A Pair Of Shoes That Fit Not

A Chinese saying goes, 'You do no wear such a big hat if you do not have such a big head!'

I guess it also implies, 'You do not buy such a big pair of shoes if you do not have such big feet!'



My attempt of making the pair of shoes smaller.

Traces Of Love

It's Christmas. And this is the first Christmas that Bean and I are 'celebrating' separately.

This has been the most difficult separation ever since he left back to KL five days ago. It is probably because when I moved into this new home, Bean had been a part of it from the very beginning. He was the one who moved my furniture. He was the one who packed the kitchenwares with me. He was the one who knew which stuff belongs to where. He was the very first person who live with me in this house. He was part of this home until he had to leave.

When he left, he left a lot of things behind just because his luggage was too full. He had to check in two full boxes of Twisties, mind you. Each time I asked if he would want to bring this home, he would answer, 'Luggage cannot fit!!! Leave it here la...'

I walk into my toilet, I would see a pair of toothbrush. One of it is mine and the other one is his.

Each time I walk into my toilet, I pass by my laundry basket filled with his clothes.

I open my drawer, I see his gel sitting quietly at the corner.

When I slide my cupboard door, his AirAsia comfort kit lying comfortably on the floor. The comfort kit which I once complained, 'HAR? Why you buy? Is so not worth it! yak yak yak yak yak...'

Even at this moment, I am wearing my favourite Bean's company shirt.

But all these are good sign.

He is planning to be back here again. To be together with me.

Seperation of Hearts

All left is Tau Tau, Pharmabear and Me.

78 days to go...

Medical Check Up

Ugh. Going for a medical check up tomorrow for visa application.

A blood sample is required. *wails*

Goodbye Kuala Lumpur

The time to leave K.L. will be here by tomorrow. I wish that I could just port myself back to Melbourne instead of taking the 8 hours flight. Ugh.

Goodbye to my family members.

Goodbye to Bean's friends who came along to satisfy my garlic fish craze; who spent time playing Mario Kart with me; and who had dinner with me right after they touched down from Bali respectively.

Goodbye to my friends who made an effort to call and meet up with me even though I didn't really make much of an effort in return.

Goodbye to my beloved boyfriend, Bean for slaving this whole 2.5 weeks.

All of you will be missed.

What Are You Dreaming?

It was bright early Sunday morning...

Me: Don't disturb me... I am dreaming about saving Kevin Cheng.
Bean: I am dreaming about buying one box of cereal, free three boxes of cereals!

Hungover

Exams ended. Great!

What's next? Party with lots of alcohol!

It all started with a very nice dinner and a bottle of wine. Then we moved on to another bar for another bottle of wine. The bar closed too early which forced us to another bar at Crown Casino for more drinks.

The night ended with: 2 bottles of wine. 6 shots. 3 cocktails. 1 gin&tonic. 2 pint of beer.

The morning started with: A MASSIVE HANGOVER!

I slept at 6.30am in the morning, waking up at 8.30am for my first puking session which I thought would make me feel much better. And I actually did! It made me feel so much better that I was hunger for food. I fried luncheon meat (Chinese version of Spam) coated with egg, totally forgot that fried oily food stimulate more nausea! I took a bite of the luncheon meat and straight to the toilet I went...

*BLUEKKKKKKKKK*

And that continued on and off for the whole morning till 1pm!

I could not lie flatly on me bed because I could feel all the blood rushing into my brain. My head was swirling like mad! I had to sit up straight to sleep!


I could not do huge sudden movements. If I were to look from right to left, I had to shift my head bit by bit. If I were to walk from one end to another, I had to take baby steps with standing still moments in between. Otherwise, nauseous feeling would come back and I had to anticipate for another puking session.

In my purple medicine box, I had tempted to take the 5 years expired anti-emetic tablet.

Mu luggage was half packed. My clothes were not washed. It was so freaking miserable.

Nearly gave up on going the Graduation Party as well as the flight home.

But in the end, I was at the party and the flight home.

No more drinking irresponsibly! GAh!

Too Much

Crap!!! I don't think I'll remember this tomorrow.

Certainly, I don't think I'll remember how I won money from the casino.

1 flight.

Final Hurdle

Please don't let me trip.

Nightmares

It is true when people say that if you laugh too much in the morning, you'll get nightmares at night. Which I did. About my dog - BB.



The dream starts off with me realizing my dog having some cardiac (heart) problem, probably due to his old age. My dog sorta know that he is sick. He kept running to me and asking me to hug him. My dog miraculously understands when I speak to him in human language. Sometimes he whispers into my ear in human language? of how he is feeling.

