Laurent, Pekopeko, camwhoring and animal pyjama

I went to my friend's house today. Well, interestingly, this friend of mine is my classmate, my friend, and my neighbour at the same time!!! Funny isn't it?? How the world is so small sometimes... So, we were chatting in her room and all of the sudden I told her I wanted to eat cake..since I am a sweet lover...Whatever things which are sweet, count me in!!!

So, she recommended me to try Laurent!!! Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie is located at 306 Little Collins st and is a very nice, classy bakery shop and as if one floor is not enough, they have two floors!!! I guess it is very famous then???

We ordered one Concorde and one Le Canotier to share.



Concorde in action



Me enjoying the cakes



Love the cake to the max!!! The outer layer is not that impressive, but when we digged further into it, the real taste just burst out and melted in your mouth..There was nothing we could say except "MmmmMMmmmm~~~~"

The cakes costed me $14 bucks..but it is worth it!! Not that expensive for a cake..I have eaten $8 cake before.. :))

After the supposedly "entree", we went on to have dinner nearby St Kilda Rd to have a nice Taiwanese dishes. So, we headed to 190 Wells st, South Melbourne.

The name of the cafe is very cute indeed, Peko Peko...
It looked small from the outside, but when you entered, it is quite spacious and very comfortable despite all the crowd!!!

This cafe is quite famous with its speciality Peko Box. When I said box, it is more like a Japanese Bento Box!! I wonder why the heck they use Bento box???

Anyway, I had a sweet and sour chicken crunch and my friend had a honey chicken something (I can't remember the exact name and don't have receipt with me).

It didn't take long considered the crowd out there..and while I was waiting, got bored and took some pictures..






Here it comes, the Bento !!!!



Sweet and sour Chicken Crunch....



Honey chicken something...Believe it or not..This box is very .....HONEY~~

And.....we talked and talked for hours..and guess what??? A very good looking waiter treated us so nice that they gave us another bottle of water!!! Probably thought that these chatty "aunties" must be having sore throat after talking so long!!!

Another rude waitress came then and gave us the bill so to "kick us out"!! :(

Being a good patron, of course we knew what it meant and left, it was warm and nice inside while it was freaking cold outside!!

Walking home and bored, we did some camwhoring..or maybe more of "I" did cam-whoring!!!



In front of NGV (National Galery of Victoria) For Salvador Dalí 's exhibition...
Just so you know about Salvador Dalí 's painting, here is the most famous one..



For those who are interested, the exhibition has already opened and will continue until 4th of October. Ticket is $23 for adult and I think $18 concession if I am not mistaken..


Went inside to see a Sydney Myer Bowl history of celebration...



Did some stupid pose...



Went home after 10.30 P.M. At home, I was surprised by my boyfriend because my animal pyjama!!! My sheep animal pyjama is here!!! with my nike shoes...





A pink sheep!!!!!!!



Ohhhh, I love this pyjama!!!! Anyway, bought this online at Korean website, the one I recommended before in my previous post on Online shopping..

My boyfriend even took a funny video bout it, thinking of posting it in YouTube...!!! :))

I just feel so happy today!!!!! Wish you all having happy day every single day!!!!

Blogs

I am ultimately bored nowadays because:

1. I don't have much plan for this winter holiday before commencement of next semester and I
have 20++ freaking days left!!
2. I don't have much money to spend on trips..though I plan to have a day trip somewhere suburb.
3. I am simply becoming such a lazy ass that I woke up at 01.30 p.m today!!!!

So, I am so so so out of things to blog nowadays...and I have been thinking probably I should start with some history of myself (as in why I start blogging)...

Once upon a time......................................................................

there was a kingdom called FarFarAway~~~ Fine..cut it...

Years ago, when I created my Friendster account, I have seen some of my friends who use their Friendster's blog and start pouring their stories in it. It can be stories of themselves, about their boyfriends cheated or about how much they hated this person without mentioning their names..(I am kidding, well....half-true)...

It was interesting for me to read...and when I studied in Malaysia for more than 2 years..my good friend recommended me THIS site. (Click to see)..

This guys is very interesting. He is funny, witty, and he can be serious at the same time. I like his style of blogging and definitely has his own unique sense of taste...His blog is professional and very much entertaining..

