gold coast trip with fwens~

yesterday, me, sarah, cindy, eldwin, sky n a bunch of singaporeans went to the GOLD COAST!!


this is our ride!!!



and tat's cindy driving~~~~



me & sarah~~




sky, sarah n me~~



we went to harbour town 1st, to have our brunch. it's my second time coming here, 1st time was with him. :P and guess wat? my friends and i chose to eat at Noodle's now, which i ate with my bf when we were in harbour town too~! hehe remember their menu? they have nasi goreng melayu, but with pork inside. +_+'' that day i have cravings for western food, so i tried their fish n chips. and .. the fish is so damn small lor! so pathetic. but very generous with the fries. but not really a fan of *fat* chips, prefer thin ones, like mc donald's.


noodle's now~




my pathetic fish n chips!!




with cindy~~




in harbour town, i didn't really expect much shopping there because, remember? i didn't buy anything except for a big tee for my mummy last year. after walking around for a few hours or so, i finally bought a pair of shorts from jayjays, cost aud10 oni.=-='' i actually saw a pair of sport shoes in nike, and they have this sale, buy 1 get the 2nd one for 50% off. however, cindy and sarah wanna buy shoes as well. so i backed out. anywayz, it's unnecessary to get a pair of sport shoes now since my pair at home is still use-able.


after walking out empty handed from the nike shop, i was quite upset. in the midst of complaining about how unlucky i was that day, i realized that i was not holding any plastic bag.... ARGH MY JAYJAYS SHORTS!! so quickly i stormed back to the nike shop and thank god, it's still there. -0- hm. i think if this happen in msia, i'll surely lost my stuffs for sure. heh.


in the fitting room~




sky, eldwn,cindy, sarah n jaecy




without sky~




tired n bored, we finally decided to go to the beach instead. n wow it was awesome!!! :) i miss it here. 3 times here already~ n still loving it!!! :) this time however, he's not with me. seeing eldwin n cindy so loving, made my heart sank. sob sob! but they two so cute la

muahahah bury bury!



R.I.P!!




and before we left the beach, i did some scribble on the beach~ :)




fast forward!!!


had dinner in sunnybank. haven't been there before. and that area was so chinese. =-= full of asians. everyone was speaking in canto or mandarin. it feels like i'm in msia again. in those hawker stalls. i forgot what was the restaurant called, but the food was delish. :) not bad la. it's been a while since i last had proper chinese food lo. :) miss it dearly.

AND OUR FOOD!!!










ahhaha i only remember the last dish was called the honey prawn :P

am i lil sicky today!! haih.. :) but am good. will be working today again. haih.

i miss yuri~

i miss yuri a lot lor. calvin have not shown me any yuri pics or videos for a few weeks already and i got suspicious. i thought yuri might have died. =-= hahhaa because with his hectic schedule, he won't have the time to play with yuri wan, hence i think she died of boredom. won't die from hunger though. every time i tell him not to abandon yuri, calv will say, where got? i got give her orange, i got give her apple n etc. the only entertainment for yuri is the different variety of fruits for her meal. as a result, she got fatter. :) i really wanna see her pics~ i wanna c if she obese or not! hahaha =-= ask him to buy the wheel he dun wan.. =-=

anyhow, this is a pic i took a few days before i flew to brissie. :) she's eating catfood~ :) cute heh?

today i'm working again. hopefully that guy dun work today. :(

blood boil..

today morning, everything was going great ~ interviewed with our key informant for the assignment and did some interesting activity. she asked us to get an item from a bag, and associate the item with breastfeeding. for example, a baby doll holding a bottle. it shows that people are more exposed to bottle feeding than breastfeeding. if we were to ask the primary school children to draw baby drinking milk, they will be more likely to draw a baby drinking milk from a bottle than from a mother's breast.


she also told us some interesting facts too, such as a ten days old baby's stomach is the size of a golf ball. haha. at first, i tot the golf ball resembles the size of breasts, as the size of a woman's breast does not determine the amount of milk. so haha. i kinda burst up laughing la.. well, not really la.. just giggled.