My mum and I send him to the vet to have a consult on what is happening to him. Then the doctor comes out telling us that the reason that he has cardiac problem is because there are three fetuses in his stomach? and therefore suppressing his heart? Wahahahaa... (when I woke up from my dream, I was wondering how did my dog have three fetuses when he is a MALE?) So the doctor decides to take out the fetuses and apparently they are alive. I remembered me asking, 'Are they gonna be alive?' and the doctor replied 'Yes'. CRAPPPP!! I have to take care another three babies?

So after all the surgeries, we head home with my dog (without the babies thank god!). My dog is sleeping in my brother's room and I occasionally have a check on him, speaking to him in human language again! Then don't know how I realise the cause of his cardiac problem is because he is suffering from hypotension (low blood pressure) from all the anti-hypertensive drugs that he is taking! And I blamed myself for not realising the adverse effect of the anti-hypertensive drugs because I am a PHARMACIST!

-_-

Family Outing

My housemate's craze over Kim Hyun Joong made her stumbled upon this great reality show.

'Okay... I have three days off before this paper and three days off before that paper. I will study right after I finish my first paper. Wake up early the next day and continue studying. I will complete everything in time with EXTRA time for revision!'

Perfect.

Look what am I doing now?

Ransacking my wardrobe. Trying on clothes to see which one I should dress to impress Bean.

Blasting my laptop volume with Korean songs.

Kill me. Seriously.

How Does An Erection Occur?

Since I am revising about erection (yes... the PENIS!), I might as well post it up here in case some of you might be curious to know how a penis actually does it job!

1. The penis basically has arteries and veins: corpora cavernosa, corpus spongiousum and tunica albuginea.
2. Corpora cavernosa runs the length of the penis.
3. Erection begins when the sensory and mental stimulation
4. The smooth muscles of corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum relax allowing excess blood to fill in through the arteries while drainage of the blood through the veins are blocked.
5. The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand.
6. The tunica albuginea will trap the blood thereby sustaining erection.
7. Erection is reversed when muscles in the penis contract to stop inflow of blood and open outflow channels.

Gosh... didn't know it is so complicated.

It is not such a dickhead afterall...

Barriers

3 papers. 1 flight. separating me from Bean.

And... garlic fish!

Inspection

My landlord is selling the house and it has been opened for inspection for the past 5 times for the last three weeks.

Right now, there are people swarming into my room- in and out, left and right, up and down. I could only get through two slides for my studies till I thought of updating my blog.

It is weird to see strangers walking into the house, scrutinizing every inch of my house. INCLUDING my wardrobe.

And OMG... they are walking in with their shoes! I could track their footsteps that they kindly left on my carpet.

Thank you very much, strangers.

Temple Visiting

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Are you done yet? Are you done yet? =P

Oh the phone rang right away!

Lol...

A Glass Of Wine

In the midst of a Sunday night, I am sitting in my room savouring a glass of white wine ALONE.

Boyfriend miles a way from me. And he rather go jogging than talk to me!

Let me give you 5 facts about Bean.

1. Bean falls asleep in 10 seconds. Literally.

2. Bean only buys the hair gel if it comes with a free bottle/ discount/ words on the bottle like 'EXTRA 20%'

3. Bean is bad with directions. Even if he has been to the place like 3 times, he still asks me, 'Eh baby... turn where ar?'

4. Bean has a lot of patience and tolerance when dealing my shits.

5. Bean loves the beach

Tee hee...

Baby Chino

Warm Milk with Chocolate Shavings.



From the children's menu. =D

Yummy froth makes my day!

Too Much Of Pain?

4 X Nurofen Plus
3 X Mersyndol Day Strength
4 X Panafen Plus
4 X Herron Plus

The above were about to be bought by a customer in my pharmacy before he yelled at me.

Me: Hie. How are you doing? What are you using all these medications for?
Customer: I am buying them because is cheap.
Me: Yeah... but we can't supply all of them to you.
Customer: WHY? THIS is for my wife! THIS is for my daughter!
Me: Well, we just want to ensure the effectiveness use of the medications.
Customer: That's not the point! You are doing it on special!
Me: You can get one box of each at the discounted price.
Customer: You know what? I am not getting any of it!

Geee... don't buy, don't buy la. Was very much fine by me. There wasn't a need to raise his voice anyway.

I rather you not buying them than dying of OD.

