Valentine, Dinner and Home


Look at our tired faces. he-he we slept at about 2 am and woke up very early morning because we don't want to waste our precious day. We met up with Sue Lin at the train station and she drove us to Chadstone Shopping Centre with her new car. I'm impressed with her manual skills because I suck at it. Stop driving manual ever since I got my driving license. ha-ha.

The only picture I had with her. We had our late brunch at the food court. After eating we walk around the mall and I saw S U P R E! I was so super duper happy but when I walk in I felt weird. You know why? Because of the price!! Supre used to be in city but it was closed down! They start to be more commercialized I guess. I came out from the shop empty handed because the price is expensive. No worries I head to jayjays to get more clothing. He bought 3 shirts I think. He actually shopped more than me during the first few days. Then we passed this shop called Rampage, closing down and everything was marked down. I bought a top and 3 thongs because it is so cheap. Nothing much to walk around we decided to bid goodbye to each other and thanks for the ride.

Later evening it was family dinner. They brought us to this korean restaurant operated by husband and wife only. 1 person cook. 1 person service. Really a 1 man show.






The food was really good! Sorry people I forgot the name of the dishes. head back to our apartment and pack up as we are moving to his brother's house to stay. I finished up my final two vodka cruisers bottle. =D

Me posing with his brother's pet name Ginger.

chuck our luggage aside and quickly google search the supre factory outlet. We took 2 hours to travel there and 2 hours to travel back.

I totally forgotten to take picture with the big SUPRE word that day. Aiks but no worries I went back home with bag full of clothes. =D Got back home and had a quick change for our Valentine's day dinner. We were so happy and excited as this is our first overseas Valentine celebration. =D

We took a bus and tram straight to Lygon Street. I saw girls holding flowers. ha-ha. Not feeling jealous thou. See the picture above? Beautiful ladies singing for erm I'm not sure for what but they were good. It was in front of the florist shop. He asked me if I want flowers I say it's okay we are leaving tomorrow and I have nowhere to keep the flowers. *what an understanding girlfriend I am* ha-ha

Weee... the happening Lygon street place.



Chef preparing the pizza.

His friend suggested Papa Gino's! It was full house but we manage to get a table.

Look at the stuffings! So much! Unlike the one I had in Malaysia all give little bit only.

Yummy I'm ready to eat the pizza.

My favorite pasta which is penne.

This minestrone soup taste different.




We couldn't find Max Brenner. Probably we missed it so we head to Koko Black. As usual full house we waited for our turn. Checking out the chocolates and the ice cream shop beside it.

Me and you

A Valentine's kiss from him. he-he

My hot chocolate.

hot chocolate with ice cream.

Our stomach was very full couldn't fit ice cream inside. Later on we decided to head on to our next adventure. We took about half and hour to reach! It was a very very long walk. It was all worth it and indeed a very superb good experience we ever had. Didn't manage to catch the last train as we have no small change so we took a cab home! Tired but happy.

The next morning we woke up early again. Head to westfield for shopping. We bought clothes in Jayjays again. ha-ha

Reminds me of westfield carousel in Perth.

Waiting for the bus to meetup with his family for brunch.

Me showing of my casio gold watch bought by him.

We had our late bruch at grain asian cafe.

The portion was big. The roast pork was awesome. After our brunch we walked around the mall and the city. I bought 3 cans of abalone for my dad. Oh yeah abalone in bah kut teh is awesome.

It was so glaring I couldn't open my eyes properly.


He had to take this picture which is the petaling street sign. We wonder how is the food.

Last few pictures! Head back home to continue our packing and had dinner. After that we head out for a small walk around the housing area.

My final picture with Ginger. =)

Goodbye Melbourne. We shall visit you again. =)

Wedding bells Day 3

Back to my Melbourne adventure. Yes again! I welcome my post with me posing with my new purple dress for the wedding reception ceremony. I was suppose to wear my contact lenses but it failed me as one of it is spoilt!

The handsome and smart guy!

Us with the bride. His sister in law. =) Woke up early to get ourselves prepared. The wedding couples arrived at our apartment to do some prayers before heading to the next venue.

See our hairs! It was quite windy there and cold too! I can't stand under the hot sun for long as it is burning my skin! lol!

Look at how beautiful and yet simple wedding reception it is! I can't think of any nice garden in KL and I don't think anyone can stand our hot sun here. lol!

His sister and cousin ( also my cousin). ha-ha!

Us standing on the red carpet! I just love the natural light which makes the whole photo so beautiful! =)

Next is the phototaking session.

Wedding couple's parents

His family picture!

Thou there is sun but it was just too hot and when the wind blows it is cold. Yeah whole thing purple. I bought this thick sweater in Melbourne. =)

This is where the wedding reception held. The Royal Botanic Garden. =)

Big brother making phone calls. Actually he is calling a cab for us. ha-ha but he looks like those mafia. =D

See how serious he is.

Really like those big boss in mafia group. ha-ha! Ya we waited for the cab like 1 hour. The worst part is I needed toilet at that time. Waste no time we walked to the public toilet. Thank god it was clean. =D

We head to Crown Casino for some light food at the food court. We walked back to our apartment. Fuh~~ with my 4 inch high heels. no easy mate! =D Then something happen, when we reach our apartment, he realise he left the camera at the crown casino. We took a quick change for the wedding dinner. Ya and I walked back with my 4 inch high heels and this time with my black long dress. Salute myself ay! ha-ha

He tried to take a picture in front of the mirror and it was not pretty. He said I'm just wondering how the girls take picture while looking at the mirror. ha-ha! Yes this picture was taken by me. Oh yes we got it back thanks to the supervisor there. Thank god he kept it and waited for the owner to come back. He actually ask how does it looks like and the colour. =)

Just want to share a story about this kind of incident. My colleague told me his friend left his blackberry at TGIF and when they got back the phone was gone and taken by the waiter. GUESE WHAT!! The waiter didn't give it back and say we didn't see it. Whoa what if this happen to us? Camera gone forever. Ahhhh the mentality of Malaysians and Aussies! BIG difference. oh well~~

Ok back to the post~~~

Polaroid photo of us. Nice right? Well I guess you guys read my previous post about polaroid. Everyone takes a picture, stick it and write a short sweet message to the wedding couples.

The guestlist for the night. =)

Before all guest walks in the ballroom, pre wedding cocktail are served.

Wondering why this photo is taken? Yes while I was resting at the room we saw this couple coming out wearing costumes. Wonderwoman~~ ha-ha

The reason I take this picture is because of the purple flower ring. he-he

Look at all the polaroid photos. Aren't they cute? ha-ha lucky cousin for getting the purple frame.

Me showing our polaroid photo!

He is trying to act cute! =P

All my accessories are purple, gold chain with gold watch. Everything was so matching. =D

Next session the after party. Me and him ordered vodka with redbull. Ahhhh it taste better than Malaysia because the redbull is different as it is from Austria where as Malaysia redbull is from Thailand. I helped him to finish up his drink. Chit chat session with everyone. At 1a.m everyone decided to leave. We took cab back home. Thanks to his friend for paying it.

We quickly took shower and head to bed as we waking up early tomorrow as it is shopping day and meeting up with my friend.
