace you :)

o43. Do You Rememberrrrr, Do You Rememberrrr.

You know why I hate you guys? Because you make me feel so guilty when I don't update! Yesterday my reader count was like.. 60 readers at only 1pm! That makes me go all "Aww.." inside! Haha pfft you guys! :P
That's why this post is here! Because I love you guys so much! :P


DAY 3
Went for a pleasant long walk all the way to Maling Road. The sun was shining, I wasn't sweating, Ash wasn't pooping.. It was fun! :) Haha. Another thing I love about Melbourne is how strangers greet you on the streets. I love it! Sometimes you can even stop completely and start an actual conversation with hot guys. Heh heh :P

Breakfast @ Maling Road.

Expensive place. Breakfast alone was about.. slightly more than AUD100, which is RM300+.

Everyone's breakfast :)

Eggs Benedict with salmon, bacon and rockets.

This is heaven, my friends :D

Turkish bread with mushrooms, tomatoes and rockets.

My hot chocolate with marshmallows :)

After breakfast, we walked around that area. It was lovely, packed with school girls in adorable uniforms, lolly shops and antique stores.

Found these in one of the lolly shops! I started laughing when I saw them. Hilarious.

Note: If you don't get the joke, see how the chocolate bar is labelled BOCHOX, as opposed to BOTOX.

And girth control instead of Birth Control! ;)

Big big strawberries :)

Love the streets.

Mom & Dad.

Notice the trees, how lovely!

See how ahead Dad is in front?

Shows how long we take to snap a picture lol :P No worries, cos I love this picture. :D

Stopped at Aunty Cheryl's house on the walk back home.

Her garden has been on TV, and has won several landscaping competitions! :)

Love the set up.

Complete with grill, summer fan, shade, or heater (the black thing on top) when it's winter.

I love this area! She calls it her summer bed. :D

So very cool.

Haha so excited, I know :P

Was fascinated by this house! Covered with.. moss/weeds/creepers/etc.

Random shot while walking lol.

Went grocery shopping at Coles after that! :)

NiWen at the vege/fruits section :P

Let me show you something we don't have in Malaysia...

Ugh how sick is that btw? I shuddered at the sight of it haha :\

Haven't tried, but I am going to one day! :P

Shopped for so much groceries, it came up to almost.. AUD300, which is nearly RM1000! HAHAH :S :S

Came home and we all helped to prepare dinner! Mom's infamous chicken pie and aunt's salmon salad! :D

This is me helping :D

This is NiWen pretending to be helping :P

How beautiful is the kitchen?! I fell in love with it :)

 Salmon salad. :)

 

Mom's chicken pie with like 4984719023kg of spinach!

So veggie-y. But awesomeeee :D

That is Day2 for you, folks! ;)
Oh btw, these relatives of mine are currently in Penang yay! :)
Have been out with them, eating my butt off! Like literally every hour of the day D:
Going for prayer @ KDU with CampusRevoTeam, then tennis and swimming with my cousin tmrw :)

Gosh, I just remembered that I still have Christmas to blog about! So to make it easier for me to decide, I'll open a poll for you guys to choose what you want to read about :) And yes I'm smart enough to not put another option : both, because that just defits my purpose of asking you guys :P
If you have any other comments, leave a loveletter at the bottom of this post! I love comments :D

poll by twiigs.com

o42. THERE YOU GOOOO :D

You hate me, I get it :P
Met up with one of my psychos (Monica Shenton :P) some time last week, and she was all.. "Kai.. your blog is pathetic. I scrolled down reading the Day 1 post and I'm like.. that has got to be the shortest Day 1 post ever!" I burst out half laughing & half apologising! :P

So here I am to make it up to you with a longer & more elaborate post! :))
DAY 2

Since I was researching about tourist spots on Melbourne before going over, one place I really wanted to visit was the art market. So my cousin Pei insisted on bringing us there on the very first day! Woke up at 5am Malaysian time, and considering the fact that I only arrived in Melbourne at 1am the previous night, you could be damn sure I was dead tired. GG :\

How quaint and lovely.

 

HAHA this picture makes me smile everytime because he's just too precious! :)

Our breakfast.
Fruit salad, turkish bread with avocado & skinny latte.

Went for yumcha (that's what they call dimsum) for brunch after that. I know, we already had breakfast earlier on. We are such pigs :P
Went over to Westfield for some shopping!
I could drone on and on about how I love the stores there! :)

Supre, JayJays, Dotti, Cotton On.

I especially love how high-spirited and lively everyone is! And how everyone greets you when you enter a shop. "Hey how's it going!", "Hey lovely, if you need any help, I'll be back there eh?" etc.
They make me so happy! Haha! & of course, I love their accents ;)

Westfield!
My favourite-st mall in Melbourne :)

Went back home and while NiWen & Pei watched CenterStage (love that movie btw!), Mom Aunt & I took Ash (the dog) for a walk 'round the neighbourhood :D

Haha stupid picture.
I was getting Ash to stay still! :P

*My uncle likes commenting how the dog walks me, not the other way round :P*
I'll have you know I am now an excellent dog walker, with all the training I had in Melb! :P HAHAHA.

My aunt & I.
She's the most loving and generous aunt ever! Awesomeee :)

This is their house. It is truly gorgeous!

I stayed here for two weeks :)

*I'll have a video of a tour of the house posted up soon!

HAHA @ the picture :P

NiWen.
The little one :)

Superman.
Notice how NiWen is being a party pooper >:(

Pei & I :D
Loveeee her to bits&pieces :))


Dinner that night was amaaaazing. Italian :)
The following are pictures of food which I do not remember the names of, so yeah just scan through them.