Boys Over Flowers

So handsome. So cute. So sweet.

*faint*

Singstar

I am itching for something. I fell in love with a Mama and Papa song. I want to sing it....



'All the leaves are brooowwnnnnnnn... and the sky is greyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

What am going to do without you, my singstar partner??

P/S: I was at a shower cap party.

Time Of The Year

This is the time of year when I whine and sulks, whine more and sulks more. Exams are just few weeks away and all I am doing is whining and sulking. Whining on why am I so lazy and sulking on why do I have to sit for exams? Not even a nerve in me is motivated to study. People have been telling me how great uni life is and asking me to enjoy it to my fullest. I get it but right now I just want to get out of it. I am hating the whole cycle of lectures, assignments and exams. I want a change. I want a difference. I want a whole new experience.

Hopefully for now I will be working hard towards the change, the difference, the whole new experience.

Air Ticket Sale

I was lucky to catch 20% sale on Air Asia!!!

I saved over $200!! *big grin*

Garlic fish... Here I come!!! Weeeeeeee!!!!



Me: OMGGGGGGGG!!! AIR ASIA GOT SALE!!! 20% OFF!!!!!!!!!
Bean: ... ermmm... good la...

Thanks for the 'VERY' exciting response, baby.

How I Met Your Mother?

Shepp #1: The Moos

Shepparton is a famous town for dairy farming. It is not surprising that they dedicated a whole park for cows. I was pretty excited when I saw them, 'OMG!!!! I wanna come here take picture!!!!' Everyone who I knew at Shepparton told me that it is a must-to-do when I am in Shepparton. And that was exactly what I did...


The yummy yogurt cow. My housemate fav's.


Spider-cowwww


Sponsored by Goulburn Valley Imaging Group. I can see why.



Cow in Pyjamas


Graduated Cow



Mermaid Cow. Ain't it sexy??



Cow with tiger skin.

HOW NOW BROWN COW????

I Gotta Feeling...

that tonight's gonna be a good night...


I mean next Friday...

WooHooooo!!!

Goodbye Shepp!

Three weeks have flew passed.

I am finally back to my home in Melbourne. I am not exactly sure if I am fully happy to be back in Melbourne. Part of me still feel like residing in Shepp. It was an emotional parting this afternoon. I will definitely miss Shepp, especially the people.

Nonetheless, is great to see my friends again.

Passionfruit Cake

Oh boy... one of my colleague's mother in Shepparton baked the best cake yesterday.


The cake was so fluffy and yummy. The cream was amazingly good!!!

P/S: I did 20 scripts in 20 minutes today! *beams*

Ola Shepparton!

After three hours of driving, my housemate and I are finally at Shepparton Melbourne University School Of Rural Health Accommodation.

This driving trip to Shepparton made me realise that I actually quite like driving instead of being driven unless I am being driven by Bean. Cause I have someone to hold my little hand. Whereas if he is not around, at least my little hands are busy with the steering wheel!

Shepparton is quite a large rural town I shall say. My housemate complained that this place isn't rural enough. I have yet to explore much except supermarkets like K Mart, Safeway, Coles,Target and Officework. My housemate was frantically searching for a LAN cable which explained why exploring all the supermarkets. I saw loads of cows statue flooding the city. Not too sure of the symbol but will definitely snap some pictures sometime next week.

The accommodation that we have been assigned to is pretty new. Colourful buildings with each building fitted with eleven rooms, toilets, a huge ass living room and kitchen. Most of the residents here are Melbourne Uni med students. We have been told there will be a party going on this Friday. Woohooo!!!



My colourful accommodation for the next three weeks!


We rented Toyota Aurion. Damn huge car. My housemate was like, 'OMG!!!! There are freaking loads of leg space behind your seat!' Very funny! I know I am short and I have to adjust the driver seat to like damn front. Arrghh!! I love this car but sadly we have to return it tomorrow!

Our rooms are kickass man...



Double bed. Free internet in the room. Personal phone!


Yay!!! I was worried about the phone call charges because I thought the only way I could talk to Bean was calling him with my mobile phone which is like freaking expensive. Or he call me on my mobile which is freaking expensive too which he doesn't seem very willing to pay. I am not accusing him okay! I found this out last time when he called me from Singapore.

Me: Hmm... the phone charges not expensive mer?

At first he said,

'I don't mind...

Wah... I thought he damn sweet okay! Which then he added...


...BUT I'M CONSCIOUS ABOUT IT!'

