well it has been a long long time since i wrote something here. i'm currently still looking for a job. and it's getting bit stress out, cause i haven't been getting much response from the jobs that i've applied for. i really wish that i am able to look for a job that i am after. and at this point, i really hope to get some income. hehe!

 

in fact i had some bad times along the way, lost my sense of confidence and so on. but thankfully there's always some positive advise to keep me going. i used to think that i wanna find a job that earns me high salary and i would be able to go for secondment overseas to broaden my experiences and skills. i so look forward to that life. but u know what? when i come to think about it lately, i was so terrified to realise that i actually have the sense of insecurity to leave home. it made me felt so bad and it was kinda a big thing to me. it took me a while and i'm glad that i'm over with it now and wishing that i would have the chance to actually leave home and try the taste of outside world. because i know that, after that i'll be a stronger person, i sincerely wish for that... mel u can do it!!! gambateh!

 

hmm..been spending quite alot of time at home lately since i'm jobless.. and i'm officially the maid of the house.. haha! oh wells some ppl say that it's enjoyment for staying at home doing nothing but for me, it's not that fun. come to think of it, i've been really busy before. like having three jobs at a time, working with uni stuff and being the treasurer thing, social and so on, it was hardly that i spent time so slow and easy like now. yet still i'm learning to enjoy it. while i look for a job online all day, i also try to do some self-learning stuff. not so easy to take up the habits, but i'm trying to.. haha! wondering what kinds of self learning stuff? well like reading the newspaper, learning some finance issues on financial review, self thinking.. haha! good luck to me! will try my best..

 

talking about self thinking stuff.. well i've been thinking alot about frens around me. i have frens that i treasure of, there's also frens that i wish to treasure but they dun wan to.. i dunno why but i wish that they'll know it and things will be alright.. hehe! alot of wishes i think. :D oh yea it's getting spring in melb now, but these two days have been cold!!! hahaha.. i wish for better weather here.. :P one thing to share here, last saturday i went to mt dandenong.. and i actually went for hiking for the 1000 steps thingy.. it was really cool! because it sounds easy but it was damn hard and exhausting.. hahaha! not to mention that i was the last one to reach the top within like 15 ppl group.. hahahahaha!! paiseh paiseh! but it was a good exercise experience. :P and and we also tried miss marples. it's a really small, cosy cafe and they serve very yummy scones and the huge sundae.. haha! one must try.. hehe!

 

the next big thing in my life - my graduation ceremony. it's on the 30th of september!!awaiting for the big day! hahahaha! shall tell u more about it next time. well i shall stop here for this time. missing everyone out there!!!!

after my good news of being a graduate, i'm so lucky that my parents gave me a special gift that is a ticket to perth! hahaha..alot of ppl must be thinking why is it perth? hahaha..well just that i have frens there, so might as well go and have a visit. my tour guide for perth trip was my fren i knew from youth exchange program. and to be honest, there's alot to explore in perth.. was quite surprised to know that.

 

well i arrived in perth on 24th of july, my first thought when i arrived there, hmm..it feels like going back to malaysia. hahaha! the houses and everything. well after a quick lunch with my frens in an indonesian shop, got back to her place and settle down my stuff. the flight was pretty long, well it's more than going to brisbane, so it was a bit tiring. at night a few of us we went to little ceasars, mundaring which have the best pizza. we tried a few varieties, and it was really yummy! and on more funny and surprising thing is that i met chrystella and dino there! OMG. actually met up with melb ppl in perth, such coincidence. and even amazing is that i got to meet jia yan's bf too. after dinner i went out for drinks with another senior from high school at the oriel cafe. and again such coincidentally i saw chrystella and dino there again!

 

on the next day, yilin organised a road trip with a few other frens to pinnacles. it is a desert area in western australia, it's up north if i'm not mistaken.. haha! we woke up really early that day to prepare some sandwiches for the trip. then off we left to our destination. after 4 hours plus of car drive, we arrived at the pinnacles national park. it was awesome!!! we took heaps of photos there and did alot of fun and stupid stuff there. oh yea along the way there, we went past the emu down winds farm. it's the place where they have huge wind mill kinda thing to generate electricity through wind. really nice view there. after that we went to lancelin, a small town, to try out sandboarding!! it was so damn fun! hahahaha!! i tried snowboarding before too, my pick would be sandboarding! hahahaha.. after that we had a long drive back to perth city. after that we had dinner, it was chilli mussels!! wow, it was the first time for me to see such huge amount of mussels and it was yummy! hahaha.. but seriously after a long day and sandboarding somemore, my whole body was aching..ouchh... hahaha..

 

on saturday, we got to sleep in a bit. luckily..hahaha! then yilin and me headed to fremantle. i love this place alot!! a must go in perth.. hahaha!! firstly we went to fulfil out hungry tummies first. we tried the famous fish and chip shop, hmm..dun remember wat was the name of the shop. anyway that shop was full with ppl there and we tried out the fish and chips and also the scallops. i tell u, it was so so so delicious. the fish was so fresh and the scallop melted in ur mouth. so good! after that we went to explore a bit in the fremantle shipwreck musuem. it was really cool seeing the bits and pieces that they found in the sea. amazing! then we went to the fremantle market to buy some groceries and look around. also tried the kinda famous crepe shop. yummy! i tried the banana chocolate mousse crepe. mel just can't say no to sweets. hahahaha! then after that we back home and rest a bit. watched movie and stuff. then yilin cooked dinner for the night. she's a good cook! later a few of us went to metro city. haha! crazy night i should say. :P

 at night i had dinner with yilin, george and tze ning. gosh!! we all met up together after 6 years in perth! it was awesome! we went to northbridge to have vietnamese food. then we chit chat all the way. haha! that was really cool. we went to have drinks in a cafe after that. nice dessert there. after that, we still got some more programme! hahaha.. we went to burswood, which is their casino in perth! hahaha!! yea i tried out my luck for the first time in casino! :P i won a bit..hahahahah!

on tuesday, yilin and george brought me to another road trip. haha! this time was to busselton. there's a famous historical busselton 2 kilometre jetty. it was really cool place, but it was raining and the wind was crazy. hahaha! we walked out only half way of the jetty. too cold! haha! after that we went around the area and ended up at the happa winery. nice wine there! then after that we searched for food. wanted to go this cafe but it was closed, so sad. but we ended up at bunker's bay resort. surprisingly we had good food there too!!! it was awesome and the scenery there was beautiful. good place to have a relaxing vacation. then after that we headed off to the canal rocks. when we reached there, we were like OMG! looking at the view there, i was like speechless. there's a bridge for us to walk through into the rocks and closer to the sea. the waves was crazy but yet the view was amazing. really never seen anything such awesome before. it's just so hard to describe in words. just too good! will show u photos.. after that we drove a long way back to perth city. it was raining heavily.. it took us 4 hours to get back, long drive. then we had dinner at sarathai. some hot food to warm our stomach. hehehe! it was quite cold that night. we were crazy enough to go sing karaoke after dinner. hahaa! also met up with ching yee and yi wen and wing. haven't seen yi wen since graduated from high school. hehe. it was so nice to see them and we talked alot there. after a long day, i was all dead, lost my voice a bit. haha!