SO ANYWAYZ, after the interview, sarah followed me to mc d, and we were like talking random stuffs bout everything and also bout me working in mc d. saying how happy i am, etc etc.


when sarah left, things started going haywire. the back area was in chaos. thursday( today) seemed like the weekends. there were lack of staffs and so i need to do everything fast fast fast. pronto. i did a good job making the burgers as quickly as i can. but when one of the staffs left, everything went havoc again. there were too many customers, too many things to be done, other than making the burgers. i am still a noob when it comes to doing other things like the grill and cooking the meat. usually other guys will do tat. they will always ask me to concentrate in making the burgers only.


but since it was a busy day, things are a lil complicated and i was asked to do other stuffs that was not taught before. but i tried. i really tried my best. but it wasn't enough. my colleagues weren't pleased. to make things worse, i was accused for doing something that i didn't do. and it really made my blood boil. seriously. when i finished work, i tried to cool down, and tot of discussing with my manager bout giving me more extra hours to work. from the way she replied, i think i am less likely to get any more working hours. wth? i am only working 6 hours this week. * yes, i did say i'm busy, but i need money to pay off my rent each week as well, and 6 hours a week is definitely not enough* maybe i should find another job!!! ARGH!!!! :(


with all the frustrations today, i tried to make myself sane by indulging a chocolate cheese cake from mc cafe. it was suppose to make me feel better. but it didn't seem to do its trick. hours later, i slowly settled down ................. BUT a conversation with my course mate just made me devastated again. it wasn't his intention to do so. he's just being his blur self. he told me that he got perfect results for the quizzes and thought i got perfect too. n no, i didn't. i actually didn't think my results were that bad until he said," i'm sorry to hear that. next time don't do that again, okay?" i was dumbfounded. i was.. haih... i am a kiasu person la, k? i just dun like to lose, dun like to get bad results, i like to compare with ppl's results, n etc. I AM NOT A SINGAPOREAN SUMMORE!!! i know it's bad !! VERY BAD!.. :( i need to change.
i'm very confused now.. ........................................................

short hiatus agaiN~

know that i've not been updating my blog for sometime now.

due to many unforeseen circumstances.

like re-doing my assignment cos my group was *lucky* enough to get such *nice* topic.

bout making a program to raise awareness about benefits of breastfeeding.. and the target audience is THE PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS!!


wth?


seriously, like wth?


my group really had a bad start with the assignment because we were clueless with the topic and the tutor is no help at all. she told us A a few days ago, and today when i asked her in more detail bout it, she told us B instead. =-='' so kns, can?


that aside,


easter is looming just around the corner, this thursday in fact!!! am really looking forward for it because easter means HOLIDAYS!!!10 days of HOLIDAYS!!!



BUTTTTT


*sobs*


i have so many assignments to do!!!!!!!!!! & many studies to catch up on~!! phew. wat a heavy workload. :( sobz~ there goes my easter holidays~~



speaking of which, i bought myself a huge chocolate egg from darrell lea to celebrate easter~ :) haha..



bliss~!!hand rolled summore!!! :P


but it's empty inside!! :( but the shell alone is damn filling~ already finish it within 3 days. dun ask. i confess. i gain 3-4kilo already!! :( but the chocolate egg was nice!! :D :D



hollow inside~~





sorta reminded me of yuri's coconut ~~ :P
miss yuri so much!!!
calv say she fat already wor!! :P hehe.. so cute~

1st krispy kreme in brissie!

it was very crowded in the city and it did not surprised me a lil bit. it was announced that the very 1st krispy kreme outlet will be opening early april, and today, they had this small charity event for the leukemia foundation, breast cancer awareness, n etc. but i was not there for all of the above, i just want the free donuts.!! yeap!! free original glazed donuts! sweet!* i bet everyone was there for that purpose too!!




everything also krispy kreme!!




made of sand~~ :) but i still think he should have mold the donut a lil bigger~



i was waiting with anticipation to have my hands on Krispy Kreme again. was there for at least 35 minutes before they start distributing them. for KK i can, for JCo donuts, i cannot. :D




i actually grabbed 2 of the donuts!! hahaa.. gluttony!! *beams*.... ... ... ...... *unbeams* -______-



the donuts was awesome! it was fresh from the oven, so the texture was fluffy n it was still hot! the taste was purrrfect!!