Everybody, this is a statement that made no sense. -_-

So is all great now since I have a fixed line in the room. The Maxis international call charges to fixed line is pretty cheap.

Work starts tomorrow. And it takes me 30 minutes walk to get there.

Sux without a car. =(

Rural Pharmacy

Professional Experience Placement Round 4 starts tomorrow!

I will be away to a far far away land named Shepparton for three weeks.

I have packed just enough but it seems like I have over packed. Maybe my luggage are all bulged out as though they are very full but the fact is my clothings are damn bloody thick, hence taking up all the space. I have tried really hard minimizing the stuff I am bringing.

Bye bye Melbourne.

Hello Shepparton!

Traders Hotel

I am suppose to be practicing my IELTS writing but I guess writing an entry for my blog is still consider practicing my writing? I was too tempted not to blog about my second anniversary celebration with Bean when I browsed through the pictures.

Bean bought me something he never thought he would...


As a return, I booked a night at Traders Hotel for us to spend some lovely time together.

The reason I chose Traders Hotel was because it was smacked right in the middle of the city. We wanted to spend some time at the Sky Bar as well. The price was pretty reasonable compared to other surrounding hotels. The room was modern, clean and the service was excellent!


Our celebration started off with having a nice dinner at Hajime. My favourite cuisine- Japanese. Hajime and us go way back. But more on this later...

When we checked into Traders Hotel, I was given a hand bouquet of roses! They were so pretty! Sadly, I couldn't bring it back to Melbourne! =( Actually, I told them the reason I booked this room is for anniversary celebration and it is a surprise for my 'fiance'! Wahahahaha... It was bullshit. I was just trying my luck for some complimentary stuff! =P But anyway, they were great! They organized a chocholate fondue in our room with a lovely card.



Ms Chan Kit Ling & Spouse. Tee hee...

Anyway, the fondue was so good! Bean was in love with the chocholate chip cookies!


They even decorated the tables and bathtubs with rose petals. The room was dimly lit with yellow lights. So romantic!! I couldn't help it but started taking pictures with Bean.


The night was just simple. We headed to Sky Bar for a couple of drinks enjoying each others company. Times like this are precious to us because we don't exactly have much time together. I guess long distance relationship makes you cherish more of the limited time.


Our celebration ended with breakfast in bed and the movie, 'Never Been Kissed'.


Waking up next to the person you love is the sweetest thing.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Baby!

Ikan Bawang Putih

The one of many things I miss...


I want garlic fish!!! *wails*

What Peach?

Me: So this time when I come back got flowers or not?
Bean: Our love is beyond flowers.
Me: Bullshit. I want peach roses!
Bean: No.

Damnit... no flowers this time was what I thought. But...

Bean indeed bought me flower. He surprised me at the arrival entrance with a fake plush rose that is bendable from Toys-r-us. Wrapped in a plastic bag. -_- He said he was meant to hold the flower while waiting for me to walk out but he was too shy. Bean said, 'YZ was right... She said if I buy this, you would use it to hit me!' She was so right... all I did with the flower was using it to hit Bean. Yeah... I am the abusive type. =P

While I got into the car, Bean gave me another surprise. He secretly bought a stalk of rose for me and put it in the car. This time it was a real rose. But it was pink in colour. No peach! =( To be honest, pink rose kinda looks ugly. But it was sweet for him to get me flowers la. One stalk or 12 stalks. I still appreciate Bean buying me flowers.

After an hour ride home and the exhausted me, I could not wait to jump onto my bed and have a great rest. Lugging my baggage on one hand and handbags on the other with my half opened eyes, I dragged myself into my room just to find another surprise. A HUGE one. A bouquet of roses sitting beautifully on a vase on my table. *melts* My eyes shot opened with my jaws dropped. 'Why got flowers oneeee??', I asked. Bean said, 'For you la...' =D


Bean secretly called my parents and passed the roses to them the night before I arrived. Sneaky he was. But I love him!

It was a very beautiful bouquet of roses. Peach in colour. Just what I asked for until...

Bean: There is no such thing as peach roses!
Me: Then what is this?
Bean: CHAMPAGNE!!!
Me: Ok fine...

Champange or peach. I still love them.

Thank you baby for making my every trip back a really sweet one.

How Did It All Happen...

two years ago?

It was my first summer break in Kl back in 2007. I received a call from my friend asking if I would like to work for an event company. Giving the situation at that time which I had not many things going on and the money I could earn for my Phuket trip (mum didn't wanna give me money... ish. But bro gave me money instead!), I agreed without hesitation. After all, nothing is greater than working with my friends.


