belly piercing, here i come!

After much much much and i mean seriously much of consideration. I have decided to get my belly pierced! Woohoo! Special thanks to vicca and vicye who's got great persuasion skill helped my decision making duration shorter. Hohoho.

I was scared.nervous.anxious.excited.anything-u-can-think-of as i was bout doing it. We were suppose to do it the day before but jus when i've cooked up all the courage i could get to finally say yes to doing it the shop was closed. WTF! Actually the shop wasn't but the piercer has decided to end the piercing session for the day. Back in msia even after the metal roller is pulled down they still say 'come come still open still open'. Here? They feel that money stinks. So yeala. Have to wait till the next day. The prices varies like crazy here k! Asked a salon in this mall in the suburb (u know, sunshine) it was like 35AUD but in the city it was 60AUD! Almost double the price! So the next day i got up super inspired to do it. Die Die also wanna do it. So i did it in this place (cz sunshine to far for words) Off Ya Tree on swanston instead cz they are known for doing piercing. It cost me a bigfatbomb of 70AUD! So yealaa. I got it done ppl!! Let's check it out! Muahaha!
















And now that i have got it done. I LOVED it! Should have got it done earlier!



Oh well. I'm 21 and i'm gonna live my life.

It's already like what my third week here already? Getting used to life here, the weather especially! No come to think of it, i can't get used to the bloody wind still. It's the kinda chill that goes down my spine. Hunching a lot lately cz trying to keep warm till now i've got like muscle ache on my shoulder. So that day with vicye's determination me, vicye and her bf(joseph aka seng) went for some traditional massage in this chinese guy's house. It was in the suburb so it was damn cold! Way much colder than in the city where there are tall buildings everywhere to block the wind.


ANYWAYS! The massage was great! But the price is not so as it's so much more expensive than in msia! AUD1 or 1 minute. Good money huh? But this guy was reaaaaaal nice! We asked for 20 mins but he gave 30 mins but charge us AUD20 only! Thanks to jo who knows the masseur and we got special treatment for that! Woohoo!


Melbourne is like a rectangular city. Very organized. Too organized that i'm soon getting bored of it. It's the same everywhere! And there's nothing much to do here except eat sleep drink club shop. Love the shopping part and shaky on the eating cz i dont wanna become a different me when i come back! SO easy to gain weight here i tell u cz nothing much to do except like i said eat drink sleep. Tell me HOW TO NOT GAIN WEIGHT?? But i'm trying real hard to stay away! Still doing okay at it. Muahahaha pray pray pray this lasts...


VICYE! my new camwhore partner. Hoho. Actually havent been taking lotsa pics here cz it's so cold! I'm lazy to take the camera out preferring to have my hands stay warm in the comfort of my pockets. Hoho. Oh and we went for karaoke the other day. Again, so much more expensive here! In msia pay RM12 (student price) but here is AUD40! Then again we went to one of the expensive ones, Chi karaoke lounge cz couldnt get rooms elsewhere so forced to go there. Usually it's bout AUD20-30+. JIAJIA! miss k-ing and duet-ing wit u...



Mae...why don't u put higher like take our scalp only?? Sorry la ve...hohoho

lovebirds..




We were at this suburb called Sunshine which takes like 45 mins by tram from Elizabeth St jus to shop in this mall called High Point. The other day me and vicye decided to be adventurous and take a trip down to some place where we dun even know where it is. And vicye's bro was tricked into going wit us, pity him jus got off the plane at 6 morning and was dragged to nowhere land wit us. Thank god we got the tram driver to announce when we've reached else we wouldn't know when to get off. Finally we were stopped at this very dodgy place known as sunshine and we didnt even know where the mall is to begin with! Asked some passerby and we had to basically run to the mall cz it was raining and the wind was blowing like a mother! Was laughing so hard cz we didnt know exactly where we were running to, was jus told to walk straight on and we'll see it. It was dem sneaky la the location, like some blind spot. All the laughing and running and trying to breathe at the same time was craaaaazzy! Can hardly breathe actually. Hoho. It was the only mall which closes at 9pm but only on a thursday. That explains why we were there plus the things were cheap. But we only managed to reach there at 8.30. So quite sad la reach there everything closing. AND we vowed to go there again, but much much earlier so we can shop. SADLY! Our effort faileddddd. Said to reach there by 1 plus but end up 5 when it closes at 5.30 on normal days. VERY SAD K! Actually thanks to our poor time management laaa. No JIAJIA to make us efficient leaders!! Hohoho.

