End of August updates.

I just found a new motivation regarding my study progress that has been dropped significantly in the present. Even though there are so much hurdles to go through, I could still convince myself and slap my cheek whenever I see my cute timetable pin-up from Frankie (thanks to Frankie team, I'll always be your loyal subscriber!), where I date certain upcoming excitements.

Ahaaa!

The highlight of all...

'BRB' ICYO RETREAT is just around the corner!!

:D 

Total excitement!

And I just feel so blessed today that I wanna tell the world that this life is really amazingly incredible. There are so many good people around, and it surely rises up the positive energy of you.

And a little gift from home, brought by my family tradition.

Sticky rice with tons of ebi and little cuts of chasiew! 

Alrightey, back to the textbook reading. I wish for us all a luck in the upcoming tests and assessments :)

Ciao!

To everyone in this universe.

I'm currently mad with these music videos by David Choi.


Enjoy! :)

A new baby is on his way.

I just wanna spread a good news, that I have finally bought a new baby number 4. A Nikon DSLR it is! 

:D 

Got a plan to fill up my Flickr albums so soon ♥ 

Jane Eyre

I just got back from watching Jane Eyre with my housemates. For you who've never heard of it, it's one of the english classic novel collections by Charlotte Bronte (who I guess she's the sister of Emily Bronte, who wrote the Wuthering Heights, which is one of the famous english novels as well *Ok I'm done talking*). 

Anyway, the story is about an orphan named Jane, who lost both of her parents when she was baby, and were raised by her aunt and uncle. She was treated unequally with her cousins, her head was even beaten to the wall by her sarcastic dumb cousin. She was finally sent to the Lockwood school, to get educated to be some kind like a governess or servant I guess (I did a lot of guessing in this movie though, due to the lack of proper British english, and no captions available).

And she finally grew up, and she worked as a governess to teach a little french girl in a private household. There she met and fell for a man who unfortunately had got married 15 years ago, and he locked up his wife in a secret room, in which Jane thought that there was something ghosty that haunted the house.
After she found out the truth, she left and ran away until a kind young man found her almost dried up, and brought her home and she was given a place to stay with his two-same-aged sisters. 

Anyway skip to the ending.

It was like a typical movie where we all thought she would fall in love again with this young man who was way better than her previous love. But we got it all wrong. Unfortunately she was the heiress of the wealth of his uncle Madeira, he left 20,000 pounds for her. She begged to be one of the young man's sisters because she was always alone, and gave them 5,000 pounds each. Then she went to the old house and she was surprised that it was burnt, nobody knew how the fire were set up a year ago. Then she finally found her man of love at the backyard, bearded all over his face, and he turned blind...

.....

...

The end.

Has been one of my favourite english classic novels :)

You name it.

Hi again :)

I found a pretty relaxing ambience from this music video. I started to love them but I'm just curious how rare people ever heard of them.
Anyway, enjoy!

It might be, but it might not be.

I can't seem to get rid of this thought. It haunts me every night and I hate it so much that I really wish everything did not ever happen. I hate it when something keeps reminding me of the past. There is no one to blame, really. All I can blame is just me, for not able to leave the past behind. I couldn't blame people for changing, and I believe they were just showing who they really are. I once thought that it might be one of them who would stay and fight till the end, but my thought did not seem to be the right answer. There once a saying, "Don't leave something good to see if you can find better, because once you realize you had the best, the best found better." Thousand of questions fulfilling my head, asking when the right time for the 'better' one to come. I don't seem to fully aware of any hurdles it might lead, but all I ever wanted is to go back in time, when it did not completely seem to be a big matter. I'm lost and desperate. I can't position myself in a right place. I almost get to the final line where I seem to lose faith of whether true love even exists...
Does it really happen? 
Or is it just an imaginary plain dream you ever had in your head?

Etro @ Kings Street.

Me and my cousin met just a week ago, and it was a really special day for us to be able to escape and celebrate our freedom from duty to work.
We pondered about what to have for lunch, was it asian or western. And it came to a decision to give a go at Etro Cafe at Kings Street.

I kept my taste on the Risotto Special that day, the Chicken and Mushroom risotto, which I ever had the other day with Brenda and Inez.

The best risotto I ever had I guess, since I haven't found one like this except for the Seafood Risotto at Ciao Italia I had last time. It came with a large plate, and the risotto seemed to be in a very small portion as compared to the other Italian dishes around. But I can ensure you that you will have more than enough to finish it. What's more, you can also get a coffee with it for only $20.00 with their so-called "Lovely Lunch" deal. 

My cousin ordered the pasta of the day, which was the Fettucini with sundried tomato, basil, parmesan, olives and so many more contained inside the dish. 

It was good though, but the Risotto had won the award that day :D

The taste was quite simple and nothing extraordinary for the dish. But I should say that the sundried tomato had rocked my tongue. They were marinated with the basil which made the taste rich and add something strong to the plain fettucini. 

But overall it was a good place I reckon. The coffee was fantastic and they were all in a reasonable price. I didn't remember to take picture of the place, and again they were taken with my iPhone and I was surprised that the pictures are not too bad. Oh yeah my Phonnie rocks! :D

Well then, I wish you enjoyed your weekend and happily prepared for the rest of the week. 

God bless! ♥