Fast forward two months later, we were suppose to attend a briefing meeting before the actual event which was so boring! Freaking two hours to tell me what is there to do in Pangkor Island which I could have read it in 15 minutes! Anyway, that was the very first time I met Bean. He was sitting diagonally across me wearing a blue shirt and his brown pants. That was all I could remember about him. Oh... apparently he was our 'head' and we had to save his number into our handphone if we have any problems during the event. Yeah... instead of him asking for my number, I had his number instead. How sweet?!


Highlights during the 3 days event:
- Bean aimed a water balloon right at my left boob! I had to walk around with a freaking huge water patch around my left boob. Utterly embarrassing! Stupid Bean!
- Bean and I had breakfast alone. No idea how we ended up having breakfast alone but I couldn't remember much about it.
- Bean and I cut coupons together! So sweet right? But most of the time I chucked the whole thing at him and asked him to complete it! =P
- Bean with his non-stop critisicm about my height! Bloody hell... had to remind me that I am not tall!
- Bean and I was scolded by this bitch for trying out the pre-dinner games! 'Eh!! Can you guys stop playing and do some work?!' she screamed. Bitchy or what? Bitch!

If I were to thank someone for getting us together, it would be Sing. Without Sing, I would never have met Bean!


The event flew by three days later and I thought I would never see him again! But no... we met each other again on the very next day. He bought me the very first glass of Barley. *melts* I always tell him the reason why we got together is because he jinxed the Barley! =P

When I really thought that was the end of us, I received a surprise SMS from Bean.

It went, 'Hey! I have good news! Just received a new job offer! It must be you, the lucky charm!'

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! *melts x100*

Think about it, don't know what kind of pick up line was that! Ish.

We kept close by sending emails to each other that was started off with three sentences to three A4 pages long! We would just fill in each other with our every day lives. And in the emails, Bean would drop little subtle messages that he misses me. *melts x10000* The emails which then turned into phone calls and sparked. We got together! Yay!

To be honest, there wasn't any official thingy of him asking me to be his girlfriend, we somehow got together. Sigh... this won't happen for our marriage! Die die also must get him down on one knee with a HUGE diamond ring. Tee hee!

So here we are, after two years still going strong and loving.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Baby!

I love you.

Central Heating

The weather in Melbourne has been utterly crazy. Average temperature is about 13 degrees + strong wind + raining. Is it even winter yet? And just yesterday while I was on my way to work, it was raining hail! Thousands and millions of ice droplets falling down from the sky!

Just recently, my house central heating was spoilt. It was making this loud 'gong-gong-gong-gong' sound whenever we on it. It was as close as to the sound of explosion. A guy had to come over to check what has happened to the central heating. After inspection, he took away the huge heater fan! OMG! I thought he was going to fix it on the spot! Apparently, it was old and all the rubbers/ conveyer belt/ whatever you called it were loose and torn!

Anyhow, the huge heater fan has came back yesterday after a week long. I have the freaking best sleep ever! No more shivering in cold and squirming my little hands under my thighs!


The central heating outlet in my room. My saviour.

Oh, I could finally sit on the toilet seat too. It didn't feel icy cold anymore. =P

I lub my central heating!

Freaking Out

This is not good.

I am bloody freaking out for exams which is exactly two week away!

And I am still working these two weeks as well as on the exam week.

Sigh... don't know what got into me.

I surprise myself sometimes.

Have You Love Someone Today?

This post was drafted 7 months ago. I wasn't planning to post it up because I thought most people would not understand what I wrote. But reading this back today, it reminded me many of the wonderful things Bean and I went through. Especially times like this when our relationship is at a very tense stage.

++++++++++

"I Love You"

3 words. 8 letters.

It is simple yet the most meaningful phrase.

That's at least how I feel.

There are times when saying I love you is the most hilarious thing you ever did...

On the phone with Bean when he is in the office...

Me: Alright... Happy working! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Bean: Hhahahahahaa...
Me: What? I said, I LOVE YOU!!!
Bean: DITTO!

And both us will crack into laughters.

Or sometimes after ending a conversation with Bean, I would receive a message...

'YOOOO! No 'I Love You' one??????????'

I would start to giggle non-stop and my friends would be wondering what is wrong with me?

What exactly is so funny? I don't know. Maybe it is just a situation where it belongs to Bean and I. And the word 'ditto' totally make sense of what he is trying to say...