*no fire

*jus a bit of fire *HOLY SHIT!!
vicye: later when the fire comes out in full very warm wan
me: yameh...(very doubtful)

fire came on...
me: .....(speechless)





YEN!! Spot IT time!! Looks familiar??



I was chased by a paparazi!! Run run run!



Hiding in PekoPeko. Lol. Lunch la!


Vicye's fav line 'yum ryte?'. Yes...very yum vicye.

my very FIRST week in Melbourne

In the plane...
The bloody journey from the entrance to my seat takes like 15 mins when it should take like less than 5 mins? There were so many ppl putting their hand carry luggage into the cabin and some was like taking their own sweet time while i stand there waiting. Can't blame them laa cz some inconsiderate ppl simply put their luggage and makes it so hard to fit everything in. But it was dem sad for me la! With my two bags i was like struggling to not hit the ppl sitting wit my over-sized bag. SO yea...15 mins of taking few steps wait take few steps wait.

Once i reach my seat i dozed off almost immediately. I was so tired! I've to say the video facilities they have is AWESOME! They have like soooooo many movies, pretty new all of them. And they've got like series and a wide range of albums that u can choose from for audio. But i didn't manage to make much use of it as i slept for like 5 HOURS and only watched The Other Boleyn Girl for a bit before touching down at the Melbourne Airport.
Finally in MELBOURNE...!

It was so bloody cold! Actually it's okay without the wind but once the wind comes only...u'll freeze ur butt off! Plus it's like at the suburb where there's not much buildings so it's superbly cold. Then again, it might be cause i felt the huge difference from the crazy hot tropical country Malaysia. Watever la. Conclusion is, it was brain freezing cold.






We were 'collected' by Swee Fun and went back to her crib for shower and beauty sleep. She's sucha sweetie! The next day we had dim sum! Yum..! Apparently the service in chinese restaurants is really bad. The one we went was sort of like the best serviced one (but still not say very good, jus okay la~). Got a bit of a culture shock. The chinese ppl here treat other chinese really bad. Like there was this waitress who made a small mistake of jotting down the wrong table number on the order form and was thrown stuffs and shouted at. It's like wtf? So a piece of advice, NEVER work for chinese employers. They work u to death. Literally.

Day #1





That's our lovely host, Swee Fun! She showed us around and drove us everywhere (petrol price here is real expensive, it's bout Rm4+) so yea, that was real nice of her. After eating me and bro went to explore the city cz Swee had to go run some errand.








This is Melbourne Central! Kinda like the hub of the city, to me that is. The easiest place to get to and meet up cause it's in the middle of the city. Guess i'll be hanging out here like a lot. Hoho.






We were marking our territory..lol

Ooo....comes dinner time! We had korean bbq at Korean House! Yummy...






Phone rings. Vicye on the line..."wanna go for a drink in crowne?". And i replied "okay!".








Day #2

JiaJia, lemme show u the city! Hehe!












Levin if u're reading this, that's Ernst&Young for u! Hehe!








This is also the day i got my Gucci wallet..woohoo! Hehe!






Don't u find it sooo delicioussss?? Yum yum. But designer goods here are not portrayed as something luxurious. It's like the shop can be found randomly on the street and the shop next to it can be some shop selling chaplang stuffs. Not like how it is in Malaysia where all designer brands grouped together on one single floor or anything like that. And EVERYONE carries LV, Gucci, Prada etc like it's RM10. Quite crazy huh?

Then we went to have coffee and some dessert for tea break.











Later at night Swee brought us to this place to take pics...









Day #3






Breakfast at Picnic on Toorak Rd!










Everyone..this lovely place is Melbourne University. Very beautiful huh. I was pretty much in awe when i saw the place. Never knew it's this beautiful. It's old..but the whole place give u such a peaceful feeling thou it's cold like hell.


















Later in the day at some Asian supermarket in QV...

Look what i found!! Jus change the 'a' to 'e' and i have my own brand! Mwahaha. I found so many food which i can find in Msia here! Feel so warm and at home. Hohoho. Dropped by to buy some groceries for dinner. We had steamboat at Swee's! Hehe. Hunted down a few of them even some random brands.

That's all for now! Update u soon!! I'm off to take a shower!

XOXO