CHOMP!


the last time i had em was a few months back when alvin brought 3 dozen of assorted kk donuts from melbourne, during his visit to brissie. GAH!! 3 dozens, know?? and i think i had 1 dozen of em. prolly more. +_+ so yea, basically i've tried each and every flavour of kk donuts! n my fave is the chocolate ice custard filled donut! :)



KK is so popular in their neighbour states, VIC and NSW and now Queensland!! :) actually, i have this dream to open a kk franchise in malaysia but it's not feasible to do so. too expensive. about USD 1million wokie?! FREAKING EX! and now that we have jco donuts, big apple donuts, yee's bakery donuts in msia already, i bet ppl are sick of donuts already. am i right? unless i can invent a donut that can assist in weight loss, burn calories n /or reduce acne. wahaha!! i'll be a billionaire!! okok. dream on...* slaps self*



while waiting for the free donuts, i went to sportsgirl, and bought a pair of pink stripes home slippers! :)



cutsie~



winter is coming and the house floor is gonna be cold. better get prepared :) .luv it~ very cute~. saw a sweater there too... but too expensive for my liking. aud 59 leh. worth it ah? still contemplating. need to work more hours next week!!



speaking bout my job, was so furious with maccas when i realized i was taxed 96 dollars from my pay. freaking 96 dollars kay? =-='' it was due to some miscommunication with my previous manager and i didn't provide her my TFN. good news is that during june/july, i'll be able to retrieve it back, but i'm still unsure of the procedure. soo hui, we go get our tax money back together wokie?



also, i just checked my bank and i realized i actually got paid for working in oporto for 3 hours. guilty guilty* :( oh well, life's good in maccas anywayz. my wage is higher now, and making burgers are as simple as 123. :) coping really well now. thought of doing some volunteer work in the hospital next sem though. dun wan to stuck in maccas doing unrelated things with the course i'm studying. hope i'll be given the opportunity to work in the hospital, helping out a lil. don't really mind about wage because i know that getting a job in the hospital is not an easy task.



wokiez, tat's for now. :) till then~ :)


* oo btw, all the pics above were taken using my k800i hp*
*good heh?*
*beems with delight!*

a lil unwell

was supposed to study for my physio quiz and practical for tomorrow but my head's a lil heavy. kinda unwell today, mainly because i didn't sleep well yesterday, was tossing n turning thinking bout stuffs. it's not really unnecessary stuffs, because it has something to do with my future. my decision will change everything. and i will have till june to give my answer. should i study here for another year? doing placements? and get a pr in aussie? or should i fly back to msia after i graduate and work there permanently?


i really love brissie. will certainly be on top of the world if i can work in aussie. but.. without my bf here, my life will not be whole. n yes, my major frustration is not having my bf here in aussie with me. this is really absurd for those ppl who knows me. ppl who knows me will certainly think i was joking. i tot i can cope in brissie alone too. but i was wrong. everywhere i go, watever i do, watever i see, i think of him.


don't get me wrong, i will definitely finish my degree here, just unsure where should i do/ go next. he's the only missing puzzle in my life. i can't believe that i actually miss him this dearly when we're just apart for merely a month. i tot by keeping myself busy, working like crazy and doing consistent studying can make me think of him less.. n yes, it did help.. a lil. weekends are the most torturing days ever. we used to go market together, sometimes bake, and from time to time, we'll go n discover something new in other suburbs in brissie. so much fun n etc. n now, he's not here anymore, my weekends are pretty dull, watching the tv most of the time and GAH! playing tetris!=-='' * i have friends to go out with, but they have their own commitments and stuffs, so wouldn't want to interfere with their plans and so, i only have me, myself and i to go out & to do stuffs with, which is quite boring. so i rather to be in my small lil cozy room.


fuh~ tat's all for now.. i'm gonna get some rest now.. toodles~

best deal eva~

i have a surprise for my readers and i've no doubt that a number of u will have ur jaw dropped to the floor, gasping in awe. after just working in Oporto for just A DAY, hmm, well not really, cos my shift is just 3 hours. =-='' so yea after 3 hours of working in oporto,... i quit the job. NONO it's not like wat u think. ur mind must be flooding with these thoughts, " omygawd, wat the hell is she thinking? tot she said getting a job in brissie is hard n watsoever? this gurl must be a princess, seems like she only want to do easy job. hmph! abhore such person!"