Sometimes when I am so mad at him, he ends the conversation with 'I Love You, baby!' And inside me went like... OMG!! You are not suppose to do this things when I am so mad at you. I am suppose to be angry at you. Not having this warm fuzzy feeling in me!!! No... I am still mad at you. I don't wanna say it!' And I ended up replying... 'I love you too...' It is a powerful phrase. It is like a magic phrase to all the unsolvable problems you have. When this magic phrase works, that's when you know you are truly in love with this person because regardless of how angry you are, you cannot but to give in to those 8 letter words.

Have you love someone today? Go ahead and plant the warm fuzzy feeling in that special someone.

I Love You, Bean.


UPDATE: Bean and I are doing fine. As loving as forever.

HaChewwww

I am not exactly sneezing. Just having nasal congestion. Bad one which I really need to sleep and rest.

This is killing me!

I gonna fail my exams seriously. With such busy schedule juggling between lectures and work and assignments and this stupid illness... I have no time left for studying. OMG!!!!!

I need love, baby.

Lots.

Cecconi's Cantina

Boyfriend has just updated one of our fine dining experience. I better update too before he starts complaining that I never update.

During Bean's short trip to Melbourne this year, we had another fine dining experience. This time was Italian. As usual, we heard about this place from Miss Vanity. She is some sort of walking food directory. Ask her and she can name you million of great places to dine. Of course great place comes with a great price tag.

Cecconi's Cantina has one of the best ambiance compared to all other great restaurants I had been to. The restaurant was quiet. So quiet that I felt like I should whisper when I talk in case someone else could hear me if I ever talk in my normal volume. With modern layout of the restaurant, directly looking into their clean kitchen with the aroma swirling out. Oh gosh, what a great way to stimulate the nose receptors! And perfectly dimmed with yellow lights bringing out the romantic mood in us.

PRIMI: Caramelised seared scallops, savoy cabbage puree, chives & ginger


After repeated episodes of watching Hell's Kitchen, I couldn't help but to order some seared scallops as appetizer. It was so damn freaking succulent. The ginger gave a bang in the flavours!

AUD 28

PIATTI PRINCIPALI #1: Duck two ways - pan fried breast, confit leg & lentil ragu with brussel sprout salad


My main course. What can I say about this? Little pink duck that tasted so succulent! Brussel sprout never tasted so good in my life! I would lick the plate if I could. But in a fine dining restaurant, I guess I better show some elegance! =P

AUD 39

PIATTI PRINCIPALI #2: Scotch fillet of beef, mushrooms, shallot jam & gremolata


Bean's main course. That came with a funny conversation!

Waiter: How would you like your steak?
Bean: Medium well.
Me: NO! MEDIUM RARE!
Waiter: Oh... that's a big difference!
Me: Medium rare!
Waiter: Oh... I guess you have to follow the lady's choice.

Poor Bean. =P

And while we were walking out of the restaurant, the waiter said, 'Medium rare! Not medium well!' Haha... wasn't the waiter funny?

Oh back to the steak, so it was perfectly grilled to medium rare. The mashed potatoes that came with it was smooth and creamy. Yum!

AUD 42

DOLCI: Chilled blood plum soup, yoghurt sorbet & pistachio tuille

I love this dessert! I love this dessert! So did Bean! So did Bean! I can't say much about this dessert... you really have to try it yourself! Yoghurt sorbet melting along with chilled plum soup... so damn good!!! Baby!!!! Faster come here again!!!!

AUD 16

Tip #1: Order a glass of wine or two. Goes well with the food. And certainly the environment. I have a thing with wine and fine dining. Those two come hand in hand.
Tip #2: Take picture! Of YOURSELF! Not the food damnnit. We were so shy, we did not take a picture of ourselves in the beautiful restaurant! =(

The end of our fine italian dining came with quite a heavy price tag. But the quality and service of the food made it so worth it. And I guess the most important is the company that made it all worth while.

Is great being a pharmacist.


Loads of free post-its and pens.

I have a thing for post-its.

Don't exactly know why. Bribe me with post-its and I will do anything for you.

Provided your post-its are pretty.

FML

A conversation came across at work,

Me: Hey... what's FML?
Pharmacist: Flourometholone


Me: NOOO!!!
Pharmacist: Huh? No?
Me: Is F**K MY LIFE!!

I found it funny because this whole FMyLife.com has been such a hit.

But Bean kinda killed my joke when I told him this.

He was like 'I don't understand your industry joke!' -_-
