Christmas Tree Decoration Dinner

Since I had a two hours nap this afternoon, I am barely sleepy at 1am, and I have a day off tommorow! So I can just sleeeeep in as much as I want.. Yeppie, since I have to work everyday it has been ages since I last slept in :(

Last Saturday, Thidarat, who is my ex-boss, invited our family to their place for their christmas tree decoration dinner, which they hold every year as a family tradition because they themselves are too lazy to decorate the tree! And since we have never spent a proper christmas, we have decided to see what its like!

Had Tapas platter as starter.

The 'Before' Xmas tree.

We have to use this to perform our magic.

 Its our first time to decorate a xmas tree and we were all excited!

 The theme was red and gold :)

 Very serious, no joke man.

Tadaa, our almost done xmas tree :)

We were all rewarded with Thidarat's amazing home cooking.

 Thidarat's daughter.

 She wants me to play piano for her.

 The piano is over 100 years old! I really liked that chair.

And the little chamber is cosy and nice.

After dinner, we get to choose a special ornament each and hang onto the tree.

The final step of the tree deco, place the star on top of the tree!

And then, it's time to turn on the lights and wait for xmas!!!

It was a great occasion as we get to taste Thidarat's cooking and get involved with some pre-xmas preparation. And her kids are cute! Make me wana marry angmoh, lol. Hopefully will have more chance to actually celebrate xmas, instead of celebrating it like Valentines in most of the asian countries.

Ciao.

✿ Canberra Floriade 2010 ✿

Finally, the long anticipated recess week has arrived! To celebrate our first day of the recess week, our family went to Canberra to visit Floriade, which is the annual tulips exhibition!! It has been my wish to visit there since I came to aussie and after 4 years finally I get to realised my dream!

We initially booked a 8 seater Kia and who knows it turns out to be a 12 seater van. The back seat was bumpy as if we are riding a horse. Luckily there are only 7 of us to manage to squeeze to the front.

It was a 3 hour drive to Canberra from Wollongong. We have nothing better to do so we just camwhored, tried to remember some old TVB theme songs, and just being noisy in the van.

 Us in the car van.

Camwhore during toilet breaks as well :D

Stopped by at this look out point which I don't remember the name. I think it started with W.

Finally arrived at Floriade!

I like purple tulips.

Yellow is classic.

Babes of the day!

I think I looked at him more than the flowers *blush*

I forced them to make this pose, so cute. Haha!

We are meant for each other. lol. even we stayed together, we still talk endlessly, creating noise pollution in the van.

<3 white tulips too!!

Credits to Miss photographer that took sucha nice pic even after an accident (being banged by an old lady with her little car).

It is nice to visit such a lovely place, but it is precious to be able to visit it with your loved ones.

Serenity.

That's me trying to imitate a pose that I did when I were young (at lake garden).

They even have colourful umbrellas hanging in the air!

My dream house has to have a lot of flowers, and me and my husband would spend a lovely sunday gardening *dreaming*.

Jump shot is a must!

Visited the parliament house.

Went to KOKOBLACK after dinner to enjoy my favourite chocolate!

The hot chocolate and baby iced chocolate. Seriously thats the best hot choc I have ever tried. Must try if you have the chance!

It was a wonderful day trip! Had so much fun and the colourful flowers made my mood bright!

Spring is coming soon : D

A little bit of love everywhere

This post basically sum up my weekly life.

The little bits and pieces of me everywhere!

Pictures talk better than words :)

And there are shitloads of me.

Weekends before test: Die die also want to go shopping the second time with S my love.

We have gotta continue buying things that we didnt buy the last trip.

Boost love!

I am a poor autistic child drinking boost and eating banana bread.

Even the rain never stop us from shopping.Bought shoes that day! super happy!!

And say yes to glassless nerd specs : D

Spent some time enjoying other people's cooking. Went over to A's house for dins.

What a talented man making dumplings : P

Thumbs up to a-Liang :)

Seriously no joke OK. See how neat and tidy they are. Even me couldn't do it.

Ready to nom nom! Yay!

Oh this is just a random pic I saw in the toilet. Seriously who piss beside a toilet bowl?

Another cooking day at A's. Yummy yummy! Taiwanese tomato scramble eggs, our love!

Was walking to the bus stop and singing happily. Then he thought I was too noisy so he decided to stuff a banana to shut me up. Who knows? Jo could sing with a banana too! *high five*

(that's a mint, not a tongue pierce)

And there was this Friday that I sulked in the library because I have gotta study for midsession after work!

But I like my hair : D

But we watched Step Up 3D in unimovies! cheaper :) We are a bunch of cheapskate students.

Saturday morning: Overslept and went to Raya's celebration at botanical gardens with swollen eyes.

Ah I am not hunching! just that my cardigan appears to hang there unreasonably. LOL

 food is behind us!

Different kind of malaysian food I misssssssss! greedily scooped a lot *evil laughs*

Yo we have a selamat hari raya banana cakey.

Dessert and kuih muih table... Hmm I am hungry now.

Introducing satay to him.

Greedy fatty us trying all the desserts after eating a big plate of food.

Jiwan & Shazza :)

Oh this scene is so Malaysianish.

People I adore.

Yes we are the celebs, see everybody is trying to take snap shot of us!

Spot me.

Went to uni after that.

To watch youtube.

LOL.

Started studying after that.

And decided that life is too boring in the library after 2 hours.

So I took a stroll around the peaceful uni on a Saturday :)

Running and skipping happily at the duck pond.

Writing on the sands.

Chasing the duckies.

It has been ages since I felt carefree and young again. It has been ages since I last wrap my arms around nature. And I am glad our uni is green, not some greyish colourless concrete jungle.

Paparazzi snapshot of the girls from the outside of the library.

Look at how Mr Engineer enjoys his lemon poppyseed muffin. He makes the muffin seems like it tasted really great.

converse loves.

And then on a Sunday Morning:

Heading to the library again.

Me and my longtime no use agnes b bag.

On the bus :)

Twitted this pic.. Follow us!

Ending this post with another picture of me,

eating banana again.

cheers.

That's how I spend my week.