the thing is, yesterday, my fave Mc D manager, Kristie, called me to work in mc d again!! and i was asked to start work the next day. i was a lil stunned by that call. i was supposed to work in Oporto on that day as well. after contemplating for a short while, i decided to quit oporto and work in mc D instead. wasn't really a tough choice to make as being a mc D staff has many benefits, such as : having 50% discount for all the food items there, including the ones in Mc cafe, having some familiar faces working with n around me, having a nice n understanding manager, having to only walk to mc d in less than 5 minutes, and most importantly, the pay is rewarding. :) which is a PLUS PLUS!



however, i need to make a call to my oporto manager bout me quiting the job. i dread for this moment because i hate to let ppl down. but then again, i've only worked for like 3 hours only.. and i didn;t learn much bout making oporto burgers or frying the chicken n etc. i did more of cleaning , tasks that weren't hard to do at all.



time is crucial as it was already evening and informing her bout this late might freak her out. but i said to myself that if ever she say NO! U CAN"T DO THAT!. i will give in. cos i was at fault.



calling her was like a daunting task to me. after she said hie to me, i kept talking, with the word sorry in between each sentences. i kept apologizing and finally, i asked her
" will that be okay?"


her answer?



"CERTAINLY NOT! "
Well, Jaecy U've made ur choice.. *TOOT* *TOOT* *TOOT*
nola not vulgar words, but she hung up the phone. =-=



knowing she was pissed made me feel guilty even more. *i should be expecting that* but i really need to take a lot of things in consideration as well. maybe i;m just being selfish... well, wat's done is done.



today was my 1st shift working in mc d again, and it was fun! i certainly missed the environment there. was a lil confused with the newly introduced burgers, about 3 of em. some mc delux thingie. =-='' dun think msia have those. the others were alrite. altho i did make a few mistake every now and then. how can i be so DoiNk to put ketchup on fillet burger!! haha i was laughing to myself when i did that. just so weird. if i serve that fillet burger to my calv, surely he'll go " WTF?" . his fave mc d burger is fillet :)



at 3pm, my colleagues' shifts ended and i was left with staffs that i've never met before. both of em were brothers. both have big blue.. but eerie eyes. not friendly and their mouth were sewn shut. they didn't speak to me at all during the entire shift. tried everything to make them to like me, well at least, to talk to me. tried smiling.. A LOT, tried helping them, tried to start a conversation with them, but everything failed. i surrendered.* raising the white flag*. thank gawd the manager let me leave earlier today, at 4pm. or else, it 'll be another 60 minutes of silent treatment. =-= most probably they despise asians. i really really think so. hm..



during my 4 hours of making burgers, i was contemplating which burgers i should order later when my shift ends. knowing the ingredients in the burgers is definitely an advantage.. so that i can make a healthier choice~


Bah! at the end of the day, i bought cheeseburgers, 2 in fact.. and a frappe mocha latte..



Yumz~


( so much for being healthy) *grins* and all for just aud4. i know, si beh cheap rite!!?!? simply adore the staff discounts! *BEAMS!* *DOUBLE BEAMS*



JAECY IS A VERY LUCKY GURL!!!!!!!!
*BEAMS! BEAMS*!

Just wanna know how happy am i?
the huge picture below explains it all!!
*hehe*


* hp socks that i bought for 3 aud, sarah has one too, purple in colour. cute leh?"

jaecywong cooks agaiN~~

finally, i mean finally... i'm cooking again!! i am sick of eating cup mee and pasta almost every day , and wouldn't want myself to be malnourished, which kinda contradict with the course that i'm studying =-=''' my aim is to promote health and not condemn health.am such a health & nutrition & fitness lover! can't wait to work as a nutrionist/ dietician in the near future!! *beams!*


anywayz, back to cooking. actually, i wasn't prepared to cook today. but since there was no tutorial class today( i was informed on that day itself) which actually ends at 6pm, i tot , oh well, i have so much free time, y not buy some ingredients to cook today?


i bought many stuffs from coles for cooking, such as: eggs, garlic, onions, chicken breast, butter sauce to marinade the chicken, n rice.. i think that's about it. yeap. it was heavy to carry it around but i'm strong... when it comes to food.. a lil sacrifice wouldn't hurt.hehe.


i was so hungry that as soon as i reached home, i started cooking the rice, marinade the chicken and slowly stirring the egg and mushroom together, to make a mushroom omelette. :)


the end results!!


