Autumn Again

Last year i went around chasing photographs of autumn leaves.

This year i forgot until autumn was in my face!

Not bad even with the lack of sunlight!

At the last minute i started asking friends to head to the mountains with me!! A little late =(

But not too late!!! =)

Mmmm Pie in the Sky!!! Love the Dandenong Ranges

One day i'll have a garden and i'll plant trees that will turn red in autumn?

Google images of this shed were wayyyyy better than my picture!

Love this picture though yellow normally doesnt catch my eye.

From head to toe, including my bag, everything i wore was bought in Australia =)

Rock Climbing

Is there a cure for my adrenalin addiction??

LF posted a picture of her wind surfing on Facebook. Known this girl for years, friend of a friend but never really hung out except for a few gym sessions together. Or bumping into each other at the gym. 

On the windsurfing picture, we started chatting and realised the both of us love these sort of stuff!!! 

Few nights ago, i received a random message from her asking me to go!!! 

Immediately i said yes! Didnt ask how much, didnt matter where,

I'm there!

OMG so happy to have found another crazy girl like me in Melbourne =) Love love! 

Sydney 2011 November

Every time i head to Sydney i'd be sure to take pictures with/of the Sydney Habour Bridge!

My favourite spot in Sydney!

Just one of my best friends and I. An afternoon catching up. 

Was in the city for a reason

A wedding

My Ausmat/ Year 12 / Senior High School friend was getting married! These days invites go through Facebook. When u accept the Facebook invitation, the card will follow! More efficient. Lovely handmade invitation card

Four of us from the same class. The bride's dress is tailor made, very fine detail. Bridesmaids wore pink. 

She did her wedding completely Western style: church reception in the morning, followed by refreshment in the church, mingle, the happy couple had a photoshoot by the beach and then dinner in town. She wore the same dress the whole day, which is very very non-Malaysian-Chinese! Hahah

The other people my table were all very nice and friendly. I would have like to keep in touch with one of the girls, but oops i forgot to look her up on FB. Its been 6months! Whoops!

Having migrated to Australia, i missed all the other 2011 weddings i was invited to. Boy, was there a big handful! 

Just last night i found out that an ex-colleague, my age, is already 6 months pregnant! She also got married in November. I started counting... and concluded it was a honeymoon baby!! Hahah. Scary, i don't want a kid so soon. I want a few honeymoons first!

The day after the wedding i put on another dress and went for Spring Races

My 9year old cousin vomitted yesterday, my aunt had to clean it up. I'm so not ready for that yet!

Still young and loving my selfish life!

Door Trainer

First time buying a home exercise equipment and it has pictures of a man on the box!! :P

DIY - this girl was surprised to find five bars n screws in the box...

It looks nothing like the box. I look nothing like the man on the box

Read the instructions and managed!

I'm da MAN!! I fixed it!!!:D

Wait a minute...

One screw left... This can't be good... 

Oh that's the screw driver/nut bolter tool, it's meant to be left in the box

I knew that, I used it!! The last pic is just for entertainment :) 

Here's the workout i do. 

Step 1: Hang with both knees bent. This is what my teacher calls Lady Legs

Step 2: Bring knees to chin

Step 3: Straighten legs. Lift the bum a little bit more

Step 4: Smile at the camera, that's the straddle! 

For more of a workout, from the straddle go back to lady legs and without touching the floor, go into a straddle again! Killer! I only manage to do that a couple of times. Works the arms, core and the legs. 

What i dont understand is... i can do all that shit but i still have a tummy! =( The other girl at class has a totally flat tummy and abs but she cant do the straddle. Beats the hell out of me!

Twenty Six

Come to think of it, the last time i bothered planning a birthday celebration was when i was twenty one!!!

Five years later

My smart friends surprised me with a lighted candle on the dessert i ordered! =) 

So sweet of them! Was truly surprised =P 

I do not have a close knit group of friends who know each other inside out. I do not have a bunch of girlfriends to meet like the girls of Sex and the City. Out of the six of us that night, each person didn't know more than one person other than me! So glad they were a good sport to show up for me =) 

Just Peking Duck dinner, followed by Koko Black dessert where this photo was taken and then some alcoholic drinks at a restaurant. I was thrilled that everyone got along soooo well! At one point they were all talking about the tv series How I Met Your Mother, a series i do not watch. I just spaced out and watch them talk and even though i dont have a clue to the conversation, i was happy just watching my dearest friends get along!

7hours of hanging out, pretty impressive!

More like perfect =) 

Also on the eve my birthday I had Korean BBQ dinner =) =)
