Soon to bid farewell to Tania. She's leaving Melbourne on Tuesday, going back to Singapore.. Feeling sad that one of my two good friends in Melbourne is leaving, and soon will be Janice's turn.. sigh.. that's life....

Anyway spent the whole day helping Tania pack her stuff and clean up her place. You wont believe how dusty her place was.. layers of dust on the window still and on those hard-to-reach places... guessed she only vacuum those places that are accessible to her.. haha.. but anyway, quite satisfying to clean up such a dusty place..

Last Wed (23rd April), I attended Tania's graduation ceremony and took some pictures:





The ceremony was abit boring, so I dozed off... but I am looking forward to mine next year, where my family will be here too! :)

hmmm.. time to blog again...

Today is a pleasant Sunday, with a good weather and even a mini carnival on Glenferrie Road, known as the Glenferrie Festival. Took a short walk to have a look at what's going on for the festival. Though it wasn't a big event, but seems like all the locals enjoyed these type of carnivals. As I walked, I saw this cute mascot for Yarra Trams (and you know I just can't resist dogs), so I got someone to help us take a photo:



Anyway, now I am back home (der right, if not how can I be writing this blog.. haha).. This morning went for mass and then gym. Did a 5km run and some cycling.. burnt 500 kcal. haha, allows me to eat more for the day.. ;p

Alright, just an update of the steamboat session we had last friday at Tania's house. Tania's mom is really good at preparing food, and though its obvious that she was very exhausted from the preparation for the steamboat, but she still try to force a smile whenever she talks to us. She is really a nice person and a good mother to Tania and her brothers.. Anyway, we had a sumptous steamboat dinner, we had beef, prawns, hot dogs (or what known as bak-tiao by janice and paul.. keke), fish, sotong balls, fish balls, crab meat stick, sotong, veggies, fish tofu, homemade super spicy balachan (chilli).. some tang hoon and rice cakes. We all had a great time eating, chatting and joking...





The funniest joke of the day was when Janice asked this "qian bian wen da ti": What did Miss Zero (0) tell Miss Eight (8)? I shan't tell the answer here so next time I can share with others.. but the answer is really hilarious.. so funny that I rolled on the floor while trying to swallow the food left in my mouth.. luckily I didn't choke myself.. hahaha

Saturday was a lazy day... we slept till about 12pm, then went to shop for car audio system to replace the stolen one. After that went to Chadstone, with the motive of buying nic a jacket. But in the end I bought myself two pairs of flats (very cheap at $20 for 2 pairs) instead.. And nic was unhappy cos I bought myself something instead when our purpose to shop was to buy him a jacket, so we ended up not buying any jacket. sigh.... Anyway, after Chadstone, we came home and watched tv all the way till night....

Daylight savings officially ended this morning at 2am.. so now Melbourne is only 2 hours faster than Singapore.

Alrighty, that's all for today.. getting ready to go out for the free pub poker... hopefully i can last longer today.. keke...