Since then, I have been visiting his site so regularly when I have nothing to read online!! I won't deny that he is my source of inspiration to start blogging...Although I know, not everyone blogs earn that much money like he does..but Hey, I was not only thinking about money when I start blogging..Though who doesn't want to be famous and successful??? Everything we do in life requires effort (I am lazy though)...

Another site that later on I found out is THIS.... This girl also has a very unique style.. She is famous because of her honesty in writing about how she really feels..not like most people who only write things that would please other people.

These people put a lot of effort and that is why they can be what they are today and have loads of readers supporting them..I admire them and look up to them to build my own blog though I will be honest that I have not taken blogging seriously yet...

Many people create blog for whole loads of different purposes, such as writing their own stories, advertising, etc but they share one thing in common and that is for sure....They want their opinion to be heard, they want to share their thought with people around the globe!!! (Yay, me too!!!).

Google and blog advertising are very commonly used in numerous sites simply because more websites are using Google Adsense to generate income. Google Adsense works by pay-per-click or per 1000 impressions. Therefore, if you have a website that generates more than 1000 hits per day, you might want to use..(I don't have 1000 hits a day but I still use Google Adsense..:)

Google Adsense usually is used coexistently with other forms of blog advertising so that you can generate more revenue..In short, if you have a major website with constant hits and you host advertisements in your website together with Google Adsense, means you might be earning quite much..

So, what happen if you don't have constant hits in you site???

Duh??? It is obvious that you need to put more effort!!! (as if I did~~~) If you write blogs only for your own interest, then...just forget about it.. :)

However, what I am struggling now is to find my own domain...that I want to focus on...rather than mixing everything up in one page...I see blogs about food, lifestyle, entertainment, automotive, etc and I am yet to find my own. Well, not that I can't have a mixture of everything, but I guess it would be better to focus on just one..Hmm...but since I am yet to find my own domain...might as well I write what I want at the meantime....

So far, I enjoy blogging and don't really care about the hits. As long as I have fun, I just want to pour my thoughts and feelings in this small space and share with others. Writing blog is like writing a diary, the difference is??? Blog is less secretive, in fact, it is publicized...

Best,

Swimsuit by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Recently I just bought some books to read during my leisure hour at home..

Since it is officially my second week of holiday (still doing nothing)...

James Patterson is one of my favorite thriller writer and I was definitely carried away by his story, trapped inside my own imagination and without me consciously or unconsciously knowing, I realized that I "see" the story from the readers' point of view, the "victim's" point of view and also the "killers" point of view...Sometimes I become so scared that it doesn't help me avoid being a paranoid but that is the WHOLE POINT!!!!

A good writer should engage the reader from the beginning to the end of the story...

Several years ago, I didn't like reading...but since I was enrolled in psychology, I have no choice but to read a lot in order to catch up "shin-kan-sen"-like-lecture (Shinkansen is Japanese speed train). Then, I started reading all sorts of book, be it fiction, non-fiction, self-help book, etc (except biography I guess???)...

Reading does not only help me expand my knowledge but also to help me improve my English skills as I think I still have poor sentence structure and that is also one of the reasons why I created a blog..So as for me to practice writing..Though I know writing blog is much more informal than writing a FREAKING ESSAY OR RESEARCH PAPER...

Anyway back to the point, James Patterson...I bought Swimsuit and have already finished reading it..So here I am, wanting so "badly" to share with people on the synopsis that is written in my own sentence...rather than just copy paste from some wikipidea what-so-ever...



Synopsis:

Kim McDaniels, a very beautiful model was at Hawaii doing photoshoot without knowing her life is in danger...She went missing after the photoshoot session and NEVER comes back...Days after she went missing, a "petite" girl's body was found floating on shore....

Kim's parents came to find their beloved daughter after receving weird phone call from a stranger telling them that they should fly to Hawaii by now if "he" was the parents of Kim...

Truth or not, as a parent, Levon and Barbara flew to Hawaii right away...(It was a BIG mistake).

Henri Benoit is a "psychopath" killer that is being hired by the "peepers" to create a film of him killing other people...Most of his targets are young women...and having a lot of experiences, he always succeeds in satisfying the "peepers"..

However, something changes along the way, Henri realizes somethingelse has driven him to kill instead of money...Thus, he started chasing after the "peepers" and "bring them down" one by one...