The picture can be deceiving..




the butter sauce that i bought~ :D




very satisfied with my meal~ :)it can be better!



i was happy that the rice turned out perfectly, not mushy/sticky. mind u, the house's rice cooker was not functioning. but i did make too much though. wasted! the chicken was okay, but i think i'll add more of the sauce next time, it was a lil lack of taste. the omelette was the best! heh.. i know la.. eggs very easy to cook +_+'' . i'm still learning, alrite?


would like to go for cooking classes when i got the time, maybe after i graduate. think it's important for gurls to learn how to cook. that way, u can cook for ur family, healthy and tasty meals instead of opting for junk foods n take away food. hmm i reckon i'll join the Cooking for 1 and 2 program next sem. :) i want to learn how to cook a decent meal!!!!!!!! oo and not forgetting, baking too!!

tourists for a day~

been busy with many things lately. trying to get 2nd hand books, desperate to swap prac classes, buying groceries n printer stuffs, catching up with friends, planning for melbourne trip with sin ye and classmates, finding a job n etc.


been so busy in fact, that ever since i touched down in brissie, the only places i've been so far are my uni, the city and my house area. and i'm back for like, 2 weeks plus already. adoi!


knowing that i'll be even more busy in the couple of weeks ( assignments, tutorials, presentations, quizzes, and WORK ), i asked sarah to tag along to go around south bank area and china town today. and the outing was superb!


i was elated that sarah accompany me today becos she's just so fun to be with. her smile! gosh!! *meltz*


so 1st stop!!
SOUTH BANK!!



wondering wat flowers are those? those purple ones?those are BUNGA KERTAS. found bountiful in malaysia. :D


there's this guy , who's kind to take pics for us. however, he was smoking so our pics turned out like this!!=-= i call it, the smokey effect! :P



haha photoshop also cannot do kay?



muaa~


sarah woke up late today so she didn't had breakfast, so we went to the south bank central cafe to have a short lunch.



central cafe~


did u know, there are plenty of IBIS in brisbane?



ibis.. annoying to the max.


instead of stray dogs, they have stray ibis!! and possum too!! but didn't c any possum today=-='' very cute creature, but the sounds that they make are creepy. i was terrified once...i know i know.. BY A POSSUM!?!?


speaking of ibis, they are quite cunning, u know. they are not afraid of humans at all. they will linger around ur table, hopeful to get a bite of ur meal. they aren't cute okay, if they r stray cats, like in msia, u might go " awww, so cute.. , nah! * throwing a piece of small chicken" . but ibis, no one really cares. therefore, they need to do some extra work to get food. for example, like today, a woman got up from her seat and left her chips on the table for less than a second, and suddenly the ibis jumped onto the table, and grabbed a few chips. SNAP! just like tat. before the woman can do anything, the ibis left already. =-='' cunning!!



stop looking at us!!


i had fried chicken and chips.. fattening.. yea. wat's new? they were very generous with the fries.=-=




freaking tomato sauce cost 30cents! =-= rm 0.90. GAH!!!





sarah had kebab~~~ :)





her smile!! *faints!!*




after that, we had BOOST !




Magic mango very nice!! :) must try! all flavours also nice la.. :)



OFF to South Bank's flea market...




OH CHURROS! :)
had it once when calvin's family was here. basically it's a deep fried pastry ( like yar char kuai) but it's sweet :P it blends well with the whipped cream. nah. didn't have it today, was too full .


churros~


we didn't buy anything there, the necklaces and earrings were too ex, clothes were not tat pretty, paintings and sculptures that we don't need, n etc. so nope. nothing to buy. wanted to get a temporary tattoo actually. sarah wanted to get a penyu tattoo. so cute la. but we finally decided not to, sien edi. =-=''



heaps of peeps~


oo the man made beach has finally reopened again!! too bad calv couldn't see it. :( next time must really go to the beach n play play~ :)