On the other side, Benjamin Hawkins, a journalist was on duty to write an article about the missing model and as he got too far in the case, he was used by Henri Benoit and trapped to write a book of his life as a killer by threatening to kill him and his girlfriend Amanda whom later on pregnant...What is Ben going to do??? Can he be smarter than Henri as not to be killed even though he follows what Henri wants him to do?? Will he survive and be able to protect his loved ones???

Reading this book has been so thrilling and I wasn't able to put down..

I was so drown in my own imagination and following the story thoroughly..and sometimes I am scared when I have to go out alone....T.T

However, reaching the end of the story, somehow I feel like the ending is flowing too fast and It feels like something is missing...Like the excitement is cut off so suddenly and out of nowhere I have reached the end of the story :(
There might be continous story towards it and if there is, I will be looking forward to reading it...

Fans of James Patterson should have read the book by now and I am currently reading the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, which is about romantic relationship and how to sustain or enhance the relationship to the better simply by understanding each other's LANGUAGE!!! Sounds fun?? No??? Fine...Till then, happy holiday-ing for people who celebrate!!!

Love,

B

Camwhoring Time!!!!

Remember how last time I said I will post the new coat that I bought online...Well, like anyone would care..no matter....I care!!!!!!!!!!!!

After all, I have never post my own pictures that much.............yet....

It was a sunny afternoon with chill wind....



Starts with new bag that I bought...





I look sarcastic I think.........



Enough of the bag...

My COAT!!!!

These pictures were taken before I "transformed" my hair....



I cut my hair..well, not exactly "cut"..just trimmed and straightened my hair...The hairdressers are amazing people!!! Definitely skillful and honest..Most of all, it is cheap!!!

Can you imagine I did my hair together with my boyfriend's hair only cost us $150????

Well, here is the thing....We didn't go to his saloon since it is his first time to get hands on experience in Melbourne..The guys opened a shop in Korea and earned good money...THEN, they decided to come to Australia and established their dream here.. As one of the guys told me..
"We are respected more in Australia...Our skills are acknowledged here...While it will be so much competitive in Korea"...and I thought...Hmmm~~~ That is interesting...

So, because they have not established a shop in Melbourne yet....They advertised online and VOILA!!! My boyfriend found them and indeed!!! They are really something!!!

Can you believe it that we did haircutting and hair straightening in our bathroom??? Yes, BATHROOM with HUGE mirror and bathtub for me to wash my hair!!!

Well, $150 do-it-at-home...What do you expect???

In progress...



After more than 3 hours....

Not yet...LOL...actually, I did not take the picture of soon-after-done picture...

We got changed and went out for dinner at 10. 40 p.m...T.T

We went to "Golden Tower" at Swanston st...Ordered Wedges Deluxe and Hot Dog with the Lot...



The wedges with cheese and bacon....Don't care about the fat...



Hot Dog with the Lot..As you can see here, a bunch of unfriendly onions waiting for me..and I HATE onions....My bad...I forgot to tell them not to put onions....



Without make-up....

The next day, went to watch TRANSFORMERS 2: Revenge of the Fallen...



New hair with the coat again...





Finished watching...at home..



Transformers 2 is definitely one that you would not want to MISS!!!!!

Also, it is a movie that I strongly suggest people to watch in CINEMA with ultimate sound effect!! Feel it with whole loads other people in the cinema..get the atmosphere!!!

There are more actions, humours, touchy..ultimately satisfying...!!!!

It was full and I got the best seats in the middle..!!!hahahahaha!!!! Well, all because I bought the ticket way way earlier...

For those watching today, enjoy the movie!!! There are loads of hot box office movies this season..Harry Potter and half blood prince, Terminator Salvation, Star Trek 11, Transformers 2, Ice Age 3 (3D), etc etc...No more money unfortunately...:((

P.S: R.I.P MJ....Despite of his ups and downs in his life-time great career, he is still THE KING OF POP!!! No other MJ in the world!!!! Now that is for sure....

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! My days of waiting worth every single cent I spent!!!

Just few days ago, my boyfriend and I did online shopping. It is a Korean website...Any Koreans should be very familiar with it...

it's http://gmarket.co.kr/

Unfortunately, for those of you who can't read Korean (me neither), should find interpreter to shop...:((

It is shockingly faster than expected in terms of delivery time. I supposed the earliest it will reach Melbourne is later on this week, but it reached TODAY!!!!! Can't wait to tell everyone how cool it is!!!

I always doubt about shopping online, you know, things like whether the size fits or not, whether the quality is good enough or not, whether the posting fee will be expensive or not, how long does it take, what if something missing, have to send back, wait bla3 and zillions more reasons to doubt online shopping....BUT!!!!!

I was proven that it was not that bad after all SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!

My boyfriend always ask me to shop online and I would go "Uhh, err, I don't know, is it safe?? Are you sure it is nice??? Errr Uhhhmm..." How bullshit I was~ ~

So, today, early in the morning, the package reached my door!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yuhuuuuu~~~



My safely packed package, sitting in the airplane for hours from Korea!!!



The airmail service...

Unpackaging....


You know what??? I was so bored with my phone already ...actually....

Then I bought blings for my phone!!!!! in Pink!!!!!



The finished product????



Front...



Back...

At least I won't get bored for now....BUT!!! The annoying part of the bling sticker is...IT COVERS MY LOUD SPEAKER!!!!!! The volume is goddamn low now!!! Well, a bit of exaggeration...but just lower than usual....:((





Next one is....BAG!!!!!!!



Still in the plastic bag...

Unveiling it..

I know, at the back is my laundry bag...:(( (I forgot to take close-up picture for shoes!!! My peep-toe shoes!!!! :(( Can't see it clearly, can you?? I can't....

Up next is knee-length socks..



I bought two colors, one in grey and another one in pumpkin color..

In the pack..



My boyfriend bought this...



Actually, it looks like a gigantic roach!!!

I bought more stuffs, like a loose-fit knit..I will post when I am wearing it..Ok, actually i forgot to take the picture of it..I know I know, how neglectful I am...
I also bought some underwears...Shhhhsshhh..So, too private to post it....*wink*

Some of the tiny beany things come with a very cute bag...



check out some of their website no matter you can't read or can!!!



I am gonna tell you how much I spent on these items...all for $200++!!!! Together with my boyfriend's stuffs plus posting fee is about $435!!!!!!!! Isn't it cheap???

Can you imagine I bought a knit sweater jacket (1), a french coat (2), a long sleeve shirt (3), and a hoodie (4), already cost me $250 in Lygon st???? So, no complaint here!!!!

Anyway, I have to end the preview so far...I am gonna post up more of the complete look when I am using them, mind me they just reached 2 and 1/2 hours ago!!!!

Random boring update

Random update before my exam!!!

Went to State Library nowadays to study... On my way to SLV




Studying in my room or living room is not the most brilliant idea ever !!! Seriously.... My room has a too bedroom atmosphere and light is too soft that you will feel sleepy 24/7 ...Living room????

My new home has a more than HUGE living room that you can do a whole break dance with group of people in it. The only problem I have with my living room is....

IT IS FREAKING WINTER NOW!!! It is crazily FREEZING out there!!!

I don't want to get bothered to drag my heater around the house where ever I go including toilet????? (I wish cos the toilet bowl is also damn cold!!!)

Back to the point, So I just think that we should be smart enough to use the facility available for you...Duh!!!!

State Library is perfect for people who want to study, form group discussion, visit the arts and history, and use free computer (be ready to queue for God knows how long).

There is the main area next to entrance where people can have coffee, use wifi, study (if you can bear the crowd).

There is R. Barry reading room where it is a more silent reading area comprising two floors. This is my favorite reading room, but I am more impressed with La Trobe reading room..

It is classy, historical, and unique..

I always think this angle looks like those 17th century orchestra house where all the higher status figures like kings, ministers, etc sit there and watch...don't you agree???





La Trobe reading room is the quietest reading room as well.. There was a time where there were bunch of noisy kids laughing so damn loud that I went to complain and one of the ladies came up and gave warning for the kids...Muhahahha!!! Screw you people who don't know how to read "SILENT READING AREA"!!!

Most of the time, after certain hour, SLV got so crowded that it is hard to find seat and the connection will be slower than turtle.. Oh well, can't help it...since it is located just right in the city, you can't expect that it is able to squeeze hundred and thousands of people in it!!!
